KPPg_SLT = KPP_ghatK * surForcS

but the units don't work here. My first thought is that to compare the
units, you would take

KPPg_SLT --> KPPg_SLT / (rhoNil * dx * dy)

but this may be an incorrect assumption. Hoping someone may be able to shed
some light on this issue.

I also am unable to find where this diagnostic is filled (!) as this is not
in kpp_output.F nor does some greping show it to be in pkg/kpp or even
pkg/* so I may be missing how it is filled.
