[MITgcm-support] ocean vertical velocity (w) positive up or down?

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Jonny,

To be more precise, the vertical velocity is positive
in the same direction as the vertical coordinate increases:
  z coordinate: positive upward
  p coordinate: positive downward

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
