[MITgcm-support] question about convection in nonhydrostatic and hydrostatic

[Ping Zhai]

Hi,
I am confused about the convection parameterization in a nonhydrostatic 
model.
I know that in the hydrostatic option, the convection can be 
parameterized by setting ivdc_kappa=1000 (or other value) when the 
stratification is unstable.
Do I need to set ivdc_kappa in nonhydrostatic option? Does nohydrostatic 
model resolve the convection so that we don't need to parameterize 
convection as in hydrostatic model? If I set ivdc_kappa=1000 in a 
nonhydrostatic model, does it conflict with the model?
Best,
Ping
