8    o pkg/autodiff:
9      note about monitor and snap-shot of ad-variables:
10      a) need to apply ADEXCH before monitor or output of ad-vars to include
11       overlap contributions (was done for adjDump but missing for monitor).
12      b) since ADEXCH implies adding overlap values to interior array, machine
13       truncation error is expected when adding an ADEXCH call in the middle of
14       the time-stepping (although mathematically identical).
15      modifs:
16      - fix some incorrect type (RL/RS, UV/scalar) in ADEXCH calls and ad-vars
17        declaration (adEddyPsiX,adEddyPsiY in adcommon.h).
18      - add new run-time params (dumpAdVarExch & mon_AdVarExch) to select how  to
19        apply ADEXCH before monitor or snap-shot of ad-variables:
20           =0 : no ADEXCH ; =1 : do ADEXCH ; =2 : apply ADEXCH on a local copy.
21      - implement new method (copy+adexch) for snap-shot and monitor of main model
22        ad-vars (initially not used by default -> output unchanged).
23      - change default (set to 2) to use new method and update few output_adm.txt
24        with accurate ad-monitor (global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
25        and both tutorial_tracer_adjsens tests).
26      - switch 2 global_ocean.cs32x15 AD-tests to AB-2 (seaice_dynmix & thsice)
27        and turn off momDissip_In_AB in the 2 other (needed for stable AB-3).
28    o pkg/ctrl:
29      enable the use of a variable number (maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D) of
30      generic control variables via
31      #define ALLOW_GENARR2D_CONTROL and/or #define ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL
32      Only required customization should be S/R ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F
33      (routine in repository contains example)
34    o pkg/exf:
35      - fix and refine checking of surface-relaxation setting when using EXF
36    o verification (adjoint exp):
37      - reduce length of simulation by half for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15
38        (std, seaice & seaice_dynmix) and exp tutorial_dic_adjoffline; update output.
39    o pkg/mom_common (mom_u/v_bottomdrag), pkg/shelfice (shelfice_u/v_drag)
40      - replace if statements KE.ne.0 with KE.gt.0 to avoid sqrt of negative numbers
41        of KE that can occur with aggressive optimization
42      + put quadratic bottom drag calculation in separated loops (only done if
43        using bottomDragQuadratic)
44    o model/src: CG2D_NSA
45      - clean-up:  stop if cg2dNormaliseRHS=T and AUTODIFF
46         and replace GLOBAL_SUM calls with GLOBAL_SUM_TILE.
47      - in test-exp that uses CG2D_NSA (bottom_ctrl & tutorial_tracer_adjsens),
48         change cg2d residual target to be expressed in Wunits (=> do not normalise
49         RHS ; this fix global_max Pb with TAF); update output.
50    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
51       improve parameter consistency (and get rid of warnings):
52       - use deltaTFreeSurf=deltaTtracer (better with NonLin FreeSurf);
53       - switch Temp Adv Scheme from 81 to 80 (no limiter since theta < 0 is physical)
54       - use staggerTimeStep (for stability) in som81; use default rotation period.
55    o pkg/exch2:
56      - with empty facet: fix compact-format (W2_mapIO=1) definition (was previously
57        reset to 0 = 1 long line in X)
58    o pkg/mdsio:
59      - fix reading of dimensions from meta file for large-size domain
60    o model/src:
61      - fix saltIsActiveTr setting for IdealGas eosType (eosType is 6 character long);
62      - to refine CS-grid check, add logical flag "hasWetCSCorners": true if using
63        Cubed-Sphere Exch with CS-corners inside the domain;
64        make new S/R INI_GLOBAL_DOMAIN from code in ini_linear_phisurf.F to calculate
65        globalArea and to set hasWetCSCorners.
66      - add warning if usingCurvilinearGrid and momAdvection in flux-form (missing
67        metric terms); stop if hasWetCSCorners=T and momAdvection in flux-form.
68      - re-activate the stop if useCDscheme and hasWetCSCorners=T (previously if
69        useCDscheme and useCubedSphereExchange).
70    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F :
71      - compute the SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX term accordingly
72        for the (.NOT.useRealFreshWaterFlux).OR.(nonlinFreeSurf.EQ.0)
73        when the previous code was not correct.
74      - in all cases diagnoze the boundary condition mismatch to SIaaflux
75      - in the case of useRealFreshWaterFlux.AND.(nonlinFreeSurf.GT.0) add
76        that term to QNET (essentially to set the melt/freeze water to 0degC).
77        when SEAICEheatConsFix is true, so that the ocean+ice budget heat is closed.
78    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice :
79      - add SEAICEheatConsFix in data.seaice, ensuring closed ocean+ice heat budget.
80      - add diagnostics (commented out) for budget test using my matlab codes (gcmfaces).
81      - update results (output.seaice.txt) accordingly.
82    o verification/lab_sea/input/data.seaice :
83      - remove SEAICEheatConsFix, which is now be tested
84        in global_ocean.cs32x15. The presently coded fix
85        is only consistent with real fresh water + nlfs.
86      - update results (output.txt) accordingly.
87    o pkg/salt_plume: added diagnotic for salt tendency (oceSPtnd).
88    o AD_CONFIG.h file:
89      - in genmake2: remove "#undef ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION" from AD_CONFIG.h;
90      - remove #include "AD_CONFIG.h" from all included OPTIONS files and
91        add it explicitly in each fortran src file where it is needed.
92        motivation: header file AD_CONFIG.h is generated/modified after "make depend"
93        thus introducing potentially wrong dependency; therefore, better to include
94        it only where it's really needed, and after any other included OPTIONS file
95        (less tempting to bring conditional includes according to ALLOW_ADJOINT_RUN
96        or ALLOW_TANGENTLINEAR_RUN).
97    
98    checkpoint63p (2012/07/06)
99    o pkg/autodiff:
100      - rename S/R INI_AUTODIFF to AUTODIFF_INIT_VARIA ;
101      - create new header file "AUTODIFF_PARAMS.h" for pkg/autodiff parameters
102        which are now read from new parameter file "data.autodiff" (inAdExact
103        previously in "data", use{KPP/GMRedi/SEAICE}inAdMode previously in data.pkg)
104      - add file "data.autodiff" in all verification/*/input_ad/ directories.
105      - add run-time parameter to turn On/Off SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT in adjoint/forward
106        mode (used in global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix test exp.)
107    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
108      - add extra sub-verification which uses "SOM" advection scheme
109        (2nd Order-Moment Advection Scheme, Prather Limiter) with
110          #define GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV in GAD_OPTIONS.h
111        and in data:
112          multiDimAdvection=.TRUE.,
113          tempAdvScheme=81,
114          saltAdvScheme=81,
115    o model/src:
116      - introduce ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX which allow the removal
117       of the global mean of relaxation terms by setting
118       balanceThetaClimRelax and balanceSaltClimRelax
119      - disable balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet in the case when useSeaice.
120       This case is now treated appropriately in seaice_growth.F
121    o pkg/seaice:
122      - do balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet based on the net fluxes
123        (SItflux) that enter the ocean+ice system rather than QNET
124        and EMPMR. Works best in real fresh water.
125      - SIatmFW, SIatmQnet, and SItflux computations had to be moved
126        out of the diagnotics bloc, and stored in global arrays.
127    
128    checkpoint63o (2012/06/29)
129    o vertical mixing schemes:
130      - remove unused S/R CALC_BUOYANCY (left from branch-atmos merging)
131      - replace computation of density (in Function STATE1, opps_calc.F) by a call
132        to S/R FIND_RHO_SCALAR
133      - pass sigmaR to S/R PP81_CALC, MY82_CALC (but not yet used) and to GGL90_CALC
134        and use it for N^2 calculation in ggl90_calc.F (save 2 density computations);
135        affects output (vermix.ggl90) at truncation level.
136    o testreport:
137      - change adjustment of SIZE.h for mpi+mth testing: preserve enough tiles
138        (nSx,nSy) for the number of threads (from eedata.mth)
139    o model/src:
140      - remove 2nd set of calls at the top of initialise_varia.F (Adjoint part)
141        related to Non_Lin Free-Surf or Bottom-Control (but not longer necessary).
142    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
143      - compile with ALLOW_CG2D_NSA
144      - run with nonlinFreeSurf=3
145      - update reference output_adm.txt
146    o tools/genmake2:
147      - add "-DHAVE_NETCDF" to the DEFINES list when NetCDF is available ;
148        refine usePROFILES switching off (only when NetCDF is not available).
149    o verification (atmospheric set-up):
150      - change eosType='IDEALGAS' to eosType='IDEALG' to match variable declaration
151    o pkg/profiles : refine profiles and files handling.
152    o model/src and pkg/ecco : introduce run-time switch usePROFILES.
153    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F and pkg/exf/EXF_OPTIONS.h :
154      - changes to use model/src/the_main_loop.F rather than the ecco version
155        in ecco type adjoint runs.
156    o model/src:
157      - move computation of recip of grid distance & area from INI_MASKS_ETC to INI_GRID
158      - move setting of h0Fac[C,W,S] from INI_LINEAR_PHISURF to INI_MASKS_ETC
159      - update_masks_etc.F: rename SMOOTH*_R4,R8 function to the corresponding type (RS,RL)
160    o model/src:
161      - fix S/R UPDATE_CG2D for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL case (was empty before);
162        update output of test experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5.
163    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
164      - implement vertical bi-harmonic diffusion (for now, only for T & S and
165        only explicitly).
166    o verification/bottom_ctrl_5x5/
167      update reference output (results changed quite some time ago,
168      not sure when; but new reference results look ok in terms of grdchk)
169    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/
170      For verification purposes, the exact adjoint rather than an approx.
171      should be used (e.g., to comare against F.D. or TLM).
172      removed autodiff_inadmode*_ad.F routines in code_ad/
173      Update results/ accordingly.
174    o pkg/cal:
175      - change cal_getdate.F so that output date is function of input time only
176        (less ambiguous, not mixed up with input iteration number).
177      - fix calendarDumps for non-zero phase-lag (S/R CAL_TIME2DUMP).
178    o pkg/diagnostics:
179      - implement calendarDumps also for stats-diags
180      - implement calendarDumps also for snap-shot output (negative freq)
181      - for now, ignores calendarDumps if non-zero phase-lag.
182    
183    checkpoint63n (2012/06/04)
184    o model/src:
185      - recompute rSurfW & S to ensure consistent column thickness (needed for rStar)
186        between Sum_k(hFac*drF) and rSurf-rLow, for now only when using pkg/shelfice;
187      - use h0FacC, W & S to compute hFac_surfC, W & S in calc_surf_dr.F (more
188        similar to calc_r_star.F); update results of experiment internal_wave and
189        tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
190    o pkg/shelfice:
191      - add parameterisation of advective-diffusive flux into the ice shelf
192        according to Holland and Jenkins (1999), eq.22-33, as suggested by Jan De Ryd
193      - simply eps3/3a computation
194    o eesupp:
195     - add new CPP option (DISCONNECTED_TILES) to disconnect tiles (no exchange
196       between tiles, just fill-in edges assuming locally periodic subdomain) and
197       add corresponding exchange subroutines (EXCH0);
198     - new CG-solver version (_EX0) for disconnected-tiles special case.
199    o model/src (CG-solvers):
200     - modify Single-Reduction version (CG2D_SR) in case cg2dMaxIters is reached
201       (similar final residual output and max-Iter number as with standard version);
202     - allows to store and use lowest-residual solution (standard & _SR versions);
203     - cleaning up (remove old, commented out code, LETS_MAKE_JAM ...).
204     - by default, also compile CG2D_SR version (define ALLOW_SRCG in CPP_OPTIONS.h)
205    o eesup/src:
206     - global_vec_sum.F cleaning: add a BARRIER ; update comments ; remove ndef
207       ALWAYS_USE_MPI (no longer needed after fixing usingMPI settings - March 2012)
208    o pkg/salt_plume added to lab_sea/input_ad.noseaicedyn
209    
210    checkpoint63m (2012/04/27)
211    o pkg/shelfice:
212     - account for partical cells in surface level below ice-shelf for hydrostatic
213       pressure calculion (set uniformFreeSurfLev to F); update isomip experiments.
214    o ad test experiments:
215     - update and rename to "ad_optfile.local" local AD-optfile specific to a
216       particular adjoint verification experiment (in verification/*/code_ad/)
217    o pkg/seaice & pkg/exf:
218     - Part two of ECCO-CLIVAR code merges.
219       Completes merge of seaice area relax. code.
220       Requires unified CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX
221       to be set in EXF_OPTIONS.h since this pkg controls its I/O
222       (and avoids second CPP option in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
223     - change default value of costIceStart & costIceEnd to a valid date.
224     - add snowPrecip to HSNOW in seaice_growth
225    o pkg/ptracers:
226     - move ptracers summary and setup check into separated S/R ; add a check for
227       valid PTRACERS_Iter0 value (error+stop or just warning).
228    o pkg/cal (+ pkg/ecco):
229     - avoid calling a S/R with 2 times the same arg (FWD: unless both are only used
230       as input; and for AD, unless both are not differentiable (e.g., k index)).
231    o model/src:
232     - define internal flag "uniformFreeSurfLev" (=T when free-surface level-index
233       is everywhere k=1) to speed-up some calculations (by pass kSurf reference);
234       temporary set to usingZCoords value (to be changed to F when using shelfice).
235     - hydrostatic pressure: implement partial cell near the surface also for
236       Z-coordinates (for the case where uniformFreeSurfLev=F); replace test on
237       usingZCoords with test on uniformFreeSurfLev where needed (in NonHyd code).
238    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_init.F:
239     - add a formal parameter to s/r ctrl_init_rec to print
240       xx_$(ctrl_valiable)_file for easier debugging
241     - move call of cal_* routines into the if-block where they are really
242       needed so that xx_$(ctrl_variable)_period can be 0 or -12 without having
243       to specify a startdate
244    o pkg/seaice:
245     - update comments in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (+ similar update of lab_sea/code and
246       global_ocean.cs32x15/code versions).
247     - turn on seaice Multi-category (in data.seaice, SEAICE_multDim=7) for
248       verification experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice and update results.
249    o pkg/exf:
250     - new S/R EXF_GETFIELD_START to return starting-time of a forcing field
251       (according to useExfYearlyFields).
252    o pkg/cal:
253     - move calendar setting & summary (previously in cal_readparams.F) into new
254       S/R CAL_INIT_FIXED to be called later in the initialisation process, once
255       length of the simulation is set (after SET_PARMS call); This is an attempt
256       to fix Pb when, e.g.: pkg/longstep, modifies the length of the run.
257     - For safety: keep a record of pkg/cal parameter settings status
258               to allow to STOP if one pkg/cal S/R is called too early.
259     - add a stop in all basic pkg/cal subroutines if called before setting is done.
260     - modify cal_getdate.F: stop when nothing was returned;
261       if called with myIter=-1, simply retrun modelBaseDate (1,2 = startDate_1,_2);
262       this allows to remove "cal.h" from seaice_read_parms.F & init_mnc_vars.F.
263    
264    checkpoint63l (2012/04/04)
265    o pkg/bbl:
266      - fix call to FIND_RHO_2D in bbl_calc_rho.F (case multi-tiles per proc);
267        update global_with_exf output.yearly.txt file.
268    o pkg/cal:
269      - start to clean-up cal_set.F ; fix for the case where baseTime is non-zero.
270      - remove 2 unsused and very short (1 line only) functions ;
271      - remove unsused subroutines from AD-Diff list.
272    o model/src:
273      - start to implement clean wait to stop in initialization S/R (config_check.F,
274         packages_check.F, ini_parms.F and pkg/obcs/obcs_check.F + pkg/mypackage)
275    o folowing PRINT_MESSAGE changes:
276      - remove reminder multiple print to the same file (STDOUT) when multi-threads.
277    o pkg/bbl:
278      - modification so it can work with z*
279      - replace deltaT with dTtracerLev(k) for asynchronous time stepping
280      - global_with_exf/input.yearly verification; changes output.yearly.txt
281    o eesupp/src:
282      - PRINT_MESSAGE: use OpenMP critical instruction (similar to PRINT_ERROR);
283        writing to unit 0 (if unit=errorMessageUnit) extended to the case myThid=1
284      - CHECK_THREADS: specific code if using OpenMP threading: improve checking of
285        # of threads across processors (e.g., different env OMP_NUM_THREADS setting)
286      - improve special preliminary call to EESET_PARMS (if eedata is read 2 times).
287      - when using MPI, always set usingMPI=T ; set default accordingly and stop
288        if not consistent.
289      - ALL_PROC_DIE: add a BARRIER after MPI_FINALIZE call ; skip this when thread
290        argument is zero (in case called within single-thread section).
291    o pkg/fizhi:
292        clean-up turbulence cold-start switch: decided in fizhi_init_vars.F, stored
293        in common bloc (fizhi_coms.h) and then passed as argument up to S/R TURBIO.
294    o pkg/exch2:
295      - add argument "updateCorners" to S/R exch2_get_uv_bounds (enable to
296        activate EXCH_IGNORE_CORNERS in vector EXCH S/R).
297      - switch 1rst EXCH call to IGNORE_CORNERS (instead of UPDATE_CORNERS)
298        but keep the 2nd with UPDATE_CORNERS: this prevents overwriting good data
299        with bad ones coming from a not-yet-updated halo.
300        This should fix the problem when sNx <> sNy and GCD(sNx,sNy) < 2*Olx.
301    o pkg/frazil:
302        move FrzForcT diag from frazil_diagnostics_state.F to frazil_calc_rhs.F
303        http://mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2012-March/005384.html
304    o model/src/config_check.F: add a check for OLx>sNx/OLy>sNy
305    o verification/lab_sea
306      * #undef SEAICE_EXCLUDE_FOR_EXACT_AD_TESTING
307      * #define ALLOW_SST_CONTROL & ALLOW_SST_CONTROL
308      * nTimeSteps 3 -> 4
309      * changed reference output accordingly
310    o pkg/ctrl:
311      * fix ctrl_get_gen for xx_sst, xx_sss
312    o pkg/fizhi:
313      - fix 2 calls to S/R GRD2MSC (argument igrd) in update_earth_exports.F
314        update results of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (fail with only 6 digits for cg2d)
315      - by default, use new version of S/R GETPWHERE (#define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE);
316        fix few out-of-bounds indices in referencing vars (initialise igrd to 1);
317        clean-up fizhi_turb.F (remove unused & uninitialised qdiaglsm array).
