    Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
    ==============================

o allow (vecinv only) a different horiz. viscosity for Divergence and Vorticity; 
  affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)

checkpoint55i_post
o change arrays for total vertical diffusivity (2.D if explicit,
  3.D if implicit) ; each ptracer uses its own background value.
o added mnc/NetCDF output capability to ocn_compon_interf
  - added bits to verification/cpl_aim+ocn so that it can run on 
    ITRDA and other clusters without the mpirun "-wd" option
o fixed wayward endif in mom_fluxform.F that messed up cyclindrical
  configuration 
o give MNC the ability to create additional files rather than 
  exceeding a specified file size limit "MNC_MAX_FILESIZE" 
  - the default is just less than 2GB which is a practical limit 
    on many systems
o Compute the non-local term using either KPP vertical diffusivity (=default) 
   or the total vertical diffusivity (when KPP_ghatUseTotalDiffus=T)

checkpoint55h_post
o add verification test "vermix"
o remove all the *_ioinc flags and replace with the single global
  outputTypesInclusive flag
o allow to set a vertical profile of vertical diffusivity for T & S
o call PACKAGE_BOOT & PACKAGES_READPARMS just after INI_PARMS
o useMNC moved from data.mnc to data.pkg

checkpoint55g_post
o Renaming carbon AD experiments to comply with testreport conventions
o Updating adjoint of Held-Suarez hs94.1x64x5
o Fixing directives for non-ECCO forward_step, after ECCO directives
  have been fixed to avoid recomp. of do_oceanic_phys
  Works well for global_ocean.90x40x15,
  but recomp. issue remains for carbon
o Updating adjoint output for natl_box_adjoint after 
  pkg/ecco has been modified (see taga c55d_post)

checkpoint55f_post
o rename to timeave_init_fixed

checkpoint55e_post
o some delicate re-shuffle of store directives to avoid one
  extra call of do_oceanic_physics
  affects ecco_the_main_loop.F, do_oceanic_physics.F
  checkpoint_lev1_directives.h
o NB: this may break global_ocean adjoint temporarily,
  but it is clear how to fix it. Will do later, need this now.

checkpoint55d_post
o ECCO specific cost function terms (up-to-date with 1x1 runs)
o ecco_cost_weights is modified to 1x1 runs
o modifs to allow observations to be read in as
  single file or yearly files
o enable to read exf forcing fields as either
  single file or yearly files (flag useExfYearlyFields)
checkpoint55d_pre

o switch between 2-level and 3-level checkpointing
o add ability of MNC to write local and "partial" (eg. 2D slices where 
  the full 3D field is never actually stored) arrays to NetCDF files
  with the correct (that is, the complete multi-dimensional) set of 
  array indicies
  - used in mom_vecinv() to write the diagFreq output
  - tested (demonstrated) in verification/aim.5l_cs
o further mnc-ification
  - add verification/lab_sea to the list with mnc setups
  - fix undefined mnc v-names in cd_code
  - add kpp to mnc output (both snapshot and timeave)
o non-hydrostatic code
  - added horizontal viscosity parameter viscAhW for w, that replaces viscAh
    in calc_gw.F
  - defaults to viscAh
  - this is useful, when I want to use viscAh=0 (e.g., only biharmonic
    friction or Leith) in non-hydrostatic mode, as long as there is 
    no biharmonic friction and/or Leigth or equivalent for vertical velocity.
o pkg/cost
  extend simple cost functions to treat time mean quantities
  (T,U,V) via cost_accumulate_state from cost_tile
o multidimAdvection on CS-grid: implement the full 3 pass ; overlap needs to
    be 2 times larger than the minimum size the advection scheme requires.
    now get a perfect conservation of salt in advect_cs test-exp (updated)
o GGL90 (Gaspar's TKE mixed layer)
  - add horizontal diffusion of TKE, requires exchanges in 
    do_fields_blocking_exchanges, horizontal diffusivity is zero by 
    default. In OPA there is no horizontal diffusion of TKE but the 
    mixing coefficients are computed from a horizontal average of TKE of
    6 points or so. I think that diffusion has a little more physical
    justification.
  - clean up ggl90_calc in the hope of reducing memory usage (this hope 
    was in vain)
  - mask tke-variable in ggl90_init
o fix mask Pb in multidimAdvection on CS-grid (still a small Pb with ipass)
o fix biharmonic diffusion on CS-grid.
o more obcs stuff
  - added obcs_external_fields_load as an alternative to the EXF-pkg option
    for reading boundary values. This routine is called from 
    obcs_prescribe_read
  - updated obcs_check
  - changed sponge layer relaxation parameter units for days to seconds
  - turned off sponge layer by default
  - changed argument list of OBCS_CALC to myTime+deltaTclock
  - fixed about 35 bugs in obcs_external_fields_load

checkpoint55c_post
o obcs stuff
  - new runtime flags useOBCSprescribe, useOBCSbalance
  - re-arranged obcs_calc
  - moved exf_getobcs to obcs_prescibe_read
    obcs_prescibe_read is called after ORLANSKI stuff
    and independent of it (executable can contain all).
  - updated obcs_check
  - added exchanges for U,V,gU,gV for useOBCSprescribe=.TRUE.
    These may be necessary only if tangential velocities are
    prescribed at OB, not sure, needs testing.
o make the MNC_CW_ADD_VATTR_* subroutines all take scalar arguments
  which simplifies the calls and passes the ifc check-bounds test

checkpoint55b_post
o add a 2D scalar, Z location, exchange_2 routine.
o EXCH_UV for CS-grid: add one u,v in the corner-halo region, allows
  to compute vorticity on a wider stencil [e.g., vort3(0,1)&(1,0)]
  affects advect_cs results (for the wrong reason): update output.txt
o use a more standard discretization for biharmonic viscosity ; 
 (original version still available with #define MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 )
  affects results of dome set-up: update output.txt 
o fix gad_advection.F (CubedSphere part), back to version 1.23
o fix bug in mom_vi_del2uv.F (CubedSphere part).

checkpoint55a_post
o merged code to 
  * prescribe/read time-dependent open boundaries
    (works in conjunction with exf, cal)
  * sponge layer code for open boundaries
  * each boundary N/S/E/W now has its own CPP option
    (healthy for the adjoint)

checkpoint55
o up-to-date adjoint of previous breaks
  - natl_box_adjoint: problem for exp 12, 13: cost = 0. needs fix
  - global_ocean_ebm: adjoint still needs fix (TLM ok)
  - global_ocean.90x40x15: extended GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
  - carbon: * remove tr1-related adjoint verification
            * add ptracer as control variable
o remove all tr1-related code (ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER)
  (adjoint stuff still has some tr1 'names', but all use ptracer arrays)

checkpoint54f_post
o in verification/carbin/ remove experiment related to
  ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER (array tr1 etc)
  code_ad/ input_ad/ results_ad

o add two new packages
  - ggl90, TKE-model of Gaspar et al. (1990), Blanke+Delecluse (1993)
    + subject to optimization (memory)
  - opps, OPPS (ocean penetrative plume scheme) of Paluszkiewicz+Romea (1997)
    + subject to reordering (many GOTOs in the original code)
    + so far opps is called for every (i,j) point, and then operates in
      the vertical; one may want to reorder the scheme in order operate in
      horizontal slabs at the cost of (a lot of) memory, at least ten new 3D 
      fields)
o overhaul of IO so that we now have flags for MDSIO and/or MNC
  - all verification tests compile and run with linux_ia32_g77
  - defaults are compatible with current input files--nothing 
    should change if you were not previously using MNC
  - MNC output has been added in numerous places (eg. timeave)
    but there are still a few writes not yet do-able with MNC
    (this is in progress)
  - flags now allow for either/or/both use of MDSIO and MNC and 
    documentation will soon follow
  - numerous small formatting cleanups for ProTeX
o add version info (via BUILD_INFO.h) to MNC and stdout

