!!
!! This experiment consists of a shelf accumulating dense water, which spills
!! over an upward slope and a sill, before flowing down a slope into an open
!! ocean region. It's intended as a test of one of the motivating situations
!! for the adaptive coordinate.
!!
!! The nondimensional widths of the 5 regions are controlled by the
!! <code>DENSE_WATER_DOMAIN_PARAMS</code>, and the heights of the sill and shelf
!! as a fraction of the total domain depth are controlled by
!! <code>DENSE_WATER_SILL_HEIGHT</code> and <code>DENSE_WATER_SHELF_HEIGHT</code>.
!!
!! The density in the domain is governed by a linear equation of state, and
!! is set up with a mixed layer of non-dimensional depth <code>DENSE_WATER_MLD</code>
!! below which there is a linear stratification from <code>S_REF</code>, increasing
!! by <code>S_RANGE</code> to the bottom.
!!
!! To force the experiment, there are sponges on the inflow and outflow of the
!! domain. The inflow sponge has a salinity anomaly of
!! <code>DENSE_WATER_EAST_SPONGE_SALT</code> through the entire depth. The outflow
!! sponge simply restores to the initial condition. Both sponges have controllable
!! widths and restoring timescales.
