*Cancel out Z_to_H factors in MOM_hor_visc.F90#417
Merged
Conversation
Cancelled out factors of GV%Z_to_H in MOM_hor_visc.F90 to simplify the code and reduce the dependence on the value of GV%Rho_0 in non-Boussinesq mode. This involved changing the units of 3 internal variables in horizontal_viscosity and one element in the hor_visc_CS type to use thickness units or their inverse. Because GV%Z_to_H is an exact power of 2 in Boussinesq mode, all answers are bitwise identical in that mode, but in non-Boussinesq mode this conversion involves multiplication and division by GV%Rho_0, so while all answers are mathematically equivalent, this change does change answers at roundoff in non-Boussinesq mode.