318    o pkg/gmredi:
319      - add diagnostic of Redi (main diagnonal) vertical diffusive flux of Temp
320    o pkg/fizhi:
321      - fix few initialisation and multi-tile Pb: aqualev & gridalt now pass the
322        (old)aces open64 tuv test.
323    o pkg/icefront: fix bug and reorder loop in icefront_init_varia.F
324    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
325      - fix 1 loop range in mom_vecinv.F to be like all the other loops which
326        set/update gu,gv/Diss (fix Pb of uninitialised fVerUkp in admom_vecinv
327        with non-lin free-surf).
328    o model/src: move k-loop outside of i/j-loops when (re-)computing R_low
329      in ini/update_masks_etc.F in order to avoid -O3 optimization problems with
330      some compilers (gfortran 4.6.0 on MacOS)
331    o momentum:
332      - separate fVer?(:,:,kUp) & fVer?(:,:,kDown) in argument list of MOM_FLUXFORM
333        & MOM_VECINV subroutines (to help TAF). This fixes Pb of uninitialised
334        fVer?(kUp) in admom_fluxform with non-lin free-surf or bottom control.
335    
336    checkpoint63k (2012/03/17)
337    o model/src:
338       - selectAddFluid (ALLOW_ADDFLUID): add missing term in horizontal momentum
339         flux-form (mom_fluxform.F) and vertical momentum (calc_gw.F) equations.
340       - SOLVE_DIAGONAL: switch default to use adjoinable & vectorized version
341         (#undef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY); update output of exp. front_relax.bvp.
342    o model/src: solve_*diagonal.F
343       - replace division with multiplication by inverse (similar to original version)
344         update output of AD exp. global_ocean.90x40x15.
345       - fix pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_psi_bvp.F & pkg/ggl90/ggl90_calc.F
346         to enable the use of the vectorized & differentiable solve_tridiagonal.F
347       - test exp. global_ocean.90x40x15/input_ad: switch to advection scheme 20 for
348         vertical advection (to get solve_tridiagonal tested in AD mode).
349    o pkg/seaice: ECCO-CLIVAR merge:
350      1. seaice AREA relaxation
351         * CPP option: SEAICE_ALLOW_AREA_RELAXATION
352         * runtime flag: SEAICE_tauAreaObsRelax
353      2. modified global mean cost imbalance code: CPP option
354          ALLOW_SSH_GLOBMEAN_COST_CONTRIBUTION
355    o another iteration on solve_*diagonal.F
356       Make choices independent of AUTODIFF
357       Default will be the adjoinable vectorized version.
358       Alternative choices are:
359       * non-adjoinable original version with low memory footprint:
360         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY
361       * still adjoinable but does not vectorize (k as inner-most loop):
362         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER (keeping SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY undef)
363    o testreport
364     - add option to use a home made wrapper around "make"
365     - remove MITGCM_IEEE env. variable (no longer active)
366    o pkg/shelfice
367     - improve computation of friction velocity for velocity dependent
368       exchange coefficients: include velocities into SHELFICEBoundaryLayer
369       block to average velocities vertically
370     - add TAF store directives for SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
371    o Modify diagonal solvers, now three versions (upon request):
372      #ifndef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF
373        1. default version (dating back a while ago)
374      #else /* def SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
375      # ifdef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER
376        2. adjoinable version with k-innermost loop (G. Forget)
377      # else
378        3. adjoinable vectorized version of 2.
379      # endif
380      #endif /* SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
381      All flags are currently set within routines, but could/should be moved to CPP-options.
382      Array bounds for 1. are as before, for 2.,3. cover the entire domain
383      (could be changed for 1. too).
384    o verification/lab_sea (fwd):
385      - update the 4 fwd lab_sea test experiment: no longer SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
386        use 7 categories (except hb87), new solve4temp params (except salt_plume),
387        constant salinity (=4) or variable salinity (salt_plume) done through
388        SItracer.
389    o pkg/seaice:
390      - rename parameters: SIsalFrac to SEAICE_saltFrac & SIsal0 to SEAICE_salt0;
391      - remove old parameters ( SEAICE_freeze, SEAICEturbFluxFormula, SEAICE_gamma_t,
392         SEAICE_gamma_t_frz, SEAICE_availHeatTaper & SEAICE_availHeatFracFrz)
393        from SEAICE_PARMS.h ; still need to fix seaice_cost_sst.F (broken when
394        SEAICE_freeze got retired) but already better than previously with
395        SEAICE_freeze=123456.7 deg.C;
396      - move setting of facOpenGrow/Melt from SEAICE_INIT_FIXED to SEAICE_READPARMS
397        (safer multi-threaded setting); always set SEAICEuseEVP;
398      - setting of ocean-ice turb. flux coeff: moved from SEAICE_CHECK to
399        SEAICE_READPARMS & SEAICE_INIT_FIXED (this fixes wrong summary report);
400        stop if multiple specifications for the same coeff; make sure default
401        SEAICE_mcPheePiston is compatible with drF(1) & deltaT.
402    o pkg/obcs:
403      - allow to switch to upwind 1rst order advection scheme for the advective
404        flux computation at the open-boundary; disabled for adjoint built.
405    o pkg/ptracers:
406      - rename PTRACERS_RESTART.h -> PTRACERS_START.h
407      - rename ptracers_fields_blocking_exchanges.F -> ptracers_fields_blocking_exch.F
408      - add parameter to decide when to start a tracer; use internal flag to
409        know which tracer to step-forward; switch this internal flag at the top
410        of forward_step.F (new S/R PTRACERS_SWITCH_ONOFF); for now, not enabled
411        for adjoint built.
412    o pkg/seaice:
413      - add SEAICE_SIZE.h anywhere in the code where SEAICE.h is included ;
414      - move MULTDIM declaration and setting from SEAICE.h to SEAICE_SIZE.h ;
415      - keep experiment offline_exf_seaice truly single category (set MULTDIM=1).
416    o pkg/ecco:
417      - fix writing of output file DiagnosCost_ClimSalt/Theta
418        and DiagnosCost_DriftSalt/Theta (if multi-tiles per proc).
419    o pkg/seaice:
420      - add missing initialisation of COR_ICE array in dynsolver.F
421      - merging SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY define and undef cases. Now the same code is
422        compiled either way, and is tested in all exps (multidim was only tested
423        in lab_sea ad before).
424      - cosmetic change to prepare for future addition of ITD. no change to results.
425        no defaults change.
426      - added run time param SEAICE_multDim (7 for SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY, 1 otherwise).
427      - by lack of adequate verification experiments, I further used custom versions
428        of global_ocean.cs32x15 to test multicat or not, with pickup or not. All
429        should be correct.
430      - avoid recomputations in ad.
431    o array initialisation in adjoint mode:
432      1) pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_ke.F:
433        add full array initialisation of KE inside mom_calc_ke.F (ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC):
434        The S/R which calls MOM_CALC_KE initialises KE but in some recomputation
435        part this initialisation is gone, resulting in Floating Point Exception
436        (caught by open64 compiler with debug option).
437      2) model/src/convective_weights.F
438        set output convectCount over the full array range (instead of doing
439        an update): this fix a similar issue when called within recomputation (adjoint)
440        which could by-pass the initialisation (normally done in the caller S/R).
441    o pkg/seaice:
442      - final version of turbulent flux params, as agreed at MIT ice meet:
443           SEAICE_mcPheePiston (default is ~ 0.000875)
444           SEAICE_mcPheeTaper (default is 0.)
445           SEAICE_frazilFrac (defualt is 1.)
446           SEAICE_mcPheeStepFunc (default is false)
447      - changes results at trunction error level
448      - ifdef SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES, disallow SEAICE_waterAlbedo
449    o added pkg/frazil:
450      - see frazil_description.tex for details
451      - verification experiment is global_with_exf/input.yearly; changes output.yearly.txt
452    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F
453      - fix exponents for velocity dependent exchange coefficients: change
454        from 2/3(=0) to 0.66666666666666667
455      - move computation of velocity dependent exchange coefficients into
456        separate loop, so that it applies to both thermodynamics
457      - move some divisions by constants out of loops
458    
459    checkpoint63j (2012/02/16)
460    o pkg/seaice:
461      - overhaul of seaice_summary.F after feb 2012 clean-up of seaice_growth.F etc.
462      - SItracer:  added run time params, and allow coupling to ocn salinity.
463    o pkg/seaice: remove (almost) all divisions by constants within loops
464      in seaice_growth.F and seaice_solve4temp.F, this changes (only) the cg2d
465      results of global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice from 16 to 11 digits (but only
466      those, caused by 1/QI -> recip_QI) -> update output.seaice.txt,
467      output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt and also lab_sea: output_adm.evp.txt
468    o pkg/seaice :
469      - simplify McPhee tapering, and allow to use it with SEAICEturbFluxFormula
470        = 1 or 2, using newly added run time parameter SEAICE_availHeatTaper.
471      - fix d_AREAbyATM, d_AREAbyOCN, d_AREAbyICE diags I broke in r1.148.
472      - add permanent SItflux diag that corresponds to TFLUX but includes
473        ice+snow. Hence SItflux-TFLUX should match the ice+snow heat budget.
474      - allow activation/testing of a fix for suspected missing term in
475        ocn-ice heat budget (to be confirmed). To test this, you want to
476        undef SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX, and then set the run time param
477        SEAICEheatConsFix to .TRUE. that also allows the 'SIaaflux' diagnostic.
478      - no change in results, fwd or ad.
479    o global_ocean.cs32x15/results: 3 changes following from the pkg/seaice commit below:
480      - switch to variable freezing point.
481           Results change : cg2d -> 1 digits; ad -> 3-6-6 digits.
482      - bug fix : the sublimation term that was missing is now activated.
483           Results change : cg2d -> 2 digits; ad -> 8-6-6 digits.
484      - bug fix : flooding sign term for SIsal0.NE.0.
485           Result change : cg2d -> 8 digits; ad -> 11-12-9 digits.
486    o pkg/seaice:
487      - unified freezing point treatment : the old SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT
488        is now the default, and the old default constant freezing point is recovered
489        with SEAICE_tempFrz0    = -1.96,
490             SEAICE_dTempFrz_dS = 0.,
491      - retire SEAICE_freeze (= the old way of specifycing the constant freezing point)
492      - remove ALLOW_SEAICE_FLOODING brackets; run time switch is already there.
493      - bug fix (thanks to M. Losch) : the sublimation term that was missing is now
494        activated. To reproduce old results with this bug define SEAICE_DISABLE_SUBLIM.
495      - bug fix (silly me) : flooding sign term (seaice_growth.F r 1.149line 1211)
496        was wrong for SIsal0.NE.0. Changes cs32x15 results (see above item for detail).
497      - bug fix (thanks to O. Jahn) : area loss for melting  got messed up in
498        seaice_growth r149 for legacy branch (no results change).
499      - introduce SEAICE_CAP_SUBLIM : caps sublimation heat flux in solve4temp (code
500        from I. Fenty).
501      - results did not change except for global_ocean.cs32x15, mostly due to the
502        switch to variable freezing point (see above item for detail).
503    o pkg/thsice:
504      - fix and simplify interface to salt_plume pkg ; diagnose directly amount of
505        seawater freezing in thsice_calc_thickn (not used).
506    o pkg/seaice: turbulent flux term specification via run time params.
507      - replace CPP switches with run time switches to facilitate testing
508      - retired CPPs : MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX,
509                       GRADIENT_MIXED_LAYER_TURBULENCE_FACTOR
510      - added runtime parameter : SEAICEturbFluxFormula
511      - move Mcphee constants to SEAICE_PARAMS.h
512      - seaice_readparms.F : read turbulent flux term params (SEAICEturbFluxFormula;
513                 SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, or SEAICE_gamma_t/_frz if apply);
514                 remove seaice_summary call (moved to seaice_init_fixed)
515      - seaice_init_fixed.F : set SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz depending on
516        SEAICEturbFluxFormula, and seaice_summary call (moved from seaice_readparms)
517      - seaice_summary.F : add missing report of read turbulent flux term set up
518                           and SITRACER.
519      - seaice_check.F : check range; inform and stop if retired CPPs are used
520                         (incl. SEAICE_AGE).
521      - seaice_growth.F : unified use of SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, without
522             CPP switch, same computation as before for the different options.
523      - change results at the truncation level.
524    o pkg/seaice:
525      - remove un-used parameters LAD & MAX_TICE ; add new run-time parameters:
526        useMaykutSatVapPoly (default=F), postSolvTempIter (default=2) and
527        SEAICE_wetAlbTemp (default=-1e-3). Remove option SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
528      - update verification/*/input*/data.seaice:
529        to reproduce previous results with former #defined SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
530        code, set useMaykutSatVapPoly=T & postSolvTempIter=0 ;
531        and to reproduce previous results with former non-SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY code,
532        set SEAICE_wetAlbTemp=0 & SEAICE_snowThick=0.
533    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY):
534      - remove LEGACY code for solving for tsurf (A1,A2,A3) but maintain the same
535        algorithm (same choice: useMaykutPolySatVap=T, postSolvTempIter=0);
536        difference in results only due to machine truncation.
537      - remove MAX_TICE (tsurf is always =< TMELT anyway); keep MIN_TICE if using
538        MaykutPolySatVap; keep MIN_LWDOWN.
539      - adapt SEAICE_MODIFY_GROWTH_ADJ code (untested) to non-legacy formulation.
540      - update output of verification exp. lab_sea (4 fwd: 11 cg2d digits except hb87,
541        + 3 AD: 6 digits except evp) and offline_exf_seaice.seaice (12 digits).
542    o pkg/salt_plume:
543      - isolate saltPlumeFlux array exch into a specific S/R called from
544        do_oceanic_phys.F
545      - add interface to pkg/salt_plume (filling of saltPlumeFlux) in pkg/thsice.
546    o verification:
547      - move untested set-up to MITgcm_contrib/verification_other.
548    o pkg/seaice:
549      - retire old way of SEAICE_AGE. Now replaced with ALLOW_SITRACER.
550    o pkg/seaice:
551      - seaice_solve4temp.F (keeping results unchanged):
552        * add 2 future run-time params to select which saturation vapor pressure
553          formula is used and how post-iteration fluxes are set.
554          Temporary set these 2 params according to option SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY;
555        * New piece of code (not used) to update surf. atmos. heat flux F_ia using
556          the linearized expression to stay consistent with tsurf finding.
557      - seaice_freedrift.F avoid floating exception in sqrt(y) since y=sqrt(x*x)-x
558        can be < 0.
559    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY undef):
560      - remove from F_ia (and from it's derivative dFiDTs1) the contribution of
561        conductive heat flux F_c , and add it explicitly when updating tsurf as
562        solution of: Fc = Fia + d/dT(Fia - Fc) *delta.tsurf
563        so that now F_ia has a consistent meaning through the entire routine.
564        This causes differences at truncation level: update output of fwd exp.
565        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice.
566    o pkg/seaice:
567      - lots of editing/cleaning in seaice_solve4temp.F + better documentation
568        of arrays, sign/direction of fluxes; no effect on results.
569      - replace hard coded 273.16 (=previous value of celsius2K) by celsius2K
570        in seaice_budget_ocean.F & seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY part);
571        note: this should have been done before changing celsius2K default.
572      - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
573        exp. input*/data : lab_sea (AD), offline_exf_seaice (fwd+AD) & seaice_obcs
574      - replace hard coded seawater freezing temp in seaice_solve4temp.F (part
575        SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY) of 271.20 (=previous value of celsius2K + default
576        value of SEAICE_freeze) by celsius2K+SEAICE_freeze so that seawater
577        freezing temp is consistent with value in seaice_growth.F ; this causes
578        differences at machine truncation level: update lab_sea AD output (3/4).
579    o pkg/seaice:
580      - mask (in exf_init_fixed.F) atemp,aqh,evap,precip,runoff,lwflx,areamask
581        and climsst/sss even when using seaice (to prevent calculation that might
582        use SST on land); does not affect any verification exp.
583      - apply mask to taux,tauy (in seaice_get_dynforcing.F); update output
584        of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 and global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix.
585    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: add mask to avoid non-zero ice thickness
586      over land (non-legacy code)
587    o vectorize salt_plume package:
588      - add extra code to salt_plume_frac and salt_plume_tendency_apply_s
589      - this code computes plumebk everywhere (also over land), thus requires
590        code to avoid divisions by zero and catch the case of kLev=Nr.
591      - efficiency of salt_plume_frac is still sub-optimal
592    o tools (genmake2):
593      - fix makefile NAME specification (option: -makefile NAME) by adding
594        "-f $MAKEFILE" in few places where it was missing including makedepend
595        command (contribution from Paul).
596    
597    checkpoint63i (2012/01/24)
598    o model/src:
599      - add factorized versions of some EOS code to find_rho.F,
600        define USE_FACTORIZED_EOS to turn it on (default for TARGET_NEC_SX)
601    o model/src:
602      - add celsius2K to namelist PARM01; remove unused recip_rhoNil from PARAMS.h;
603      - change default celsius2K from 273.16 to 273.15
604      - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
605        exp. input*/data : aim.5l_cs, 1D_ocean_ice_column, lab_sea (fwd),
606         global_ocean.cs32x15(seaice) & cpl_aim+ocn(input_atm).
607    o model/src: add a little initialisation trick to find_rho.F and find_alpha.F
608      to make TAF generate vectorizable code
609    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: add code (copied from CICE) that avoids underflows.
610       Turn on by defining SEAICE_EVP_ELIMINATE_UNDERFLOWS. Most compilers
611       have flags that do this more efficiently.
612    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F
613      - for TARGET_NEC_SX fix the treatment of the scaling factor tmpFac=scaleFact
614    o pkg/obcs (with exch2):
615      - derive OB indices in overlap region from OB-InsideMask (in obcs_init_fixed.F)
616        and remove code (in obcs_readparms.F) which was based on EXCH of indices
617        (through buffer) and did not account for exch2 (e.g., CS-grid) topology.
