Description

I was looking at a c12 MOM6 run today and I saw a couple warnings.

SAL_SCALAR_VALUE

The first warning is:

WARNING from PE     0: The runtime parameter SAL_SCALAR_VALUE is being set via its soon to be obsolete name of TIDE_SAL_SCALAR_VALUE.  Please migrate to using SAL_SCALAR_VALUE.

The variable TIDE_SAL_SCALAR_VALUE seems to appear in the 72x36 and 540x458 files. I suppose we could just rename?

SIMPLE_TKE_TO_KD

WARNING from PE     0: set_diffusivity_init: SIMPLE_TKE_TO_KD can not be used reliably with USE_REGRIDDING.

This one seems a bit more interesting. From the MOM_parameter_doc.all:

SIMPLE_TKE_TO_KD = True         !   [Boolean] default = False
                                ! If true, uses a simple estimate of Kd/TKE that will work for arbitrary
                                ! vertical coordinates. If false, calculates Kd/TKE and bounds based on exact
                                ! energetics for an isopycnal layer-formulation.

Yeah...this is at @sinakhani level to look at :)
