Is there a way to increase viscosity during convective adjustment,
in the same way that ivdc_kappa increases diffusivity?

That is is there a scheme that includes the following parameters from KPP
c     difmcon = viscosity due to convective instability             (m^2/s)
c     difscon = tracer diffusivity ..                               (m^2/s)
but without all the other baggage?

Thanks, Dimitris
