Is this something new to FESOM 2.5 or 2.6 or was it always in 2.0 and 2.1?

Does the parameters defined below still hold?

Good point! K_hor should go into namelist.tra/oce_dyn, K_gm_max is fine I think, and K_gm is not needed anymore apparently. But I am unsure about the K_gm_max setting for linfs. Is it 3000 then?

Maybe @JanStreffing or @koldunovn can comment on that?

Default GM value differs between FESOM2 core2 standalone (2000) and FESOM2 core2 in AWI-CM3 (3000). The retuning from 3000 to 2000 was found to be beneficial for the standalone model while Nikolay worked on the 2.1. release. I tested both for AWI-CM3.1 and found 3000 produced lower biases.

This holds true till at least FESOM 2.5. I am not aware that the parameter is not used anymore..

Thanks @JanStreffing ! You are talking about K_gm_max? Scanning through the code, I could not find a parameter K_gm. So my question would be, if K_gm actually is K_gm_max.

Right, sorry!
k_gm_max = 3000
