o pkg/salt_plume: added various options for salt plume depth
  criterion and for vertical distribution of the salt

6 C-- SALT_PLUME parameters
7 C Find surface where the potential density (ref.lev=surface) is
8 C larger than surface density plus SaltPlumeCriterion.
9
10 C CriterionType: 1=delta_rho, 2=drhodz, default is 1
11 C Plume_Method: method of distributing salt plume vertically
12 C 1=uniform, 2=exp, 3=overshoot, 4=power, 5=dump_at_top, 6=reverse of 4
13 C default is 1
14 C Npower: choices of distributing salt uniformly (0), linear (1),
15 C or higher power (Npower>1); default is 0
16 INTEGER CriterionType, PlumeMethod, Npower
17 COMMON /SALT_PLUME_PARAMS_I/ CriterionType, PlumeMethod, Npower

19 C SaltPlumeCriterion
20 C for CriterionType=1, default is 0.4 kg/m^3 of Duffy et al 1999
21 C for CriterionType=2, default is 0.005 kg/m^3/m
22 C SPovershoot: overshooting depth of penetrating salt plume,
23 C so that 1.0 = no-overshoot, 1.2 = 20% overshoot.
24 C default is 1.0

28 C-- SALT_PLUME 2-dim. fields
29 C SaltPlumeDepth :: depth of penetration of salt plumes
30 C rejected during sea ice growth
31 C saltPlumeFlux :: Net downward salt flux in psu.kg/m^2/s
32 C Note: a) only used when salty sea-ice forms.
33 C b) units: when salinity (unit= psu) is expressed
34 C in g/kg, saltPlumeFlux unit becomes g/m^2/s.
35 C > 0 for increasing in SSS.
36 C Southwest C-grid tracer point
