     Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
     ==============================
 
+checkpoint61b
+o exch2: 
+  change index bounds in rx2_cube exchanges (new S/R: EXCH2_GET_UV_BOUNDS)
+  - no longer depend on the order sequence (N,S,E,W).
+  - 3rd exchange no longer needed (tested with 24 tiles).
+  - same modif to hand-written adjoint S/R (global_ocean.cs32x15: zero diff)
+  - exch_UV_A-grid readily available (but not yet tested).
+  comment out 3rd exch call and remove copy of V to U at SE & NE face-corners 
+  (both are no longer needed) in exch_uv: no effect in forward run; but 
+   get truncation error differences with adjoint exch.
+o exch2: 
+ - change index-bounds storage (moved from target to local tile,
+   more intuitive this way) ; rename/remove some variables.
+ - change utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator & code_mods accordingly.
+
+checkpoint61a
+o exch2/matlab-topology-generator: 
+  fix bug in index bounds for N-S internal exchange (hard to tell if this
+  had any effect on the solution).
+o pkg/mnc: small fix in mnc_handle_err: make sure that length of msgbuf
+  is exceeded
+o testreport: modify syntax of awk, so that it works also with 
+  awk, and not only with nawk and gawk
+
+checkpoint61
+o autodiff
+  Change default for TAF usage by removing argument '-nonew_arg'
+  This changes TAF subroutine argument list (ordering of active var.)
+  Omission of this flag leads to incompatibility w.r.t. TAMC
+  To restore TAMC-compatibility, need following modifs:
+  * use adoptfile tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_tamc_compatibility
+  * use CPP option #define AUTODIFF_TAMC_COMPATIBILITY
+  Tested TAF version is 1.9.22
+  N.B.: exch2 hand-written adjoint code currently not TAMC compatible
+
+checkpoint60
+--->>> This is the last checkpoint for which generating the adjoint
+--->>> is done via the TAMC-compatibility TAF-flag "-nonewarg"
+--->>> by default.
+--->>> Future checkpoints will ommit this flag by default.
+o pkg/generic_advdiff, os7mp: simplify and avoid division by zero.
+o pkg/grdchk: Add gradient check to etan0 perturbations.
+o pkg/exf: read ice area from file (#ifdef ALLOW_ICE_AREAMASK). 
+o pkg/autodiff: more flexibility in zeroadj. 
+  model/src: modifying do_oceanic_phys.F accordingly. 
+o pkg/ctrl: Bounds for (kapgm,kapredi,eddypsi) parameter estimation.
+o model/src and pkg/gmredi: GMREDI_WITH_STABLE_ADJOINT CPP option
+  special setup of gmredi for which the adjoint is stable 
+  enough for parameter optimization.
+o bridging the gap between eddy stress and GM.
+  -> eddyTau is replaced with eddyPsi (eddyTau = f x rho0 x eddyPsi)
+      along with a change in CPP option (now ALLOW_EDDYPSI).
+  -> when using GM w/ GM_AdvForm: 
+      The total eddy streamfunction (Psi = eddyPsi + K x Slope)
+      is applied either in the tracer Eq. or in momentum Eq.
+      depending on data.gmredi (intro. GM_InMomAsStress).
+  -> ALLOW_EDDYPSI_CONTROL for estimation purpose.
+  The key modifications are in model/src/taueddy_external_forcing.F
+  pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_*F pkg/gmredi/gmredi_*transport.F
+
+checkpoint59r
+o new S/R (pkg/mdsio/mdsio_facef_read.F) reading of sNx+1 x sNy+1 array
+  from per-face file (take S/R READSYMTILE_RS out of ini_curvilinear_grid.F);
+  fix option to read coriolis(@ cell-corner) from files with CS-grid.
+o pkg/mnc: add some attributes to standard 1D-coordinate variables
+o pkg/diagnostics: enforce missing_value attribute for scalar variables at
+  mass points, when using mnc for output
+  - add runtime parameter (missing_value, missing_value_int) to override 
+    default (which is the value of getcon('UNDEF'))
+o pkg/mnc: prepare mnc for the actual use of missing values with the
+  diagnostics package: small fix in mnc_cw_readwrite.template and more
+  initialisation of never used fields
+  - replace mnc_common.h and mnc_id_header.h with corresponding upper case
+  versions
+o pkg/thsice/thsice_ini_vars.F added default initial values so that 
+  thermodynamics sea ice solver does not blow up when some initial fields 
+  are missing.
+o move from external_forcing_surf.F to ini_forcing.F
+  the p-coord. hack consisting in using pLoad to set phi0surf ;
+  update output of tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
+o Freshen up a bit hs94.1x64x5, notably: 
+  remove rotationPeriod and tRef=5*0. (adjoint only), and add 
+  exactConserv=.TRUE.
+o pkg/generic_advdiff:
+  change option GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT to GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV which only
+  applies to files where Temperature & Salinity 2nd Order moments are used.
+o pkg/ptracers: add second-order moment advection schemes (80 and 81);
+  this uses a dynamically allocated internal state data structure
+  (#define PTRACERS_ALLOW_DYN_STATE in PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h) 
+  and requires a fortran 90 compiler
+
+checkpoint59q
+o pkg/mom_vecinv: Add energy & enstrophy conserving scheme (selectVortScheme=3)
+   (from Sadourny, described by Burridge & Haseler, ECMWF Rep.4, 1977)
+o Refresh tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, notably:
+  - change bathymetry (put back seamounts in ACC, use hFacs)
+  - change EOS (POLY3 --> JMD95Z)
+  - use Bryan-Lewis vertical diffusivity
+  - use multidimensional advection
+  - remove old virtual virtual in dic pkg, now done through ptracer pkg
+  - change a couple of parameters in dic pkg
+o pkg/ctrl: change formula in adctrl_bound.F and add a parameter to ctrl_map_ini_gen.F
+o pkg/obcs: change default to OBCSfixTopo = .true., 
+  - set OBCSfixTopo=.false. in exp4/input/data.obcs to reproduce old result
+  - replace "debugMode" with "debugLevel .GE. debLevB"
+o implementation of TAF directives for gchem,cfc,dic 
+o remove "exp5" (replaced by tutorial_deep_convection).
+o pkg/obcs: add code to fix topography gradients normal to open boundaries;
+  this requires computing the index fields OB_Jn/Js/Ie/Iw in obcs_readparms;
+  the code can be turned on by setting OBCSfixTopo = .true. in data.obcs
+  --> changes results in exp4, seaice_obcs
+o tutorial_deep_convection :
+  update the set-up and increase resolution and domain size ; start
+  from pseudo initial conditions = output at t=120mn in order to see
+  something happening when running testreport.
+o pkg/seaice: add os7mp as an advection scheme
+              add check for advection schemes
+              add a flag for restoring T and S underneath sea ice
+o pkg/my82: add netcdf-support and diagnostics 
 o thsice pkg:
-  - Now hsMax limits snow heitght by turning it into ice following
+  - Now hsMax limits snow height by turning it into ice following
     flooding scheme (and now conserving energy)
   - Slight rewriting of the formula in thsice_calc_thick.F
   - Parameter rhowi eliminated to be replaced by floodFac = (rhosw-rhoi)/rhos
-    --> changes results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn and global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice 
+  --> changes results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn and global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
