5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    checkpoint65k (2015/04/01)
8    o pkg/ecco:
9        fix missing cosphi initialization; use eccoiter in place of optimcycle;
10        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
11        instead of active read/write
12    o pkg/ctrl:
13        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
14        instead of active read/write.
15    o pkg/autodiff: make autodiff_readparms.F and autodiff_whtapeio_sync.F
16        return if .NOT.useAUTODIFF
17    o pkg/seaice: add CPP brackets (cost function related).
18    o model/src:
19        add useAUTODIFF run time switch.
20    o pkg/exf/exf_interp.F:
21        add code to allow input grids with latitude starting in the north (i.e. when
22        j=1 corresponds to northern edge of field); modify global_with_exf to test
23        this feature.
24    o verification/testreport:
25      - replace "grep -A3" with POSIX conformal sed command, because there are
26        implementations of grep that cannot do contextual searches
27      - replace "cat -n" by "nl" (two occurrences), because not all implementations
28        of "cat" have the option "-n"
29    o model/src:
30        add new file gsw_teos10.F that contains 3 functions, more or less a copy
31        of the gsw_toolbox.f90 of the TEOS-10 fortran interface, that are used to
32        convert from conservative to potential temperature. For now they are not
33        called anywhere.
34    o pkg/ggl90: make "useIDEMIX" useful
35      - re-organize code in s/r ggl90_calc a little to move computations that
36        are different for idemix into separate loops (changes verification
37        experiment idemix at truncation level, 12 digits remain -> updated)
38      - requires 2 new 2D fields KappaM, verticalShear
39      - make hFacI and recip_hFacI local 3D variables that are passed to
40        s/r ggl90_idemix
41      - fix and improve some comments
42    
43    checkpoint65j (2015/02/25)
44    o pkg/openad
45      - synchronize seawater.F with version in model/src: replace routine
46        body of sw_temp by calling sw_ptmp and fix/add a few comments.
47    o pkg/mnc:
48      - change default value of pickup_read/write_mnc params to FALSE
49        (since few features are missing in reading MNC pickup files).
50    o model/src:
51      - change default (background) vertical diffusivity for salt to be the
52        temperature (background) vertical diffusivity.
53      - change background vertical diffusivity in vertical mixing pkgs ggl90,
54        kl10, my82 and pp81 from temperature diffusivity to salinity diffusivity.
55        This makes ptracers default diffusivity (that uses salt diffKr) more
56        consistent with vertical mixing schemes.
57    o verification/testreport:
58      - fix typo in "-pcls" option ;
59      - put temp files in /tmp (instead of in local dir)
60      - add option "-ncad" to use genmake2 new option "-nocat4ad"
61      - allow to use "-j" option (for multi-procs make) for AD, OAD and TLM.
62    o pkg/ggl90 (idemix code):
63      - apply few fixes ; add some missing "_d 0" ; update output of exp.
64        global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
65    o OpenAD
66      - enable active file I/O and begin removal of work-around code
67        for OpenAD for handling control variables (memory vs. active files)
68      - new CPP options file OPENAD_OPTIONS.h
69      - revert to genarr2d gradient check for hs94.1x64x5
70      - (genarr3d tested by tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_tracer_adjsens)
71      - gentim2d works for halfpipe_streamice but not yet hs94.1x64x5
72    o tools/genmake2:
73      - add option for an alternative Makefile (from Martin) where multiple
74        source files are sent to TAF (instead of all in one file).
75    o pkg/ggl90: add IDEMIX (Olbers and Eden, 2013)
76      - code provided by Carsten Eden as an extension of ggl90
77      - so far the code is turned on within ggl90 by setting a CPP-flag at
78        compile time; a runtime flag implementation is not yet complete
79      - tested in new verification experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
80    o verification:
81      - reduce length of the AD test run by half for experiments
82        global_ocean.cs32x15 (std + thsice) and isomip
83      - enable active file I/O for OpenAD, adjust verifications accordingly
84      - halfpipe_streamice: change gradient check from genarr2d to gentim2d
85    o verification/testreport:
86      - fix two non-POSIX sed statements so that there are no error messages
87        on Mac OS X
88      - replace hostname -s with hostname | sed 's/\..*$//'
89    o model/src/seawater.F:
90      - simplify SW_TEMP to just calling SW_PTMP with P and PR exchanged
91        (following the matlab code), which would have avoided the bug caught
92        by Matt (see below) in the first place
93    o pkg/shelfice:
94      - implement alternative discretisation of quadratic drag (selectBotDragQuadr)
95        and true distance in no-slip BC (bottomVisc_pCell) similar to bottom-drag.
96      - fix sign of friction tendency (no-slip BC) and fix u,v drag for thin
97        ice-shelf case (i.e., within surface level).
98      - add config summary in shelfice_check.F
99      - remove global variable recip_SHELFICElatentHeat and replace by a local
100        variable recip_latentHeat
101      - introduce diagnostics for friction velocity uStar (in case of
102        SHELFICEuseGammaFrict)
103      - change verification experiment isomip.htd:
104        + start from pickup (as input_ad at nIter0=8640)
105        + start from SHELFICEmassFile instead of SHELFICEloadAnomaly file
106        + test SHELFICEuseGammaFrict = .TRUE.
107        + test SHELFICEadvDiffHeatFlux = .TRUE.
108    o model/src:
109      - fix bug (Thanks to Matt) in function SW_TEMP (to convert Pot.Temp to
110        in-situ Temp) and in routine SW_TEMP (in pkg/openad);
111        update output of experiments global_with_exf.yearly and isomip (all 6).
112    o pkg/shelfice:
113      - change setting of kTopC to also be zero where there is no ice-shelf.
114      - zero out surface forcing arrays (for now, for T & S + EmPmR) where
115        ice-shelf is.
116      - first attempt to get RealFreshWaterFlux effects: for now, only without
117        SHELFICEboundaryLayer ; not consistent if using synchronous time-stepping.
118    o pkg/seaice: add the option to prescribe a fixed thickness PDF
119      for thermodynamic calculations
120      - because of divisions of the type 7/7 not exactly equal to 1, this change
121        affects results of some verification experiments by up to 4 digits:
122        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice, lab_sea, lab_sea.fd, lab_sea.salt_plume,
123        seaice_obcs, seaice_obcs.seaiceSponge, seaice_obcs.tides
124        adjoint: lab_sea, lab_sea.noseaicedyn
125        -> updated
126    
127    checkpoint65i (2015/01/23)
128    o model/src:
129      - change units of frictionHeating field from W to W/m^2
130      - fix bug in frictional heating from stratospheric drag in
131        S/R ATM_PHYS_TENDENCY_APPLY_V
132      - with synchronous time-stepping: move resetting to zero of frictionHeating
133        field from load_fields_driver.F to thermodynamics.F ;
134      - add diagnostics for frictional heating.
135    o model/src & gmredi K3D:
136      - add frictionHeating field to pickup-files (for synchronous time-stepping)
137      - move ALLOW_EDDYPSI block out of DYNVARS.h and merge it into FFIELDS.h
138      - rename uMean,vMean --> uEulerMean,vEulerMean (+ change diagnostics name
139        and name in pickup file).
140      - fix arguments of few DIAGNOSTICS_FILL calls in gmredi_k3d.F
141    o model/src:
142      - move (from ini_forcing.F) initialisation of all arrays in header file
143        FFIELDS.h into new S/R ini_ffields.F ; this fix broken restart
144        (since Nov 2012) with option selectAddFluid=1.
145    o pkg/shelfice:
146      - change units (+ document) of newly added field "shelfIceMassDynTendency"
147      - upgrade from _RS to _RL shelficeMass & shelficeLoadAnomaly arrays.
148    o pkg/obcs: re-organize obcs_calc_stevens.F to prepare for passive tracers
149    o pkg/seaice: two new runtime parameters:
150      - SEAICE_cStar replaces the hard wired "20" in the strength formulation,
151        long overdue
152      - SEAICE_tensilFac: preparation for Koenig-Beatty+Holland (2012)
153        parameterization of tensil stress for fast ice (does not do anything yet)
154    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: left over from restricted addtive Schwarz method
155        for LSR: move checking overlaps out of JFNK-if-block
156    o pkg/atm_phys:
157      - move copy of grid and dynamical fields out of atm_phys_driver.F into
158        new S/R ATM_PHYS_DYN2PHYS.
159      - fix level height for Linear Free-Surf case (to be consistent with
160        fixed-in-time pressure levels).
161    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
162      - average bottomDragFld (ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL) from grid-cell center
163        to correct location (U & V point) in S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
164        update output (adm & tlm) of experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.bottomdrag.
165    o pkg/shelfice (u/v_drag):
166      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG;
167      - use SHELFICEDragLinear & SHELFICEDragQuadratic in shelfice_v_drag.F
168        (now similar to shelfice_u_drag.F)
169      - remove condition on bottomDragTerms when calling SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG
170        from mom_vecinv.F (similar to mom_fluxform calls).
171    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
172      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
173      - add options for alternative discretisation of velocity norm in quadratic
174        bottom drag: averaging of grid-cell-center KE to U.point and V.point
175        (selectBotDragQuadr=0, original code) can produce noisy patterns; this
176        improves when averaging only the other component (e.g. vVel for U bottom
177        drag) using wet-point method (selectBotDragQuadr=2) or not (=1).
178      - add options (bottomVisc_pCell) to account for partial-cell in bottom
179        friction (no-slip BC) thus getting the true distance from the bottom;
180        off by default since this also reduces model stability (explicit bottom
181        friction). Changes produce different machine truncation with linear-drag
182        + no-slip BC: update output of experiments exp4.stevens (10 digits) and
183        front_relax (bvp & mxl, 10 & 11 digits).
184    o model/src & mom pkgs:
185      - add one more level to vertical viscosity local arrays (Nr+1, previously Nr)
186        since no-slip bottom BC uses viscosity @ k+1 to update velocity @ level k
187      - for now and until vertical mixing scheme are updated to fill up level Nr+1,
188        just copy level Nr value to level Nr+1.
189    o doc:
190      - add notes form Abhisek Chakraborty on how to close Heat & Salt budgets.
191    o pkg/streamice:
192      - shelfice_init_varia.F, shelfice_init_fixed.F, shelfice_readparms.F,
193        SHELFICE.h: move array shelficemass to init_varia, initialise
194        from array shelficemassinit, which is set in init_fixed and
195        has option to be set from file; introduce array
196        shelficeMassDynTend array, set thru file in init_fixed
197      - NEW FILE: shelfice_step_icemass.F: update shelficemass from either
198        shelfIceFreshWaterFlux and shelficeMassDynTend or H_streamice in
199        pkg/streamice
200      - shelfice_thermodynamics.F: call shelfice_step_icemass if
201        SHELFICEMassStepping = .true.
202      - shelfice_ad_diff.list: add new subroutine shelfice_step_icemass.f
203    
204    checkpoint65h (2014/12/17)
205    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15, global_ocean_ebm:
206      - update to generic controls.
207    o pkg/ctrl:
208      - ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F: test for igen>0
209      - ctrl_init_variables.F: add call to CTRL_MAP_INI_GENTIM2D.
210      - move gentim2d part of ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F to
211        new separate routine : ctrl_map_ini_gentim2d.F
212      - ctrl_cost_driver.F,ctrl_init.F ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
213        add time variable weights and cyclic controls (time mean,
214        seasonal cycle, etc) capabilities to gentim2d
215    o pkg/ecco:
216      - move reading of error, conversion to weights from
217        ecco_cost_init_fixed.F to ecco_toolbox.F (ecco_readwei)
218    o global_oce_llc90, cs32:
219      - activte sbo.
