[MITgcm-support] how to compute water flow through ocean sections with gmredi / kpp ?

Dear all,

I want to compute water fluxes through given sections in the ocean. For a latitudinal profile for instance, I compute the zonal flow at a given depth as follows:
F = nansum(uEz(profile1).*(dz.*hfacWz(profile1)).*dyg(profile1))/1E6; 		% (Sv, positive eastward)
with
- profile1: the section made of several grid points; 
- uEz = UVELMASS at the depth of interest rotated using 'rotate_uv2uvEN' (I use the CS grid).

Since I use GMRedi and KPP, I think that I should include some additional terms, but I don't know how to do that. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks,
Alexandre
