4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/icefront: fix bug and reorder loop in icefront_init_varia.F
8    o model/src: move k-loop outside of i/j-loops when (re-)computing R_low
9      in ini/update_masks_etc.F in order to avoid -O3 optimization problems with
10      some compilers (gfortran 4.6.0 on MacOS)
11    o momentum:
12      - separate fVer?(:,:,kUp) & fVer?(:,:,kDown) in argument list of MOM_FLUXFORM
13        & MOM_VECINV subroutines (to help TAF). This fixes Pb of uninitialised
14        fVer?(kUp) in admom_fluxform with non-lin free-surf or bottom control.
15    
16    checkpoint63k (2012/03/17)
17    o model/src:
18       - selectAddFluid (ALLOW_ADDFLUID): add missing term in horizontal momentum
19         flux-form (mom_fluxform.F) and vertical momentum (calc_gw.F) equations.
20       - SOLVE_DIAGONAL: switch default to use adjoinable & vectorized version
21         (#undef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY); update output of exp. front_relax.bvp.
22    o model/src: solve_*diagonal.F
23       - replace division with multiplication by inverse (similar to original version)
24         update output of AD exp. global_ocean.90x40x15.
25       - fix pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_psi_bvp.F & pkg/ggl90/ggl90_calc.F
26         to enable the use of the vectorized & differentiable solve_tridiagonal.F
27       - test exp. global_ocean.90x40x15/input_ad: switch to advection scheme 20 for
28         vertical advection (to get solve_tridiagonal tested in AD mode).
29    o pkg/seaice: ECCO-CLIVAR merge:
30      1. seaice AREA relaxation
31         * CPP option: SEAICE_ALLOW_AREA_RELAXATION
32         * runtime flag: SEAICE_tauAreaObsRelax
33      2. modified global mean cost imbalance code: CPP option
34          ALLOW_SSH_GLOBMEAN_COST_CONTRIBUTION
35    o another iteration on solve_*diagonal.F
36       Make choices independent of AUTODIFF
37       Default will be the adjoinable vectorized version.
38       Alternative choices are:
39       * non-adjoinable original version with low memory footprint:
40         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY
41       * still adjoinable but does not vectorize (k as inner-most loop):
42         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER (keeping SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY undef)
43    o testreport
44     - add option to use a home made wrapper around "make"
45     - remove MITGCM_IEEE env. variable (no longer active)
46    o pkg/shelfice
47     - improve computation of friction velocity for velocity dependent
48       exchange coefficients: include velocities into SHELFICEBoundaryLayer
49       block to average velocities vertically
50     - add TAF store directives for SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
51    o Modify diagonal solvers, now three versions (upon request):
52      #ifndef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF
53        1. default version (dating back a while ago)
54      #else /* def SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
55      # ifdef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER
56        2. adjoinable version with k-innermost loop (G. Forget)
57      # else
58        3. adjoinable vectorized version of 2.
59      # endif
60      #endif /* SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
61      All flags are currently set within routines, but could/should be moved to CPP-options.
62      Array bounds for 1. are as before, for 2.,3. cover the entire domain
63      (could be changed for 1. too).
64    o verification/lab_sea (fwd):
65      - update the 4 fwd lab_sea test experiment: no longer SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
66        use 7 categories (except hb87), new solve4temp params (except salt_plume),
67        constant salinity (=4) or variable salinity (salt_plume) done through
68        SItracer.
69    o pkg/seaice:
70      - rename parameters: SIsalFrac to SEAICE_saltFrac & SIsal0 to SEAICE_salt0;
71      - remove old parameters ( SEAICE_freeze, SEAICEturbFluxFormula, SEAICE_gamma_t,
72         SEAICE_gamma_t_frz, SEAICE_availHeatTaper & SEAICE_availHeatFracFrz)
73        from SEAICE_PARMS.h ; still need to fix seaice_cost_sst.F (broken when
74        SEAICE_freeze got retired) but already better than previously with
75        SEAICE_freeze=123456.7 deg.C;
76      - move setting of facOpenGrow/Melt from SEAICE_INIT_FIXED to SEAICE_READPARMS
77        (safer multi-threaded setting); always set SEAICEuseEVP;
78      - setting of ocean-ice turb. flux coeff: moved from SEAICE_CHECK to
79        SEAICE_READPARMS & SEAICE_INIT_FIXED (this fixes wrong summary report);
80        stop if multiple specifications for the same coeff; make sure default
81        SEAICE_mcPheePiston is compatible with drF(1) & deltaT.
82    o pkg/obcs:
83      - allow to switch to upwind 1rst order advection scheme for the advective
84        flux computation at the open-boundary; disabled for adjoint built.
85    o pkg/ptracers:
86      - rename PTRACERS_RESTART.h -> PTRACERS_START.h
87      - rename ptracers_fields_blocking_exchanges.F -> ptracers_fields_blocking_exch.F
88      - add parameter to decide when to start a tracer; use internal flag to
89        know which tracer to step-forward; switch this internal flag at the top
90        of forward_step.F (new S/R PTRACERS_SWITCH_ONOFF); for now, not enabled
91        for adjoint built.
92    o pkg/seaice:
93      - add SEAICE_SIZE.h anywhere in the code where SEAICE.h is included ;
94      - move MULTDIM declaration and setting from SEAICE.h to SEAICE_SIZE.h ;
95      - keep experiment offline_exf_seaice truly single category (set MULTDIM=1).
96    o pkg/ecco:
97      - fix writing of output file DiagnosCost_ClimSalt/Theta
98        and DiagnosCost_DriftSalt/Theta (if multi-tiles per proc).
99    o pkg/seaice:
100      - add missing initialisation of COR_ICE array in dynsolver.F
101      - merging SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY define and undef cases. Now the same code is
102        compiled either way, and is tested in all exps (multidim was only tested
103        in lab_sea ad before).
104      - cosmetic change to prepare for future addition of ITD. no change to results.
105        no defaults change.
106      - added run time param SEAICE_multDim (7 for SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY, 1 otherwise).
107      - by lack of adequate verification experiments, I further used custom versions
108        of global_ocean.cs32x15 to test multicat or not, with pickup or not. All
109        should be correct.
110      - avoid recomputations in ad.
111    o array initialisation in adjoint mode:
112      1) pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_ke.F:
113        add full array initialisation of KE inside mom_calc_ke.F (ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC):
114        The S/R which calls MOM_CALC_KE initialises KE but in some recomputation
115        part this initialisation is gone, resulting in Floating Point Exception
116        (caught by open64 compiler with debug option).
117      2) model/src/convective_weights.F
118        set output convectCount over the full array range (instead of doing
119        an update): this fix a similar issue when called within recomputation (adjoint)
120        which could by-pass the initialisation (normally done in the caller S/R).
121    o pkg/seaice:
122      - final version of turbulent flux params, as agreed at MIT ice meet:
123           SEAICE_mcPheePiston (default is ~ 0.000875)
124           SEAICE_mcPheeTaper (default is 0.)
125           SEAICE_frazilFrac (defualt is 1.)
126           SEAICE_mcPheeStepFunc (default is false)
127      - changes results at trunction error level
128      - ifdef SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES, disallow SEAICE_waterAlbedo
129    o added pkg/frazil:
130      - see frazil_description.tex for details
131      - verification experiment is global_with_exf/input.yearly; changes output.yearly.txt
132    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F
133      - fix exponents for velocity dependent exchange coefficients: change
134        from 2/3(=0) to 0.66666666666666667
135      - move computation of velocity dependent exchange coefficients into
136        separate loop, so that it applies to both thermodynamics
137      - move some divisions by constants out of loops
138    
139    checkpoint63j (2012/02/16)
140    o pkg/seaice:
141      - overhaul of seaice_summary.F after feb 2012 clean-up of seaice_growth.F etc.
142      - SItracer:  added run time params, and allow coupling to ocn salinity.
143    o pkg/seaice: remove (almost) all divisions by constants within loops
144      in seaice_growth.F and seaice_solve4temp.F, this changes (only) the cg2d
145      results of global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice from 16 to 11 digits (but only
146      those, caused by 1/QI -> recip_QI) -> update output.seaice.txt,
147      output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt and also lab_sea: output_adm.evp.txt
148    o pkg/seaice :
149      - simplify McPhee tapering, and allow to use it with SEAICEturbFluxFormula
150        = 1 or 2, using newly added run time parameter SEAICE_availHeatTaper.
151      - fix d_AREAbyATM, d_AREAbyOCN, d_AREAbyICE diags I broke in r1.148.
152      - add permanent SItflux diag that corresponds to TFLUX but includes
153        ice+snow. Hence SItflux-TFLUX should match the ice+snow heat budget.
154      - allow activation/testing of a fix for suspected missing term in
155        ocn-ice heat budget (to be confirmed). To test this, you want to
156        undef SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX, and then set the run time param
157        SEAICEheatConsFix to .TRUE. that also allows the 'SIaaflux' diagnostic.
158      - no change in results, fwd or ad.
159    o global_ocean.cs32x15/results: 3 changes following from the pkg/seaice commit below:
160      - switch to variable freezing point.
161           Results change : cg2d -> 1 digits; ad -> 3-6-6 digits.
162      - bug fix : the sublimation term that was missing is now activated.
163           Results change : cg2d -> 2 digits; ad -> 8-6-6 digits.
164      - bug fix : flooding sign term for SIsal0.NE.0.
165           Result change : cg2d -> 8 digits; ad -> 11-12-9 digits.
166    o pkg/seaice:
167      - unified freezing point treatment : the old SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT
168        is now the default, and the old default constant freezing point is recovered
169        with SEAICE_tempFrz0    = -1.96,
170             SEAICE_dTempFrz_dS = 0.,
171      - retire SEAICE_freeze (= the old way of specifycing the constant freezing point)
172      - remove ALLOW_SEAICE_FLOODING brackets; run time switch is already there.
173      - bug fix (thanks to M. Losch) : the sublimation term that was missing is now
174        activated. To reproduce old results with this bug define SEAICE_DISABLE_SUBLIM.
175      - bug fix (silly me) : flooding sign term (seaice_growth.F r 1.149line 1211)
176        was wrong for SIsal0.NE.0. Changes cs32x15 results (see above item for detail).
177      - bug fix (thanks to O. Jahn) : area loss for melting  got messed up in
178        seaice_growth r149 for legacy branch (no results change).
179      - introduce SEAICE_CAP_SUBLIM : caps sublimation heat flux in solve4temp (code
180        from I. Fenty).
181      - results did not change except for global_ocean.cs32x15, mostly due to the
182        switch to variable freezing point (see above item for detail).
183    o pkg/thsice:
184      - fix and simplify interface to salt_plume pkg ; diagnose directly amount of
185        seawater freezing in thsice_calc_thickn (not used).
186    o pkg/seaice: turbulent flux term specification via run time params.
187      - replace CPP switches with run time switches to facilitate testing
188      - retired CPPs : MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX,
189                       GRADIENT_MIXED_LAYER_TURBULENCE_FACTOR
190      - added runtime parameter : SEAICEturbFluxFormula
191      - move Mcphee constants to SEAICE_PARAMS.h
192      - seaice_readparms.F : read turbulent flux term params (SEAICEturbFluxFormula;
193                 SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, or SEAICE_gamma_t/_frz if apply);
194                 remove seaice_summary call (moved to seaice_init_fixed)
195      - seaice_init_fixed.F : set SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz depending on
196        SEAICEturbFluxFormula, and seaice_summary call (moved from seaice_readparms)
197      - seaice_summary.F : add missing report of read turbulent flux term set up
198                           and SITRACER.
199      - seaice_check.F : check range; inform and stop if retired CPPs are used
200                         (incl. SEAICE_AGE).
201      - seaice_growth.F : unified use of SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, without
202             CPP switch, same computation as before for the different options.
203      - change results at the truncation level.
204    o pkg/seaice:
205      - remove un-used parameters LAD & MAX_TICE ; add new run-time parameters:
206        useMaykutSatVapPoly (default=F), postSolvTempIter (default=2) and
207        SEAICE_wetAlbTemp (default=-1e-3). Remove option SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
208      - update verification/*/input*/data.seaice:
209        to reproduce previous results with former #defined SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
210        code, set useMaykutSatVapPoly=T & postSolvTempIter=0 ;
211        and to reproduce previous results with former non-SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY code,
212        set SEAICE_wetAlbTemp=0 & SEAICE_snowThick=0.
213    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY):
214      - remove LEGACY code for solving for tsurf (A1,A2,A3) but maintain the same
215        algorithm (same choice: useMaykutPolySatVap=T, postSolvTempIter=0);
216        difference in results only due to machine truncation.
217      - remove MAX_TICE (tsurf is always =< TMELT anyway); keep MIN_TICE if using
218        MaykutPolySatVap; keep MIN_LWDOWN.
219      - adapt SEAICE_MODIFY_GROWTH_ADJ code (untested) to non-legacy formulation.
220      - update output of verification exp. lab_sea (4 fwd: 11 cg2d digits except hb87,
221        + 3 AD: 6 digits except evp) and offline_exf_seaice.seaice (12 digits).
222    o pkg/salt_plume:
223      - isolate saltPlumeFlux array exch into a specific S/R called from
224        do_oceanic_phys.F
225      - add interface to pkg/salt_plume (filling of saltPlumeFlux) in pkg/thsice.
