Dear Jonathan,

I simply overread this point when I summed up the discussion. So, it's me who
has to apologize for the caused confusion.

It should have been
> ocean_vertical_momentum_diffusivity
> ocean_vertical_tracer_diffusivity
and
ocean_vertical_tracer_diffusivity_due_to_wind_mixing

Best wiches,
Martina
