Use `DIABATIC_FIRST = False` #137

Open dougiesquire opened 5 months ago

dougiesquire commented 5 months ago

Our configurations currently use the non-default MOM6 parameter DIABATIC_FIRST = True which means we:

apply diabatic and thermodynamic processes, including buoyancy forcing and mass gain or loss, before stepping the dynamics forward.

We have agreed to change this to the default.

Before changing this for all configs it might be a good idea to check that outputs aren't changed substantially (whatever that means) by changing this.

We have no choice but to use DIABATIC_FIRST = False, since we want to use a longer tracer timestep, so there's probably no point testing this.