226    o verification:
227      - move untested set-up to MITgcm_contrib/verification_other.
228    o pkg/seaice:
229      - retire old way of SEAICE_AGE. Now replaced with ALLOW_SITRACER.
230    o pkg/seaice:
231      - seaice_solve4temp.F (keeping results unchanged):
232        * add 2 future run-time params to select which saturation vapor pressure
233          formula is used and how post-iteration fluxes are set.
234          Temporary set these 2 params according to option SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY;
235        * New piece of code (not used) to update surf. atmos. heat flux F_ia using
236          the linearized expression to stay consistent with tsurf finding.
237      - seaice_freedrift.F avoid floating exception in sqrt(y) since y=sqrt(x*x)-x
238        can be < 0.
239    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY undef):
240      - remove from F_ia (and from it's derivative dFiDTs1) the contribution of
241        conductive heat flux F_c , and add it explicitly when updating tsurf as
242        solution of: Fc = Fia + d/dT(Fia - Fc) *delta.tsurf
243        so that now F_ia has a consistent meaning through the entire routine.
244        This causes differences at truncation level: update output of fwd exp.
245        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice.
246    o pkg/seaice:
247      - lots of editing/cleaning in seaice_solve4temp.F + better documentation
248        of arrays, sign/direction of fluxes; no effect on results.
249      - replace hard coded 273.16 (=previous value of celsius2K) by celsius2K
250        in seaice_budget_ocean.F & seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY part);
251        note: this should have been done before changing celsius2K default.
252      - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
253        exp. input*/data : lab_sea (AD), offline_exf_seaice (fwd+AD) & seaice_obcs
254      - replace hard coded seawater freezing temp in seaice_solve4temp.F (part
255        SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY) of 271.20 (=previous value of celsius2K + default
256        value of SEAICE_freeze) by celsius2K+SEAICE_freeze so that seawater
257        freezing temp is consistent with value in seaice_growth.F ; this causes
258        differences at machine truncation level: update lab_sea AD output (3/4).
259    o pkg/seaice:
260      - mask (in exf_init_fixed.F) atemp,aqh,evap,precip,runoff,lwflx,areamask
261        and climsst/sss even when using seaice (to prevent calculation that might
262        use SST on land); does not affect any verification exp.
263      - apply mask to taux,tauy (in seaice_get_dynforcing.F); update output
264        of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 and global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix.
265    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: add mask to avoid non-zero ice thickness
266      over land (non-legacy code)
267    o vectorize salt_plume package:
268      - add extra code to salt_plume_frac and salt_plume_tendency_apply_s
269      - this code computes plumebk everywhere (also over land), thus requires
270        code to avoid divisions by zero and catch the case of kLev=Nr.
271      - efficiency of salt_plume_frac is still sub-optimal
272    o tools (genmake2):
273      - fix makefile NAME specification (option: -makefile NAME) by adding
274        "-f $MAKEFILE" in few places where it was missing including makedepend
275        command (contribution from Paul).
276    
277    checkpoint63i (2012/01/24)
278    o model/src:
279      - add factorized versions of some EOS code to find_rho.F,
280        define USE_FACTORIZED_EOS to turn it on (default for TARGET_NEC_SX)
281    o model/src:
282      - add celsius2K to namelist PARM01; remove unused recip_rhoNil from PARAMS.h;
283      - change default celsius2K from 273.16 to 273.15
284      - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
285        exp. input*/data : aim.5l_cs, 1D_ocean_ice_column, lab_sea (fwd),
286         global_ocean.cs32x15(seaice) & cpl_aim+ocn(input_atm).
287    o model/src: add a little initialisation trick to find_rho.F and find_alpha.F
288      to make TAF generate vectorizable code
289    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: add code (copied from CICE) that avoids underflows.
290       Turn on by defining SEAICE_EVP_ELIMINATE_UNDERFLOWS. Most compilers
291       have flags that do this more efficiently.
292    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F
293      - for TARGET_NEC_SX fix the treatment of the scaling factor tmpFac=scaleFact
294    o pkg/obcs (with exch2):
295      - derive OB indices in overlap region from OB-InsideMask (in obcs_init_fixed.F)
296        and remove code (in obcs_readparms.F) which was based on EXCH of indices
297        (through buffer) and did not account for exch2 (e.g., CS-grid) topology.
298    o pkg/exf and seaice exp:
299      - change offline_exf_seaice.seaicetd test exp. to use default DIFF1 value (=0)
300        so that switching off area & heff advection flags does not affect results.
301      - change default EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY to #define in EXF_OPTIONS.h
302      - keep exp. seaice_obcs & 1D_ocean_ice_column(ad) unchanged (using #undef
303        EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY) and, using pkg/exf default emissivities, update
304        results of verification experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column(fwd),
305        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice(fwd+ad) & seaice_dynmix(ad), lab_sea (all 8)
306        and offline_exf_seaice (all 4).
307    o pkg/seaice:
308      - remove array YNEG, RIVER, TMIX (replaced by local var) from common block;
309        remove also areaNm1 & hEffNm1 when SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY is undef.
310      - fix bug: areaNm1 & hEffNm1 are needed in seaice_growth (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY)
311        but were not filled when resp. SEAICEadvArea=F & SEAICEadvHeff=F and
312        not multi-dim advection;
313      - fix seaice_growth.F to compile with both SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and
314        SHORTWAVE_HEATING #undef.
315    o optim: make Makefile more robust (?)
316    o pkg/obcs:
317      * fix treatment of obcs_read_pickup for TAF
318    o pkg/shelfice:
319      * add missing initialisation of num_shifwflx
320      * new adjoint verification exp. for isomip
321      * change Prandtl and Schmidt numbers from generic formulations
322        (in terms of model diffus. and visc.) to separate runtime
323        parameters, with Holland and Jenkins (1999) default values.
324    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
325      - extended input field (2 rows) near the N & S poles:
326        * fill in with the symetric value (when even Nb of data in longitude)
327        * add average value at the poles only for scalar quantities ; for vector
328          component interpolation, skip the averaging and keep duplicated values,
329          unless the 2 components have same location (uvInterp=T) in which case
330          interpolate the 2 components together using S/R EXF_INTERP_UV.
331      - new S/R EXF_INTERP_UV to interpolate the 2 components of a vector field
332        together: this allows to account properly for local orientation when
333        averaging at N & S pole.
334      - add CPP option EXF_USE_OLD_INTERP_POLE to recover old results regarding
335        exf-interpolation near N & S poles. Undef by default.
336      - add debug check/print on 1rst iter if debugLevel >=2.
337    o pkg/exf:
338      - change masking flags definition (no longer "parameter"), put them in
339        common block and set them in S/R EXF_INIT_FIXED.
340      - change recognized masking flag from s,u,v to c,w,s since the mask
341        to use (maskC,W,S) depends on position on model grid and has little to
342        do with scalar/vector difference; fix masking if using P-coordinates.
343      - fix masking of wind-stress (was wrong if interpolated or read on A-grid)
344        and update results of exp. global_with_exf (x2).
345      - fix setting of zenith-angle table when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is undef.
346    o pkg/obcs
347      - S/R obcs_calc_stevens: fix a small bug (gammat -> gammas where appropriate)
348    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
349      - assume periodicity in X only if input field cover full longitude range.
350      - improve search for lat. index (supposed to be faster, in ~log2(ny) steps,
351        and should vectorise).
352      - fix input lat of the 2 added row (in case we provide N.pole data).
353    
354    checkpoint63h (2011/12/30)
355    o pkg/seaice:
356      - change declaration of UVM from _RL to _RS in order to get B-grid
357        uIce,vIce monitor when _RS = real*4
358    o pkg/offline:
359      - new S/R OFFLINE_RESET_PARMS for resetting main-model params (switch off flags);
360      - compute vertical velocity if not read from file (switch on exactConserv
361        & staggerTimeStep);
362      - fix output of ptracer monitor iter & time for default PTRACERS_monitorFreq.
363    o verification:
364      - update grid-files (in tutorial_held_suarez_cs/input and fizhi-cs-32x32x40/input)
365        with grid-angle generated using "utils/matlab/cs_grid/cubeCalcAngle.m":
366        fix Pb in yG definition @ 2 missing corners (previously yG was averaged);
367      - update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4 after changing
368        grid-file angles (used here for coriolis-3d);
369      - remove (or gzip) few files not needed to run fizhi-cs experiments.
370    o pkg/exf (vector interpolation):
371      - rotate vector component toward local grid-axis orientation using grid-angles
372        (stored in GRID.h) instead of locally computed rotation angle; keep old code
373        available with exf option EXF_USE_OLD_VEC_ROTATION (undef by default).
374    o pkg/seaice:
375      - allow to compile with exf options ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_DOWNWARD_RADIATION
376        undefined. Fix and remove the stop when ALLOW_RUNOFF is undefined.
377    o pkg/PKG_OPTIONS.h files:
378      - move #include "CPP_OPTIONS.h" just after #include "PACKAGES_CONFIG.h",
379        outside of the #ifdef ALLOW_THISPKG / #endif block.
380      - update verification/*/code/PKG_OPTIONS.h files.
381    o add a verification experiment (offline_exf_seaice/input.seaice) that test
382      the B-grid LSOR solver
383    o pkg/seaice: sort out emissivity and long wave radiation step 2:
384      - add emissivity for snow and ice as new run-time parameters
385        (unfortunately) that default to the corresponding exf values; this
386        changes results in most verification experiments so that for backward
387        compatibility these parameter have to be set explicitly to inconsistent
388        values (ugly);
389      - the exf-flag EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY then gets rid off the hard-wired
390        emissivities of 0.97 associated with lwdownloc in S/R seaice_solve4temp
391        until we agree how to handle this bug properly
392    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
393      - add a set of run-time param ({inputfield}_interpMethod), one for
394        each interpolated input field, to select the interpolation method
395        with a value of zero switching off the interpolation;
396      - print interpolation parameters to standard output;
397      - refine exf_check.F accordingly ; stop if USE_NO_INTERP_RUNOFF is defined
398        (to use instead runoff_interpMethod=0 in data.exf).
399      - simplify default setting of interpolation parameters (for all fields,
400        set position to match model grid cell-center position, leading to trivial
401        interpolation in case of regular Lat-Lon grid) and fix for the case of
402        non-uniform delY.
403    o pkg/exf/exf_radiation.F: add the factor ocean_emissivity to lwdown, for
404       within #ifdef EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY/#endif. Unless ocean_emissivity=1.
405       this factor is absolutely required, because the lw exitance (= out-going
406       long wave radiation) is emissivity*stefanBoltzmann*T^4 + rho*lwdown,
407       where the reflectivity rho = 1-emissivity for conservation reasons. Once
408       this is established, we can remove the CPP-Flag (if we want to).
409    o pkg/seaice:
410      - qualify a stop statement in S/R seaice_check: EXF_READ_EVAP and
411        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE are only required if SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES is defined
412      - sort out emissivity and long wave radiation, step 1: make SEAICE_emissivity
413        what the name implies (and not emissivity*BoltzmannConstant), this means
414        the old default value of 5.5e-8 now means
415        5.5e-8/5.670e-8 = 0.97001763668430343479 as ocean_emissivity in
416        S/R exf_readparms
417      - FV-discretization of the B-grid LSOR solver, turn on with
418        SEAICE_LSRBNEW. This new solver also involves a slight re-organization
419        of the calling routine dynsolver, so that B and C-grid code look a
420        little more alike.
421      - fix index bugs in ostres.F (B-grid code)
422    o pkg/seaice/seaice_ocean_budget.F: change (unused) code to make it look better
423    o pkg/seaice/seaice_readparms.F: make ocean_emissivity*stefanBoltzmann the
424      default for SEAICE_emissivity, if useEXF; requires setting a wrong
425      parameter value in global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice/data.seaice for
426      backward compatiblity
427    o model/src: use sigmaR in calc_ivdc
428    
429    checkpoint63g (2011/12/16)
430    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
431      fix heat conservation of the coupled ocean-seaice system.
432      when SEAICE_HEAT_CONSERV_FIX is defined, the mismatch of
433      solid vs liquid water treatment is resolved via QNET.
434    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
435      add missing term for sublimation in saltFlux, which was breaking conservation.
436    o pkg/seaice/seaice_model.F:
437      Remove this patholigical case treatment in evolution branch,
438      where it is un-necessary and breaks conservation.
439      Update global_ocean.cs32x15/results accordingly for
440      output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt and output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt
441    o model/src:
442      useRealFreshWaterFlux: remove masking of EmPmP (using maskInC) in
443      external_forcing_surf.F and apply mask directly in S/R SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE.
444    o pkg/obcs:
445      modify Stevens boundary conditions so that S/R obcs_calc_stevens computes
446      tendency for temperature and salinity that is then applied to update
447      theta and salt in S/R obcs_apply_ts; this requires proper masking of all
448      horizontal advection and diffusion contributions on the boundary (in
449      S/Rs gad_advection, gad_calc_rhs, gmredi_rtransport, gmredi_calc_diff), and
450      removing the mask in S/R timestep_tracer. The advantage of this approach is
451      that the updated tracer values include contributions from the surface
452      forcing and vertical diffusion.
453      This modification changes exp4.stevens because of vertical diffusion.
454    o model/src:
455      change non-curvilinear grid setting to also work with exch2 + blank tiles:
456      - move delX,delY to new header file (SET_GRID.h) and adjust length to 1rst
457        face dimensions.