220      - CTRL_SIZE.h : add maxCtrlProc.
221      - activate the new genctrl capabilities.
222      - update following reorganization of global_oce_input_fields.tar.gz  
223    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_ad_diff.list:
224      - add missing ctrl_init_rec.f
225    o tools/OAD_support/keepOriginal:
226      - add ctrl_init_rec.F
227    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
228      - avoid recomputations of xx_gentim2d_dummy.
229    o momentum diagnostics:
230      - move filling of diagnostics Um_Diss & Vm_Diss from mom_fluxform.F and
231        mom_vecinv.F to timestep.F (to include Smag-3D contribution).
232    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F:
233      - fix computation of BU/BV, make sure they are non-zero, only necessary
234        for cubed sphere exchanges and SEAICE_OLx/y>0.
235        This makes calling s/r fill_cs_corner_rl obsolete (removed).
236    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
237      - add test for strong implicit coupling and restricted addtive Schwarz
238        methods for LSR
239      - update results/output.seaice.txt
240    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
241      - AD & OAD set-up: switch off ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (like in fwd set-up)
242        and set PTRACERS_EvPrRn(1,2) to zero (for DIC & ALK);
243        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
244    o pkg/dic:
245      - change default to "#undef ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX" in DIC_OPTIONS.h
246      - add a stop when ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX is defined and PTRACERS_EvPrRn
247        for tracer 1 & 2 is set (to avoid double counting of dilution effect).
248    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
249      - AD & OAD set-up: do not set PTRACERS_EvPrRn for tracer 1 & 2 since
250        dilution is already added by pkg/dic ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX ;
251        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
252    o eesupp/src:
253      - add fill_cs_corner_rl.F (_RL-copy of fill_cs_corner_rs.F)
254        and call it in seaice_lsr when using nonzero SEAICE_OLx/y
255    o pkg/seaice: introduce strongly implicit coupling, intended for stabilizing
256      LSR (following Hutchings et al. 2004)
257      - introduce zetaZ as a global variable (requires adjustments in
258        seaice_evp.F and seaice_jfnk.F) and compute analoguously to etaZ
259        in seaice_calc_viscosities.F
260      - new flag SEAICEuseStrImpCpl (default off)
261      - add new terms zetaZ*du/dy and zetaZ*dv/dx on both sides of the
262        momentum equations
263      - JFNK-solver (preconditioner) adjusted to allow using this method
264        (where it does not have any positive effect)
265    o pkg/seaice
266      - add overlap for restrictive additive Schwartz method also to LSR, but
267        turn it off by default (because it only seems to work for non-cubed
268        sphere/llc topologies)
269    o pkg/autodiff
270      - add extra exchanges in addummy_in_steppging also for mnc output
271    o pkg/seaice:
272      - add extra exchanges before dumping adjoint fields in seaice_ad_dump.F
273        to avoid stripes in the adjoint output (similar to addummy_in_stepping.F)
274    o pkg/obcs:
275      - add option to specify domain-connected piece Id along OB though files
276        (for now, only used to diagnose PhiVel; default =1 -> global correction)
277      - modify obcs_diag_balance.F to process each connected-part separately;
278        exclude OB where Id = 0 but keep the full divergence there (-> constant
279        Psi along this portion of OB and all inflow derived from grad(Phi))
280      - add example of OB-conect files in verification/so_box_biogeo/input.
281    o pkg/diagnostics:
282      - improve treatment of Open-Boundaries in Velocity-Potential calculation:
283      a) use non zero matrix element across OB and solve for Phi 1 grid point
284         outside OB (i.e, where tracer OBCS are applied).
285      b) global imbalance of inFlow/outFlow across OB: instead of modifying
286         velocity across OB, spread it uniformly along the OB in the RHS.
287    
288    checkpoint65g (2014/11/19)
289    o pkg/diagnostcis:
290      - add preconditioner off-diagonal factor (diagCG_pcOffDFac) as run-time param
291    o pkg/my82,pp81,kl10:
292      - fix ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR implementation (previously had no effect): use 3-D
293        field diffKr as background diffusivity to set minimum diffusivity value.
294    o pkg/seaice:
295      - add new parameter SEAICEuseEVPrev (for revisited EVP by
296        Bouillon et al 2013)
297      - add SEAICE_evpAlpha/Beta to namelist
298      - modify seaice_evp code to able to use SEAICEuseEVPrev. These changes
299        involve trivial re-ordering of divisions/multiplications that should not
300        have any effects, but ... they do change the results of lab_sea.hb87 so
301        that only 2 digits of agreement remain, in line with the general
302        instability/fragility of the evp-code. For now, I do not care and just
303        update the verification experiment
304    o pkg/ctrl : add generic pre-processing (xx_genarr2d_preproc etc)
305      - remove xx_genarr2d_numsmooth etc
306      - use xx_genarr2d_preproc etc instead
307      - carry out smooth_correl2D at initialization stage rather than during
308        time stepping.
309      - get smoothOpNb from xx_gentim2d_preproc
310    o global_oce_cs32 :
311      - add test of generic ecco capabilities.
312    o pkg/exf/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F :
313      - add to tmpUE/tmpVN rather than re-initializing them (conventional behavior).
314    o pkg/ctrl,ecco :
315      - omit un-necessary arguments to ctrl_cost_gen.F unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED
316        is defined.
317    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for Delta (deformation parameter)
318    o model/src:
319      - when ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR is defined, add a Warning if any of the vertical
320        diffusivity (background) is specified but ignored.
321    o verification:
322      - in testreport, convert hostname to lower case for default output dir name
323    o model, pkg : add useCTRL, useECCO parameters (on/off run time switch).
324    o pkg/dic: add modifications from Hajoon:
325      - add iron sedimentation flux function of the flux of PO4 out of bottom layer
326      - light attenuation: add self-shading effect by climatological Chlorophyll
327        (read from file).
328    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F : fix cpp flags, so that code also
329        compiles when SEAICE_ALLOW_DYNAMICS is undefined
330    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now use separate
331        AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h, ECCO_OPTIONS.h rather than
332        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (i.e. replacing the deprecated, circumvoluted,
333        approach where CPP_OPTIONS.h includes an omnipotent
334        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h that superseeds pkgs '_OPTIONS.h').
335    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F : include GMREDI_OPTIONS.h where
336        ALLOW_3D_KAPGM, ALLOW_3D_KAPREDI (to be added later) belong.
337    o pkg/seaice/SEAICE_SIZE.h : replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC with ALLOW_AUTODIFF
338        to avoid needing AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h anytime SEAICE_SIZE.h is included
339        (it seems that THSICE_SIZE.h, PTRACERS_SIZE.h have the same issue...)
340    o model/src, pkg/smooth, profiles, salt_plume, seaice, exf, ecco, ctrl :
341      add ECCO_OPTIONS.h, AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h when needed
342      - ECCO_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ecco_cost.h, ecco.h
343      - AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h is needed when including tamc.h, tamc_keys.h
344      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ctrl.h, optim.h, etc
345    o pkg/ctrl,ecco,exf :
346      - remove variables associated with NON-generic costs,
347        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
348      - remove NON-generic NON-obcs controls,
349        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
350    o pkg/ctrl : added ctrl_local_params.h
351    o pkg/ecco : added ecco_local_params.h
352    o verification : added ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED to most as and oad
353        experiments, which will progressively be removed once the
354        experiments are revised to use only generic controls/costs.
355    
356    checkpoint65f (2014/10/13)
357    o pkg/ctrl, ecco, seaice : minor changes in headers
358    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now test generic
359        cost function and control capabilities added since checkpoint65c.

363        including ecco_zero, ecco_cp, ecco_cprsrl, ecco_diffmsk,
364        ecco_addcost, ecco_add, ecco_div, ecco_readbar.
365      - cost_gencal.F (new) : determine filnames and records.
366      - cost_genread.F, cost_generic.F : condense code using ecco_toolbox.

369      - cost_genread.F : rm un-necessary arguments, re-arrange args order.
370      - ecco_check.F, ecco_readparms.F : bring logic up to date (using_tpj,
371        using_ers, using_gfo, using_mdt is now only defined within gencost)
372    o pkg/ecco: extend generic cost capabilities
373      - pkg/ecco : added 3D gencost (ALLOW_GENCOST3D), added gencost
374        capabilities via gencost_preproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params),
375        gencost_posproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params), gencost_nrecperiod,
376        gencost_outputlevel arguments to cost_generic
377      - pkg/ecco/cost_genread.F (new) : interface between cost_generic
378        and active_read, making room for gencost_preproc to take effect.
379        Added preproc code ('climmon') to replace GENERIC_BAR_MONTH.
380      - pkg/ecco/cost_generic.F :
381        compute and store misfit maks*(model-data) in localdif that is
382        then used in cost and for output, output misfit if outlev.GT.0
383      - pkg/ecco/cost_averagesfields.F : depend on gencost_barskip
384        rather gencost_barfile for deciding whether to write barfile
385      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_driver.F : extract call to cost_profiles from cost_hyd
386      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_init_fixed.F : extract gencost weights from
387        ecco_cost_weights, re-activate ecco_summary, determine gencost_barskip
388      - pkg/ecco/ecco_summary.F : report gencost variables
389      - pkg/ecco/cost_gencost_customize.F : treat case of scatterometer costs
390    o pkg/sea/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h : add ALLOW_COST_ICE, ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA
391    o pkg/ecco: internal re-organization
392      - resolve un-necessary dependancies within pkg/ecco and to pkg/ctrl
393        (rm includes of optim.h and ctrl.h, replace optimcycle with eccoiter,
394        mv relevant variables definition from ecco_cost.h to ecco.h,
395        make sure gencost routines only include ecco.h)
396      - throughout : add missing CCP switches, rm unused variables,
397        and rm un-necessary CPP switches
398      - throughout gencost routines : replace modelstartdate with
399        gencost_startdate when needed
400      - cost_bp_read.F : use arguments, instead of common blocs
401        so that it can be used also by (new) cost_gencost_bpv4.F
402      - ecco_init_varia.F : initialize RHOsumGlob_0, VOLsumGlob_0
403      - ecco_phys.F : compute etanFull
404      - ecco_readparms.F : rename using_topex as using_tpj, add
405        bpv4-grace to gencost list, initialize added parameters
406      - ecco_summary.F : include SIZE.h needed for augmented ecco.h
407    
408    checkpoint65e (2014/09/28)
409    o pkg/obcs:
410      - replaced the just-added CPP options with run-time variables
411        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_PARAMS.h for details)
412    o pkg/obcs:
413      - add additional CPP options for sponge boundary layers
414        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_OPTIONS.h for details)
415    o pkg/atm_phys:
416      - implement simple (obliquity only, assuming circular planet orbit)
417        seasonal cycle for incoming insolation ; used when run-time parameter
418        "select_incSW" is set to 1 ; by default (=0), uses old unchanged formula.