618    o pkg/exf and seaice exp:
619      - change offline_exf_seaice.seaicetd test exp. to use default DIFF1 value (=0)
620        so that switching off area & heff advection flags does not affect results.
621      - change default EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY to #define in EXF_OPTIONS.h
622      - keep exp. seaice_obcs & 1D_ocean_ice_column(ad) unchanged (using #undef
623        EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY) and, using pkg/exf default emissivities, update
624        results of verification experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column(fwd),
625        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice(fwd+ad) & seaice_dynmix(ad), lab_sea (all 8)
626        and offline_exf_seaice (all 4).
627    o pkg/seaice:
628      - remove array YNEG, RIVER, TMIX (replaced by local var) from common block;
629        remove also areaNm1 & hEffNm1 when SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY is undef.
630      - fix bug: areaNm1 & hEffNm1 are needed in seaice_growth (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY)
631        but were not filled when resp. SEAICEadvArea=F & SEAICEadvHeff=F and
632        not multi-dim advection;
633      - fix seaice_growth.F to compile with both SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and
634        SHORTWAVE_HEATING #undef.
635    o optim: make Makefile more robust (?)
636    o pkg/obcs:
637      * fix treatment of obcs_read_pickup for TAF
638    o pkg/shelfice:
639      * add missing initialisation of num_shifwflx
640      * new adjoint verification exp. for isomip
641      * change Prandtl and Schmidt numbers from generic formulations
642        (in terms of model diffus. and visc.) to separate runtime
643        parameters, with Holland and Jenkins (1999) default values.
644    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
645      - extended input field (2 rows) near the N & S poles:
646        * fill in with the symetric value (when even Nb of data in longitude)
647        * add average value at the poles only for scalar quantities ; for vector
648          component interpolation, skip the averaging and keep duplicated values,
649          unless the 2 components have same location (uvInterp=T) in which case
650          interpolate the 2 components together using S/R EXF_INTERP_UV.
651      - new S/R EXF_INTERP_UV to interpolate the 2 components of a vector field
652        together: this allows to account properly for local orientation when
653        averaging at N & S pole.
654      - add CPP option EXF_USE_OLD_INTERP_POLE to recover old results regarding
655        exf-interpolation near N & S poles. Undef by default.
656      - add debug check/print on 1rst iter if debugLevel >=2.
657    o pkg/exf:
658      - change masking flags definition (no longer "parameter"), put them in
659        common block and set them in S/R EXF_INIT_FIXED.
660      - change recognized masking flag from s,u,v to c,w,s since the mask
661        to use (maskC,W,S) depends on position on model grid and has little to
662        do with scalar/vector difference; fix masking if using P-coordinates.
663      - fix masking of wind-stress (was wrong if interpolated or read on A-grid)
664        and update results of exp. global_with_exf (x2).
665      - fix setting of zenith-angle table when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is undef.
666    o pkg/obcs
667      - S/R obcs_calc_stevens: fix a small bug (gammat -> gammas where appropriate)
668    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
669      - assume periodicity in X only if input field cover full longitude range.
670      - improve search for lat. index (supposed to be faster, in ~log2(ny) steps,
671        and should vectorise).
672      - fix input lat of the 2 added row (in case we provide N.pole data).
673    
674    checkpoint63h (2011/12/30)
675    o pkg/seaice:
676      - change declaration of UVM from _RL to _RS in order to get B-grid
677        uIce,vIce monitor when _RS = real*4
678    o pkg/offline:
679      - new S/R OFFLINE_RESET_PARMS for resetting main-model params (switch off flags);
680      - compute vertical velocity if not read from file (switch on exactConserv
681        & staggerTimeStep);
682      - fix output of ptracer monitor iter & time for default PTRACERS_monitorFreq.
683    o verification:
684      - update grid-files (in tutorial_held_suarez_cs/input and fizhi-cs-32x32x40/input)
685        with grid-angle generated using "utils/matlab/cs_grid/cubeCalcAngle.m":
686        fix Pb in yG definition @ 2 missing corners (previously yG was averaged);
687      - update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4 after changing
688        grid-file angles (used here for coriolis-3d);
689      - remove (or gzip) few files not needed to run fizhi-cs experiments.
690    o pkg/exf (vector interpolation):
691      - rotate vector component toward local grid-axis orientation using grid-angles
692        (stored in GRID.h) instead of locally computed rotation angle; keep old code
693        available with exf option EXF_USE_OLD_VEC_ROTATION (undef by default).
694    o pkg/seaice:
695      - allow to compile with exf options ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_DOWNWARD_RADIATION
696        undefined. Fix and remove the stop when ALLOW_RUNOFF is undefined.
697    o pkg/PKG_OPTIONS.h files:
698      - move #include "CPP_OPTIONS.h" just after #include "PACKAGES_CONFIG.h",
699        outside of the #ifdef ALLOW_THISPKG / #endif block.
700      - update verification/*/code/PKG_OPTIONS.h files.
701    o add a verification experiment (offline_exf_seaice/input.seaice) that test
702      the B-grid LSOR solver
703    o pkg/seaice: sort out emissivity and long wave radiation step 2:
704      - add emissivity for snow and ice as new run-time parameters
705        (unfortunately) that default to the corresponding exf values; this
706        changes results in most verification experiments so that for backward
707        compatibility these parameter have to be set explicitly to inconsistent
708        values (ugly);
709      - the exf-flag EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY then gets rid off the hard-wired
710        emissivities of 0.97 associated with lwdownloc in S/R seaice_solve4temp
711        until we agree how to handle this bug properly
712    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
713      - add a set of run-time param ({inputfield}_interpMethod), one for
714        each interpolated input field, to select the interpolation method
715        with a value of zero switching off the interpolation;
716      - print interpolation parameters to standard output;
717      - refine exf_check.F accordingly ; stop if USE_NO_INTERP_RUNOFF is defined
718        (to use instead runoff_interpMethod=0 in data.exf).
719      - simplify default setting of interpolation parameters (for all fields,
720        set position to match model grid cell-center position, leading to trivial
721        interpolation in case of regular Lat-Lon grid) and fix for the case of
722        non-uniform delY.
723    o pkg/exf/exf_radiation.F: add the factor ocean_emissivity to lwdown, for
724       within #ifdef EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY/#endif. Unless ocean_emissivity=1.
725       this factor is absolutely required, because the lw exitance (= out-going
726       long wave radiation) is emissivity*stefanBoltzmann*T^4 + rho*lwdown,
727       where the reflectivity rho = 1-emissivity for conservation reasons. Once
728       this is established, we can remove the CPP-Flag (if we want to).
729    o pkg/seaice:
730      - qualify a stop statement in S/R seaice_check: EXF_READ_EVAP and
731        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE are only required if SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES is defined
732      - sort out emissivity and long wave radiation, step 1: make SEAICE_emissivity
733        what the name implies (and not emissivity*BoltzmannConstant), this means
734        the old default value of 5.5e-8 now means
735        5.5e-8/5.670e-8 = 0.97001763668430343479 as ocean_emissivity in
736        S/R exf_readparms
737      - FV-discretization of the B-grid LSOR solver, turn on with
738        SEAICE_LSRBNEW. This new solver also involves a slight re-organization
739        of the calling routine dynsolver, so that B and C-grid code look a
740        little more alike.
741      - fix index bugs in ostres.F (B-grid code)
742    o pkg/seaice/seaice_ocean_budget.F: change (unused) code to make it look better
743    o pkg/seaice/seaice_readparms.F: make ocean_emissivity*stefanBoltzmann the
744      default for SEAICE_emissivity, if useEXF; requires setting a wrong
745      parameter value in global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice/data.seaice for
746      backward compatiblity
747    o model/src: use sigmaR in calc_ivdc
748    
749    checkpoint63g (2011/12/16)
750    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
751      fix heat conservation of the coupled ocean-seaice system.
752      when SEAICE_HEAT_CONSERV_FIX is defined, the mismatch of
753      solid vs liquid water treatment is resolved via QNET.
754    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
755      add missing term for sublimation in saltFlux, which was breaking conservation.
756    o pkg/seaice/seaice_model.F:
757      Remove this patholigical case treatment in evolution branch,
758      where it is un-necessary and breaks conservation.
759      Update global_ocean.cs32x15/results accordingly for
760      output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt and output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt
761    o model/src:
762      useRealFreshWaterFlux: remove masking of EmPmP (using maskInC) in
763      external_forcing_surf.F and apply mask directly in S/R SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE.
764    o pkg/obcs:
765      modify Stevens boundary conditions so that S/R obcs_calc_stevens computes
766      tendency for temperature and salinity that is then applied to update
767      theta and salt in S/R obcs_apply_ts; this requires proper masking of all
768      horizontal advection and diffusion contributions on the boundary (in
769      S/Rs gad_advection, gad_calc_rhs, gmredi_rtransport, gmredi_calc_diff), and
770      removing the mask in S/R timestep_tracer. The advantage of this approach is
771      that the updated tracer values include contributions from the surface
772      forcing and vertical diffusion.
773      This modification changes exp4.stevens because of vertical diffusion.
774    o model/src:
775      change non-curvilinear grid setting to also work with exch2 + blank tiles:
776      - move delX,delY to new header file (SET_GRID.h) and adjust length to 1rst
777        face dimensions.
778      - new S/R INI_LOCAL_GRID to define model tile-local grid (using same units
779        as delX,delY) and called from S/R INI_CARTESIAN_GRID, INI_CYLINDER_GRID
780        and INI_SPHERICAL_POLAR_GRID.
781      change test-experiment global_ocean.90x40x15:
782      - split the domain in many more tiles (9x4 tiles of 10x10 each);
783      - switch to exch2 and remove 1 blank-tile (but only for MPI test).
784      - update results of both test (std & dwnslp).
785    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstat_calc.F: fix problem with non-initialised halos in
786       tmp-fields for TARGET_NEC_SX at the cost of extra loops and less vectorisation
787    o model/src:
788      - take sigma-coords related code out of update_etah.F into new S/R UPDATE_ETAWS
789        and fix initialisation when using sigma-coords.
790    o model/src:
791     - improve Gael's changes from Jan 14, 2011 "addition of an 'update' of hfacc etc.
792       to their current value at the beginning of forward_step.F": add a new run-time
793       switch "doResetHFactors" (default=false) and use it to do (or not) the resetting.
794     - set doResetHFactors=T in the following test exp:
795        global_ocean.90x40x15/input (rStar) & input.dwnslp (linFS),
796        global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice (rStar), hs94.cs-32x32x5/input.impIGW (linFS)
797        and tutorial_global_oce_in_p (nonLinFS in p)
798    o pkg/ecco
799      - added IES cost term
800    o verification/advect_xz
801      - scale down the depth by 1/100 (from 200 km to just 2.km)
802      - add secondary test using divergent flow, r-star and implicit vertical advection.
803      - add note (check_conserve_TS.txt) and matlab script to check global
804        conservation of T & S with NonLin-FreeSurf and Adams-Bashforth.
805    o pkg/rbcs:
806      - add missing relaxUFile & relaxVFile in namelist (in rbcs_readparms.F).
807    o pkg/obcs (Stevens BCs):
808      - fix various problems in the phase speed computations of the Stevens
809        boundary conditions:
810        - sign error for western and southern boundaries,
811        - time tendencies were underestimated by factor of dTracerLev and some just
812          zero (for multidim advection schemes) -> now estimate time tendencies
813          from difference between previous (n) time level and the one before (n-1);
814          this requires storing a field per tracer per boundary, also in the pickup
815          files.
816        - replace deltaTmom in cflMer/Zon computation with dTracerLev
817        - set default phase velocity to cflMer/Zon
818      - update verification experiment exp4.stevens
819    o pkg/generic_advdiff (implicit_r):
820      - fix implicit vertical advection conservation with AB and/or NonLin-FreeSurf
821        (remove Tr*d/dz(w) in gad_implicit_r.F and add it in gad_calc_rhs.F);
822      - fix implicit vertical diffusion or advection with NonLin FreeSurf
823        (was using current recip_hFacC instead of future recip_hFacC): set future
824        recip_hFac in thermodynamics.F and pass & use it in all vertical implicit
825        solver S/R ;
826      - fill diagnostics of vertical advective fluxes (computed from tendency)
827        when using implicit vert. advection;
828      - update output of exp that uses NonLin-FreeSurf & implicit vertical diffusion:
829         global_ocean.90x40x15 (fwd+AD), global_ocean.cs32x15 (4 fwd +4 AD),
830         tutorial_global_oce_in_p (fwd), tutorial_tracer_adjsens (AD)
831         and cpl_aim+ocn (used in ocean); to be fixed: bottom_ctrl_5x5.
832    o pkg/diagnostics:
833      - add diags for T & S tendency which goes through Adams-Bashforth.
834    
835    checkpoint63f (2011/11/30)
836    o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
837      - join some loops to reduce number of if-statements
838      - fix a bug in code for northern and southern boundaries.
839    o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_varia.F
840      - undo resetting UVM=0 that has slipped in unnoticed in r1.49 and
841        caused zero ice-velocities for the B-grid code
842    o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_fixed.F
843      - fix a bug in the initialisation of the second metric terms
844        k2AtC and k2AtZ: k2AtC was set to the value of k2AtZ and k2AtZ was 0.
845      - this affects all seaice configurations with useCurviLinearGrid = .true.
846        and SEAICEuseDynamics = .true. (default) and SEAICEuseMetricTerms
847        = .true. (default)
848      - the only verification experiment affected is global_ocean.cs32x15:
849        icedyn, seaice, and seaice_dynmix (AD)
850    o pkg/thsice/thsice_diagnostics_state.F
851      - only for TARGET_NEC_SX: initialise all of tmpFld, so that overlap does
852        not contain garbage that can lead to surprises in diagstats_calc.F
853    o model/src:
854      - move bi,bj loops inside INTEGR_CONTINUITY ;
855      - call INTEGR_CONTINUITY directly from forward_step.F
856        (previously called from momentum_correction_step.F)
857      - call UPDATE_ETAH from integr_continuity.F and update initialise_varia.F,
858        forward_step.F and pkg/ecco/the_main_loop.F
859    o model/src/do_oceanic_phys.F:
860      - reset addMass to zero only if useICEFRONT ;
861      - separated k-loop for rhoInSitu calculation ;
862      - add 2 diagnostics for wVel*delta^k(Rho) at constant pressure (= WdRHO_P)
863        and at constant T,S (= WdRHOdP);
864      NOTE: change diagnostics WRHOMASS : this is now simply the Vertical transport
865        of In-Situ Density (Anomaly) (=wVel*rho^bar-k) (previously was Vertical
866        transport of locally-referenced potential density);
867        to recover old diag: (WRHOMASS)_old = (WRHOMASS)_new -1/2 * (WdRHOdP)
868    o gluemnc:
869      - replace ncrcat with ncks when adding variables to *.glob.nc
870      - change the way variables without record dimensions are handled so that
871        files that have variables with and without record variables can be glued:
872        add a record dimension with a new unique name to be able to differentiate
873        between variable with and without a-prior record dimensions. Remove
874        this record dimension before adding the variable to the *.glob.nc file.
875        This procedure automatically works also for grid.*.nc files that do not
876        have any record dimension.
877    o verification/cpl_aim+ocn:
878      - generate new reference output on baudelaire (gfortran, mpich2) (previously
879        from old aces-grid cluster, ao + ifort) and update 'run_cpl_test' script.
880    o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
881      - add code for northern and southern boundaries.
882      - reorder some loops to save some operations and so that drFBar can be scalar
883    o model/src:
884      - re-arrange extrapolation calculation in Adams-Bashforth S/R (affects machine
885        truncation) and add diagnostics for Adams-Bashforth tendency increment.
886      - update test-exp. AD output:
887        1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5, lab_sea.noseaicedyn, obcs_ctrl;
888      and FWD output: exp4 (x3), fizhi-cs-32x32x40, fizhi-cs-aqualev20,
889        front_relax (x3), global_ocean.90x40x15 (x2), global_ocean.cs32x15 (x5),
890        global_ocean_ebm, ideal_2D_oce, internal_wave, isomip (x3), lab_sea (x4),
891        matrix_example, MLAdjust (x5), natl_box (x2), tutorial_advection_in_gyre,
892        tutorial_global_oce_in_p, tutorial_global_oce_latlon and
893        tutorial_plume_on_slope.
894    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F: add special code for TARGET_NEC_SX
895      that vectorises. This code uses 3 extra 2D fields, F90 array assignments
896      and F90 intrinsic routines SUM, MINVAL, MAXVAL, but since TARGET_NEC_SX
897      does not even come with an F77 compiler anymore, this should not be
898      a limitation
899    
900    checkpoint63e (2011/11/06)
901    o pkg/seaice adjoint of LSR:
902      - substantially rework STORE dirs.
903      - add new flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER and parameter SOLV_MAX_FIXED
904        this flag will do SOLV_MAX_ITERS but only store SOLV_MAX_FIXED fields
905        and only perform SOLV_MAX_FIXED adjoint iters.
906        If flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undef-ined, the store in the iteration
907        always goes to same record, meaning that the last forward field will be
908        the one used in the adjoint - an approximation.
909      - now produces non-zero LSR-related gradients, and acceptable gradients for
910        An's zonal (x-z) test case (to be checked in)
911      - lab_sea: produces acceptable gradients for lab_sea with forward/backward LSR
912        (but these are screwed up by the thermodynamics in the first place);
913        reduce from 4 to 3 timesteps to avoid t.d. issue as temporary solution;
914        output_adm.txt also reflects changes to seaice_lsr
915      - global_ocean.cs32x15:
916        * the "default" input_ad.seaice has been re-defined to always exclude dynamics
917          (output_adm.seaice.txt was updated)
918        * new input_ad.seaice_dynmix tests a forward LSR / backward free-drift
919          (output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt)
920    o test-exp. exp4+stevens:
921      - switch off pTracers and nonHydrostatic (restart problems with NH); update output
922    o pkg/seaice (lsr solver):
923      - put coriolis term into FORCEX,Y (as in seaice_evp.F; previously in rhsU,V only);
924        update output (change truncation) of FWD test exp lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15
925      - fix SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT for new OBCS version (ndef OBCS_UVICE_OLD)
926      - new parameter "LSR_mixIniGuess" allows (if=2,4) to mix free-drift solution
927        into initial guess for linearised solver; use weight ~ (1/err)^2,4.
