4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o verification/cpl_aim+ocn:
8      - generate new reference output on baudelaire (gfortran, mpich2) (previously
9        from old aces-grid cluster, ao + ifort) and update 'run_cpl_test' script.
10    o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
11      - add code for northern and southern boundaries.
12      - reorder some loops to save some operations and so that drFBar can be scalar
13    o model/src:
14      - re-arrange extrapolation calculation in Adams-Bashforth S/R (affects machine
15        truncation) and add diagnostics for Adams-Bashforth tendency increment.
16      - update test-exp. AD output:
17        1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5, lab_sea.noseaicedyn, obcs_ctrl;
18      and FWD output: exp4 (x3), fizhi-cs-32x32x40, fizhi-cs-aqualev20,
19        front_relax (x3), global_ocean.90x40x15 (x2), global_ocean.cs32x15 (x5),
20        global_ocean_ebm, ideal_2D_oce, internal_wave, isomip (x3), lab_sea (x4),
21        matrix_example, MLAdjust (x5), natl_box (x2), tutorial_advection_in_gyre,
22        tutorial_global_oce_in_p, tutorial_global_oce_latlon and
23        tutorial_plume_on_slope.
24    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F: add special code for TARGET_NEC_SX
25      that vectorises. This code uses 3 extra 2D fields, F90 array assignments
26      and F90 intrinsic routines SUM, MINVAL, MAXVAL, but since TARGET_NEC_SX
27      does not even come with an F77 compiler anymore, this should not be
28      a limitation
29    
30    checkpoint63e (2011/11/06)
31    o pkg/seaice adjoint of LSR:
32      - substantially rework STORE dirs.
33      - add new flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER and parameter SOLV_MAX_FIXED
34        this flag will do SOLV_MAX_ITERS but only store SOLV_MAX_FIXED fields
35        and only perform SOLV_MAX_FIXED adjoint iters.
36        If flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undef-ined, the store in the iteration
37        always goes to same record, meaning that the last forward field will be
38        the one used in the adjoint - an approximation.
39      - now produces non-zero LSR-related gradients, and acceptable gradients for
40        An's zonal (x-z) test case (to be checked in)
41      - lab_sea: produces acceptable gradients for lab_sea with forward/backward LSR
42        (but these are screwed up by the thermodynamics in the first place);
43        reduce from 4 to 3 timesteps to avoid t.d. issue as temporary solution;
44        output_adm.txt also reflects changes to seaice_lsr
45      - global_ocean.cs32x15:
46        * the "default" input_ad.seaice has been re-defined to always exclude dynamics
47          (output_adm.seaice.txt was updated)
48        * new input_ad.seaice_dynmix tests a forward LSR / backward free-drift
49          (output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt)
50    o test-exp. exp4+stevens:
51      - switch off pTracers and nonHydrostatic (restart problems with NH); update output
52    o pkg/seaice (lsr solver):
53      - put coriolis term into FORCEX,Y (as in seaice_evp.F; previously in rhsU,V only);
54        update output (change truncation) of FWD test exp lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15
55      - fix SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT for new OBCS version (ndef OBCS_UVICE_OLD)
56      - new parameter "LSR_mixIniGuess" allows (if=2,4) to mix free-drift solution
57        into initial guess for linearised solver; use weight ~ (1/err)^2,4.
58      - compute (with new S/R) and print initial (+ free-driff sol. if available)
59        and final residual of linearised system.
60    o pkg/pp81: add diagnostics for vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivity
61      (requires new subroutines pp81_init_fixed.F/pp81_diagnostics_init.F)
62    o pkg/obcs: Stevens BCs (still only for east and west)
63      - fix Stevens BCs by using intermediate velocities of previous
64        time step as "baroclinic" contribution rather velocity of one grid cell
65        inside the boundaries; more consistent but makes the entire treatment
66        more complicated, requires new pickup files and two new S/Rs:
67        obcs_copy_uv_n and obcs_save_uv_n
68        keep old version with flag OBCS_STEVENS_USE_INTERIOR_VELOCITY
69        (undefined by default)
70      - silently move computation of some grid factors into separate loops to
71        save some recomputations
72      - add a hack for non-linear free surface
73      - add a verification experiment to exp4 that tests this code
74    o make gluemnc/xplodemnc work with (moron) non-GNU shell tools
75    
76    checkpoint63d (2011/10/25)
77    o pkg/obcs + seaice-dynamics:
78      - new implementation calls OBCS_APPLY_UVICE (in seaice_dynsolver.F) before
79        solving for uIce,vIce and prevent SEAICE_LSR or SEAICE_EVP to modify OB
80        values (consistent with an implicit method).
81      - add option OBCS_UVICE_OLD (in OBCS_OPTIONS.h, defined by default) to
82        return to older implementation (same results as before); note that none of
83        the "experimental" OBCS_SEAICE options are implemented in the new version.
84      - switch test exp. seaice_obcs to use new version (update output).
85    o pkg/seaice:
86      - add few stop (B-grid & CS-exch, B-grid & obcs, AUTODIFF & SEAICE_maskRHS)
87      - add parenthesis in Water-Ice drag calculations (evp & lsr);
88      - in seaice_lsr.F, simplify and fix AA3 setting in case sNx or sNy=1;
89        and fix case SEAICE_waterDrag=0 (but unstable if no or little seaice)
90      - update output of test exp lab_sea that uses evp or lsr (fwd+ad)
91        and global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn & seaice fwd+ad).
92    o pkg/layers:
93      - Include potential density as new coordinate (Thanks to David Munday)
94    o pkg/dic:
95      - Remove subroutine CALC_PCO2_APPROX_CO3 from carbon_chem.F and add
96        carbonate computation/output to CALC_PCO2_APPROX
97    o pkg/generic_advdiff
98      - make TAF generate code that vectorizes:
99        gad_dst3fl_adv_*.F, gad_u3c4_impl_r.F
100    o model/src:
101      - improve vectorization also for adjoint code of
102        solve_tridiagonal and solve_pentadiagonal. As this requires up to
103        5 new 3D-fields, this code is only turned on for the combination of
104        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC and TARGET_NEC_SX. Also remove error message
105        for singular matrix check (only for TARGET_NEC_SX).
106      - remove hard-wiring of CPP-flag ALLOW_SOLVERS_KLOOPINSIDE to
107        ALLOW_AUTODIFF. This flag now needs to be set outside of
108        solve_tri/pentadiagonal.F
109    o pkg/exf:
110      - fix previous modif in exf_readparms.F (revision 1.66: treatment of
111        optional namelist EXF_NML_OBCS).
112      - add many debug-print (to trace down where pkg/cal error msg comes from)
113    o pkg/mom_vecinv/mom_vi_hdissip.F
114      - rearrange loops so that vectorization is improved and in particular
115        the adjoint routine vectorizes. The code is a little longer now, but I
116        think easier to read.
117        Note: CPP-flag MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 is not tested.
118    o pkg/seaice:
119      - allow to specify initial seaice velocity from files (uIceFile,vIceFile)
120    o pkg/exch2:
121      - alternative code (without tile x tile matrix) for cumulated (global) sum;
122        used as default; keep using matrix version in adjustment.cs-32x32x1.
123    o tools/build_options:
124      - after merging some MPI and/or multi-threads specific optfiles so that
125        the modified default optfile support both built (using genmake2 -mpi
126        for the MPI built, using genmake2 -omp for OpenMP built),
127        move now obsolete optfiles to tools/build_options/unsupported/
128       (add copy of email sent to support list in doc/optfiles_changes.txt)
129    
130    checkpoint63c (2011/09/28)
131    o pkg/ebm:
132      - fix ebm_zonalmean.F for several procs in Ydir (nPy > 1); update output of
133        test exp. global_ocean_ebm (affects machine truncation, 12 digits for cg2d)
134    o pkg/seaice (SItracer pickup)
135    * Simple code for pickup of SItracer fields (#define ALLOW_SITRACER)
136      To be done:
137      - thorough testing of missing fields in S/R seaice_read_pickup
138      - thorough matching between generic tracers and specific fields used
139        (e.g. volume-weighted age, area-weighted age, salinity, ...)
140    o pkg/grdchk:
141      - all procs calculate and print finite-difference gradient (for testreport)
142      - change description output used by testreport;
143      - AD testing: also compare and report Finite-difference gradient;
144        => update all output_adm*.txt
145    o test exp. global_ocean_ebm:
146      - switch back useRealFreshWaterFlux (no problem anymore with run-off);
147        and turn on exactConserve; update (fwd) output.
148    o pkg/seaice (LSR):
149      - print to STDOUT number of solver iterations at SEAICE_monFreq interval.
150      - modify solver to deal cleanly with u/v switch at face edges (CS-grid):
151        * identical results with non-CS topology (but save up to half of EXCH calls)
152        * no much changes in cs-32 verification tests since no ice at face edges
153         (differences due to convergence criteria, since nb of iterations changed)
154        * expect some differences on lat-lon-cap grid.
155        update FWD results of global_ocean.cs32x15 test exp. (icedyn & seaice)
156    o pkg/exch2:
157      - add new CPP option to disable Cumul-Sum matrix (to save storage when using
158        many tiles); until alternative coding is added, just add a stop.
