6    
7    o pkg/seaice: vectorize seaice_solve4temp.F
8      - move iterations loops outside of i/j-loops
9      - requires 2D arrays for TB and effConduct
10      - add 2D iceOrNot to replace HICE_ACTUAL.GT.0, as HICE_ACTUAL is
11        modified in this routine
12      - a little bit of clean up, adjusting indentation, etc.
13      - replaced a few TEN**a by exp(a*log(10.)) in new code for better
14        performance and '**TWO' by '**2' (because TWO is a float),
15        replaced ONE, ZERO
16    o eesupp/src:
17       fix flow dir for exch1_z_RX_cube, exch1_uv_RX_cube & exch1_bg_RX_cube
18    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
19      Revision 1.89 of seaice_growth.F completes the overall october 2010 revision and
20      merging process. The merged routine has two branches, and one activates the 'evolution'
21      branch by setting SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY to undef (at the top of the routine for now).
22      In summary, here is what the '10/10 revision' did consist of
23        part 1: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.71 to 1.75
24          - Preliminary seaice_growth.F clean-up, keeping test results strictly unchanged.
25            The emphasis here was on improving readability (e.g. by trying to use meaningful
26            variable names) and modularity (e.g. by adding arrays to store heff etc. updates).
27        part 1.5:
28          - revising the lab_sea experiment to make it a more useful (i.e. stable
29            and representative of an actual model run). This was done by generating a
30            (winter) pickup to start from, switching back the main experiment dynamic
31            solver from evp to lsr, having one of the experiments use the free drift solution.
32        part 2: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.76 to 1.85
33          - Sorting out hard-coded constants that prevented heat and fresh water conservation.
34          - Sorting out the various fields units and sign (set early on and reset at the end)
35            to avoid numerous scalings/re-scalings. By v1.85 the basic unit for ice, heat and
36            fresh water stock is 'effective ice meters', and >0 implies more ice/snow.
37          - Using tendency terms arrays (d_HEFF* etc.) to alleviate remaining code locks,
38            and simplifying logical expressions to further improve readibility.
39        part 3: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.86 to 1.89
40          - Re-organize the blocks of code more logically.
41          - Merging the '_if.F' pieces that add something new.
42    o pkg/thsice:
43      - vectorize thsice_solve4temp and thsice_get_exf.
44        Problem: thsice_solve4temp has an unvectorizable statement that
45        might also be problematic for TAF
46      - thsice_get_exf: add the ALLOW_BULK_LARGEYEAGER04 CPP-flag. This
47        does not change the verifcation experiment, but will change all
48        experiments that have this flag undefined (not tested in verification);
49        a little reorganization to save a few 2D fields and recomputations
50      - 1st step of revisiting thsice adjoint (major recomp. sorted out)
51      - 2nd step:  fix some store dirs
52        o seems to work somewhat, i.e. using ifort but not g77
53        o likely cause are incomplete init. or recomputation
54        o start verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input_ad.thsice
55    o pkg/obcs: add support for exch2
56      - the position of the boundary and prescribed values are specified using
57        a global domain with exch2 facets stacked
58        - in x for N,S boundaries (like W2_mapIO=-1)
59        - in y for E,W boundaries (so E,W boundaries do not overlap)
60    o pkg/mdsio: add support for writing global sections with exch2
61        file layout is as for obcs described above:
62        - for x-z sections, facets are stacked in x (like W2_mapIO=-1)
63        - for y-z sections, facets are stacked in y
64    o pkg/thsice:
65       - change a few routines for better vectorization: thsice_albedo.F,
66         thsice_step_temp.F, and in thsice_calc_thickn.F. Results are
67         not affected, but in particular the latter routine has changed
68         dramatically (not necessarily easier to read now).
69       - re-arrange calculation in THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP: move outside of i,j loops
70       iteration loop and call to S/R THSICE_GET_BULKF & THSICE_GET_EXF.
71    o verification/lab_sea:
72      - overhaul of the forward model experiments. The main motivation
73        for this revision is that lab_sea has proven quite fragile (when
74        changing the sea-ice code, and switching platforms) to a point
75        when failures were very hard to attribute to specific code problems.
76      - the suspected reason for this fragility is noise amplification by evp so,
77        to start with, we decided to replace evp with lsr in the main experiment.