928      - compute (with new S/R) and print initial (+ free-driff sol. if available)
929        and final residual of linearised system.
930    o pkg/pp81: add diagnostics for vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivity
931      (requires new subroutines pp81_init_fixed.F/pp81_diagnostics_init.F)
932    o pkg/obcs: Stevens BCs (still only for east and west)
933      - fix Stevens BCs by using intermediate velocities of previous
934        time step as "baroclinic" contribution rather velocity of one grid cell
935        inside the boundaries; more consistent but makes the entire treatment
936        more complicated, requires new pickup files and two new S/Rs:
937        obcs_copy_uv_n and obcs_save_uv_n
938        keep old version with flag OBCS_STEVENS_USE_INTERIOR_VELOCITY
939        (undefined by default)
940      - silently move computation of some grid factors into separate loops to
941        save some recomputations
942      - add a hack for non-linear free surface
943      - add a verification experiment to exp4 that tests this code
944    o make gluemnc/xplodemnc work with (moron) non-GNU shell tools
945    
946    checkpoint63d (2011/10/25)
947    o pkg/obcs + seaice-dynamics:
948      - new implementation calls OBCS_APPLY_UVICE (in seaice_dynsolver.F) before
949        solving for uIce,vIce and prevent SEAICE_LSR or SEAICE_EVP to modify OB
950        values (consistent with an implicit method).
951      - add option OBCS_UVICE_OLD (in OBCS_OPTIONS.h, defined by default) to
952        return to older implementation (same results as before); note that none of
953        the "experimental" OBCS_SEAICE options are implemented in the new version.
954      - switch test exp. seaice_obcs to use new version (update output).
955    o pkg/seaice:
956      - add few stop (B-grid & CS-exch, B-grid & obcs, AUTODIFF & SEAICE_maskRHS)
957      - add parenthesis in Water-Ice drag calculations (evp & lsr);
958      - in seaice_lsr.F, simplify and fix AA3 setting in case sNx or sNy=1;
959        and fix case SEAICE_waterDrag=0 (but unstable if no or little seaice)
960      - update output of test exp lab_sea that uses evp or lsr (fwd+ad)
961        and global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn & seaice fwd+ad).
962    o pkg/layers:
963      - Include potential density as new coordinate (Thanks to David Munday)
964    o pkg/dic:
965      - Remove subroutine CALC_PCO2_APPROX_CO3 from carbon_chem.F and add
966        carbonate computation/output to CALC_PCO2_APPROX
967    o pkg/generic_advdiff
968      - make TAF generate code that vectorizes:
969        gad_dst3fl_adv_*.F, gad_u3c4_impl_r.F
970    o model/src:
971      - improve vectorization also for adjoint code of
972        solve_tridiagonal and solve_pentadiagonal. As this requires up to
973        5 new 3D-fields, this code is only turned on for the combination of
974        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC and TARGET_NEC_SX. Also remove error message
975        for singular matrix check (only for TARGET_NEC_SX).
976      - remove hard-wiring of CPP-flag ALLOW_SOLVERS_KLOOPINSIDE to
977        ALLOW_AUTODIFF. This flag now needs to be set outside of
978        solve_tri/pentadiagonal.F
979    o pkg/exf:
980      - fix previous modif in exf_readparms.F (revision 1.66: treatment of
981        optional namelist EXF_NML_OBCS).
982      - add many debug-print (to trace down where pkg/cal error msg comes from)
983    o pkg/mom_vecinv/mom_vi_hdissip.F
984      - rearrange loops so that vectorization is improved and in particular
985        the adjoint routine vectorizes. The code is a little longer now, but I
986        think easier to read.
987        Note: CPP-flag MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 is not tested.
988    o pkg/seaice:
989      - allow to specify initial seaice velocity from files (uIceFile,vIceFile)
990    o pkg/exch2:
991      - alternative code (without tile x tile matrix) for cumulated (global) sum;
992        used as default; keep using matrix version in adjustment.cs-32x32x1.
993    o tools/build_options:
994      - after merging some MPI and/or multi-threads specific optfiles so that
995        the modified default optfile support both built (using genmake2 -mpi
996        for the MPI built, using genmake2 -omp for OpenMP built),
997        move now obsolete optfiles to tools/build_options/unsupported/
998       (add copy of email sent to support list in doc/optfiles_changes.txt)
999    
1000    checkpoint63c (2011/09/28)
1001    o pkg/ebm:
1002      - fix ebm_zonalmean.F for several procs in Ydir (nPy > 1); update output of
1003        test exp. global_ocean_ebm (affects machine truncation, 12 digits for cg2d)
1004    o pkg/seaice (SItracer pickup)
1005    * Simple code for pickup of SItracer fields (#define ALLOW_SITRACER)
1006      To be done:
1007      - thorough testing of missing fields in S/R seaice_read_pickup
1008      - thorough matching between generic tracers and specific fields used
1009        (e.g. volume-weighted age, area-weighted age, salinity, ...)
1010    o pkg/grdchk:
1011      - all procs calculate and print finite-difference gradient (for testreport)
1012      - change description output used by testreport;
1013      - AD testing: also compare and report Finite-difference gradient;
1014        => update all output_adm*.txt
1015    o test exp. global_ocean_ebm:
1016      - switch back useRealFreshWaterFlux (no problem anymore with run-off);
1017        and turn on exactConserve; update (fwd) output.
1018    o pkg/seaice (LSR):
1019      - print to STDOUT number of solver iterations at SEAICE_monFreq interval.
1020      - modify solver to deal cleanly with u/v switch at face edges (CS-grid):
1021        * identical results with non-CS topology (but save up to half of EXCH calls)
1022        * no much changes in cs-32 verification tests since no ice at face edges
1023         (differences due to convergence criteria, since nb of iterations changed)
1024        * expect some differences on lat-lon-cap grid.
1025        update FWD results of global_ocean.cs32x15 test exp. (icedyn & seaice)
1026    o pkg/exch2:
1027      - add new CPP option to disable Cumul-Sum matrix (to save storage when using
1028        many tiles); until alternative coding is added, just add a stop.
1029    o pkg/kpp:
1030      - move ptracer/salt correction to KPP diffusivity from calc_3d_diffusivity.F
1031        to S/R KPP_CALC_DIFF_PTR (+ add tracer-index to argument list).
1032    o optfiles:
1033      - merged few MPI specific (*+mpi*) and multi-threads specific (*+mth) optfiles
1034        into corresponding standard one, which now support different build:
1035        (when using "genmake2 -mpi" for MPI built, "genmake2 -omp" for OpenMP built)
1036      - add "darwin_amd64_gfortran" optfile (initially from Constantinos, tested by Gael)
1037    o pkg/obcs (seaice):
1038      - add missing EXCH for uIce,vIce after applying OBCS;
1039      - remove S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_X/Y , disable S/R EXF_SET_OBCS_X/Y by adding
1040        argument = number of levels to S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_XZ/YZ and S/R
1041        EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ ; update obcs_exf_load.F;
1042      - fix EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ for multi-threaded (assuming loaded arrays are shared)
1043      - verification exp. seaice_obcs: split domain in 2 tiles ; add SIZE.h_mpi
1044        and eedata.mth for MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
1045    o pkg/flt:
1046      - make FLT EXCH working with multi-threads (and MPI + multi-threads);
1047      - use buffer for floats IO (trajectories & profiles); size set in FLT_SIZE.h;
1048      - fix pickup and trajectories + profiles output with multi-threads;
1049      - add parameter to select group of fields to write along trajectory and
1050        profile (default unchanged);
1051      - only call PORT_RAND* function when flt_noise <> 0;
1052      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. flt_example.
1053    o eesupp/src:
1054      - fix S/R ALL_PROC_DIE for MPI+multi-threads.
1055      - USE_OMP_THREADING: check that number of threads (from eedata) matches
1056        actual number (from env.var. setting).
1057    o pkg/ebm:
1058      - fix multi-threading in ebm_area_t.F ; clean-up EBM.h header file.
1059      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. global_ocean_ebm
1060    
1061    checkpoint63b (2011/08/29)
1062    o pkg/ebm:
1063      - fix sign of runoff;
1064      - update directly forcing fields (Qnet,EmPmR) to use standard
1065        external_forcing_surf.F (remove ebm_forcing_surf.F);
1066      - avoid loading forcing fields a 2nd time (1rst time from ini_forcing.F);
1067      - set either tauThetaClimRelax (in data) or tauThetaZonRelax (in data.ebm)
1068        and apply relaxation towards corresponding SST field (2-D map or ZonAver).
1069      - update global_ocean_ebm parameters file data and update output (fwd+ad).
1070    o verification/matrix_example:
1071      - split domain in 8 tiles (2x4); add SIZE.h_mpi and eedata.mth for
1072        MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
1073    o pkg/matrix:
1074      - change name of S/R MATRIX_INIT to S/R MATRIX_INIT_VARIA ;
1075      - fix for multi-tiles (add bi,bj indices to exp/impMatrixCounter);
1076      - fix for multi-threaded (remove DATA statement);
1077      - use standard DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE function;
1078      - add MATRIX_OPTIONS.h
1079    o verification/matrix_example:
1080       To allow to split the domain in several tiles, change the domain size
1081        from 31x31 to 32x32 by adding 1 row (on Southern side) + 1 column (on
1082        Western side) of land points.
1083    o (*_)write_pickup:
1084      - fix few bugs in mypackage_read/write_pickup.F
1085      - in MDS_WR_METAFILES calls, replace "myTime" by a local copy into
1086        array of length 1 (was caught by compiler syntax-check).
1087    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential solver):
1088      - fix initialisation of main diagonal matrix (for overlap values)
1089    o tools/build_options:
1090      - towards single optfile for MPI and non-MPI built: merge few +mpi optfile
1091        into previously non MPI one (linux_am64 pgf77,open64,pathf90,ifort11)
1092      - linux_amd64_gfortran: merge +mpi_generic version into standard optfile:
1093        * move IEEE flags to DEVEL section; take IEEE flags from +mpi_generic ;
1094        * FAST case: for now, keep -O3 with ini_masks_etc.F in NOOPTFILES list;
1095        and use "-devel" testreport option for standard testing on baudelaire.
1096    o pkg/grdchk:
1097      - Assume that all gradient-check position are within the same tile
1098        corresponding to global indices (iGloTile,jGloTile) and that
1099        positions (i,j indices or nbeg) are local to this tile;
1100      - set tile local-indices and proc. number according to tile global-indices;
1101      - remove grdchkwhichproc from namelist (retired param);
1102      - send adjoint gradient to all procs so that all procs print it to STDOUT;
1103      - switch on MPI test for global_ocean.90x40x15 AD test experiment.
1104    o adding package bbl (Bottom Boundary Layer)
1105      description in MITgcm/pkg/bbl/bbl_description.tex
1106      example/test experiment in MITgcm_contrib/bbl
1107    o adjoint verifications
1108      - changed 5 experiments to multi-tiles
1109        * global_ocean.90x40x15
1110        * obcs_ctrl
1111        * offline_exf_seaice
1112        * tutorial_dic_adjoffline
1113        * tutorial_tracer_adjsens
1114        changed reference output for those that crossed tile boundaries
1115        (changed choices of gradient check positions)
1116      - with same tiling, switch on MPI test for the last 4 (add SIZE.h_mpi)
1117      - temporary bug fix in grdchk_loc.F for obcs
1118    o genmake2 & testreport
1119      - add target "obj" (just for OBJFILES files) to Makefile;
1120      - add option to specify FEXTRAFLAGS on command line.
1121    o pkg/mypackage:
1122      - remove bi,bj arguments from argument list of S/R MYPACKAGE_CALC_RHS
1123    
1124    checkpoint63a (2011/08/02)
1125    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
1126      - fix velocity-potential calculation when using OBCS: balance net inflow
1127        at each level (new S/R OBCS_DIAG_BALANCE).
1128      - fix some of the problems with OBCS in stream-function calculation.
1129    o pkg/exf/exf_readparms.F
1130      - make treatment of optional namelists (EXF_NML_04, EXF_NML_SGRUNOFF,
1131        EXF_NML_OBCS) more consistent, so that you need not have these lists
1132        in data.exf when they are not used.
1133    o optim/optim_readdata.F:
1134      - add some output about obcs variables that might help debugging
1135      - add a check about nvarlength
1136    o pkg/ctrl: once again, fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
1137    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
1138      - fix mask for OBCS (still problems in stream-function with OBCS);
1139      - add specific parameter (default = main code CG2D params) for solver;
1140      - in case of poor convergence, use solution corresponding to lowest residual.
1141    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: small changes that permit vectorizable
1142      adjoint code. In general statements like tmpscal=fld(i,j) are problematic
1143      and should be avoided where possible.
1144    o model/src (rStar):
1145      - include r* effect on reference-state (PhiRef) in totPhiHyd
1146        (so that it's really the potential anomaly at the cell center);
1147        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS.
1148      - test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15: reduce viscA4 (was not stable) and
1149        update output (because of z* in totPhiHyd and viscA4 changes);
1150      - keep the previous diagnostics as "PHIHYDcR" (closer to potential anomaly
1151        @ constant r) until interpolation at constant r is implemented.
1152    o pkg/diagnostics
1153      - fix RCENTER diagnostics in case cell center is not at interface middle
1154    o add code for TEOS-10 (www.teos-10.org, McDougall et al. 2011). Use
1155      this eos with eosType = 'TEOS10', in data (PARM01). This eos implies
1156      that THETA and SALT are "conservative temperature" and "absolute
1157      salinity"
1158    o pkg/ctrl
1159      - fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
1160      - ctrl_pack/unpack_*: remove unused variables and some obsolete code
1161    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
1162      - fix recomputation with FENTY_AREA_EXPANSION_CONTRACTION code,
1163        remove then obsolete STORE directives
1164      - fix STORE directives for tice and tices, so that only the
1165        appropriate part of the fields are stored (and not the entire
1166        field); update global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice AD output.
1167      - cosmetic changes: adjust CPP flags and indentation for better
1168        legibilty
1169    o pkg/autodiff: add mnc-output of adBottomDragFld (code contributed by
1170      Chris Wilson)
1171    o pkg/gmredi:
1172       Add Sub-Meso Eddies parameterisation from Baylor (for now, disabled with TAF),
1173       and test it in verification exp. "front_relax.bvp" (update output.bvp.txt)
1174    
1175    checkpoint63  (2011/07/11)
1176    o pkg/exch2:
1177     - rename+move: nTiles in W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h --> exch2_nTiles in W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h
1178     - exch2 version of Cumul-Sum routine: S/R W2_SET_MAP_CUMSUM set up the
1179       (2*nTiles)x(nTiles) Cumul-Sum matrix and Master Proc collects all tiles X,Y
1180       increments, calculates Cumul-Sum @ tile origin and sends results to each tile.
1181    o pkg/diagnostics:
1182     - deal with pairs of post-processed diags which are computed together; in
1183       particular, re-order list of diags within 1 file to save 2nd computation.
1184     - add S/R to compute velocity stream-function (called after velocity-potential
1185       calculation) from divergence free transport -> new diagnostics "PsiVEL".
1186     - add parameter to select grid-point location where PsiVEL == 0.
1187    o eesupp/src:
1188       new S/R to calculate cumulated sum on tiled array, corner grid-cell location
1189       (specific S/R needed with exch2 topology - for now, just print an error msg)
1190    o pkg/shelfice
1191     - Implement friction velocity-dependent transfer coefficients following
1192       Holland and Jenkins, JPO, 1999
1193       Original code by M. Losch with small modifs.
1194       Enable with CPP option SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
1195       and runtime flag SHELFICEuseGammaFrict
1196    o verification lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15:
1197     - use tools/xmakedepend (instead of cyrus_makedepend, in genmake_local):
1198       does not miss some dependencies (but is slower) and also works with many files
1199       (default makedepend limitation for AD built).
1200     - use cyrus_makedepend in adjustment.128x64x1 (so that it still tested).
1201    o pkg/diagnostics:
1202     - add run-time parameter "useMissingValue" (def=False) to fill land-point
1203        (i.e., where mask=0) with MissingValue ; used only in MNC output file.
1204       This replaces CPP-option DIAGNOSTICS_MISSING_VALUE.
1205     - Extend the use of "missing_value" setting from data.diagnostics for the case
1206       of counter-diagnostics (where fraction-weight is zero). This applies both to
1207       MNC and MDS output files.
1208    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1209      - add 'a priori' cap of latent heat flux based on actual mass considerations
1210        when SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET is used in conjunction with the
1211        non-legacy seaice_solve4temp.
1212      - add diagnostic of the residual sublimation freshwater flux (the freshwater
1213        flux taken from the ocean if the total actual latent heat fluxes exceed
1214        the maximum)
1215      - remove the CPP switch around the *_FWbySublim unit change and move diagnostic
1216       fill for SIatmQnt, SIfwSubl, SIatmFW to the end of seaice_growth.F.
1217      - add diagnostic of the actual sublimation freshwater flux (that is 0. ifndef
1218       SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET) and of the latent heat flux (evap+sublim).
1219      - bug fix : frWtrAtm needs a_FWbySublim ifdef SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET.
1220      - bug fix : missing part to Martin's r_FWbySublim pathological case fix.
1221    o verification 1D_ocean_ice_column:
1222       made model domain truly 1x1x23 instead of 5x5x23 with only center cell (3,3,:) wet
1223       update results
1224    o pkg/diagnostics:
1225     - Implement setting of "Post-Processed" diagnostics (corresponding to gdiag(5)='P')
1226       which are not filled-up but computed from other diags ; In this case, the mate
1227       diag points to the primary (filled-up) diag to used for post processing.
1228     - Update Velocity-potential computation using post-processed diag framework.
1229     ==> Change the ordering of fields and time-periods in MDS output file
1230       when using periodic averaging: now writes one time record with the full set
1231       of fields for this time period, then the next time reccord (it used to be
1232       one field with the full set of time records then the next field).
