*New OBLdepth calculation based on POP approach. Ans changes*
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Modifications to the OBLdepth calculation based now on what
is done by POP.  New results found to be insensitive to the
"correction" step, since the first pass now properly accounts
for the thickness of the surface layer.  This new approach
changes answers, but not by much.  New algorithm is
faster (since no need to perform the correction step) and
easier to understand.

Buoyancy frequency and bulk Richardson number should be computed outside of KPP module. Certainly this is calculated elsewhere in the model. Why would we do it with different code here?