458      - new S/R INI_LOCAL_GRID to define model tile-local grid (using same units
459        as delX,delY) and called from S/R INI_CARTESIAN_GRID, INI_CYLINDER_GRID
460        and INI_SPHERICAL_POLAR_GRID.
461      change test-experiment global_ocean.90x40x15:
462      - split the domain in many more tiles (9x4 tiles of 10x10 each);
463      - switch to exch2 and remove 1 blank-tile (but only for MPI test).
464      - update results of both test (std & dwnslp).
465    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstat_calc.F: fix problem with non-initialised halos in
466       tmp-fields for TARGET_NEC_SX at the cost of extra loops and less vectorisation
467    o model/src:
468      - take sigma-coords related code out of update_etah.F into new S/R UPDATE_ETAWS
469        and fix initialisation when using sigma-coords.
470    o model/src:
471     - improve Gael's changes from Jan 14, 2011 "addition of an 'update' of hfacc etc.
472       to their current value at the beginning of forward_step.F": add a new run-time
473       switch "doResetHFactors" (default=false) and use it to do (or not) the resetting.
474     - set doResetHFactors=T in the following test exp:
475        global_ocean.90x40x15/input (rStar) & input.dwnslp (linFS),
476        global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice (rStar), hs94.cs-32x32x5/input.impIGW (linFS)
477        and tutorial_global_oce_in_p (nonLinFS in p)
478    o pkg/ecco
479      - added IES cost term
480    o verification/advect_xz
481      - scale down the depth by 1/100 (from 200 km to just 2.km)
482      - add secondary test using divergent flow, r-star and implicit vertical advection.
483      - add note (check_conserve_TS.txt) and matlab script to check global
484        conservation of T & S with NonLin-FreeSurf and Adams-Bashforth.
485    o pkg/rbcs:
486      - add missing relaxUFile & relaxVFile in namelist (in rbcs_readparms.F).
487    o pkg/obcs (Stevens BCs):
488      - fix various problems in the phase speed computations of the Stevens
489        boundary conditions:
490        - sign error for western and southern boundaries,
491        - time tendencies were underestimated by factor of dTracerLev and some just
492          zero (for multidim advection schemes) -> now estimate time tendencies
493          from difference between previous (n) time level and the one before (n-1);
494          this requires storing a field per tracer per boundary, also in the pickup
495          files.
496        - replace deltaTmom in cflMer/Zon computation with dTracerLev
497        - set default phase velocity to cflMer/Zon
498      - update verification experiment exp4.stevens
499    o pkg/generic_advdiff (implicit_r):
500      - fix implicit vertical advection conservation with AB and/or NonLin-FreeSurf
501        (remove Tr*d/dz(w) in gad_implicit_r.F and add it in gad_calc_rhs.F);
502      - fix implicit vertical diffusion or advection with NonLin FreeSurf
503        (was using current recip_hFacC instead of future recip_hFacC): set future
504        recip_hFac in thermodynamics.F and pass & use it in all vertical implicit
505        solver S/R ;
506      - fill diagnostics of vertical advective fluxes (computed from tendency)
507        when using implicit vert. advection;
508      - update output of exp that uses NonLin-FreeSurf & implicit vertical diffusion:
509         global_ocean.90x40x15 (fwd+AD), global_ocean.cs32x15 (4 fwd +4 AD),
510         tutorial_global_oce_in_p (fwd), tutorial_tracer_adjsens (AD)
511         and cpl_aim+ocn (used in ocean); to be fixed: bottom_ctrl_5x5.
512    o pkg/diagnostics:
513      - add diags for T & S tendency which goes through Adams-Bashforth.
514    
515    checkpoint63f (2011/11/30)
516    o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
517      - join some loops to reduce number of if-statements
518      - fix a bug in code for northern and southern boundaries.
519    o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_varia.F
520      - undo resetting UVM=0 that has slipped in unnoticed in r1.49 and
521        caused zero ice-velocities for the B-grid code
522    o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_fixed.F
523      - fix a bug in the initialisation of the second metric terms
524        k2AtC and k2AtZ: k2AtC was set to the value of k2AtZ and k2AtZ was 0.
525      - this affects all seaice configurations with useCurviLinearGrid = .true.
526        and SEAICEuseDynamics = .true. (default) and SEAICEuseMetricTerms
527        = .true. (default)
528      - the only verification experiment affected is global_ocean.cs32x15:
529        icedyn, seaice, and seaice_dynmix (AD)
530    o pkg/thsice/thsice_diagnostics_state.F
531      - only for TARGET_NEC_SX: initialise all of tmpFld, so that overlap does
532        not contain garbage that can lead to surprises in diagstats_calc.F
533    o model/src:
534      - move bi,bj loops inside INTEGR_CONTINUITY ;
535      - call INTEGR_CONTINUITY directly from forward_step.F
536        (previously called from momentum_correction_step.F)
537      - call UPDATE_ETAH from integr_continuity.F and update initialise_varia.F,
538        forward_step.F and pkg/ecco/the_main_loop.F
539    o model/src/do_oceanic_phys.F:
540      - reset addMass to zero only if useICEFRONT ;
541      - separated k-loop for rhoInSitu calculation ;
542      - add 2 diagnostics for wVel*delta^k(Rho) at constant pressure (= WdRHO_P)
543        and at constant T,S (= WdRHOdP);
544      NOTE: change diagnostics WRHOMASS : this is now simply the Vertical transport
545        of In-Situ Density (Anomaly) (=wVel*rho^bar-k) (previously was Vertical
546        transport of locally-referenced potential density);
547        to recover old diag: (WRHOMASS)_old = (WRHOMASS)_new -1/2 * (WdRHOdP)
548    o gluemnc:
549      - replace ncrcat with ncks when adding variables to *.glob.nc
550      - change the way variables without record dimensions are handled so that
551        files that have variables with and without record variables can be glued:
552        add a record dimension with a new unique name to be able to differentiate
553        between variable with and without a-prior record dimensions. Remove
554        this record dimension before adding the variable to the *.glob.nc file.
555        This procedure automatically works also for grid.*.nc files that do not
556        have any record dimension.
557    o verification/cpl_aim+ocn:
558      - generate new reference output on baudelaire (gfortran, mpich2) (previously
559        from old aces-grid cluster, ao + ifort) and update 'run_cpl_test' script.
560    o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
561      - add code for northern and southern boundaries.
562      - reorder some loops to save some operations and so that drFBar can be scalar
563    o model/src:
564      - re-arrange extrapolation calculation in Adams-Bashforth S/R (affects machine
565        truncation) and add diagnostics for Adams-Bashforth tendency increment.
566      - update test-exp. AD output:
567        1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5, lab_sea.noseaicedyn, obcs_ctrl;
568      and FWD output: exp4 (x3), fizhi-cs-32x32x40, fizhi-cs-aqualev20,
569        front_relax (x3), global_ocean.90x40x15 (x2), global_ocean.cs32x15 (x5),
570        global_ocean_ebm, ideal_2D_oce, internal_wave, isomip (x3), lab_sea (x4),
571        matrix_example, MLAdjust (x5), natl_box (x2), tutorial_advection_in_gyre,
572        tutorial_global_oce_in_p, tutorial_global_oce_latlon and
573        tutorial_plume_on_slope.
574    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F: add special code for TARGET_NEC_SX
575      that vectorises. This code uses 3 extra 2D fields, F90 array assignments
576      and F90 intrinsic routines SUM, MINVAL, MAXVAL, but since TARGET_NEC_SX
577      does not even come with an F77 compiler anymore, this should not be
578      a limitation
579    
580    checkpoint63e (2011/11/06)
581    o pkg/seaice adjoint of LSR:
582      - substantially rework STORE dirs.
583      - add new flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER and parameter SOLV_MAX_FIXED
584        this flag will do SOLV_MAX_ITERS but only store SOLV_MAX_FIXED fields
585        and only perform SOLV_MAX_FIXED adjoint iters.
586        If flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undef-ined, the store in the iteration
587        always goes to same record, meaning that the last forward field will be
588        the one used in the adjoint - an approximation.
589      - now produces non-zero LSR-related gradients, and acceptable gradients for
590        An's zonal (x-z) test case (to be checked in)
591      - lab_sea: produces acceptable gradients for lab_sea with forward/backward LSR
592        (but these are screwed up by the thermodynamics in the first place);
593        reduce from 4 to 3 timesteps to avoid t.d. issue as temporary solution;
594        output_adm.txt also reflects changes to seaice_lsr
595      - global_ocean.cs32x15:
596        * the "default" input_ad.seaice has been re-defined to always exclude dynamics
597          (output_adm.seaice.txt was updated)
598        * new input_ad.seaice_dynmix tests a forward LSR / backward free-drift
599          (output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt)
600    o test-exp. exp4+stevens:
601      - switch off pTracers and nonHydrostatic (restart problems with NH); update output
602    o pkg/seaice (lsr solver):
603      - put coriolis term into FORCEX,Y (as in seaice_evp.F; previously in rhsU,V only);
604        update output (change truncation) of FWD test exp lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15
605      - fix SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT for new OBCS version (ndef OBCS_UVICE_OLD)
606      - new parameter "LSR_mixIniGuess" allows (if=2,4) to mix free-drift solution
607        into initial guess for linearised solver; use weight ~ (1/err)^2,4.
608      - compute (with new S/R) and print initial (+ free-driff sol. if available)
609        and final residual of linearised system.
610    o pkg/pp81: add diagnostics for vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivity
611      (requires new subroutines pp81_init_fixed.F/pp81_diagnostics_init.F)
612    o pkg/obcs: Stevens BCs (still only for east and west)
613      - fix Stevens BCs by using intermediate velocities of previous
614        time step as "baroclinic" contribution rather velocity of one grid cell
615        inside the boundaries; more consistent but makes the entire treatment
616        more complicated, requires new pickup files and two new S/Rs:
617        obcs_copy_uv_n and obcs_save_uv_n
618        keep old version with flag OBCS_STEVENS_USE_INTERIOR_VELOCITY
619        (undefined by default)
620      - silently move computation of some grid factors into separate loops to
621        save some recomputations
622      - add a hack for non-linear free surface
623      - add a verification experiment to exp4 that tests this code
624    o make gluemnc/xplodemnc work with (moron) non-GNU shell tools
625    
626    checkpoint63d (2011/10/25)
627    o pkg/obcs + seaice-dynamics:
628      - new implementation calls OBCS_APPLY_UVICE (in seaice_dynsolver.F) before
629        solving for uIce,vIce and prevent SEAICE_LSR or SEAICE_EVP to modify OB
630        values (consistent with an implicit method).
631      - add option OBCS_UVICE_OLD (in OBCS_OPTIONS.h, defined by default) to
632        return to older implementation (same results as before); note that none of
633        the "experimental" OBCS_SEAICE options are implemented in the new version.
634      - switch test exp. seaice_obcs to use new version (update output).
635    o pkg/seaice:
636      - add few stop (B-grid & CS-exch, B-grid & obcs, AUTODIFF & SEAICE_maskRHS)
637      - add parenthesis in Water-Ice drag calculations (evp & lsr);
638      - in seaice_lsr.F, simplify and fix AA3 setting in case sNx or sNy=1;
639        and fix case SEAICE_waterDrag=0 (but unstable if no or little seaice)
640      - update output of test exp lab_sea that uses evp or lsr (fwd+ad)
641        and global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn & seaice fwd+ad).
642    o pkg/layers:
643      - Include potential density as new coordinate (Thanks to David Munday)
644    o pkg/dic:
645      - Remove subroutine CALC_PCO2_APPROX_CO3 from carbon_chem.F and add
646        carbonate computation/output to CALC_PCO2_APPROX
647    o pkg/generic_advdiff
648      - make TAF generate code that vectorizes:
649        gad_dst3fl_adv_*.F, gad_u3c4_impl_r.F
650    o model/src:
651      - improve vectorization also for adjoint code of
652        solve_tridiagonal and solve_pentadiagonal. As this requires up to
653        5 new 3D-fields, this code is only turned on for the combination of
654        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC and TARGET_NEC_SX. Also remove error message
655        for singular matrix check (only for TARGET_NEC_SX).
656      - remove hard-wiring of CPP-flag ALLOW_SOLVERS_KLOOPINSIDE to
657        ALLOW_AUTODIFF. This flag now needs to be set outside of
658        solve_tri/pentadiagonal.F
659    o pkg/exf:
660      - fix previous modif in exf_readparms.F (revision 1.66: treatment of
661        optional namelist EXF_NML_OBCS).
662      - add many debug-print (to trace down where pkg/cal error msg comes from)
663    o pkg/mom_vecinv/mom_vi_hdissip.F
664      - rearrange loops so that vectorization is improved and in particular
665        the adjoint routine vectorizes. The code is a little longer now, but I
666        think easier to read.
667        Note: CPP-flag MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 is not tested.
668    o pkg/seaice:
669      - allow to specify initial seaice velocity from files (uIceFile,vIceFile)
670    o pkg/exch2:
671      - alternative code (without tile x tile matrix) for cumulated (global) sum;
672        used as default; keep using matrix version in adjustment.cs-32x32x1.