1233         Note: this is now similar to NetCDF (MNC) output file. <==
1234    
1235    checkpoint62z (2011/06/21)
1236    o adjoint monitor:
1237     - Add adjoint monitor output for packages exf, seaice
1238       and update relevant testreport output
1239    o pkg/seaice:
1240     - re-order diags inits so that they appear in order in available_diagnostics.log
1241     - added diags: hsnow thermo. rates of change, area preceeding ridiging process,
1242       area/heff/hsnow preceeding thermodynamic growth/melt.
1243     - modified diag: SIdA; output actual effect, as the description states.
1244     - modified description: SIqneti, SIqneto, SIuheff, SIvheff, SIdAb*, HSNOW.
1245     - retired redundant diags: SIyneg, SIfice, SIsnwice, SIthdgrh.
1246       (SIyneg->SIdHbOCN; SIfice->SIdHbATC; SIsnwice->SIdHbFLO;
1247        and SIthdgrh->SIdHbOCN+SIdHbATC+SIdHbATO)
1248     - modified diags (2) : switch all SIdA*, SIdH*, SIdS* from delta to rates.
1249     - added diagnostics for seaice generic tracers (SItr*).
1250     - added SItrUnit and SItrNameLong run time param (for SItr* diags).
1251     - in diag names, replaced 'PrTh' abbrev. of 'preceeding thermo' with 'PT'.
1252     I. Fenty: 18-Jun-2011:
1253     Minor changes to seaice package:
1254     1) Retired old variables (A22, SEAICE_lhsublim, areaMax, areaMin, hiceMin) and
1255        added some new ones (SEAICE_area_reg, SEAICE_hice_reg, SEAICE_area_floor)
1256       - Differentiated "regularization variables" from "floor variables"
1257        * areaMin became SEAICE_area_reg (old A22) and SEAICE_area_floor
1258        * hiceMin became SEAICE_hice_reg (old hiceMin)
1259          (with _reg meaning regularization variable)
1260       - SEAICE_lhSublim becomes lhSublim, the sum of SEAICE_lhEvap and SEAICE_lhFusion
1261        so as to ensure energy conservation when going between phases
1262      - A22 was not used anywhere
1263     2) Changed regularization procedure for heffActual and hsnowActual to ensure
1264        well-boundedness and smooth adjoint in seaice_growth.F
1265     3) Fixed a bug where seaice_solve4temp would not recognize ice-free grid cells
1266        because the old regularization always set heffActual >= 0.05 cm
1267     4) Changed the model so that the default behavior is to put a small (10^-5) "floor"
1268        on AREA when HEFF > 0.
1269      - went from requiring ALLOW_PRECLUDE_INFINITESIMAL_AREA to be defined to
1270        requiring that DISABLE_AREA_FLOOR *not* be defined
1271     Affected verifications:
1272      - 1D_ocean_ice_column (output.txt output_adm.txt)
1273      - global_ocean.cs32x15 (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt)
1274    o pkg/diagnostics:
1275      - move MNC code from diagnostics_out.F into new diagnostics_mnc_out.F (2 S/R).
1276      - rename S/R GETDIAG to DIAGNOSTICS_GET_DIAG and change type of 1rst argument
1277        (was _RL, now integer) with option = 0 to retrieve all levels.
1278      - add pieces of code to compute velocity potential at each level (new diagnostics
1279        PhiVEL, works only when UVELMASS & VVELMASS are also turned on);
1280        for now, using same params as CG2D (target-resisual, max Nb of iter ...).
1281      - fix few issues with counter diagnostics in diagnostics_setdiag.F &
1282        diagstats_setdiag.F (if diagnostic counter is itself a counter diag)
1283        and in diagnostics_fract_fill.F (do not need a valid pointer for the
1284        diagnostics counter-mate); check that definition of counter-diagnostic
1285        includes a valid counter-mate (in diagnostics_set_levels.F).
1286    o model/src (rStar):
1287      - add rStar scaling factor in diags_phi_hyd.F (similar to calc_grad_phi_hyd.F);
1288        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS;
1289        update output of test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15.
1290    o pkg/seaice:
1291      - introduce siEps=1e-5 parameter
1292      - use areaMax in AREA update (part 4), consistent with ridging step (part 2.5).
1293      - re-organize SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET code.
1294      - introduce ALLOW_SITRACER and seaice_tracer_phys.F to handle generic seaice tracer.
1295        For now it covers, and was tested for, ice salinity and age (attached to HEFF),
1296        as well as ice cover age and ridging index (attached to AREA).
1297        For now the run time parameters (in data.seaice/SEAICE_PARM03) are
1298        SItrName (e.g. 'age') and SItrMate ('HEFF', which is the default, or 'AREA').
1299        Up to SItrMaxNum=3 tracers can be used simultaneously.
1300    o pkg/salt_plume:
1301      -introduce SPsalFRAC run time parameter that sets the fraction of the
1302       salt by-product of ice growth (SPsalFRAC*(1-SIsalFRAC)*salt typically)
1303       that gets vertically redistributed (fluxed down) by pkg/salt_plume.
1304    o model debug options:
1305      - Switch reading of debugMode from S/R INI_PARMS (parameter file "data", stored
1306        in PARAMS.h) to S/R EESET_PARMS (parameter file "eedata", stored in EEPARAMS.h).
1307      - Refine debug-msg printing selection (3 new levels):
1308        debugMode  : controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
1309        debugLevel : controls printing of algorithm-relevant auxiliary/debug messages
1310         debLevZero =  0 ; /* level of disabled aux. msg printing */
1311         debLevA =  1 ; /* level of minimum  aux. msg printing */
1312         debLevB =  2 ; /* level of low aux. print (report read-file opening)*/
1313         debLevC =  3 ; /* level of moderate debug prt (most pkgs debug msg) */
1314         debLevD =  4 ; /* level of enhanced debug prt (add DEBUG_STATS prt) */
1315         debLevE =  5 ; /* level of extensive debug printing */
1316        New debugLevel default: with default debugMode value (=F),
1317          = 2 (debLevB) or = 1 (debLevA) in case ALLOW_AUTODIFF is defined.;
1318          and if debugMode=T, default debugLevel = 4 (debLevD).
1319        Relation with previous settings:
1320         debLevB (=2) corresponds to former debLevA (=1)
1321         debLevD (=4) corresponds to former debLevB (=2)
1322        Note:
1323         a) if debugLevel=0, skip WRITE_GRID call when nIter0 > 0 (same as before);
1324         b) default debugLevel=1 is convenient in AD runs (avoid many file opening msgs);
1325            to recover previous default, set debugLevel=2 (e.g. AD-test hs94.1x64x5)
1326      - Add new parameter (printResidualFreq, read from PARM02 namelist) to print
1327        detailed CG solvers convergence; off (=0) by default, except if debugLevel=5.
1328    o pkg/obcs:
1329      - change OBCSfixTopo default from True to False (should not change the results);
1330        keep OBCSfixTopo=T in verification-exp. seaice_obcs.
1331    o pkg/thsice:
1332      - fix bug in thsice_calc_thickn.F (was introduced in version 1.18) in
1333        2nd layer seaice sublimation (unlikely to happen)
1334      - use Interior mask for OBCS in thsice_advection.F (similar to what is
1335        done in gad_advection & seaice_advection).
1336    o adjoint:
1337      bug fix spotted by Gael Forget:
1338      seaice_advection and thsice_advection still had
1339      legacy CPP options to avoid CS corner updates for adjoint
1340    o pkg/seaice:
1341      => Change some of the defaults (2011/05/29):
1342         - change SEAICEuseFluxForm default (from False to True)
1343         - change DIFF1 default (from 0.004 m/s to 0. m/s)
1344         And print warnings if DIFF1 is not set in data.seaice and centered
1345          avection scheme is used without any diffusion.
1346      also:
1347      - fix seaice_diffusion calls in default AdvScheme part of seaice_advdiff.F;
1348      - set SEAICEdiffKh[] default in the same way as SEAICEadvSch[]
1349      - stop if DIFF1<>0 with SEAICEadvScheme <> 2, if DIFF1<>0 with any
1350        other non-zero SEAICEdiffKh[] diffusivity, if SEAICEadvSalt=T with
1351        #undef SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY, if SEAICEadvAge=T with #undef SEAICE_AGE.
1352      update results of test exp.:
1353         lab_sea: output.fd (switch to AdvScheme=33 with diffKh=20)
1354             output.hb87, output_adm.evp (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T and diffKh=200)
1355             output_adm.noseaicedyn (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
1356         offline_exf_seaice: output.seaicetd, output_adm (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
1357         seaice_obcs: output (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
1358      and prescribe old default for SEAICEuseFluxForm (=F) and DIFF1 (=0.004)
1359          for standard fwd & AD lab_sea tests (to keep the same output).
1360    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1361      - use Ian Fenty's capping formulas for actual ice
1362      thickness thoughout EVOLUTION branch.
1363      - put treatment pathological case #2) in CPP brackets
1364      (ALLOW_AVOID_INFINITESIMAL_AREA, undef by default).
1365      - update global_ocean.cs32x15 and 1D_ocean_ice_colum results accordingly.
1366    o pkg/seaice:
1367      - seaice_diffusion.F : remove the min(DX,DY) factor permanently;
1368      pass the Laplacian diffusivity (in m^2/s) diffKh as a parameter;
1369      also pass fac as a param, which can be 1. (to update the tendency
1370      field) or the time step (to update the field itself).
1371      - seaice_advdiff.F: for multidim, call seaice_diffusion with
1372      e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=1; for single-dim, call
1373      seaice_diffusion with e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=time step.
1374      - SEAICE_PARAMS.h, seaice_readparms.F, seaice_check.F :
1375      hooks to handle SEAICEdiffKhHeff, SEAICEdiffKhArea, etc.
1376    o pkg/seaice:
1377      diffusion with centered advection scheme (diffus.F & advect.F):
1378      - simplify S/R DIFFUS (put deltaT & DIFF1 factor outside, move EXCH outside)
1379        to just compute the laplacian of input-field.
1380      - unroll k loop (harmonic,biharmonic diff) in advect.F to save 1 exch call.
1381      - fix flux-form version in diffus.F to conserve tracer.
1382      update output of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 (1rst set of modif affects
1383       machine truncation) and lab_sea.salt_plume (conservative flux-form modif)
1384    
1385    checkpoint62y (2011/05/26)
1386    o pkg/seaice:
1387     - seaice_growth.F : in EVOLUTION branch, always include
1388       a_QSWbyATM_cover in qnet (as it should be).
1389     - verification/global_ocean.cs32x15 : update results accordingly
1390       (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt).
1391    o pkg/seaice + obcs:
1392     - use maskInW & maskInS in multi-dim advection and biharmonic diffusion:
1393       equivalent of assuming no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
1394       update output of seaice_obcs (uses DIFF1 <>0 => biharmonic diffusion)
1395     - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH calls (no longer needed
1396       after changes above);
1397     - obcs+seaice cleaning: apply seaice-tracer OB values to tracer field
1398       only at OB location (instead of over a band of OLx width).
1399    o pkg/seaice:
1400     - fix wrong indices in old (non Flux-Form) diffusion default S/R diffus.F
1401       (dxG(I+1, ...) changed to dxG(I, ...), no impact on Lat-Lon grid)
1402    o pkg/obcs:
1403      - split header file "OBCS.h" into 4 separated files:
1404        OBCS_PARAMS.h, OBCS_GRID.h, OBCS_FIELDS.h & OBCS_SEAICE.h
1405       Note: OBCS_PARAMS.h & OBCS_GRID.h can be included without OBCS_OPTIONS.h
1406         (contain no conditional statement which depends on OBCS options).
1407      - move "useOBCSYearlyFields" from "data.obcs" (hold in OBCS_PARAMS.h)
1408        to parameter file "data.exf", namelist EXF_NML_OBCS (in EXF_PARAM.h).
1409    o ctrl, cost, grdchk & autodiff pkgs:
1410      - make options file more standard (like other {PKG}_OPTIONS.h file but
1411        with AD_CONFIG.h); clean-up some of the included header files.
1412    o pkg/obcs:
1413      - do not mask tracer when applying OB (tracer == 0 could generate problems)
1414      - apply tracer OB values to tracer field only at OB location (instead of
1415        over a band of OLx width)
1416      - clean-up obcs_apply_w.F & obcs_apply_eta.F (since less calls to these S/R)
1417      - remove OBCS_MULTIDIM_OLD_VERSION code in gad_advection.F and remove
1418        obcs_apply_tloc.F & obcs_apply_sloc.F
1419    o obcs in model/src:
1420      - call OBCS_APPLY_W only if NonHydrostatic.
1421      - call OBCS_APPLY_ETA only if NonLinFreeSurf.
1422      - reset dEtaHdt and wVel to zero outside OB interior region ;
1423      - leave tracer unchanged outside OB interior region: This has no effect
1424        on the solution but just to prevent unrealistic tracer value outside OB.
1425      - zero out velocity outside OB interior region: This has no effect on
1426        the solution but just to prevent unrealistic velocity outside OB.
1427    o obcs and non-lin free-surf:
1428       move call to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR from update_r_star.F to calc_r_star.F
1429       and call to OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR from update_surf_dr.F to calc_surf_dr.F
1430       + add argument "etaFld" to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR & OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR:
1431       this fixes missing EXCH + get consistent eta OB value (+ fix restart).
1432       update results of test-exp. exp4(nlfs).
1433    o exp4 (nlfs) test-exp:
1434       use OBC for Eta at Western & Eastern OB (to test prescribing Eta
1435       with NonLin-FreeSurf); update output.nlfs.txt
1436    o obcs and 2d/3d solver norm:
1437       use interior masks (maskInC) to cancel out cg2d & cg3d matrix coeff at OB
1438       and outside OB interior region (will allow to place OB further inside the
1439       domain). Depending on the domain, can affects cg2d-Norm (previous
1440       cancellation outside OB was only partial), e.g. in exp4 & obcs_ctrl,
1441       and cg3d-Norm (previous Norm was computed before canceling OB terms),
1442       e.g. in tutorial_plume_on_slope.
1443      - update output of exp.: exp4 (x2), obcs_ctrl and tutorial_plume_on_slope.
1444    o pkg rbcs:
1445      - split RBCS.h into 3 files: RBCS_SIZE.h, RBCS_PARAMS.h & RBCS_FIELDS.h
1446      - add capability to apply relaxation to horizontal velocity uVel & vVel.
1447    o pkg/grdchk: add gradient check for control variable xx_shifwflx
1448    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_init_fixed.F
1449      fix CPP-flag combinations
1450    o pkg/seaice: Merge iceage code of Pierre Rampal
1451      * update/change/correct ice age calculations
1452      * add age updates for pathological cases
1453      Probably needs more testing...
1454    
1455    checkpoint62x (2011/05/13)
1456    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
1457       high-order vorticity scheme: use interior masks (maskInW & S)
1458       to zero-out (outside OB) gradient of vorticity.
1459    o verification exp.:
1460       turn on "useEnergyConservingCoriolis" (better discretisation) in exp.
1461       hs94.128x64x5 and seaice_obcs ; update results.
1462    o pkg/obcs:
1463      fix bug in OBeta for YZ sections in obcs_exf_load.F
1464    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/shelfice, and optim:
1465      - add new control variable xx_shifwflx (fresh water flux underneath ice
1466        shelves). This is almost as tedious as obcs-ctrl, because the
1467        variables needs its own mask.
1468      - add a cost function term that penalizes the deviation of xx_shifwflx
1469        from the first guess (zero) in analogy to other control variables
1470    o pkg/shelfice:
1471      - start basic adjoint
1472    o pkg/ctrl:
1473      - remove extra 2D field "for good measure" when initializing in
1474        ctrl_set_globfld_[xy/xz/yz].F
1475      - replace hard coded precision 32 (a bug) in ctrl_map_ini_gen by ctrlprec
1476      - improve error messages in ctrl_set_unpack_*
1477    o OBC implementation in momentum:
1478       use interior masks (maskInC,W & S) in momentum S/R:
1479       - multiply divergence, tension and some del^i.u or del^j.v by maskInC
1480       - multiply del2u,del2v by maskInW/S (biharmonic viscosity)
1481       - multiply horiz. grad of vorticity by maskInW/S (in Leith scheme)
1482       - multiply gradient of wVel by maskInW/S in del2w calculation (NonHyd)
1483       Motivation: fix/clean implementation of OBC with biharmonic-viscosity
1484        (and also with Leith/Smagorinsky harmonic-viscosity).
1485       Update output of experiment dome and exp4 (+nlfs).
1486    o exp4 test-exp:
1487      - turn on: nonHydrostatic, exactConserv, viscA4 (with momDissip_In_AB=F)
1488        and prescribe time-varying OB (without pkg/exf) for zonal-velocity
1489        at Western & Eastern Boundaries (+/- 1 per-cent); Also prescribe
1490        time-varying OB at Western-side for wVel (NonHyd); update output.
1491      - add secondary set-up (.nlfs) using NonLin FreeSurf (z*) + mom_vecinv
1492        and biharmonic-viscosity ; also use prescribed time varying OB.
1493    o pkg/obcs:
1494      fix bug in OBWeta,OBWeta indices in obcs_apply_r_star.F
1495    o model/src:
1496      - fix startTime setting when baseTime<>0 & nIter0=0 are specified ;
1497      - initialise startTime & nIter0 with unlikely values: allows to set one
1498        from the other without ambiguity.
1499    o seaice_obcs test-exp.:
1500      add small diffK4T,S to test biharmonic diffusivity with OBCS ; update output.
1501    o pkg/obcs:
1502      - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH for T,S & pTracer:
1503        no longer needed with maskInC,W,S in pkg/generic_advdiff.