419    o pkg/exf, pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl:
420      - add ctrlUseGen and .NOT.ctrlUseGen exclusive brackets
421      - activate gentim2d for xx_atemp,xx_aqh,xx_swdown,xx_lwdown,xx_precip
422      - implement gentim2d for xx_tauu, xx_tauv
423    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/ecco :
424      - fix and complement the generic controls implementation
425    o pkg/exf/exf_getclim.F, exf_getffields.F, exf_getsurfacefluxes.F,
426        pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F,
427        verification/hs94.1x64x5/code_ad/ctrl_map_gentim2d.F,
428        verification/hs94.1x64x5/code_oad/ctrl_map_gentim2d.F :
429      - add weight in CTRL_GET_GEN calls
430    o pkg/ctrl :
431      - ctrl_get_gen.F : add weight as input parameter, and apply
432        it directly rather than using smooth_correl2Dw (to be retired).
433      - ctrl_map_gentim2d.F : add wgentim2d in CTRL_GET_GEN call
434    o pkg/ctrl :
435      - introduce run time switch ctrlUseGen (in ctrl.h, ctrl_check.F,
436        ctrl_init_variables.F, ctrl_readparms.F, ctrl_summary.F)
437      - re-activate ctrl_summary (call in ctrl_init.F)

443      - add ctrl_cost_driver.F (replaces pkg/ecco/cost_genctrl.F)
444      - add ctrl_cost_gen2d.F (replaces pkg/ecco/cost_forcing_gen.F)
445    
446    checkpoint65d (2014/09/15)
447    o pkg/ctrl/CTRL_GENARR.h, ctrl_readparms.F :
448      - add xx_genarr2d_bounds,xx_genarr3d_bounds,
449        xx_genarr2d_numsmooth, xx_genarr3d_numsmooth
450    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F :
451      - remove compilation failure
452      - replace hard coded example
453      - use ctrl_map_ini_gen2D, 3D
454    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F :
455      - on/off switch based upon xx_genarr2d_weight,3d
456    o src/packages_init_variables.F :
457      - regroup pkg/estimation calls
458      - remove CTRL_MAP_INI, CTRL_MAP_INI_ECCO
459        (moved to ctrl_init_variables)
460    o cost/cost_init_varia.F :
461      - remove ecco_cost_init_varia
462        (moved to ecco_init_varia)

471      - remove seaice_ctrl_map_ini (mv to ctrl_init_variables)
472    o ecco/ecco_ad_diff.list :
473      - add ecco_init_varia.f
474    o ecco/ecco_init_varia.F
475      - new routine
476    o pkg/streamice:
477      - move call to STREAMICE_INITIALIZE_PETSC from the_model_main.F
478        to streamice_init_fixed.F ; fix setting of STREAMICEisOn.
479      - from model/src, only call pkg/streamice routines if useStreamIce is TRUE.
480    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
481      - fix bug causing negatives in GAD_SMOLARKIEWICZ_HACK, introduced 8/8/2014.
482    o pkg/exf:
483      - exf_getffields.F : add xxg_atemp, xxg_aqh, xxg_swdown, xxg_lwdown,
484         xxg_precip capability
485      - exf_wind.F : no need for ALLOW_WSPEED_CONTROL cpp switch
486    o pkg/ctrl:
487      - ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F : omit (un)packing of undefined xx_gentim2d
488    o model/src/load_fields_driver.F :
489      - move call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D ahead of BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD, EXF_GETFORCING
490        so xx_gentim2d can be applied to e.g. exf fields in a timely manner.
491    o OpenAD verification experiments:
492      - Include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h, and CTRL_OPTIONS.h
493        in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h);
494        for now, only in pkgs used in OpenAD verification experiments.
495      - Change all except one (halfpipe_streamice) OpenAD experiments to use pkg
496        specific option file (AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h & CTRL_OPTIONS.h)
497        instead of using ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (with all relevant options in it).
498        This applies to both TAF (*/code_ad/) and OpenAD (*/code_oad/) tests.
499    o OpenAD verification tests:
500      - finish removing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD (replaced by ALLOW_OPENAD);
501      - finish replacing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for
502        tape/storage which are specific to TAF/TAMC) in pkgs used in OpenAD exp.
503      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undef in OpenAD verification tests (*/code_oad/)
504        and remove local copy of "tamc.h" (needed only if ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC).
505    o model/src & generic_advdiff:
506      - change hard-coded loop-range in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T/S to set T & S
507        forcing over 0:sNx+1, 0:sNy=1 (instead of just 1:sNx,1:sNy): Model
508        dynamics requires valid tracer forcing only over tile interior but, for
509        some diagnostics, may need to extend it over 1 point in tile halo region.
510      - in gad_calc_rhs.F, update calls to gmredi_x/ytransport to get valid
511        tendency over i,j_Min,Max range. This allows to simplfy i,j_Min,Max
512        setting in temp/salt/ptracer_integrate.F
513    o pkg/dic:
514      - multiply tracer tendencies by maskInC (if ussing OBCS) before updating
515        gchem tracers: this allows to skip the 2nd call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER
516        in gchem_forcing_sep.F
517    o pkg/autodiff & obcs:
518      - add storage of current OB values for U & V (was already done for T & S).
519    
520    checkpoint65c (2014/08/30)
521    o pkg/dic:
522      - take out of dic_atmos.F the initialisation part (corresponding to istate=0)
523        and move it to new S/R DIC_INI_ATMOS ; also simplify the dependencies for
524        AD compilers (but still a Pb with multi-threading and Ajoint dependencies).
525    o verification:
526      - new experiment testing OBCS and DIC pkgs, using params & output from
527        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo but limited to a sub-domain around Drake
528        passage: take OBCS from the last year of a 2 yrs simulation and initial
529        conditions from t=1.yr while keeping the same forcing.
530    o model/src:
531      - when allowFreezing=T, only reset below freezing initial Temp to Tfreezing
532        (at any k) if checkIniTemp is not set to FALSE (default checkIniTemp=T).
533    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
534      - re-write S/R DIAGSTATS_CALC (more similar to TARGET_NEC_SX part) to:
535        a) refine region where stats are computed, excluding where arrhFac=0 ;
536        b) fix missing interior mask (use with OBCS) in 3-D fields statistics;
537        c) extend regional stats over the region edges (for U or V pt location).
538    o pkg/gchem:
539      - add a (2nd) call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER in gchem_forcing_sep.F (needed since
540        pkg/dic is currently changing/updating ptracers values beyond the OB).
541    o verification (hs94):
542      - convert Held & Suarez external_forcing.F (from hs94.cs, with Sigma-coords
543        bits) to apply_forcing.F and undef USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING in experiments
544        hs94.cs-32x32x5 and tutorial_held_suarez_cs ; also use the same version of
545        apply_forcing.F in 2D hs94 (fwd, ad & oad) but keep LatLon hs94 unchanged.
546    o pkg/ptracers:
547      - implement Adams-Bashforth on pTracers (instead of on tracer tendency),
548        switched on by setting PTRACERS_doAB_onGpTr=F (default set to doAB_onGtGs)
549      - change exp4 secondary test (input.nlfs) to test AB on T & S & pTracer
550        with AB-2 code (so that it get tested).
551    o model/src:
552      - allow to apply Adams-Bashforth on Temp & Salt (instead of on gT,gS)
553        with AB-2 code (previously only available with AB-3 code).
554        Also move the code (call to ADAMS_BASHFORTH S/R) form thermodynamics.F
555        to temp/salt_integrate.F (since the 2nd part of gt/sNm1 update is done
556        there, by calling CYCLE_AB_TRACER).
557    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
558      - change Tracer argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R GAD_CALC_RHS,
559        GAD_C2_ADV_R, GAD_U3_ADV_R, GAD_C4_ADV_R, GAD_DIFF_R, GAD_BIHARM_R
560        + also in GMREDI_X/Y/RTRANSPORT ; and update corresponding calls in
561        S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
562    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
563      - remove common block variables gT,gS (in DYNVARS.h), except when
564         USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING is defined; update TAF storage accordingly.
565      - remove common block variable gPtr.
566    o model/src & pkgs:
567      - change gTracer (and/or tracer) argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R
568         ADAMS_BASHFORTH(2&3), CYCLE_(AB_)TRACER, FREESURF_RESCALE_G,
569         IMPLDIFF, SOLVE_TRIDIAGONAL & _PENTADIAGONAL, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
570         GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_CALC_RHS, GAD_IMPLICIT_R, TIMEAVE_CUMUL_DIF_1T
571      + change accordingly all calling S/R.
572      - use local temperature/salinity/ptracer tendency array (without bi,bj)
573        in S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
574    o pkg/seaice:
575      - move computation of stress contributions to rhsU/V in s/r seaice_lsr
576        to separate s/r seaice_lsr_rhsu/v in order to be able to re-use code
577      - make u/vIceC local variables if SEAICE_CGRID is defined only to be used
578        in seaice_lsr
579      - seaice_lsr.F: make local 4D arrays UXX, VYY, etc 2D
580        in s/r seaice_lsr_calc_coeffs
581    o pkg/mdsio:
582      - in MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD, stop if file-name (+prefix) is too long
583        (e.g., > MAX_LEN_MBUF -90 ) or, in INI_MODEL_IO, if mdsioLocalDir is
584        too long (e.g., > MAX_LEN_FNAM/2 )
585    
586    checkpoint65b (2014/08/12)
587    o pkg/matrix:
588      - pass, as argument, updated tracer field to S/R MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP
589    o model/src:
590      - fix initialisation of geothermalFile; compile geothermal-flux code in
591        natl_box verification experiment.
592    o model/src & pkg/down_slope:
593      - push the k loop inside S/R TIMESTEP_TRACER (now called outside the k loop).
594      - in dwnslp_apply.F, update tracer tendency instead of the future tracer
595        field and call S/R DWNSLP_APPLY before TIMESTEP_TRACER; this affects
596        results at machine truncation level: update output of experiments
597        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp (FWD) and lab_sea.noseaicedyn (AD).
598    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
599      - do not cumulate the full volume when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is
600        called with bibjFlg < 0 (no increment of the counter for 2D/3D diag);
601        This fix the mean statistics when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is called multiple
602        times (but Min,Max and StD are still wrong).
603    o model/src:
604      - add geothermal flux forcing: read in ini_forcing.F as time-constant
605        field "geothermalFlux" applied in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T (apply_forcing.F)
606    o model/src:
607      - move CYCLE_TRACER calls from tracers_correction_step.F to temp/salt/ptracer
608        _integrate.F so that, when leaving S/R THERMODYANMICS, theta,salt and pTrac
609        arrays are already updated while adjustments (filters, conv.adjustment) are
610        still applied later, in S/R TRACERS_CORRECTION_STEP.
611    o model/src:
612      - store in common bloc array "rhoInSitu" the virtual potential temperature
613        anomaly that is used to compute geopotential: this make the atmos code
614        more similar to ocean code which already uses rhoInSitu in calc_phi_hyd.F
615    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
616      - rename integer variable ilcall to ipass (that's what it is called
617        in the residual diagnostics
618      - change time stepping for NPSEUDOTIMESTEP > 2 (does not change the
619        default) for improved non-linear convergence of the first few steps
620      - adjust a few comments and add new ones to explain some of the store
621        directives
622    o pkg/generic_advdiff (& ptracers):
623      - re-work the code to check for valid advection scheme and for minimum
624        size of overlap (now stored in local common bloc in gad_advscheme.F)
625    o pkg/seaice: another attempt to make the adjoint work for sea ice dynamics
626      - re-initialize more variables in seaice_lsr: u/vIceC, u/vIceNm1
627      - add an auxilliary variable "bet" and fix store directives and keys in
628        seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, this seems to do the trick (i.e. more or
629        less exact gradients in my tests); but there are still
630        recomputation warning (although gradients are sort of OK), when
631        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE is not defined, so this flag and
632        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA are recommended for efficiency.
