[MITgcm-support] vertical mixing

[Martin Losch]

Dmitiri, Chantal,

Over a year ago I have implemented a few other schemes (PP81, MY82,  
GGL90, that is Pacanowski+Philander, Mellor+Yamada 2nd order, and  
Gaspar et al 1990's TKE scheme) which might be of interest to you,  
but they are not documented, nor are they thoroughly tested  
(something on my list which keeps growing). I do not recommend any of  
them over KPP which according to my experience is the most robust of  
all availabe schemes (in the MITgcm).

If anyone feels like coupling GOTM (which provides a range of 2- 
equation turbulence closure schemes) to the MITgcm, I would be  
delighted (o:
