[MITgcm-support] Restoring/relaxing nutrients

Hi,

I'm using the Darwin package and running the model with additional nutrient
fluxes which I've created. I've found PO4 accumulating in a specific region
of the ocean and would like to resolve this by systematically restoring PO4
in the surface layer, which I believe can be done by defining RELAX_NUTS
(?) So far, I have defined RELAX_NUTS in DARWIN_OPTIONS, and have created a
3D darwin_PO4_relaxFile which I've read into data.darwin. However, I don't
know what the restoring time scale unit is for darwin_relaxscale, could
someone shed some light on this for me please?

Many thanks,

Sarah
