[MITgcm-devel] vertical mixing

[Martin Losch]

Hi again,
I have finished the first package, before I check it in I'll do a few 
more test, but a few things I'd like to know now:

1. I have called the package PP for Pacanowki & Philander (1981. If 
this is a bad choice give me a better name (maybe PP81, but then I was 
afraid that the number interfere with the shell scripts?) and I change 
the name, and the names of all subroutines.
2. PP clearly should not used together with KPP. In fact the Mellor 
Yamada (is MY or MY80 a good name?) scheme I plan to implement and the 
PP and KPP are exclusive, too, but they do not interfere at 
compile-time. There should be a runtime check in packages_check, 
shouldn't it?