159    o pkg/kpp:
160      - move ptracer/salt correction to KPP diffusivity from calc_3d_diffusivity.F
161        to S/R KPP_CALC_DIFF_PTR (+ add tracer-index to argument list).
162    o optfiles:
163      - merged few MPI specific (*+mpi*) and multi-threads specific (*+mth) optfiles
164        into corresponding standard one, which now support different build:
165        (when using "genmake2 -mpi" for MPI built, "genmake2 -omp" for OpenMP built)
166      - add "darwin_amd64_gfortran" optfile (initially from Constantinos, tested by Gael)
167    o pkg/obcs (seaice):
168      - add missing EXCH for uIce,vIce after applying OBCS;
169      - remove S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_X/Y , disable S/R EXF_SET_OBCS_X/Y by adding
170        argument = number of levels to S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_XZ/YZ and S/R
171        EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ ; update obcs_exf_load.F;
172      - fix EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ for multi-threaded (assuming loaded arrays are shared)
173      - verification exp. seaice_obcs: split domain in 2 tiles ; add SIZE.h_mpi
174        and eedata.mth for MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
175    o pkg/flt:
176      - make FLT EXCH working with multi-threads (and MPI + multi-threads);
177      - use buffer for floats IO (trajectories & profiles); size set in FLT_SIZE.h;
178      - fix pickup and trajectories + profiles output with multi-threads;
179      - add parameter to select group of fields to write along trajectory and
180        profile (default unchanged);
181      - only call PORT_RAND* function when flt_noise <> 0;
182      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. flt_example.
183    o eesupp/src:
184      - fix S/R ALL_PROC_DIE for MPI+multi-threads.
185      - USE_OMP_THREADING: check that number of threads (from eedata) matches
186        actual number (from env.var. setting).
187    o pkg/ebm:
188      - fix multi-threading in ebm_area_t.F ; clean-up EBM.h header file.
189      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. global_ocean_ebm
190    
191    checkpoint63b (2011/08/29)
192    o pkg/ebm:
193      - fix sign of runoff;
194      - update directly forcing fields (Qnet,EmPmR) to use standard
195        external_forcing_surf.F (remove ebm_forcing_surf.F);
196      - avoid loading forcing fields a 2nd time (1rst time from ini_forcing.F);
197      - set either tauThetaClimRelax (in data) or tauThetaZonRelax (in data.ebm)
198        and apply relaxation towards corresponding SST field (2-D map or ZonAver).
199      - update global_ocean_ebm parameters file data and update output (fwd+ad).
200    o verification/matrix_example:
201      - split domain in 8 tiles (2x4); add SIZE.h_mpi and eedata.mth for
202        MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
203    o pkg/matrix:
204      - change name of S/R MATRIX_INIT to S/R MATRIX_INIT_VARIA ;
205      - fix for multi-tiles (add bi,bj indices to exp/impMatrixCounter);
206      - fix for multi-threaded (remove DATA statement);
207      - use standard DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE function;
208      - add MATRIX_OPTIONS.h
209    o verification/matrix_example:
210       To allow to split the domain in several tiles, change the domain size
211        from 31x31 to 32x32 by adding 1 row (on Southern side) + 1 column (on
212        Western side) of land points.
213    o (*_)write_pickup:
214      - fix few bugs in mypackage_read/write_pickup.F
215      - in MDS_WR_METAFILES calls, replace "myTime" by a local copy into
216        array of length 1 (was caught by compiler syntax-check).
217    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential solver):
218      - fix initialisation of main diagonal matrix (for overlap values)
219    o tools/build_options:
220      - towards single optfile for MPI and non-MPI built: merge few +mpi optfile
221        into previously non MPI one (linux_am64 pgf77,open64,pathf90,ifort11)
222      - linux_amd64_gfortran: merge +mpi_generic version into standard optfile:
223        * move IEEE flags to DEVEL section; take IEEE flags from +mpi_generic ;
224        * FAST case: for now, keep -O3 with ini_masks_etc.F in NOOPTFILES list;
225        and use "-devel" testreport option for standard testing on baudelaire.
226    o pkg/grdchk:
227      - Assume that all gradient-check position are within the same tile
228        corresponding to global indices (iGloTile,jGloTile) and that
229        positions (i,j indices or nbeg) are local to this tile;
230      - set tile local-indices and proc. number according to tile global-indices;
231      - remove grdchkwhichproc from namelist (retired param);
232      - send adjoint gradient to all procs so that all procs print it to STDOUT;
233      - switch on MPI test for global_ocean.90x40x15 AD test experiment.
234    o adding package bbl (Bottom Boundary Layer)
235      description in MITgcm/pkg/bbl/bbl_description.tex
236      example/test experiment in MITgcm_contrib/bbl
237    o adjoint verifications
238      - changed 5 experiments to multi-tiles
239        * global_ocean.90x40x15
240        * obcs_ctrl
241        * offline_exf_seaice
242        * tutorial_dic_adjoffline
243        * tutorial_tracer_adjsens
244        changed reference output for those that crossed tile boundaries
245        (changed choices of gradient check positions)
246      - with same tiling, switch on MPI test for the last 4 (add SIZE.h_mpi)
247      - temporary bug fix in grdchk_loc.F for obcs
248    o genmake2 & testreport
249      - add target "obj" (just for OBJFILES files) to Makefile;
250      - add option to specify FEXTRAFLAGS on command line.
251    o pkg/mypackage:
252      - remove bi,bj arguments from argument list of S/R MYPACKAGE_CALC_RHS
253    
254    checkpoint63a (2011/08/02)
255    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
256      - fix velocity-potential calculation when using OBCS: balance net inflow
257        at each level (new S/R OBCS_DIAG_BALANCE).
258      - fix some of the problems with OBCS in stream-function calculation.
259    o pkg/exf/exf_readparms.F
260      - make treatment of optional namelists (EXF_NML_04, EXF_NML_SGRUNOFF,
261        EXF_NML_OBCS) more consistent, so that you need not have these lists
262        in data.exf when they are not used.
263    o optim/optim_readdata.F:
264      - add some output about obcs variables that might help debugging
265      - add a check about nvarlength
266    o pkg/ctrl: once again, fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
267    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
268      - fix mask for OBCS (still problems in stream-function with OBCS);
269      - add specific parameter (default = main code CG2D params) for solver;
270      - in case of poor convergence, use solution corresponding to lowest residual.
271    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: small changes that permit vectorizable
272      adjoint code. In general statements like tmpscal=fld(i,j) are problematic
273      and should be avoided where possible.
274    o model/src (rStar):
275      - include r* effect on reference-state (PhiRef) in totPhiHyd
276        (so that it's really the potential anomaly at the cell center);
277        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS.
278      - test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15: reduce viscA4 (was not stable) and
279        update output (because of z* in totPhiHyd and viscA4 changes);
280      - keep the previous diagnostics as "PHIHYDcR" (closer to potential anomaly
281        @ constant r) until interpolation at constant r is implemented.
282    o pkg/diagnostics
283      - fix RCENTER diagnostics in case cell center is not at interface middle
284    o add code for TEOS-10 (www.teos-10.org, McDougall et al. 2011). Use
285      this eos with eosType = 'TEOS10', in data (PARM01). This eos implies
286      that THETA and SALT are "conservative temperature" and "absolute
287      salinity"
288    o pkg/ctrl
289      - fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
290      - ctrl_pack/unpack_*: remove unused variables and some obsolete code
291    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
292      - fix recomputation with FENTY_AREA_EXPANSION_CONTRACTION code,
293        remove then obsolete STORE directives
294      - fix STORE directives for tice and tices, so that only the
295        appropriate part of the fields are stored (and not the entire
296        field); update global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice AD output.
297      - cosmetic changes: adjust CPP flags and indentation for better
298        legibilty
299    o pkg/autodiff: add mnc-output of adBottomDragFld (code contributed by
300      Chris Wilson)
301    o pkg/gmredi:
302       Add Sub-Meso Eddies parameterisation from Baylor (for now, disabled with TAF),
303       and test it in verification exp. "front_relax.bvp" (update output.bvp.txt)
304    
305    checkpoint63  (2011/07/11)
306    o pkg/exch2:
307     - rename+move: nTiles in W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h --> exch2_nTiles in W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h
308     - exch2 version of Cumul-Sum routine: S/R W2_SET_MAP_CUMSUM set up the
309       (2*nTiles)x(nTiles) Cumul-Sum matrix and Master Proc collects all tiles X,Y
310       increments, calculates Cumul-Sum @ tile origin and sends results to each tile.
311    o pkg/diagnostics:
312     - deal with pairs of post-processed diags which are computed together; in
313       particular, re-order list of diags within 1 file to save 2nd computation.
314     - add S/R to compute velocity stream-function (called after velocity-potential
315       calculation) from divergence free transport -> new diagnostics "PsiVEL".
316     - add parameter to select grid-point location where PsiVEL == 0.
