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