4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/seaice
8      - move definition of MPSEUDOTIMESTEPS into TAMC-block in
9        SEAICE_SIZE.h
10      - add a store directive in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
11    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
12      - fix definition of Hlimit for multi-threaded case
13      - use double precision arithmetic to compute Hlimit: this affects results;
14        update output of experiment seaice_itd.
15    o replace content of verification/seaice_itd
16      - instead of a 1D column use the configuration of offline_exf_seaice
17        to test the ice thickness distribution code with ridging
18      - this is a first shot at this experiment
19      - change of some defaults of ridging parameters SEAICEhStar (from
20        100 to 25) and SEAICEmuRidging (from 5 to 3) in seaice_readparms.F
21        and lot of new comments.
22    
23    checkpoint64y (2014/06/20)
24    o pkg/seaice/seaice_reg_ridge.F:
25      - modify the regularization of very small volumes of ice; only check
26        total volume HEFF, and do not apply correction to individual ice
27        classes because that leads to funny patterns in the heat and fw-fluxes
28        into the ocean. Adjust seaice_itd/results/output.txt
29      - replace nITD by SEAICE_multDim in loop-ranges
30    o pkg/exf:
31      - add code to process the case field period = -12. with UV interpolation.
32      - move debug print (formerly active when exf_verbose=T) from EXF_getFFieldRec
33        into S/R that calls it (i.e., exf_set_gen.F, exf_set_uv.F & obcs_exf_load.F)
34    o verification/global_with_exf:
35      - switch all fields period to -12. (was previously untested) in input/data.exf
36        (but keep secondary test ".yearly" unchanged); update the reference output.
37    o pkg/cal:
38      - new calendar type "noLeapYear" for 365 days calendar without any leap year.
39    o pkg/exf:
40      - new integer parameter "exf_debugLev" (default set to main model debugLevel)
41        to replace logical switch "exf_verbose"
42      - report in STDOUT when loading a new record (if exf_debugLev >= 3)
43    o pkg/sbo:
44      - update from Katherine Quinn: evaluate mass directly from density and SSH
45        (budget using Finite Volume method) instead of from bottom pressure.
46      - allow testreport to collect few selected SBO output ; tested in exp.
47        global_ocean.90x40x15 (after updating the results, to include SBO output).
48      - fix some multi-threading issues (in output part).
49    o model/src & most packages:
50      - always call {PKG}_READPARMS even if corresponding use{PKG}=F;
51      - in {PKG}_READPARMS, in case use{PKG}=F: add a call to new S/R
52        PACKAGES_UNUSED_MSG to print a weak warning when parameter file
53        "data.{pkg}" exist ; and leave the S/R (return) just after.
54      - more standard LAND pkg interface (land_init_fixed.F, land_check.F).
55        + call LAND_READPARMS from packages_readparms.F
56    o pkg/seaice:
57      - remove code that resets useThSice in S/R seaice_readparms and
58        replace it by a warning in S/R seaice_check
59      - remove parameter MULTDIM, replace with nITD and runtime
60        parameter SEAICE_multDim (still hard-wired to nITD if
61        SEAICE_ITD is defined)
62    
63    checkpoint64x (2014/05/24)
64    o verification/lab_sea:
65      - update adjoint and TLM output following changes to pkg/salt_plume
66      - un-do the update after putting back local recip_Cp in few places.
67    o pkg/salt_plume: modifications by An Nguyen:
68      - add capability to do brine rejection (salt-plume) as function of
69        volume+tracers (instead of only salinity tracer).
70      - conserve volume by exchanging volume from each kLev to above to
71        accommodate in-coming brine volume
72      - store surface and klev exchanged fraction + volume in 4 new 3-d arrays
73      - switch KPP surf buoyancy due to brine forcing to 3-d
74        (3 more 3-d arrays, 2 for SPforcing[T,S], 1 for boplume)
75      - add salt_plume_volfrac, salt_plume_apply, salt_plume_tendency_apply_t
76      - unrelatedly, also add ad-hoc capability to vary salt_plume scheme
77        in East/West Arctic.
78    o pkg/sbo:
79      - incorporate modifications from Katherine Quinn to enable the use of sbo
80        pkg in ECCO-v4 set-up ; remove SBO-TimeAve output ; add monitor-like
81        output for future testreport verification (unfinished).
82    o pkg/atm_phys:
83      - change diagnostics (AtPh_Trf & AtPh_Qrf) of DARGAN_BETTSMILLER S/R:
84        skip the reseting of t_ref & q_ref to initial t & q ; this preserve the
85        output of S/R CAPECALCNEW (Parcel temp & q) for diagnostics.
86    o pkg/seaice
87      seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: modify expression to avoid divisions
88        (affects truncation)
89      seaice_do_ridging.F: clean up the insectarium
90      - fix a bug that was compensated by areaScaling (-> remove areaScaling code)
91      - added SEAICEsnowFracRidge to redistributed snow (2nd bug)
92      - set closing/openingRate to zero where no extra iteration is need (3rd bug)
93      - add some debugging information and error messages (warnings)
94    o model/src: modifications relatd to atmosphere p*:
95      - Switch to more accurate p* coordinate slope term (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F)
96      - With p* or Sigma-P, use constant reference Pot.Temp (thetaConst) instead
97        of vertical profile tRef in geopotential background and anomaly.
98      - Acount for true p* correction in theta <-> T conversion in pkg/aim_v23
99        and pkg/atm_phys.
100      - Update FWD output of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
101        fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, tutorial_held_suarez_cs, cpl_aim+ocn.
102    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in seaice_prepare_ridging.F, forgot a sqrt
103    o pkg/ptracers: compute ptracer source/sink due to linear free surface.
104        not used right now, but can be used in BGC packages to fix conservation.
105    o pkg/dic, pkg/gchem: move tracer_meanarea to gchem, so it can be used by
106        other packages too.
107    o pkg/seaice/seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: replace SEAICE_rhoSnow by
108        SEAICE_rhoIce in the Rothrock (1975)-type strength calculations (bug fix)
109    o model/src:
110      - since we have several heat capacity (even in model/src), define "recip_Cp"
111        as local variable (no longer in common block) to avoid any confusion.
112      - add thetaConst in PARAMS.h (to be used with pStar or sigma-P coords).
113    o pkg/exf:
114      - from Jeff Scott: add option (#define EXF_CALC_ATMRHO) to calculate local
115        air density as function of air Temp, Humidity and atm pressure.
116    
117    checkpoint64w (2014/05/02)
118    o verification:
119      - update output_adm.txt files for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15 (seaice &
120        seaice_dynmix) and lab_sea (primary test & noseaicedyn): moving/changing
121        code from seaice_growth.F & seaice_advdiff.F to new ridging routines
122        seaice_reg_ridge.F seaice_do_ridging.F affects AD gradient
123        (down to 8-7 matching digits for global_ocean and 5-6 for lab_sea).
124    o model/src: for atmosphere in p* coords:
125      - store factor rStarFacC**atm_kappa (= pStarFacK) in common block
126      - implement more accurate p* coordinate slope term (in calc_grad_phi_hyd.F),
127        but not yet activated.
128    o pkg/seaice: fix restart problem for ITD with new ice strength parameterisation:
129      - move computation of opnWtrFrac = 1-AREA to before computing ice strength
130      - this changes the results (but not for any verification experiment, because
131        none tests this), but avoids having an extra field in the restart files
132    o pkg/seaice: remove global variable TICE (not needed)
133      - replace by TICES or local variable where necessary (cost_seaice_test,
134        seaice_diagnostics_state)
135      - move copying TICE to TICES from seaice_check_pickup to seaice_read_pickup
136      - use specific read/write routines for reading and writing individual leves
137        of a multilevel field
138    o pkg/ctrl & model/inc:
139      - move additional anomaly fields of control vars (related to options:
140         ALLOW_KAPGM_CONTROL, ALLOW_KAPREDI_CONTROL and ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL)
141        from DYNVARS.h into new header file: CTRL_FIELDS.h
142    o pkg/seaice: some small modifications to the ridging code
143      - make fw2ObyRidge a global variable and add the freshwater flux to
144        seaice_growth
145      - pass actual thickness from seaice_prepare_ridging, so that it is
146        computed only in one place and compute it in the same way as in
147        seaice_growth
148      - initialise more fields in seaice_do_ridging that where cause floating
149        point exceptions over land
150    o pkg/seaice: preparations for ridging code and first real ridging code
151      - move most of "PART 1" of S/R seaice_growth into a new and separate
152        S/R seaice_reg_ridge that will both regularize the state variable after
153        advection call the actual ridging routine;
154      - requires to make 5 fields global fields: d_HEFFbyNEG,d_HSNWbyNEG,
155        d_AREAbyRLX,d_HEFFbyRLX,saltFluxAdjust;
156      - remove ridging code from seaice_advdiff
157      - clean up remaining part 1 of seaice_growth in an attempt to make it
158        more readable (this is probably subjective)
159      - call seaice_itd_redist once in the initialisation phase to have the initial
160        conditions in the correct category
161      - finally: add new ridging routine for ITD code
162    
163    checkpoint64v (2014/04/11)
164    o pkg/ecco:
165      - add runtime parameters mdt[start,end]date[1,2]
166      - rename variable "tpmean" as "mdt" and "topexmeanfile" as "mdtdatfile"
167    o pkg/seaice:
168      - make deltaC a global variable, so that it can be used in ridging code
169      - first step towards ridging: introduce new routines that compute
170        ice strength based on ridging parameters
171      - add diagnostic for HSNOWITD
172      - add opnWtrFrac as a global variable (required for ridging scheme)
173    o pkg/salt_plume + pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
174      - add SALT_PLUME_IN_LEADS flag to activate pkg/salt_plume only when ice
175        AREA exceeds a threshold (code contributed by I.Fenty in 2011)
176    o verification/hs94.1x64x5:
177      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undefined in code_oad/AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h
178      - do not use ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h anymore for TAF & OpenAD Adjoint tests.
179    o autodiff:
180      - Start to include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h,
181        and CTRL_OPTIONS.h in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h)
182        For now, only in pkgs used in verification/hs94.1x64x5.
183      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for tape/storage
184        which are specific to TAF/TAMC).
185      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD by ALLOW_OPENAD:
186        since ALLOW_OPENAD is defined in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h (any time pkg/openad
187        is compiled), this simplifies/reduces which *_OPTIONS.h file to include.
188      - OpenAD: change Makefile to generate the appropriate AD_CONFIG.h when
189        building mitgcmuv_ad (make adAll).
190    o pkg/ecco:
191      - cost_gencost_seaicev4.F:
192         reformulate proxy cost as function of sst and local param SEAICE_freeze
193         change cost names from siv4-[sst,vol] to siv4-[deconc,exconc]
194      - add stop statement if old names siv4-[sst,vol] are used
195      - add snapshots + cost reports for atmospheric longwave
196      - remove factor 0.1 in front of wtau[u,v]
197      - replace never used flag ALLOW_TMI_COST_CONTRIBUTION with
198         ALLOW_TMI_SST_COST_CONTRIBUTION
199    o pkg/atm_phys:
200      - add some diagnostics for Short-wave and for convection S/R.
201    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth:
202      - fix a bug in the lateral melt parameterization for SEAICE_ITD
203        in seaice_growth; tempFrz needs to be computed inside the i/j-loop
204      - rearrange loop order for better vector code in the same code block
205      - rewrite the floeDiameter formula to have fewer divisions
206      -  (miraculously) none of this changes the results of seaice_itd
207    o pkg/smooth:
208      - move param smooth2Ddiffnbt to pkg/ecco
209    o pkg/salt_plume:
210      - salt_plume_frac.F:
211         clean up local param names
212         reformulate (1-frac) to frac; original 1-frac was based on swfrac code
213    o pkg/rw:
214      - add RS version of S/R READ_MFLDS_LEV.
215    o pkg/streamice:
216      - fix the restart test by writing/reading pickup_streamice files.
217    o pkg/seaice:
218      - refine checks for jfnk-related parameters
219      - comment out if statement with SEAICEuseIMEX parameter as long as there
220        is no IMEX code to avoid confusion and surprises
221    
222    checkpoint64u (2014/03/07)
223    o verification/MLAdjust:
224      - rename secondary test suffix:
225         1.leith  -> A4FlxF  + switch to flux-form & add side-drag
226         0.leithD -> AhFlxF  + switch to flux-form
227         0.smag   -> AhVrDv  (use Vorticity-Div. visc form) + add side-drag
228         0.leith  -> AhStTn  (use Strain-Tension visc form) + add side-drag
229    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
230      - remove unused arguments from S/R MOM_VI_HDISSIP & MOM_HDISSIP (as it used
231        to be before mom_calc_visc.F)
232      - skip the call to MOM_CALC_TENSION & MOM_CALC_STRAIN if not needed.
233      - add 2nd copy of vort3 & strain that knows about lateral BC (free/no slip):
234        this is simpler for the adjoint and for diagnostics.
235    o model/src + pkg/momentum:
236      - add input files for  2-D additional Western and Southern cell-edge wall
237         (e.g., to add "thin-wall" where it is =1).
238      - fix sideDrag option for thin-walls with Non-Lin Free-Surf
239        using 2nd hFacZ that is computed from initial (fix domain) hFac
240      - known limitations of thin wall implementation: not yet coded for sigma
241        coords; not working with CD-scheme neither.
242    o pkg/seaice:
243      - rename recently introduced parameters from (wrong name) AB to
244        BDF (backward difference time discretisation)
245      - retire runtime parameters SEAICEuseAB2, SEAICE_abEps
246    o tools/adjoint_options:
247      - remove setting of "OPENAD=true" (now set by command line "genmake2 -oad")
248    
249    checkpoint64t (2014/02/01)
250    o pkg/ecco
251      - add compile flag ALLOW_GENCOST_TIMEVARY_WEIGHT in ECCO_OPTIONS.h and
252        runtime logical flag gencost_timevaryweight to read daily sea-ice sigma
253      - replace hard-coded record number and period which only work for monthly
254        with read-in runtime param that works for other periods (month,day,year)
255    o pkg/thsice
256      - corrected store directive fixes thsice adjoint gradient checks
257    o genmake2 & testreport:
258      - add genmake2 option "-oad" to generate a Makefile for OpenAD built and
259        in this case, use tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad as default AD optfile.
260        Update testreport accordingly. No need to set "export OPENAD=true"
261        in adjoint_options/adjoint_oad anymore (will be removed later).
262    o pkg/shelfice:
263      - put T & S shelfice forcing into model surfaceForcing_T,_S (for now,
264        only if SHELFICEboundaryLayer=F); Change model/src/external_forcing.F
265        so that surface forcing applies to k=kSurf if using pkg/shelfice.
266    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk, pkg/ecco:
267      - Changes to make GENARR more modular (i.e. invisible if not used)
268    o model/src/temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F
269      - re-include store directives that were removed on Dec 27th.
270    o model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
271      - add storage directives for EmPmR and PmEpR to avoid recomputation of
272        seaice_model in the adjoint that is problematic when seaice_model is
273        turned off in the adjoint. The resolved issue dated back to July when
274        EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF call was moved.
275        Update global_ocean.cs32x15/*/output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt accordingly.
276    o pkg/exf/exf_check.F
277      - fix a small bug again (originally found by Wentao Liu, now found again)
278      - streamline error output
279    o pkg/streamice and aim_v23:
280      - replace a few "_EXCH_XY_RL (" with "_EXCH_XY_RL(", so that
281        Apple's /usr/bin/cpp knows what to do:
282        Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
283        Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
284    
285    checkpoint64s (2014/01/05)
286    o tools/adjoint_options:
287      - switch to fastopt.net TAF server (instead of default fastopt.de) for
288        AD optfiles adjoint_diva & adjoint_f95 (similar to adjoint_default).
289    o model/src:
290      - remove some unnecessary TAF storage directives in forward_step.F and
291        in dynamics.F (note: not always removed by TAF, e.g., double storage
292        of kappaRU,kappaRV in former version of dynamics.F).