checkpoint54e_post
o add two new packages
  - pp81 (Packanowski and Philander, 1981), Richardson number and 
    stratification dependent mixing
  - my82 (Mellor and Yamada, 1982) level 2 turbulence closure scheme
  - these scheme operate in a similar manner as KPP (without ghat, of 
    course), however there is only one diffusivity that is used for both
    temperature and salinity (and passive tracers)ç
o add offline package
o add "verification/dic_example" which contains a dic-gchem-ptracer setup
  provided by Stephanie Dutkiewicz
o genmake2: add ability to search for C compilers and cleanup test output
  - fixes recent SX-6 problems and should help with others (eg. HP-UX)

checkpoint54d_post
o data.diagnostics: if levels() is unspecified then ALL levels are diagnosed
o bug fix in pkg/cal/cal_addtime.F for TheCalendar='model' day count is wrong, 
  leading to additional shift by 5 days each year of integration
   (i.e. leading to considerable offset over the years)
o update global_ocean.cs32x15/thsice: use z* + RealFW + staggerTimeStep
o start with no AB and no initial filtering (staggerTimeStep):
  change the results of test-exp: hs94.128x64x5, hs94.1x64x5 & hs94.cs-32x32x5
o move ocean specific S/R calls from forward_step.F to do_oceanic_phys.F
  (external loading & cpl import/export stay in forward_step.F)
o update coupling interface to work with new staggerTimeStep
o change MDSIO ptracers_pickup.
o fix a bug in Flux deriv. vs Ts (pkg/aim_v23/phy_suflux_sice.F);
o genmake2 fixes so netcdf now works on halem ("osf1_alpha_*")
o bugs fixed in kpp_calc.F (ustarY) and external_forcing.F (Qsw & Partial-cell)

checkpoint54c_post
o replace surfaceTendency U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr by surfaceForcing U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr
  this affects (truncation error) output.txt of test-exp:
   global_ocean_ebm,_pressure,.cs32x15(&.thsice), lab_sea & natl_box
o pkg/kpp: replace pMask by maskC to reduce memory size (one 3.D array)
o change Qnet to always be the net heat flux, (+upward).
  affects (truncation error) output of natl_box exp.: updated
o define the max number of passive tracers in PTRACERS_SIZE.h
o start to test mnc routinely in exp0
o add sea-ice loading (sIceLoad) as a new forcing field.

checkpoint54b_post
o add testreport "-j JOBS" option for parallel builds (tested and pretty 
   impressive on Altix and Opteron systems)
o diagnostics can now write NetCDF files through the mnc package
o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: update pkg aim_v23 & thsice; update aim.5l_cs output
o staggerTimeStep & multi-Dim-Advec: Exch(U,V) added 
o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: rescale T & S surface tendencies.
  affects (truncation error) output of lab_sea & natl_box exp.: updated
o change pickup _cd & _ptracers (old pickup restart: usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)

checkpoint54a_post
o re-write staggerTimeStep: step fwd U,V and then T,S (reverse the order).
o change pickup file (to restart from old pickup, set usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
o get a perfect restart when using RealFreshWaterFlux + NLFS (not finished)
o update output of all exp. that use staggerTimeStep (except hs94.cs & 2D)
  + internal_wave (shift in writing cg2d_ini_res)
checkpoint54a_pre

o require forcing_In_AB=.FALSE. and remove surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice
  - modified verification/lab_sea and natl_box_adjoint accordingly

checkpoint54
checkpoint53g_post
o prepare splitting of thermodynamics: store convect.counter in common block
o store d.etaH/dt (instead of Div.hV) in common ; affects (truncation error)
  output of: global_ocean.cs32x15, global_ocean_pressure & internal_wave
o cnh's modifs to gad_advection.F for cube-sphere multi-dim advection
o new parameter "nShapS": allow to treat differently S from T (nShapT)
o separate Vert.Advec.Scheme from horizontal Advec.Scheme (T & S)
o restore adjointability

checkpoint53f_post
o modifications that affect AIM experiment results (update output.txt):
  - no advection of S at top interface Nr (pkg/generic_advdiff) 
  - air surf. temp: use lower value between T0 & T1 (phy_suflux_prep.F)
o AIM pkg:
  - include stability function into surf.Flux derivative relative to Tsurf
  - calculate clear-sky radiation & surface temp. change (for diagnostics)
 
checkpoint53e_post
o merged cylindrical coord configuration
o added rotating_tank experiment
checkpoint53e_pre

checkpoint53d_post
o faulks upgraded: re-generate output.txt that have changed:
   global_ocean.cs32x15(.thsice), global_ocean_ebm, lab_sea, natl_box
o Added Bryan and Lewis, 1979, vertical diffusivity profile
o pkg/land: fix problem in land_impl_temp.F when Ts arround freezing. 
o added Sadourny discretization of Coriolis
  - moved some PARAMETERS from mom_*_coriolis.F to PARAMS.h
  - re-enabled use of omega3 (useAbsVorticity)
o added Leith (Phys. Fluids, 1968, 10, 1409-1416) variable viscosity for
  vector-invariant equations
  - note: does *NOT* yet use same variable visc. for no-slip BC's.
o recoded the lateral boundary conditions for non-hydrostatic w, this time
  hopefully without new bugs
  - still to do: biharmonic friction for non-hydrostatic w
o bug fix for mom_*_sidedrag: rA -> rAs,rAw
o regenerated output for global_ocean_ebm (using -ieee)
o fix mom_common/mom_*_sidedrag.F to recover numeric output prior to creation
  of mom_common/
  - simple re-arrangement of instructions within computing loop
checkpoint53d_pre

checkpoint53c_post
o new version of coupler for AIM+thSIce and Ocean models
 - new fields (SSS,h_MixLayer ...) are exchanged through the coupler
 - land: change Evaporation of snow
 - aim with thSIce: fix bug in snow-precip.
o changes to calc_gw.F
 - bug fix for w^2 term near the bottom boundary
 - (hopefully) improve the lateral slip boundary condtions for use with
    partial/looped cells
  - because the bug fix changes two verification experiments anyway (exp5
    and plume on slope), change the lateral boundary condition from half slip
    to the value of no_slip_sides
o ebm package wasnt quite up to the parallel task. Fixed that.
o Adjoint of EBM package + verification
  * TLM OK
  * ADM not sufficient accuracy yet (needs further testing)

checkpoint53b_post
o Commiting new energy balance model to repository
  * package is pkg/ebm
  * verif. is verification/global_ocean_ebm
  * references are in ebm_driver.F
C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part I:
C        Sensitivity to atmospheric moisture transport.
C        J. Climate 12(1), 71-82
C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part II:
C        Sensitivity with interactive transport.
C        J. Climate 12(1), 83-91
C      * M. Nakamura, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1994:
C        Destabilization of the thermohaline circulation
C        by atmospheric eddy transports.
C        J. Climate 7(12), 1870-1882
o Will need long integration testing.
checkpoint53b_pre

o created pkg/mom_common in preparation for variable viscosity code
o renamed and split ini_mnc_io
o pkg/land: only liquid water can diffuse or run-off
o AIM using land: soil wetness availability account for snow
o added printMapIncludesZeros to EEPARMS namelist

checkpoint53a_post
o restore TAMC compatiility for exf_constants.h
  (no usage of _d in .h)
o Additional storing in KPP in an attempt to fix
  TAMC problem with adjoint of KPP code.
  (no success...)
  Identical code works fine with TAF.
o Fixed verification/natl_box_adjoint experiments.
  Initial conditions for Experiments 4 and 5 are now
  set to "SEAICE_initialHEFF=0", which is more reasonable,
  and hence gives results closer to that of Experiment 2.
  Experiment 6 requires "SEAICE_initialHEFF=1" and is working once again.

