[MITgcm-devel] r* changes 3 weeks ago?

[Alistair Adcroft]

JMC changed calc_r_star.F 3 weeks ago (June 19) with a "bug fix" and 
reading the code it certainly looks like a treu bug fix.

http://mitgcm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/MITgcm/model/src/calc_r_star.F.diff?r1=1.4&r2=1.5

However, the Irminger Sea calculation (Tom Haine) is no longer stable 
using z* where it was before the bug fix. What's up?

How can we have produced the figures for the z* paper if this bug was 
turning off z* over the slope region?

Puzzled.
