ocean_conv_config_t Derived Type

type, public :: ocean_conv_config_t

Brunt-Vaisala-triggered convective adjustment (&ocean_conv_nml, CVMix_conv-style). Where the interior N^2 < n2_thresh (dense-over-light), raises kt -> max(kt, kd_conv) and kv -> max(kv, prandtl_conv*kd_conv), strictly below the active surface boundary layer (KPP/EPBL own that). An INTERIOR closure CONTRIBUTOR – it does not clip/floor on its own; it feeds vmix_assemble. enable = .false. keeps the existing path bit-identical. Knob table: docs/generated_nml_knobs.md.
