[MITgcm-devel] vermix test experiment

Hi Martin,

I was thinking of changing verification/vermix/input/data
to switch from Linear EOS to eosType='MDJWF', (it's already 
there, but commented out):
The reason is that when I was changing all those "call find_rho"
in all those vertical mixing scheme pkg (by the way, most of 
those calls could be removed just by using sigmaR), 
I intentionally added a bug (wrong k reference level) to check 
how wrong it was, and with linear EOS, the results were identical 
(no change, with or without the bug).
Since those tests (vermix.*) are just there to check
all those pkg, it would be better to make it more selective
(and indeed, with MDJWF, the bug shows up clearly in the output).
Plus, I don't see any experiment which is testing this EOS, 
is it right ? this could be an additional good reason.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