1504    o pkg/seaice:
1505      - retired SEAICE_SALINITY and SEAICE_salinity in favor of
1506        SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY and SIsalFRAC, respectively.
1507      - fixed bug in the initialization of sea ice salinity variable HSALT
1508        in seaice_init_varia.F  (removed dependence on ICE2WATR)
1509    o fizhi-cs test exp.:
1510       switch reference output convention for these 2 non-standard test-exp,
1511        from: pgi  6.1-5 on faulks (FC.6, -of linux_ia32_pgf77+authors_fc5)
1512          to: ifort 11.1 on baudelaire (FC.13, -of linux_amd64_ifort11)
1513       reason: faulks might get retired soon and pkg/fizhi has still Pb with gfortran
1514    o model/inc:
1515      - change type of PmEpR array (from _RS to _RL) to fix restart (with "-use_r4")
1516        of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15 (Suncronous time-stepping + Real-FW + NonLin-FS)
1517    o pkg/seaice:
1518      - fix calculation of saltFlux and saltPlumeFlux when using SEAICE_SALINITY
1519    o verification/lab_sea, 1D_ocean_ice_column, seaice_obcs, global_ocean.cs32x15
1520      - updated output*.txt files due to bug fixes in salt, saltPlumeFlux,
1521        and initial HSALT
1522    
1523    checkpoint62w (2011/04/26)
1524    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
1525      - fix calculation of del2u & del2v (no-slip BC) when using Non-Lin Free-Surf.
1526      - use parameter "sideDragFactor" in no-slip BC side-drag part.
1527      - update output of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
1528    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
1529      mask del2u & del2v (no effect on results, but cleaner & closer to mom_fluxform)
1530    o update seaice exp.:
1531      use more consistent parameter values (remove "backward compatability only":
1532       ICE2WATR, SEAICE_lhSublim, SEAICE_cpAir, SEAICE_rhoAir + set rhoConstFresh)
1533      related to thermodynamics seaice. Update output (fwd+AD) of exp.:
1534       1D_ocean_ice_column (x2), lab_sea (x8), ioffline_exf_seaice (x2) & seaice_obcs
1535    o update test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15:
1536      o use default CD_CODE_OPTIONS file (Adams-Bashforth on CD Mom & Coriolis).
1537      o increase Overlap size from 2 to 3 (to allow to test bi-harmonic Visc.)
1538      o new pickup-files from a 100.yr run with pkg/down_slope (input.dwnslp params)
1539      o turn on zStar & viscA4 in standard set-up (dir input/)
1540        and update output files: output.txt & output.dwnslp.txt
1541    o new AD-test experiment: obcs_ctrl
1542      (From Matt MITgcm_Contrib/SOSE/BoxAdj) to test OBCS as control vector.
1543    o pkg/dic:
1544      fix two bugs in handling water vapour pressure in carbonate chemistry
1545      and air-sea fluxes. Found by Val Bennington and Galen McKinley
1546      (add DIC Option = WATERVAP_BUG to recover old results)
1547      update output of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (fwd+AD) & tutorial_dic_adjoffline
1548    o adding allowInteriorFreezing option to check for water below freezing point
1549      at depth and bring the negative heat anomaly to the surface level
1550    o pkgs _fields_load:
1551      - extend GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to deal with non-periodic case (from pkg/rbcs)
1552      - use new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL in pkgs:
1553        bulk_force, cheapaml, cfc, dic, obcs (+ ctrl/ctrl_get_gen_rec), offline and
1554        rbcs to get interpolation weights and time reccord number.
1555      - fix multi-threading in aim_fields_load.F
1556      - apply EXCH to temp arrays [0,1] after reading in dic_fields_load.F
1557    o external_fields_load:
1558      new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to calculate which time-record (and linear
1559       interpolation weights) to use in a periodic time-series ; do not divide by
1560       time-step to convert to integer:
1561       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is not multiple of time-step
1562          (Thanks to Christopher L. Wolfe)
1563       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is an odd multiple of time-step
1564         (was wrong by half of time-step); update results of tutorial_global_oce_in_p.
1565      store index of time-record which is currently loaded:
1566       - works without any assumption on sequence of calls to EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD ;
1567       - needed for the adjoint but not yet used because of extensive recomputations;
1568         (to be fixed soon)
1569    
1570    checkpoint62v (2011/04/02)
1571    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column added to test Ian Fenty's
1572      pkg/seaice_growth.F modifications for improving sea ice code differentiability
1573    o update output of exp4, internal_wave, seaice_obcs, tutorial_plume_on_slope
1574      (new velocity statistics after changing maskInW & maskInS definition)
1575    o pkg/generic_advdiff with OBCS:
1576      use maksInW & maskInS in advective flux and in biharmonic diffusion calculation:
1577      equivalent to assumption of no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
1578      This will affect the results if using obcs+biharmonic diffusion.
1579      update output_adm.txt of experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5 (not expected since no obc)
1580    o pkg/obcs:
1581      change definition of maskInW & maskInS: leave OB edges inside (maskIn=1)
1582      (e.g., maskInW(OB_Ie)=1 ) so that velocity normal-component at OB is still
1583      in Interior region. No impact on solution but affects Velocity monitor stats.
1584    o pkg/ptracers (adjoint)
1585      New option AUTODIFF_PTRACERS_SPLIT_FILES for writing separate
1586      tape file for each tracer
1587    o model/inc/src and pkg/autodiff: add parameters that allow to turn
1588      of parts of the adjoint code at run time. For now, there are only
1589      useKPPinAdMode, useGMrediInAdMode, and useSEAICEinAdMode. These
1590      parameters are set in data.pkg.
1591      This is the lazy coward's version of doing this, but still useful for
1592      debugging. In order to do it right, everything needs to be moved to
1593      pkg/autodiff.
1594    o pkg/autodiff: fix global_sum_tile_ad.F by resetting adsumPhi at
1595      the end; this fixes the adjoint balancing code for open boundaries.
1596    o pkg/ctrl:
1597      - change behavior of xx_${varname}period to be analogous to exf-conventions:
1598        xx_${varname}period =   0.,  means time-independent control part
1599        xx_${varname}period = -12., means one-year-periodic monthly control part
1600      - introduce helper routine ctrl_init_rec (part of ctrl_init.F) to
1601        clean up ctrl_init a little, remove unused variables
1602      - ctrl_init: fixed the handling of the start/endrec for obcs-variables
1603      - move "call cal_GetMonthsRec" from s/r ctrl_get_gen to s/r ctrl_get_gen_rec
1604    
1605    checkpoint62u (2011/03/15)
1606    o model/src:
1607      - for the adjoint, change NonLin-FreeSurf initialisation sequence: fill-in
1608        h0Fac from INITIALISE_FIXED and reset hFac to h0Fac in INITIALISE_VARIA ;
1609      - in initialise_varia.F (except for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL) remove 2nd call to
1610        INI_DEPTHS, INI_MASKS_ETC & INI_LINEAR_PHISURF.
1611    o pkg/ctrl/obcs/ecco:
1612      - remove obsolete, unused, and partially broken code:
1613        ctrl_obcsvol/ctrl_obcsbal/ctrl_volflux and code within
1614        ALLOW_CTRL_OBCS_BALANCE
1615      - put a stop statement into ecco/cost_obcsvol.F, but also add
1616        cost_obcsvol to ecco_ad_diff.list
1617    o pkg/ecco: fix counting cost function contributions for obcs (code
1618      by Matt M.) and diffkr for diagnostics
1619    o pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk:
1620      add cost penalty terms for initial uvel, vvel, eta controls
1621      and I/O for prior error files
1622    o pkg/mdsio:
1623       move mds_check4file.F from eesupp/src to mdsio_check4file.F ; add option
1624       (new argument) to check for tiled file in mdsioLocalDir : this fix the
1625       restart from pickup_som , pickup_dic (& dic_co2atm) with mdsioLocalDir.
1626    o pkg/ctrl:
1627     - ctrl_obcsbal.F, ctrl_obcsvol.F: replace last calls of ctrl_getrec by
1628       ctrl_get_gen_rec, put a stop statement into ctrl_getrec. Remove
1629       unused and superfluous variables
1630     - ctrl_get_gen_rec.F: catch the case of xx_genperiod=0.
1631    o pkg/ecco
1632     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
1633    o pkg/ctrl/ecco/grdchk:
1634      - remove global declaration of tmpfldx/yz and tmpfldx/yz2.
1635        Fortunately, we do not have any tests for the numerous cpp-flagged
1636        option of "obcs as control parameters" so we will never know
1637        if this is an improvement (but at least now things compile).
1638      - remove an obsolete initialization from ecco_cost_init_barfiles.F
1639      - fix some problems within never used ifdefs to make the code compile
1640    o pkg/obcs:
1641     - Refine Interior mask definition to work with more complex OB (e.g.
1642       if OB_Ie < OB_Iw); In case default setting is not sufficient, allows to
1643       read in Interior mask from file. Check if Interior mask is consistent
1644       with OB list of indices.
1645    o pkg/seaice
1646     - beginning code for a seaice tracer package,
1647       but currently only used for seaice age: SEAICE_AGE
1648       SEAICE_num = 4
1649       iTracer = 1: area-weighted ice age
1650               = 2: volume-weighted ice age
1651               = 3, 4: template for one-year vs. multi-year ice
1652       data.seaice has new namelist SEAICE_PARM03 for arrays related to
1653       SEAICE_num
1654    
1655    checkpoint62t (2011/03/05)
1656    o pkg/obcs:
1657     - obcs_apply_uv.F: change to a 2 steps method, first tangential component;
1658       then normal component. This ensures that the normal component is set
1659       correctly even when it conficts with tangential setting from an other OB.
1660       Affects results of test-experiment seaice_obcs: update the output.txt
1661    o pkg/obcs:
1662     - add code to monitor statistics of dynamical fields at OB.
1663     - take OBCS_BALANCE code out of obcs_calc.F into new S/R OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW :
1664       - fix to OBCS_BALANCE code (right hFac ; deal with simple OB intersection).
1665       - change default: balance the Net inflow through all OB (instead of balancing
1666         each OB separately); keep the old method if setting OBC_balanceFacX < 0.
1667     - switch on useOBCSbalance in dome experiment: only correct Western OB outflow
1668       to match Nortern OB inflow (OBCS_balanceFacN=0).
1669    o pkg/seaice:
1670     - redefined actual sea ice age to be ICEAGE/HEFF ifdef SEAICE_AGE_VOL
1671    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.113):
1672     - reverting seaice_growth to v 1.111 in order to have code with exact bit
1673       compatibility with MITgcm_contrib/ifenty/Fenty_seaice_thermo_code_merge
1674       CPP option SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA removed in v 1.112 is reintroduced
1675       runtime flag SEAICEareaFormula is kept but is inactive
1676    o model/src:
1677     - add new param to scale curvilinear grid distance and area when using
1678       a different sphere radius from the grid-files.
1679     - test/check multi-threads EXCH applied to local variable (cg2d_x)
1680    o adjoint:
1681     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
1682     - add dummy_in_dynamics to enable extraction of ADJrhoinsitu
1683       (a bit delicate because of potentially modified adj. common block structure;
1684       current switch is ALLOW_AUTODIFF_MONITOR_DIAG, could be changed later)
1685    
1686    checkpoint62s (2011/02/15)
1687    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.112):
1688     - introduce SEAICEareaFormula run time parameter, which selects the recipe for
1689       computing the ice cover tendency from effective thickness tendencies. Include
1690       Ian Fenty's formula.
1691     - remove 'undef SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA' which may now be achieved using
1692       SEAICEareaFormula.
1693     - simplify notations for the various d_HEFF/d_AREA terms.
1694    o pkg/gmredi:
1695     - add Boundary-Value-Problem bolus transport (Ferrari etal, OM 2010) code
1696       from Christopher Wolfe (UCSD); add partial cell factor in vertical derivative;
1697       add a verification test-run (front_relax.bvp) to test GM_useBVP.
1698    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.111):
1699     - for SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH, replace Gael's implementation with Ian's.
1700     - the new SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_MELT allows open-water air-sea heat fluxes to
1701       also melt ice.
1702    o pkg/seaice:
1703     - McPhee formula for Ice-Ocean fluxes (provided by Ian Fenty).
1704     - can be used by #define MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
1705    o pkg/cheapaml:
1706     - from Nico Wienders: New version of this package.
1707    o pkg/flt:
1708     - add CPP options to prevent floats to re-enter the opposite side of
1709       a periodic domain (default: keep periodicity)
1710    o pkg/gmredi:
1711     - apply exchange to GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY to get valid values near CS-corners
1712       (needed for multi-dim advection).
1713     - switch on GM Advective form in global_ocean.cs32x15 and update output.txt
1714    o model/src:
1715     - fix wrong re-setting of addMass array (ALLOW_ADDFLUID) for atmospheric run.
1716    o tutorial_tracer_adjsens
1717     - extend to NLFS and replace maskC by hFacC
1718       (change reference output accordingly)
1719    
1720    checkpoint62r (2011/01/24)
1721    o testreport:
1722     - add option -deloutp (-do) to remove output file after successful run
1723     - add option -mfile (-mf) for MPI machile-file and for each test-exp,
1724       extract exact list of procs from this file ; adjust COMMAND by
1725       replacing TR_MFILE & TR_NPROC with local machile-file & Nb of MPI procs.
1726    o pkg/ecco: replace old ineffective way of penalizing deviations from
1727      first guess (of obcs) with code by Matt Mazloff
1728    o pkg/ctrl: add code that allows the use of ALLOW_OBCS?_CONTROL without
1729      exf/cal
1730      - ctrl_init: fix initialisation (computation of diffrec) for obcs-ctrl
1731        and handle case of obcs?period == 0
1732        Not affected by these changes: There is still an inconsistency in
1733        the computation of start/endrec for the obcs variables for ALLOW_CAL
1734        defined (see comment by Menemenlis, 7-Mar-2003)
1735      - make S/R ctrl_get_gen_rec return something meaningful even if
1736        ALLOW_CAL is not defined
1737      - ctrl_getobcs?: simplify code so that it does not need to use
1738                       S/R exf_swapfields
1739    o testreport:
1740       allow to test MPI with different number of processors for each experiment:
1741       create file "SIZE.h.mpi" in each build dir.
1742       Note: update of "-command" argument not yet implemented.
1743    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ecco, pkg/seaice:
1744      alleviate the need for additional 3D tapes when using
1745      the non-inear free surface in the adjoint. This is done
1746      by adding an 'update' of hfacc etc. to their current
1747      value at the beginning of forward_step.F.
1748    o pkg/seaice
1749      seaice_lsr: move stress-divergence computations out of outer pseudo-
1750      timestepping loop
1751    o pkg/obcs/obcs_prescribe_read.F: move 'CALL OBCS_EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD'
1752      up, so that the calls of the ctrl_* subroutines are really at the end
1753      of the routine.
1754    o pkg/gmredi:
1755      allow to specify a 2-D horizontal map and a 1-D vertical profil
1756      as scaling factor for Isopycnal diffusivity (Redi) and GM diffusivity.
1757    o pkg/seaice:
1758      move lsr iterations from seaice_dynsolver to seaice_lsr.
1759    o pkg/seaice:
1760      reduce memory footprint of seaice mutldim advection tapes,
1761      by using a 2D tape independent of the generic_advdiff ones,
1762      and setting GAD_AREA=1 etc. rather than GAD_AREA=101 etc.
1763    
1764    checkpoint62q (2010/12/29)
1765    o model/src:
1766      - check horizontal grid-spacing for unset or zero/negative values.
1767      - change AD test hs94.1x64x5 to be truly a 2-D set-up.
1768    o pkg/flt:
1769      - use (recent) mdsio S/R MDS_READVEC_LOC instead of local FLT_MDSREADVECTOR
1770      - precision of input and output files set according to readBinaryPrec
1771        and writeBinaryPrec (previously always 64.b), pickup remains at 64 bits.
1772      - initial float position from tiled file was not converted to index space
1773        (looks like a bug): fixed to make it similar to initial pos. global file.
1774    o global_ocean.cs32x15:
1775       change SIZE.h of AD set-up to get same tiling as with MPI.
1776       Update output_adm, output_adm.thsice (pass@14) & output_adm.seaice (fail@11)
1777    o model/src:
1778       add flag to control printing of domain fields (bathymetry, hFac ...) in
1779       ini_mask_etc (call to plot_fieds_xy*).
1780    o pkg/thsice:
1781       if useEXF, some forcing fields are not valid in overlap: fixed by computing
1782       over the interior only + apply EXCH at the end (like with SEAICE advection).
1783    o pkg/mdsio:
1784      - add 2 arguments to S/R MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL/S for overlap size of buffer
1785        to copy to/from, so that it can be used to replace MDS_PASS_WH_R8toRL/RS.
1786      - change barrier call for safe multi-threads access to 3-D shared buffer.
1787      - MDS_READ/WRITEVEC_LOC use buffers from MDSIO_BUFF_3D.h (instead of local ones)
1788      - replace call to MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL with call to MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL and
1789        remove the 4 S/R MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL/S.
1790    o pkg/flt:
1791      - add fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration
1792      - add basic exch2 support (only 1 facet supported so far!)
1793    o pkg/mdsio+rw:
1794      new S/R to read local (or tile independent) vector (read counterpart of
1795       mds_writevec_loc, and front-end write_glvec_rl/rs).
1796    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input_ad.seaice experiment
1797        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
1798        (using multidim advection for seaice)
1799    o towards more F95 syntax for array specification in namelist:
1800      - change "data.diagnostics" (data.ptracers was changed before checkpoint62p)
1801        of all verification experiments.
1802           e.g.:    line: fields(1,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
1803          was changed to: fields(1:2,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
1804      - finish adding "-DNML_EXTENDED_F77" to DEFINES list in pgf77 and g77 optfiles
1805    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input.seaice experiment
1806        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
1807    
1808    checkpoint62p (2010/12/17)
1809    o pkg/thsice: rename (ad tape index) iicekey as ticekey, and move it
1810        to THSICE_SIZE.h to avoid conflict with pkg/seaice.
1811    o pkg/seaice: add seaice_diffusion.f seaice_map_thsice.f to adjoint.
1812        allow for use of multim. advection in seaice adjoint.
1813    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for snow precipitation and sublimation flux
1814      - first attempt to close budgets by taking into account the freshwater
1815        flux implied by the sublimation of snow and ice. So far only the
1816        volume budget is closed, turn on with soon-to-be-retired-again CPP-Flag
1817        SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET
1818    o eesupp/src:
1819      new S/R with new option (NML_EXTENDED_F77) to change array specification
1820      from F95 standard to commonly accepted extended F77 form.
1821      This would allow to use F95 syntax in namelist (needed with gfortran 4.4.5)
1822      and to revert back to the original syntax (with -DNML_EXTENDED_F77)
1823      for less tolerant f77 compiler (e.g., pgf77, g77).
