[MITgcm-support] Bottom Pressure nonhydrostatic

In grepping the code (DYNVARS.h specifically) it looks like PHL is the 
bottom hydrostatic pressure. Two question about this..

1) Does this include surface contribution  (as specified for totPhiHyd 
in DYNVARS.h)
2) In a nonhydrostatic simulation would I obtain bottom pressure as
PHL + PNH(bottom)?
Or do I need to use
PH(bottom) + PNH(bottom)?

Thanks,

David