673    o tools/build_options:
674      - after merging some MPI and/or multi-threads specific optfiles so that
675        the modified default optfile support both built (using genmake2 -mpi
676        for the MPI built, using genmake2 -omp for OpenMP built),
677        move now obsolete optfiles to tools/build_options/unsupported/
678       (add copy of email sent to support list in doc/optfiles_changes.txt)
679    
680    checkpoint63c (2011/09/28)
681    o pkg/ebm:
682      - fix ebm_zonalmean.F for several procs in Ydir (nPy > 1); update output of
683        test exp. global_ocean_ebm (affects machine truncation, 12 digits for cg2d)
684    o pkg/seaice (SItracer pickup)
685    * Simple code for pickup of SItracer fields (#define ALLOW_SITRACER)
686      To be done:
687      - thorough testing of missing fields in S/R seaice_read_pickup
688      - thorough matching between generic tracers and specific fields used
689        (e.g. volume-weighted age, area-weighted age, salinity, ...)
690    o pkg/grdchk:
691      - all procs calculate and print finite-difference gradient (for testreport)
692      - change description output used by testreport;
693      - AD testing: also compare and report Finite-difference gradient;
694        => update all output_adm*.txt
695    o test exp. global_ocean_ebm:
696      - switch back useRealFreshWaterFlux (no problem anymore with run-off);
697        and turn on exactConserve; update (fwd) output.
698    o pkg/seaice (LSR):
699      - print to STDOUT number of solver iterations at SEAICE_monFreq interval.
700      - modify solver to deal cleanly with u/v switch at face edges (CS-grid):
701        * identical results with non-CS topology (but save up to half of EXCH calls)
702        * no much changes in cs-32 verification tests since no ice at face edges
703         (differences due to convergence criteria, since nb of iterations changed)
704        * expect some differences on lat-lon-cap grid.
705        update FWD results of global_ocean.cs32x15 test exp. (icedyn & seaice)
706    o pkg/exch2:
707      - add new CPP option to disable Cumul-Sum matrix (to save storage when using
708        many tiles); until alternative coding is added, just add a stop.
709    o pkg/kpp:
710      - move ptracer/salt correction to KPP diffusivity from calc_3d_diffusivity.F
711        to S/R KPP_CALC_DIFF_PTR (+ add tracer-index to argument list).
712    o optfiles:
713      - merged few MPI specific (*+mpi*) and multi-threads specific (*+mth) optfiles
714        into corresponding standard one, which now support different build:
715        (when using "genmake2 -mpi" for MPI built, "genmake2 -omp" for OpenMP built)
716      - add "darwin_amd64_gfortran" optfile (initially from Constantinos, tested by Gael)
717    o pkg/obcs (seaice):
718      - add missing EXCH for uIce,vIce after applying OBCS;
719      - remove S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_X/Y , disable S/R EXF_SET_OBCS_X/Y by adding
720        argument = number of levels to S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_XZ/YZ and S/R
721        EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ ; update obcs_exf_load.F;
722      - fix EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ for multi-threaded (assuming loaded arrays are shared)
723      - verification exp. seaice_obcs: split domain in 2 tiles ; add SIZE.h_mpi
724        and eedata.mth for MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
725    o pkg/flt:
726      - make FLT EXCH working with multi-threads (and MPI + multi-threads);
727      - use buffer for floats IO (trajectories & profiles); size set in FLT_SIZE.h;
728      - fix pickup and trajectories + profiles output with multi-threads;
729      - add parameter to select group of fields to write along trajectory and
730        profile (default unchanged);
731      - only call PORT_RAND* function when flt_noise <> 0;
732      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. flt_example.
733    o eesupp/src:
734      - fix S/R ALL_PROC_DIE for MPI+multi-threads.
735      - USE_OMP_THREADING: check that number of threads (from eedata) matches
736        actual number (from env.var. setting).
737    o pkg/ebm:
738      - fix multi-threading in ebm_area_t.F ; clean-up EBM.h header file.
739      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. global_ocean_ebm
740    
741    checkpoint63b (2011/08/29)
742    o pkg/ebm:
743      - fix sign of runoff;
744      - update directly forcing fields (Qnet,EmPmR) to use standard
745        external_forcing_surf.F (remove ebm_forcing_surf.F);
746      - avoid loading forcing fields a 2nd time (1rst time from ini_forcing.F);
747      - set either tauThetaClimRelax (in data) or tauThetaZonRelax (in data.ebm)
748        and apply relaxation towards corresponding SST field (2-D map or ZonAver).
749      - update global_ocean_ebm parameters file data and update output (fwd+ad).
750    o verification/matrix_example:
751      - split domain in 8 tiles (2x4); add SIZE.h_mpi and eedata.mth for
752        MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
753    o pkg/matrix:
754      - change name of S/R MATRIX_INIT to S/R MATRIX_INIT_VARIA ;
755      - fix for multi-tiles (add bi,bj indices to exp/impMatrixCounter);
756      - fix for multi-threaded (remove DATA statement);
757      - use standard DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE function;
758      - add MATRIX_OPTIONS.h
759    o verification/matrix_example:
760       To allow to split the domain in several tiles, change the domain size
761        from 31x31 to 32x32 by adding 1 row (on Southern side) + 1 column (on
762        Western side) of land points.
763    o (*_)write_pickup:
764      - fix few bugs in mypackage_read/write_pickup.F
765      - in MDS_WR_METAFILES calls, replace "myTime" by a local copy into
766        array of length 1 (was caught by compiler syntax-check).
767    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential solver):
768      - fix initialisation of main diagonal matrix (for overlap values)
769    o tools/build_options:
770      - towards single optfile for MPI and non-MPI built: merge few +mpi optfile
771        into previously non MPI one (linux_am64 pgf77,open64,pathf90,ifort11)
772      - linux_amd64_gfortran: merge +mpi_generic version into standard optfile:
773        * move IEEE flags to DEVEL section; take IEEE flags from +mpi_generic ;
774        * FAST case: for now, keep -O3 with ini_masks_etc.F in NOOPTFILES list;
775        and use "-devel" testreport option for standard testing on baudelaire.
776    o pkg/grdchk:
777      - Assume that all gradient-check position are within the same tile
778        corresponding to global indices (iGloTile,jGloTile) and that
779        positions (i,j indices or nbeg) are local to this tile;
780      - set tile local-indices and proc. number according to tile global-indices;
781      - remove grdchkwhichproc from namelist (retired param);
782      - send adjoint gradient to all procs so that all procs print it to STDOUT;
783      - switch on MPI test for global_ocean.90x40x15 AD test experiment.
784    o adding package bbl (Bottom Boundary Layer)
785      description in MITgcm/pkg/bbl/bbl_description.tex
786      example/test experiment in MITgcm_contrib/bbl
787    o adjoint verifications
788      - changed 5 experiments to multi-tiles
789        * global_ocean.90x40x15
790        * obcs_ctrl
791        * offline_exf_seaice
792        * tutorial_dic_adjoffline
793        * tutorial_tracer_adjsens
794        changed reference output for those that crossed tile boundaries
795        (changed choices of gradient check positions)
796      - with same tiling, switch on MPI test for the last 4 (add SIZE.h_mpi)
797      - temporary bug fix in grdchk_loc.F for obcs
798    o genmake2 & testreport
799      - add target "obj" (just for OBJFILES files) to Makefile;
800      - add option to specify FEXTRAFLAGS on command line.
801    o pkg/mypackage:
802      - remove bi,bj arguments from argument list of S/R MYPACKAGE_CALC_RHS
803    
804    checkpoint63a (2011/08/02)
805    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
806      - fix velocity-potential calculation when using OBCS: balance net inflow
807        at each level (new S/R OBCS_DIAG_BALANCE).
808      - fix some of the problems with OBCS in stream-function calculation.
809    o pkg/exf/exf_readparms.F
810      - make treatment of optional namelists (EXF_NML_04, EXF_NML_SGRUNOFF,
811        EXF_NML_OBCS) more consistent, so that you need not have these lists
812        in data.exf when they are not used.
813    o optim/optim_readdata.F:
814      - add some output about obcs variables that might help debugging
815      - add a check about nvarlength
816    o pkg/ctrl: once again, fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
817    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
818      - fix mask for OBCS (still problems in stream-function with OBCS);
819      - add specific parameter (default = main code CG2D params) for solver;
820      - in case of poor convergence, use solution corresponding to lowest residual.
821    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: small changes that permit vectorizable
822      adjoint code. In general statements like tmpscal=fld(i,j) are problematic
823      and should be avoided where possible.
824    o model/src (rStar):
825      - include r* effect on reference-state (PhiRef) in totPhiHyd
826        (so that it's really the potential anomaly at the cell center);
827        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS.
828      - test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15: reduce viscA4 (was not stable) and
829        update output (because of z* in totPhiHyd and viscA4 changes);
830      - keep the previous diagnostics as "PHIHYDcR" (closer to potential anomaly
831        @ constant r) until interpolation at constant r is implemented.
832    o pkg/diagnostics
833      - fix RCENTER diagnostics in case cell center is not at interface middle
834    o add code for TEOS-10 (www.teos-10.org, McDougall et al. 2011). Use
835      this eos with eosType = 'TEOS10', in data (PARM01). This eos implies
836      that THETA and SALT are "conservative temperature" and "absolute
837      salinity"
838    o pkg/ctrl
839      - fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
840      - ctrl_pack/unpack_*: remove unused variables and some obsolete code
841    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
842      - fix recomputation with FENTY_AREA_EXPANSION_CONTRACTION code,
843        remove then obsolete STORE directives
844      - fix STORE directives for tice and tices, so that only the
845        appropriate part of the fields are stored (and not the entire
846        field); update global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice AD output.
847      - cosmetic changes: adjust CPP flags and indentation for better
848        legibilty
849    o pkg/autodiff: add mnc-output of adBottomDragFld (code contributed by
850      Chris Wilson)
851    o pkg/gmredi:
852       Add Sub-Meso Eddies parameterisation from Baylor (for now, disabled with TAF),
853       and test it in verification exp. "front_relax.bvp" (update output.bvp.txt)
854    
855    checkpoint63  (2011/07/11)
856    o pkg/exch2:
857     - rename+move: nTiles in W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h --> exch2_nTiles in W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h
858     - exch2 version of Cumul-Sum routine: S/R W2_SET_MAP_CUMSUM set up the
859       (2*nTiles)x(nTiles) Cumul-Sum matrix and Master Proc collects all tiles X,Y
860       increments, calculates Cumul-Sum @ tile origin and sends results to each tile.
861    o pkg/diagnostics:
862     - deal with pairs of post-processed diags which are computed together; in
863       particular, re-order list of diags within 1 file to save 2nd computation.
864     - add S/R to compute velocity stream-function (called after velocity-potential
865       calculation) from divergence free transport -> new diagnostics "PsiVEL".
866     - add parameter to select grid-point location where PsiVEL == 0.
867    o eesupp/src:
868       new S/R to calculate cumulated sum on tiled array, corner grid-cell location
869       (specific S/R needed with exch2 topology - for now, just print an error msg)
870    o pkg/shelfice
871     - Implement friction velocity-dependent transfer coefficients following
872       Holland and Jenkins, JPO, 1999
873       Original code by M. Losch with small modifs.
874       Enable with CPP option SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
875       and runtime flag SHELFICEuseGammaFrict
876    o verification lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15:
877     - use tools/xmakedepend (instead of cyrus_makedepend, in genmake_local):
878       does not miss some dependencies (but is slower) and also works with many files
879       (default makedepend limitation for AD built).
880     - use cyrus_makedepend in adjustment.128x64x1 (so that it still tested).
881    o pkg/diagnostics:
882     - add run-time parameter "useMissingValue" (def=False) to fill land-point
883        (i.e., where mask=0) with MissingValue ; used only in MNC output file.
884       This replaces CPP-option DIAGNOSTICS_MISSING_VALUE.
885     - Extend the use of "missing_value" setting from data.diagnostics for the case
886       of counter-diagnostics (where fraction-weight is zero). This applies both to
887       MNC and MDS output files.
888    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
889      - add 'a priori' cap of latent heat flux based on actual mass considerations
890        when SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET is used in conjunction with the
891        non-legacy seaice_solve4temp.
892      - add diagnostic of the residual sublimation freshwater flux (the freshwater
893        flux taken from the ocean if the total actual latent heat fluxes exceed
894        the maximum)
895      - remove the CPP switch around the *_FWbySublim unit change and move diagnostic
896       fill for SIatmQnt, SIfwSubl, SIatmFW to the end of seaice_growth.F.
897      - add diagnostic of the actual sublimation freshwater flux (that is 0. ifndef
898       SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET) and of the latent heat flux (evap+sublim).
899      - bug fix : frWtrAtm needs a_FWbySublim ifdef SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET.
900      - bug fix : missing part to Martin's r_FWbySublim pathological case fix.
901    o verification 1D_ocean_ice_column:
902       made model domain truly 1x1x23 instead of 5x5x23 with only center cell (3,3,:) wet
903       update results
904    o pkg/diagnostics:
905     - Implement setting of "Post-Processed" diagnostics (corresponding to gdiag(5)='P')
906       which are not filled-up but computed from other diags ; In this case, the mate
907       diag points to the primary (filled-up) diag to used for post processing.
908     - Update Velocity-potential computation using post-processed diag framework.
909     ==> Change the ordering of fields and time-periods in MDS output file
910       when using periodic averaging: now writes one time record with the full set
911       of fields for this time period, then the next time reccord (it used to be
912       one field with the full set of time records then the next field).