633      - update verification experiments lab_sea.
634      - change some comments in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
635    o model/src:
636      - if staggerTimeStep=T, always apply exchange to velocity field in
637        do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F instead of in do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F
638        (independent of using multi-dim advection or not); no effect on FWD run
639        but affects AD results (at machine truncation level): update output of
640        experiment 1D_ocean_ice_column (ad: 12 digits), hs94.1x64x5 (ad,oad: 13.d)
641        and isomip (oad: 12.d).
642    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
643      - stop if doAB_onGtGs is set to FALSE but ignored
644      - refine warning related to stability of tracer time-stepping
645        regarding internal wave dynamics.
646      - setting of AdamsBashforth_T,S when doAB_onGtGs=F: remove condition
647        on staggerTimeStep & implicitIntGravWave (will now get a warning
648        if potentially unstable).
649    o pkg/kl10:
650      - add new pkg "kl10" for mixing due to internal wave breaking, from
651        http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1463500310000144
652        (contribution from Jody Klymak), tested in verification experiment
653        verification/internal_wave/input.kl10/
654    o isomip experiment:
655      - test pkg/shelfice with Non-Lin Free-Surf in one of the FWD set-up
656        (input.htd) and update the output.
657    o cd_code experiments:
658      - use default cd_code options (#undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM &
659        #undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_CORIOLIS) in experiments: cfc_example (fwd)
660        global_ocean.90x40x15 (ad & oad) and OpenAD (ad & oad) and
661        update the corresponding output.
662    o pkg/seaice:
663      - reduce the number of include files and store directives in
664        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
665      - change the order of loops in one case in S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv
666        (only for SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA defined), which allows me to
667        get rid off one store directive (a TAF bug?)
668      - add one more instance of ifdef SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in
669        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv to change the loop range for consistency
670      - remove ilcall, m from parameter list of S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
671      - fix a bug that affects the JFNK solver: replace sNx/y by i/jMax in
672        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v (requires update of
673        offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk)
674    
675    checkpoint65a (2014/07/27)
676    o model/src:
677      - Non-Lin Free-Surf in p/z coords: allows hFacW,S to be larger than
678        surrounding hFacC=1 @ edge of a step with different kSurfC on either side
679        (topo in p-coords, ice-shelf in z-coords); update output of experiments
680        tutorial_global_oce_in_p and isomip (both AD and OpenAD output).
681    o model/src:
682      - collect momentum forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
683        to apply_forcing S/R); this simplifies mom. Forcing diagnostics and CD_CODE
684        parts in timestep.F (without CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM defined = the default);
685        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., if using OBCS_SPONGE).
686      - collect T & S forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument to
687        apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for temp & salt forcing tendency.
688        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., ocean: if using
689        SHORTWAVE_HEATING ; atmos: if using FrictionHeating or (atm_Rq<>0) moist
690        correction due to vertical advection).
691      - update output of experiments: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (13 digits),
692        global_ocean.cs32x15 (fwd: icedyn, seaice, thsice, all 3 @ 11d; adm & tml:
693        seaice_dynmix & thsice, fwd grd @ 3 & 8), hs94.1x64x5 (ad grd @ 13),
694        obcs_ctrl (ad & fwd grd @ 12 & 7).
695    o pkg/ptracers & diagnostics:
696      - use ptracers (short) name (instead of long one) to make ptracers diagnostics
697        title (to avoid some unexpected truncation); sort out ptracers diags units.
698      - collect ptracer forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
699        to apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for ptracers forcing tendency.
700    
701    checkpoint65 (2014/07/18)
702    o pkg/fizhi:
703      - add parenthesis around fizhi tendencies in fizhi_tendency_apply.F: this
704        affects results at machine truncation level. Update output of experiments
705        fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (12 digits for cg2d) & fizhi-cs-aqualev20 (13 digits).
706    o pkg/seaice: more clean up
707      - rename TAF common block tapes to be more consistent and remove
708        unnecessary duplicates
709      - add store directives to remove more recomputations, but use smaller
710        tapes (and adjust keys) when SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undefined.
711        The idea behind this flag is to reduce the memory footprint when the
712        adjoint of the LSR is not required. As of now, defining the flag
713        SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER increases 4 common block tapes for 2D field by
714        a factor of SOLV_MAX_FIXED (=500 by default in SEAICE_SIZE.h).
715        For experiment offline_exf_seaice, this means on a linux box with gfortran
716        nearly a factor of 10 (but keep in mind there is mostly seaice code in
717        this experiment):
718        > size mitgcmuv_ad
719        text    data        bss     dec        hex
720        5100659 1216  220458952  225560827  d71c8fb
721        5339425 1200 1868783272 1874123897 6fb4dc79 (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
722        but only a moderate increase of 36% for global_ocean.cs32x15:
723        text    data        bss     dec        hex
724        6695027 1648 1014578664 1021275339 3cdf6ccb
725        6695203 1648 1382505320 1389202171 52cd8afb (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
726      - note: there are still recomputations in global_ocean.cs32x15 and
727        offline_exf_seaice and the gradient agreement changes (gets a
728        little worse) for global_ocean.cs32x15 (-> update output_adm.seaice.txt)
729      - in general, the AD gradients still are wrong
730    o OpenAD
731      - clean up code_oad/ directories somewhat by moving files
732        dontCompile, dontTransform, keepOriginal to OAD_support/
733    o model/src:
734      - using MOM fluxform and Non-Lin Free-Surf with momDissip_In_AB=F
735        (not currently tested): add dissipation terms before NLFS rescaling of
736        tendencies (previously done after).
737    o pkg/diagnostics:
738      - write stats-diags in ascii file with more digits (same as in monitor).
739    o pkg/down_slope:
740      - drop the bi,bj dimension of argument recip_hFac in S/R DWNSLP_APPLY; with
741        NLFS (not tested), use new recip_hFac value in order to conserve tracer.
742    o model/src:
743      - new file "apply_forcing.F" containing all the code previously in
744        external_forcing.F, but with new argument list: pass, as new argument,
745        the current level tendency array to update (instead of a direct update
746        of the common bloc array). Change the corresponding calls.
747      - add CPP option USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING (default is undef) to use
748        EXTERNAL_FORCING_U,V,T,S subroutines (for backward compatibility).
749    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr, a little bit of clean up
750      - rearrange some code blocks, so that now all calculations for
751        setting up the right-hand-sides done within one single block
752        (I find that easier to read and understand)
753      - rearrange freedrift-code to reduce the number of ifdefs
754      - adjust some indentations and comments
755    
756    checkpoint64z (2014/07/10)
757    o model/src and several pkgs:
758      - change argument list of all S/R called from external_forcing.F and
759        called from ptracers_forcing.F (renamed to ptracers_apply_forcing.F)
760        to pass, as argument, the current level tendency array to update
761        (instead of a direct update of the common bloc array).
762      - change also (in the same way) argument list of PTRACERS_APPLY_FORCING;
763      - rename taueddy_external_forcing.f to taueddy_tendency_apply.F
764    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
765      - always initialize local arrays in seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
766      - add more local tapes to seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
767      - move storing u/vice(:,:,bi,bj) out of seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, but
768        keep it in bi/bj loop; this seems to be essential
769      - gradients are still wrong but only by 4-7 orders of magnitude
770        instead of 15 orders of magnitude, lab_sea improves a little
771    o pkg/seaice
772      - (pkg/autodiff) remove storing/restoring of seaiceMaskU/V that
773        generates unnecessary code in seaice_lsr_ad
774      - add more store directives in seaice_lsr to avoid unnecessary code
775        in seaice_lsr_ad
776      - exclude some residual computations in seaice_lsr when
777        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC is defined in order to avoid unnecessary code
778        in seaice_lsr_ad
779      - add more storing, a new tape (model/src/the_main_loop.F) and
780        another key for SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA (the local keys ilockey
781        and klockey should be checked by a specialist)
782      - modify ( define SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER )
783        and update lab_sea after previous changes in pkg/seaice below
784    o pkg/autodiff:
785      - introduce useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode, SEAICEapproxLevInAd, and
786        viscFacInAd : run time parameters allowing for adjoint switches
787        note : logic for useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode is in ctrl_readparms.F
788    o pkg/ecco:
789      - introduce cost_gencost_boxmean.F that computes a box mean
790        temperature (for use in adjoint sensitivity studies).
791    o model/src/set_defaults.F : initialize viscFacAdj to 1.
792    o pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_visc.F:
793      - ifdef ALLOW_AUTODIFF then include viscFacAdj factor.
794    o pkg/seaice/seaice_summary.F:
795      - statement for SEAICEadjMODE now in autodiff_readparms.F
796    o pkg/seaice:
797      - remove some store directives and add new ones in an effort to get
798        finally rid off the recomputation warnings. This is successful
799        when SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR ***and*** SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER are
800        defined (i.e. no extensive recomputation warnings left), but there
801        are still too many recomputations on the solver iteration level
802      - define SEAICE_VECTORISZE_LSR in offline_exf_seaice/code_ad/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
803      - move definition of MPSEUDOTIMESTEPS into TAMC-block in
804        SEAICE_SIZE.h
805      - add a store directive in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
806    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
807      - fix definition of Hlimit for multi-threaded case
808      - use double precision arithmetic to compute Hlimit: this affects results;
809        update output of experiment seaice_itd.
810    o replace content of verification/seaice_itd
811      - instead of a 1D column use the configuration of offline_exf_seaice
812        to test the ice thickness distribution code with ridging
813      - this is a first shot at this experiment
814      - change of some defaults of ridging parameters SEAICEhStar (from
815        100 to 25) and SEAICEmuRidging (from 5 to 3) in seaice_readparms.F
816        and lot of new comments.
817    
818    checkpoint64y (2014/06/20)
819    o pkg/seaice/seaice_reg_ridge.F:
820      - modify the regularization of very small volumes of ice; only check
821        total volume HEFF, and do not apply correction to individual ice
822        classes because that leads to funny patterns in the heat and fw-fluxes
823        into the ocean. Adjust seaice_itd/results/output.txt
824      - replace nITD by SEAICE_multDim in loop-ranges
825    o pkg/exf:
826      - add code to process the case field period = -12. with UV interpolation.
827      - move debug print (formerly active when exf_verbose=T) from EXF_getFFieldRec
828        into S/R that calls it (i.e., exf_set_gen.F, exf_set_uv.F & obcs_exf_load.F)
829    o verification/global_with_exf:
830      - switch all fields period to -12. (was previously untested) in input/data.exf
831        (but keep secondary test ".yearly" unchanged); update the reference output.
832    o pkg/cal:
833      - new calendar type "noLeapYear" for 365 days calendar without any leap year.
834    o pkg/exf:
835      - new integer parameter "exf_debugLev" (default set to main model debugLevel)
836        to replace logical switch "exf_verbose"
837      - report in STDOUT when loading a new record (if exf_debugLev >= 3)
838    o pkg/sbo:
839      - update from Katherine Quinn: evaluate mass directly from density and SSH
840        (budget using Finite Volume method) instead of from bottom pressure.
841      - allow testreport to collect few selected SBO output ; tested in exp.
842        global_ocean.90x40x15 (after updating the results, to include SBO output).
843      - fix some multi-threading issues (in output part).
844    o model/src & most packages:
845      - always call {PKG}_READPARMS even if corresponding use{PKG}=F;
846      - in {PKG}_READPARMS, in case use{PKG}=F: add a call to new S/R
847        PACKAGES_UNUSED_MSG to print a weak warning when parameter file
848        "data.{pkg}" exist ; and leave the S/R (return) just after.