293    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
294      - call directly GAD_IMPLICIT_R & IMPLDIFF + DWNSLP_APPLY from temp_integrate.F
295        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (instead of from thermodynamics.F)
296        and remove ptracers_dwnslp_apply.F & ptracers_implicit.F
297      - call MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP for each tracer (in ptracers_integrate.F)
298      - add fZon & fMer as output argument of S/R GAD_CALC_RHS.
299      - update TAF AD-output of experiments global_ocean.90x40x15 (13 for AD-grad).
300    o useSingleCpuInput separates single-CPU input from single-CPU output;
301        for now only implemented for in exf_interp_read.F
302    o verification/advect_xy:
303      - fix missing EXCH call in local version of ini_salt.F and update output.
304    o momentum diagnostics:
305      - fix which deltaT is used in Total-Tendency diagnostics.
306      - fix typo in diagnostics for momentum tendency from AB.
307    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: fix an initialisation bug for the
308        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA option that lead to NaNs on a NEC-SX8
309    
310    checkpoint64r (2013/12/08)
311    o verification/*/results:
312      - Update reference output of experiments that were passing with just 13 digits
313         (make it easier to detect future changes in results)
314    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
315      - move calls to GAD_ADVECTION (Multi-Dim advection) from thermodynamics.F to
316        inside temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F and from ptracers_advection.F
317        to inside ptracers_integrate.F ; remove ptracers_advection.F
318    o coupling interface pkgs:
319        [atm_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf & atm_ocn_coupler]
320      - change the config check to test the agreement of Ocean Depth
321        with ATM land/sea mask (instead of ATM orography);
322      - send to coupler the number of coupler time-steps to do for this run:
323        this allows to check for consistency and don't need anymore to be
324        specified in parameter file "data";
325      in coupler:
326      - check consistency of RunOff map versus Ocean Depth and ATM land/sea mask.
327      - improve report to log-file of config setting (pass log-file unit to few S/R)
328    o pkg/compon_communic:
329      - add coupling send/receive for non-tiled integer vector;
330      - add S/R to check and stop if any proc has an error (similar to
331        eesupp/src/stop_if_error.F but single thread and across Comm_World).
332    o pkg/exch2:
333      - in exch2*_get_rx[1,2]: use new list "W2_tileIndex" to replace search
334        through list of all tiles my proc owns.
335    o model/src:
336      - AUTODIFF only: in calc_adv_flow.F, recompute rTransKp (instead of copying
337        from rTrans) to simplify dependencies (no need to store rTrans anymore in
338        calling S/R); this affects AD results at machine truncation level:
339        update AD-output (TAF) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
340        bottom_ctrl_5x5 & obcs_ctrl (12 digits for AD grad, same FWD grad).
341    o tools/build_options:
342      - simplify Warnings options (-ieee & -devel cases) in linux_amd64_gfortran
343    o coupling interface pkgs:
344        [compon_communic, atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf]
345      - move declaration of local array "ibuf" out of header file "CPLR_SIG.h"
346        to each S/R that needs it; remove un-used variables.
347      - change component tile registration (cpl_register.F in both compon_interf
348        and mitcomponent_tile_register.F) to pass the full list of tiles
349        information (including bi,bj) in 1 vector (instead of in a bi,bj matrix).
350      - with pkg/exch2: adopt the same convention used for I/O to define mapping
351        towards coupler global array (unless W2_useE2ioLayOut=F):
352         a) can now use different tiling between atm & ocn comp.
353         b) no needs to modify the run-Off map when changing tiling (was needed
354            even if using the same tiling between atm & ocn).
355         c) will allow to run with blank-tiles in 1 component (e.g., for ocean
356            full land tiles); not yet tested.
357      - check for valid mapping from comp. tile to coupler global array
358      - improve report of tile registration results to log file.
359    o pkg/exch2:
360      - in eesupp/src/eeboot.F: move call to W2_EEBOOT before Coupler
361        tile-registration (CPL_REGISTER);
362      - activate (un-comment) definition and setting of "W2_tileIndex" list to
363        store the local bi,bj indices of each tile;
364      - also print bi,bj in local report to log file;
365      - fix pkg/debug/debug_cs_corner_uv.F for the case nSy > 1 (left from
366        Jun 2009 modif of pkg/exch2).
367    o testing on baudelaire:
368      - run 2 tests at a time: no significant slow down (since enough cpu) and
369        get the full set of test done earlier
370      - switch the ifort test to "-devel" ; run the OpenAD test everyday.
371    o model/src/thermodynamics.F and routines called from it:
372      - pkg/gmredi: gmredi_residual_flow.F (replacing gmredi_calc_uvflow.F &
373        gmredi_calc_wflow.F) to update eulerian velocity (input) into residual
374        velocity (outp) by adding bolus velocity.
375      - model/src: calc_adv_flow.F (replacing calc_common_factors.F) to compute
376        mass transport from velocity + lateral grid cell area
377      - rename calc_gt.F to temp_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
378      - rename calc_gs.F to salt_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
379     in thermodynamics.F
380      - remove k from thermodynamics.F and move it to temp_integrate.F
381        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (now done inside the tracer
382        loop).
383      - compute locally (in thermodynamics.F) 3-D velocity field that is used to
384        advect tracers; pass it as argument to GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
385        PTRACERS_ADVECTION, TEMP_INTEGRATE, SALT_INTEGRATE, PTRACERS_INTEGRATE,
386        GAD_IMPLICIT_R and PTRACERS_IMPLICIT
387      - update AD-output (TAF & OAD) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
388        global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and
389        tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ TLM output).
390    o tools/OAD_support and (verification/*/) code_oad:
391      - OAD_support/cb2mGetModules.csh: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in header file to
392        module conversion ; remove unneeded CPP_EEOPTIONS.h.
393      - code_oad/CPP_OPTIONS.h: remove PACKAGES_CONFIG.h and use a more standard
394        version (closer to model/inc/CPP_OPTIONS.h).
395    o model/src:
396      - remove parameter "useOldFreezing" from PARAMS.h and push it to the
397        retired list of parameters (routine FREEZE has been replace by surface
398        freezing (10.yrs ago) and by pkg/frazil (interior freezing).
399    o pkg/gmredi:
400      - add option (GM_CALC_TRANSP_FROM_VEL) to compute transport directly from
401        velocity (same scheme but affects machine truncation) for GM_AdvForm.
402      - update output of FWD experiments: front_relax.bvp,
403        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp, global_ocean.cs32x15 and ideal_2D_oce.
404    
405    checkpoint64q (2013/11/17)
406    o verification:
407      - generate new output on baudelaire (gfortran, -ieee) for OpenAD experiments
408        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and global_ocean.90x40x15.
409      - generate new output (growth & melt) for seaice_itd experiment after
410        updating the input pickup_seaice files (previously wrong).
411    o pkg/cost:
412      - define a "final cost function" for each tile, and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
413        (instead of _GLOBAL_SUM_RL) to get the final cost from all procs & threads:
414        o this fixes global-sum value if multi-threads (since GLOBAL_SUM_RL
415          cannot be applied to var in common block).
416        o allows to get results independent of tile-per-proc setting (if using
417          slower GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV option).
418      - update accordingly: seaice_cost_final.F, shelfice_cost_final.F,
419        thsice_cost_final.F and ecco_cost_final.F (this one affects lab_sea
420        forward gradients: update output).
421      - update */code_oad/externalDummies.F by adding dummy GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
422        S/R and, for most exp., also comment out GLOBAL_SUM_R8.
423    o pkg/mom_common:
424      - move to pkg/mom_common and model/src (previously in tutorial_deep_convection
425        code) 2nd version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code interface: strain and
426        viscosity are locally declared in dynmics.F and pass as argument to CALC_GW;
427        ensure that all field value that are used are set.
428    o tutorial_deep_convection (smag3d):
429      - add missing scaling in mom_calc_smag_3d.F;
430      - set smag3D_coeff in input.smag3d such that results do not change.
431    o pkg/dic:
432      - change dic_cost.F to compute cost on each tile first and then apply
433        GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL: this affects forward gradient of AD experiments
434        tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo; update output.
435      - remove kLev argument and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL in tracer_meanarea.
436    o eesupp/src & pkg/mdsio:
437      - remove gather/scatter_vector.F (from eesupp) and mdsio_read/writevector.F
438        (from pkg/mdsio) since they are no longer used for tape IO.
439      - move simple C subroutine "setdir.c" from pkg/compon_communic to eesupp/src
440        (+ keep a copy in pkg/atm_ocn_coupler).
441    o verification/isomip:
442      - split domain in 8 squared tiles (instead of just 2) for FWD, AD & OAD tests.
443    o tools/build_options:
444      - optfile linux_amd64_ifort11, fast (no ieee) case:
445        to get a working restart for all experiments, add "-fp-model source"
446        to FOPTIM (also remove "-opt-streaming-stores auto" <- this is the default).
447    
448    checkpoint64p (2013/10/20)
449    o pkg/autodiff:
450      - adread_adwrite.F: when type and length do not match ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
451        criteria, return to simple (default) tape IO format.
452    o pkg/mdsio (+ eesupp/src):
453      - rewrite/simplify tape-IO S/R (new S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_TAPE replace
454        previous MDSREAD/WRITEVECTOR) with 2 array argument from each type (R4/R8);
455      - fix globalFile and singleCpuIO options using simpler global mapping.
456      - new pairs of scatter/gather vector S/R (one for each type, generated from
457        template) corresponding to simpler global mapping.
458      - adread_write.F: switch to new S/R (but leave old calls commented) and write
459        to globalFile when parameter globalFiles is set to True.
460      - switch on useSingleCpuIO in AD experiments: global_ocean.90x40x15 & isomip.
461    o pkg/autodiff:
462      - adread_adwrite.F: add a hack for RS arrays (when RS=real*4);
463        with ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO defined, since corresponding (real*4) is
464        missing, just add a STOP if array type do not match.
465    o pkg/exf:
466      - to allow to use seaice-fraction from pkg/exf in other pkgs than pkg/seaice:
467         rename CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX to EXF_SEAICE_FRACTION
468         and rename array obsSIce to exf_iceFraction.
469    o tutorial_deep_convection:
470      - add 1rst version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code (from Louis-Philippe),
471        for now all in this exp. code dir.
472      - add secondary test using Smag-3D viscosity (keep very low backgroud visc for
473        testing) and flux-limter advection scheme for Temp. (no explicit diffusion).
474    o eesupp/src:
475      - added SINGLE_DISK_IO option because reading of parameter files on
476        very large number of processors did not work with existing set-up
477    
478    checkpoint64o (2013/09/25)
479    o pkg/atm_phys & atm_compon_interf:
480      - allows for coupling of gray-atmosphere (atm_phys) with ocean.
481    o tools/build_options:
482      - switch from "-fPIC" to "-mcmodel=medium" in optfiles: linux_amd64_gfortran
483        & linux_amd64_ifort11 and in linux_amd64_g77 & linux_amd64_open64 also
484        remove CPP setting (was identical to genmake2 default).
485    o pkg/gmredi & model/src: Some updating and work done on the residual model.
486      - created new file model/src/calc_eddy_stress.F to calculate the eddy stress.
487      - fixed up the calculation of the eddy stress and how it is added to the
488        external forcing via taueddy_external_forcing.F
489      - at the moment, it is very experimental and only works with the variable eddy
490        diffusivity calculated in gmredi_k3d.F
491    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: add a check to catch the case of specifying
492        lw/swfluxfile instead of lw/swdownfile in data.exf together with pkg/seaice
493    o testreport (& tools/do_tst_2+2):
494      - for MPI test, set default COMMAND to 'mpirun -v -np TR_NPROC ./{executable}'
495    o tools/build_options: linux_amd64_gfortran & linux_amd64_ifort11:
496      - remove CPP='cpp -traditional -P' (this is genmake2 default)
497      - add switch (for big setups) to use 'medium' memory-model (but leave it
498        commented out for now). Note: needed with FC 19 to compile big setups.
499    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
500      - regroup per field origin (model & pkgs) the coupling storage routines
501         (which accumalate in time each coupling field)
502      - move bi,bj loops inside atm_store_my_data.F and store also wind-stress;
503        update accordingly + simplify aim_do_physics.F
504    
505    checkpoint64n (2013/08/26)
506    o pkg/bbl:
507      - update formulation to reduce dispersion of tracer properties in bbl
508      - replaced horizontal and vertical transport parameters with velocities
509      - changes results for verification/global_with_exf.yearly
510    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
511      - change to matrix construction; update both Fwd & AD output.
512    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
513      - OpenAD test: switch to vector-invariant momentum since fluxform with
514        rStar causes problems with OpenAD; update output.
515    o tools:
516      - genmake2: define a common prefix for all temp-file names ; move them
517        to local /tmp disk (but would be easy to move them back);
518      - xmakedepend: apply the same switch for temp-files.
519    o pkg/offline:
520      - changes for use with rStar (NLFS): assume that we continue to provide
521        UVELMASS/hFacW_ini & VVELMASS/hFacS_ini (hFacWi,S_ini as written in grid
522        output files) and apply r* scaling at each time-step (function of the time
523        varying Eta field); use normal pickup files (needed for restart with NLFS).
524    o adjoint with OpenAD:
525      - move OpenAD-specific files from verification/OpenAD/code_oad_all to a new
526        package openad.  This package has to be compiled for all runs with OpenAD
527        instead of specifying code_oad_all as a modification directory.
528      - link the fortran templates from tools/OAD_support to the build directory
529        for preprocessing to avoid conflicts between different setups compiled
530        simultaneously and simplify cleanup.
531    o pkg/exf:
532      - in exf_getforcing.F: comment out most of the EXCH calls (fields used by
533        main model or other pkgs are exchanged in EXF_MAPFIELDS).
534    o model/src:
535      - do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F: skip EXCH calls when using pkg/offline
536        (similar to do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F).
537    o tools/genmake2:
538      - remove TAF output src code just before calling staf (when not doing a fresh
539        built, will stop if things go wrong with staf).
540      - fix target "adobj" (left from TAF version-2 transition)
541    o pkg/diagnostics:
542      - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;
543        this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check
544        when adding diag to the list) to also check any DIAGNOSTICS_[]FILL* call.
545        New S/R to print error message and stop when pkgStatus is not right.
546      - to try: add a warning when "data.diagnostics" exist but useDiagnostics=F.
547    
548    checkpoint64m (2013/08/13)
549    o model/inc:
550      - move FCORI_MACROS.h from PARAMS(_MACROS).h to GRID_MACROS.h (left from
551        8 yrs ago modif when Coriolis arrays were moved from PARAMS.h to GRID.h)
552    o pkg/kpp & aim_v23:
553      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
554    o pkg/seaice:
555      - restore (last time on 2011/12/24) ability to compile pkg/seaice with
556        undefined pkg/exf ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_RUNOFF CPP-options.
557      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
558    o eesupp/src:
559      - fix check for overlap-size argument (myOLn.GT.MAX_OLY_EXCH)
560        in exch1_rx[_ad].template (thanks to Francois Lefeuvre report).