913         Note: this is now similar to NetCDF (MNC) output file. <==
914    
915    checkpoint62z (2011/06/21)
916    o adjoint monitor:
917     - Add adjoint monitor output for packages exf, seaice
918       and update relevant testreport output
919    o pkg/seaice:
920     - re-order diags inits so that they appear in order in available_diagnostics.log
921     - added diags: hsnow thermo. rates of change, area preceeding ridiging process,
922       area/heff/hsnow preceeding thermodynamic growth/melt.
923     - modified diag: SIdA; output actual effect, as the description states.
924     - modified description: SIqneti, SIqneto, SIuheff, SIvheff, SIdAb*, HSNOW.
925     - retired redundant diags: SIyneg, SIfice, SIsnwice, SIthdgrh.
926       (SIyneg->SIdHbOCN; SIfice->SIdHbATC; SIsnwice->SIdHbFLO;
927        and SIthdgrh->SIdHbOCN+SIdHbATC+SIdHbATO)
928     - modified diags (2) : switch all SIdA*, SIdH*, SIdS* from delta to rates.
929     - added diagnostics for seaice generic tracers (SItr*).
930     - added SItrUnit and SItrNameLong run time param (for SItr* diags).
931     - in diag names, replaced 'PrTh' abbrev. of 'preceeding thermo' with 'PT'.
932     I. Fenty: 18-Jun-2011:
933     Minor changes to seaice package:
934     1) Retired old variables (A22, SEAICE_lhsublim, areaMax, areaMin, hiceMin) and
935        added some new ones (SEAICE_area_reg, SEAICE_hice_reg, SEAICE_area_floor)
936       - Differentiated "regularization variables" from "floor variables"
937        * areaMin became SEAICE_area_reg (old A22) and SEAICE_area_floor
938        * hiceMin became SEAICE_hice_reg (old hiceMin)
939          (with _reg meaning regularization variable)
940       - SEAICE_lhSublim becomes lhSublim, the sum of SEAICE_lhEvap and SEAICE_lhFusion
941        so as to ensure energy conservation when going between phases
942      - A22 was not used anywhere
943     2) Changed regularization procedure for heffActual and hsnowActual to ensure
944        well-boundedness and smooth adjoint in seaice_growth.F
945     3) Fixed a bug where seaice_solve4temp would not recognize ice-free grid cells
946        because the old regularization always set heffActual >= 0.05 cm
947     4) Changed the model so that the default behavior is to put a small (10^-5) "floor"
948        on AREA when HEFF > 0.
949      - went from requiring ALLOW_PRECLUDE_INFINITESIMAL_AREA to be defined to
950        requiring that DISABLE_AREA_FLOOR *not* be defined
951     Affected verifications:
952      - 1D_ocean_ice_column (output.txt output_adm.txt)
953      - global_ocean.cs32x15 (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt)
954    o pkg/diagnostics:
955      - move MNC code from diagnostics_out.F into new diagnostics_mnc_out.F (2 S/R).
956      - rename S/R GETDIAG to DIAGNOSTICS_GET_DIAG and change type of 1rst argument
957        (was _RL, now integer) with option = 0 to retrieve all levels.
958      - add pieces of code to compute velocity potential at each level (new diagnostics
959        PhiVEL, works only when UVELMASS & VVELMASS are also turned on);
960        for now, using same params as CG2D (target-resisual, max Nb of iter ...).
961      - fix few issues with counter diagnostics in diagnostics_setdiag.F &
962        diagstats_setdiag.F (if diagnostic counter is itself a counter diag)
963        and in diagnostics_fract_fill.F (do not need a valid pointer for the
964        diagnostics counter-mate); check that definition of counter-diagnostic
965        includes a valid counter-mate (in diagnostics_set_levels.F).
966    o model/src (rStar):
967      - add rStar scaling factor in diags_phi_hyd.F (similar to calc_grad_phi_hyd.F);
968        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS;
969        update output of test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15.
970    o pkg/seaice:
971      - introduce siEps=1e-5 parameter
972      - use areaMax in AREA update (part 4), consistent with ridging step (part 2.5).
973      - re-organize SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET code.
974      - introduce ALLOW_SITRACER and seaice_tracer_phys.F to handle generic seaice tracer.
975        For now it covers, and was tested for, ice salinity and age (attached to HEFF),
976        as well as ice cover age and ridging index (attached to AREA).
977        For now the run time parameters (in data.seaice/SEAICE_PARM03) are
978        SItrName (e.g. 'age') and SItrMate ('HEFF', which is the default, or 'AREA').
979        Up to SItrMaxNum=3 tracers can be used simultaneously.
980    o pkg/salt_plume:
981      -introduce SPsalFRAC run time parameter that sets the fraction of the
982       salt by-product of ice growth (SPsalFRAC*(1-SIsalFRAC)*salt typically)
983       that gets vertically redistributed (fluxed down) by pkg/salt_plume.
984    o model debug options:
985      - Switch reading of debugMode from S/R INI_PARMS (parameter file "data", stored
986        in PARAMS.h) to S/R EESET_PARMS (parameter file "eedata", stored in EEPARAMS.h).
987      - Refine debug-msg printing selection (3 new levels):
988        debugMode  : controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
989        debugLevel : controls printing of algorithm-relevant auxiliary/debug messages
990         debLevZero =  0 ; /* level of disabled aux. msg printing */
991         debLevA =  1 ; /* level of minimum  aux. msg printing */
992         debLevB =  2 ; /* level of low aux. print (report read-file opening)*/
993         debLevC =  3 ; /* level of moderate debug prt (most pkgs debug msg) */
994         debLevD =  4 ; /* level of enhanced debug prt (add DEBUG_STATS prt) */
995         debLevE =  5 ; /* level of extensive debug printing */
996        New debugLevel default: with default debugMode value (=F),
997          = 2 (debLevB) or = 1 (debLevA) in case ALLOW_AUTODIFF is defined.;
998          and if debugMode=T, default debugLevel = 4 (debLevD).
999        Relation with previous settings:
1000         debLevB (=2) corresponds to former debLevA (=1)
1001         debLevD (=4) corresponds to former debLevB (=2)
1002        Note:
1003         a) if debugLevel=0, skip WRITE_GRID call when nIter0 > 0 (same as before);
1004         b) default debugLevel=1 is convenient in AD runs (avoid many file opening msgs);
1005            to recover previous default, set debugLevel=2 (e.g. AD-test hs94.1x64x5)
1006      - Add new parameter (printResidualFreq, read from PARM02 namelist) to print
1007        detailed CG solvers convergence; off (=0) by default, except if debugLevel=5.
1008    o pkg/obcs:
1009      - change OBCSfixTopo default from True to False (should not change the results);
1010        keep OBCSfixTopo=T in verification-exp. seaice_obcs.
1011    o pkg/thsice:
1012      - fix bug in thsice_calc_thickn.F (was introduced in version 1.18) in
1013        2nd layer seaice sublimation (unlikely to happen)
1014      - use Interior mask for OBCS in thsice_advection.F (similar to what is
1015        done in gad_advection & seaice_advection).
1016    o adjoint:
1017      bug fix spotted by Gael Forget:
1018      seaice_advection and thsice_advection still had
1019      legacy CPP options to avoid CS corner updates for adjoint
1020    o pkg/seaice:
1021      => Change some of the defaults (2011/05/29):
1022         - change SEAICEuseFluxForm default (from False to True)
1023         - change DIFF1 default (from 0.004 m/s to 0. m/s)
1024         And print warnings if DIFF1 is not set in data.seaice and centered
1025          avection scheme is used without any diffusion.
1026      also:
1027      - fix seaice_diffusion calls in default AdvScheme part of seaice_advdiff.F;
1028      - set SEAICEdiffKh[] default in the same way as SEAICEadvSch[]
1029      - stop if DIFF1<>0 with SEAICEadvScheme <> 2, if DIFF1<>0 with any
1030        other non-zero SEAICEdiffKh[] diffusivity, if SEAICEadvSalt=T with
1031        #undef SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY, if SEAICEadvAge=T with #undef SEAICE_AGE.
1032      update results of test exp.:
1033         lab_sea: output.fd (switch to AdvScheme=33 with diffKh=20)
1034             output.hb87, output_adm.evp (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T and diffKh=200)
1035             output_adm.noseaicedyn (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
1036         offline_exf_seaice: output.seaicetd, output_adm (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
1037         seaice_obcs: output (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
1038      and prescribe old default for SEAICEuseFluxForm (=F) and DIFF1 (=0.004)
1039          for standard fwd & AD lab_sea tests (to keep the same output).
1040    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1041      - use Ian Fenty's capping formulas for actual ice
1042      thickness thoughout EVOLUTION branch.
1043      - put treatment pathological case #2) in CPP brackets
1044      (ALLOW_AVOID_INFINITESIMAL_AREA, undef by default).
1045      - update global_ocean.cs32x15 and 1D_ocean_ice_colum results accordingly.
1046    o pkg/seaice:
1047      - seaice_diffusion.F : remove the min(DX,DY) factor permanently;
1048      pass the Laplacian diffusivity (in m^2/s) diffKh as a parameter;
1049      also pass fac as a param, which can be 1. (to update the tendency
1050      field) or the time step (to update the field itself).
1051      - seaice_advdiff.F: for multidim, call seaice_diffusion with
1052      e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=1; for single-dim, call
1053      seaice_diffusion with e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=time step.
1054      - SEAICE_PARAMS.h, seaice_readparms.F, seaice_check.F :
1055      hooks to handle SEAICEdiffKhHeff, SEAICEdiffKhArea, etc.
1056    o pkg/seaice:
1057      diffusion with centered advection scheme (diffus.F & advect.F):
1058      - simplify S/R DIFFUS (put deltaT & DIFF1 factor outside, move EXCH outside)
1059        to just compute the laplacian of input-field.
1060      - unroll k loop (harmonic,biharmonic diff) in advect.F to save 1 exch call.
1061      - fix flux-form version in diffus.F to conserve tracer.
1062      update output of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 (1rst set of modif affects
1063       machine truncation) and lab_sea.salt_plume (conservative flux-form modif)
1064    
1065    checkpoint62y (2011/05/26)
1066    o pkg/seaice:
1067     - seaice_growth.F : in EVOLUTION branch, always include
1068       a_QSWbyATM_cover in qnet (as it should be).
1069     - verification/global_ocean.cs32x15 : update results accordingly
1070       (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt).
1071    o pkg/seaice + obcs:
1072     - use maskInW & maskInS in multi-dim advection and biharmonic diffusion:
1073       equivalent of assuming no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
1074       update output of seaice_obcs (uses DIFF1 <>0 => biharmonic diffusion)
1075     - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH calls (no longer needed
1076       after changes above);
1077     - obcs+seaice cleaning: apply seaice-tracer OB values to tracer field
1078       only at OB location (instead of over a band of OLx width).
1079    o pkg/seaice:
1080     - fix wrong indices in old (non Flux-Form) diffusion default S/R diffus.F
1081       (dxG(I+1, ...) changed to dxG(I, ...), no impact on Lat-Lon grid)
1082    o pkg/obcs:
1083      - split header file "OBCS.h" into 4 separated files:
1084        OBCS_PARAMS.h, OBCS_GRID.h, OBCS_FIELDS.h & OBCS_SEAICE.h
1085       Note: OBCS_PARAMS.h & OBCS_GRID.h can be included without OBCS_OPTIONS.h
1086         (contain no conditional statement which depends on OBCS options).
1087      - move "useOBCSYearlyFields" from "data.obcs" (hold in OBCS_PARAMS.h)
1088        to parameter file "data.exf", namelist EXF_NML_OBCS (in EXF_PARAM.h).
1089    o ctrl, cost, grdchk & autodiff pkgs:
1090      - make options file more standard (like other {PKG}_OPTIONS.h file but
1091        with AD_CONFIG.h); clean-up some of the included header files.
1092    o pkg/obcs:
1093      - do not mask tracer when applying OB (tracer == 0 could generate problems)
1094      - apply tracer OB values to tracer field only at OB location (instead of
1095        over a band of OLx width)
1096      - clean-up obcs_apply_w.F & obcs_apply_eta.F (since less calls to these S/R)
1097      - remove OBCS_MULTIDIM_OLD_VERSION code in gad_advection.F and remove
1098        obcs_apply_tloc.F & obcs_apply_sloc.F
1099    o obcs in model/src:
1100      - call OBCS_APPLY_W only if NonHydrostatic.
1101      - call OBCS_APPLY_ETA only if NonLinFreeSurf.
1102      - reset dEtaHdt and wVel to zero outside OB interior region ;
1103      - leave tracer unchanged outside OB interior region: This has no effect
1104        on the solution but just to prevent unrealistic tracer value outside OB.
1105      - zero out velocity outside OB interior region: This has no effect on
1106        the solution but just to prevent unrealistic velocity outside OB.
1107    o obcs and non-lin free-surf:
1108       move call to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR from update_r_star.F to calc_r_star.F
1109       and call to OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR from update_surf_dr.F to calc_surf_dr.F
1110       + add argument "etaFld" to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR & OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR:
1111       this fixes missing EXCH + get consistent eta OB value (+ fix restart).
1112       update results of test-exp. exp4(nlfs).