checkpoint53
o stable checkpoint with up to date adjoint
  TLM tests only run for 1st grdchk at the moment. Its unclear if
  this is a code problem or a problem with resetting code for g_
  variables that is being autogenerated wrong.
  Otherwise:
   o code is testing well on Linux (P4 and AMD), SGI Alitix and Irix. 
   o IBM and HPQ tests could not be run because NCAR (IBM) and NCCS (HPQ) 
     are both still in chaos following their security messes.

checkpoint52n_post
o various build (mostly genmake2) changes including:
  - ability to build/run more easily within Cygwin and MacOS X
  - more complicated Makefiles with a stronger dependence on Gnu Make
o pkg/seaice modifications
  - added SEAICE_deltaTtherm and SEAICE_deltaTdyn in order to reduce cost
    of pkg/seaice.  For time being, SEAICE_deltaTtherm = deltaTtracer
    and SEAICE_deltaTdyn must be integer multiple of SEAICE_deltaTtherm
  - changed proxy for geostrophic velocity and updated 
    verification/lab_sea/results/* accordingly
  - removed ADI dynamic solver from pkg/seaice
  - replaced all occurrences of 1/CSTICE or 1/CSUICE
    they caused a segmentation fault under certain circumstances
  - removed unused field WATR
o bug fix in exf-package:
  -  u/vwind are defined at tracer/pressure points. The values of u/vwindmask
     now reflect that.
o small fixes in the cal-package:
  - set reference date to first of January for the 'model'-calendar
  - failing of cal_CheckDate in cal_FullDate now actually results in a
    warning
o small modifications in exf-package to increase flexibility:
  - change climtempfreeze from a constant to a runtime parameter that
    is specified in data.exf_clim (default = -1.9)
  - introduce runtime parameter windstressmax (default = 2.0) that is
    specified in data.exf
o fix in pkg/thsice:
  - update Evap (Tsf changes) to be consistent with Latent heat flux
  - maintain snow precipitation unchanged (even if Tsf >=0).
 both affect global_ocean.cs32x15/(.thsice) results ; update output.txt.thsice

checkpoint52m_post
o commented out call to cal_GetMonthsRec in swfrac.F and added some comments;
  this does not change any of the results, because myIter=0 in swfrac always
  lead to jwtype=2 (the default anyway), but the call makes little sense
  as a default
o no SHORTWAVE HEATING lost at the bottom; affects lab_sea output; updated
o re-work pkg/thsice interface with ocean & bulk_force pkg to allow
  atmospheric model (AIM) to use it ; add a "slab ocean" component.
o pkg/aim_v23 : add interface to call thermodynamic sea-ice (thsice)
o update global_ocean.cs32x15/output (.thsice) after changes in pkg/thsice
o extending useSingleCpuIO option to work with new exch2 I/O format
  - old-style, missing-tile I/O is still accessible by defining CPP
    option MISSING_TILE_IO in pkg/mdsio/MDSIO_OPTIONS.h
o monitor package can write to NetCDF files and/or STDOUT
o fix re-definition bug in MNC_GRID_INIT_ALL()
o doc/api_reference added
  - a framework for building an API Reference Manual using all
    the "protex" comments embedded in the code
  - see pkg/generic_advdiff, pkg/mnc for examples
o MNC:
  - make myThid the last argument for all subroutines
  - new default for the grid files: NO halos
  - add useMNC and other run-time flags
  - separate per-file-group handling of the unlimited dimension
  - early initialization of MNC w/ flags read at the eeboot stage 
    and lookup tables set in initialize_fixed
  - write all MNC output to a freshly-created directory
o thermodynamics sea-ice (thsice) is now tested with testreport.
o test exp. advect_cs: use the standard cs32 grid ; update output.
o Added functionality to grdchk:
  pick global i,j,k position (or nearest wet) where to perform check.

checkpoint52l_post
o new land formulation:
  a) use ground enthalpy as prognostic variable to ensure exact
     energy conservation.
  b) account for water temperature and for latent heat of freezing
     in all processes (rain, run-off, ground storage)
  c) compute surface and ground temperature implicitly.
o aim_v23 modification for new land model:
  a) Treat separately land / ocean / sea-ice surface fluxes
     to allow implicit computation of land & sea-ice surface temp.
  b) add snow precipitation.
checkpoint52l_pre

o fix problem (when 1 tile is empty) in min/max monitor.
o fix bug in timeAve (u,vZetatave in common block) 
o no restoring terms under ice for pkg/seaice
o moved SEAICE_DO_DIAGS to S/R do_the_model_io

o aim.5l_cs: modify sea-ice fraction input file ; update output
o exf: Adding simple range check routine for exf fields after read

checkpoint52k_post
o removed top-level directory "diags"
  - we migrated these functions to pkg/timeave a long time ago
o fixed bug introduced in pkg/monitor
o accuracy ctrlprec = 32 insuffient for gradient checks using
  averaged fields (I/O via cost_averages)
  -> use ctrl.h in active_file*.F to control I/O precision.
o paramter list of CALL ADTHE_MAIN_LOOP
o added initial do_the_model_io to ecco
o set all ...Freq to zero after cost_final
  taveFreq, dumpFreq, pChkptFreq
o MAIN and ECCO differentiability restored

checkpoint52j_post
o fix nchklev in tamc.h for global_ocean...
o Bringing flow and store directives up-to-date
o Really weird thing!
  call do_the_model_io from the_main_loop with parameters
  starttime, niter0, instead of mytime, myiter, screws up the adjoint: 
  TAF places a faulty re-call of initialise_varia
  after cost_final call which should not be there!
checkpoint52j_pre

o tweaked pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F to have more useful logic and
  error messages
o fix errorMessageUnit problem. remove old version of mdsio from eesup/src
o modified pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F -- commented out diskspace-eating
  debug output
o modfied mdsio_writefield.F to handle non-global files under exch2
o update AIM Cubed-Sphere exp (aim.5l_cs):
  use land, p*, and Franco.M forcing fields with fractional land-sea mask.
o update AIM Equatorial Channel exp:
  use standard aim_v23 pkg and change the SST fields to be more realistic.
o globalFile now works with exch2
o merged mom_vi_calc_relvort3.F, mom_vi_del2uv.F and 
  mon_vort3.F to make exch2 friendly with >1 tile per cube face
o limit timeave output for hi-res integrations

checkpoint52i_post
o removed CPP_EEOPTIONS.h from verification/*/code
o updated the tiling for global_ocean_pressure
checkpoint52i_pre

o update aim.5l_LatLon using the standard aim_v23 pkg (instead of 
  the old pkg/aim).

checkpoint52h_pre
o shortened offending lines in exch2_send_rx?.template
o modified W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h to reflect current topology generator
o genmake2: add build & execute test for NetCDF code
o modded aim.5l_cs and global_ocean.cs32x15 to use exch2, removed
  old grid files, moved CPP_EEMACROS.h to pkg/exch2
o added useSingleCPUIO flag to monitor.F and mon_out.F
o added temporary hack for sea-ice dynamics on the cube:
  metric terms are ignored and it is assumed that
  there is no sea-ice on cube faces 1, 2, 4, and 5.

