Hi,

I have a question about the bottom drag coefficient. In the manual in 
section 2.13.6  you said that the linear drag coefficient have units of 
ms-1, and the quadratic is dimensionless, which is what I expected, but 
then in 3.7.4 you said that the units are s-1, and m-1 respectively, at 
the beginning I thought it was a typo, but in PARMS.h you say again that 
the units for the linear coeff are s-1 and the quadratic coefficient are 
m-1.

Could you clear this for me?

Thanks,

Sergio Jaramillo