317    o eesupp/src:
318       new S/R to calculate cumulated sum on tiled array, corner grid-cell location
319       (specific S/R needed with exch2 topology - for now, just print an error msg)
320    o pkg/shelfice
321     - Implement friction velocity-dependent transfer coefficients following
322       Holland and Jenkins, JPO, 1999
323       Original code by M. Losch with small modifs.
324       Enable with CPP option SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
325       and runtime flag SHELFICEuseGammaFrict
326    o verification lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15:
327     - use tools/xmakedepend (instead of cyrus_makedepend, in genmake_local):
328       does not miss some dependencies (but is slower) and also works with many files
329       (default makedepend limitation for AD built).
330     - use cyrus_makedepend in adjustment.128x64x1 (so that it still tested).
331    o pkg/diagnostics:
332     - add run-time parameter "useMissingValue" (def=False) to fill land-point
333        (i.e., where mask=0) with MissingValue ; used only in MNC output file.
334       This replaces CPP-option DIAGNOSTICS_MISSING_VALUE.
335     - Extend the use of "missing_value" setting from data.diagnostics for the case
336       of counter-diagnostics (where fraction-weight is zero). This applies both to
337       MNC and MDS output files.
338    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
339      - add 'a priori' cap of latent heat flux based on actual mass considerations
340        when SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET is used in conjunction with the
341        non-legacy seaice_solve4temp.
342      - add diagnostic of the residual sublimation freshwater flux (the freshwater
343        flux taken from the ocean if the total actual latent heat fluxes exceed
344        the maximum)
345      - remove the CPP switch around the *_FWbySublim unit change and move diagnostic
346       fill for SIatmQnt, SIfwSubl, SIatmFW to the end of seaice_growth.F.
347      - add diagnostic of the actual sublimation freshwater flux (that is 0. ifndef
348       SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET) and of the latent heat flux (evap+sublim).
349      - bug fix : frWtrAtm needs a_FWbySublim ifdef SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET.
350      - bug fix : missing part to Martin's r_FWbySublim pathological case fix.
351    o verification 1D_ocean_ice_column:
352       made model domain truly 1x1x23 instead of 5x5x23 with only center cell (3,3,:) wet
353       update results
354    o pkg/diagnostics:
355     - Implement setting of "Post-Processed" diagnostics (corresponding to gdiag(5)='P')
356       which are not filled-up but computed from other diags ; In this case, the mate
357       diag points to the primary (filled-up) diag to used for post processing.
358     - Update Velocity-potential computation using post-processed diag framework.
359     ==> Change the ordering of fields and time-periods in MDS output file
360       when using periodic averaging: now writes one time record with the full set
361       of fields for this time period, then the next time reccord (it used to be
362       one field with the full set of time records then the next field).
363         Note: this is now similar to NetCDF (MNC) output file. <==
364    
365    checkpoint62z (2011/06/21)
366    o adjoint monitor:
367     - Add adjoint monitor output for packages exf, seaice
368       and update relevant testreport output
369    o pkg/seaice:
370     - re-order diags inits so that they appear in order in available_diagnostics.log
371     - added diags: hsnow thermo. rates of change, area preceeding ridiging process,
372       area/heff/hsnow preceeding thermodynamic growth/melt.
373     - modified diag: SIdA; output actual effect, as the description states.
374     - modified description: SIqneti, SIqneto, SIuheff, SIvheff, SIdAb*, HSNOW.
375     - retired redundant diags: SIyneg, SIfice, SIsnwice, SIthdgrh.
376       (SIyneg->SIdHbOCN; SIfice->SIdHbATC; SIsnwice->SIdHbFLO;
377        and SIthdgrh->SIdHbOCN+SIdHbATC+SIdHbATO)
378     - modified diags (2) : switch all SIdA*, SIdH*, SIdS* from delta to rates.
379     - added diagnostics for seaice generic tracers (SItr*).
380     - added SItrUnit and SItrNameLong run time param (for SItr* diags).
381     - in diag names, replaced 'PrTh' abbrev. of 'preceeding thermo' with 'PT'.
382     I. Fenty: 18-Jun-2011:
383     Minor changes to seaice package:
384     1) Retired old variables (A22, SEAICE_lhsublim, areaMax, areaMin, hiceMin) and
385        added some new ones (SEAICE_area_reg, SEAICE_hice_reg, SEAICE_area_floor)
386       - Differentiated "regularization variables" from "floor variables"
387        * areaMin became SEAICE_area_reg (old A22) and SEAICE_area_floor
388        * hiceMin became SEAICE_hice_reg (old hiceMin)
389          (with _reg meaning regularization variable)
390       - SEAICE_lhSublim becomes lhSublim, the sum of SEAICE_lhEvap and SEAICE_lhFusion
391        so as to ensure energy conservation when going between phases
392      - A22 was not used anywhere
393     2) Changed regularization procedure for heffActual and hsnowActual to ensure
394        well-boundedness and smooth adjoint in seaice_growth.F
395     3) Fixed a bug where seaice_solve4temp would not recognize ice-free grid cells
396        because the old regularization always set heffActual >= 0.05 cm
397     4) Changed the model so that the default behavior is to put a small (10^-5) "floor"
398        on AREA when HEFF > 0.
399      - went from requiring ALLOW_PRECLUDE_INFINITESIMAL_AREA to be defined to
400        requiring that DISABLE_AREA_FLOOR *not* be defined
401     Affected verifications:
402      - 1D_ocean_ice_column (output.txt output_adm.txt)
403      - global_ocean.cs32x15 (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt)
404    o pkg/diagnostics:
405      - move MNC code from diagnostics_out.F into new diagnostics_mnc_out.F (2 S/R).
406      - rename S/R GETDIAG to DIAGNOSTICS_GET_DIAG and change type of 1rst argument
407        (was _RL, now integer) with option = 0 to retrieve all levels.
408      - add pieces of code to compute velocity potential at each level (new diagnostics
409        PhiVEL, works only when UVELMASS & VVELMASS are also turned on);
410        for now, using same params as CG2D (target-resisual, max Nb of iter ...).
411      - fix few issues with counter diagnostics in diagnostics_setdiag.F &
412        diagstats_setdiag.F (if diagnostic counter is itself a counter diag)
413        and in diagnostics_fract_fill.F (do not need a valid pointer for the
414        diagnostics counter-mate); check that definition of counter-diagnostic
415        includes a valid counter-mate (in diagnostics_set_levels.F).
416    o model/src (rStar):
417      - add rStar scaling factor in diags_phi_hyd.F (similar to calc_grad_phi_hyd.F);
418        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS;
419        update output of test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15.
420    o pkg/seaice:
421      - introduce siEps=1e-5 parameter
422      - use areaMax in AREA update (part 4), consistent with ridging step (part 2.5).
423      - re-organize SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET code.
424      - introduce ALLOW_SITRACER and seaice_tracer_phys.F to handle generic seaice tracer.
425        For now it covers, and was tested for, ice salinity and age (attached to HEFF),
426        as well as ice cover age and ridging index (attached to AREA).
427        For now the run time parameters (in data.seaice/SEAICE_PARM03) are
428        SItrName (e.g. 'age') and SItrMate ('HEFF', which is the default, or 'AREA').
429        Up to SItrMaxNum=3 tracers can be used simultaneously.
430    o pkg/salt_plume:
431      -introduce SPsalFRAC run time parameter that sets the fraction of the
432       salt by-product of ice growth (SPsalFRAC*(1-SIsalFRAC)*salt typically)
433       that gets vertically redistributed (fluxed down) by pkg/salt_plume.
434    o model debug options:
435      - Switch reading of debugMode from S/R INI_PARMS (parameter file "data", stored
436        in PARAMS.h) to S/R EESET_PARMS (parameter file "eedata", stored in EEPARAMS.h).
437      - Refine debug-msg printing selection (3 new levels):
438        debugMode  : controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
439        debugLevel : controls printing of algorithm-relevant auxiliary/debug messages
440         debLevZero =  0 ; /* level of disabled aux. msg printing */
441         debLevA =  1 ; /* level of minimum  aux. msg printing */
442         debLevB =  2 ; /* level of low aux. print (report read-file opening)*/
443         debLevC =  3 ; /* level of moderate debug prt (most pkgs debug msg) */
444         debLevD =  4 ; /* level of enhanced debug prt (add DEBUG_STATS prt) */
445         debLevE =  5 ; /* level of extensive debug printing */
446        New debugLevel default: with default debugMode value (=F),
447          = 2 (debLevB) or = 1 (debLevA) in case ALLOW_AUTODIFF is defined.;
448          and if debugMode=T, default debugLevel = 4 (debLevD).
449        Relation with previous settings:
450         debLevB (=2) corresponds to former debLevA (=1)
451         debLevD (=4) corresponds to former debLevB (=2)
452        Note:
453         a) if debugLevel=0, skip WRITE_GRID call when nIter0 > 0 (same as before);
454         b) default debugLevel=1 is convenient in AD runs (avoid many file opening msgs);
455            to recover previous default, set debugLevel=2 (e.g. AD-test hs94.1x64x5)
456      - Add new parameter (printResidualFreq, read from PARM02 namelist) to print
457        detailed CG solvers convergence; off (=0) by default, except if debugLevel=5.
458    o pkg/obcs:
459      - change OBCSfixTopo default from True to False (should not change the results);
460        keep OBCSfixTopo=T in verification-exp. seaice_obcs.
