[MITgcm-devel] EOS_CHECK

Hi Jean-Michel,

we got ourselves a problem:
- for JMD95Z/P the values are correct only for the surface (p=0), and  
you can easily see why: the values for the bulk modulus are wrong.
- for MDJWF the check pass except for the first one (and I don't see  
why this is so, could be round off)
Note that the first 5 check values are for MDJWF and the remaining  
ones for JMD95 (both from the respective papers), I have included a  
line in the output that makes this clearer.

Now, why is the bulk modulus wrong in these checks? Probably because  
there is an issue with the way pressure is computed?
