Tentative to-do list
Do you mind if I commit to this PR?

A few results. I added biharmonic dissipation and removed the Laplacian diffusion, which wasn't having any effect (dissipation was dominated by WENO I guess). With a coefficient Δx^4 / 15days
, we get smooth solutions after 1 year of simulation:
Constrast this with
a bit noisier.
With a biharmonic coefficient Δx^4 / 10days
we suppress the growth rate of the baroclinic instability, so that after a year we are just about to go unstable:
Ok, I've also implemented an initial buoyancy distribution that matches the relaxation profile. Here's what we get after a year with Δx^4 / 20days
The simulations also complete faster because we don't get large vertical velocities early on, perhaps because the initial turbulent motions are a bit larger scale?
Note: we'll have to implement some tracer forcing if we want it to be useful for this equilibrated case. Something for the future.
This PR adds idealized mesoscale resolving zonally re-entrant channels to the library. The first stage is to define a function whose input is a few control parameters and whose output can be used for informing parameterization development. There are two main classes of simulations being added: flat bottom and hilly
