[MITgcm-support] The criteria of cg3dMaxIters

[Saeid Esmaeilpour]

Thanks again Jody,
It was really helpful, for the last question about this issue, Do I need
nonHydrostatic=.True. for the simulation of Eddies? Isn't that a fine-scale
phenomena? will MIT show up  Eddies at 2-degree resolution?

Thanks,
   Saeid