849      - more standard LAND pkg interface (land_init_fixed.F, land_check.F).
850        + call LAND_READPARMS from packages_readparms.F
851    o pkg/seaice:
852      - remove code that resets useThSice in S/R seaice_readparms and
853        replace it by a warning in S/R seaice_check
854      - remove parameter MULTDIM, replace with nITD and runtime
855        parameter SEAICE_multDim (still hard-wired to nITD if
856        SEAICE_ITD is defined)
857    
858    checkpoint64x (2014/05/24)
859    o verification/lab_sea:
860      - update adjoint and TLM output following changes to pkg/salt_plume
861      - un-do the update after putting back local recip_Cp in few places.
862    o pkg/salt_plume: modifications by An Nguyen:
863      - add capability to do brine rejection (salt-plume) as function of
864        volume+tracers (instead of only salinity tracer).
865      - conserve volume by exchanging volume from each kLev to above to
866        accommodate in-coming brine volume
867      - store surface and klev exchanged fraction + volume in 4 new 3-d arrays
868      - switch KPP surf buoyancy due to brine forcing to 3-d
869        (3 more 3-d arrays, 2 for SPforcing[T,S], 1 for boplume)
870      - add salt_plume_volfrac, salt_plume_apply, salt_plume_tendency_apply_t
871      - unrelatedly, also add ad-hoc capability to vary salt_plume scheme
872        in East/West Arctic.
873    o pkg/sbo:
874      - incorporate modifications from Katherine Quinn to enable the use of sbo
875        pkg in ECCO-v4 set-up ; remove SBO-TimeAve output ; add monitor-like
876        output for future testreport verification (unfinished).
877    o pkg/atm_phys:
878      - change diagnostics (AtPh_Trf & AtPh_Qrf) of DARGAN_BETTSMILLER S/R:
879        skip the reseting of t_ref & q_ref to initial t & q ; this preserve the
880        output of S/R CAPECALCNEW (Parcel temp & q) for diagnostics.
881    o pkg/seaice
882      seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: modify expression to avoid divisions
883        (affects truncation)
884      seaice_do_ridging.F: clean up the insectarium
885      - fix a bug that was compensated by areaScaling (-> remove areaScaling code)
886      - added SEAICEsnowFracRidge to redistributed snow (2nd bug)
887      - set closing/openingRate to zero where no extra iteration is need (3rd bug)
888      - add some debugging information and error messages (warnings)
889    o model/src: modifications relatd to atmosphere p*:
890      - Switch to more accurate p* coordinate slope term (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F)
891      - With p* or Sigma-P, use constant reference Pot.Temp (thetaConst) instead
892        of vertical profile tRef in geopotential background and anomaly.
893      - Acount for true p* correction in theta <-> T conversion in pkg/aim_v23
894        and pkg/atm_phys.
895      - Update FWD output of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
896        fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, tutorial_held_suarez_cs, cpl_aim+ocn.
897    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in seaice_prepare_ridging.F, forgot a sqrt
898    o pkg/ptracers: compute ptracer source/sink due to linear free surface.
899        not used right now, but can be used in BGC packages to fix conservation.
900    o pkg/dic, pkg/gchem: move tracer_meanarea to gchem, so it can be used by
901        other packages too.
902    o pkg/seaice/seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: replace SEAICE_rhoSnow by
903        SEAICE_rhoIce in the Rothrock (1975)-type strength calculations (bug fix)
904    o model/src:
905      - since we have several heat capacity (even in model/src), define "recip_Cp"
906        as local variable (no longer in common block) to avoid any confusion.
907      - add thetaConst in PARAMS.h (to be used with pStar or sigma-P coords).
908    o pkg/exf:
909      - from Jeff Scott: add option (#define EXF_CALC_ATMRHO) to calculate local
910        air density as function of air Temp, Humidity and atm pressure.
911    
912    checkpoint64w (2014/05/02)
913    o verification:
914      - update output_adm.txt files for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15 (seaice &
915        seaice_dynmix) and lab_sea (primary test & noseaicedyn): moving/changing
916        code from seaice_growth.F & seaice_advdiff.F to new ridging routines
917        seaice_reg_ridge.F seaice_do_ridging.F affects AD gradient
918        (down to 8-7 matching digits for global_ocean and 5-6 for lab_sea).
919    o model/src: for atmosphere in p* coords:
920      - store factor rStarFacC**atm_kappa (= pStarFacK) in common block
921      - implement more accurate p* coordinate slope term (in calc_grad_phi_hyd.F),
922        but not yet activated.
923    o pkg/seaice: fix restart problem for ITD with new ice strength parameterisation:
924      - move computation of opnWtrFrac = 1-AREA to before computing ice strength
925      - this changes the results (but not for any verification experiment, because
926        none tests this), but avoids having an extra field in the restart files
927    o pkg/seaice: remove global variable TICE (not needed)
928      - replace by TICES or local variable where necessary (cost_seaice_test,
929        seaice_diagnostics_state)
930      - move copying TICE to TICES from seaice_check_pickup to seaice_read_pickup
931      - use specific read/write routines for reading and writing individual leves
932        of a multilevel field
933    o pkg/ctrl & model/inc:
934      - move additional anomaly fields of control vars (related to options:
935         ALLOW_KAPGM_CONTROL, ALLOW_KAPREDI_CONTROL and ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL)
936        from DYNVARS.h into new header file: CTRL_FIELDS.h
937    o pkg/seaice: some small modifications to the ridging code
938      - make fw2ObyRidge a global variable and add the freshwater flux to
939        seaice_growth
940      - pass actual thickness from seaice_prepare_ridging, so that it is
941        computed only in one place and compute it in the same way as in
942        seaice_growth
943      - initialise more fields in seaice_do_ridging that where cause floating
944        point exceptions over land
945    o pkg/seaice: preparations for ridging code and first real ridging code
946      - move most of "PART 1" of S/R seaice_growth into a new and separate
947        S/R seaice_reg_ridge that will both regularize the state variable after
948        advection call the actual ridging routine;
949      - requires to make 5 fields global fields: d_HEFFbyNEG,d_HSNWbyNEG,
950        d_AREAbyRLX,d_HEFFbyRLX,saltFluxAdjust;
951      - remove ridging code from seaice_advdiff
952      - clean up remaining part 1 of seaice_growth in an attempt to make it
953        more readable (this is probably subjective)
954      - call seaice_itd_redist once in the initialisation phase to have the initial
955        conditions in the correct category
956      - finally: add new ridging routine for ITD code
957    
958    checkpoint64v (2014/04/11)
959    o pkg/ecco:
960      - add runtime parameters mdt[start,end]date[1,2]
961      - rename variable "tpmean" as "mdt" and "topexmeanfile" as "mdtdatfile"
962    o pkg/seaice:
963      - make deltaC a global variable, so that it can be used in ridging code
964      - first step towards ridging: introduce new routines that compute
965        ice strength based on ridging parameters
966      - add diagnostic for HSNOWITD
967      - add opnWtrFrac as a global variable (required for ridging scheme)
968    o pkg/salt_plume + pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
969      - add SALT_PLUME_IN_LEADS flag to activate pkg/salt_plume only when ice
970        AREA exceeds a threshold (code contributed by I.Fenty in 2011)
971    o verification/hs94.1x64x5:
972      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undefined in code_oad/AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h
973      - do not use ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h anymore for TAF & OpenAD Adjoint tests.
974    o autodiff:
975      - Start to include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h,
976        and CTRL_OPTIONS.h in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h)
977        For now, only in pkgs used in verification/hs94.1x64x5.
978      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for tape/storage
979        which are specific to TAF/TAMC).
980      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD by ALLOW_OPENAD:
981        since ALLOW_OPENAD is defined in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h (any time pkg/openad
982        is compiled), this simplifies/reduces which *_OPTIONS.h file to include.
983      - OpenAD: change Makefile to generate the appropriate AD_CONFIG.h when
984        building mitgcmuv_ad (make adAll).
985    o pkg/ecco:
986      - cost_gencost_seaicev4.F:
987         reformulate proxy cost as function of sst and local param SEAICE_freeze
988         change cost names from siv4-[sst,vol] to siv4-[deconc,exconc]
989      - add stop statement if old names siv4-[sst,vol] are used
990      - add snapshots + cost reports for atmospheric longwave
991      - remove factor 0.1 in front of wtau[u,v]
992      - replace never used flag ALLOW_TMI_COST_CONTRIBUTION with
993         ALLOW_TMI_SST_COST_CONTRIBUTION
994    o pkg/atm_phys:
995      - add some diagnostics for Short-wave and for convection S/R.
996    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth:
997      - fix a bug in the lateral melt parameterization for SEAICE_ITD
998        in seaice_growth; tempFrz needs to be computed inside the i/j-loop
999      - rearrange loop order for better vector code in the same code block
1000      - rewrite the floeDiameter formula to have fewer divisions
1001      -  (miraculously) none of this changes the results of seaice_itd
1002    o pkg/smooth:
1003      - move param smooth2Ddiffnbt to pkg/ecco
1004    o pkg/salt_plume:
1005      - salt_plume_frac.F:
1006         clean up local param names
1007         reformulate (1-frac) to frac; original 1-frac was based on swfrac code
1008    o pkg/rw:
1009      - add RS version of S/R READ_MFLDS_LEV.
1010    o pkg/streamice:
1011      - fix the restart test by writing/reading pickup_streamice files.
1012    o pkg/seaice:
1013      - refine checks for jfnk-related parameters
1014      - comment out if statement with SEAICEuseIMEX parameter as long as there
1015        is no IMEX code to avoid confusion and surprises
1016    
1017    checkpoint64u (2014/03/07)
1018    o verification/MLAdjust:
1019      - rename secondary test suffix:
1020         1.leith  -> A4FlxF  + switch to flux-form & add side-drag
1021         0.leithD -> AhFlxF  + switch to flux-form
1022         0.smag   -> AhVrDv  (use Vorticity-Div. visc form) + add side-drag
1023         0.leith  -> AhStTn  (use Strain-Tension visc form) + add side-drag
1024    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
1025      - remove unused arguments from S/R MOM_VI_HDISSIP & MOM_HDISSIP (as it used
1026        to be before mom_calc_visc.F)
1027      - skip the call to MOM_CALC_TENSION & MOM_CALC_STRAIN if not needed.
1028      - add 2nd copy of vort3 & strain that knows about lateral BC (free/no slip):
1029        this is simpler for the adjoint and for diagnostics.
1030    o model/src + pkg/momentum:
1031      - add input files for  2-D additional Western and Southern cell-edge wall
1032         (e.g., to add "thin-wall" where it is =1).
1033      - fix sideDrag option for thin-walls with Non-Lin Free-Surf
1034        using 2nd hFacZ that is computed from initial (fix domain) hFac
1035      - known limitations of thin wall implementation: not yet coded for sigma
1036        coords; not working with CD-scheme neither.