461    o pkg/thsice:
462      - fix bug in thsice_calc_thickn.F (was introduced in version 1.18) in
463        2nd layer seaice sublimation (unlikely to happen)
464      - use Interior mask for OBCS in thsice_advection.F (similar to what is
465        done in gad_advection & seaice_advection).
466    o adjoint:
467      bug fix spotted by Gael Forget:
468      seaice_advection and thsice_advection still had
469      legacy CPP options to avoid CS corner updates for adjoint
470    o pkg/seaice:
471      => Change some of the defaults (2011/05/29):
472         - change SEAICEuseFluxForm default (from False to True)
473         - change DIFF1 default (from 0.004 m/s to 0. m/s)
474         And print warnings if DIFF1 is not set in data.seaice and centered
475          avection scheme is used without any diffusion.
476      also:
477      - fix seaice_diffusion calls in default AdvScheme part of seaice_advdiff.F;
478      - set SEAICEdiffKh[] default in the same way as SEAICEadvSch[]
479      - stop if DIFF1<>0 with SEAICEadvScheme <> 2, if DIFF1<>0 with any
480        other non-zero SEAICEdiffKh[] diffusivity, if SEAICEadvSalt=T with
481        #undef SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY, if SEAICEadvAge=T with #undef SEAICE_AGE.
482      update results of test exp.:
483         lab_sea: output.fd (switch to AdvScheme=33 with diffKh=20)
484             output.hb87, output_adm.evp (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T and diffKh=200)
485             output_adm.noseaicedyn (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
486         offline_exf_seaice: output.seaicetd, output_adm (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
487         seaice_obcs: output (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
488      and prescribe old default for SEAICEuseFluxForm (=F) and DIFF1 (=0.004)
489          for standard fwd & AD lab_sea tests (to keep the same output).
490    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
491      - use Ian Fenty's capping formulas for actual ice
492      thickness thoughout EVOLUTION branch.
493      - put treatment pathological case #2) in CPP brackets
494      (ALLOW_AVOID_INFINITESIMAL_AREA, undef by default).
495      - update global_ocean.cs32x15 and 1D_ocean_ice_colum results accordingly.
496    o pkg/seaice:
497      - seaice_diffusion.F : remove the min(DX,DY) factor permanently;
498      pass the Laplacian diffusivity (in m^2/s) diffKh as a parameter;
499      also pass fac as a param, which can be 1. (to update the tendency
500      field) or the time step (to update the field itself).
501      - seaice_advdiff.F: for multidim, call seaice_diffusion with
502      e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=1; for single-dim, call
503      seaice_diffusion with e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=time step.
504      - SEAICE_PARAMS.h, seaice_readparms.F, seaice_check.F :
505      hooks to handle SEAICEdiffKhHeff, SEAICEdiffKhArea, etc.
506    o pkg/seaice:
507      diffusion with centered advection scheme (diffus.F & advect.F):
508      - simplify S/R DIFFUS (put deltaT & DIFF1 factor outside, move EXCH outside)
509        to just compute the laplacian of input-field.
510      - unroll k loop (harmonic,biharmonic diff) in advect.F to save 1 exch call.
511      - fix flux-form version in diffus.F to conserve tracer.
512      update output of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 (1rst set of modif affects
513       machine truncation) and lab_sea.salt_plume (conservative flux-form modif)
514    
515    checkpoint62y (2011/05/26)
516    o pkg/seaice:
517     - seaice_growth.F : in EVOLUTION branch, always include
518       a_QSWbyATM_cover in qnet (as it should be).
519     - verification/global_ocean.cs32x15 : update results accordingly
520       (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt).
521    o pkg/seaice + obcs:
522     - use maskInW & maskInS in multi-dim advection and biharmonic diffusion:
523       equivalent of assuming no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
524       update output of seaice_obcs (uses DIFF1 <>0 => biharmonic diffusion)
525     - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH calls (no longer needed
526       after changes above);
527     - obcs+seaice cleaning: apply seaice-tracer OB values to tracer field
528       only at OB location (instead of over a band of OLx width).
529    o pkg/seaice:
530     - fix wrong indices in old (non Flux-Form) diffusion default S/R diffus.F
531       (dxG(I+1, ...) changed to dxG(I, ...), no impact on Lat-Lon grid)
532    o pkg/obcs:
533      - split header file "OBCS.h" into 4 separated files:
534        OBCS_PARAMS.h, OBCS_GRID.h, OBCS_FIELDS.h & OBCS_SEAICE.h
535       Note: OBCS_PARAMS.h & OBCS_GRID.h can be included without OBCS_OPTIONS.h
536         (contain no conditional statement which depends on OBCS options).
537      - move "useOBCSYearlyFields" from "data.obcs" (hold in OBCS_PARAMS.h)
538        to parameter file "data.exf", namelist EXF_NML_OBCS (in EXF_PARAM.h).
539    o ctrl, cost, grdchk & autodiff pkgs:
540      - make options file more standard (like other {PKG}_OPTIONS.h file but
541        with AD_CONFIG.h); clean-up some of the included header files.
542    o pkg/obcs:
543      - do not mask tracer when applying OB (tracer == 0 could generate problems)
544      - apply tracer OB values to tracer field only at OB location (instead of
545        over a band of OLx width)
546      - clean-up obcs_apply_w.F & obcs_apply_eta.F (since less calls to these S/R)
547      - remove OBCS_MULTIDIM_OLD_VERSION code in gad_advection.F and remove
548        obcs_apply_tloc.F & obcs_apply_sloc.F
549    o obcs in model/src:
550      - call OBCS_APPLY_W only if NonHydrostatic.
551      - call OBCS_APPLY_ETA only if NonLinFreeSurf.
552      - reset dEtaHdt and wVel to zero outside OB interior region ;
553      - leave tracer unchanged outside OB interior region: This has no effect
554        on the solution but just to prevent unrealistic tracer value outside OB.
555      - zero out velocity outside OB interior region: This has no effect on
556        the solution but just to prevent unrealistic velocity outside OB.
557    o obcs and non-lin free-surf:
558       move call to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR from update_r_star.F to calc_r_star.F
559       and call to OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR from update_surf_dr.F to calc_surf_dr.F
560       + add argument "etaFld" to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR & OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR:
561       this fixes missing EXCH + get consistent eta OB value (+ fix restart).
562       update results of test-exp. exp4(nlfs).
563    o exp4 (nlfs) test-exp:
564       use OBC for Eta at Western & Eastern OB (to test prescribing Eta
565       with NonLin-FreeSurf); update output.nlfs.txt
566    o obcs and 2d/3d solver norm:
567       use interior masks (maskInC) to cancel out cg2d & cg3d matrix coeff at OB
568       and outside OB interior region (will allow to place OB further inside the
569       domain). Depending on the domain, can affects cg2d-Norm (previous
570       cancellation outside OB was only partial), e.g. in exp4 & obcs_ctrl,
571       and cg3d-Norm (previous Norm was computed before canceling OB terms),
572       e.g. in tutorial_plume_on_slope.
573      - update output of exp.: exp4 (x2), obcs_ctrl and tutorial_plume_on_slope.
574    o pkg rbcs:
575      - split RBCS.h into 3 files: RBCS_SIZE.h, RBCS_PARAMS.h & RBCS_FIELDS.h
576      - add capability to apply relaxation to horizontal velocity uVel & vVel.
577    o pkg/grdchk: add gradient check for control variable xx_shifwflx
578    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_init_fixed.F
579      fix CPP-flag combinations
580    o pkg/seaice: Merge iceage code of Pierre Rampal
581      * update/change/correct ice age calculations
582      * add age updates for pathological cases
583      Probably needs more testing...
584    
585    checkpoint62x (2011/05/13)
586    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
587       high-order vorticity scheme: use interior masks (maskInW & S)
588       to zero-out (outside OB) gradient of vorticity.
589    o verification exp.:
590       turn on "useEnergyConservingCoriolis" (better discretisation) in exp.
591       hs94.128x64x5 and seaice_obcs ; update results.
592    o pkg/obcs:
593      fix bug in OBeta for YZ sections in obcs_exf_load.F
594    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/shelfice, and optim:
595      - add new control variable xx_shifwflx (fresh water flux underneath ice
596        shelves). This is almost as tedious as obcs-ctrl, because the
597        variables needs its own mask.
598      - add a cost function term that penalizes the deviation of xx_shifwflx
599        from the first guess (zero) in analogy to other control variables
600    o pkg/shelfice:
601      - start basic adjoint
602    o pkg/ctrl:
603      - remove extra 2D field "for good measure" when initializing in
604        ctrl_set_globfld_[xy/xz/yz].F
605      - replace hard coded precision 32 (a bug) in ctrl_map_ini_gen by ctrlprec
606      - improve error messages in ctrl_set_unpack_*
607    o OBC implementation in momentum:
608       use interior masks (maskInC,W & S) in momentum S/R:
609       - multiply divergence, tension and some del^i.u or del^j.v by maskInC
610       - multiply del2u,del2v by maskInW/S (biharmonic viscosity)
611       - multiply horiz. grad of vorticity by maskInW/S (in Leith scheme)
612       - multiply gradient of wVel by maskInW/S in del2w calculation (NonHyd)
613       Motivation: fix/clean implementation of OBC with biharmonic-viscosity
614        (and also with Leith/Smagorinsky harmonic-viscosity).
