Plan for Neptune parameterization (Holloway, 1992)

Hello there,

I am wondering whether MOM6 will be implemented with Greg Holloway's (1992) Neptune parameterization (Representing Topographic Stress for Large-Scale Ocean Models), which drives a flow toward a maximum-entropy or a minimum-enstrophy state of geostrophic turbulence, prescribed previously using a barotropic geostrophic streamfunction and realized thru some Laplacian or biharmonic restoring forcing? I only saw this sort of parameterization in MOM5, via a 2012 version of documentation Steve Griffies drafted, as well as in the current version of NEMO documentation, but haven't seen it in MOM6.

For your reference, the latest test of a Neptune parameterization in a global model configuration that I am aware of was contributed by Maltrud and Holloway (2008): Redirecting.

Thanks,
Yan