checkpoint52f_post
o added exch2 cube routines to pkg/exch2
o modified hs94.cs-32x32x5 to use it
o added new grid files to hs94.cs-32x32x5
checkpoint52f_pre

checkpoint52e_post
o first attempt to solve vertical advection (momemtum & T,S) Implicitly
  for now, only implemented with Lax-Wendroff (tracer) and VectInv (mom)
o step.1 : rewrite (as in MultiDimAdvec) explicit tracer stepping (gad_calc_rhs.F)
  to work with implicit vertical advection and AB ;
o Implic. vert. advect. implemented with flux-limiter, c2, u3 and c4 scheme.
o update output (gad_calc_rhs.F changes affect truncation error) of exp:
 front_relax, global_ocean .cs32x15 & _pressure, internal_wave, lab_sea, natl_box
checkpoint52e_pre

o fix bug in impldiff when Nr=1 or Nr=2.
o change the albedo in pkg/thsice (as GISS model); update output_thsice.txt
o little changes (fftpack, aim/phy_suflux ...) to pass the "checkbounds" test.
o fix deltaTfreesurf in update_cg2d.F (left from c45d_post): affects 2
  ocean exp. that use NLFS: global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_ocean_pressure
o added exf_offset_atemp for Celsius to Kelvin conversion of atemp
o eesupp/inc/EEPARAMS.h: MAX_NO_PROCS=1024
o pkg/cal/cal_toseconds.F fix for long (>60 years) integrations

checkpoint52d_post
o re-tiled many expts to allow comparison in multi-processor mode
  - updated output accordingly
  - changed hs94.128x64x5 to use intial T from file rather than use the
    random number generator
o add infrastructure in model routines for fizhi and gridalt packages
o change global_ocean.cs32x15 because of Pb with GM on CS-grid.
o changes to permit hi-res, cubed-sphere, configuration
  - added useSingleCpuIO capability to mdsio_readfield.F and exf_interp.F
  - added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/scatter_2d.F
  - added pkg/exf/exf_set_uv.F for on-the-fly interpolation and rotation
    of surface winds for the cube
  (A verification experiment, based on global_ocean.cs32x15, but with
   pkg/seaice turned on and with on-the-fly interpolation from the NCEP
   Gaussian grid is described in MITgcm_contrib/high_res_cube/README_ice,
   complete with example surface forcing files and matlab scripts to look
   at the output and compare it with that of global_ocean.cs32x15.)
o packages pickup: $PKG_write_pickup called from packages_write_pickup ;
   but call to $PKG_read_pickup remains in $PKG_ini_vars: change CD_code
   to conform to the common rule.
o check-in the first version of the coupler + interfaces for multi-components 
   set-up (Chris's version, adapted to work on cubed-sphere grid); use MPI.
   - imply modification in eesupp (MPI_COMM_MODEL < MPI_COMM_WORLD).
   - atmosphere: use pkg aim_v23 ; no sea-ice for now. 
   - ocean and atmos. share the same horizontal grid (no interpolation).
   - exchanges between component and coupler is done in forward_step
o new verification experiment, cpl_aim+ocn: 
   coupled ocean - AIM atmosphere on cs32 grid.

  - ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h should not be included from
    EXF_OPTIONS.h/CAL_OPTIONS.h, but from CPP_OPTIONS.h
    as has been the case in the past
  - All cal/exf related options are currently set in
    single header file. Should remain so until we
    agree on a consistent new policy.
o Removed all CPP options for cal package.
  cal has no more CPP options.
o modified STOREs in GAD_ADVECTION
o corrected key comp. for passkey

checkpoint52b_post

  to ensure proper customization

checkpoint52a_post
o modifications to make FREEZE (_SURFACE) flux visible to pkg/kpp
  - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code
  - subroutine FREEZE_SURFACE now limits only surface temperature
    and is called in FORWARD_STEP (if allowFreezing=.TRUE.)
    => new output.txt for global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_with_exf
  - keep the old version of FREEZE for backward compatibility;
    global_ocean.90x40x15 left unchanged using useOldFreezing=.TRUE.

o genmake2: changed AD dependencies from SRCFILES to AD_FILES

checkpoint51p_post
o create initial cd_code package
  - WARNING: the initialization of fields within packages
    is broken because INI_FIELDS (where READ_CHECKPOINT is
    called) is called *before* PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES.
    This seems to be backwards since
    1) its important to initially zero the entire field including 
       the "halo" region
    2) zeroing needs to be done *before* reading pickup info
       and the pickup call might or might not happen in any 
       particular run
  - this needs an overhaul for R2
o cleanup verification/*/code/GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
o cleanup testreport

o somewhat cleaned package initialisation sequence for
  ctrl/ cost/ ecco/ in packages_... routines

checkpoint50g_post
o merged with release1_p17 (pkg/seaice and verification/lab_sea)
  - added SEAICE_MULTILEVEL for 8-category sea-ice thermodynamics
  - LSR sea-ice dynamic solver moved to SouthWest B-grid location and
    made the default because of faster convergence than ADI

checkpoint50f_post
o exf totally restructured
  - replaced all exf_set_ routines by one generic exf_set_gen.F
    and made sure it's still differentiable
  - split exf_getffields.F into new exf_bulkformulae.F

 - there is no analogue to SurfaceTendencyS, so I have to use 
   gPtr(of the surface layer) instead
o add a new platform SunFire+mpi (SunFire 15000) to genmake
checkpoint50e_pre

checkpoint50d_post
o change kpp output from multiple-record state files to single-record state 
  files analogous to write_state.F
o reduce the output frequency of cg3d-related stuff to the monitor frequency, 
  analogous to the cg2d-related output.

checkpoint50
- 2nd step of merge with ecco-branch:
  merge changes in ecco-branch back into main trunk
- bug fix in find_alpha
- more storing in gmredi_calc_tensor.F, kpp_routines.F
- avoid iterative loop in ini_pressure for ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
- merged some sliced AD support routines

checkpoint49
merged from ecco-branch:
o exf:
  - Enable initialisation of forcing fields to constant 
    (runtime) values.
  - in exf_getffields.F
    Reduce i-/j-loop to interior domain, discarding overlaps.
    That also fixes wrong TAF-key computations for key_1, key_2
    with bulf formulae.
  - exf_init.F modify #ifdef for exf_init_evap
  - exf_getffieldrec.F, ctrl_getrec.F
    The following INT-usages are not safe:
      fldsecs  = int(fldsecs/fldperiod)*fldperiod
      fldcount = int(fldsecs/fldperiod) + 1
    and were modified.
o autodiff: checkpoint_lev...
  - updated storing for bulk formulae (some arrays were missing)
  - added state for seaice package
  - synchronized with main branch
o DIVA:
  Modif.s in
  - the_main_loop.F
  - the_model_main.F
  and added cost_final_restore.F cost_final_store.F
  o With these changes, it is possible to fully separate
    the first forward run to compute the cost function (mdthe_main_loop)
    and adjoint runs over individual DIVA intervals (adthe_main_loop)
    into separate model executions.
    This enables better tuning of DIVA to given queue sizes.
  o Loss of cost function value in consecutive DIVA runs is
    fixed by storing to 'costfinal' file.
  o Appropriate call of ctrl_unpack/_pack,grdchk_main at 
    beginning/end of adjoint integration is accounted for.
  The current changes apply to TAF-1.4.26.
  TAF has one remaining bug, requiring one manual change
  (see MITgcm manual).
o cal: synchronized between MAIN and ecco-branch

checkpoint48i_post
o Changes to restore differentiability of code w.r.t. previous tag
  (mostly adding new routines to make list and replacing

