[MITgcm-support] unit of specific humidity

[Yuan Lian]

Hi, Matt,

Thanks. I guess I am still a little confused. In MITgcm manual, when 
sRef is defined as specific humidity, it has unit of g/kg (section 3.6.2 
of beta version). Other than this I couldn't find any more information 
about the unit. The variable "salt" is used as salinity(ocean) or 
specific humidity (atmosphere), do you know if someone used "salt" as 
specific humidity before? Thanks again!
