Start by comparing this case with run 170 (#98), using the listed case directory, CESM sandbox, and user_nl_mom settings. Review the available diagnostics and raw output, then determine whether replacing KPP with ePBL changes ENSO behavior while salinity restoration remains limited to the Lab Sea. Done means an evaluation of those results, rather than a single code edit.

Purpose:
Evaluate how replacing KPP with ePBL affects ENSO. Salinity restoration is applied only in the Lab Sea.

Description:

Clone of run 170 (#98), but replacing KPP with ePBL (GFDL scheme)
