Experiment 13: 

    Source T: +6 oC 
    Source S:  +0.5 ppt 
    Cross-flow: 5 cm/s 
    Source flux: 5 MW 
    Source area: 15 m x 15 m 
    Tand S profiles: Endeavour near-linear 
    Horizontal Mixing:
           Smagorinky with background constant of 10 cm2/s, 
    Vertical Mixing
            25 cm2/s at seafloor declining to 1 cm2/s above, but
           applied to momentum only