  - has both ADM and TLM checks
  - works for single- and multi-proc.
  - output cleaned
  - worked successfully for parallel DIVA
o genmake:
  - Adding -platform=SP4
  - Modif. for DEC Alpha (many don't have makedepend; use mkdep instead).
o Modif. for DIVA:
  ctrl_unpack should not be called in intermediate DIVA interval.
  (similar thing would apply for active files such as
  tbar, sbar, psbar, which should not be reinitialised;
  only relevant for ecco-branch)

checkpoint48h_post
o improve "ini_p_ground" when using finite difference form for calc_phi_hyd
o Added net flux to downward flux conversion to pkg/exf/exf_getffields.F

  store total Potential in totPhyHyd for diagnostics & EOS.
o fix restart and overlap Pb when using Z-coord and EOS funct. of P
--- Pressure/geopotential gradient:
o use Ro_surf & R_low instead of hFac in cal_phi_hyd:
o NLFS + p-coord.: eta*Alpha' is not longer lagging 1.time-step behind
  ( changes results of global_ocean_pressure )
o NLFS + z-coord.: add eta*Rho' contribution.
o accurate phiHyd when using interface-W at the middle between 2 centers
 ( changes results of ideal_2D_oce )
o includes r* 2nd term in potential gradient.

o dynamics: change definition of computational domain & adapt mom_fluxform
  accordingly ; when viscA4=0, allows to run the dynamics with Olx=Oly=2. 
o following exp works with Olx=Oly=2 (and pass through checkbounds option):
    adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 adjustment.128x64x1 adjustment.cs-32x32x1
    exp0 exp1 exp2 exp4 exp5 hs94.cs-32x32x5 hs94.128x64x5 hs94.1x64x5
    global_ocean.90x40x15 global_with_exf global_ocean_pressure 
    inverted_barometer solid-body.cs-32x32x1
  (high order AdvScheme and/or multiDimAd works with Olx=Oly=2 ? not sure)

checkpoint48d_post
o in preparation for r*:
 a) use pre-computed gradient of hydrostatic potential:
    changes in timestep.F & mom_cdscheme.F affects results of ideal_2D_oce
 b) move phi0surf from calc_phi_hyd to calc_grad_phi_hyd:
    => affects results of glob_oce_pressure (different truncation error)  
  update output.txt of ideal_2D_oce & global_ocean_pressure

checkpoint48d_pre
o in preparation for r*:
  new S/R (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F) to compute Hydrostatic potential gradient.
  pass the 2 comp. of the grad. as arguments to momentum S/R.

  reverse checkpointing loop
o Yet more changes in gmredi:
  * adgmredi_calc_tensor
    avoiding all recomputation of gmredi_slope_limit
  * adgmredi_x/y/rtransport
    added flag for excessive storing to avoid recomp. of
    u/v/rtans, dTdx/y/z
    -> this is not really necessary and very memory-consuming
  * adgmredi_slope_psi:
    consistency with gmredi_slope_limit in treatment of GM_slopeSqCutoff
  * gmredi_slope_limit
    re-activated full calculation of taperfct for case 'ac02'

o add GM_Small_Number & GM_slopeSqCutoff as run-time parameters (data.gmredi)
  default values = 1.D-12 & 1.D+48 (=> give same results as checkpoint47f_post)
o cg2dTargetResWunit: define tolerance using deltaTmom (and not deltaTfreesurf) 
o gmredi: fix few bugs.

checkpoint47h_post (duplicate tag for PH's c48 tag, in order to move c48)
This will be a good checkpoint to plug into the ecco-branch.
o few modif.'s to get latest version adjointed
  (mainly kick out code in ini_linear_phisurf)
o modif's to run adjoint with exactConserv
o case GM_BOLUS_ADVEC should be cleaned
  S/R gmredi_slope_psi should be cleaned
o verification/carbon now has exactConserv=.TRUE.

checkpoint47g_post
o time-average AIM output: becomes independent from statvars time-average
  (can be used with #undef ALLOW_TIMEAVE) ; add new variables (e.g., RH)
o After TAF bug fix:
  Tested adjoint of gmredi package.
  Tests were done with checkpoint47 rather than with latest
  checkpoint47f_post since the latter is broken for the adjoint
  verification/carbon/ contains both ADM and TLM gradient checks.
Here they are, before they get changed/lost/stolen.
Mostly modif.'s to fix numerical sensitivities.
Gradient checks OK for
- GM_taper_scheme:
  * clipping
  * ac02
  * linear
  * glw91
  * dm95
  * ldd97
- GMREDI_OPTIONS:
  * GM_VISBECK_VARIABLE_K
  * GM_NON_UNITY_DIAGONAL
  * GM_EXTRA_DIAGONAL
  * GM_BOLUS_ADVEC
in conjunction with data.gmredi parameters to be checked in
in a few minutes under verification/carbon/code/

checkpoint47f_post
Merging from release1_p10:

  - pkg/seaice CPP options SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING
    and SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES
  - pkg/exf CPP options EXF_READ_EVAP and
    EXF_NO_BULK_COMPUTATIONS
  - usage examples are Experiments 8 and 9 in
    verification/lab_sea/README
  - verification/lab_sea default experiment now uses
    pkg/gmredi, pkg/kpp, pkg/seaice, and pkg/exf

checkpoint47e_post
o created a tag prior to creating a branch

checkpoint47d_post
o fixed bug in the oceanic pressure coordinates code: vertical viscosity 
  at the bottom boundary had an erroneous half slip boundary condition
o added bottom drag and no slip boundary condition capabilities to 
  oceanic pressure coordinates code
o added new verification experiment global_ocean_pressure, this experiment is
  also described in the tutorial section of the manual
checkpoint47d_pre

checkpoint47c_post
o Added a verification experiment for a global cubed-sphere ocean run
  -  verification/global_ocean.cubed32x32x30
  -  uses pkg/therm_seaice and pkg/bulk_forcing

o allow to run AIM physics with SPEEDY input files (from Franco Molteni)
o allow a more accurate definition of Ro_Surf (selectFindRoSurf=1)
  when using P-coordinate; only implemented for atmospheric config.
o OCEANICP & realFreshWater: include P-E direct effect on wVel ;
  NOTES: requires option NONLIN_FRSURF to be "#define".
o update advect_xz/results/output.txt (left from checkpoint44g_post)

checkpoint47b_post
Merging from release1_p9:
o pkg/seaice
  - removed GOTO's and added taf directives
  - double precision constants to reduce the g77 (Linux)
    to F77 (SGI) differences reported in release1_p8
o tools/genmake
  - added SGI options
o verification/testscript
  - updated to that of checkpoint47a_post
o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/input/eedata
  - modified for SGI f77 compatibility
o verification/lab_sea
  - added description of sea-ice model
  - added missing matlab routines
  - added test of thermodynamics parallelization

checkpoint47a_post
o new pkg: aim_v23 
 = F. Molteni atmos.physics (SPEEDY, ver23) adapted to MITgcm. 
   for now, keep the same surface forcing as before.
 - Part-Cell implemented into AIM; check that Heat & Water are conserved
 - aim.5l_cs: use new aim pkg (run 10yr & get better results than before)
 - aim.5l_LatLon & aim.5l_Equatorial_Channel are still using old aim pkg
o add diagnostic of surface correction term in monitor output

