[ncl-talk] Mixed Layer Depth

[Dennis Shea]

Unfortunately, this function has incomplete documentation. This function
should likely be named 'mixed_layer_depth_PopModel' or some such thing. It
is *not* a general purpose code.
Rather, I think it is a function used by the CESM ocean post-processing
code.
