MOM_CVMix_KPP.F90 has subroutines KPP_NonLocalTransport_temp and KPP_NonLocalTransport_saln that compute and (conditionally) apply the nonlocal transport term of KPP to temperature and salinity respectively. There does not appear to be any analogue for passive tracers, for which the nonlocal term is proportional to the tracer surface flux.

We're working on a PR that computes and (conditionally) applies this term for passive tracers. We plan to submit the PR to the dev/ncar branch at https://github.com/NCAR/MOM6.

I believe that code that addresses this issue has now been merged into the main branch of MOM6, as one of the contributions from #1571, and that this issue can now be closed.
