Hi Christopher,

I remember adding this piece of code for Max (for this type of set-up: 
 http://mitgcm.org/2009/07/31/tidal-mixing-over-rough-topography/ )
but I don't know if anyone else try it. 
I would need to check exactly what it's doing, but remember that
there was some limitations (steps of higher than 1 level ? and
similar thing regarding lateral ground position ?) that were not 
an issue in Max set-up.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