615       Update output of experiment dome and exp4 (+nlfs).
616    o exp4 test-exp:
617      - turn on: nonHydrostatic, exactConserv, viscA4 (with momDissip_In_AB=F)
618        and prescribe time-varying OB (without pkg/exf) for zonal-velocity
619        at Western & Eastern Boundaries (+/- 1 per-cent); Also prescribe
620        time-varying OB at Western-side for wVel (NonHyd); update output.
621      - add secondary set-up (.nlfs) using NonLin FreeSurf (z*) + mom_vecinv
622        and biharmonic-viscosity ; also use prescribed time varying OB.
623    o pkg/obcs:
624      fix bug in OBWeta,OBWeta indices in obcs_apply_r_star.F
625    o model/src:
626      - fix startTime setting when baseTime<>0 & nIter0=0 are specified ;
627      - initialise startTime & nIter0 with unlikely values: allows to set one
628        from the other without ambiguity.
629    o seaice_obcs test-exp.:
630      add small diffK4T,S to test biharmonic diffusivity with OBCS ; update output.
631    o pkg/obcs:
632      - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH for T,S & pTracer:
633        no longer needed with maskInC,W,S in pkg/generic_advdiff.
634    o pkg/seaice:
635      - retired SEAICE_SALINITY and SEAICE_salinity in favor of
636        SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY and SIsalFRAC, respectively.
637      - fixed bug in the initialization of sea ice salinity variable HSALT
638        in seaice_init_varia.F  (removed dependence on ICE2WATR)
639    o fizhi-cs test exp.:
640       switch reference output convention for these 2 non-standard test-exp,
641        from: pgi  6.1-5 on faulks (FC.6, -of linux_ia32_pgf77+authors_fc5)
642          to: ifort 11.1 on baudelaire (FC.13, -of linux_amd64_ifort11)
643       reason: faulks might get retired soon and pkg/fizhi has still Pb with gfortran
644    o model/inc:
645      - change type of PmEpR array (from _RS to _RL) to fix restart (with "-use_r4")
646        of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15 (Suncronous time-stepping + Real-FW + NonLin-FS)
647    o pkg/seaice:
648      - fix calculation of saltFlux and saltPlumeFlux when using SEAICE_SALINITY
649    o verification/lab_sea, 1D_ocean_ice_column, seaice_obcs, global_ocean.cs32x15
650      - updated output*.txt files due to bug fixes in salt, saltPlumeFlux,
651        and initial HSALT
652    
653    checkpoint62w (2011/04/26)
654    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
655      - fix calculation of del2u & del2v (no-slip BC) when using Non-Lin Free-Surf.
656      - use parameter "sideDragFactor" in no-slip BC side-drag part.
657      - update output of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
658    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
659      mask del2u & del2v (no effect on results, but cleaner & closer to mom_fluxform)
660    o update seaice exp.:
661      use more consistent parameter values (remove "backward compatability only":
662       ICE2WATR, SEAICE_lhSublim, SEAICE_cpAir, SEAICE_rhoAir + set rhoConstFresh)
663      related to thermodynamics seaice. Update output (fwd+AD) of exp.:
664       1D_ocean_ice_column (x2), lab_sea (x8), ioffline_exf_seaice (x2) & seaice_obcs
665    o update test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15:
666      o use default CD_CODE_OPTIONS file (Adams-Bashforth on CD Mom & Coriolis).
667      o increase Overlap size from 2 to 3 (to allow to test bi-harmonic Visc.)
668      o new pickup-files from a 100.yr run with pkg/down_slope (input.dwnslp params)
669      o turn on zStar & viscA4 in standard set-up (dir input/)
670        and update output files: output.txt & output.dwnslp.txt
671    o new AD-test experiment: obcs_ctrl
672      (From Matt MITgcm_Contrib/SOSE/BoxAdj) to test OBCS as control vector.
673    o pkg/dic:
674      fix two bugs in handling water vapour pressure in carbonate chemistry
675      and air-sea fluxes. Found by Val Bennington and Galen McKinley
676      (add DIC Option = WATERVAP_BUG to recover old results)
677      update output of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (fwd+AD) & tutorial_dic_adjoffline
678    o adding allowInteriorFreezing option to check for water below freezing point
679      at depth and bring the negative heat anomaly to the surface level
680    o pkgs _fields_load:
681      - extend GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to deal with non-periodic case (from pkg/rbcs)
682      - use new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL in pkgs:
683        bulk_force, cheapaml, cfc, dic, obcs (+ ctrl/ctrl_get_gen_rec), offline and
684        rbcs to get interpolation weights and time reccord number.
685      - fix multi-threading in aim_fields_load.F
686      - apply EXCH to temp arrays [0,1] after reading in dic_fields_load.F
687    o external_fields_load:
688      new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to calculate which time-record (and linear
689       interpolation weights) to use in a periodic time-series ; do not divide by
690       time-step to convert to integer:
691       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is not multiple of time-step
692          (Thanks to Christopher L. Wolfe)
693       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is an odd multiple of time-step
694         (was wrong by half of time-step); update results of tutorial_global_oce_in_p.
695      store index of time-record which is currently loaded:
696       - works without any assumption on sequence of calls to EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD ;
697       - needed for the adjoint but not yet used because of extensive recomputations;
698         (to be fixed soon)
699    
700    checkpoint62v (2011/04/02)
701    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column added to test Ian Fenty's
702      pkg/seaice_growth.F modifications for improving sea ice code differentiability
703    o update output of exp4, internal_wave, seaice_obcs, tutorial_plume_on_slope
704      (new velocity statistics after changing maskInW & maskInS definition)
705    o pkg/generic_advdiff with OBCS:
706      use maksInW & maskInS in advective flux and in biharmonic diffusion calculation:
707      equivalent to assumption of no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
708      This will affect the results if using obcs+biharmonic diffusion.
709      update output_adm.txt of experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5 (not expected since no obc)
710    o pkg/obcs:
711      change definition of maskInW & maskInS: leave OB edges inside (maskIn=1)
712      (e.g., maskInW(OB_Ie)=1 ) so that velocity normal-component at OB is still
713      in Interior region. No impact on solution but affects Velocity monitor stats.
714    o pkg/ptracers (adjoint)
715      New option AUTODIFF_PTRACERS_SPLIT_FILES for writing separate
716      tape file for each tracer
717    o model/inc/src and pkg/autodiff: add parameters that allow to turn
718      of parts of the adjoint code at run time. For now, there are only
719      useKPPinAdMode, useGMrediInAdMode, and useSEAICEinAdMode. These
720      parameters are set in data.pkg.
721      This is the lazy coward's version of doing this, but still useful for
722      debugging. In order to do it right, everything needs to be moved to
723      pkg/autodiff.
724    o pkg/autodiff: fix global_sum_tile_ad.F by resetting adsumPhi at
725      the end; this fixes the adjoint balancing code for open boundaries.
726    o pkg/ctrl:
727      - change behavior of xx_${varname}period to be analogous to exf-conventions:
728        xx_${varname}period =   0.,  means time-independent control part
729        xx_${varname}period = -12., means one-year-periodic monthly control part
730      - introduce helper routine ctrl_init_rec (part of ctrl_init.F) to
731        clean up ctrl_init a little, remove unused variables
732      - ctrl_init: fixed the handling of the start/endrec for obcs-variables
733      - move "call cal_GetMonthsRec" from s/r ctrl_get_gen to s/r ctrl_get_gen_rec
734    
735    checkpoint62u (2011/03/15)
736    o model/src:
737      - for the adjoint, change NonLin-FreeSurf initialisation sequence: fill-in
738        h0Fac from INITIALISE_FIXED and reset hFac to h0Fac in INITIALISE_VARIA ;
739      - in initialise_varia.F (except for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL) remove 2nd call to
740        INI_DEPTHS, INI_MASKS_ETC & INI_LINEAR_PHISURF.
741    o pkg/ctrl/obcs/ecco:
742      - remove obsolete, unused, and partially broken code:
743        ctrl_obcsvol/ctrl_obcsbal/ctrl_volflux and code within
744        ALLOW_CTRL_OBCS_BALANCE
745      - put a stop statement into ecco/cost_obcsvol.F, but also add
746        cost_obcsvol to ecco_ad_diff.list
747    o pkg/ecco: fix counting cost function contributions for obcs (code
748      by Matt M.) and diffkr for diagnostics
749    o pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk:
750      add cost penalty terms for initial uvel, vvel, eta controls
751      and I/O for prior error files
752    o pkg/mdsio:
753       move mds_check4file.F from eesupp/src to mdsio_check4file.F ; add option
754       (new argument) to check for tiled file in mdsioLocalDir : this fix the
755       restart from pickup_som , pickup_dic (& dic_co2atm) with mdsioLocalDir.