1113    o exp4 (nlfs) test-exp:
1114       use OBC for Eta at Western & Eastern OB (to test prescribing Eta
1115       with NonLin-FreeSurf); update output.nlfs.txt
1116    o obcs and 2d/3d solver norm:
1117       use interior masks (maskInC) to cancel out cg2d & cg3d matrix coeff at OB
1118       and outside OB interior region (will allow to place OB further inside the
1119       domain). Depending on the domain, can affects cg2d-Norm (previous
1120       cancellation outside OB was only partial), e.g. in exp4 & obcs_ctrl,
1121       and cg3d-Norm (previous Norm was computed before canceling OB terms),
1122       e.g. in tutorial_plume_on_slope.
1123      - update output of exp.: exp4 (x2), obcs_ctrl and tutorial_plume_on_slope.
1124    o pkg rbcs:
1125      - split RBCS.h into 3 files: RBCS_SIZE.h, RBCS_PARAMS.h & RBCS_FIELDS.h
1126      - add capability to apply relaxation to horizontal velocity uVel & vVel.
1127    o pkg/grdchk: add gradient check for control variable xx_shifwflx
1128    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_init_fixed.F
1129      fix CPP-flag combinations
1130    o pkg/seaice: Merge iceage code of Pierre Rampal
1131      * update/change/correct ice age calculations
1132      * add age updates for pathological cases
1133      Probably needs more testing...
1134    
1135    checkpoint62x (2011/05/13)
1136    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
1137       high-order vorticity scheme: use interior masks (maskInW & S)
1138       to zero-out (outside OB) gradient of vorticity.
1139    o verification exp.:
1140       turn on "useEnergyConservingCoriolis" (better discretisation) in exp.
1141       hs94.128x64x5 and seaice_obcs ; update results.
1142    o pkg/obcs:
1143      fix bug in OBeta for YZ sections in obcs_exf_load.F
1144    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/shelfice, and optim:
1145      - add new control variable xx_shifwflx (fresh water flux underneath ice
1146        shelves). This is almost as tedious as obcs-ctrl, because the
1147        variables needs its own mask.
1148      - add a cost function term that penalizes the deviation of xx_shifwflx
1149        from the first guess (zero) in analogy to other control variables
1150    o pkg/shelfice:
1151      - start basic adjoint
1152    o pkg/ctrl:
1153      - remove extra 2D field "for good measure" when initializing in
1154        ctrl_set_globfld_[xy/xz/yz].F
1155      - replace hard coded precision 32 (a bug) in ctrl_map_ini_gen by ctrlprec
1156      - improve error messages in ctrl_set_unpack_*
1157    o OBC implementation in momentum:
1158       use interior masks (maskInC,W & S) in momentum S/R:
1159       - multiply divergence, tension and some del^i.u or del^j.v by maskInC
1160       - multiply del2u,del2v by maskInW/S (biharmonic viscosity)
1161       - multiply horiz. grad of vorticity by maskInW/S (in Leith scheme)
1162       - multiply gradient of wVel by maskInW/S in del2w calculation (NonHyd)
1163       Motivation: fix/clean implementation of OBC with biharmonic-viscosity
1164        (and also with Leith/Smagorinsky harmonic-viscosity).
1165       Update output of experiment dome and exp4 (+nlfs).
1166    o exp4 test-exp:
1167      - turn on: nonHydrostatic, exactConserv, viscA4 (with momDissip_In_AB=F)
1168        and prescribe time-varying OB (without pkg/exf) for zonal-velocity
1169        at Western & Eastern Boundaries (+/- 1 per-cent); Also prescribe
1170        time-varying OB at Western-side for wVel (NonHyd); update output.
1171      - add secondary set-up (.nlfs) using NonLin FreeSurf (z*) + mom_vecinv
1172        and biharmonic-viscosity ; also use prescribed time varying OB.
1173    o pkg/obcs:
1174      fix bug in OBWeta,OBWeta indices in obcs_apply_r_star.F
1175    o model/src:
1176      - fix startTime setting when baseTime<>0 & nIter0=0 are specified ;
1177      - initialise startTime & nIter0 with unlikely values: allows to set one
1178        from the other without ambiguity.
1179    o seaice_obcs test-exp.:
1180      add small diffK4T,S to test biharmonic diffusivity with OBCS ; update output.
1181    o pkg/obcs:
1182      - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH for T,S & pTracer:
1183        no longer needed with maskInC,W,S in pkg/generic_advdiff.
1184    o pkg/seaice:
1185      - retired SEAICE_SALINITY and SEAICE_salinity in favor of
1186        SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY and SIsalFRAC, respectively.
1187      - fixed bug in the initialization of sea ice salinity variable HSALT
1188        in seaice_init_varia.F  (removed dependence on ICE2WATR)
1189    o fizhi-cs test exp.:
1190       switch reference output convention for these 2 non-standard test-exp,
1191        from: pgi  6.1-5 on faulks (FC.6, -of linux_ia32_pgf77+authors_fc5)
1192          to: ifort 11.1 on baudelaire (FC.13, -of linux_amd64_ifort11)
1193       reason: faulks might get retired soon and pkg/fizhi has still Pb with gfortran
1194    o model/inc:
1195      - change type of PmEpR array (from _RS to _RL) to fix restart (with "-use_r4")
1196        of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15 (Suncronous time-stepping + Real-FW + NonLin-FS)
1197    o pkg/seaice:
1198      - fix calculation of saltFlux and saltPlumeFlux when using SEAICE_SALINITY
1199    o verification/lab_sea, 1D_ocean_ice_column, seaice_obcs, global_ocean.cs32x15
1200      - updated output*.txt files due to bug fixes in salt, saltPlumeFlux,
1201        and initial HSALT
1202    
1203    checkpoint62w (2011/04/26)
1204    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
1205      - fix calculation of del2u & del2v (no-slip BC) when using Non-Lin Free-Surf.
1206      - use parameter "sideDragFactor" in no-slip BC side-drag part.
1207      - update output of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
1208    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
1209      mask del2u & del2v (no effect on results, but cleaner & closer to mom_fluxform)
1210    o update seaice exp.:
1211      use more consistent parameter values (remove "backward compatability only":
1212       ICE2WATR, SEAICE_lhSublim, SEAICE_cpAir, SEAICE_rhoAir + set rhoConstFresh)
1213      related to thermodynamics seaice. Update output (fwd+AD) of exp.:
1214       1D_ocean_ice_column (x2), lab_sea (x8), ioffline_exf_seaice (x2) & seaice_obcs
1215    o update test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15:
1216      o use default CD_CODE_OPTIONS file (Adams-Bashforth on CD Mom & Coriolis).
1217      o increase Overlap size from 2 to 3 (to allow to test bi-harmonic Visc.)
1218      o new pickup-files from a 100.yr run with pkg/down_slope (input.dwnslp params)
1219      o turn on zStar & viscA4 in standard set-up (dir input/)
1220        and update output files: output.txt & output.dwnslp.txt
1221    o new AD-test experiment: obcs_ctrl
1222      (From Matt MITgcm_Contrib/SOSE/BoxAdj) to test OBCS as control vector.
1223    o pkg/dic:
1224      fix two bugs in handling water vapour pressure in carbonate chemistry
1225      and air-sea fluxes. Found by Val Bennington and Galen McKinley
1226      (add DIC Option = WATERVAP_BUG to recover old results)
1227      update output of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (fwd+AD) & tutorial_dic_adjoffline
1228    o adding allowInteriorFreezing option to check for water below freezing point
1229      at depth and bring the negative heat anomaly to the surface level
1230    o pkgs _fields_load:
1231      - extend GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to deal with non-periodic case (from pkg/rbcs)
1232      - use new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL in pkgs:
1233        bulk_force, cheapaml, cfc, dic, obcs (+ ctrl/ctrl_get_gen_rec), offline and
1234        rbcs to get interpolation weights and time reccord number.
1235      - fix multi-threading in aim_fields_load.F
1236      - apply EXCH to temp arrays [0,1] after reading in dic_fields_load.F
1237    o external_fields_load:
1238      new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to calculate which time-record (and linear
1239       interpolation weights) to use in a periodic time-series ; do not divide by
1240       time-step to convert to integer:
1241       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is not multiple of time-step
1242          (Thanks to Christopher L. Wolfe)
1243       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is an odd multiple of time-step
1244         (was wrong by half of time-step); update results of tutorial_global_oce_in_p.
1245      store index of time-record which is currently loaded:
1246       - works without any assumption on sequence of calls to EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD ;
1247       - needed for the adjoint but not yet used because of extensive recomputations;
1248         (to be fixed soon)
1249    
1250    checkpoint62v (2011/04/02)
1251    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column added to test Ian Fenty's
1252      pkg/seaice_growth.F modifications for improving sea ice code differentiability
1253    o update output of exp4, internal_wave, seaice_obcs, tutorial_plume_on_slope
1254      (new velocity statistics after changing maskInW & maskInS definition)
1255    o pkg/generic_advdiff with OBCS:
1256      use maksInW & maskInS in advective flux and in biharmonic diffusion calculation:
1257      equivalent to assumption of no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
1258      This will affect the results if using obcs+biharmonic diffusion.
1259      update output_adm.txt of experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5 (not expected since no obc)
1260    o pkg/obcs:
1261      change definition of maskInW & maskInS: leave OB edges inside (maskIn=1)
1262      (e.g., maskInW(OB_Ie)=1 ) so that velocity normal-component at OB is still
1263      in Interior region. No impact on solution but affects Velocity monitor stats.
1264    o pkg/ptracers (adjoint)
1265      New option AUTODIFF_PTRACERS_SPLIT_FILES for writing separate
1266      tape file for each tracer
1267    o model/inc/src and pkg/autodiff: add parameters that allow to turn
1268      of parts of the adjoint code at run time. For now, there are only
1269      useKPPinAdMode, useGMrediInAdMode, and useSEAICEinAdMode. These
1270      parameters are set in data.pkg.
1271      This is the lazy coward's version of doing this, but still useful for
1272      debugging. In order to do it right, everything needs to be moved to
1273      pkg/autodiff.
1274    o pkg/autodiff: fix global_sum_tile_ad.F by resetting adsumPhi at
1275      the end; this fixes the adjoint balancing code for open boundaries.
1276    o pkg/ctrl:
1277      - change behavior of xx_${varname}period to be analogous to exf-conventions:
1278        xx_${varname}period =   0.,  means time-independent control part
1279        xx_${varname}period = -12., means one-year-periodic monthly control part
1280      - introduce helper routine ctrl_init_rec (part of ctrl_init.F) to
1281        clean up ctrl_init a little, remove unused variables
1282      - ctrl_init: fixed the handling of the start/endrec for obcs-variables
1283      - move "call cal_GetMonthsRec" from s/r ctrl_get_gen to s/r ctrl_get_gen_rec
1284    
1285    checkpoint62u (2011/03/15)
1286    o model/src:
1287      - for the adjoint, change NonLin-FreeSurf initialisation sequence: fill-in
1288        h0Fac from INITIALISE_FIXED and reset hFac to h0Fac in INITIALISE_VARIA ;
1289      - in initialise_varia.F (except for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL) remove 2nd call to
1290        INI_DEPTHS, INI_MASKS_ETC & INI_LINEAR_PHISURF.
1291    o pkg/ctrl/obcs/ecco:
1292      - remove obsolete, unused, and partially broken code:
1293        ctrl_obcsvol/ctrl_obcsbal/ctrl_volflux and code within
1294        ALLOW_CTRL_OBCS_BALANCE
1295      - put a stop statement into ecco/cost_obcsvol.F, but also add
1296        cost_obcsvol to ecco_ad_diff.list
1297    o pkg/ecco: fix counting cost function contributions for obcs (code
1298      by Matt M.) and diffkr for diagnostics
1299    o pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk:
1300      add cost penalty terms for initial uvel, vvel, eta controls
1301      and I/O for prior error files
1302    o pkg/mdsio:
1303       move mds_check4file.F from eesupp/src to mdsio_check4file.F ; add option
1304       (new argument) to check for tiled file in mdsioLocalDir : this fix the
1305       restart from pickup_som , pickup_dic (& dic_co2atm) with mdsioLocalDir.
1306    o pkg/ctrl:
1307     - ctrl_obcsbal.F, ctrl_obcsvol.F: replace last calls of ctrl_getrec by
1308       ctrl_get_gen_rec, put a stop statement into ctrl_getrec. Remove
1309       unused and superfluous variables
1310     - ctrl_get_gen_rec.F: catch the case of xx_genperiod=0.
1311    o pkg/ecco
1312     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
1313    o pkg/ctrl/ecco/grdchk:
1314      - remove global declaration of tmpfldx/yz and tmpfldx/yz2.
1315        Fortunately, we do not have any tests for the numerous cpp-flagged
1316        option of "obcs as control parameters" so we will never know
1317        if this is an improvement (but at least now things compile).
1318      - remove an obsolete initialization from ecco_cost_init_barfiles.F
1319      - fix some problems within never used ifdefs to make the code compile
1320    o pkg/obcs:
1321     - Refine Interior mask definition to work with more complex OB (e.g.
1322       if OB_Ie < OB_Iw); In case default setting is not sufficient, allows to
1323       read in Interior mask from file. Check if Interior mask is consistent
1324       with OB list of indices.