561    o switch to TAF version-2:
562      - add flow directives to "freeze" naming convention for ad-routines that
563        are used in I/O routines of adjoint state and associated common blocks
564        that are used in adcommon.h (backward compatible with version-1)
565      - update all ad-optfiles (in tools/adjoint_options + few local to some
566        verification exp) to switch to latest TAF version (currently 2.5.5);
567        merge "*_mpi" adoptfiles into the corresponding non-mpi (but commented
568        out except for diva).
569      - the major change with TAF version-2 is that both the differentiated
570        routines and the forward routines (new) are returned as part of the TAF
571        output source code. Update genmake2 accordingly.
572      - new output for AD experiment tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (better AD gradient
573        with version-2 when compared to TLM or FWD gradient); other experiments
574        output show minor changes (machine truncation level); update the few AD &
575        TLM output with 12 matching digits only (some prior to version-2 switch).
576    
577    checkpoint64l (2013/08/05)
578    o model/src:
579      - in dynamics.F, skip the call to CALC_VISCOSITY if momViscosity=F
580      - main_do_loop.F: no longer includes additional (AUTODIFF) header files
581        when using TAF but only if using OpenAD.
582    o pkg/mom_common+fluxform+vecinv:
583      - always set horiz. viscosity arrays to background value before calling
584        MOM_CALC_VISC (in MOM_FLUXFORM & MOM_VECINV) and call S/R MOM_CALC_VISC
585        only when using variable horiz. viscosity (useVariableVisc=T);
586      - simplify mom_vecinv.F (only 1 block for momViscosity).
587    o pkg/mom_common: variable horiz. viscosity in NH code
588      - move horiz-viscosity 3-D arrays viscAh_W & viscA4_W (used in calc_gw.F)
589        from model/inc/NH_VARS.h to pkg/mom_common/MOM_VISC.h
590      - store in common block (in MOM_VISC.h) logical parameters: useHarmonicVisc,
591        useBiharmonicVisc & useVariableVisc.
592      - fix old bug (already in 1rst implementation of variable horizontal viscosity
593        in calc_gw.F, version 1.27, 2006/06/20):
594        horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity in gW was missing when wiscA4W=0
595        even if variable bi-harmonic viscosity (e.g., viscA4Grid) was non-zero.
596      - change background horiz viscosity in vertical momentum (gW) to always be
597        viscAhW,viscA4W (instead of switching to viscAhD, viscA4D when using
598        any type of variable viscosity, e.g., viscAh/4Grid)
599      - change default value of viscAhW,viscA4W to viscAhD,viscA4D (instead of
600        viscAh,viscA4) which default to viscAh,viscA4 :  this avoid missing
601        horiz. viscosity in W eq when just setting viscAhD/Z,viscA4D/Z (since
602        default viscAh,viscA4 is zero).
603    o model/src:
604      - extend length of drC & recip_drC from Nr to Nr+1.
605    o Divided Adjoint (DIVA) with MPI:
606      - genmake2: do not create local ./mpi_headers dir when no file to copy into.
607      - remove option ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT_MPI (replaced by ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT
608        and ALLOW_USE_MPI) from model/src code and from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h.
609    
610    checkpoint64k (2013/07/23)
611    o tools/OAD_support:
612      - avoid the need for file "oadtempflile" in insertTemplateDir.bash
613        and remove it from genmake2.
614    o tools/build_options:
615      - remove MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC setting (no longer used) and comment out
616        MPI_HEADER_FILES list (let genmake2 find the missing headers)
617    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
618      - change to driving stress formulation; update both Fwd & AD output.
619    o tools/genmake2 and Divided Adjoint with MPI:
620      - remove default setting of MPIINCLUDEDIR from $MPIHOME (always been broken);
621      - only create local ./mpi_headers dir if using MPI and MPIINCLUDEDIR is set;
622      - add new variable (LOCAL_MPI_HEADERS, replace MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC) in
623        Makefile, which is set by genmake2, and check which mpi-headers are needed.
624        Note: need to update adjoint_options/adjoint_diva_mpi accordingly.
625      - update target "CLEAN" (to also remove ./mpi_headers/ dir).
626    o testreport:
627      - changes for Divided Adjoint Run: when file "run_ADM_DIVA" is present,
628        perform additional runs (number of additional runs is "add_DIVA_runs" taken
629        from file run_ADM_DIVA ; should match "nchklev_3" in file "code_ad/tamc.h").
630    o verification/lab_sea (AD test):
631      - change to test Divided Adjoint Run in this set-up (both standard AD test
632        and 2 secondary AD test: noseaice + noseaicedyn); drop the evp AD test.
633    o pkg atm_ & ocn_compon_interf:
634      - remove cpl_earlyExpImpCall=F option (was mainly a hack added for the old
635        staggerTimeStep implementation) and disable (retired) corresponding
636        parameter.
637    o pkg/offline:
638      - comment out unused field-array: ICEM, ConvectCount, hflx[01], icem[01];
639      - add S/R OFFLINE_CHECK to print offline parameter summary
640        and stop if loading a file that is not used;
641      - enable to calculate GMRedi tensor, KPP mixing and convective index
642        when the corresponding file(s) is/are not specified (but pkg is used).
643      - comment out resetting of monitorFreq (to endTime) since it still useful
644        for monitoring CFL numbers and checking offline fields.
645    o OpenAD:
646      - do not define OAD_DEBUG (in tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad) to get
647        smaller standard output) and generate new (smaller) output (on baudelaire
648        using gfortran with -ieee) for exp. tutorial_tracer_adjsens
649    o model/src:
650      - call EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF outside bi,bj loops (in do_oceanic_phys.F),
651        (where external_forcing_adjust was called) and change list of arguments;
652      - merge external_forcing_adjust.F into external_forcing_surf.F
653      - put surface relaxation of SST & SSS in new S/R (forcing_surf_relax.F)
654        which also contains balancing surface relaxation (ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX,
655        previously in file "balance_relax.F", now removed); remove corresponding
656        arrays in FFIELDS.h.
657      - EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF is now called when using pkg/offline; implement
658        a hack for getting back surfaceForcingS (loaded from file) when using
659        ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (pkg/dic, in DIC_OPTIONS.h) in offline set-up.
660      - update output of AD test experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix
661        (was getting only 11 digits for AD-grad, due to different truncation
662         error in AD code).
663    
664    checkpoint64j (2013/07/04)
665    o pkg/offline:
666      - to enable the use of other features with pkg offline (e.g., obcs),
667        also call S/R DO_OCEANIC_PHYS in offline run - more modifs to come.
668      - comment out "allowFreezing" (now active) in 2 offline testing exp.
669    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
670      - fix sign and make compatible with temp_EvPrRn .NE. UNSET_RL
671      - ahdded RUNOFTEMP test to verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
672      - changes verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/results/output.seaice.txt
673    o pkg/atm_phys:
674      - allows to add some damping on uVel,vVel (strength only function of k).
675    o verification, ad-tests:
676      - reduce length of the simulation for AD test: global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice,
677        global_ocean_ebm and offline_exf_seaice.thsice.
678    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
679      - found a bug in s/r pkg/streamice/streamice_advect_thickness which caused
680        flux input boundary conditions to be ignored; a fix for this bug changed
681        verification results for forward test.
682      - add adjoint test.
683    o pkg/ptracers:
684      - allow to restart without SOM pickup (resetting SOM to zero).
685    o pkg/gmredi:
686      - New parameterisation for the calculation of K and (GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY) added.
687      - It uses mixing length theory and suppression by steering level effects to
688        calculate a diffusivity used in the Redi tensor (see Bates et al., submitted
689        to JPO, for more details).
690      - It also uses the diffusivity to calculate an eddy induced streamfunction
691        based on a PV closure (rather than a buoyancy closure as in GM).
692      - New files added to pkg/gmredi:
693        gmredi_k3d.F calculates the diffusivity for the Redi tensor and the eddy
694          induced overturning streamfunction (called from gmredi_calc_tensor)
695        gmredi_calc_eigs.F calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors required
696          for use in gmredi_k3d
697        gmredi_calc_urms.F calculates the the rms eddy velocity used to calculate
698          the eddy diffusivity
699    
700    checkpoint64i (2013/06/18)
701    o pkg/cheapaml:
702      - take src files from MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/offline_cheapaml/code
703        that enable the use of seaice (pkg/thsice thermo & pkg/seaice dynamics)
704        with pkg/cheapaml.
705    o utils/python: add subpackage for cubed sphere function, first example is
706        simple cs.pcol to plot 2D fields on a map
707    o pkg/streamice:
708      - This is a new package in MITgcm, which solves dynamic equations for ice
709         sheets and ice streams
710      - At the moment it is independent of atmosphere/ocean dynamics, or any
711        other physical packages in MITgcm, even ShelfIce (although it is anticipat-
712        ed that this will change)
713      - There is a new verification exercise that tests it, halfpipe_streamice,
714        evolves a 40x80 km ice stream/ice shelf (at coarse resolution) in a
715        rectangular embayment
716      - halfpipe_streamice is forward-only for now, will have TAF test soon
717      - for questions, email dgoldber@mit.edu
718    o pkg/thsice:
719      - fix filling of snow-precip diagnostic (SIsnwPrc) (left from the removing
720        of snowPrc from common bloc, on May 2nd, thsice_step_fwd.F revision 1.40);
721      - remove diagnostics 'SI_FrcFx' ( now identical to 'SI_Fract' with new
722         call sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect );
723      - allow precip from pkg/cheapaml to make snow over seaice.
724    o pkg/cfc:
725      - move in separated header file (CFC_ATMOS.h) time-serie arrays of Atmos CFC
726      - remove atmos CFC 2-D arrays from common bloc (now local variables)
727      - change some hard-coded constant to run time parameter for reading and
728        and interpolating atmospheric CFC ; keep same default as previously.
729      - more flexible reading of Atmos CFC (number of records no longer hard-coded)
730      - put arguments in standard order: myTime, myIter, myThid
731      - use standard S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL for time interpolation of
732        atmospheric CFC ; fix for the case myIter < PTRACERS_iter0.
733      - fix calculation of surf tendencys for partial-cell and/or Non-Lin Free-Surf
734      - new routine to print summary of CFC params and check for consistency.
735    o pkg/seaice: add uice/vice to the parameter list of s/r seaice_advdiff,
736      similar to thsice_advdiff.
737      Note that for the B-grid case the routine parameters uc/vc are overwritten.
738    o pkg/cfc:
739      - change time interpolation for atmospheric CFC-11 (now same as for CFC-12);
740        update output (CFC-11) of experiment cfc_example and tutorial_cfc_offline.
741      - fix interpolation of atmphspheric CFC between Sorthern and Northern
742        hemisphere value.
743    o pkg/seaice:
744      - allow to use seaice dynamics without pkg/exf (e.g., using pkg/cheapaml)
745    o pkg/seaice: add Adams-Bashforth2 time discretization for ice dynamics;
746                  so far only for JFNK-solver, turn on with SEAICEuseAB2 = .TRUE.
747      - requires an additional time level that is stored in the pickup
748      - you can start with AB2 from a pickup without this time level with
749        pickupStrictlyMatch = .false.
750    
751    checkpoint64h (2013/05/26)
752    o pkg/cheapaml:
753      - replace one ()**.5 with SQRT + use temp var "cdu = tau/Du" (coare3_flux);
754        affect machine truncation (but exp cheapAML_box still pass with 13 digits).
755      - consistent treatment of uWind,vWind location: assume everywhere in
756        pkg/cheapaml that they are on C-grid (@ uVel,vVel location)
757        (Note: was already the case for Tair,Qair advection);
758        add option (INCONSISTENT_WIND_LOCATION) to recover old results.
759      - compute diabatic forcing only in the interior (excluding overlap regions)
760      - fill in array "Qsw" (for short-wave heating);
761      - add diagnostic for precip ; fill-in diagnostics for cheapAML state vars
762        before any update (consistent with MITgcm state var diagnostics);
763      - cheapaml_fields_load.F & cheapaml_init_varia.F : only fill outer edges if
764        non periodic ; + adjusted for uWind,vWind (C-grid).
765    o pkg/seaice:
766      - remove dependence of pkg/seaice versus pkg/exf (file: pkg/pkg_depend) and
767        add explicitly pkg/exf in experiments that currently use pkg/seaice.
768      - allows to compile pkg/seaice without pkg/exf.
769    o tools/OAD_support:
770      - use a local copy (ourRWCPinBd) to ensure index ourRWCP stays within bounds
771        of array "ourStepOf" in function rvNextAction (revolve.F90).
772    o pkg/aim_compon_interf renamed to pkg/atm_compon_interf
773      - change pkg name (to be used with other atmospheric physics pkg)
774        but by-pass CVS when making the new pkg so that we keep the CVS history.
775    o pkg/offline:
776      - call OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD from pkg/offline/offline_init_varia.F
777        (previously called from pkg/dic_surfforcing_init.F)
778    o model/src:
779      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_init_variables.F, using
780        standard order, except for:
781         DIAGNOSTICS_INIT_VARIA and OFFLINE_INIT_VARIA (called @ the top),
782         CTRL_MAP_INI and OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES (called @ the bottom)
783    o new pkg: atm_phys
784      - add entry point and source code (previously in contrib
785          verification_other/atm_gray/code_gray/) for new pkg "atm_phys"
786        (atmospheric physics pkg from P. O'Gorman and T. Schneider, JCl, 2008).
787      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_readparms.F,
788         packages_init_fixed.F and packages_write_pickup.F
789        (but skip packages_init_variables.F because of TAF issues).
790      - update contrib/*/atm_gray/ experiment.
791    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
792      - simplify and fix the writing of pickup-files for ITD case
793    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
794      - introduce floe size dependent lateral melt for ITD case;
795      - cleaning (avoid division by zero, change to f77 syntax, remove tabs)
796      - update seaice_itd experiment main output.
797    o pkg/thsice:
798      - remove snowPrc from common block THSICE_FLUX, in THSICE_VARS.h and
799        declared it locally (without bi,bj) in thsice_main.F & aim_do_physics.F;
800        changed accordingly pkg/atm2d.
801    
802    checkpoint64g (2013/05/01)
803    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
804      - if defined,  river and glacier runoff temperature can be read-in from
805        runoftempfile; runoftempfile needs to have same format as runofffile
806    o pkg/thsice (& pkg/bulk_force):
807      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
808        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap (like with pkg/exf).
809      - change computation domain to always be the interior (without overlap).
810      - fix bug (wrong overlap) when using EXF and stressReduction > 0.
811    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
812      - add preliminary OpenAD setup (still has problems)
813    o pkg/seaice:
814      - turn some parameters for choosing the convergence criterion of
815        the inexact Newton method (JFNK) into runtime parameters for convenience
816      - clean up seaice_calc_viscosities.F: remove/retire two options for
817        SEAICetaZmethod (1,2), introduce area weighting for method 3; this changes
818        the results of lab_sea/input because a division has been replaced by
819        a multiplication with the reciprocal (sumNorm)
820      - modify offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk/data.seaice to improve
821        convergence of solver (changes results, of course), and to test some
822        new features
823    o model/src:
824      - remove unused (since Aug 2006) S/R SET_WRITE_GLOBAL_PICKUP and its call.
825      - remove unused forcing field "dQdT" and associated parameter "dQdTFile".
826      - move forcing adjustment (balancing surface forcing) in specific S/R
827        where might also be applied exchanges (if needed) to forcing arrays.
