[mesa-users] Baroclinic Instability

I'm interested in the physics and effects of the baroclinic
instability in stars. I don't see that the two Paxton et al.
manuals mention it explicitly and have looked at the Heger,
Langer & Woosely paper where so many instabilities
incorporated in MESA are discussed, and don't see any
specific recipe for the BCI.

Can someone tell me where I can go to understand in
more detail where and how BCI is incorporated in MESA?

Thanks,

Craig
