[MITgcm-support] gravity variation with height

[Angela Zalucha]

Hi,

I would like to make gravity vary with height, i.e. gravity -> GM/r(k)^2. 
I am using r* coordinates for the atmosphere (i.e. p* coordinates).  Is it 
as simple as replacing gravity with GM/r(k)^2 in the model (and similarly 
with recip_gravity)?

Thanks,
   Angela