756    o pkg/ctrl:
757     - ctrl_obcsbal.F, ctrl_obcsvol.F: replace last calls of ctrl_getrec by
758       ctrl_get_gen_rec, put a stop statement into ctrl_getrec. Remove
759       unused and superfluous variables
760     - ctrl_get_gen_rec.F: catch the case of xx_genperiod=0.
761    o pkg/ecco
762     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
763    o pkg/ctrl/ecco/grdchk:
764      - remove global declaration of tmpfldx/yz and tmpfldx/yz2.
765        Fortunately, we do not have any tests for the numerous cpp-flagged
766        option of "obcs as control parameters" so we will never know
767        if this is an improvement (but at least now things compile).
768      - remove an obsolete initialization from ecco_cost_init_barfiles.F
769      - fix some problems within never used ifdefs to make the code compile
770    o pkg/obcs:
771     - Refine Interior mask definition to work with more complex OB (e.g.
772       if OB_Ie < OB_Iw); In case default setting is not sufficient, allows to
773       read in Interior mask from file. Check if Interior mask is consistent
774       with OB list of indices.
775    o pkg/seaice
776     - beginning code for a seaice tracer package,
777       but currently only used for seaice age: SEAICE_AGE
778       SEAICE_num = 4
779       iTracer = 1: area-weighted ice age
780               = 2: volume-weighted ice age
781               = 3, 4: template for one-year vs. multi-year ice
782       data.seaice has new namelist SEAICE_PARM03 for arrays related to
783       SEAICE_num
784    
785    checkpoint62t (2011/03/05)
786    o pkg/obcs:
787     - obcs_apply_uv.F: change to a 2 steps method, first tangential component;
788       then normal component. This ensures that the normal component is set
789       correctly even when it conficts with tangential setting from an other OB.
790       Affects results of test-experiment seaice_obcs: update the output.txt
791    o pkg/obcs:
792     - add code to monitor statistics of dynamical fields at OB.
793     - take OBCS_BALANCE code out of obcs_calc.F into new S/R OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW :
794       - fix to OBCS_BALANCE code (right hFac ; deal with simple OB intersection).
795       - change default: balance the Net inflow through all OB (instead of balancing
796         each OB separately); keep the old method if setting OBC_balanceFacX < 0.
797     - switch on useOBCSbalance in dome experiment: only correct Western OB outflow
798       to match Nortern OB inflow (OBCS_balanceFacN=0).
799    o pkg/seaice:
800     - redefined actual sea ice age to be ICEAGE/HEFF ifdef SEAICE_AGE_VOL
801    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.113):
802     - reverting seaice_growth to v 1.111 in order to have code with exact bit
803       compatibility with MITgcm_contrib/ifenty/Fenty_seaice_thermo_code_merge
804       CPP option SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA removed in v 1.112 is reintroduced
805       runtime flag SEAICEareaFormula is kept but is inactive
806    o model/src:
807     - add new param to scale curvilinear grid distance and area when using
808       a different sphere radius from the grid-files.
809     - test/check multi-threads EXCH applied to local variable (cg2d_x)
810    o adjoint:
811     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
812     - add dummy_in_dynamics to enable extraction of ADJrhoinsitu
813       (a bit delicate because of potentially modified adj. common block structure;
814       current switch is ALLOW_AUTODIFF_MONITOR_DIAG, could be changed later)
815    
816    checkpoint62s (2011/02/15)
817    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.112):
818     - introduce SEAICEareaFormula run time parameter, which selects the recipe for
819       computing the ice cover tendency from effective thickness tendencies. Include
820       Ian Fenty's formula.
821     - remove 'undef SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA' which may now be achieved using
822       SEAICEareaFormula.
823     - simplify notations for the various d_HEFF/d_AREA terms.
824    o pkg/gmredi:
825     - add Boundary-Value-Problem bolus transport (Ferrari etal, OM 2010) code
826       from Christopher Wolfe (UCSD); add partial cell factor in vertical derivative;
827       add a verification test-run (front_relax.bvp) to test GM_useBVP.
828    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.111):
829     - for SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH, replace Gael's implementation with Ian's.
830     - the new SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_MELT allows open-water air-sea heat fluxes to
831       also melt ice.
832    o pkg/seaice:
833     - McPhee formula for Ice-Ocean fluxes (provided by Ian Fenty).
834     - can be used by #define MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
835    o pkg/cheapaml:
836     - from Nico Wienders: New version of this package.
837    o pkg/flt:
838     - add CPP options to prevent floats to re-enter the opposite side of
839       a periodic domain (default: keep periodicity)
840    o pkg/gmredi:
841     - apply exchange to GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY to get valid values near CS-corners
842       (needed for multi-dim advection).
843     - switch on GM Advective form in global_ocean.cs32x15 and update output.txt
844    o model/src:
845     - fix wrong re-setting of addMass array (ALLOW_ADDFLUID) for atmospheric run.
846    o tutorial_tracer_adjsens
847     - extend to NLFS and replace maskC by hFacC
848       (change reference output accordingly)
849    
850    checkpoint62r (2011/01/24)
851    o testreport:
852     - add option -deloutp (-do) to remove output file after successful run
853     - add option -mfile (-mf) for MPI machile-file and for each test-exp,
854       extract exact list of procs from this file ; adjust COMMAND by
855       replacing TR_MFILE & TR_NPROC with local machile-file & Nb of MPI procs.
856    o pkg/ecco: replace old ineffective way of penalizing deviations from
857      first guess (of obcs) with code by Matt Mazloff
858    o pkg/ctrl: add code that allows the use of ALLOW_OBCS?_CONTROL without
859      exf/cal
860      - ctrl_init: fix initialisation (computation of diffrec) for obcs-ctrl
861        and handle case of obcs?period == 0
862        Not affected by these changes: There is still an inconsistency in
863        the computation of start/endrec for the obcs variables for ALLOW_CAL
864        defined (see comment by Menemenlis, 7-Mar-2003)
865      - make S/R ctrl_get_gen_rec return something meaningful even if
866        ALLOW_CAL is not defined
867      - ctrl_getobcs?: simplify code so that it does not need to use
868                       S/R exf_swapfields
869    o testreport:
870       allow to test MPI with different number of processors for each experiment:
871       create file "SIZE.h.mpi" in each build dir.
872       Note: update of "-command" argument not yet implemented.
873    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ecco, pkg/seaice:
874      alleviate the need for additional 3D tapes when using
875      the non-inear free surface in the adjoint. This is done
876      by adding an 'update' of hfacc etc. to their current
877      value at the beginning of forward_step.F.
878    o pkg/seaice
879      seaice_lsr: move stress-divergence computations out of outer pseudo-
880      timestepping loop
881    o pkg/obcs/obcs_prescribe_read.F: move 'CALL OBCS_EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD'
882      up, so that the calls of the ctrl_* subroutines are really at the end
883      of the routine.
884    o pkg/gmredi:
885      allow to specify a 2-D horizontal map and a 1-D vertical profil
886      as scaling factor for Isopycnal diffusivity (Redi) and GM diffusivity.
887    o pkg/seaice:
888      move lsr iterations from seaice_dynsolver to seaice_lsr.
889    o pkg/seaice:
890      reduce memory footprint of seaice mutldim advection tapes,
891      by using a 2D tape independent of the generic_advdiff ones,
892      and setting GAD_AREA=1 etc. rather than GAD_AREA=101 etc.
893    
894    checkpoint62q (2010/12/29)
895    o model/src:
896      - check horizontal grid-spacing for unset or zero/negative values.
897      - change AD test hs94.1x64x5 to be truly a 2-D set-up.
898    o pkg/flt:
899      - use (recent) mdsio S/R MDS_READVEC_LOC instead of local FLT_MDSREADVECTOR
900      - precision of input and output files set according to readBinaryPrec
901        and writeBinaryPrec (previously always 64.b), pickup remains at 64 bits.
902      - initial float position from tiled file was not converted to index space
903        (looks like a bug): fixed to make it similar to initial pos. global file.
904    o global_ocean.cs32x15:
905       change SIZE.h of AD set-up to get same tiling as with MPI.
906       Update output_adm, output_adm.thsice (pass@14) & output_adm.seaice (fail@11)
907    o model/src:
908       add flag to control printing of domain fields (bathymetry, hFac ...) in
909       ini_mask_etc (call to plot_fieds_xy*).
910    o pkg/thsice:
911       if useEXF, some forcing fields are not valid in overlap: fixed by computing
912       over the interior only + apply EXCH at the end (like with SEAICE advection).
913    o pkg/mdsio:
914      - add 2 arguments to S/R MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL/S for overlap size of buffer
915        to copy to/from, so that it can be used to replace MDS_PASS_WH_R8toRL/RS.
916      - change barrier call for safe multi-threads access to 3-D shared buffer.
917      - MDS_READ/WRITEVEC_LOC use buffers from MDSIO_BUFF_3D.h (instead of local ones)
918      - replace call to MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL with call to MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL and
919        remove the 4 S/R MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL/S.
920    o pkg/flt:
921      - add fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration
922      - add basic exch2 support (only 1 facet supported so far!)
923    o pkg/mdsio+rw:
924      new S/R to read local (or tile independent) vector (read counterpart of
925       mds_writevec_loc, and front-end write_glvec_rl/rs).
