[MITgcm-devel] update on radiation part of bulk code

[Martin Losch]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll read your paper again to remind me of  
the details.

I am not sure about the linearity: I have removed the mean heat flux  
from lwdown and the solution is not that much different! I still get  
an average flux of 8-9W/m^2 into the ocean *in spite* of the  
corrections (I can check with monitor_exf that it is really applied  
and it is). If find this all very strange ...
