[MITgcm-support] Ricr and MLDs

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Hi David, there is no need to change the code.  Ricr is a parameter that can be 
changed in the runtime file called "data.kpp".  For example, add

  Ricr            = 0.3

in the &KPP_PARM01 namelist.  Also note that the value in the runtime file 
data.kpp will overwrite the default value in the code.  So maybe that is why you 
did not see a change in your test experiments.