828    o pkg/shelfice:
829      - allow to specify the Ice-Shelf mass per unit area (instead of
830        shelficeLoadAnomaly) and do the conversion from one to the other
831      - move loading from file of shelficeLoadAnomaly from SHELFICE_INIT_VARIA
832        to SHELFICE_INIT_FIXED: (a) avoid some TAF recompution issues and
833        (b) will be loaded in time (before calling INI_PRESSURE) in case it is
834        needed in phi0surf for initial pressure calculation when useDynP_inEos_Zc
835      - update isomip experiment forward output (get machine truncation error
836        from conversion shelficeLoadAnomaly -> shelficeMass -> shelficeLoadAnomaly)
837    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
838      revise data.seaice in input.thermo and input_ad and update results accordingly
839        HO = 0.2, SEAICE_areaLossFormula = 2,
840        SEAICE_growMeltByConv = .TRUE.,
841        SEAICE_doOpenWaterMelt = .TRUE.,
842      Improve consistency with input.thsice and fix the spurious 500m ice corners
843    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
844      - set Energy Reference Level to liq. water @ 0 degC: temp_EvPrRn=0.,
845        in icedyn (thsice+seaice-dyn) test and update output.
846    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
847      - adjust list of tested variables (with testreport) and update
848        standard test output with better slection of monitored fields.
849    o pkg/cd_code:
850      - swtich off Adams-Bashforth on the 1rst iteration. Update output of
851        experiment lab_sea.hb87
852    o tools/genmake2:
853      - change default makedepend from the system default to tools/xmakedepend:
854        When no makedepend is specified, select tools/xmakedepend it the test pass,
855        otherwise select the system default (if exist and pass the test) or
856        try to build cyrus-makedepend ; stop if none of the 3 works.
857    o pkg/exf & pkg/thsice:
858      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
859        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap. Assumes:
860       1) Rain has same temp as Air.
861       2) Snow has no heat capacity (consistent with seaice & thsice pkgs)
862       3) Run-Off comes at the temp of surface water (with same Cp)
863       4) Evap over ocean is released to the Atmos @ surf-temp (=SST); should be
864        put directly into Latent Heat flux & should use water-vapor heat capacity.
865       5) Evap over snow/seaice (pkg/thsice) assumes constant Lf+Lv (consistent
866        with snow having no Cp) => water vapor is released to Atmos @ 0^oC (=ERL).
867    o pkg/seaice: simplify the use of CPP flags in JFNK-related files
868        (compile when SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK is defined)
869    o pkg/thsice:
870      - fix oceanic flux diagnostics & timeave (left from new sequence of calls
871        implementation): move THSICE_AVE call after the advection (called directly
872        from thsice_do_advect.F).
873    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 and OpenAD:
874      New experiment for OpenAD is identical to the one in input_ad except that
875        multiDimAdvection=.FALSE.,
876      There is still an issue with this.
877    o pkg/thsice:
878      - account for ice velocity (ocean relative velocity) in turbulent heat flux
879        at the base of the ice; update output of global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn)
880        and offline_exf_seaice (main test).
881    
882    checkpoint64f (2013/03/31)
883    o verification/OpenAD:
884      - new (smaller, without OAD_DEBUG) output_oadm.txt generated using gfortran.
885    o verification/isomip, pkg/shelfice and OpenAD:
886      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make shelfice package work with OpenAD
887    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
888      - update AD and TLM output after turning off ALLOW_FE (in DIC_OPTIONS.h)
889    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
890      - replace adjoint experiment (now similar to fwd input.thermo/ setup).
891    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens, pkg/ptracers and OpenAD:
892      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make ptracers package work with OpenAD
893    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F:
894       mask the asymmetric contribution of the ice-ocean stress (when
895       the turningAngle is non-zero) over open water to avoid stripes
896       in the EVP-solutions after many EVP-substeps. This does not change
897       the verification experiment (because turningAngle=0 in that experiment),
898       but will affect other EVP solutions with turningAngle.ne.0
899    o verification, AD & TLM output:
900      - new TAF version 2.3.10 (previously 2.3.8) add more parenthesis in multiple
901        additions and multiplications which affect results at machine truncation
902        level. Update few AD output (1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5,
903        lab_sea.noseaicedyn & offline_exf_seaice) and TLM output
904        (1D_ocean_ice_column & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.som81) which had only 12
905        digits of matching.
906    o pkg/seaice:
907       modify lsr-algorithm so that it vectorizes AND converges by using a
908       "zebra" method: split vector loop into two with step size 2; this
909       solves a general convergence problem for the JFNK solver on a vector
910       computer. It has the potential to even improve convergence for
911       non-vector machines, but it does change the results so it is turned
912       off by default. To turn on define CPP-flags SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and
913       SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
914    
915    checkpoint64e (2013/03/05)
916    o pkg/ecco and several verification experiments:
917       Remove special versions of the_model_main.F, the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F
918       from ecco package, and revert to unified routine in model/src/
919       Adjust verification experiments accordingly, especially gloal_oce_llc90
920       Should conclude long-standing work by Gael to reconsile the_main_loop with
921       ECCO and will enable OpenAD's revolve loop in ECCO setup.
922    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
923      - implement compressible flow method for multi-dim advection (similar to
924        gad_som_advect.F); add new option "GAD_MULTIDIM_COMPRESSIBLE" (since
925        TAF generates many recomputations) to use it; no yet coded with implicit
926        vertical advection.
927      - change experiment advect_cs (new output) and advect_xy (same output)
928        to test compressible flow multi-dim advection.
929    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
930      - fix SOM advection for unusual cases (linear Free-Surf in r*, other
931        cases where linear Free-Surf is not @ k=1, e.g., useShelfIce)
932    o pkg/seaice:
933      - fix bug in the no-slip implementation in seaice_calc_strainrates.F, this
934        bug affects two verification experiments (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87),
935        recover old (wrong) results by setting noSlipFac = 2. in
936        seaice_calc_strainrates.F;
937      - add another averaging method for etaZ (etaZmethod=3), a mix of 2 and 0
938      - add runtime parameter SEAICE_JFNKepsilon for that finite difference
939        gradient in the Jacobian times vector operation (s/r seaice_jacvec)
940      - fix line search in seaice_jfnk.F (s/r seaice_jfnk_update)
941    o pkg/seaice: reorganize seaice_lsr.F to be able to reuse more code:
942      - new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
943      - introduce loop bounds i/jmin/max to be able to use a restricted
944        additive Schwarz method, but not used for now.
945      - rename SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS into SEAICE_LSR_CALC_COEFFS
946      - use new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v in s/r seaice_preconditioner
947    o OpenAD support
948       Reorganize S/R call for overall time-stepping loop to facilitate
949       OpenAD revolve loop replacement
950       (new S/R main_do_loop.F)
951    o model/src:
952      - add 3-D array 3rd dimension to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2/3;
953      - pkg/cheapaml: remove local S/R ADAMS2d and use instead standard S/R
954        ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
955    o pkg/cheapaml:
956      - add new parameter (default=F, same as before) to disable full domain
957        (including land) periodicity in X & Y dir.
958      - new S/R CHEAPAML_COPY_EDGES to copy relaxation field into edges of
959        prognostics field ; merge the 2 S/R cycle_2d_tracer and timestep_2d_tracer
960        into single S/R CHEAPAML_TIMESTEP.
961    
962    checkpoint64d (2013/02/17)
963    o pkg/monitor (angular momentum):
964      - do not add Eta contribution to the total AM if using rigid-lid;
965      - correct for Adams-Bashforth in zonal-wind part (instead of in AM_eta).
966      - horizontal discretisation: compute Zonal wind contribution separately for
967        each component (instead of from cell centered averaged) and use the 4
968        grid-cell corner averaged value of Omega*(R*cos_Phi)^2 in AM_eta part.
969      - Check that AM is conserved with linear dynamics (momAdvection=F and linear
970        FreeSurf) if using vectorInvariant momentum.
971    o model/src (horizontal grid):
972      - move initialisation of all horizontal grid arrays to null value
973        from specific horizontal grid S/R to main S/R INI_GRID;
974      - add 2 new arrays to project model C-grid velocity on to zonal direction
975        (similar to AngleCosC & -AngleSinC but at U and V point location) and
976        compute them in S/R CALC_GRID_ANGLES.
977    o pkg/seaice: replace a hard coded parameter by a runtime parameter
978        SEAICE_JFNK_tolIter
979    o pkg/seaice: introduce a restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) method in
980        preconditioner for JFNK (run LSR into the overlaps as far as possible,
981        i.e OLx/y-2, but overwrite the solution in the overlaps)
982      - extend loop range in seaice_calc_viscosity
983      - add new parameters SEAICE_OLx/y (default = OLx/y-2)
984      - add flexible loop ranges to seaice_preconditioner, seaice_calc_lsr_coeffs
985      - slightly modify loops in tridiagonal solver lsr-preconditioner
986      - by default remove the extra exchange in seaice_preconditioner with a
987        replacement of an undocumented CPP flag by SEAICE_PRECOND_EXTRA_EXCHANGE
988      - modify offline_exf_seaice so that old results without RAS are reproduced
989        for output.dyn_jfnk.txt
990      in seaice_fgmres.F (unrelated to RAS)
991      - add a cpp-flag option for a re-ordered mapping (potentially more
992        efficient), but because this changes the results, turn it off by
993        default
994      - replace the save statement by local common blocks
995    o utils/matlab:
996      - fix tile-offset in rdmnc.m when output was produced using EXCH2.
997      - update cs_grid/bk_line scripts to use load_grid.m (in utils/matlab)
998        instead of local script "load_cs.m".
999    o pkg/seaice:
1000      - fix a serious bug in seaice_fgmres.F, s/r seaice_scalprod, connected
1001        to the scalarProductMetric and the unrolling. By chance this does not
1002        change the verification experiment, because of the particular domain
1003        decomposition
1004    o pkg/diagnostics:
1005      - change default missing_value from UNSET_RL to -999.
1006    o pkg/layers: improve vectorization of layers_fluxcalc.F
1007      - step 1: split loops, make TatU/V 2D arrays. This alone reduces the cpu
1008        time spent in this routine by more than a factor of 3 on an NEC-SX8
1009      - step 2: replace search algorithm by a bisection algorithm found in
1010        Press et al. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This algorithm can be
1011        vectorized and finds the correct bin in approx. log2(Nlayers) steps.
1012        For now, use this algorithm only for TARGET_NEC_SX defined.
1013      - moved the search algorithm into a separate subroutine, that is kept
1014        within the same file for automatic inlining.
1015      - modified catching potential errors
1016    o pkg/ecco:
1017      - add compile switches ALLOW_SHALLOW_ALTIMETRY and ALLOW_HIGHLAT_ALTIMETRY.
1018    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk :
1019      - modifications for ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1020      -- forward_step.F, the_main_loop.F : pass options and arrays for adjoint tapes.
1021      -- load_fields_driver.F : add call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D( myTime, myIter, myThid )
1022      -- add xx_gentim2d0/1 in ctrl_ad_check_lev1_dir.h checkpoint_lev1_directives.h etc
1023      -- use ctrl_swapffields.F (new) instead of exf_SwapFFields.F in ctrl_get_gen.F
1024    o model/src:
1025      - account for moist thermodynamics in (dry) potential temperature equation;
1026        update results of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs (std + aqualev)
1027        and cpl_aim+ocn.
1028      - also switch to standard compiler (gfortran, was using ifort previously)
1029        for fizhi-cs experiments reference output.
1030    o pkg/ctrl:
1031      - 1st step toward generic time-varying control variable (2D) via CPP option
1032        ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1033      - note new namelist ctrl_nml_genarr in data.ctrl
1034    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
1035      - switch off OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE (both forward and AD code) to use new
1036        thsice calling sequence and update "output.icedyn.txt" output file.
1037    o pkg/ptracers:
1038      - from Ryan A.: code to allow to restart a tracer at regular time interval
1039        specifying a reset frequency and a reset-phase (for each tracers).
1040    o pkg/thsice:
1041      - implement new sequence of calls for thsice+seaice:
1042          previously:   ice-Dyn,ice-Advect,ice-Thermo(thsice)
1043          new sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect
1044      - allows (with temporary CPP option "#define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE"
1045        in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to recover old sequence;
1046      - update diagnostics for Intermediate State thsice diagnostics: now filled
1047        just before advection (instead of just after advection in old sequence);
1048      - update output of experiment offline_exf_seaice (standard test);
1049      - in global_ocean.cs32x15 exp., postpone output.icedyn.txt update
1050        by setting #define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE in CPP_OPTIONS.h
1051    o pkg/aim_v23:
1052      - use tiled array for aim_CO2 and surface wind speed for export to coupler;
1053      - use standard pkg/mdsio routines to read & write CO2 pickup file;
1054      - in-line S/R AIM_AIM2DYN_EXCHANGES in aim_do_physics.F;
1055      - Implement new sequence of calls for seaice advection (with thsice and
1056        seaice diffusion): do ice advection after ice-Thermodynamic (previously
1057        was done before); change aim_do_physics.F (split the bi,bj loops block);
1058      - use same CPP option (OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE) to recover old sequence;
1059    o pkg/thsice:
1060      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
1061        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
1062    
1063    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
1064    o pkg/seaice:
1065      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
1066        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
1067      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
1068      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
1069        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
1070      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
1071        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
1072        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
1073        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
1074    o pkg/mdsio:
1075      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
1076        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
1077        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
1078        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
1079    o pkg/exf & thsice:
1080      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
1081        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
1082    o verification/cfc_example:
1083      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
1084        illustrate how to use it).
1085    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1086      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
1087        files to only one time-record.
1088      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
1089        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
1090        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
1091        surf-current=0.2m/s.
1092      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
1093        initial conditions).
1094    o verification/cfc_example:
1095      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
1096        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
1097        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
1098    o pkg/layers:
1099      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
1100      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
1101    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1102      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
1103        anywhere else).
1104    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1105      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
1106      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
1107    o model/src:
1108      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
1109        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
1110    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
1111      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
1112        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
1113        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
1114        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
1115        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
1116        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
1117        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
1118      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
1119        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
1120        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
1121        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
1122        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
1123        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
1124    o pkg/cheapaml:
1125      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
1126    o pkg/seaice:
1127      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
1128        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
1129    o model/src:
1130      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
1131        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
1132        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
1133    o pkg/cheapaml:
1134      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
1135        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
1136      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
1137        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
1138      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
1139      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
1140        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
1141    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
1142      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
1143    o pkg/seaice:
1144      - remove legacy branch code.
1145      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
1146    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
1147      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
1148        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
1149    o pkg/cheapaml:
1150      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
1151        to load new forcing fields.
1152      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
1153      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
1154        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
1155    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1156      - add thermodynamics only test.
1157    o verification/cheapAML_box:
1158      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
1159        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
1160      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
1161        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
1162    
1163    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
1164    o pkg/cheapaml:
1165      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
1166      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
1167        and fix the AB-2 restart.
1168    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
1169      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
1170      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
1171      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
1172      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
1173    o pkg/seaice:
1174      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
1175        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
1176        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
1177        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
1178    o model/src:
1179      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
1180        (in case of a poor convergence).
