ocean_slopes_config_t Derived Type

type, private :: ocean_slopes_config_t

&ocean_slopes_nml: isopycnal (neutral) slope diagnostics (Griffies 1998) at C-grid interfaces. Foundational gate for GM/Redi/VarMix. Default off ⇒ no-op.

Components

Type Visibility Attributes Name Initial
logical, public :: enable = .false.

Master switch. Default off ⇒ ocean_slopes_compute no-ops.
real(kind=wp), public :: kd_smooth = 1.0e-6_wp

Vert-fill smoothing diffusivity, m^2/s (× dt fills massless layers before the gradients are formed).
real(kind=wp), public :: min_dz_for_n2 = 1.0_wp

Minimum layer thickness, m, floored in the N² / drdz denominator so vanished layers don’t spike the slope.
