[MITgcm-devel] explicit vertical mixing

[Samar Khatiwala]

Hi

Is it possible to treat vertical mixing explicitly in the MIT model?  
I understand that for most (99.999999%) of
problems this would be a crazy thing to want to do. But it so happens  
that I have a compelling need to
treat advection-diffusion completely explicitly, but WITHOUT using  
convective adjustment. Furthermore, I'd
like to do this only for ptracers and leave T and S alone (but ignore  
that complication for now).

So I'd like to turn off implicitDiffusion, but still make use of the  
ivdc parameter in computing the vertical diffusivity.
 From what I can make out, there seems to be no combination of  
parameters that would allow me to do this.
I think I know how to hack the code to make this happen, but perhaps  
someone here has a better idea (i.e.,
requiring less work).

Thanks, Samar