1181    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
1182      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
1183        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
1184        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
1185        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
1186      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
1187        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
1188        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
1189        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
1190    o verification/seaice_obcs:
1191      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
1192        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
1193    o model/src:
1194      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
1195    o pkg/seaice:
1196      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
1197        cleaning up the code
1198      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
1199        second argument
1200      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
1201        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
1202      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
1203    o pkg/aim_v23:
1204      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
1205    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
1206      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
1207        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
1208        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
1209            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
1210      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
1211        default: not compiled and not used.
1212    o pkg/seaice:
1213      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
1214        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
1215        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
1216      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
1217      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
1218      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
1219    o verification:
1220      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
1221        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
1222        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
1223        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
1224        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
1225      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
1226    o pkg/exf:
1227      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
1228    o verification:
1229      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
1230        to test pkg/cheapaml.
1231    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
1232      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
1233    o pkg/seaice:
1234      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
1235      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
1236    o eesupp/src:
1237       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
1238    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
1239       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
1240         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
1241       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
1242         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
1243         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
1244         undocumented ifdefs
1245       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
1246    o tools/genmake2:
1247      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
1248        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
1249    
1250    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
1251    o pkg/autodiff:
1252      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
1253        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
1254        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
1255        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
1256        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
1257    o pkg/obcs:
1258      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
1259        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
1260    o pkg/seaice:
1261      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
1262        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
1263      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
1264    o pkg/aim_v23:
1265      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
1266    o pkg/shap_filt:
1267      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
1268        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
1269    o model/src:
1270      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
1271        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
1272      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
1273        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
1274        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
1275        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
1276    o pkg/seaice:
1277      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
1278        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
1279        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
1280        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
1281        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
1282      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
1283      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
1284        + introduce global field etaZ
1285        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
1286          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
1287        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
1288          seaice_preconditioner
1289      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
1290      - seaice_preconditioner:
1291        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
1292        + adjust printing of residuals
1293      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
1294        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
1295          seaice_init_fixed.F)
1296        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
1297        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
1298          interval to STDOUT
1299      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
1300        some operations
1301      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
1302        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
1303        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
1304      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
1305        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
1306    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
1307      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
1308      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
1309    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
1310    o pkg/autodiff
1311      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
1312        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
1313        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
1314    o pkg/seaice
1315      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
1316        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
1317        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
1318        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
1319        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
1320        code is not complete yet!!
1321      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
1322    o verification (using seaice):
1323      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
1324        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
1325      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
1326      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
1327        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
1328    o pkg/exf:
1329      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
1330        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
1331        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
1332    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1333      - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
1334        this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
1335    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1336      - remove ALLOW_LAYERS_OUTPUT ; fix snap-shot and time-ave output ;
1337      - snap-shot extended to all type of layers (not just the 1rst type);
1338      - remove layers variables when corresponding CPP option is undef.
1339    o pkg/layers:
1340      - rename pkg/layers variable and add new output (layer exist & un-weighted
1341        velocity in layer)
1342    o pkg/seaice:
1343      - simplify (?) ocean-drag coefficent computations by using
1344        the same routine in all three solvers (saves some code lines)
1345      - remove global fields DRAGA and DRAGS from C-grid code and
1346        declare them locally in lsr.F (the only place where they are
1347        still used)
1348      - update AD output of lab_sea.evp (very sensitive anyway).
1349    o pkg/seaice: add Jacobian-free Newton Krylov solver for ice dynamics
1350      (Lemieux et al. 2010, 2012). Turn on with the usual SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK
1351      and SEAICEuseJFNK=.true. A few things to note:
1352      - involves a FGMRES, that is parallel but very inefficient,
1353        because of many scalar products (global sums) in the Gram-Schmidt
1354        orthogonalization method. Needs to be replaced. Original code
1355        from J.-F. Lemieux
1356      - preconditioner for FGMRES is a stripped down version of LSOR
1357      - SOLV_MAX_ITERS is now used for LSOR as a solver and as a
1358        preconditioner. For the preconditioner, the default is set to 10.
1359      - Jacobian times vector is computed with finite differences
1360      - marginally related to JFNK-solver: add a smooth regularization for
1361        zeta with tanh that will improve convergence (Lemieux and Tremblay,
1362        2009) for any implicit solver (not implemented for EVP because EVP
1363        does not need this regularization in the first place). Define
1364        SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to use.
1365    o eesupp/src:
1366      - check in genmake2 that intrinsic S/R flush is available.
1367      - add S/R to flush IO unit (if intrinsic S/R flush is available)
1368      - flush standard & error msg unit before MPI termination
1369      - if debugMode, flush IO unit after printing msg
1370    o pkg/ctrl:
1371      - ctrl_unpack.F, ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL code: fix missing argument in call
1372        to ctrl_set_unpack_xyz.
1373    
1374    checkpoint64 (2012/10/09)
1375    o pkg/shelfice
1376      - in mom_fluxform.F, mom_vecinv.F:
1377        CALL SHELFICE_V_DRAG(bi,bj,k,vFld,KE,KappaRU,vF,myThid)
1378        Bug fix KappaRU -> KappaRV
1379        does not change verification/isomip but may change other setups
1380        (presumably constant KappaRU=KappaRV)
1381      - fix diagnostics SHIU/Vdrag (thanks to Tom Millgate)
1382    o pkg/obcs:
1383      - fixed some indexing bugs in obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1384      - added obcs relaxation subroutines for HSALT and HSNOW
1385      - changes verification/seaice_obcs/results/obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1386    o pkg/seaice:
1387      - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,
1388        default is off for now.
1389    o pkg/obcs:
1390      - added obcs_seaice_sponge.F for obcs relaxation of seaice variables;
1391        see verification/seaice_obcs/input.seaiceSponge for example application.
1392      - remove local commom bloc "OBCS_GLOBAL" in obcs_readparms.F and do all the OB
1393        index setting by master-thread. This fix multi-threads Pb in previous modifs.
1394    o pkg/layers :
1395      - add diagnostics to pkg/layers
1396      - move the meat of pkg/layers from layers_calc.F to layers_fluxcalc.F
1397        (from R.Tulloch). Layers_calc.F now calls layers_fluxcalc.F accordingly.
1398    o pkg/generic_advdiff/gad_implicit_r.F :
1399      - fix ADVr diagnostics in case of both implicit vertical advection and diffusion.
1400    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1401      - fix SItflux diagnostics in virtual salt flux + balanceEmpmr case.
1402    o pkg/obcs:
1403      - change default setting of OBCS_UVICE_OLD from defined to undef;
1404      - use new parameter OB_indexNone for null index value (instead of hard-coded 0)
1405        in all pkg/obcs code and in other pkgs; remove k loop in obcs_check_depths.F;
1406      - pass OB_indexNone as (new) argument to S/R CTRL_MASK_SET_[X,Y]Z;
1407      - change OB null index value (OB_indexNone) to -99 ; this fix the problem
1408        with Southern & Western OB at a tile edge (at least in a simple set-up).
1409    o pkg/obcs:
1410      - change settings of OB index in case OB coincides with tile edge (shared by
1411        2 tiles), so that common OB location is registered by both tiles (instead of
1412        only 1). However, for Southern and Western OB, index value = 0 is not
1413        recognized as valid OB index (=default null value) and needs to be fixed.
1414      - modify accordingly OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW and OBCS_MONITOR (avoid double counting)
1415      - new parameter "OB_indexNone" for null index value (for now, still zero)
1416        to replace hard-coded null index value of zero.
1417    o pkg/exch2:
1418      - improve W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE (faster) and W2_E2_DEBUG_ON:
1419        always check buffer-size (but outside the loop); move checking for valid
1420        index from W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE to W2_E2_DEBUG_ON; in W2_E2_DEBUG_ON,
1421        print each tile and point connection only if |W2_printMsg|>= 2 and 3.
1422    o pkg/ctrl (pack & unpack):
1423      - in ctrl_pack.F & ctrl_unpack.F, use the same local file-name variable
1424        (locally defined) for different variables (+ remove the variable-specific
1425        file name in CTRL_GENARR.h). For now, only implemented for GENARR2/3D_CONTROL
1426        (to be extended to other local file names in ctrl.h).
1427    o pkg/flt:
1428      - add a FLT_Iter0 option (similar to PTRACERS_Iter0).
1429    o pkg/mdsio:
1430      - fix missing STOP in mdsio_readvec_loc.F (case ioUnit=0) when file is missing
1431    o tools/genmake2:
1432      - add similar dependences for target EXE_AD & EXE_FTL as we have for EXECUTABLE
1433        (added by Alistair in version 1.51 for building without make depend);
1434      - remove Header files list (H_SRC_FILES) from the dependence of targets
1435         ad_input_code.f & ftl_input_code.f (not clear why it was added in the first
1436        place in version 1.23): this save going through staf when unrelated header
1437        file has been modified.
1438       Note: for an intermediate target (e.g., ad_input_code.f or adtaf) without
1439        "make depend" step, still need to do "make links" before "make adtaf".
1440    o eesupp/src (+ few pkg src files) & genmake2:
1441      - finish to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see;
1442      - no longer set ALWAYS_USE_MPI in Makefile (was done by genmake2).
1443      - improve genmake2 checking for ALLOW_${PKG} in CPP_OPTIONS.h files (distinguish
1444         upper/lower case ; account for space between "#" and undef/define)
1445    o pkg/flt (with exch2):
1446      - cleaning: fix so that it compiles; move remaining MPI calls out of flt_exch2.F;
1447      - simplify threads synchronisation; fix (many issues) multi-threaded with MPI.
1448    
1449    checkpoint63s (2012/09/05)
1450    o pkg/ecco:
1451      - remove #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D brackets.
1452      - add more relevant #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH ones.
1453      - sort out useAtmWind, useSMOOTH, ctrlSmoothCorrel2D.
1454    o pkg/ctrl:
1455      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h : document CPPs related to smoothing; ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D,
1456        ALLOW_CTRL_SMOOTH, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL2D, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL3D.
1457      - ctrl.h : document run time params doInitXX, doMainPack, doMainUnpack, doPackDiag,
1458        doSinglePrecTapelev (audodiff param!), ctrlSmoothCorrel2D (new) and
1459        ctrlSmoothCorrel3D (new).
1460        The added ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D replace the old ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D CPP.
1461      - ctrl_readparms.F : initialise ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D and read from namelist.
1462      - ctrl_init.F ctrl_pack.F ctrl_unpack.F : switch off ustress/vstress
1463        controls when useAtmWind, and vice versa.
1464      - ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F : UVEL0, VVEL0, edtaux, edtauy cannot be smoothed as tracers.
1465      - ctrl_get_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D with
1466          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel2D, IF useSMOOTH.
1467      - ctrl_map_ini_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D with
1468          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel3D, IF useSMOOTH.
1469      - ctrl_set_pack_xy[z].F, ctrl_set_unpack_xy[z].F:
1470        replace ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D brackets with ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D.
1471    o pkg/smooth:
1472      - remove un-necessary includes.
1473      - remove ALLOW_SMOOTH*D and ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL*D brakets.
1474        Those CPP options were never defined, and not necessary.
1475    o model/src:
1476      - fix CPP brackets in ini_mixing.F (GM_background_K belongs to gmredi).
1477      - standard treatment of useSMOOTH.
1478    o pkg/autodiff:
1479      - add LOGICAL useGGL90inAdMode, useGGL90inFwdMode, useSALT_PLUMEinAdMode,
1480        useSALT_PLUMEInFwdMode allowing to switch off ggl90 and salt_plume adjoint.
1481    o pkg/exch2:
1482      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (in exch2_rx?_cube*.template)
1483        + start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see.
1484      - make new S/R W2_MAP_PROCS out of w2_eeboot.F to setup exch2 CommonFlag
1485        and tiles to process mapping.
1486      - re-arrange 3 header files (W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h, _BUFFER.h & _TOPOLOGY.h)
1487        moving /EXCH2_FILLVAL_RX/ & /W2_EXCH2_COMMFLAG/ to W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h;
1488        rename "exch2_tProc" to "W2_tileProc" and move seting of e2FillValue_RX
1489        from w2_eeboot.F to w2_readparms.F.
1490    o eesupp/src:
1491      - set exchNeedsMemsync & exchUsesBarrier according to "usingMPI" (instead of
1492        ALWAYS_USE_MPI) + moved from ini_communication_patterns.F to eeset_parms.F;
1493        also move setting of exchCollectStatistics from exch_init.F to eeset_parms.F
1494      - in eedie.F and all_proc_die.F, always call MPI_FINALIZE when ALLOW_USE_MPI
1495        is defined (remove condition on usingMPI) to match cases where MPI_INIT
1496        has been called.
1497      - fix bug I put in previous modif of exch_sm_3d_rx.template (not much used);
1498      - change default (non-MPI) value of myPid (from 1 to 0) to match MPI settings
1499        (so that on 1 proc, get same myPid independently of usingMPI)
1500      - add a stop if multi-procs but usingMPI=F ; stop also if usingMPI=T and
1501        useCubedSphereExchange with EXCH-1 (safer).
1502      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (+ start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI).
1503    o pkg/ggl90:
1504      - fix bug in filling corner mask array "mskCor" (FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL call)
1505        used in ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH code.
1506    o pkg/flt:
1507      - fix typo in FLT_WITHOUT_Y_PERIODICITY (the effect was to ignore stopping
1508        floats at the Southern end of the domain).
1509    o eesupp/inc:
1510      - add a list of CPP-options which can be set by Makefile (DEF_IN_MAKEFILE.h);
1511        but not used (and not to be used) anywhere, just for documentation.
1512    o pkg/autodiff, exf, ptracers & seaice (AD & TL output):
1513      - comment out the very nasty "writeBinaryPrec = writeStatePrec" line, since:
1514        a) can damage previously written records in any other multi-record files.
1515        b) if needed, can easily do it cleanly, by calling S/R WRITE_REC_3D_RL/S.
1516    o tools/genmake2:
1517      - define variable MAKE within Makefile and use it in place of 'make';
1518      - update AD_CONFIG.h (if needed) before building any of the executable
1519        (forward, adjoint or tangent-lin); this involves a 2nd invocation of make;
1520        and add the usual #ifndef/#define AD_CONFIG_H in AD_CONFIG.h;
1521      - always print usual warning comment 'this file is automatically generated'
1522        from script convert_cpp_cmd2defines (+ remove this warning from genmake2).
1523    o pkg/cheapaml:
1524      - updated to correspond to the code used in accepted paper (Nico Wienders).
1525    o pkg/exf:
1526        added run time switch useAtmWind to replace ALLOW_ATM_WIND cpp switch.
1527        ALLOW_ATM_WIND now just sets the useAtmWind default (see exf_readparms.F)
1528        and force defines ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE (EXF_OPTIONS.h).
1529    o pkg/exf, autodiff, ctrl, ecco and seaice:
1530        remove ALLOW_ATM_WIND brackets, or replace them with useAtmWind ones.
1531    o pkg/ctrl, ecco:
1532        allow to compile both ALLOW_U/VSTRESS_CONTROL and ALLOW_U/VWIND_CONTROL.
1533        Depending on useAtmWind, one is inactive, and the other is active (see
1534        exf_getffields.F/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F).
1535    o tools/genmake2:
1536      - improve error msg when failing in 2nd test of check_for_broken_Ff
1537      - fix option '-makefile' short-name (-mf according to genmake2 -help)
1538      - source local config file "genmake_local" just after processing the genmake2
1539        command arguments (previously done before processing arg).
1540    o pkg/grdchk:
1541      - add a call to TURNOFF_MODEL_IO for Tangent-Linear run (in this case, call
1542        to this routine from cost_final has been dropped in g_cost_final)
1543      - improve printed information (more explicit msg, no longer using "print *,"
1544         fix fcpertminus printed value).
