Description

Description

In trunk and in 3.6_STABLE, in the dmp routine (tradmp, dyndmp (C1D) and trcdmp (TOP)), the threshold to decide if we are in the turbocline or not, is hard coded (5.e-4_wp).

avt(ji,jj,jk) <= 5.e-4_wp

Analysis

Recommendation

Replace the 5.e-4_wp by avt_c. avt_c is set to 5.e-4_wp in zdfmxl.

avt(ji,jj,jk) <= avt_c

or replace the test by a test on depth as it is done for the mixed layer:

gdept_n(ji,jj,jk) >= hmld (ji,jj)

fix #1685 (replace 5.e-4_wp by avt_c in dmp routine as it is computed in zdfmxl + apply test on avt instead on avs in trcdmp)