926    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input_ad.seaice experiment
927        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
928        (using multidim advection for seaice)
929    o towards more F95 syntax for array specification in namelist:
930      - change "data.diagnostics" (data.ptracers was changed before checkpoint62p)
931        of all verification experiments.
932           e.g.:    line: fields(1,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
933          was changed to: fields(1:2,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
934      - finish adding "-DNML_EXTENDED_F77" to DEFINES list in pgf77 and g77 optfiles
935    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input.seaice experiment
936        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
937    
938    checkpoint62p (2010/12/17)
939    o pkg/thsice: rename (ad tape index) iicekey as ticekey, and move it
940        to THSICE_SIZE.h to avoid conflict with pkg/seaice.
941    o pkg/seaice: add seaice_diffusion.f seaice_map_thsice.f to adjoint.
942        allow for use of multim. advection in seaice adjoint.
943    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for snow precipitation and sublimation flux
944      - first attempt to close budgets by taking into account the freshwater
945        flux implied by the sublimation of snow and ice. So far only the
946        volume budget is closed, turn on with soon-to-be-retired-again CPP-Flag
947        SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET
948    o eesupp/src:
949      new S/R with new option (NML_EXTENDED_F77) to change array specification
950      from F95 standard to commonly accepted extended F77 form.
951      This would allow to use F95 syntax in namelist (needed with gfortran 4.4.5)
952      and to revert back to the original syntax (with -DNML_EXTENDED_F77)
953      for less tolerant f77 compiler (e.g., pgf77, g77).
954    o globalFiles:
955      commented out in parameter file "data" since it's not safe with MPI
956      (e.g., wrong on aces); keep it if useSingleCpuIO=T (but not doing much
957      in this case); no longer commented out in restart test (tst_2+2).
958    o add adTapeDir to specify a special directory where adjoint tapes are
959      written/read (adread_adwrite.F). adTapeDir is specified in data/PARM05
960      and cannot be used together with mdsioLocalDir.
961    o nesting pkgs:
962      - packages_init_variables : put call to OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES in last position
963      - update Gianmaria's Nesting pkgs (from Contrib/nesting_sannino)
964      - add parameter files + utils dir + output from short run on beagle.
965    o pkg/seaice:
966        fix seaice_growth.F store directives; update results of exp. lab_sea.ad
967    o pkg/seaice: explicitly store tsurfloc in seaice_solve4temp.F to avoid
968      unnecessary copying in adjoint code, requires new parameter NMAX_ITER
969    
970    checkpoint62o (2010/11/25)
971    o pkg/exf:
972      - change CPP option EXF_VERBOSE to run-time logical param exf_verbose.
973    o pkg/seaice:
974      - seaice_ocean_stress: split a loop for better vectorization of the
975        adjoint code
976      - seaice_growth.F: fix bug in conservation of freshwater connected to
977        capping of heff, put contribution into d_HEFFbyNEG
978      - replace irritating parameters SEAICE_latentWater/Ice and SEAICE_sensHeat
979        by something more sensible (parameters that are what their name implies)
980      - change some defaults, so that by default exf-parameters are used for
981        things like rhoAir, cpAir,latent/sensible heat parameters, in order
982        to reproduce the old results, many data.seaice now contain funny values
983        for cpAir and latent heat of sublimation
984    o packages_readparms.F: move exf_readparms up in line so that
985        exf-parameters are visible for other packages (e.g. seaice)
986    o debugMode & debugLevel=2:
987      - differentiate between debugMode & debugLevel=2:
988        debugMode: controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
989        debugLevel: controls printing of algorithm intermediate results and stats.
990      - remove "if debugLevel=2 => debugMode" but keep "debugMode =>  debugLevel=2";
991        => allows to print debug-stats without all sequence of call messages.
992      - switch control of debug print from debugLevel to debugMode in many S/R.
993    o pkg/obcs (obcs-sponge):
994        fix bug that was introduced on Oct 25 (in dynamics.F v1.151): put back the
995        call to OBCS_PRESCRIBE_EXCHANGES (need to exch gU,gV when using obcs-sponge)
996    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
997      - record overlap minimum size for each advection scheme;
998      - refine criteria on overlap minimum size;
999      - check and stop (in gad_check) if overlap size is too small.
1000    o pkg/obcs:
1001      - with ptracers: remove multiple calls to obcs_apply_ptracer (only done
1002        once, in ptracers_implicit.F)
1003      - with seaice: remove test on empty file name in obcs_apply_seaice (always
1004        apply OB values when tile has OB)
1005    o model/src, coriolis setting:
1006      - integer parameter "selectCoriMap" (=0,1,2) replaces 3 logical
1007        useConstantF, useBetaPlaneF, useSphereF ; can now read coriolis from
1008        files (selectCoriMap=3) with any grid.
1009      - add parameter "fPrime" for constant second Coriolis coeff (default=0).
1010    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1011        a few cosmetic changes that reduce the number of lines of code
1012    o pkg/obcs: add boundary conditions following Stevens (1990)
1013      - the code follows old MOM/NAOSIM code
1014      - so far it is only implemented for the eastern and western boundaries
1015        and NOT for pTracers
1016    o pkg/rbcs:
1017      - replace rbcsInIter by rbcsForcingOffset, the time in seconds at the
1018        beginning of the first rbcs forcing period.
1019      - add option rbcsSingleTimeFiles that makes rbcs read forcing data like the
1020        offline package, i.e., one file per time, labeled by iteration number;
1021        deltaTrbcs sets the timestep with which the data was generated;
1022        rbcsIter0 is the forcing iteration corresponding to rbcsForcingOffset.
1023      - rbcsForcingCycle=0 makes forcing non-cyclic.
1024      - make arithmetic safe for negative times and odd forcing periods.
1025    
1026    checkpoint62n (2010/11/09)
1027    o pkg/seaice:
1028        fix masking in free-drift S/R ; update results of exp. lab_sea.fd
1029    o pkg/obcs:
1030       New S/R to copy tracer value from the OB location to narrow band region
1031        (width = same as overlap) beyond the OB: preserve OB value (needed for
1032        high-order scheme) which were overwritten by EXCH call if in overlap
1033        region. Applied to theta, salt, ptracer and advected seaice variables.
1034       With seaice: use maskInC in similar way as in gad_advection.F,
1035        in seaice_advection.F and advect.F.
1036       Update output of experiment seaice_obcs and change exp4 to test OBCS with
1037        4th order Adv.Scheme. for pasive salt and ptracer.
1038    o tools/genmake2:
1039      - when looking for an optfile (not specified), only search for Fortran compiler
1040        (remove sym-link test + setting of CPP + makedepend check + C-compiler check)
1041      - in get_fortran_c_namemangling: use "$CC $CFLAG" to compile C test programm
1042        (instead of "$MAKE genmake_test.o" since an existing Makefile can be wrong)
1043      - set default for CPP to "cpp -traditional -P" (was the case without specifying
1044        an optfile, but otherwise default was just "cpp".
1045      - comment out PLATFORM=$p_PLATFORM (no idea where p_PLATFORM comes from)
1046      - when "CC" is not set in the optfile, look for possible C compiler
1047        (instead of just setting CC=cc)
1048      - put back version v.169 modif (from 2008/02/15), was dropped in v.173 changes:
1049        => add a ".F" to ".o" rule for source files with no "#include" (such as
1050           port_rand.F); otherwise, default ignores FOPTIM and just uses FFLAGS.
1051      - move gfortran before g77 in list of possible Fortran compiler (consistent
1052        with reference compiler switch from g77 to gfortran)
1053    o pkg/seaice:
1054      o remove SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION-code, add a test to
1055        seaice_check that stops the model, when the CPP flag is used.
1056      o seaice_growth.F: make capping of ice volume conserving by returning the
1057        capped ice as freshwater to EmPmR. This does not change the verification
1058        experiments but will change runs where the capping is acutally active
1059    o change reference platform+compiler from faulks+g77 to baudelaire+gfortran
1060      (except the 2 fizhi test exp.); update output of exp.: bottom_ctrl_5x5,
1061         global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn, thsice, AD thsice), global_ocean_ebm (AD),
1062         lab_sea (fd, hb87, salt_plume), MLAdjust (3/5) and vermix (dd)
1063    o tools/genmake2:
1064      - merge genmake_warnings & genmake_errors into 1 log file: "genmake.log")
1065      - change DUMPSTATE default to false (can use "-ds" option to switch it to T)
1066      - clean previous genmake log files before anything else.
1067      - change Makefile to remove testreport log files (*.tr_log) and genmake log
1068        files only with "CLEAN" target (instead of "Clean");
1069    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1070      Change OBCS in multiDim advection (gad_advection.F):
1071       Use maskInC to prevent intermediate update of tracer-field in OB regions,
1072       thus keeping current-time-step OB values; and remove the call to OBCS_APPLY
1073       which were applying future time-step OB values.
1074      This way, all explicit calculations use current-time-step OB values
1075       (simpler and more consistent).
1076      Affects results when set-up uses time-varying OBC and multi-dim advection;
1077       update output of experiment seaice_obcs.