1037    o pkg/seaice:
1038      - rename recently introduced parameters from (wrong name) AB to
1039        BDF (backward difference time discretisation)
1040      - retire runtime parameters SEAICEuseAB2, SEAICE_abEps
1041    o tools/adjoint_options:
1042      - remove setting of "OPENAD=true" (now set by command line "genmake2 -oad")
1043    
1044    checkpoint64t (2014/02/01)
1045    o pkg/ecco
1046      - add compile flag ALLOW_GENCOST_TIMEVARY_WEIGHT in ECCO_OPTIONS.h and
1047        runtime logical flag gencost_timevaryweight to read daily sea-ice sigma
1048      - replace hard-coded record number and period which only work for monthly
1049        with read-in runtime param that works for other periods (month,day,year)
1050    o pkg/thsice
1051      - corrected store directive fixes thsice adjoint gradient checks
1052    o genmake2 & testreport:
1053      - add genmake2 option "-oad" to generate a Makefile for OpenAD built and
1054        in this case, use tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad as default AD optfile.
1055        Update testreport accordingly. No need to set "export OPENAD=true"
1056        in adjoint_options/adjoint_oad anymore (will be removed later).
1057    o pkg/shelfice:
1058      - put T & S shelfice forcing into model surfaceForcing_T,_S (for now,
1059        only if SHELFICEboundaryLayer=F); Change model/src/external_forcing.F
1060        so that surface forcing applies to k=kSurf if using pkg/shelfice.
1061    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk, pkg/ecco:
1062      - Changes to make GENARR more modular (i.e. invisible if not used)
1063    o model/src/temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F
1064      - re-include store directives that were removed on Dec 27th.
1065    o model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
1066      - add storage directives for EmPmR and PmEpR to avoid recomputation of
1067        seaice_model in the adjoint that is problematic when seaice_model is
1068        turned off in the adjoint. The resolved issue dated back to July when
1069        EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF call was moved.
1070        Update global_ocean.cs32x15/*/output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt accordingly.
1071    o pkg/exf/exf_check.F
1072      - fix a small bug again (originally found by Wentao Liu, now found again)
1073      - streamline error output
1074    o pkg/streamice and aim_v23:
1075      - replace a few "_EXCH_XY_RL (" with "_EXCH_XY_RL(", so that
1076        Apple's /usr/bin/cpp knows what to do:
1077        Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
1078        Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
1079    
1080    checkpoint64s (2014/01/05)
1081    o tools/adjoint_options:
1082      - switch to fastopt.net TAF server (instead of default fastopt.de) for
1083        AD optfiles adjoint_diva & adjoint_f95 (similar to adjoint_default).
1084    o model/src:
1085      - remove some unnecessary TAF storage directives in forward_step.F and
1086        in dynamics.F (note: not always removed by TAF, e.g., double storage
1087        of kappaRU,kappaRV in former version of dynamics.F).
1088    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
1089      - call directly GAD_IMPLICIT_R & IMPLDIFF + DWNSLP_APPLY from temp_integrate.F
1090        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (instead of from thermodynamics.F)
1091        and remove ptracers_dwnslp_apply.F & ptracers_implicit.F
1092      - call MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP for each tracer (in ptracers_integrate.F)
1093      - add fZon & fMer as output argument of S/R GAD_CALC_RHS.
1094      - update TAF AD-output of experiments global_ocean.90x40x15 (13 for AD-grad).
1095    o useSingleCpuInput separates single-CPU input from single-CPU output;
1096        for now only implemented for in exf_interp_read.F
1097    o verification/advect_xy:
1098      - fix missing EXCH call in local version of ini_salt.F and update output.
1099    o momentum diagnostics:
1100      - fix which deltaT is used in Total-Tendency diagnostics.
1101      - fix typo in diagnostics for momentum tendency from AB.
1102    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: fix an initialisation bug for the
1103        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA option that lead to NaNs on a NEC-SX8
1104    
1105    checkpoint64r (2013/12/08)
1106    o verification/*/results:
1107      - Update reference output of experiments that were passing with just 13 digits
1108         (make it easier to detect future changes in results)
1109    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
1110      - move calls to GAD_ADVECTION (Multi-Dim advection) from thermodynamics.F to
1111        inside temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F and from ptracers_advection.F
1112        to inside ptracers_integrate.F ; remove ptracers_advection.F
1113    o coupling interface pkgs:
1114        [atm_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf & atm_ocn_coupler]
1115      - change the config check to test the agreement of Ocean Depth
1116        with ATM land/sea mask (instead of ATM orography);
1117      - send to coupler the number of coupler time-steps to do for this run:
1118        this allows to check for consistency and don't need anymore to be
1119        specified in parameter file "data";
1120      in coupler:
1121      - check consistency of RunOff map versus Ocean Depth and ATM land/sea mask.
1122      - improve report to log-file of config setting (pass log-file unit to few S/R)
1123    o pkg/compon_communic:
1124      - add coupling send/receive for non-tiled integer vector;
1125      - add S/R to check and stop if any proc has an error (similar to
1126        eesupp/src/stop_if_error.F but single thread and across Comm_World).
1127    o pkg/exch2:
1128      - in exch2*_get_rx[1,2]: use new list "W2_tileIndex" to replace search
1129        through list of all tiles my proc owns.
1130    o model/src:
1131      - AUTODIFF only: in calc_adv_flow.F, recompute rTransKp (instead of copying
1132        from rTrans) to simplify dependencies (no need to store rTrans anymore in
1133        calling S/R); this affects AD results at machine truncation level:
1134        update AD-output (TAF) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
1135        bottom_ctrl_5x5 & obcs_ctrl (12 digits for AD grad, same FWD grad).
1136    o tools/build_options:
1137      - simplify Warnings options (-ieee & -devel cases) in linux_amd64_gfortran
1138    o coupling interface pkgs:
1139        [compon_communic, atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf]
1140      - move declaration of local array "ibuf" out of header file "CPLR_SIG.h"
1141        to each S/R that needs it; remove un-used variables.
1142      - change component tile registration (cpl_register.F in both compon_interf
1143        and mitcomponent_tile_register.F) to pass the full list of tiles
1144        information (including bi,bj) in 1 vector (instead of in a bi,bj matrix).
1145      - with pkg/exch2: adopt the same convention used for I/O to define mapping
1146        towards coupler global array (unless W2_useE2ioLayOut=F):
1147         a) can now use different tiling between atm & ocn comp.
1148         b) no needs to modify the run-Off map when changing tiling (was needed
1149            even if using the same tiling between atm & ocn).
1150         c) will allow to run with blank-tiles in 1 component (e.g., for ocean
1151            full land tiles); not yet tested.
1152      - check for valid mapping from comp. tile to coupler global array
1153      - improve report of tile registration results to log file.
1154    o pkg/exch2:
1155      - in eesupp/src/eeboot.F: move call to W2_EEBOOT before Coupler
1156        tile-registration (CPL_REGISTER);
1157      - activate (un-comment) definition and setting of "W2_tileIndex" list to
1158        store the local bi,bj indices of each tile;
1159      - also print bi,bj in local report to log file;
1160      - fix pkg/debug/debug_cs_corner_uv.F for the case nSy > 1 (left from
1161        Jun 2009 modif of pkg/exch2).
1162    o testing on baudelaire:
1163      - run 2 tests at a time: no significant slow down (since enough cpu) and
1164        get the full set of test done earlier
1165      - switch the ifort test to "-devel" ; run the OpenAD test everyday.
1166    o model/src/thermodynamics.F and routines called from it:
1167      - pkg/gmredi: gmredi_residual_flow.F (replacing gmredi_calc_uvflow.F &
1168        gmredi_calc_wflow.F) to update eulerian velocity (input) into residual
1169        velocity (outp) by adding bolus velocity.
1170      - model/src: calc_adv_flow.F (replacing calc_common_factors.F) to compute
1171        mass transport from velocity + lateral grid cell area
1172      - rename calc_gt.F to temp_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
1173      - rename calc_gs.F to salt_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
1174     in thermodynamics.F
1175      - remove k from thermodynamics.F and move it to temp_integrate.F
1176        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (now done inside the tracer
1177        loop).
1178      - compute locally (in thermodynamics.F) 3-D velocity field that is used to
1179        advect tracers; pass it as argument to GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
1180        PTRACERS_ADVECTION, TEMP_INTEGRATE, SALT_INTEGRATE, PTRACERS_INTEGRATE,
1181        GAD_IMPLICIT_R and PTRACERS_IMPLICIT
1182      - update AD-output (TAF & OAD) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
1183        global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and
1184        tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ TLM output).
1185    o tools/OAD_support and (verification/*/) code_oad:
1186      - OAD_support/cb2mGetModules.csh: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in header file to
1187        module conversion ; remove unneeded CPP_EEOPTIONS.h.
1188      - code_oad/CPP_OPTIONS.h: remove PACKAGES_CONFIG.h and use a more standard
1189        version (closer to model/inc/CPP_OPTIONS.h).
1190    o model/src:
1191      - remove parameter "useOldFreezing" from PARAMS.h and push it to the
1192        retired list of parameters (routine FREEZE has been replace by surface
1193        freezing (10.yrs ago) and by pkg/frazil (interior freezing).
1194    o pkg/gmredi:
1195      - add option (GM_CALC_TRANSP_FROM_VEL) to compute transport directly from
1196        velocity (same scheme but affects machine truncation) for GM_AdvForm.
1197      - update output of FWD experiments: front_relax.bvp,
1198        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp, global_ocean.cs32x15 and ideal_2D_oce.
1199    
1200    checkpoint64q (2013/11/17)
1201    o verification:
1202      - generate new output on baudelaire (gfortran, -ieee) for OpenAD experiments
1203        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and global_ocean.90x40x15.
1204      - generate new output (growth & melt) for seaice_itd experiment after
1205        updating the input pickup_seaice files (previously wrong).
1206    o pkg/cost:
1207      - define a "final cost function" for each tile, and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
1208        (instead of _GLOBAL_SUM_RL) to get the final cost from all procs & threads:
1209        o this fixes global-sum value if multi-threads (since GLOBAL_SUM_RL
1210          cannot be applied to var in common block).
1211        o allows to get results independent of tile-per-proc setting (if using
1212          slower GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV option).
1213      - update accordingly: seaice_cost_final.F, shelfice_cost_final.F,
1214        thsice_cost_final.F and ecco_cost_final.F (this one affects lab_sea
1215        forward gradients: update output).
1216      - update */code_oad/externalDummies.F by adding dummy GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
1217        S/R and, for most exp., also comment out GLOBAL_SUM_R8.
1218    o pkg/mom_common:
1219      - move to pkg/mom_common and model/src (previously in tutorial_deep_convection
1220        code) 2nd version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code interface: strain and
1221        viscosity are locally declared in dynmics.F and pass as argument to CALC_GW;
1222        ensure that all field value that are used are set.
1223    o tutorial_deep_convection (smag3d):
1224      - add missing scaling in mom_calc_smag_3d.F;
1225      - set smag3D_coeff in input.smag3d such that results do not change.
1226    o pkg/dic:
1227      - change dic_cost.F to compute cost on each tile first and then apply
1228        GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL: this affects forward gradient of AD experiments
1229        tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo; update output.
1230      - remove kLev argument and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL in tracer_meanarea.
1231    o eesupp/src & pkg/mdsio:
1232      - remove gather/scatter_vector.F (from eesupp) and mdsio_read/writevector.F
1233        (from pkg/mdsio) since they are no longer used for tape IO.
1234      - move simple C subroutine "setdir.c" from pkg/compon_communic to eesupp/src
1235        (+ keep a copy in pkg/atm_ocn_coupler).
1236    o verification/isomip:
1237      - split domain in 8 squared tiles (instead of just 2) for FWD, AD & OAD tests.
