[MITgcm-support] Making a package....

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Jody,

It would be great if, after you add this new pkg, we could test it 
in one verification experiment, the simplest would be in one that already
exist, as an addition test. Does not matter which one it is, and if 
you think internal_wave/ could work, we should go for this one (and
forget about vermix).

Regarding pkg/diagnostics interface, there are some pieces of code in 
pkg/pp81 (and more in pkg/mypackage with specal processing for
state variables). And will be happy to help if you have any question
regarding this point.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel

I'd need some help in figuring out how to add turbulence diagnostics.  I do use pp81_output.F right now to output snapshots and time averages of Krho and Epsilon, but would be amenable to doing it "properly".

So I was thinking that the internal wave verification might be more appropriate (though I'd argue its obcs_calc.F kludge for the incoming internal wave is no longer a best-practice.)

But that limits other people from learning about it and using it.  It should be relatively straight forward to modify all instances of pp81 to add hooks into a kl10 package.  Is there a "right" way to go about this?