o bulk_force and therm_seaice 
- Two packages:  bulk_force (Bulk forcing)
  and therm_seaice (thermodynamic_seaice) - adopted from LANL CICE.v2.0.2
- Earlier integration from Stephaine Dutkiewicz
  and Patrick Heimbach.
- Two ifdef statements for compile time,
   ALLOW_THERM_SEAICE and ALLOW_BULK_FORCE

checkpoint47
differentiable version of checkpoint46n_post
o bug fix in quasihydrostaticterms
o * "clean" adjoint code (in terms of extensive recomputations)
    can now be obtained for all GMREDI options (i.e. for 
    - GM_VISBECK_VARIABLE_K
    - GM_NON_UNITY_DIAGONAL
    - GM_EXTRA_DIAGONAL
    - GM_BOLUS_ADVEC )
  * However, wrong gradient check problem remains unsolved.
  * New CPP options have been introduced for different
    tapering schemes
o external_fields_load now part of differentiation list
o pressure needs multiple storing;
  would be nice to have store_pressure at beginning or
  end of forward_step, e.g. by having phiHyd global (5-dim.)
  (NB: pressure is needed for certain cases in find_rho,
  which is also invoked through convective_adjustment).
o recomputations in find_rho for cases 
 'JMD95'/'UNESCO' or 'MDJWF' are OK.
o #define ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING should be differentiable
o ini_forcing shifted to begining of initialise_varia
o Incorporating QNVS line search routines into MITgcm
  (this is separate code, and therefore not under pkg)
  lsopt/, optim/
o Updated verification/carbon/
  - #define GM_VISBECK_VARIABLE_K
  - GM_taper_scheme    = 'ldd97'    

checkpoint46n_post
Merging from release1_p8:
o verification/natl_box:
  updating new external_fields_load routine
o New package: pkg/seaice
  Sea ice model by D. Menemenlis (JPL) and Jinlun Zhang (Seattle).
  The sea-ice code is based on Hibler (1979-1980).
  Two sea-ice dynamic solvers, ADI and LSR, are included.
  In addition to computing prognostic sea-ice variables and diagnosing 
  the forcing/external data fields that drive the ocean model, 
  SEAICE_MODEL also sets theta to the freezing point under sea-ice.
  The implied surface heat flux is then stored in variable 
  surfaceTendencyTice, which is needed by KPP package (kpp_calc.F and 
  kpp_transport_t.F) to diagnose surface buoyancy fluxes and for the 
  non-local transport term.  Because this call precedes model 
  thermodynamics, temperature under sea-ice may not be "exactly" at 
  the freezing point by the time theta is dumped or time-averaged.
  N.B.: fairly large differences in accuracy occur across
        different platforms/compilers; comparison between
        g77 (Linux) and F77 (SGI Origin 2000/MIPSpro) 
        generated output gives:
   T           S           U           V
  C D M    c        m  s        m  s        m  s        m  s

  Y Y Y Y  5  5  7  7  7  8 10  9  6  6  6  6  7  5  7  5  7 FAIL  lab_sea
o GAD: 
  - generated new common blocks to account for call of
    same gad routines with differing traceridentities
    (needed to modify tracerIdentity indices in GAD.h)
  - generated separate common blocks for case useCubedSphereExchange
    (Department of Futurology)
  - parameter lists to gmredi_?transport: added tracerIdentity
  - added new key indices to tamc.h
o external_fields_load:
  - added this routine to TAF list
  - needed to make some common blocks global and additional storing
    along the same lines as exf package (checkpoint_lev?_directives.h)
o exf:
  updated external forcing package
  - bug fixes carried over from ecco-branch
    (missing OBCS_OPTIONS.h in two routines)
  - enable easy to use "no forcing".
  - added exf I/O for atmospheric loading
  - added exf I/O for runoff data
  - transfered scaling between exf <-> MITgcm to exf namelist
o Adding new verification experiment global_with_exf.
  This verification experiment is almost identical to the
  global_ocean.90x40x15 experiment, except that it uses
  the exf (and cal) package instead of the
  external_fields_load routine (cf README file).

checkpoint46m_post
o modified testscript to return -- when there are no lines of "%MON" output 
o added new flag "quasiHydrostatic" for QH mode
  and new routine quasihydrostaticterms()
o added 2*Omega*Cos(phi)*W to u equations (non-hydrostatic Coriolis term)
  New routine: mom_u_coriolis_nh()
o fixed sign of non-hydrostatic metric terms in u and v equations.
  Depend on correct sign of gravitySign.
o added work.pc* to .cvsignore in aim directories using ifc
o introduced flag for controllin non-hydrostatic metric terms
o removed gravitySign from PARM04
o switched to g77/ifc from pgf77 in aim experiments

checkpoint46l_post
o made convective adjustment work with pressure coordinates:
 - changed the direction of k-loop in convective_adjustment.F for the
   case of pressure coordinates (OCEANICP,ATMOSPHERIC buoyancyRelation)
 - adjusted the reference pressure k-index in convective_adjustment.F
 - adjusted the convection condition in convect.F (in analogy to
   calc_ivdc.F)
 - convective_adjustment no longer computes anything on the halos
 - removed the warnings about negative salinity from find_rho.F and
   find_alpha.F; instead the new routine look_for_neg_salinity, called
   at the beginning of find_rho, find_alpha, and find_beta, does a 
   check of the entire slice, if CPP-option 
   CHECK_SALINITY_FOR_NEGATIVE_VALUES is defined
checkpoint46l_pre

checkpoint46k_post
o fixed the verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 experiment:
 - new bathymetry (the world according to A., JMC, and M.)
 - new initial fields and forcing fields (*.bin files)
 - new POLY3.COEFFS (for the next release one should switch to a full
   equation of state: JMD95P or MDJWF)
 - fixed several errors and redundancies in the data file
 - experiment uses looped cells
 - added matlab directory with diagnostic scripts for plotting of output

o S/R aim_initialise.F replace S/R aim_init from file aim_do_inphys.F:
 - read AIM physics parameters from a file (data.aimphys)
 - set defaults values = F.Molteni paper (Clim.Dyn., 2002)

checkpoint46j_post
o split calc_exact_eta in 2 S/R : integr_continuity & update_etaH
o move wVel computation at the end of the time step, in S/R integr_continuity
o create specific S/R to exchange T,S before DYNAMICS (for stagger time step)
o update timeave pkg for wVel diagnostic.
checkpoint46j_pre

checkpoint46i_post
o Clean up AIM package (and keep the results unchanged):
  include CPP_OPTION and use IMPLICT NONE in all routines ; 
  declare all the variables _RL ; use _d 0 for all numerical constants.
  use ifdef ALLOW_AIM everywhere. And now AIM can be used with g77 !

checkpoint46h_post
o cleaned up the use of rhoNil and rhoConst. 
  - rhoNil should only appear in the LINEAR equation of state, everywhere 
    else rhoNil is replaced by rhoConst, e.g. find_rho computes rho-rhoConst
    and the dynamical equations are all divided by rhoConst
o introduced new parameter rhoConstFresh, a reference density of fresh 
  water, to remove the fresh water flux's dependence on rhoNil. The default
  value is 999.8 kg/m^3
o cleanup up external_forcing.F and external_forcing_surf.F
  - can now be used by both OCEANIC and OCEANICP
checkpoint46h_pre

 Added code to convert surface volume flux (fresh water) into
 a mass flux when using P coordinates in the ocean (OCEANICP).
 Note: It assumes you have set rho0=rhoConst=density of fresh water.