1325    o pkg/seaice
1326     - beginning code for a seaice tracer package,
1327       but currently only used for seaice age: SEAICE_AGE
1328       SEAICE_num = 4
1329       iTracer = 1: area-weighted ice age
1330               = 2: volume-weighted ice age
1331               = 3, 4: template for one-year vs. multi-year ice
1332       data.seaice has new namelist SEAICE_PARM03 for arrays related to
1333       SEAICE_num
1334    
1335    checkpoint62t (2011/03/05)
1336    o pkg/obcs:
1337     - obcs_apply_uv.F: change to a 2 steps method, first tangential component;
1338       then normal component. This ensures that the normal component is set
1339       correctly even when it conficts with tangential setting from an other OB.
1340       Affects results of test-experiment seaice_obcs: update the output.txt
1341    o pkg/obcs:
1342     - add code to monitor statistics of dynamical fields at OB.
1343     - take OBCS_BALANCE code out of obcs_calc.F into new S/R OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW :
1344       - fix to OBCS_BALANCE code (right hFac ; deal with simple OB intersection).
1345       - change default: balance the Net inflow through all OB (instead of balancing
1346         each OB separately); keep the old method if setting OBC_balanceFacX < 0.
1347     - switch on useOBCSbalance in dome experiment: only correct Western OB outflow
1348       to match Nortern OB inflow (OBCS_balanceFacN=0).
1349    o pkg/seaice:
1350     - redefined actual sea ice age to be ICEAGE/HEFF ifdef SEAICE_AGE_VOL
1351    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.113):
1352     - reverting seaice_growth to v 1.111 in order to have code with exact bit
1353       compatibility with MITgcm_contrib/ifenty/Fenty_seaice_thermo_code_merge
1354       CPP option SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA removed in v 1.112 is reintroduced
1355       runtime flag SEAICEareaFormula is kept but is inactive
1356    o model/src:
1357     - add new param to scale curvilinear grid distance and area when using
1358       a different sphere radius from the grid-files.
1359     - test/check multi-threads EXCH applied to local variable (cg2d_x)
1360    o adjoint:
1361     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
1362     - add dummy_in_dynamics to enable extraction of ADJrhoinsitu
1363       (a bit delicate because of potentially modified adj. common block structure;
1364       current switch is ALLOW_AUTODIFF_MONITOR_DIAG, could be changed later)
1365    
1366    checkpoint62s (2011/02/15)
1367    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.112):
1368     - introduce SEAICEareaFormula run time parameter, which selects the recipe for
1369       computing the ice cover tendency from effective thickness tendencies. Include
1370       Ian Fenty's formula.
1371     - remove 'undef SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA' which may now be achieved using
1372       SEAICEareaFormula.
1373     - simplify notations for the various d_HEFF/d_AREA terms.
1374    o pkg/gmredi:
1375     - add Boundary-Value-Problem bolus transport (Ferrari etal, OM 2010) code
1376       from Christopher Wolfe (UCSD); add partial cell factor in vertical derivative;
1377       add a verification test-run (front_relax.bvp) to test GM_useBVP.
1378    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.111):
1379     - for SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH, replace Gael's implementation with Ian's.
1380     - the new SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_MELT allows open-water air-sea heat fluxes to
1381       also melt ice.
1382    o pkg/seaice:
1383     - McPhee formula for Ice-Ocean fluxes (provided by Ian Fenty).
1384     - can be used by #define MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
1385    o pkg/cheapaml:
1386     - from Nico Wienders: New version of this package.
1387    o pkg/flt:
1388     - add CPP options to prevent floats to re-enter the opposite side of
1389       a periodic domain (default: keep periodicity)
1390    o pkg/gmredi:
1391     - apply exchange to GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY to get valid values near CS-corners
1392       (needed for multi-dim advection).
1393     - switch on GM Advective form in global_ocean.cs32x15 and update output.txt
1394    o model/src:
1395     - fix wrong re-setting of addMass array (ALLOW_ADDFLUID) for atmospheric run.
1396    o tutorial_tracer_adjsens
1397     - extend to NLFS and replace maskC by hFacC
1398       (change reference output accordingly)
1399    
1400    checkpoint62r (2011/01/24)
1401    o testreport:
1402     - add option -deloutp (-do) to remove output file after successful run
1403     - add option -mfile (-mf) for MPI machile-file and for each test-exp,
1404       extract exact list of procs from this file ; adjust COMMAND by
1405       replacing TR_MFILE & TR_NPROC with local machile-file & Nb of MPI procs.
1406    o pkg/ecco: replace old ineffective way of penalizing deviations from
1407      first guess (of obcs) with code by Matt Mazloff
1408    o pkg/ctrl: add code that allows the use of ALLOW_OBCS?_CONTROL without
1409      exf/cal
1410      - ctrl_init: fix initialisation (computation of diffrec) for obcs-ctrl
1411        and handle case of obcs?period == 0
1412        Not affected by these changes: There is still an inconsistency in
1413        the computation of start/endrec for the obcs variables for ALLOW_CAL
1414        defined (see comment by Menemenlis, 7-Mar-2003)
1415      - make S/R ctrl_get_gen_rec return something meaningful even if
1416        ALLOW_CAL is not defined
1417      - ctrl_getobcs?: simplify code so that it does not need to use
1418                       S/R exf_swapfields
1419    o testreport:
1420       allow to test MPI with different number of processors for each experiment:
1421       create file "SIZE.h.mpi" in each build dir.
1422       Note: update of "-command" argument not yet implemented.
1423    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ecco, pkg/seaice:
1424      alleviate the need for additional 3D tapes when using
1425      the non-inear free surface in the adjoint. This is done
1426      by adding an 'update' of hfacc etc. to their current
1427      value at the beginning of forward_step.F.
1428    o pkg/seaice
1429      seaice_lsr: move stress-divergence computations out of outer pseudo-
1430      timestepping loop
1431    o pkg/obcs/obcs_prescribe_read.F: move 'CALL OBCS_EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD'
1432      up, so that the calls of the ctrl_* subroutines are really at the end
1433      of the routine.
1434    o pkg/gmredi:
1435      allow to specify a 2-D horizontal map and a 1-D vertical profil
1436      as scaling factor for Isopycnal diffusivity (Redi) and GM diffusivity.
1437    o pkg/seaice:
1438      move lsr iterations from seaice_dynsolver to seaice_lsr.
1439    o pkg/seaice:
1440      reduce memory footprint of seaice mutldim advection tapes,
1441      by using a 2D tape independent of the generic_advdiff ones,
1442      and setting GAD_AREA=1 etc. rather than GAD_AREA=101 etc.
1443    
1444    checkpoint62q (2010/12/29)
1445    o model/src:
1446      - check horizontal grid-spacing for unset or zero/negative values.
1447      - change AD test hs94.1x64x5 to be truly a 2-D set-up.
1448    o pkg/flt:
1449      - use (recent) mdsio S/R MDS_READVEC_LOC instead of local FLT_MDSREADVECTOR
1450      - precision of input and output files set according to readBinaryPrec
1451        and writeBinaryPrec (previously always 64.b), pickup remains at 64 bits.
1452      - initial float position from tiled file was not converted to index space
1453        (looks like a bug): fixed to make it similar to initial pos. global file.
1454    o global_ocean.cs32x15:
1455       change SIZE.h of AD set-up to get same tiling as with MPI.
1456       Update output_adm, output_adm.thsice (pass@14) & output_adm.seaice (fail@11)
1457    o model/src:
1458       add flag to control printing of domain fields (bathymetry, hFac ...) in
1459       ini_mask_etc (call to plot_fieds_xy*).
1460    o pkg/thsice:
1461       if useEXF, some forcing fields are not valid in overlap: fixed by computing
1462       over the interior only + apply EXCH at the end (like with SEAICE advection).
1463    o pkg/mdsio:
1464      - add 2 arguments to S/R MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL/S for overlap size of buffer
1465        to copy to/from, so that it can be used to replace MDS_PASS_WH_R8toRL/RS.
1466      - change barrier call for safe multi-threads access to 3-D shared buffer.
1467      - MDS_READ/WRITEVEC_LOC use buffers from MDSIO_BUFF_3D.h (instead of local ones)
1468      - replace call to MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL with call to MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL and
1469        remove the 4 S/R MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL/S.
1470    o pkg/flt:
1471      - add fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration
1472      - add basic exch2 support (only 1 facet supported so far!)
1473    o pkg/mdsio+rw:
1474      new S/R to read local (or tile independent) vector (read counterpart of
1475       mds_writevec_loc, and front-end write_glvec_rl/rs).
1476    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input_ad.seaice experiment
1477        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
1478        (using multidim advection for seaice)
1479    o towards more F95 syntax for array specification in namelist:
1480      - change "data.diagnostics" (data.ptracers was changed before checkpoint62p)
1481        of all verification experiments.
1482           e.g.:    line: fields(1,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
1483          was changed to: fields(1:2,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
1484      - finish adding "-DNML_EXTENDED_F77" to DEFINES list in pgf77 and g77 optfiles
1485    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input.seaice experiment
1486        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
1487    
1488    checkpoint62p (2010/12/17)
1489    o pkg/thsice: rename (ad tape index) iicekey as ticekey, and move it
1490        to THSICE_SIZE.h to avoid conflict with pkg/seaice.
1491    o pkg/seaice: add seaice_diffusion.f seaice_map_thsice.f to adjoint.
1492        allow for use of multim. advection in seaice adjoint.
1493    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for snow precipitation and sublimation flux
1494      - first attempt to close budgets by taking into account the freshwater
1495        flux implied by the sublimation of snow and ice. So far only the
1496        volume budget is closed, turn on with soon-to-be-retired-again CPP-Flag
1497        SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET
1498    o eesupp/src:
1499      new S/R with new option (NML_EXTENDED_F77) to change array specification
1500      from F95 standard to commonly accepted extended F77 form.
1501      This would allow to use F95 syntax in namelist (needed with gfortran 4.4.5)
1502      and to revert back to the original syntax (with -DNML_EXTENDED_F77)
1503      for less tolerant f77 compiler (e.g., pgf77, g77).
1504    o globalFiles:
1505      commented out in parameter file "data" since it's not safe with MPI
1506      (e.g., wrong on aces); keep it if useSingleCpuIO=T (but not doing much
1507      in this case); no longer commented out in restart test (tst_2+2).
1508    o add adTapeDir to specify a special directory where adjoint tapes are
1509      written/read (adread_adwrite.F). adTapeDir is specified in data/PARM05
1510      and cannot be used together with mdsioLocalDir.
1511    o nesting pkgs:
1512      - packages_init_variables : put call to OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES in last position
1513      - update Gianmaria's Nesting pkgs (from Contrib/nesting_sannino)
1514      - add parameter files + utils dir + output from short run on beagle.
1515    o pkg/seaice:
1516        fix seaice_growth.F store directives; update results of exp. lab_sea.ad
1517    o pkg/seaice: explicitly store tsurfloc in seaice_solve4temp.F to avoid
1518      unnecessary copying in adjoint code, requires new parameter NMAX_ITER
1519    
1520    checkpoint62o (2010/11/25)
1521    o pkg/exf:
1522      - change CPP option EXF_VERBOSE to run-time logical param exf_verbose.
1523    o pkg/seaice:
1524      - seaice_ocean_stress: split a loop for better vectorization of the
1525        adjoint code
1526      - seaice_growth.F: fix bug in conservation of freshwater connected to
1527        capping of heff, put contribution into d_HEFFbyNEG
1528      - replace irritating parameters SEAICE_latentWater/Ice and SEAICE_sensHeat
1529        by something more sensible (parameters that are what their name implies)
1530      - change some defaults, so that by default exf-parameters are used for
1531        things like rhoAir, cpAir,latent/sensible heat parameters, in order
1532        to reproduce the old results, many data.seaice now contain funny values
1533        for cpAir and latent heat of sublimation
1534    o packages_readparms.F: move exf_readparms up in line so that
1535        exf-parameters are visible for other packages (e.g. seaice)
1536    o debugMode & debugLevel=2:
1537      - differentiate between debugMode & debugLevel=2:
1538        debugMode: controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
1539        debugLevel: controls printing of algorithm intermediate results and stats.
1540      - remove "if debugLevel=2 => debugMode" but keep "debugMode =>  debugLevel=2";
1541        => allows to print debug-stats without all sequence of call messages.
1542      - switch control of debug print from debugLevel to debugMode in many S/R.
1543    o pkg/obcs (obcs-sponge):
1544        fix bug that was introduced on Oct 25 (in dynamics.F v1.151): put back the
1545        call to OBCS_PRESCRIBE_EXCHANGES (need to exch gU,gV when using obcs-sponge)
1546    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1547      - record overlap minimum size for each advection scheme;
1548      - refine criteria on overlap minimum size;
1549      - check and stop (in gad_check) if overlap size is too small.
1550    o pkg/obcs:
1551      - with ptracers: remove multiple calls to obcs_apply_ptracer (only done
1552        once, in ptracers_implicit.F)
1553      - with seaice: remove test on empty file name in obcs_apply_seaice (always
1554        apply OB values when tile has OB)
1555    o model/src, coriolis setting:
1556      - integer parameter "selectCoriMap" (=0,1,2) replaces 3 logical
1557        useConstantF, useBetaPlaneF, useSphereF ; can now read coriolis from
1558        files (selectCoriMap=3) with any grid.
1559      - add parameter "fPrime" for constant second Coriolis coeff (default=0).
