description="Redi diagonal terms (2 and 3) are turned off from layer 1 through config_Redi_min_layers_diag_terms-1, and on from config_Redi_min_layers_diag_terms to nVertLevels. The Redi diagonal terms are not guaranteed to produce bounded tracer fields, and in practice produce growing temperatures in a few columns with fewer than 5 vertical cells. Redi is meant for isopycnal mixing in the deep ocean, so not applying Redi diagonal terms in very shallow regions is an acceptable solution."
possible_values="any integer between 0 (all layers on) and nVertLevels (all layers off)"