checkpoint46g_post
o Include a new diagnostic variable phiHydLow for the ocean model
  - in z-coordinates, it is the bottom pressure anomaly
  - in p-coordinates, it is the sea surface elevation
  - in both cases, these variable have global drift, reflecting the mass
    drift in z-coordinates and the volume drift in p-coordinates
  - included time averaging for phiHydLow, be aware of the drift!
o depth-dependent computation of Bo_surf for pressure coordinates 
  in the ocean (buoyancyRelation='OCEANICP')
  - requires a new routine (FIND_RHO_SCALAR) to compute density with only 
    Theta, Salinity, and Pressure in the parameter list. This routine is 
    presently contained in find_rho.F. This routine does not give the
    correct density for 'POLY3', which would be a z-dependent reference
    density.
o cleaned up find_rho
  - removed obsolete 'eqn' from the parameter list.
o added two new verification experiments: gop and goz
  (4x4 degree global ocean, 15 layers in pressure and height coordinates)
checkpoint46g_pre

checkpoint46f_post
o Enable tangent linear (forward mode) gradient checks:
  - extended active file handling to g_... files
  - added TANGENT_SIMULATION to theSimulationMode
  - extended grdchk package accordingly
o added tangent linear setup in verification/carbon/code_ftl
o added adjoint setup in verification/front_relax/code_ad

checkpoint46e_post
o Added new equation of state -> MDJWF
  - EOS of McDougall et al., 2002, JAOT, submitted
  - caveat: the equation of state is only valid for a smaller (more
    realistic?) range of values than JMD95P/Z and UNESCO
  - added masks to the calculation of pressure in store_pressure
  - added more check values for density in check_eos (ini_eos.F), some of 
    the old check values are out of the range of the MDJWF-eos, so don't
    expect perfect matches for those 
checkpoint46e_pre

checkpoint46d_post
o fixed store_pressure to work with both buoyancy relation = 'OCEANIC' and
  'OCEANICP', also initialised field pressure correctly in ini_eos in the 
  case of pressure coordinates. eosType='JMD95Z' in 
  combination with buoyancyRelation='OCEANICP' now causes an error.
o Changed p = pressure(i,j,k,bi,bj)  to  p = pressure(i,j,kRef,bi,bj)
  in find_alpha/beta.
checkpoint46d_pre

o Changed p = pressure(i,j,k,bi,bj)  to  p = pressure(i,j,kRef,bi,bj)
  so that JMD95Z and JMD95P give approptiate static stability in find_rho. 

checkpoint46c_post
o Changes necessary for ocean in p-coordinates
 -  Added new buoyancy relation = 'OCEANICP'
 -  Added new parameters = gravitySign (this used to be contained inside
    the factor dRdZ which I added when we first switched to R coordinates).
 X GM/Redi is not compatible (yet)
 X bottom drag and no-slip need to be debugged.
checkpoint46c_pre

checkpoint46b_post
o Added new equation of state -> JMD95Z and JMD95P
  - EOS of Jackett and McDougall, 1995, JAOT
  - moved all EOS parameters into EOS.h
  - new routines ini_eos.F, store_pressure.F
o Added UNESCO EOS, but not recommended because it requires 
  in-situ temperature (see JMD95)
o Modified formatting for knudsen2.f in utils/knudsen2 and added
  unesco.f to be used with POLY3
checkpoint46b_pre

checkpoint46a_post
o Added (atmospheric) pressure loading
  - new field in FFIELDS.h, etc...
  - new cpp flag ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING
o Changed hFacC to _hFacC in calc_phi_hyd.F
o Added SHORTWAVE_HEATING to some files for consistency
checkpoint46a_pre

  to configure barotropic setup (Martin Losch)
o moved some initialisations within bi,bj loop in dynamics
  (TAF flow dependency)
o in initialise_varia, moved call packages_init_variables
  before convective_adjustment_init
  (corresponding adjustment of TAF tape initialisation).
o in calc_diffusivity/calc_viscosity extended domain to full overlap.

checkpoint45a_post
o compute Rho over the whole domain (extend iMin,jMin indices)
o specific exchange for X-slice domain (case Ny=1)

  2 cell-centers ; replace delZ in pkg/kpp by drF.
o GM Advective form: Tracers are advected using the residual transport (=
  Euler+GM-bolus); set param GM_AdvSeparate=T to return to previous form.

checkpoint44g_post
o fix surface correction term in multiDimAdvection (affects plume_on_slope 
  results) ; ifdef missing in thermodynamics.F

checkpoint44f_pre,checkpoint44f_post
o added PTRACERS package
  This allows an arbitrary number of passive tracers to be integrated
  forward simultaneously with the dynamicaly model.
  + Implemented so far:
    - basic forward algorithm (time-stepping, advection, diffusion, convection)
    - I/O and checkpointing
    - GM/Redi  *but*  using the GM/Redi coefficient of Salt
  + Not implemented so far:
    - KPP
    - OBCS
  + No specific example supplied (yet) but global_ocean.90x40x15 has the
    necessary data.ptracer file. Simply use -enable=ptracers and uncomment
    line in data.pkg.
  + This package is disabled by default since it increases storage.


o testscript: added -cleanup option
o Shap_filt: a) new shap_filt S/R to use no-slip BC with S2 filter
             b) enable to filter 2D fields.

checkpoint44e_pre,post
o re-wrote convective adjustment to use pre-calculated weights
  Affects: model/src/convective_adjustment.F, convective_adjustment_ini.F
  Adds:    model/src/convective_weights.F, convectively_mixtracer.F
  Original calls to convect() still in place.

chkpt44d_pre,post
o added missing EXCLUDE_MONITOR flags
o changed "e" to "_d" in gmredi_slope_limit, gmredi_slope_psi

  on IBM SP3)
o in genmake added variable MAKEDEPEND
  plus resetting for case SunOS

checkpoint40pre8
o new package rw/
  Added method for dumping intermediate local arrays:
  mdsio_writetile - same as mdsio_writefield except works from inside
                    bi,bj loop
  mdsio_writelocal - same as mdsio_writetile except works for local
                     arrays
  write_local_r? - higher-level wrapper for mdsio_writelocal
  Controlled by diagFreq. Defaults to zero (ie. no dumps)
  Example given at end of mom_vecinv.F that dumps some local arrays.
o replaced calc_mom_rhs.F by mom_fluxform.F/mom_vecinc.F to
  control flux-form versus vector invariant code.
  Switch is runtime flag vectorInvariantMomentum (defaults to false)
  or genmake -DISABLE ...
o TAMC-related update to cope with mom_fluxform.F/mom_vecinc.F
  (additional storing is now needed for case vecinv;
  currently nothing implemented to switch this storing off
  in case fluxform is used since no CPP flag available).

checkpoint40pre7
o bug fix in dynamics.F
  calc_viscosity called before k=1,Nr loop.
o added some #ifdef's ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER
o cleaned initialisations in ctrl_map_ini

o bug fix in gmredi_slope_limit for ldd97

checkpoint40pre5
o proper initialization of Adams-Bashforth time stepping
  + uses forward step for very first step of model (iter=0)
o re-generated *all* output since almost all output is modified by this
  change (sorry but we've been putting this one off for about 2 years)
  + natl_box, aim.5l_Equatorial_Channel and aim.5l_zon-ave were
    *not* regenerated since they are already out of date and I don't
    want to create the impression that they are suddenly working.
o removed KAP stuff for DEC's
o modified/added many .cvsignore files in */code and */input
o added new expt "solid-body.cs-32x32x1"
  + this uses an alternative form of ini_curvilinear_grid.F which
    is not necessarily any better than the current one...