1545    o model/src:
1546      - move call to COST_INIT_VARIA out of packages_init_variables.F directly
1547        into initialise_varia.F (just after calling PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES):
1548        this prevents getting cost-funct reset in adinitialise_varia recomputations.
1549    o pkg/dic:
1550      - move initialisation of "freefe" array from from dic_biotic_forcing.F to
1551        fe_chem.F: this prevents TAF from dropping this initialisation in TLM code.
1552    o pkg/grdchk:
1553      - grdchk_main.F : added CALL GLOBAL_SUM_INT( ierr , myThid )
1554      - grdchk_getadxx.F etc. : omit I/O if ierr.EQ.0
1555    o pkg/autodiff/ctrl/grdchk :
1556      - attempt to sort out what works and what does not,
1557        with regard to I/O, and to warn/stop accordingly.
1558    o pkg/grdchk:
1559      - attempt to fix grdchk in the case of useSingleCpuIO.
1560      - "if ( myProcId .EQ. grdchkwhichproc .AND. ierr .EQ. 0 )"
1561       statements were moved from grdchk_main.F and into
1562       grdchk_getadxx.F grdchk_getxx.F grdchk_setxx.F.
1563      - a global sum is applied to record numbers icvrec/layer
1564       out of grdchk_loc so that they be passed to I/O routines.
1565    o pkg/smooth:
1566      - fix recomputation that appeared with nlfs : use smooth_recip_hFacC,
1567        smooth_hFacW, smooth_hFacS (copied at init_fixed) in 3d case.
1568    o verification/testreport:
1569      - add option '-tlm' for Tangent-Linear test (-adm,-oad,-tlm are all exclusive);
1570      - can also use compressed (gzip) reference output file;
1571      - change format (in pkg/grdchk) of TLM output (+ add forward gradient)
1572        to be easier to collect by testreport.
1573      - update existing TLM output (half out-of-date by more than 3 yrs).
1574      - report NETCDF & LAPACK settings (from genmake2) in output dir.
1575      - report run-time in each individual summary (previously only for AD test);
1576        for TLM test, add also TAF version.
1577      - add daily TLM test on (old) aces cluster + weekly test on baudelaire.
1578    
1579    checkpoint63r (2012/08/15)
1580    o tools/genmake2:
1581      - fix Makefile for target ftlall (+ update files to clean after make ftlall)
1582    o pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F :
1583      - fix fc print statements (to stdout and costfunction0000) so
1584        that the printed value is always after the global sum.
1585    o pkg/seaice/seaice_dynsolver.F :
1586      - fix ice strength assymptote at SEAICE_area_max<1
1587        (no change for the standard case of SEAICE_area_max=1)
1588    o some cleaning:
1589      - pkg source files: ensure that all *.F files from each pkg included the
1590        corresponding ${PKG}_OPTIONS.h file (except stand-alone src file which
1591        only includes CPP_EEOPTIONS.h); fix S/R CTRL_SMOOTH ; update AD experiment
1592        code_ad/*.F src files; add new option-file in pkg/admtlm + corresponding
1593        includes;
1594      - model/src: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h wherever ALLOW_AUTODIFF[_TAMC] is used.
1595      - ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL: add a stop in S/R CTRL_CHECK in case ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
1596        is undef; also define /DYNVARS_DIFFKR/ common block in DYNVARS.h when
1597        ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL is defined, to allow to compile and reach this stop.
1598      - update option-file CPP_OPTIONS.h of all AD experiments:
1599        * no longer include PACKAGES_CONFIG.h ;
1600        * includes ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h if PACKAGES_CONFIG.h has been included ;
1601        * def/undef ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR independently of ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL (before
1602          including ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h).
1603    o pkg/cost, pkg/ctrl, pkg/ecco option-file:
1604      - clean-up and split content of old pkg/ecco/ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h file into
1605        separated pkg option-file (done according to old doc from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h,
1606        not necessary accurate).
1607      - add a template for option-file ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h, mostly empty, in
1608        pkg/autodiff, i.e., the 1rst pkg to compile for adjoint built, with lines to
1609        deliberately break compilation (a remainder that it needs to be customized)
1610      - in pkg/ecco, includes ECCO_OPTIONS.h instead of COST_OPTIONS.h
1611      - rename COST_CPPOPTIONS.h to COST_OPTIONS.h
1612      - rename CTRL_CPPOPTIONS.h to CTRL_OPTIONS.h
1613    o tools/genamke2:
1614      - check for lapack.
1615    o pkg/cost and pkg/ecco : attempt to sort out some of the limiting intricacies.
1616      - pkg/cost.cost_final.F : allow for use of pkg/ecco and pkg/cost cost functions
1617        jointly. The exclusive ifdefs were removed, to add costs terms (when defined)
1618        from both packages.
1619      - the fc global sum in pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F was removed accordingly.
1620      - for objf_atl we use either the pkg/ecco or the pkg/cost term depending on CPPs.
1621      - pkg/ecco and model/src : add CPP brackets around pkg/cost and pkg/ctrl includes
1622        of "CTRL_SIZE.h" "ctrl.h" "ctrl_dummy.h" "optim.h" / "cost.h" accordingly.
1623    o pkg/cost : add comments to explain special and/or untested setups.
1624    o pkg/exf:
1625      - use EXF_OPTIONS.h to set pkg/exf options except if done in ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h
1626        (previously, ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC was controling this switch).
1627    o verification/*/code_ad:
1628      mimimal cleaning of AD experiments ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h option-file:
1629      - reccord when this file is included (define ECCO_CPPOPTIONS_H)
1630      - remove the most obvious obsolete features (e.g., #define ALLOW_COST not
1631        allowed since Oct 2003 in any option-file except in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h)
1632    o pkg/seaice :
1633      - added possibility to change ice strength/PRESS0 relationship to
1634        HEFF, according to the following run time parameters
1635        SEAICEpresPow0 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength below SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
1636        SEAICEpresPow1 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength above SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
1637        SEAICEpresH0   :: HEFF threshold for ice strength            (m)
1638    o pkg/ggl90 :
1639      - added run time flag mxlSurfFlag to include the code that ensure
1640        mixing between first and second level (previously included as a comment)
1641    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/input_ad/data.autodiff :
1642      - add test of newly added dumpAdByRec=T option where
1643        we write all records to one file per variable.
1644    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/code_ad/CPP_OPTIONS.h :
1645      - switch to #define ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX and ALLOW_BALANCE_FLUXES
1646        to check that this code is ok with taf and compiles in adjoint.
1647    o pkg/autodiff :
1648      - added run time param dumpAdByRec : ad dump format switch.
1649        If true then write all records to one file per variable.
1650        Else write one file per record (remains the default).
1651      - revise seaice_ad_dump.F and exf_adjoint_snapshots_ad.F accordingly.
1652    o pkg/seaice:
1653     - Added SEAICEuseTILT run time switch : if set to
1654       false then omit the tilt term in seaice dynamics.
1655     - Fix free drift calculation.
1656    o pkg/shelfice:
1657      When initializing SHELFICEDragQuadratic, set default to be
1658      consistent with shiCdrag in case SHELFICEuseGammaFrict is used,
1659      but retain option to set it independently
1660      (inconsistenty spotted by Veronique Dansereau)
1661    o eesupp/inc:
1662      - in EEPARAMS.h, add real-type constant for some frequently used simple number
1663         (0,1,2,1/2), with name explicitly referring to RS/RL type.
1664    o model/src:
1665      - move balancing of relaxation terms to new S/R balance_relax.F.
1666    o pkg/autodiff:
1667      re-write active I/O high-level (control) S/R:
1668      - rename  S/R ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_RL to ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_3D_RL
1669      - add 1 more argument (useCurrentDir) to replace the "_LOC" 2nd set of S/R.
1670      - use standard pkg/mdsio I/O routines (MDS_READ/WRITE_SEC_XZ/YZ  and
1671        MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD); change loops to multi-threads.
1672      - update and merge active_file_control_slice.flow into active_file_control.flow
1673      - update the calls in lower level S/R (active_file.F, active_file_g.F and
1674        active_file_ad.F) keeping the argument list and function unchanged.
1675      - also update lower-level "_LOC" version (call same S/R with "useCurrentDir
1676        =.TRUE.") and remove high-level (control) _loc version (not called anymore).
1677      - new low-level active I/O routines, one for each type (RL/RS), for active var
1678        of various (XY,XZ,YZ) shape and level number (arguments: arrShape, myNr);
1679        fix ctrl_init_wet.F & ecco_cost_weights.F by calling the new S/R with the
1680        right type.
1681    o autodiff and RS=real*4:
1682      - call the right type (_RS instead of _RL) of S/R in few output S/R (pkg/exf
1683        ad-monitor and snapshots); disable arrType='RS' in mdsio_gl*.F ;
1684      - change argument type of 3-D mask argument to _RS to match type in the call
1685        (in seaice_cost*.F, ctrl_*_gen.F and *ctrl_bound.F); to be continued.
1686    o pkg/thsice:
1687      - re-anable balanceEmPmR when useSEAICE=T with useThSIce=T.
1688      - option to correct ocean fresh-water flux for imbalance of Atmos+Land
1689        fresh-water flux: uniform correction or proportional to local precip.
1690    o pkg/ctrl:
1691      - new header file CTRL_SIZE.h for parameters maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D
1692      - redefine CPP option ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL to
1693                            ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL_NONGENERIC
1694      - verification/hs94.1x64x5/ tests ALLOW_GENARR{2D,3D}_CONTROL
1695    
1696    checkpoint63q (2012/07/30)
1697    o pkg/autodiff:
1698      note about monitor and snap-shot of ad-variables:
1699      a) need to apply ADEXCH before monitor or output of ad-vars to include
1700       overlap contributions (was done for adjDump but missing for monitor).
1701      b) since ADEXCH implies adding overlap values to interior array, machine
1702       truncation error is expected when adding an ADEXCH call in the middle of
1703       the time-stepping (although mathematically identical).
1704      modifs:
1705      - fix some incorrect type (RL/RS, UV/scalar) in ADEXCH calls and ad-vars
1706        declaration (adEddyPsiX,adEddyPsiY in adcommon.h).
1707      - add new run-time params (dumpAdVarExch & mon_AdVarExch) to select how  to
1708        apply ADEXCH before monitor or snap-shot of ad-variables:
1709           =0 : no ADEXCH ; =1 : do ADEXCH ; =2 : apply ADEXCH on a local copy.
1710      - implement new method (copy+adexch) for snap-shot and monitor of main model
1711        ad-vars (initially not used by default -> output unchanged).
1712      - change default (set to 2) to use new method and update few output_adm.txt
1713        with accurate ad-monitor (global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
1714        and both tutorial_tracer_adjsens tests).
1715      - switch 2 global_ocean.cs32x15 AD-tests to AB-2 (seaice_dynmix & thsice)
1716        and turn off momDissip_In_AB in the 2 other (needed for stable AB-3).
1717    o pkg/ctrl:
1718      enable the use of a variable number (maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D) of
1719      generic control variables via
1720      #define ALLOW_GENARR2D_CONTROL and/or #define ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL
1721      Only required customization should be S/R ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F
1722      (routine in repository contains example)
1723    o pkg/exf:
1724      - fix and refine checking of surface-relaxation setting when using EXF
1725    o verification (adjoint exp):
1726      - reduce length of simulation by half for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15
1727        (std, seaice & seaice_dynmix) and exp tutorial_dic_adjoffline; update output.
1728    o pkg/mom_common (mom_u/v_bottomdrag), pkg/shelfice (shelfice_u/v_drag)
1729      - replace if statements KE.ne.0 with KE.gt.0 to avoid sqrt of negative numbers
1730        of KE that can occur with aggressive optimization
1731      + put quadratic bottom drag calculation in separated loops (only done if
1732        using bottomDragQuadratic)
1733    o model/src: CG2D_NSA
1734      - clean-up:  stop if cg2dNormaliseRHS=T and AUTODIFF
1735         and replace GLOBAL_SUM calls with GLOBAL_SUM_TILE.
1736      - in test-exp that uses CG2D_NSA (bottom_ctrl & tutorial_tracer_adjsens),
1737         change cg2d residual target to be expressed in Wunits (=> do not normalise
1738         RHS ; this fix global_max Pb with TAF); update output.
1739    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
1740       improve parameter consistency (and get rid of warnings):
1741       - use deltaTFreeSurf=deltaTtracer (better with NonLin FreeSurf);
1742       - switch Temp Adv Scheme from 81 to 80 (no limiter since theta < 0 is physical)
1743       - use staggerTimeStep (for stability) in som81; use default rotation period.
1744    o pkg/exch2:
1745      - with empty facet: fix compact-format (W2_mapIO=1) definition (was previously
1746        reset to 0 = 1 long line in X)
1747    o pkg/mdsio:
1748      - fix reading of dimensions from meta file for large-size domain
1749    o model/src:
1750      - fix saltIsActiveTr setting for IdealGas eosType (eosType is 6 character long);
1751      - to refine CS-grid check, add logical flag "hasWetCSCorners": true if using
1752        Cubed-Sphere Exch with CS-corners inside the domain;
1753        make new S/R INI_GLOBAL_DOMAIN from code in ini_linear_phisurf.F to calculate
1754        globalArea and to set hasWetCSCorners.
1755      - add warning if usingCurvilinearGrid and momAdvection in flux-form (missing
1756        metric terms); stop if hasWetCSCorners=T and momAdvection in flux-form.
1757      - re-activate the stop if useCDscheme and hasWetCSCorners=T (previously if
1758        useCDscheme and useCubedSphereExchange).
1759    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F :
1760      - compute the SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX term accordingly
1761        for the (.NOT.useRealFreshWaterFlux).OR.(nonlinFreeSurf.EQ.0)
1762        when the previous code was not correct.
1763      - in all cases diagnoze the boundary condition mismatch to SIaaflux
1764      - in the case of useRealFreshWaterFlux.AND.(nonlinFreeSurf.GT.0) add
1765        that term to QNET (essentially to set the melt/freeze water to 0degC).
1766        when SEAICEheatConsFix is true, so that the ocean+ice budget heat is closed.
1767    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice :
1768      - add SEAICEheatConsFix in data.seaice, ensuring closed ocean+ice heat budget.
1769      - add diagnostics (commented out) for budget test using my matlab codes (gcmfaces).
1770      - update results (output.seaice.txt) accordingly.
1771    o verification/lab_sea/input/data.seaice :
1772      - remove SEAICEheatConsFix, which is now be tested
1773        in global_ocean.cs32x15. The presently coded fix
1774        is only consistent with real fresh water + nlfs.
1775      - update results (output.txt) accordingly.
1776    o pkg/salt_plume: added diagnotic for salt tendency (oceSPtnd).
1777    o AD_CONFIG.h file:
1778      - in genmake2: remove "#undef ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION" from AD_CONFIG.h;
1779      - remove #include "AD_CONFIG.h" from all included OPTIONS files and
1780        add it explicitly in each fortran src file where it is needed.
1781        motivation: header file AD_CONFIG.h is generated/modified after "make depend"
1782        thus introducing potentially wrong dependency; therefore, better to include
1783        it only where it's really needed, and after any other included OPTIONS file
1784        (less tempting to bring conditional includes according to ALLOW_ADJOINT_RUN
1785        or ALLOW_TANGENTLINEAR_RUN).