1824    o globalFiles:
1825      commented out in parameter file "data" since it's not safe with MPI
1826      (e.g., wrong on aces); keep it if useSingleCpuIO=T (but not doing much
1827      in this case); no longer commented out in restart test (tst_2+2).
1828    o add adTapeDir to specify a special directory where adjoint tapes are
1829      written/read (adread_adwrite.F). adTapeDir is specified in data/PARM05
1830      and cannot be used together with mdsioLocalDir.
1831    o nesting pkgs:
1832      - packages_init_variables : put call to OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES in last position
1833      - update Gianmaria's Nesting pkgs (from Contrib/nesting_sannino)
1834      - add parameter files + utils dir + output from short run on beagle.
1835    o pkg/seaice:
1836        fix seaice_growth.F store directives; update results of exp. lab_sea.ad
1837    o pkg/seaice: explicitly store tsurfloc in seaice_solve4temp.F to avoid
1838      unnecessary copying in adjoint code, requires new parameter NMAX_ITER
1839    
1840    checkpoint62o (2010/11/25)
1841    o pkg/exf:
1842      - change CPP option EXF_VERBOSE to run-time logical param exf_verbose.
1843    o pkg/seaice:
1844      - seaice_ocean_stress: split a loop for better vectorization of the
1845        adjoint code
1846      - seaice_growth.F: fix bug in conservation of freshwater connected to
1847        capping of heff, put contribution into d_HEFFbyNEG
1848      - replace irritating parameters SEAICE_latentWater/Ice and SEAICE_sensHeat
1849        by something more sensible (parameters that are what their name implies)
1850      - change some defaults, so that by default exf-parameters are used for
1851        things like rhoAir, cpAir,latent/sensible heat parameters, in order
1852        to reproduce the old results, many data.seaice now contain funny values
1853        for cpAir and latent heat of sublimation
1854    o packages_readparms.F: move exf_readparms up in line so that
1855        exf-parameters are visible for other packages (e.g. seaice)
1856    o debugMode & debugLevel=2:
1857      - differentiate between debugMode & debugLevel=2:
1858        debugMode: controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
1859        debugLevel: controls printing of algorithm intermediate results and stats.
1860      - remove "if debugLevel=2 => debugMode" but keep "debugMode =>  debugLevel=2";
1861        => allows to print debug-stats without all sequence of call messages.
1862      - switch control of debug print from debugLevel to debugMode in many S/R.
1863    o pkg/obcs (obcs-sponge):
1864        fix bug that was introduced on Oct 25 (in dynamics.F v1.151): put back the
1865        call to OBCS_PRESCRIBE_EXCHANGES (need to exch gU,gV when using obcs-sponge)
1866    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1867      - record overlap minimum size for each advection scheme;
1868      - refine criteria on overlap minimum size;
1869      - check and stop (in gad_check) if overlap size is too small.
1870    o pkg/obcs:
1871      - with ptracers: remove multiple calls to obcs_apply_ptracer (only done
1872        once, in ptracers_implicit.F)
1873      - with seaice: remove test on empty file name in obcs_apply_seaice (always
1874        apply OB values when tile has OB)
1875    o model/src, coriolis setting:
1876      - integer parameter "selectCoriMap" (=0,1,2) replaces 3 logical
1877        useConstantF, useBetaPlaneF, useSphereF ; can now read coriolis from
1878        files (selectCoriMap=3) with any grid.
1879      - add parameter "fPrime" for constant second Coriolis coeff (default=0).
1880    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1881        a few cosmetic changes that reduce the number of lines of code
1882    o pkg/obcs: add boundary conditions following Stevens (1990)
1883      - the code follows old MOM/NAOSIM code
1884      - so far it is only implemented for the eastern and western boundaries
1885        and NOT for pTracers
1886    o pkg/rbcs:
1887      - replace rbcsInIter by rbcsForcingOffset, the time in seconds at the
1888        beginning of the first rbcs forcing period.
1889      - add option rbcsSingleTimeFiles that makes rbcs read forcing data like the
1890        offline package, i.e., one file per time, labeled by iteration number;
1891        deltaTrbcs sets the timestep with which the data was generated;
1892        rbcsIter0 is the forcing iteration corresponding to rbcsForcingOffset.
1893      - rbcsForcingCycle=0 makes forcing non-cyclic.
1894      - make arithmetic safe for negative times and odd forcing periods.
1895    
1896    checkpoint62n (2010/11/09)
1897    o pkg/seaice:
1898        fix masking in free-drift S/R ; update results of exp. lab_sea.fd
1899    o pkg/obcs:
1900       New S/R to copy tracer value from the OB location to narrow band region
1901        (width = same as overlap) beyond the OB: preserve OB value (needed for
1902        high-order scheme) which were overwritten by EXCH call if in overlap
1903        region. Applied to theta, salt, ptracer and advected seaice variables.
1904       With seaice: use maskInC in similar way as in gad_advection.F,
1905        in seaice_advection.F and advect.F.
1906       Update output of experiment seaice_obcs and change exp4 to test OBCS with
1907        4th order Adv.Scheme. for pasive salt and ptracer.
1908    o tools/genmake2:
1909      - when looking for an optfile (not specified), only search for Fortran compiler
1910        (remove sym-link test + setting of CPP + makedepend check + C-compiler check)
1911      - in get_fortran_c_namemangling: use "$CC $CFLAG" to compile C test programm
1912        (instead of "$MAKE genmake_test.o" since an existing Makefile can be wrong)
1913      - set default for CPP to "cpp -traditional -P" (was the case without specifying
1914        an optfile, but otherwise default was just "cpp".
1915      - comment out PLATFORM=$p_PLATFORM (no idea where p_PLATFORM comes from)
1916      - when "CC" is not set in the optfile, look for possible C compiler
1917        (instead of just setting CC=cc)
1918      - put back version v.169 modif (from 2008/02/15), was dropped in v.173 changes:
1919        => add a ".F" to ".o" rule for source files with no "#include" (such as
1920           port_rand.F); otherwise, default ignores FOPTIM and just uses FFLAGS.
1921      - move gfortran before g77 in list of possible Fortran compiler (consistent
1922        with reference compiler switch from g77 to gfortran)
1923    o pkg/seaice:
1924      o remove SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION-code, add a test to
1925        seaice_check that stops the model, when the CPP flag is used.
1926      o seaice_growth.F: make capping of ice volume conserving by returning the
1927        capped ice as freshwater to EmPmR. This does not change the verification
1928        experiments but will change runs where the capping is acutally active
1929    o change reference platform+compiler from faulks+g77 to baudelaire+gfortran
1930      (except the 2 fizhi test exp.); update output of exp.: bottom_ctrl_5x5,
1931         global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn, thsice, AD thsice), global_ocean_ebm (AD),
1932         lab_sea (fd, hb87, salt_plume), MLAdjust (3/5) and vermix (dd)
1933    o tools/genmake2:
1934      - merge genmake_warnings & genmake_errors into 1 log file: "genmake.log")
1935      - change DUMPSTATE default to false (can use "-ds" option to switch it to T)
1936      - clean previous genmake log files before anything else.
1937      - change Makefile to remove testreport log files (*.tr_log) and genmake log
1938        files only with "CLEAN" target (instead of "Clean");
1939    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1940      Change OBCS in multiDim advection (gad_advection.F):
1941       Use maskInC to prevent intermediate update of tracer-field in OB regions,
1942       thus keeping current-time-step OB values; and remove the call to OBCS_APPLY
1943       which were applying future time-step OB values.
1944      This way, all explicit calculations use current-time-step OB values
1945       (simpler and more consistent).
1946      Affects results when set-up uses time-varying OBC and multi-dim advection;
1947       update output of experiment seaice_obcs.
1948    o pkg/seaice:
1949      move OPTIONS (formerly locally defined) to SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
1950       this includes SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY (+ SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH &
1951         SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA ) and SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
1952      Default (pkg/seaice/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h) is to define SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
1953       but leave SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY undef ; For now, keep verification exp
1954       unchanged (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY defined in */code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
1955    o pkg aim (2010/10/26):
1956      - Introduce ALLOW_INSOLATION, moving toward a more general incoming solar radiation
1957        formulation with obliquity, eccentricity, ... as run-time parameters,
1958      - Introduce diagnostics for top-of-the-atmaophere incoming solar radiation and
1959        upward shortwave radition at the surface (all-sky and clear-sky).
1960    o pkg/obcs:
1961      - writing sections with globalFiles=T does not work: switch to tiled-files
1962        when writing sections for OBCS (change pkg/rw/write_rec.F accordingly).
1963      - fix index bug (OB_Ie -> OB_Iw_) in obcs_apply_uvice.F
1964      - apply OBCS_SEAICE_COMPUTE_UVICE to both uice and vice at all obcs
1965    
1966    checkpoint62m (2010/10/21)
1967    o pkg/seaice: vectorize seaice_solve4temp.F
1968      - move iterations loops outside of i/j-loops
1969      - requires 2D arrays for TB and effConduct
1970      - add 2D iceOrNot to replace HICE_ACTUAL.GT.0, as HICE_ACTUAL is
1971        modified in this routine
1972      - a little bit of clean up, adjusting indentation, etc.
1973      - replaced a few TEN**a by exp(a*log(10.)) in new code for better
1974        performance and '**TWO' by '**2' (because TWO is a float),
1975        replaced ONE, ZERO
1976    o eesupp/src:
1977       fix flow dir for exch1_z_RX_cube, exch1_uv_RX_cube & exch1_bg_RX_cube
1978    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
1979      Revision 1.89 of seaice_growth.F completes the overall october 2010 revision and
1980      merging process. The merged routine has two branches, and one activates the 'evolution'
1981      branch by setting SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY to undef (at the top of the routine for now).
1982      In summary, here is what the '10/10 revision' did consist of
1983        part 1: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.71 to 1.75
1984          - Preliminary seaice_growth.F clean-up, keeping test results strictly unchanged.
1985            The emphasis here was on improving readability (e.g. by trying to use meaningful
1986            variable names) and modularity (e.g. by adding arrays to store heff etc. updates).
1987        part 1.5:
1988          - revising the lab_sea experiment to make it a more useful (i.e. stable
1989            and representative of an actual model run). This was done by generating a
1990            (winter) pickup to start from, switching back the main experiment dynamic
1991            solver from evp to lsr, having one of the experiments use the free drift solution.
1992        part 2: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.76 to 1.85
1993          - Sorting out hard-coded constants that prevented heat and fresh water conservation.
1994          - Sorting out the various fields units and sign (set early on and reset at the end)
1995            to avoid numerous scalings/re-scalings. By v1.85 the basic unit for ice, heat and
1996            fresh water stock is 'effective ice meters', and >0 implies more ice/snow.
1997          - Using tendency terms arrays (d_HEFF* etc.) to alleviate remaining code locks,
1998            and simplifying logical expressions to further improve readibility.
1999        part 3: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.86 to 1.89
2000          - Re-organize the blocks of code more logically.
2001          - Merging the '_if.F' pieces that add something new.
2002    o pkg/thsice:
2003      - vectorize thsice_solve4temp and thsice_get_exf.
2004        Problem: thsice_solve4temp has an unvectorizable statement that
2005        might also be problematic for TAF
2006      - thsice_get_exf: add the ALLOW_BULK_LARGEYEAGER04 CPP-flag. This
2007        does not change the verifcation experiment, but will change all
2008        experiments that have this flag undefined (not tested in verification);
2009        a little reorganization to save a few 2D fields and recomputations
2010      - 1st step of revisiting thsice adjoint (major recomp. sorted out)
2011      - 2nd step:  fix some store dirs
2012        o seems to work somewhat, i.e. using ifort but not g77
2013        o likely cause are incomplete init. or recomputation
2014        o start verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input_ad.thsice
2015    o pkg/obcs: add support for exch2
2016      - the position of the boundary and prescribed values are specified using
2017        a global domain with exch2 facets stacked
2018        - in x for N,S boundaries (like W2_mapIO=-1)
2019        - in y for E,W boundaries (so E,W boundaries do not overlap)
2020    o pkg/mdsio: add support for writing global sections with exch2
2021        file layout is as for obcs described above:
2022        - for x-z sections, facets are stacked in x (like W2_mapIO=-1)
2023        - for y-z sections, facets are stacked in y
2024    o pkg/thsice:
2025       - change a few routines for better vectorization: thsice_albedo.F,
2026         thsice_step_temp.F, and in thsice_calc_thickn.F. Results are
2027         not affected, but in particular the latter routine has changed
2028         dramatically (not necessarily easier to read now).
2029       - re-arrange calculation in THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP: move outside of i,j loops
2030       iteration loop and call to S/R THSICE_GET_BULKF & THSICE_GET_EXF.
2031    o verification/lab_sea:
2032      - overhaul of the forward model experiments. The main motivation
2033        for this revision is that lab_sea has proven quite fragile (when
2034        changing the sea-ice code, and switching platforms) to a point
2035        when failures were very hard to attribute to specific code problems.
2036      - the suspected reason for this fragility is noise amplification by evp so,
2037        to start with, we decided to replace evp with lsr in the main experiment.
2038      - the input.lsr experiment thus became obsolete and was removed.
2039      - it was replaced with the input.fd experiment that uses an
2040        analytical "free drift" solution as the ice velocity field.
2041      - Taken together, input (lsr), input.fd (free drift) and input.hb87 (evp)
2042        will hopefully allow us to discriminate problems due to dynamic solvers
2043        from problems due to the thermodynamic code. input.salt_plume (lsr) allows
2044        us to test additional options, along with the salt plume package.
2045      - Finally a pickup was generated (at the end of a one year run) to
2046        make the tests more representative of an actual model run. Previously
2047        the tests starting point was a 1m thickness of ice everywhere.
2048    o pkg/seaice:
2049      - introducing S\R seaice_freedrift.F that compute the
2050        analytical solution to an approximate ice momentum
2051        equation (i.e. the simple stress/coriolis balance).
2052      - define SEAICE_ALLOW_FREEDRIFT to trigger the computation
2053        of the free drift velocity field, and enable its use.
2054        To actually use the free drift solution as the model ice
2055        velocity field set SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT to .TRUE. in data.seaice.
2056    o move "useOASIS" from PARAMS.h to EEPARAMS.h and read it from "eedata"
2057    
2058    checkpoint62l (2010/10/04)
2059    o pkg/seaice:
2060      -fix the USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version (for variable freezing point);
2061      -use "celsius2K" in SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT and in new
2062       version (with USE_ORIGINAL_SBI undef);
2063    o add hooks for new packages OASIS, the package will follow
2064      (hooks exclude the seaice pkg for now)
2065    o pkg/autodiff: ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
2066      Option to use mdsio_read_whalos.F/mdsio_write_whalos.F,
2067      rather than mdsio_readvector.F/mdsio_writevector.F, within
2068      adread_adwrite.F to read/write adjoint-related tapes to disk.
2069    o eesupp and pkg/mdsio: ALLOW_WHIO
2070      Option to write/read 2D fields to files including tiles halos.
2071      The main purpose is for adjoint related "tape I/O".
2072      The secondary purpose is for debugging phases.
2073      A word on those rather specifically intended purposes.
2074      The code was meant to be stripped down to the bare minimum.
2075      Typically, there is a unique and basic mapping to the global
2076      buffer (tile by tile, then proc by proc, then level by level), and
2077      byteswaps and meta-files are omitted. Indeed the (*_WH*) code is not
2078      meant to generate user friendly outputs of various shapes and forms.
2079      Rather it is intended, for the knowledgeabale developers,
2080      to be largely independent of the many mdsio options, to allow
2081      outputs of tiles+halos in debugging phases and in adjoint runs,
2082      and to allow some flexibility in tuning (adoint) I/O depending on each
2083      file system behavior. With regard to tuning, most of the potential knobs
2084      (to leave files open, to allocate the I/O indep. of usesinglecpuio,
2085      to specify directories, to specify the typical size of I/O calls, etc.)
2086      are not yet included, and will be added if they prove useful.
2087    o pkg/seaice:
2088       fix uninitialised arrays in USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version of seaice_solve4temp.F
2089    o pkg/seaice:
2090       new S/R seaice_solve4temp.F: this is the merged version of Ian Fenty
2091       code (seaice_budget_ice_if.F) which enable to recover old standard
2092       code (seaice_budget_ice.F) when option USE_ORIGINAL_SBI is defined.
2093       temporary: add "#define USE_ORIGINAL_SBI" at the top of seaice_solve4temp.F.
2094    o model/src (rStar):
2095       use simple average (not area weighted) of rStarFac at U,V point when using
2096       vectorInvariant and selectKEscheme=1,3 (consistent with mom. vertical advection)
2097       update output of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 and fizhi-cs-aqualev20.
2098    
2099    checkpoint62k (2010/09/17)
2100    o adjoint
2101       * changed verification/global_ocean.cs32x15 ; adjoint now tests
2102         Adams-Bashforth 3 + NLFS + RSTAR
2103       * some more modifs required for ECCO-GODAE v4
2104    o pkg/seaice
2105       add SEAICE_AGE_VOL option to use volume instead of area for
2106       integrating SEAICE_AGE
2107    o model/src:
2108       first check-in of sigma & hybrid-sigma coordinate code ; also includes
2109       non-linear free-surface parts ; but pressure-gradient not yet coded.
2110    o pkg/ptracers:
2111       option for ptracer to convert Salt Relax into additional EmP.
