[MITgcm-devel] KPP diagnostics

[David Ferreira]

Hi all,
Quick question: is there someone against removing the
mixed-layer depth diagnostics in KPP (KPPmld) ?

It redundant since there is already a mixed-layer depth diagnostics
in calc_oce_mxlayer.F (MXLDEPTH). Just in case, you care
why keeping MXLDEPTH:
- it is more flexible because is available even with KPP turned off
- it's more flexible because the mixed-layer criteria is not hard-coded
but a runtime parameter.
- it's smarter (avoid multiple recomputations of density)
- by default, it's doing the same as KPPmld

Quid ?
