[MITgcm-support] horizontal viscosity in variable grid size

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Hezi,

I am not the expert on Smagorinsky but if your question is whether Smagorinsky 
is implemented the answer is yes and Section 2.20
http://mitgcm.org/r2_web_testing/latest/online_documents/node83.html
is an excellent primer.