1238    o tools/build_options:
1239      - optfile linux_amd64_ifort11, fast (no ieee) case:
1240        to get a working restart for all experiments, add "-fp-model source"
1241        to FOPTIM (also remove "-opt-streaming-stores auto" <- this is the default).
1242    
1243    checkpoint64p (2013/10/20)
1244    o pkg/autodiff:
1245      - adread_adwrite.F: when type and length do not match ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
1246        criteria, return to simple (default) tape IO format.
1247    o pkg/mdsio (+ eesupp/src):
1248      - rewrite/simplify tape-IO S/R (new S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_TAPE replace
1249        previous MDSREAD/WRITEVECTOR) with 2 array argument from each type (R4/R8);
1250      - fix globalFile and singleCpuIO options using simpler global mapping.
1251      - new pairs of scatter/gather vector S/R (one for each type, generated from
1252        template) corresponding to simpler global mapping.
1253      - adread_write.F: switch to new S/R (but leave old calls commented) and write
1254        to globalFile when parameter globalFiles is set to True.
1255      - switch on useSingleCpuIO in AD experiments: global_ocean.90x40x15 & isomip.
1256    o pkg/autodiff:
1257      - adread_adwrite.F: add a hack for RS arrays (when RS=real*4);
1258        with ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO defined, since corresponding (real*4) is
1259        missing, just add a STOP if array type do not match.
1260    o pkg/exf:
1261      - to allow to use seaice-fraction from pkg/exf in other pkgs than pkg/seaice:
1262         rename CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX to EXF_SEAICE_FRACTION
1263         and rename array obsSIce to exf_iceFraction.
1264    o tutorial_deep_convection:
1265      - add 1rst version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code (from Louis-Philippe),
1266        for now all in this exp. code dir.
1267      - add secondary test using Smag-3D viscosity (keep very low backgroud visc for
1268        testing) and flux-limter advection scheme for Temp. (no explicit diffusion).
1269    o eesupp/src:
1270      - added SINGLE_DISK_IO option because reading of parameter files on
1271        very large number of processors did not work with existing set-up
1272    
1273    checkpoint64o (2013/09/25)
1274    o pkg/atm_phys & atm_compon_interf:
1275      - allows for coupling of gray-atmosphere (atm_phys) with ocean.
1276    o tools/build_options:
1277      - switch from "-fPIC" to "-mcmodel=medium" in optfiles: linux_amd64_gfortran
1278        & linux_amd64_ifort11 and in linux_amd64_g77 & linux_amd64_open64 also
1279        remove CPP setting (was identical to genmake2 default).
1280    o pkg/gmredi & model/src: Some updating and work done on the residual model.
1281      - created new file model/src/calc_eddy_stress.F to calculate the eddy stress.
1282      - fixed up the calculation of the eddy stress and how it is added to the
1283        external forcing via taueddy_external_forcing.F
1284      - at the moment, it is very experimental and only works with the variable eddy
1285        diffusivity calculated in gmredi_k3d.F
1286    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: add a check to catch the case of specifying
1287        lw/swfluxfile instead of lw/swdownfile in data.exf together with pkg/seaice
1288    o testreport (& tools/do_tst_2+2):
1289      - for MPI test, set default COMMAND to 'mpirun -v -np TR_NPROC ./{executable}'
1290    o tools/build_options: linux_amd64_gfortran & linux_amd64_ifort11:
1291      - remove CPP='cpp -traditional -P' (this is genmake2 default)
1292      - add switch (for big setups) to use 'medium' memory-model (but leave it
1293        commented out for now). Note: needed with FC 19 to compile big setups.
1294    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
1295      - regroup per field origin (model & pkgs) the coupling storage routines
1296         (which accumalate in time each coupling field)
1297      - move bi,bj loops inside atm_store_my_data.F and store also wind-stress;
1298        update accordingly + simplify aim_do_physics.F
1299    
1300    checkpoint64n (2013/08/26)
1301    o pkg/bbl:
1302      - update formulation to reduce dispersion of tracer properties in bbl
1303      - replaced horizontal and vertical transport parameters with velocities
1304      - changes results for verification/global_with_exf.yearly
1305    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
1306      - change to matrix construction; update both Fwd & AD output.
1307    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
1308      - OpenAD test: switch to vector-invariant momentum since fluxform with
1309        rStar causes problems with OpenAD; update output.
1310    o tools:
1311      - genmake2: define a common prefix for all temp-file names ; move them
1312        to local /tmp disk (but would be easy to move them back);
1313      - xmakedepend: apply the same switch for temp-files.
1314    o pkg/offline:
1315      - changes for use with rStar (NLFS): assume that we continue to provide
1316        UVELMASS/hFacW_ini & VVELMASS/hFacS_ini (hFacWi,S_ini as written in grid
1317        output files) and apply r* scaling at each time-step (function of the time
1318        varying Eta field); use normal pickup files (needed for restart with NLFS).
1319    o adjoint with OpenAD:
1320      - move OpenAD-specific files from verification/OpenAD/code_oad_all to a new
1321        package openad.  This package has to be compiled for all runs with OpenAD
1322        instead of specifying code_oad_all as a modification directory.
1323      - link the fortran templates from tools/OAD_support to the build directory
1324        for preprocessing to avoid conflicts between different setups compiled
1325        simultaneously and simplify cleanup.
1326    o pkg/exf:
1327      - in exf_getforcing.F: comment out most of the EXCH calls (fields used by
1328        main model or other pkgs are exchanged in EXF_MAPFIELDS).
1329    o model/src:
1330      - do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F: skip EXCH calls when using pkg/offline
1331        (similar to do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F).
1332    o tools/genmake2:
1333      - remove TAF output src code just before calling staf (when not doing a fresh
1334        built, will stop if things go wrong with staf).
1335      - fix target "adobj" (left from TAF version-2 transition)
1336    o pkg/diagnostics:
1337      - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;
1338        this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check
1339        when adding diag to the list) to also check any DIAGNOSTICS_[]FILL* call.
1340        New S/R to print error message and stop when pkgStatus is not right.
1341      - to try: add a warning when "data.diagnostics" exist but useDiagnostics=F.
1342    
1343    checkpoint64m (2013/08/13)
1344    o model/inc:
1345      - move FCORI_MACROS.h from PARAMS(_MACROS).h to GRID_MACROS.h (left from
1346        8 yrs ago modif when Coriolis arrays were moved from PARAMS.h to GRID.h)
1347    o pkg/kpp & aim_v23:
1348      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
1349    o pkg/seaice:
1350      - restore (last time on 2011/12/24) ability to compile pkg/seaice with
1351        undefined pkg/exf ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_RUNOFF CPP-options.
1352      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
1353    o eesupp/src:
1354      - fix check for overlap-size argument (myOLn.GT.MAX_OLY_EXCH)
1355        in exch1_rx[_ad].template (thanks to Francois Lefeuvre report).
1356    o switch to TAF version-2:
1357      - add flow directives to "freeze" naming convention for ad-routines that
1358        are used in I/O routines of adjoint state and associated common blocks
1359        that are used in adcommon.h (backward compatible with version-1)
1360      - update all ad-optfiles (in tools/adjoint_options + few local to some
1361        verification exp) to switch to latest TAF version (currently 2.5.5);
1362        merge "*_mpi" adoptfiles into the corresponding non-mpi (but commented
1363        out except for diva).
1364      - the major change with TAF version-2 is that both the differentiated
1365        routines and the forward routines (new) are returned as part of the TAF
1366        output source code. Update genmake2 accordingly.
1367      - new output for AD experiment tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (better AD gradient
1368        with version-2 when compared to TLM or FWD gradient); other experiments
1369        output show minor changes (machine truncation level); update the few AD &
1370        TLM output with 12 matching digits only (some prior to version-2 switch).
1371    
1372    checkpoint64l (2013/08/05)
1373    o model/src:
1374      - in dynamics.F, skip the call to CALC_VISCOSITY if momViscosity=F
1375      - main_do_loop.F: no longer includes additional (AUTODIFF) header files
1376        when using TAF but only if using OpenAD.
1377    o pkg/mom_common+fluxform+vecinv:
1378      - always set horiz. viscosity arrays to background value before calling
1379        MOM_CALC_VISC (in MOM_FLUXFORM & MOM_VECINV) and call S/R MOM_CALC_VISC
1380        only when using variable horiz. viscosity (useVariableVisc=T);
1381      - simplify mom_vecinv.F (only 1 block for momViscosity).
1382    o pkg/mom_common: variable horiz. viscosity in NH code
1383      - move horiz-viscosity 3-D arrays viscAh_W & viscA4_W (used in calc_gw.F)
1384        from model/inc/NH_VARS.h to pkg/mom_common/MOM_VISC.h
1385      - store in common block (in MOM_VISC.h) logical parameters: useHarmonicVisc,
1386        useBiharmonicVisc & useVariableVisc.
1387      - fix old bug (already in 1rst implementation of variable horizontal viscosity
1388        in calc_gw.F, version 1.27, 2006/06/20):
1389        horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity in gW was missing when wiscA4W=0
1390        even if variable bi-harmonic viscosity (e.g., viscA4Grid) was non-zero.
1391      - change background horiz viscosity in vertical momentum (gW) to always be
1392        viscAhW,viscA4W (instead of switching to viscAhD, viscA4D when using
1393        any type of variable viscosity, e.g., viscAh/4Grid)
1394      - change default value of viscAhW,viscA4W to viscAhD,viscA4D (instead of
1395        viscAh,viscA4) which default to viscAh,viscA4 :  this avoid missing
1396        horiz. viscosity in W eq when just setting viscAhD/Z,viscA4D/Z (since
1397        default viscAh,viscA4 is zero).
1398    o model/src:
1399      - extend length of drC & recip_drC from Nr to Nr+1.
1400    o Divided Adjoint (DIVA) with MPI:
1401      - genmake2: do not create local ./mpi_headers dir when no file to copy into.
1402      - remove option ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT_MPI (replaced by ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT
1403        and ALLOW_USE_MPI) from model/src code and from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h.
1404    
1405    checkpoint64k (2013/07/23)
1406    o tools/OAD_support:
1407      - avoid the need for file "oadtempflile" in insertTemplateDir.bash
1408        and remove it from genmake2.
1409    o tools/build_options:
1410      - remove MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC setting (no longer used) and comment out
1411        MPI_HEADER_FILES list (let genmake2 find the missing headers)
1412    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
1413      - change to driving stress formulation; update both Fwd & AD output.
1414    o tools/genmake2 and Divided Adjoint with MPI:
1415      - remove default setting of MPIINCLUDEDIR from $MPIHOME (always been broken);
1416      - only create local ./mpi_headers dir if using MPI and MPIINCLUDEDIR is set;
1417      - add new variable (LOCAL_MPI_HEADERS, replace MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC) in
1418        Makefile, which is set by genmake2, and check which mpi-headers are needed.
1419        Note: need to update adjoint_options/adjoint_diva_mpi accordingly.
1420      - update target "CLEAN" (to also remove ./mpi_headers/ dir).
1421    o testreport:
1422      - changes for Divided Adjoint Run: when file "run_ADM_DIVA" is present,
1423        perform additional runs (number of additional runs is "add_DIVA_runs" taken
1424        from file run_ADM_DIVA ; should match "nchklev_3" in file "code_ad/tamc.h").
1425    o verification/lab_sea (AD test):
1426      - change to test Divided Adjoint Run in this set-up (both standard AD test
1427        and 2 secondary AD test: noseaice + noseaicedyn); drop the evp AD test.
