Public variables and constants
real, dimension(:,:), pointer	meke => NULL()
	Vertically averaged eddy kinetic energy [m2 s-2].

real, dimension(:,:), pointer	gm_src => NULL()
	MEKE source due to thickness mixing (GM) [W m-2].

real, dimension(:,:), pointer	mom_src => NULL()
	MEKE source from lateral friction in the momentum equations [W m-2].

real, dimension(:,:), pointer	gme_snk => NULL()
	MEKE sink from GME backscatter in the momentum equations [W m-2].

real, dimension(:,:), pointer	kh => NULL()
	The MEKE-derived lateral mixing coefficient [m2 s-1].

real, dimension(:,:), pointer	kh_diff => NULL()
	Uses the non-MEKE-derived thickness diffusion coefficient to diffuse.

real, dimension(:,:), pointer	rd_dx_h => NULL()
	The deformation radius compared with the grid spacing [nondim].

real, dimension(:,:), pointer	ku => NULL()
	The MEKE-derived lateral viscosity coefficient [m2 T-1 ~> m2 s-1]. This viscosity can be negative when representing backscatter from unresolved eddies (see Jansen and Held, 2014).

	The MEKE-derived lateral biharmonic viscosity coefficient [m4 T-1 ~> m4 s-1].

real	khth_fac = 1.0
	Multiplier to map Kh(MEKE) to KhTh [nondim].

real	khtr_fac = 1.0
	Multiplier to map Kh(MEKE) to KhTr [nondim].

real	backscatter_ro_pow = 0.0
	Power in Rossby number function for backscatter.

real	backscatter_ro_c = 0.0