checkpoint40pre4
o added re-initialisations of utrans,vtrans,rtrans in
  calc_common_factors which are crucial for TAF.
o extended iMin,jMin range for calc_common_factors,
  calc_diffusivity
o added option ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER

o some recomputations of nIter0 for TAMC

checkpoint40pre2
o Updated to latest branch of AJA, JMC
o Added gradient check package
o Added routines for passive tracer handling
o Added carbon sequestration sensitivity experiment

checkpoint39
 o Modifications and fixes to support TAMC
   (mainly missing or wrong directives)
 o Corrected common blocks when fooling TAMC to produce adjoint I/O
   in addummy_in_stepping
 o Updated verification/vero/ (bug fixes in code/, correct pickups in input/)
 o Enabled "sliced" (xz-,yz-) exchanges, needed for obcs.
 o Included following packages:
   cal: calendar
   exf: external forcing
   ecco: essential routines to control use of cal, exf
         (NB: this is not the full ECCO environment)
 o disabled some packages by default in genmake

checkpoint38
 o see notes_c37_adj.txt
 o corrected wrong layer index in external_forcing_t
 o replaced the_main_loop/forward_step by the_main_loop
 o removed forceoutput from write_state
   (replaced criteria for initial/final state)
 o added runtime flag for pre-C35 pickups: usePickupBeforeC35

checkpoint37
 o mdsio.F routine split and packaged in pkg/mdsio
   (mdsio.F and mdsio_gl.F still exist in eesupp/src but are not
    used unless genmake -disable=mdsio)
 o allow a more precise surface-geopotential gradient for the atmosphere
   taking into account the change in space of Alpha (=1/rho) at the surface.
 o variable "etaN" (replace cg2d_x) is the surface R-anomaly [r unit]
   (ocean: sea surface height [m] / atmos: surface pressure anomaly [Pa])
 o Change units: Phi_Hydrostatic (=phiHyd), Phi_Surface(=cg2d_x) and
   Phi_NonHydrostatic (=cg3d_x), all have now the dimension of a potential
   [m2/s2] (pressure/rhoConst in the ocean ; Geo-Potential in the atmosphere).
 o Time-Average diagnostics defined as a pseudo package "timeave".
 o pickup files : old pickup (before c35) did not work with new code (c35
   and after) unless activating 2 commented lines in initialise-varia.
 o Non-Hydrostatic pickup file Pb fixed.
 o bug with Rigid-lid version (since c35) fixed.  

checkpoint36
 o implement Crank-Nickelson barotropic time-stepping
 o recover Time-Average diagnostics
 o fix Pb in checkpoint (PR#19) 
 o AIM become a standard package ; clean unused CPP_kees

checkpoint35
 o subtantial rewrite of dynamics.f

 o packaged obcs, aim (Atmospheric Physics), zonal_filt, shap_filt
 o added bottom drag (linear + quadratic)

checkpoint34
 o Modified exchange routines for correct reverse simulation.
 o Added verification output to comply with bug fix in impldiff.F
   as of c33 (exp2, natl_box).
 o Corrected store directives in dynamics.F
 o Corrected array boundaries in impldiff.F
 o Corrected array dimensions in gmredi.
   Added temporary scalars to avoid storage by TAMC (gmredi, kpp).
 o Added routine GLOBAL_SUM_INT to global_sum.F
 o Added mdsio_gl.F for ECCO purposes.

checkpoint33
 o Fixed bug in lower BC in impldiff.F
 o Fixed confusion about units of forcing arrays in FFIELDS.h
   namely Fu,Fv,Qnet,Qsw,EmPmR:
   - Removed verification/natl_box/code/external_fields_scale.F
     (did not differ from that in model/src)
   - Changed units of fu,fv,Qnet,Qsw,EmPmR back to proper units
     (see FFIELDS.h for description)
   - Scale fu,fv,Qnet,Qsw,EmPmR when used in external_forcing_surf.F,
     kpp_calc.F and kpp_transport_t.F
   - Removed model/src/external_fields_scale.F and calls to it
   - verification/natl_box uses flux data with "atmospheric" sign so
     a special version of external_fields_load.F is used to
     change the data as it's read in. This way, the arrays
     have the right units and signs at all times tha a user could
     possibly use them.
 o Corrected genmake to delete a temporary file during configuration

checkpoint32
 o Scaling of forcing fields moved from external_forcing.F to
   external_fields_scale.F, called directly after loading fields.
 o Surface relaxation terms added to surface tendency fields in
   extra subroutine.
 o impldiff.F changed to avoid storing by TAMC of huge intermediate
   fields.
 o Changes in GMRedi to comply with packaging structure.
 o Modifications and bug fixes in KPP package.
 o Verification experiment for KPP added (verification/nat_box/)

checkpoint31
 o Packages interface brought in line with defined standard
   -> new routines packages_...F
   -> changes in initialise_fixed.F, initialise_varia.F
   -> enables initialisation interface for ECCO package
 o Rescaling of external forcing fields immediately after read
   (removed from external_forcing.F) 
   -> new: surface_fields_scale.F
   -> affects ini_foorcing.F, external_fields_load.F
 o Computation of surface tendencies before tendency updates.
   -> new: external_forcing_surf.F
 o Change of variable names useGMRedi, useKPP, useECCO
 o Further changes in dynamics.F, impldiff.F for TAMC
 o Tested for experiments 0, 2, 4.
   - not yet tested for GMRedi.
   - not yet tested for KPP.

 o routines calc_common_factors, calc_gs, calc_gt, calc_phi_hyd, find_rho:
   included some initialisations required for TAMC.
 o routine calc_isoslopes: modified sqrt computation to make it 
   differentiable for zero argument.
 o routines dynamics, impldiff:
   included store directives and tape key computations required for TAMC.
 o ALL TAMC related changes are between ifdef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC

checkpoint27
 o fixed calc_isoslopes() to so that cancellation of terms in tensor
   formulation works properly with variable resolution.
 o restructured the calling tree between the_model_main() and dynamics()
 o split initialise() into initialise_fixed() and initialise_varia()
 o introduced initialization file pSurfInitFile for free surface (cg2d_x)
   in new routine ini_psurf()

checkpoint26
 o moved some #ifdef in optional routines to encompass everything
   except the argument declarations. This was using up some memory.
 o fixed macros like _ADT to work with both versions of Linux cpp
 o cleaned up some unused and uninitialized variables
   (helps when debugging with strict compile options)

 o Implemented free-slip/no-slip BCs and del^4 dissipation.
 o Split default parameters out of ini_parms.F into set_defaults.F.

checkpoint18

   for supporting atmos. and ocean configs.
 o Small changes for TAMC complinace
 o New ultra simple test case. Barotropic box
   configuration "exp0".

checkpoint16

   shmput/shmget, VIA, SYSV shmem and every other cool 
   communication method.

checkpoint14
 Consistent isomorphism chages made. These allow dynamical core
 to support both pressure and meters as a vertical coordinate.

checkpoint13
 Release which corrects global_max problem and a couple
 of KGM time-averaging diagnostic errors. Also contains
 a double-gyre experiment setup as well as the baseline
 4 degree global template. The double gyre template is
 organised to allow it to be applied automatically to
 the baseline configuration.

branch-point-rdot
 A few tidy-ups have been made bt the real point of this
 check-point (excuse the pun) is to allow a branch to be
 made for the purposes of adding the rDot alterations.
 I don't want to commit the rDot to the main-trunk until
 we've actually tested it...

checkpoint12
