namelist has two parameters for T&S damping: ln_tsd_tradmp and ln_tradmp.
namelist
ln_tsd_tradmp = .false. ! damping of ocean T & S toward T &S input data (T) or not (F)
ln_tradmp = .true. ! add a damping termn (T) or not (F)
It's not clear to me the difference of the two parameters.
ln_tsd_tradmp and ln_tradmp
Run1: T & F --> Ran
Run2: T & T --> Ran
Run3: F & T --> ln_tsd_tradmp was force set to T (see notes below) --> Ran aborted due to exceeding zonal current.. skipping.
Run4: T & F but with a restoring time scale of 1 day (this is done to compare the results with Run1 to see if damping was done or not) -->

Run1 and Run2 produced different output, hinting that ln_tradmp needs to be T to activate damping.
Run1 and Run4 are produced the identical output, confirming that ln_tradmp needs to be T to activate damping.
Hence, to activate damping, ln_tradmp needs to be .true. while ln_tsd_tradmp can be .false. (because it will be force set to .true. if ln_tradmp is .true.).
