    2928In this section we briefly discuss the various choices offered to compute  
     
    8483large scale ocean structures. The hypothesis of a mixing mainly maintained by the  
    8584growth of Kelvin-Helmholtz like instabilities leads to a dependency between the  
    86 vertical turbulence eddy coefficients and the local Richardson number ($i.e.$ the  
     85vertical eddy coefficients and the local Richardson number ($i.e.$ the  
    8786ratio of stratification to vertical shear). Following \citet{PacPhil1981}, the following  
    8887formulation has been implemented: 
     
    114113The vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivity coefficients are computed from a TKE  
    115114turbulent closure model based on a prognostic equation for $\bar {e}$, the turbulent  
    116 kinetic energy, and a closure assumption for the turbulence length scales. This  
     115kinetic energy, and a closure assumption for the turbulent length scales. This  
    117116turbulent closure model has been developed by \citet{Bougeault1989} in the  
    118117atmospheric case, adapted by \citet{Gaspar1990} for the oceanic case, and  
     
    156155The choice of $P_{rt} $ is controlled by the \np{npdl} namelist parameter.

    357357In this case, the vertical eddy mixing coefficients are assigned very large values
