This PR adds the ability to 'taper' the mixed layer and boundary layer depths in the MLE scheme. This is controlled by two new parameters:$H$ , is replaced by
MLE_TAPER_FN_DEPTHandMLE_TAPER_FN_POWER. When both new parameters are positive, the depth that the MLE scheme sees, denotedwhere$P$ is $H_0$ is $H=$ $H\gg H_0$ this effectively turns off the MLE restratification scheme, both by reducing the amplitude of the overturning (which scales with $H$ ) and by reducing the depth $H$ over which the parameterization is applied.
MLE_TAPER_FN_POWERandMLE_TAPER_FN_DEPTH. In the OM4 MLE scheme this is applied toMLD_fast. In the Bodner MLE scheme this is applied to bothbig_Handlittle_h. For very deep mixed layersNote that this function does not directly modify any state variables, nor does it directly change the mixed layer depth. It only changes what the MLE scheme thinks is the mixed layer depth.
