[MITgcm-support] Revisiting Online PV Diagnostics

[Jacob Wenegrat]

Hi All,

I see reference a time or two in the mailing list archive to people 
either interested in online PV diagnostics, or playing around with 
implementing online PV diagnostics, and I wonder if anyone ever made any 
further progress on those topics?

In particular I am interested in closing a volume integrated PV budget 
in flux form. This seems to work reasonably well offline in a 2D 
configuration, but fails at the onset of baroclinic instability in 3D runs.

I'm tending towards thinking that an online computation is the best 
possible approach, but would welcome any advice, suggestions, warnings, 
etc. from those more experienced with these issues.

Cheers,
Jacob
