Description
Added the Red Tide Ecosystem Model for Alexandrium fundyense. It can be activated with CPP option REDTIDE. This model is primarily designed for the Gulf of Maine.
As code it, the user needs to provide the bottom cyst concentration (cyst_bottom; cell/m2; 2D array) and the observed dissolved inorganic nutrient (DIN; micromoles; 3D array). The cyst_bottom and DIN fields can be provided in a separated forcing NetCDF file. See varinfo.dat for the metadata for these input variables.
Many thanks to Dennis McGillicudy and Ruoying He for providing us their code. This model was rewritten from scratch.
Also, many thanks to Sasha Shchepetkin for providing us his updated semi-Lagrangian code sinking and ascending used for vertical swimming.
