Wind-Driven Upwelling/Downwelling over a Periodic Channel Test Case

The upwelling/downwelling example was contributed by Anthony Macks and Jason Middleton (Macks, 1993) and consists of a periodic channel with shelves on each side. There is along-channel wind forcing and the Coriolis term leads to upwelling on one side and downwelling on the other side. If you run it for several days without vertical mixing, you end up with dense water over light water.