1786    
1787    checkpoint63p (2012/07/06)
1788    o pkg/autodiff:
1789      - rename S/R INI_AUTODIFF to AUTODIFF_INIT_VARIA ;
1790      - create new header file "AUTODIFF_PARAMS.h" for pkg/autodiff parameters
1791        which are now read from new parameter file "data.autodiff" (inAdExact
1792        previously in "data", use{KPP/GMRedi/SEAICE}inAdMode previously in data.pkg)
1793      - add file "data.autodiff" in all verification/*/input_ad/ directories.
1794      - add run-time parameter to turn On/Off SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT in adjoint/forward
1795        mode (used in global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix test exp.)
1796    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
1797      - add extra sub-verification which uses "SOM" advection scheme
1798        (2nd Order-Moment Advection Scheme, Prather Limiter) with
1799          #define GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV in GAD_OPTIONS.h
1800        and in data:
1801          multiDimAdvection=.TRUE.,
1802          tempAdvScheme=81,
1803          saltAdvScheme=81,
1804    o model/src:
1805      - introduce ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX which allow the removal
1806       of the global mean of relaxation terms by setting
1807       balanceThetaClimRelax and balanceSaltClimRelax
1808      - disable balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet in the case when useSeaice.
1809       This case is now treated appropriately in seaice_growth.F
1810    o pkg/seaice:
1811      - do balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet based on the net fluxes
1812        (SItflux) that enter the ocean+ice system rather than QNET
1813        and EMPMR. Works best in real fresh water.
1814      - SIatmFW, SIatmQnet, and SItflux computations had to be moved
1815        out of the diagnotics bloc, and stored in global arrays.
1816    
1817    checkpoint63o (2012/06/29)
1818    o vertical mixing schemes:
1819      - remove unused S/R CALC_BUOYANCY (left from branch-atmos merging)
1820      - replace computation of density (in Function STATE1, opps_calc.F) by a call
1821        to S/R FIND_RHO_SCALAR
1822      - pass sigmaR to S/R PP81_CALC, MY82_CALC (but not yet used) and to GGL90_CALC
1823        and use it for N^2 calculation in ggl90_calc.F (save 2 density computations);
1824        affects output (vermix.ggl90) at truncation level.
1825    o testreport:
1826      - change adjustment of SIZE.h for mpi+mth testing: preserve enough tiles
1827        (nSx,nSy) for the number of threads (from eedata.mth)
1828    o model/src:
1829      - remove 2nd set of calls at the top of initialise_varia.F (Adjoint part)
1830        related to Non_Lin Free-Surf or Bottom-Control (but not longer necessary).
1831    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
1832      - compile with ALLOW_CG2D_NSA
1833      - run with nonlinFreeSurf=3
1834      - update reference output_adm.txt
1835    o tools/genmake2:
1836      - add "-DHAVE_NETCDF" to the DEFINES list when NetCDF is available ;
1837        refine usePROFILES switching off (only when NetCDF is not available).
1838    o verification (atmospheric set-up):
1839      - change eosType='IDEALGAS' to eosType='IDEALG' to match variable declaration
1840    o pkg/profiles : refine profiles and files handling.
1841    o model/src and pkg/ecco : introduce run-time switch usePROFILES.
1842    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F and pkg/exf/EXF_OPTIONS.h :
1843      - changes to use model/src/the_main_loop.F rather than the ecco version
1844        in ecco type adjoint runs.
1845    o model/src:
1846      - move computation of recip of grid distance & area from INI_MASKS_ETC to INI_GRID
1847      - move setting of h0Fac[C,W,S] from INI_LINEAR_PHISURF to INI_MASKS_ETC
1848      - update_masks_etc.F: rename SMOOTH*_R4,R8 function to the corresponding type (RS,RL)
1849    o model/src:
1850      - fix S/R UPDATE_CG2D for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL case (was empty before);
1851        update output of test experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5.
1852    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1853      - implement vertical bi-harmonic diffusion (for now, only for T & S and
1854        only explicitly).
1855    o verification/bottom_ctrl_5x5/
1856      update reference output (results changed quite some time ago,
1857      not sure when; but new reference results look ok in terms of grdchk)
1858    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/
1859      For verification purposes, the exact adjoint rather than an approx.
1860      should be used (e.g., to comare against F.D. or TLM).
1861      removed autodiff_inadmode*_ad.F routines in code_ad/
1862      Update results/ accordingly.
1863    o pkg/cal:
1864      - change cal_getdate.F so that output date is function of input time only
1865        (less ambiguous, not mixed up with input iteration number).
1866      - fix calendarDumps for non-zero phase-lag (S/R CAL_TIME2DUMP).
1867    o pkg/diagnostics:
1868      - implement calendarDumps also for stats-diags
1869      - implement calendarDumps also for snap-shot output (negative freq)
1870      - for now, ignores calendarDumps if non-zero phase-lag.
1871    
1872    checkpoint63n (2012/06/04)
1873    o model/src:
1874      - recompute rSurfW & S to ensure consistent column thickness (needed for rStar)
1875        between Sum_k(hFac*drF) and rSurf-rLow, for now only when using pkg/shelfice;
1876      - use h0FacC, W & S to compute hFac_surfC, W & S in calc_surf_dr.F (more
1877        similar to calc_r_star.F); update results of experiment internal_wave and
1878        tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
1879    o pkg/shelfice:
1880      - add parameterisation of advective-diffusive flux into the ice shelf
1881        according to Holland and Jenkins (1999), eq.22-33, as suggested by Jan De Ryd
1882      - simply eps3/3a computation
1883    o eesupp:
1884     - add new CPP option (DISCONNECTED_TILES) to disconnect tiles (no exchange
1885       between tiles, just fill-in edges assuming locally periodic subdomain) and
1886       add corresponding exchange subroutines (EXCH0);
1887     - new CG-solver version (_EX0) for disconnected-tiles special case.
1888    o model/src (CG-solvers):
1889     - modify Single-Reduction version (CG2D_SR) in case cg2dMaxIters is reached
1890       (similar final residual output and max-Iter number as with standard version);
1891     - allows to store and use lowest-residual solution (standard & _SR versions);
1892     - cleaning up (remove old, commented out code, LETS_MAKE_JAM ...).
1893     - by default, also compile CG2D_SR version (define ALLOW_SRCG in CPP_OPTIONS.h)
1894    o eesup/src:
1895     - global_vec_sum.F cleaning: add a BARRIER ; update comments ; remove ndef
1896       ALWAYS_USE_MPI (no longer needed after fixing usingMPI settings - March 2012)
1897    o pkg/salt_plume added to lab_sea/input_ad.noseaicedyn
1898    
1899    checkpoint63m (2012/04/27)
1900    o pkg/shelfice:
1901     - account for partical cells in surface level below ice-shelf for hydrostatic
1902       pressure calculion (set uniformFreeSurfLev to F); update isomip experiments.
1903    o ad test experiments:
1904     - update and rename to "ad_optfile.local" local AD-optfile specific to a
1905       particular adjoint verification experiment (in verification/*/code_ad/)
1906    o pkg/seaice & pkg/exf:
1907     - Part two of ECCO-CLIVAR code merges.
1908       Completes merge of seaice area relax. code.
1909       Requires unified CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX
1910       to be set in EXF_OPTIONS.h since this pkg controls its I/O
1911       (and avoids second CPP option in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
1912     - change default value of costIceStart & costIceEnd to a valid date.
1913     - add snowPrecip to HSNOW in seaice_growth
1914    o pkg/ptracers:
1915     - move ptracers summary and setup check into separated S/R ; add a check for
1916       valid PTRACERS_Iter0 value (error+stop or just warning).
1917    o pkg/cal (+ pkg/ecco):
1918     - avoid calling a S/R with 2 times the same arg (FWD: unless both are only used
1919       as input; and for AD, unless both are not differentiable (e.g., k index)).
1920    o model/src:
1921     - define internal flag "uniformFreeSurfLev" (=T when free-surface level-index
1922       is everywhere k=1) to speed-up some calculations (by pass kSurf reference);
1923       temporary set to usingZCoords value (to be changed to F when using shelfice).
1924     - hydrostatic pressure: implement partial cell near the surface also for
1925       Z-coordinates (for the case where uniformFreeSurfLev=F); replace test on
1926       usingZCoords with test on uniformFreeSurfLev where needed (in NonHyd code).
1927    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_init.F:
1928     - add a formal parameter to s/r ctrl_init_rec to print
1929       xx_$(ctrl_valiable)_file for easier debugging
1930     - move call of cal_* routines into the if-block where they are really
1931       needed so that xx_$(ctrl_variable)_period can be 0 or -12 without having
1932       to specify a startdate
1933    o pkg/seaice:
1934     - update comments in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (+ similar update of lab_sea/code and
1935       global_ocean.cs32x15/code versions).
1936     - turn on seaice Multi-category (in data.seaice, SEAICE_multDim=7) for
1937       verification experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice and update results.
1938    o pkg/exf:
1939     - new S/R EXF_GETFIELD_START to return starting-time of a forcing field
1940       (according to useExfYearlyFields).
1941    o pkg/cal:
1942     - move calendar setting & summary (previously in cal_readparams.F) into new
1943       S/R CAL_INIT_FIXED to be called later in the initialisation process, once
1944       length of the simulation is set (after SET_PARMS call); This is an attempt
1945       to fix Pb when, e.g.: pkg/longstep, modifies the length of the run.
1946     - For safety: keep a record of pkg/cal parameter settings status
1947               to allow to STOP if one pkg/cal S/R is called too early.
1948     - add a stop in all basic pkg/cal subroutines if called before setting is done.
1949     - modify cal_getdate.F: stop when nothing was returned;
1950       if called with myIter=-1, simply retrun modelBaseDate (1,2 = startDate_1,_2);
1951       this allows to remove "cal.h" from seaice_read_parms.F & init_mnc_vars.F.
1952    
1953    checkpoint63l (2012/04/04)
1954    o pkg/bbl:
1955      - fix call to FIND_RHO_2D in bbl_calc_rho.F (case multi-tiles per proc);
1956        update global_with_exf output.yearly.txt file.
1957    o pkg/cal:
1958      - start to clean-up cal_set.F ; fix for the case where baseTime is non-zero.
1959      - remove 2 unsused and very short (1 line only) functions ;
1960      - remove unsused subroutines from AD-Diff list.
1961    o model/src:
1962      - start to implement clean wait to stop in initialization S/R (config_check.F,
1963         packages_check.F, ini_parms.F and pkg/obcs/obcs_check.F + pkg/mypackage)
1964    o folowing PRINT_MESSAGE changes:
1965      - remove reminder multiple print to the same file (STDOUT) when multi-threads.
1966    o pkg/bbl:
1967      - modification so it can work with z*
1968      - replace deltaT with dTtracerLev(k) for asynchronous time stepping
1969      - global_with_exf/input.yearly verification; changes output.yearly.txt
1970    o eesupp/src:
1971      - PRINT_MESSAGE: use OpenMP critical instruction (similar to PRINT_ERROR);
1972        writing to unit 0 (if unit=errorMessageUnit) extended to the case myThid=1
1973      - CHECK_THREADS: specific code if using OpenMP threading: improve checking of
1974        # of threads across processors (e.g., different env OMP_NUM_THREADS setting)
1975      - improve special preliminary call to EESET_PARMS (if eedata is read 2 times).
1976      - when using MPI, always set usingMPI=T ; set default accordingly and stop
1977        if not consistent.
1978      - ALL_PROC_DIE: add a BARRIER after MPI_FINALIZE call ; skip this when thread
1979        argument is zero (in case called within single-thread section).
1980    o pkg/fizhi:
1981        clean-up turbulence cold-start switch: decided in fizhi_init_vars.F, stored
1982        in common bloc (fizhi_coms.h) and then passed as argument up to S/R TURBIO.
1983    o pkg/exch2:
1984      - add argument "updateCorners" to S/R exch2_get_uv_bounds (enable to
1985        activate EXCH_IGNORE_CORNERS in vector EXCH S/R).
1986      - switch 1rst EXCH call to IGNORE_CORNERS (instead of UPDATE_CORNERS)
1987        but keep the 2nd with UPDATE_CORNERS: this prevents overwriting good data
1988        with bad ones coming from a not-yet-updated halo.
1989        This should fix the problem when sNx <> sNy and GCD(sNx,sNy) < 2*Olx.
1990    o pkg/frazil:
1991        move FrzForcT diag from frazil_diagnostics_state.F to frazil_calc_rhs.F
1992        http://mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2012-March/005384.html
1993    o model/src/config_check.F: add a check for OLx>sNx/OLy>sNy
1994    o verification/lab_sea
1995      * #undef SEAICE_EXCLUDE_FOR_EXACT_AD_TESTING
1996      * #define ALLOW_SST_CONTROL & ALLOW_SST_CONTROL
1997      * nTimeSteps 3 -> 4
1998      * changed reference output accordingly
1999    o pkg/ctrl:
2000      * fix ctrl_get_gen for xx_sst, xx_sss
2001    o pkg/fizhi:
2002      - fix 2 calls to S/R GRD2MSC (argument igrd) in update_earth_exports.F
2003        update results of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (fail with only 6 digits for cg2d)
2004      - by default, use new version of S/R GETPWHERE (#define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE);
2005        fix few out-of-bounds indices in referencing vars (initialise igrd to 1);
2006        clean-up fizhi_turb.F (remove unused & uninitialised qdiaglsm array).
2007    o pkg/gmredi:
2008      - add diagnostic of Redi (main diagnonal) vertical diffusive flux of Temp
2009    o pkg/fizhi:
2010      - fix few initialisation and multi-tile Pb: aqualev & gridalt now pass the
2011        (old)aces open64 tuv test.
2012    o pkg/icefront: fix bug and reorder loop in icefront_init_varia.F
2013    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
2014      - fix 1 loop range in mom_vecinv.F to be like all the other loops which
2015        set/update gu,gv/Diss (fix Pb of uninitialised fVerUkp in admom_vecinv
2016        with non-lin free-surf).
2017    o model/src: move k-loop outside of i/j-loops when (re-)computing R_low
2018      in ini/update_masks_etc.F in order to avoid -O3 optimization problems with
2019      some compilers (gfortran 4.6.0 on MacOS)
2020    o momentum:
2021      - separate fVer?(:,:,kUp) & fVer?(:,:,kDown) in argument list of MOM_FLUXFORM
2022        & MOM_VECINV subroutines (to help TAF). This fixes Pb of uninitialised
2023        fVer?(kUp) in admom_fluxform with non-lin free-surf or bottom control.
2024    
2025    checkpoint63k (2012/03/17)
2026    o model/src:
2027       - selectAddFluid (ALLOW_ADDFLUID): add missing term in horizontal momentum
2028         flux-form (mom_fluxform.F) and vertical momentum (calc_gw.F) equations.
2029       - SOLVE_DIAGONAL: switch default to use adjoinable & vectorized version
2030         (#undef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY); update output of exp. front_relax.bvp.
2031    o model/src: solve_*diagonal.F
2032       - replace division with multiplication by inverse (similar to original version)
2033         update output of AD exp. global_ocean.90x40x15.
2034       - fix pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_psi_bvp.F & pkg/ggl90/ggl90_calc.F
2035         to enable the use of the vectorized & differentiable solve_tridiagonal.F
2036       - test exp. global_ocean.90x40x15/input_ad: switch to advection scheme 20 for
2037         vertical advection (to get solve_tridiagonal tested in AD mode).