1560    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1561        a few cosmetic changes that reduce the number of lines of code
1562    o pkg/obcs: add boundary conditions following Stevens (1990)
1563      - the code follows old MOM/NAOSIM code
1564      - so far it is only implemented for the eastern and western boundaries
1565        and NOT for pTracers
1566    o pkg/rbcs:
1567      - replace rbcsInIter by rbcsForcingOffset, the time in seconds at the
1568        beginning of the first rbcs forcing period.
1569      - add option rbcsSingleTimeFiles that makes rbcs read forcing data like the
1570        offline package, i.e., one file per time, labeled by iteration number;
1571        deltaTrbcs sets the timestep with which the data was generated;
1572        rbcsIter0 is the forcing iteration corresponding to rbcsForcingOffset.
1573      - rbcsForcingCycle=0 makes forcing non-cyclic.
1574      - make arithmetic safe for negative times and odd forcing periods.
1575    
1576    checkpoint62n (2010/11/09)
1577    o pkg/seaice:
1578        fix masking in free-drift S/R ; update results of exp. lab_sea.fd
1579    o pkg/obcs:
1580       New S/R to copy tracer value from the OB location to narrow band region
1581        (width = same as overlap) beyond the OB: preserve OB value (needed for
1582        high-order scheme) which were overwritten by EXCH call if in overlap
1583        region. Applied to theta, salt, ptracer and advected seaice variables.
1584       With seaice: use maskInC in similar way as in gad_advection.F,
1585        in seaice_advection.F and advect.F.
1586       Update output of experiment seaice_obcs and change exp4 to test OBCS with
1587        4th order Adv.Scheme. for pasive salt and ptracer.
1588    o tools/genmake2:
1589      - when looking for an optfile (not specified), only search for Fortran compiler
1590        (remove sym-link test + setting of CPP + makedepend check + C-compiler check)
1591      - in get_fortran_c_namemangling: use "$CC $CFLAG" to compile C test programm
1592        (instead of "$MAKE genmake_test.o" since an existing Makefile can be wrong)
1593      - set default for CPP to "cpp -traditional -P" (was the case without specifying
1594        an optfile, but otherwise default was just "cpp".
1595      - comment out PLATFORM=$p_PLATFORM (no idea where p_PLATFORM comes from)
1596      - when "CC" is not set in the optfile, look for possible C compiler
1597        (instead of just setting CC=cc)
1598      - put back version v.169 modif (from 2008/02/15), was dropped in v.173 changes:
1599        => add a ".F" to ".o" rule for source files with no "#include" (such as
1600           port_rand.F); otherwise, default ignores FOPTIM and just uses FFLAGS.
1601      - move gfortran before g77 in list of possible Fortran compiler (consistent
1602        with reference compiler switch from g77 to gfortran)
1603    o pkg/seaice:
1604      o remove SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION-code, add a test to
1605        seaice_check that stops the model, when the CPP flag is used.
1606      o seaice_growth.F: make capping of ice volume conserving by returning the
1607        capped ice as freshwater to EmPmR. This does not change the verification
1608        experiments but will change runs where the capping is acutally active
1609    o change reference platform+compiler from faulks+g77 to baudelaire+gfortran
1610      (except the 2 fizhi test exp.); update output of exp.: bottom_ctrl_5x5,
1611         global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn, thsice, AD thsice), global_ocean_ebm (AD),
1612         lab_sea (fd, hb87, salt_plume), MLAdjust (3/5) and vermix (dd)
1613    o tools/genmake2:
1614      - merge genmake_warnings & genmake_errors into 1 log file: "genmake.log")
1615      - change DUMPSTATE default to false (can use "-ds" option to switch it to T)
1616      - clean previous genmake log files before anything else.
1617      - change Makefile to remove testreport log files (*.tr_log) and genmake log
1618        files only with "CLEAN" target (instead of "Clean");
1619    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1620      Change OBCS in multiDim advection (gad_advection.F):
1621       Use maskInC to prevent intermediate update of tracer-field in OB regions,
1622       thus keeping current-time-step OB values; and remove the call to OBCS_APPLY
1623       which were applying future time-step OB values.
1624      This way, all explicit calculations use current-time-step OB values
1625       (simpler and more consistent).
1626      Affects results when set-up uses time-varying OBC and multi-dim advection;
1627       update output of experiment seaice_obcs.
1628    o pkg/seaice:
1629      move OPTIONS (formerly locally defined) to SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
1630       this includes SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY (+ SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH &
1631         SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA ) and SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
1632      Default (pkg/seaice/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h) is to define SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
1633       but leave SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY undef ; For now, keep verification exp
1634       unchanged (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY defined in */code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
1635    o pkg aim (2010/10/26):
1636      - Introduce ALLOW_INSOLATION, moving toward a more general incoming solar radiation
1637        formulation with obliquity, eccentricity, ... as run-time parameters,
1638      - Introduce diagnostics for top-of-the-atmaophere incoming solar radiation and
1639        upward shortwave radition at the surface (all-sky and clear-sky).
1640    o pkg/obcs:
1641      - writing sections with globalFiles=T does not work: switch to tiled-files
1642        when writing sections for OBCS (change pkg/rw/write_rec.F accordingly).
1643      - fix index bug (OB_Ie -> OB_Iw_) in obcs_apply_uvice.F
1644      - apply OBCS_SEAICE_COMPUTE_UVICE to both uice and vice at all obcs
1645    
1646    checkpoint62m (2010/10/21)
1647    o pkg/seaice: vectorize seaice_solve4temp.F
1648      - move iterations loops outside of i/j-loops
1649      - requires 2D arrays for TB and effConduct
1650      - add 2D iceOrNot to replace HICE_ACTUAL.GT.0, as HICE_ACTUAL is
1651        modified in this routine
1652      - a little bit of clean up, adjusting indentation, etc.
1653      - replaced a few TEN**a by exp(a*log(10.)) in new code for better
1654        performance and '**TWO' by '**2' (because TWO is a float),
1655        replaced ONE, ZERO
1656    o eesupp/src:
1657       fix flow dir for exch1_z_RX_cube, exch1_uv_RX_cube & exch1_bg_RX_cube
1658    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
1659      Revision 1.89 of seaice_growth.F completes the overall october 2010 revision and
1660      merging process. The merged routine has two branches, and one activates the 'evolution'
1661      branch by setting SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY to undef (at the top of the routine for now).
1662      In summary, here is what the '10/10 revision' did consist of
1663        part 1: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.71 to 1.75
1664          - Preliminary seaice_growth.F clean-up, keeping test results strictly unchanged.
1665            The emphasis here was on improving readability (e.g. by trying to use meaningful
1666            variable names) and modularity (e.g. by adding arrays to store heff etc. updates).
1667        part 1.5:
1668          - revising the lab_sea experiment to make it a more useful (i.e. stable
1669            and representative of an actual model run). This was done by generating a
1670            (winter) pickup to start from, switching back the main experiment dynamic
1671            solver from evp to lsr, having one of the experiments use the free drift solution.
1672        part 2: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.76 to 1.85
1673          - Sorting out hard-coded constants that prevented heat and fresh water conservation.
1674          - Sorting out the various fields units and sign (set early on and reset at the end)
1675            to avoid numerous scalings/re-scalings. By v1.85 the basic unit for ice, heat and
1676            fresh water stock is 'effective ice meters', and >0 implies more ice/snow.
1677          - Using tendency terms arrays (d_HEFF* etc.) to alleviate remaining code locks,
1678            and simplifying logical expressions to further improve readibility.
1679        part 3: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.86 to 1.89
1680          - Re-organize the blocks of code more logically.
1681          - Merging the '_if.F' pieces that add something new.
1682    o pkg/thsice:
1683      - vectorize thsice_solve4temp and thsice_get_exf.
1684        Problem: thsice_solve4temp has an unvectorizable statement that
1685        might also be problematic for TAF
1686      - thsice_get_exf: add the ALLOW_BULK_LARGEYEAGER04 CPP-flag. This
1687        does not change the verifcation experiment, but will change all
1688        experiments that have this flag undefined (not tested in verification);
1689        a little reorganization to save a few 2D fields and recomputations
1690      - 1st step of revisiting thsice adjoint (major recomp. sorted out)
1691      - 2nd step:  fix some store dirs
1692        o seems to work somewhat, i.e. using ifort but not g77
1693        o likely cause are incomplete init. or recomputation
1694        o start verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input_ad.thsice
1695    o pkg/obcs: add support for exch2
1696      - the position of the boundary and prescribed values are specified using
1697        a global domain with exch2 facets stacked
1698        - in x for N,S boundaries (like W2_mapIO=-1)
1699        - in y for E,W boundaries (so E,W boundaries do not overlap)
1700    o pkg/mdsio: add support for writing global sections with exch2
1701        file layout is as for obcs described above:
1702        - for x-z sections, facets are stacked in x (like W2_mapIO=-1)
1703        - for y-z sections, facets are stacked in y
1704    o pkg/thsice:
1705       - change a few routines for better vectorization: thsice_albedo.F,
1706         thsice_step_temp.F, and in thsice_calc_thickn.F. Results are
1707         not affected, but in particular the latter routine has changed
1708         dramatically (not necessarily easier to read now).
1709       - re-arrange calculation in THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP: move outside of i,j loops
1710       iteration loop and call to S/R THSICE_GET_BULKF & THSICE_GET_EXF.
1711    o verification/lab_sea:
1712      - overhaul of the forward model experiments. The main motivation
1713        for this revision is that lab_sea has proven quite fragile (when
1714        changing the sea-ice code, and switching platforms) to a point
1715        when failures were very hard to attribute to specific code problems.
1716      - the suspected reason for this fragility is noise amplification by evp so,
1717        to start with, we decided to replace evp with lsr in the main experiment.
1718      - the input.lsr experiment thus became obsolete and was removed.
1719      - it was replaced with the input.fd experiment that uses an
1720        analytical "free drift" solution as the ice velocity field.
1721      - Taken together, input (lsr), input.fd (free drift) and input.hb87 (evp)
1722        will hopefully allow us to discriminate problems due to dynamic solvers
1723        from problems due to the thermodynamic code. input.salt_plume (lsr) allows
1724        us to test additional options, along with the salt plume package.
1725      - Finally a pickup was generated (at the end of a one year run) to
1726        make the tests more representative of an actual model run. Previously
1727        the tests starting point was a 1m thickness of ice everywhere.
1728    o pkg/seaice:
1729      - introducing S\R seaice_freedrift.F that compute the
1730        analytical solution to an approximate ice momentum
1731        equation (i.e. the simple stress/coriolis balance).
1732      - define SEAICE_ALLOW_FREEDRIFT to trigger the computation
1733        of the free drift velocity field, and enable its use.
1734        To actually use the free drift solution as the model ice
1735        velocity field set SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT to .TRUE. in data.seaice.
1736    o move "useOASIS" from PARAMS.h to EEPARAMS.h and read it from "eedata"
1737    
1738    checkpoint62l (2010/10/04)
1739    o pkg/seaice:
1740      -fix the USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version (for variable freezing point);
1741      -use "celsius2K" in SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT and in new
1742       version (with USE_ORIGINAL_SBI undef);
1743    o add hooks for new packages OASIS, the package will follow
1744      (hooks exclude the seaice pkg for now)
1745    o pkg/autodiff: ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
1746      Option to use mdsio_read_whalos.F/mdsio_write_whalos.F,
1747      rather than mdsio_readvector.F/mdsio_writevector.F, within
1748      adread_adwrite.F to read/write adjoint-related tapes to disk.
1749    o eesupp and pkg/mdsio: ALLOW_WHIO
1750      Option to write/read 2D fields to files including tiles halos.
1751      The main purpose is for adjoint related "tape I/O".
1752      The secondary purpose is for debugging phases.
1753      A word on those rather specifically intended purposes.
1754      The code was meant to be stripped down to the bare minimum.
1755      Typically, there is a unique and basic mapping to the global
1756      buffer (tile by tile, then proc by proc, then level by level), and
1757      byteswaps and meta-files are omitted. Indeed the (*_WH*) code is not
1758      meant to generate user friendly outputs of various shapes and forms.
1759      Rather it is intended, for the knowledgeabale developers,
1760      to be largely independent of the many mdsio options, to allow
1761      outputs of tiles+halos in debugging phases and in adjoint runs,
1762      and to allow some flexibility in tuning (adoint) I/O depending on each
1763      file system behavior. With regard to tuning, most of the potential knobs
1764      (to leave files open, to allocate the I/O indep. of usesinglecpuio,
1765      to specify directories, to specify the typical size of I/O calls, etc.)
1766      are not yet included, and will be added if they prove useful.
1767    o pkg/seaice:
1768       fix uninitialised arrays in USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version of seaice_solve4temp.F
1769    o pkg/seaice:
1770       new S/R seaice_solve4temp.F: this is the merged version of Ian Fenty
1771       code (seaice_budget_ice_if.F) which enable to recover old standard
1772       code (seaice_budget_ice.F) when option USE_ORIGINAL_SBI is defined.
1773       temporary: add "#define USE_ORIGINAL_SBI" at the top of seaice_solve4temp.F.
1774    o model/src (rStar):
1775       use simple average (not area weighted) of rStarFac at U,V point when using
1776       vectorInvariant and selectKEscheme=1,3 (consistent with mom. vertical advection)
1777       update output of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 and fizhi-cs-aqualev20.
