Include Rubey's (1933) equation to estimate sinking speed of particles (#72)
- this formulation uses excess density of particles, their radius and the dynamic viscosity of seawater to compute the sinking speed. - dynamic viscosity of seawater can be constant or a function of T, S and pressure (using do_viscous_sinking namelist param). - Organic C, CaCO3 and biogenic silica contribute to particle mass and therefore excess density - Previous empirical equation for sinking speed of detritus removed.