78      - the input.lsr experiment thus became obsolete and was removed.
79      - it was replaced with the input.fd experiment that uses an
80        analytical "free drift" solution as the ice velocity field.
81      - Taken together, input (lsr), input.fd (free drift) and input.hb87 (evp)
82        will hopefully allow us to discriminate problems due to dynamic solvers
83        from problems due to the thermodynamic code. input.salt_plume (lsr) allows
84        us to test additional options, along with the salt plume package.
85      - Finally a pickup was generated (at the end of a one year run) to
86        make the tests more representative of an actual model run. Previously
87        the tests starting point was a 1m thickness of ice everywhere.
88    o pkg/seaice:
89      - introducing S\R seaice_freedrift.F that compute the
90        analytical solution to an approximate ice momentum
91        equation (i.e. the simple stress/coriolis balance).
92      - define SEAICE_ALLOW_FREEDRIFT to trigger the computation
93        of the free drift velocity field, and enable its use.
94        To actually use the free drift solution as the model ice
95        velocity field set SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT to .TRUE. in data.seaice.
96    o move "useOASIS" from PARAMS.h to EEPARAMS.h and read it from "eedata"
97    
98    checkpoint62l (2010/10/04)
99    o pkg/seaice:
100      -fix the USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version (for variable freezing point);
101      -use "celsius2K" in SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT and in new
102       version (with USE_ORIGINAL_SBI undef);
103    o add hooks for new packages OASIS, the package will follow
104      (hooks exclude the seaice pkg for now)
105    o pkg/autodiff: ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
106      Option to use mdsio_read_whalos.F/mdsio_write_whalos.F,
107      rather than mdsio_readvector.F/mdsio_writevector.F, within
108      adread_adwrite.F to read/write adjoint-related tapes to disk.
109    o eesupp and pkg/mdsio: ALLOW_WHIO
110      Option to write/read 2D fields to files including tiles halos.
111      The main purpose is for adjoint related "tape I/O".
112      The secondary purpose is for debugging phases.
113      A word on those rather specifically intended purposes.
114      The code was meant to be stripped down to the bare minimum.
115      Typically, there is a unique and basic mapping to the global
116      buffer (tile by tile, then proc by proc, then level by level), and
117      byteswaps and meta-files are omitted. Indeed the (*_WH*) code is not
118      meant to generate user friendly outputs of various shapes and forms.
119      Rather it is intended, for the knowledgeabale developers,
120      to be largely independent of the many mdsio options, to allow
121      outputs of tiles+halos in debugging phases and in adjoint runs,
122      and to allow some flexibility in tuning (adoint) I/O depending on each
123      file system behavior. With regard to tuning, most of the potential knobs
124      (to leave files open, to allocate the I/O indep. of usesinglecpuio,
125      to specify directories, to specify the typical size of I/O calls, etc.)
126      are not yet included, and will be added if they prove useful.
127    o pkg/seaice:
128       fix uninitialised arrays in USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version of seaice_solve4temp.F
129    o pkg/seaice:
130       new S/R seaice_solve4temp.F: this is the merged version of Ian Fenty
131       code (seaice_budget_ice_if.F) which enable to recover old standard
132       code (seaice_budget_ice.F) when option USE_ORIGINAL_SBI is defined.
133       temporary: add "#define USE_ORIGINAL_SBI" at the top of seaice_solve4temp.F.
134    o model/src (rStar):
135       use simple average (not area weighted) of rStarFac at U,V point when using
136       vectorInvariant and selectKEscheme=1,3 (consistent with mom. vertical advection)
137       update output of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 and fizhi-cs-aqualev20.
138    
139    checkpoint62k (2010/09/17)

169    o pkg/cfc: bug fix, AREA(i,j,1,bi,bj) -> AREA(i,j,bi,bj)
170    o pkg/dic:
171      - model/src/impldiff.F: if TARGET_NEC_SX, extend loop ranges for better
172        vectorization
173      - small bug fix in insol for the unlikely case of a cartesian grid
174      - towards vectorizing the dic package: bio_export.F, car_flux.F, phos_flux.F
175        + now vectorize, which also removes adjoint recomputations;
176        + replace integer maksp1 by _RL maskp1