2038    o pkg/seaice: ECCO-CLIVAR merge:
2039      1. seaice AREA relaxation
2040         * CPP option: SEAICE_ALLOW_AREA_RELAXATION
2041         * runtime flag: SEAICE_tauAreaObsRelax
2042      2. modified global mean cost imbalance code: CPP option
2043          ALLOW_SSH_GLOBMEAN_COST_CONTRIBUTION
2044    o another iteration on solve_*diagonal.F
2045       Make choices independent of AUTODIFF
2046       Default will be the adjoinable vectorized version.
2047       Alternative choices are:
2048       * non-adjoinable original version with low memory footprint:
2049         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY
2050       * still adjoinable but does not vectorize (k as inner-most loop):
2051         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER (keeping SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY undef)
2052    o testreport
2053     - add option to use a home made wrapper around "make"
2054     - remove MITGCM_IEEE env. variable (no longer active)
2055    o pkg/shelfice
2056     - improve computation of friction velocity for velocity dependent
2057       exchange coefficients: include velocities into SHELFICEBoundaryLayer
2058       block to average velocities vertically
2059     - add TAF store directives for SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
2060    o Modify diagonal solvers, now three versions (upon request):
2061      #ifndef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF
2062        1. default version (dating back a while ago)
2063      #else /* def SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
2064      # ifdef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER
2065        2. adjoinable version with k-innermost loop (G. Forget)
2066      # else
2067        3. adjoinable vectorized version of 2.
2068      # endif
2069      #endif /* SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
2070      All flags are currently set within routines, but could/should be moved to CPP-options.
2071      Array bounds for 1. are as before, for 2.,3. cover the entire domain
2072      (could be changed for 1. too).
2073    o verification/lab_sea (fwd):
2074      - update the 4 fwd lab_sea test experiment: no longer SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
2075        use 7 categories (except hb87), new solve4temp params (except salt_plume),
2076        constant salinity (=4) or variable salinity (salt_plume) done through
2077        SItracer.
2078    o pkg/seaice:
2079      - rename parameters: SIsalFrac to SEAICE_saltFrac & SIsal0 to SEAICE_salt0;
2080      - remove old parameters ( SEAICE_freeze, SEAICEturbFluxFormula, SEAICE_gamma_t,
2081         SEAICE_gamma_t_frz, SEAICE_availHeatTaper & SEAICE_availHeatFracFrz)
2082        from SEAICE_PARMS.h ; still need to fix seaice_cost_sst.F (broken when
2083        SEAICE_freeze got retired) but already better than previously with
2084        SEAICE_freeze=123456.7 deg.C;
2085      - move setting of facOpenGrow/Melt from SEAICE_INIT_FIXED to SEAICE_READPARMS
2086        (safer multi-threaded setting); always set SEAICEuseEVP;
2087      - setting of ocean-ice turb. flux coeff: moved from SEAICE_CHECK to
2088        SEAICE_READPARMS & SEAICE_INIT_FIXED (this fixes wrong summary report);
2089        stop if multiple specifications for the same coeff; make sure default
2090        SEAICE_mcPheePiston is compatible with drF(1) & deltaT.
2091    o pkg/obcs:
2092      - allow to switch to upwind 1rst order advection scheme for the advective
2093        flux computation at the open-boundary; disabled for adjoint built.
2094    o pkg/ptracers:
2095      - rename PTRACERS_RESTART.h -> PTRACERS_START.h
2096      - rename ptracers_fields_blocking_exchanges.F -> ptracers_fields_blocking_exch.F
2097      - add parameter to decide when to start a tracer; use internal flag to
2098        know which tracer to step-forward; switch this internal flag at the top
2099        of forward_step.F (new S/R PTRACERS_SWITCH_ONOFF); for now, not enabled
2100        for adjoint built.
2101    o pkg/seaice:
2102      - add SEAICE_SIZE.h anywhere in the code where SEAICE.h is included ;
2103      - move MULTDIM declaration and setting from SEAICE.h to SEAICE_SIZE.h ;
2104      - keep experiment offline_exf_seaice truly single category (set MULTDIM=1).
2105    o pkg/ecco:
2106      - fix writing of output file DiagnosCost_ClimSalt/Theta
2107        and DiagnosCost_DriftSalt/Theta (if multi-tiles per proc).
2108    o pkg/seaice:
2109      - add missing initialisation of COR_ICE array in dynsolver.F
2110      - merging SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY define and undef cases. Now the same code is
2111        compiled either way, and is tested in all exps (multidim was only tested
2112        in lab_sea ad before).
2113      - cosmetic change to prepare for future addition of ITD. no change to results.
2114        no defaults change.
2115      - added run time param SEAICE_multDim (7 for SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY, 1 otherwise).
2116      - by lack of adequate verification experiments, I further used custom versions
2117        of global_ocean.cs32x15 to test multicat or not, with pickup or not. All
2118        should be correct.
2119      - avoid recomputations in ad.
2120    o array initialisation in adjoint mode:
2121      1) pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_ke.F:
2122        add full array initialisation of KE inside mom_calc_ke.F (ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC):
2123        The S/R which calls MOM_CALC_KE initialises KE but in some recomputation
2124        part this initialisation is gone, resulting in Floating Point Exception
2125        (caught by open64 compiler with debug option).
2126      2) model/src/convective_weights.F
2127        set output convectCount over the full array range (instead of doing
2128        an update): this fix a similar issue when called within recomputation (adjoint)
2129        which could by-pass the initialisation (normally done in the caller S/R).
2130    o pkg/seaice:
2131      - final version of turbulent flux params, as agreed at MIT ice meet:
2132           SEAICE_mcPheePiston (default is ~ 0.000875)
2133           SEAICE_mcPheeTaper (default is 0.)
2134           SEAICE_frazilFrac (defualt is 1.)
2135           SEAICE_mcPheeStepFunc (default is false)
2136      - changes results at trunction error level
2137      - ifdef SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES, disallow SEAICE_waterAlbedo
2138    o added pkg/frazil:
2139      - see frazil_description.tex for details
2140      - verification experiment is global_with_exf/input.yearly; changes output.yearly.txt
2141    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F
2142      - fix exponents for velocity dependent exchange coefficients: change
2143        from 2/3(=0) to 0.66666666666666667
2144      - move computation of velocity dependent exchange coefficients into
2145        separate loop, so that it applies to both thermodynamics
2146      - move some divisions by constants out of loops
2147    
2148    checkpoint63j (2012/02/16)
2149    o pkg/seaice:
2150      - overhaul of seaice_summary.F after feb 2012 clean-up of seaice_growth.F etc.
2151      - SItracer:  added run time params, and allow coupling to ocn salinity.
2152    o pkg/seaice: remove (almost) all divisions by constants within loops
2153      in seaice_growth.F and seaice_solve4temp.F, this changes (only) the cg2d
2154      results of global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice from 16 to 11 digits (but only
2155      those, caused by 1/QI -> recip_QI) -> update output.seaice.txt,
2156      output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt and also lab_sea: output_adm.evp.txt
2157    o pkg/seaice :
2158      - simplify McPhee tapering, and allow to use it with SEAICEturbFluxFormula
2159        = 1 or 2, using newly added run time parameter SEAICE_availHeatTaper.
2160      - fix d_AREAbyATM, d_AREAbyOCN, d_AREAbyICE diags I broke in r1.148.
2161      - add permanent SItflux diag that corresponds to TFLUX but includes
2162        ice+snow. Hence SItflux-TFLUX should match the ice+snow heat budget.
2163      - allow activation/testing of a fix for suspected missing term in
2164        ocn-ice heat budget (to be confirmed). To test this, you want to
2165        undef SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX, and then set the run time param
2166        SEAICEheatConsFix to .TRUE. that also allows the 'SIaaflux' diagnostic.
2167      - no change in results, fwd or ad.
2168    o global_ocean.cs32x15/results: 3 changes following from the pkg/seaice commit below:
2169      - switch to variable freezing point.
2170           Results change : cg2d -> 1 digits; ad -> 3-6-6 digits.
2171      - bug fix : the sublimation term that was missing is now activated.
2172           Results change : cg2d -> 2 digits; ad -> 8-6-6 digits.
2173      - bug fix : flooding sign term for SIsal0.NE.0.
2174           Result change : cg2d -> 8 digits; ad -> 11-12-9 digits.
2175    o pkg/seaice:
2176      - unified freezing point treatment : the old SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT
2177        is now the default, and the old default constant freezing point is recovered
2178        with SEAICE_tempFrz0    = -1.96,
2179             SEAICE_dTempFrz_dS = 0.,
2180      - retire SEAICE_freeze (= the old way of specifycing the constant freezing point)
2181      - remove ALLOW_SEAICE_FLOODING brackets; run time switch is already there.
2182      - bug fix (thanks to M. Losch) : the sublimation term that was missing is now
2183        activated. To reproduce old results with this bug define SEAICE_DISABLE_SUBLIM.
2184      - bug fix (silly me) : flooding sign term (seaice_growth.F r 1.149line 1211)
2185        was wrong for SIsal0.NE.0. Changes cs32x15 results (see above item for detail).
2186      - bug fix (thanks to O. Jahn) : area loss for melting  got messed up in
2187        seaice_growth r149 for legacy branch (no results change).
2188      - introduce SEAICE_CAP_SUBLIM : caps sublimation heat flux in solve4temp (code
2189        from I. Fenty).
2190      - results did not change except for global_ocean.cs32x15, mostly due to the
2191        switch to variable freezing point (see above item for detail).
2192    o pkg/thsice:
2193      - fix and simplify interface to salt_plume pkg ; diagnose directly amount of
2194        seawater freezing in thsice_calc_thickn (not used).
2195    o pkg/seaice: turbulent flux term specification via run time params.
2196      - replace CPP switches with run time switches to facilitate testing
2197      - retired CPPs : MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX,
2198                       GRADIENT_MIXED_LAYER_TURBULENCE_FACTOR
2199      - added runtime parameter : SEAICEturbFluxFormula
2200      - move Mcphee constants to SEAICE_PARAMS.h
2201      - seaice_readparms.F : read turbulent flux term params (SEAICEturbFluxFormula;
2202                 SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, or SEAICE_gamma_t/_frz if apply);
2203                 remove seaice_summary call (moved to seaice_init_fixed)
2204      - seaice_init_fixed.F : set SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz depending on
2205        SEAICEturbFluxFormula, and seaice_summary call (moved from seaice_readparms)
2206      - seaice_summary.F : add missing report of read turbulent flux term set up
2207                           and SITRACER.
2208      - seaice_check.F : check range; inform and stop if retired CPPs are used
2209                         (incl. SEAICE_AGE).
2210      - seaice_growth.F : unified use of SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, without
2211             CPP switch, same computation as before for the different options.
2212      - change results at the truncation level.
2213    o pkg/seaice:
2214      - remove un-used parameters LAD & MAX_TICE ; add new run-time parameters:
2215        useMaykutSatVapPoly (default=F), postSolvTempIter (default=2) and
2216        SEAICE_wetAlbTemp (default=-1e-3). Remove option SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
2217      - update verification/*/input*/data.seaice:
2218        to reproduce previous results with former #defined SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
2219        code, set useMaykutSatVapPoly=T & postSolvTempIter=0 ;
2220        and to reproduce previous results with former non-SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY code,
2221        set SEAICE_wetAlbTemp=0 & SEAICE_snowThick=0.
2222    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY):
2223      - remove LEGACY code for solving for tsurf (A1,A2,A3) but maintain the same
2224        algorithm (same choice: useMaykutPolySatVap=T, postSolvTempIter=0);
2225        difference in results only due to machine truncation.
2226      - remove MAX_TICE (tsurf is always =< TMELT anyway); keep MIN_TICE if using
2227        MaykutPolySatVap; keep MIN_LWDOWN.
2228      - adapt SEAICE_MODIFY_GROWTH_ADJ code (untested) to non-legacy formulation.
2229      - update output of verification exp. lab_sea (4 fwd: 11 cg2d digits except hb87,
2230        + 3 AD: 6 digits except evp) and offline_exf_seaice.seaice (12 digits).
2231    o pkg/salt_plume:
2232      - isolate saltPlumeFlux array exch into a specific S/R called from
2233        do_oceanic_phys.F
2234      - add interface to pkg/salt_plume (filling of saltPlumeFlux) in pkg/thsice.
2235    o verification:
2236      - move untested set-up to MITgcm_contrib/verification_other.
2237    o pkg/seaice:
2238      - retire old way of SEAICE_AGE. Now replaced with ALLOW_SITRACER.
2239    o pkg/seaice:
2240      - seaice_solve4temp.F (keeping results unchanged):
2241        * add 2 future run-time params to select which saturation vapor pressure
2242          formula is used and how post-iteration fluxes are set.
2243          Temporary set these 2 params according to option SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY;
2244        * New piece of code (not used) to update surf. atmos. heat flux F_ia using
2245          the linearized expression to stay consistent with tsurf finding.
2246      - seaice_freedrift.F avoid floating exception in sqrt(y) since y=sqrt(x*x)-x
2247        can be < 0.
2248    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY undef):
2249      - remove from F_ia (and from it's derivative dFiDTs1) the contribution of
2250        conductive heat flux F_c , and add it explicitly when updating tsurf as
2251        solution of: Fc = Fia + d/dT(Fia - Fc) *delta.tsurf
2252        so that now F_ia has a consistent meaning through the entire routine.
2253        This causes differences at truncation level: update output of fwd exp.
2254        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice.
2255    o pkg/seaice:
2256      - lots of editing/cleaning in seaice_solve4temp.F + better documentation
2257        of arrays, sign/direction of fluxes; no effect on results.
2258      - replace hard coded 273.16 (=previous value of celsius2K) by celsius2K
2259        in seaice_budget_ocean.F & seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY part);
2260        note: this should have been done before changing celsius2K default.
2261      - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
2262        exp. input*/data : lab_sea (AD), offline_exf_seaice (fwd+AD) & seaice_obcs
2263      - replace hard coded seawater freezing temp in seaice_solve4temp.F (part
2264        SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY) of 271.20 (=previous value of celsius2K + default
2265        value of SEAICE_freeze) by celsius2K+SEAICE_freeze so that seawater
2266        freezing temp is consistent with value in seaice_growth.F ; this causes
2267        differences at machine truncation level: update lab_sea AD output (3/4).
2268    o pkg/seaice:
2269      - mask (in exf_init_fixed.F) atemp,aqh,evap,precip,runoff,lwflx,areamask
2270        and climsst/sss even when using seaice (to prevent calculation that might
2271        use SST on land); does not affect any verification exp.
2272      - apply mask to taux,tauy (in seaice_get_dynforcing.F); update output
2273        of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 and global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix.
2274    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: add mask to avoid non-zero ice thickness
2275      over land (non-legacy code)
2276    o vectorize salt_plume package:
2277      - add extra code to salt_plume_frac and salt_plume_tendency_apply_s
2278      - this code computes plumebk everywhere (also over land), thus requires
2279        code to avoid divisions by zero and catch the case of kLev=Nr.
2280      - efficiency of salt_plume_frac is still sub-optimal
2281    o tools (genmake2):
2282      - fix makefile NAME specification (option: -makefile NAME) by adding
2283        "-f $MAKEFILE" in few places where it was missing including makedepend
2284        command (contribution from Paul).
2285    
2286    checkpoint63i (2012/01/24)
2287    o model/src:
2288      - add factorized versions of some EOS code to find_rho.F,
2289        define USE_FACTORIZED_EOS to turn it on (default for TARGET_NEC_SX)
