This will add a halo to the northern and southern edges of the
domain, so that they may cross over during advection without
being marked out of bounds. If a particle ends up within the
halo after advection, it is reset to the valid portion of the
domain.
If the domain has already been marked as meridionally periodic,
nothing happens.
Due to the method of resetting particles that end up in the
halo, this is incompatible with curvilinear grids.
Args:
width (Optional[int]): The width of the halo,
defaults to 5 (per parcels). This needs to be less
than half the number of points in the grid in the y
direction. This may need to be adjusted for small
domains, or if particles are still escaping the halo.
Note:
This causes the kernel to be recompiled to add another stage
which resets particles that end up in the halo to the main
domain.
If the kernel has already been recompiled for zonal periodicity,
it is again reset to include periodicity in both
directions.