1078    o pkg/seaice:
1079      move OPTIONS (formerly locally defined) to SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
1080       this includes SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY (+ SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH &
1081         SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA ) and SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
1082      Default (pkg/seaice/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h) is to define SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
1083       but leave SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY undef ; For now, keep verification exp
1084       unchanged (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY defined in */code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
1085    o pkg aim (2010/10/26):
1086      - Introduce ALLOW_INSOLATION, moving toward a more general incoming solar radiation
1087        formulation with obliquity, eccentricity, ... as run-time parameters,
1088      - Introduce diagnostics for top-of-the-atmaophere incoming solar radiation and
1089        upward shortwave radition at the surface (all-sky and clear-sky).
1090    o pkg/obcs:
1091      - writing sections with globalFiles=T does not work: switch to tiled-files
1092        when writing sections for OBCS (change pkg/rw/write_rec.F accordingly).
1093      - fix index bug (OB_Ie -> OB_Iw_) in obcs_apply_uvice.F
1094      - apply OBCS_SEAICE_COMPUTE_UVICE to both uice and vice at all obcs
1095    
1096    checkpoint62m (2010/10/21)
1097    o pkg/seaice: vectorize seaice_solve4temp.F
1098      - move iterations loops outside of i/j-loops
1099      - requires 2D arrays for TB and effConduct
1100      - add 2D iceOrNot to replace HICE_ACTUAL.GT.0, as HICE_ACTUAL is
1101        modified in this routine
1102      - a little bit of clean up, adjusting indentation, etc.
1103      - replaced a few TEN**a by exp(a*log(10.)) in new code for better
1104        performance and '**TWO' by '**2' (because TWO is a float),
1105        replaced ONE, ZERO
1106    o eesupp/src:
1107       fix flow dir for exch1_z_RX_cube, exch1_uv_RX_cube & exch1_bg_RX_cube
1108    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
1109      Revision 1.89 of seaice_growth.F completes the overall october 2010 revision and
1110      merging process. The merged routine has two branches, and one activates the 'evolution'
1111      branch by setting SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY to undef (at the top of the routine for now).
1112      In summary, here is what the '10/10 revision' did consist of
1113        part 1: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.71 to 1.75
1114          - Preliminary seaice_growth.F clean-up, keeping test results strictly unchanged.
1115            The emphasis here was on improving readability (e.g. by trying to use meaningful
1116            variable names) and modularity (e.g. by adding arrays to store heff etc. updates).
1117        part 1.5:
1118          - revising the lab_sea experiment to make it a more useful (i.e. stable
1119            and representative of an actual model run). This was done by generating a
1120            (winter) pickup to start from, switching back the main experiment dynamic
1121            solver from evp to lsr, having one of the experiments use the free drift solution.
1122        part 2: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.76 to 1.85
1123          - Sorting out hard-coded constants that prevented heat and fresh water conservation.
1124          - Sorting out the various fields units and sign (set early on and reset at the end)
1125            to avoid numerous scalings/re-scalings. By v1.85 the basic unit for ice, heat and
1126            fresh water stock is 'effective ice meters', and >0 implies more ice/snow.
1127          - Using tendency terms arrays (d_HEFF* etc.) to alleviate remaining code locks,
1128            and simplifying logical expressions to further improve readibility.
1129        part 3: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.86 to 1.89
1130          - Re-organize the blocks of code more logically.
1131          - Merging the '_if.F' pieces that add something new.
1132    o pkg/thsice:
1133      - vectorize thsice_solve4temp and thsice_get_exf.
1134        Problem: thsice_solve4temp has an unvectorizable statement that
1135        might also be problematic for TAF
1136      - thsice_get_exf: add the ALLOW_BULK_LARGEYEAGER04 CPP-flag. This
1137        does not change the verifcation experiment, but will change all
1138        experiments that have this flag undefined (not tested in verification);
1139        a little reorganization to save a few 2D fields and recomputations
1140      - 1st step of revisiting thsice adjoint (major recomp. sorted out)
1141      - 2nd step:  fix some store dirs
1142        o seems to work somewhat, i.e. using ifort but not g77
1143        o likely cause are incomplete init. or recomputation
1144        o start verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input_ad.thsice
1145    o pkg/obcs: add support for exch2
1146      - the position of the boundary and prescribed values are specified using
1147        a global domain with exch2 facets stacked
1148        - in x for N,S boundaries (like W2_mapIO=-1)
1149        - in y for E,W boundaries (so E,W boundaries do not overlap)
1150    o pkg/mdsio: add support for writing global sections with exch2
1151        file layout is as for obcs described above:
1152        - for x-z sections, facets are stacked in x (like W2_mapIO=-1)
1153        - for y-z sections, facets are stacked in y
1154    o pkg/thsice:
1155       - change a few routines for better vectorization: thsice_albedo.F,
1156         thsice_step_temp.F, and in thsice_calc_thickn.F. Results are
1157         not affected, but in particular the latter routine has changed
1158         dramatically (not necessarily easier to read now).
1159       - re-arrange calculation in THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP: move outside of i,j loops
1160       iteration loop and call to S/R THSICE_GET_BULKF & THSICE_GET_EXF.
1161    o verification/lab_sea:
1162      - overhaul of the forward model experiments. The main motivation
1163        for this revision is that lab_sea has proven quite fragile (when
1164        changing the sea-ice code, and switching platforms) to a point
1165        when failures were very hard to attribute to specific code problems.
1166      - the suspected reason for this fragility is noise amplification by evp so,
1167        to start with, we decided to replace evp with lsr in the main experiment.
1168      - the input.lsr experiment thus became obsolete and was removed.
1169      - it was replaced with the input.fd experiment that uses an
1170        analytical "free drift" solution as the ice velocity field.
1171      - Taken together, input (lsr), input.fd (free drift) and input.hb87 (evp)
1172        will hopefully allow us to discriminate problems due to dynamic solvers
1173        from problems due to the thermodynamic code. input.salt_plume (lsr) allows
1174        us to test additional options, along with the salt plume package.
1175      - Finally a pickup was generated (at the end of a one year run) to
1176        make the tests more representative of an actual model run. Previously
1177        the tests starting point was a 1m thickness of ice everywhere.
1178    o pkg/seaice:
1179      - introducing S\R seaice_freedrift.F that compute the
1180        analytical solution to an approximate ice momentum
1181        equation (i.e. the simple stress/coriolis balance).
1182      - define SEAICE_ALLOW_FREEDRIFT to trigger the computation
1183        of the free drift velocity field, and enable its use.
1184        To actually use the free drift solution as the model ice
1185        velocity field set SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT to .TRUE. in data.seaice.
1186    o move "useOASIS" from PARAMS.h to EEPARAMS.h and read it from "eedata"
1187    
1188    checkpoint62l (2010/10/04)
1189    o pkg/seaice:
1190      -fix the USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version (for variable freezing point);
1191      -use "celsius2K" in SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT and in new
1192       version (with USE_ORIGINAL_SBI undef);
1193    o add hooks for new packages OASIS, the package will follow
1194      (hooks exclude the seaice pkg for now)
1195    o pkg/autodiff: ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
1196      Option to use mdsio_read_whalos.F/mdsio_write_whalos.F,
1197      rather than mdsio_readvector.F/mdsio_writevector.F, within
1198      adread_adwrite.F to read/write adjoint-related tapes to disk.
1199    o eesupp and pkg/mdsio: ALLOW_WHIO
1200      Option to write/read 2D fields to files including tiles halos.
1201      The main purpose is for adjoint related "tape I/O".
1202      The secondary purpose is for debugging phases.
1203      A word on those rather specifically intended purposes.
1204      The code was meant to be stripped down to the bare minimum.
1205      Typically, there is a unique and basic mapping to the global
1206      buffer (tile by tile, then proc by proc, then level by level), and
1207      byteswaps and meta-files are omitted. Indeed the (*_WH*) code is not
1208      meant to generate user friendly outputs of various shapes and forms.
1209      Rather it is intended, for the knowledgeabale developers,
1210      to be largely independent of the many mdsio options, to allow
1211      outputs of tiles+halos in debugging phases and in adjoint runs,
1212      and to allow some flexibility in tuning (adoint) I/O depending on each
1213      file system behavior. With regard to tuning, most of the potential knobs
1214      (to leave files open, to allocate the I/O indep. of usesinglecpuio,
1215      to specify directories, to specify the typical size of I/O calls, etc.)
1216      are not yet included, and will be added if they prove useful.
1217    o pkg/seaice:
1218       fix uninitialised arrays in USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version of seaice_solve4temp.F
1219    o pkg/seaice:
1220       new S/R seaice_solve4temp.F: this is the merged version of Ian Fenty
1221       code (seaice_budget_ice_if.F) which enable to recover old standard
1222       code (seaice_budget_ice.F) when option USE_ORIGINAL_SBI is defined.
1223       temporary: add "#define USE_ORIGINAL_SBI" at the top of seaice_solve4temp.F.
1224    o model/src (rStar):
1225       use simple average (not area weighted) of rStarFac at U,V point when using
1226       vectorInvariant and selectKEscheme=1,3 (consistent with mom. vertical advection)
1227       update output of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 and fizhi-cs-aqualev20.
