Baylor, could you take a look at following slides:
hzhang_submeso_tests.ppt<http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/data1/meeting/2010/04_07/hzhang_submeso_tests.ppt>

They compare results on cube sphere with and without your submesoscale parameterization
for mixed layer depth and for temperature profiles in the CLIMODE region.

We modified your MITgcm code to add the cutoffs you discuss in appendix A of your paper.
(Without it, the model crashed.)

We want your opinion on

a) is the mixed layer depth pattern of change consistent with what you expect
    (seems to be of right order of magnitude compared to results in your paper) and

(b) unfortunately in the CLIMODE region, things are getting worse rather than
     better. So something else is missing. Any suggestions?
    (Redi mixing below the mixed layer?).

I cc the devel list if anyone else has experience with the submeso parameterization.

D.