2112        tested in exp. global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp (update output)
2113    
2114    checkpoint62j (2010/08/25)
2115    o pkg/ggl90:
2116       other minor changes: remove 3-D temp array gTKE (+ add argument myIter)
2117    o pkg/dic: car_flux.F, phos_flux.F
2118      - reduce number of exp-calls in order to improve performance
2119      - clean up a little (replace fields by their macros, etc., fix
2120        typo in CPP-flag)
2121    o pkg/ggl90: minor changes
2122      - GGL90diffKrS was removed --> always use GGL90diffKr
2123      - GGL90viscAr was removed --> replaced with GGL90viscArU, GGL90viscArV
2124      - hack of mxlMaxFlag=2 --> ensure mixing between first and second level
2125        (commented out for now)
2126      - change in max/min operations to ensure that smoothing is ok
2127      - smoothing of GGL90viscAr was moved to ggl90_calc.F (as done for GGL90diffKr)
2128      - always use diffKrNrT as background profile (i.e. never use diffKr field)
2129    o pkg/cfc: bug fix, AREA(i,j,1,bi,bj) -> AREA(i,j,bi,bj)
2130    o pkg/dic:
2131      - model/src/impldiff.F: if TARGET_NEC_SX, extend loop ranges for better
2132        vectorization
2133      - small bug fix in insol for the unlikely case of a cartesian grid
2134      - towards vectorizing the dic package: bio_export.F, car_flux.F, phos_flux.F
2135        + now vectorize, which also removes adjoint recomputations;
2136        + replace integer maksp1 by _RL maskp1
2137        + replace a**x by exp(x*log(a)) in phos_flux.F for speed
2138    
2139    checkpoint62i (2010/07/21)
2140    o pkg/flt:
2141      - with OBCS: stop floats which enter the OB region
2142    o model/src:
2143      - use tempVertAdvScheme & saltVertAdvScheme (instead of horizontal ones)
2144        for implicit vertical advection.
2145    o pkg/seaice:
2146     - account for melting in seaice age evolution.
2147     - remove double counting of seaice ridging effect on seaice age.
2148    
2149    checkpoint62h (2010/06/18)
2150    o pkg/exch2:
2151     - remove exch2_*xy_rx files: call was replaced with exch2_*3d_rx(myNz=1).
2152    o tools/genmake2
2153      - remove "-pdefault" option: redundant with the use of "packages.conf";
2154      - remove file pkg/pkg_default : set the default as a pkg group
2155        ("default_pkg_list") defined in pkg/pkg_groups;
2156      - fix for case pkg/pkg_depend is missing (was hanging before);
2157      - add option "-pgroups" to specify a different pkg_groups than the default.
2158    o verification/adjustment.cs-32x32x1:
2159       add a "minimal" set-up test (code_min & input_min) which only compiles
2160       eesupp/src and the 2 pkgs (exch2 & debug) which don't need model/src & inc.
2161    o tools/genmake2
2162      - extend pkg_depend rules to model & eesupp (e.g., if model depend on [pkg]))
2163      - fix details of checking for mnc & profile pkg when NetCDF is unavailable.
2164    o pkg/exf: merge exf_bulk_largeyeager04 into exf_bulkformulae because these
2165      files are nearly the same anyway.
2166      Step 1: make exf_bulkformulae look like exf_bulk_largeyeager04:
2167       - redefinition of tau(i,i) (by a factor of ustar)
2168       - 1./exf(Const/T) -> exf(-Const/T) (big change in the results)
2169       - replace rhonil by rhoConstFresh in computation of evap (bug fix)
2170       - replace u/vstress=tau*rd*ws*cw by tau*rd*u/vwind (changes results)
2171       - replace
2172         rd(i,j)= rdn(i,j)/(exf_one - rdn(i,j)/karman*psimh )
2173         shn    = sh(i,j,bi,bj)*rd(i,j)/rdn(i,j)
2174         by
2175         shn    = sh(i,j,bi,bj)/(exf_one - rdn(i,j)/karman*psimh )
2176         (changes results)
2177       -> exf_bulkformulae v1.22,
2178          update verification experiments lab_sea, offline_exf_seaice, seaice_obcs
2179          (lab_sea: output.hb87.txt 1.11, output.lsr.txt 1.25, output.salt_plume.txt 1.13,
2180                    output.txt 1.63
2181           offline_exf_seaice: output.seaicetd.txt 1.7
2182           seaice_obcs: output.txt 1.10)
2183      Step 2: do the actual merge and remove exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F
2184       -> exf_bulkformulae v1.23,
2185          unfortunately requires updating lab_sea.salt_plume (6 matching digits),
2186          and global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (only 11 matching digits)
2187      Also update output_adm of exp. lab_sea (all 4) and offline_exf_seaice.
2188    o adjoint of exch-1:
2189     - pass high-level EXCH S/R through TAF (eesupp/src/exch_ad_diff.list)
2190       (note: was already like this when using EXCH-2) and remove flow dir
2191       and hand-written AD version of high-level EXCH S/R (pkg/autodiff);
2192     - provide flow-dir for low-level exch1 S/R (eesupp/src/exch1_ad.flow);
2193     - update pkg/exch2 diff list.
2194    
2195    checkpoint62g (2010/05/19)
2196    o eesupp/src (exch-1):
2197     - split exch_rx.F into Forward S/R (exch1_rx.F) and Adjoint S/R (exch1_rx_ad.F)
2198       and remove argument "simulationMode"; same thing for all exch_*rx_cube.F
2199       (renamed to exch1_*rx_cube.F).
2200     - change accordingly exch_*_rx.template and AD version in pkg/autodiff
2201       to call new exch1 S/R ; update Makefile and .cvsignore.
2202     - replace call to exch2_xy_rx S/R with exch2_*3d_rx(myNz=1) (will remove
2203       exch2_xy_rx later)
2204      Note: after updating your code, need to run "make clean" in eesupp/src
2205    o test experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5:
2206       new output_adm.txt with fewer grdchk & less monitor output.
2207    o model/src:
2208      remove the call to ini_cori in initialise_varia.F (just keep the usual one
2209       in initialise_fixed.F). More consistent with coriolis & horizontal grid
2210       beeing treated in the same way (ini_grid is not called a 2nd time).
2211    o pkg/exf:
2212      - rewrite exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F for better vectorization, changes
2213      global_ocean.cs32x15/input.icedyn (11 digits of agreement), updated
2214      - fix adjoint (used worked for ALLOW_ATM_WIND defined, works for this now)
2215      - cosmetic changes to exf_bulkformulae.F to make it look more like
2216        exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F
2217    o eesupp/src (exch-1):
2218      - Fix AD EXCH code for 2-D domain special cases (Nx=1 or Ny=1).
2219      - Separate buffer filling and MPI sending: allow EXCH-1 to work for local
2220        array (non-shared) when using MPI+MTH. Also reduces number of BARRIER
2221        (even without using MPI).
2222      - Message mode: move RecvAck setting (indicator of buffer being ready)
2223        from send_put to recv_get S/R (was useless before, but not sure if
2224        it's much more useful now);
2225      - Switch the order of sync: MPI-proc 1rst and then threads;
2226      - take out spin-waiting code (#undef EXCH_USE_SPINNING), use BARRIER instead.
2227      - fix AD code for communication mode ='get' (but not used).
2228    o model/src:
2229      initialise dPhiHydX,dPhiHydY inside calc_grad_phi_hyd.F (so that TAF does
2230      not drop it in S/R mddynamics, producing NaN in hs94.1x64x5 AD-test exp).
2231    o utils/matlab/rdmnc.m: adapt to be able to use the generic matlab netcdf API
2232    o pkg/ctrl: require a specific set of control variables and exf-flags for
2233      adjoint of seaice (stop in ctrl_check.F if conditions are not satisfied)
2234    o model/src:
2235     a) 1rst version of a new driver S/R to turn-off output freq and flags after the
2236       1rst forward sweep, to avoid over-writing output files during recomputations
2237       recomputations (& grdchk); called from cost_final.F (& ctrl_init_ctrlvar.F ?)
2238     b) 2nd version:
2239      - add specific pkg S/R for seaice & ptracers (called from S/R TURNOFF_MODEL_IO);
2240      - switch-off more output flags (exf_monFreq, chkPtFreq, dumpInitAndLast,
2241         writePickupAtEnd) + seaice & ptracers output;
2242      - do not switch off MNC flags (otherwise, won't get admonitor netcdf file)
2243    o model/src:
2244      - new S/R rotate_uv2en_rl (..._rs) that rotates vector fields.
2245    o pkg/exch2:
2246      - remove "simulationMode" from arg. list of S/R EXCH2_RX1,2_CUBE ;
2247      - add argument "signOption" to EXCH2_RX1_CUBE (will be needed for SM exch).
2248    o pkg/autodiff & exch2:
2249      process exch_uv_agrid_3d_rx.f & exch2_uv_agrid_3d_rx.f through TAF
2250      (for now, only if ALLOW_EXCH2 is defined).
2251    o pkg/autodiff:
2252      - include PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in exch*ad.flow & exch*ad.F
2253        (not supposed to be in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to get ALLOW_EXCH2 defined correctly.
2254       + clean-up comments (_RS is not always real*4)
2255      - fix bug in ADEXCH_UV_3D_RX (without EXCH2, was calling the forward exch S/R)
2256      - add a stop in ADEXCH_UV_AGRID_3D_RX if trying to use it with EXCH2:
2257        was calling a forward exch2, which is wrong ; used in SEAICE & EXF pkgs.
2258    o testreport (AD-tests):
2259      no longer link files from dir "../input" (1rst link files from
2260      "../input_ad.[xx]" if secondary test "xx" and then from "../input_ad")
2261    
2262    checkpoint62f (2010/04/29)
2263    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
2264      adjust store directives for seaice evp and multicategory according to
2265      pkg/ecco/the_main_loop.F
2266    o adjoint:
2267      global_sum_ad was incomplete (noted many times by many people ;)
2268      nice description by Jean U. as follows:
2269      * allreduce(var) in global_sum.F can be interpreted as
2270        reduce(sum) followed by broadcast of sum.
2271      * The adjoint of that is
2272        sum(adjoint) followed by broadcast(summed adjoint value)
2273        or in other words, allreduce(sum, adjoint vars)
2274      We were missing the sum(adjoint)!
2275      Benign, except(!) for "global" scalars appearing in tile loops (bi,bj)
2276      (noted by J.M. Campin, e.g., in cost_ssh_mean, variable offset).
2277      The fix should produce 16-digit accuracy between
2278      single-CPU multi-tile (e.g. nSx=2, nPx=1) and
2279      multi-CPU single-tile (e.g. nSx=1, nPx-2)
2280      We'll probably change this yet again shortly
2281    o eesupp/src:
2282      - fix global_sum_r4 (wrong from previous modif in Jun 2009; ever used ?)
2283    o pkg/icefront
2284      - ALLOW_SUBGLACIAL_RUNOFF option adds capability for time-evolving
2285        specification of addmass array based on a 2D field, which is added
2286        at bottommost wet level at each horizontal location.
2287    o model/src:
2288     horizontal grid initialisation (other than curvilinear): add code for Exch2 IO
2289     layout; (not always compatible with delX,delY setting; commented out for now).
2290    o pkg/exch2:
2291     change tile to processor setting (case nSy*nPy > 1): allows default model mapping
2292     (myX and myYGlobalLow) to be used for simple (1 facet, no blank tile) config.
2293    
2294    checkpoint62e (2010/04/15)
2295    o pkg/obcs:
2296      - fix wrong index in OBCS_SPONGE_V for Eastern-OB (reported by David Hebert).
2297    o pkg/dic:
2298      -fix bug in fe_chem.F for multi-tile (nSx*nSy > 1) set-up;
2299        (note: not presently tested in any forward verification exp.)
2300       update tutorial_global_oce_biogeo AD output file.
2301    o pkg/exf:
2302      - account for the variation of albedo as a function of zenith angle
2303        by defining ALLOW_ZENITHANGLE in EXF_OPTIONS.h
2304    o build_options:
2305     - rename "linux_ia64_ifort+mpi_ice_nas" to "linux_amd64_ifort+mpi_ice_nas"
2306    o pkg/dic:
2307      change DIC atmos-CO2 box (method 3, dic_int1=3) initialisation & restart:
2308      - use binary pickup file for restart;
2309      - initialise atmos-CO2 box from dic_pCO2 parameter;
2310      - fix multi-threaded.
2311    o pkg/rbcs:
2312     - clean-up RBCS code: add RBCS_OPTIONS.h file ; fix multi-threaded ;
2313       change (+ fix IO calls) type of array RBC_mask from _RL to _RS.
2314     - add RBCS to exp4 passive tracer 01 (rbcs was previously untested)
2315       and update output.txt
2316    o pkg/kpp:
2317     - add diagnostics for KPP non-local flux of Temp, Salinity and pTracers;
2318     - change diagnostic of KPP non-local term: output average of KPPghat*KPPdiffKzS
2319       (= ratio of KPP non-local (salt) flux relative to surface-flux) when
2320       using pkg/timeave & pkg/diagnostics (diag 'KPPghatK' replaces 'KPPghat ');
2321     - change pkg/offline to read-in average KPPghat*KPPdiffKzS from file
2322       KPP_ghatKFile (instead of the average of KPPghat from file KPP_ghatFile).
2323    o pkg/offline:
2324      fix bug in S/R OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD regarding surfaceForcing conversion factor
2325      (bug was added in version 1.10 on 2007-08-23).
2326    o pkg/offline:
2327      - no need to specify periodicExternalForcing, etc ... to use offline pack
2328      - offline input files no longer just single prec --> parameter offlineLoadPrec
2329    o verification/lab_sea:
2330      change AD test to multi-tile setup and update all 4 AD output.
2331      NOTE: while cost function values remain very similar,
2332      gradients are very different, although gradient checks are self-consistent
2333      Should try to get to the bottom of this (cost function summation order?)
2334    o pkg/dic:
2335      in carbon_chem.F, replace log10 (AUTODIFF) with explicit form to avoid
2336      a weakness of TAF that drops part of double precision in log10 derivative.
2337      <= changes removed since problem has been fixed in current TAF version 1.9.71
2338      update AD output of exp. tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
2339    o pkg/ecco:
2340      add missing "_d 0" in cost_readers.F, cost_readtopex.F & cost_readtopexmean.F
2341      update all 4 lab_sea AD output.
2342    
2343    checkpoint62d (2010/03/22)
2344    o build_options:
2345      remove '-r8' (and '-i4') from linux_*pgf and linux_*ifort optfiles.
2346    o remove unbalanced quote (single or double) in commented line of source code
2347      (may cause some warning with some preprocessor/makedepend versions).
2348    o pkg/seaice:
2349      fix seaice_model.F for adjoint (gael) and update AD results of experiments
2350       lab_sea (std + evp + noseaicedyn) and offline_exf_seaice.
2351    o testreport:
2352      add option '-runonly' (short: '-ro') to just do the run part (without make).
2353    o eesupp: remove JAM communication code (obsolete).
2354    o add option to genmake2 & testreport to switch "_RS" type to "real*4"
2355      (if allowed in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h); update default CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and return
2356      to default CPP_EEOPTIONS.h for exp. inverted_barometer & solid-body.cs-32x32x1
2357      (update also the output).
2358    
2359    checkpoint62c (2010/03/02)
2360    o tools/build_options :
2361       move (some) old optfiles from build_options/ to build_options/unsupported/
2362    o model/src and pkg/exf
2363       surface relaxation -- separating data and data.exf options
2364       The point is to ensure that we specify the surface relaxation
2365       either in data or in data.exf (but not half and half) and to
2366       avoid an accidental relaxation to 0 (which happened if a time
2367       scale was specified but the file name was left empty)
2368    o model/src model/inc and pkg/mom_common
2369       ALLOW_3D_VISCAH/ALLOW_3D_VISCA4 => 3D specification of Viscosity
2370       => addition to the viscosity field as computed by others schemes
2371    o tools/build_options:
2372      - rename "_generic_mpi" -> "+mpi_generic" (like other "+mpi" optfile)
2373        but keep the former optfile for few weeks for smooth transition
2374    o pkg/ecco
2375      - allow user defined cost function contributions
2376         CPP: ALLOW_USERCOST_CONTRIBUTION
2377         USAGE: compute contributions in cost_usercost_all.F
2378      - note: this is identical to what ALLOW_GENCOST_CONTRIBUTION once was.
2379          the two options are complementary.
2380    o pkg/smooth
2381      - migration from contrib to the main repository
2382    
2383    checkpoint62b (2010/01/26)
2384    o pkg/monitor:
2385      - change back mon_printstats_rl.F & mon_stats_rl.F and add a stop
2386        (in case someone forgot to update customized pieces of code)
2387    o nonHydrostatic:
2388      - add Non-hydrostatic free-surface form (selectNHfreeSurf=1)(not fully tested);
2389      - add a simple 2-D experiment (short_surf_wave) to test it.
2390    o pkg/icefront:
2391       adding the shell of, and the hooks to, a new package that
2392       will model melting and freezing of vertical glacier ice fronts
2393    o momentum:
2394      add diagnostics of momentum tendency from Hydrostatic pressure gradient
2395       (without surf.pressure term: would need a 2nd filling since implicit term).
2396    o add 3 "_d 0"s so that fizhi compiles with xlf on iblade, and replace
2397      two " &end" by " &" (in fizhi-cs-*) because S/R NML_SET_TERMINATOR
2398      cannot deal with the former
2399    o cleaning:
2400      - remove all (except OpenAD) old TLM output from results_ad dirs.
2401      - remove unused S/R (MDSWRITEMETA, DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST, old DFILE IO S/R)
2402      - comment out maskH definition (replaced by maskInC)
2403    o pkg/monitor:
2404      - change mon_printstats_rl.F & mon_stats_rl.F (were similar to mon_writestats_rl
2405        & mon_calc_stats_rl) to be the RL equivalent of mon_printstats_rs & mon_stats_rs.
2406    
2407    checkpoint62a (2010/01/15)
2408    o model/src:
2409      - bottom pressure diagnostic: correct for r* (when nonlinFreeSurf >= 4)
2410    o pkg/diagnostics:
2411      - add optional level number diagnostics (i.e., level number to be define
2412        explictly with S/R DIAGNOSTICS_SETKLEV) with parser-code(10)="X".
2413      - strictly check for valid parser-code(10) ;
2414      - check if adding diag to the list from the right place.
2415    o pkg/longstep:
2416      - change parameters and fix tracer conservation with rstar/nonlinear free surface
2417    o diagnostics:
2418     - in all pkgs, replace remaining calls to old S/R DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST with newer
2419       S/R DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST ; fix seaice VICE diagnostics.
2420  o pkg/diagnostics:  o pkg/diagnostics:
2421   - Add option for writing vertical integral (sum of selected levels) of an output   - Add option for writing vertical integral (sum of selected levels) of an output
2422      field instead of writing output field levels. Activate this option on a per      field instead of writing output field levels. Activate this option on a per
