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.
