* Linear wave drag is limited to be only applied to land points, using velocity point masks mask2dC[uv]. * Rayleigh_[uv] calculation and bt_rem_[uv] update from linear wave drag is limited for Htot>0 only. This patch eliminates potential NaN in Rayleigh_[uv] in an unusual scenario that Htot==0.0 and lin_drag_[uv]/=0. The changes do not change answers: bt_rem_[uv] is zero at land points regardless. Rayleigh_[uv] is added to [uv]_accel_bt which is masked before updating velocity.
In MOM_barotropic and non-Boussinesq mode, warning message on negative eta is now only issued at wet points, consistently with Boussinesq.
In MOM_dynamics_split_RK2, now accleration chksum is printed before velocity with debug on, so that we could know which accleration term is responsible for a NaN in velocity.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
These proposed changes are now well explained and make sense to me.