1428    o pkg atm_ & ocn_compon_interf:
1429      - remove cpl_earlyExpImpCall=F option (was mainly a hack added for the old
1430        staggerTimeStep implementation) and disable (retired) corresponding
1431        parameter.
1432    o pkg/offline:
1433      - comment out unused field-array: ICEM, ConvectCount, hflx[01], icem[01];
1434      - add S/R OFFLINE_CHECK to print offline parameter summary
1435        and stop if loading a file that is not used;
1436      - enable to calculate GMRedi tensor, KPP mixing and convective index
1437        when the corresponding file(s) is/are not specified (but pkg is used).
1438      - comment out resetting of monitorFreq (to endTime) since it still useful
1439        for monitoring CFL numbers and checking offline fields.
1440    o OpenAD:
1441      - do not define OAD_DEBUG (in tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad) to get
1442        smaller standard output) and generate new (smaller) output (on baudelaire
1443        using gfortran with -ieee) for exp. tutorial_tracer_adjsens
1444    o model/src:
1445      - call EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF outside bi,bj loops (in do_oceanic_phys.F),
1446        (where external_forcing_adjust was called) and change list of arguments;
1447      - merge external_forcing_adjust.F into external_forcing_surf.F
1448      - put surface relaxation of SST & SSS in new S/R (forcing_surf_relax.F)
1449        which also contains balancing surface relaxation (ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX,
1450        previously in file "balance_relax.F", now removed); remove corresponding
1451        arrays in FFIELDS.h.
1452      - EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF is now called when using pkg/offline; implement
1453        a hack for getting back surfaceForcingS (loaded from file) when using
1454        ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (pkg/dic, in DIC_OPTIONS.h) in offline set-up.
1455      - update output of AD test experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix
1456        (was getting only 11 digits for AD-grad, due to different truncation
1457         error in AD code).
1458    
1459    checkpoint64j (2013/07/04)
1460    o pkg/offline:
1461      - to enable the use of other features with pkg offline (e.g., obcs),
1462        also call S/R DO_OCEANIC_PHYS in offline run - more modifs to come.
1463      - comment out "allowFreezing" (now active) in 2 offline testing exp.
1464    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
1465      - fix sign and make compatible with temp_EvPrRn .NE. UNSET_RL
1466      - ahdded RUNOFTEMP test to verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
1467      - changes verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/results/output.seaice.txt
1468    o pkg/atm_phys:
1469      - allows to add some damping on uVel,vVel (strength only function of k).
1470    o verification, ad-tests:
1471      - reduce length of the simulation for AD test: global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice,
1472        global_ocean_ebm and offline_exf_seaice.thsice.
1473    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
1474      - found a bug in s/r pkg/streamice/streamice_advect_thickness which caused
1475        flux input boundary conditions to be ignored; a fix for this bug changed
1476        verification results for forward test.
1477      - add adjoint test.
1478    o pkg/ptracers:
1479      - allow to restart without SOM pickup (resetting SOM to zero).
1480    o pkg/gmredi:
1481      - New parameterisation for the calculation of K and (GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY) added.
1482      - It uses mixing length theory and suppression by steering level effects to
1483        calculate a diffusivity used in the Redi tensor (see Bates et al., submitted
1484        to JPO, for more details).
1485      - It also uses the diffusivity to calculate an eddy induced streamfunction
1486        based on a PV closure (rather than a buoyancy closure as in GM).
1487      - New files added to pkg/gmredi:
1488        gmredi_k3d.F calculates the diffusivity for the Redi tensor and the eddy
1489          induced overturning streamfunction (called from gmredi_calc_tensor)
1490        gmredi_calc_eigs.F calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors required
1491          for use in gmredi_k3d
1492        gmredi_calc_urms.F calculates the the rms eddy velocity used to calculate
1493          the eddy diffusivity
1494    
1495    checkpoint64i (2013/06/18)
1496    o pkg/cheapaml:
1497      - take src files from MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/offline_cheapaml/code
1498        that enable the use of seaice (pkg/thsice thermo & pkg/seaice dynamics)
1499        with pkg/cheapaml.
1500    o utils/python: add subpackage for cubed sphere function, first example is
1501        simple cs.pcol to plot 2D fields on a map
1502    o pkg/streamice:
1503      - This is a new package in MITgcm, which solves dynamic equations for ice
1504         sheets and ice streams
1505      - At the moment it is independent of atmosphere/ocean dynamics, or any
1506        other physical packages in MITgcm, even ShelfIce (although it is anticipat-
1507        ed that this will change)
1508      - There is a new verification exercise that tests it, halfpipe_streamice,
1509        evolves a 40x80 km ice stream/ice shelf (at coarse resolution) in a
1510        rectangular embayment
1511      - halfpipe_streamice is forward-only for now, will have TAF test soon
1512      - for questions, email dgoldber@mit.edu
1513    o pkg/thsice:
1514      - fix filling of snow-precip diagnostic (SIsnwPrc) (left from the removing
1515        of snowPrc from common bloc, on May 2nd, thsice_step_fwd.F revision 1.40);
1516      - remove diagnostics 'SI_FrcFx' ( now identical to 'SI_Fract' with new
1517         call sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect );
1518      - allow precip from pkg/cheapaml to make snow over seaice.
1519    o pkg/cfc:
1520      - move in separated header file (CFC_ATMOS.h) time-serie arrays of Atmos CFC
1521      - remove atmos CFC 2-D arrays from common bloc (now local variables)
1522      - change some hard-coded constant to run time parameter for reading and
1523        and interpolating atmospheric CFC ; keep same default as previously.
1524      - more flexible reading of Atmos CFC (number of records no longer hard-coded)
1525      - put arguments in standard order: myTime, myIter, myThid
1526      - use standard S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL for time interpolation of
1527        atmospheric CFC ; fix for the case myIter < PTRACERS_iter0.
1528      - fix calculation of surf tendencys for partial-cell and/or Non-Lin Free-Surf
1529      - new routine to print summary of CFC params and check for consistency.
1530    o pkg/seaice: add uice/vice to the parameter list of s/r seaice_advdiff,
1531      similar to thsice_advdiff.
1532      Note that for the B-grid case the routine parameters uc/vc are overwritten.
1533    o pkg/cfc:
1534      - change time interpolation for atmospheric CFC-11 (now same as for CFC-12);
1535        update output (CFC-11) of experiment cfc_example and tutorial_cfc_offline.
1536      - fix interpolation of atmphspheric CFC between Sorthern and Northern
1537        hemisphere value.
1538    o pkg/seaice:
1539      - allow to use seaice dynamics without pkg/exf (e.g., using pkg/cheapaml)
1540    o pkg/seaice: add Adams-Bashforth2 time discretization for ice dynamics;
1541                  so far only for JFNK-solver, turn on with SEAICEuseAB2 = .TRUE.
1542      - requires an additional time level that is stored in the pickup
1543      - you can start with AB2 from a pickup without this time level with
1544        pickupStrictlyMatch = .false.
1545    
1546    checkpoint64h (2013/05/26)
1547    o pkg/cheapaml:
1548      - replace one ()**.5 with SQRT + use temp var "cdu = tau/Du" (coare3_flux);
1549        affect machine truncation (but exp cheapAML_box still pass with 13 digits).
1550      - consistent treatment of uWind,vWind location: assume everywhere in
1551        pkg/cheapaml that they are on C-grid (@ uVel,vVel location)
1552        (Note: was already the case for Tair,Qair advection);
1553        add option (INCONSISTENT_WIND_LOCATION) to recover old results.
1554      - compute diabatic forcing only in the interior (excluding overlap regions)
1555      - fill in array "Qsw" (for short-wave heating);
1556      - add diagnostic for precip ; fill-in diagnostics for cheapAML state vars
1557        before any update (consistent with MITgcm state var diagnostics);
1558      - cheapaml_fields_load.F & cheapaml_init_varia.F : only fill outer edges if
1559        non periodic ; + adjusted for uWind,vWind (C-grid).
1560    o pkg/seaice:
1561      - remove dependence of pkg/seaice versus pkg/exf (file: pkg/pkg_depend) and
1562        add explicitly pkg/exf in experiments that currently use pkg/seaice.
1563      - allows to compile pkg/seaice without pkg/exf.
1564    o tools/OAD_support:
1565      - use a local copy (ourRWCPinBd) to ensure index ourRWCP stays within bounds
1566        of array "ourStepOf" in function rvNextAction (revolve.F90).
1567    o pkg/aim_compon_interf renamed to pkg/atm_compon_interf
1568      - change pkg name (to be used with other atmospheric physics pkg)
1569        but by-pass CVS when making the new pkg so that we keep the CVS history.
1570    o pkg/offline:
1571      - call OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD from pkg/offline/offline_init_varia.F
1572        (previously called from pkg/dic_surfforcing_init.F)
1573    o model/src:
1574      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_init_variables.F, using
1575        standard order, except for:
1576         DIAGNOSTICS_INIT_VARIA and OFFLINE_INIT_VARIA (called @ the top),
1577         CTRL_MAP_INI and OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES (called @ the bottom)
1578    o new pkg: atm_phys
1579      - add entry point and source code (previously in contrib
1580          verification_other/atm_gray/code_gray/) for new pkg "atm_phys"
1581        (atmospheric physics pkg from P. O'Gorman and T. Schneider, JCl, 2008).
1582      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_readparms.F,
1583         packages_init_fixed.F and packages_write_pickup.F
1584        (but skip packages_init_variables.F because of TAF issues).
1585      - update contrib/*/atm_gray/ experiment.
1586    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
1587      - simplify and fix the writing of pickup-files for ITD case
1588    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
1589      - introduce floe size dependent lateral melt for ITD case;
1590      - cleaning (avoid division by zero, change to f77 syntax, remove tabs)
1591      - update seaice_itd experiment main output.
1592    o pkg/thsice:
1593      - remove snowPrc from common block THSICE_FLUX, in THSICE_VARS.h and
1594        declared it locally (without bi,bj) in thsice_main.F & aim_do_physics.F;
1595        changed accordingly pkg/atm2d.
1596    
1597    checkpoint64g (2013/05/01)
1598    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
1599      - if defined,  river and glacier runoff temperature can be read-in from
1600        runoftempfile; runoftempfile needs to have same format as runofffile
1601    o pkg/thsice (& pkg/bulk_force):
1602      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
1603        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap (like with pkg/exf).
1604      - change computation domain to always be the interior (without overlap).
1605      - fix bug (wrong overlap) when using EXF and stressReduction > 0.
1606    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1607      - add preliminary OpenAD setup (still has problems)
1608    o pkg/seaice:
1609      - turn some parameters for choosing the convergence criterion of
1610        the inexact Newton method (JFNK) into runtime parameters for convenience
1611      - clean up seaice_calc_viscosities.F: remove/retire two options for
1612        SEAICetaZmethod (1,2), introduce area weighting for method 3; this changes
1613        the results of lab_sea/input because a division has been replaced by
1614        a multiplication with the reciprocal (sumNorm)
1615      - modify offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk/data.seaice to improve
1616        convergence of solver (changes results, of course), and to test some
1617        new features
1618    o model/src:
1619      - remove unused (since Aug 2006) S/R SET_WRITE_GLOBAL_PICKUP and its call.
1620      - remove unused forcing field "dQdT" and associated parameter "dQdTFile".
1621      - move forcing adjustment (balancing surface forcing) in specific S/R
1622        where might also be applied exchanges (if needed) to forcing arrays.
1623    o pkg/shelfice:
1624      - allow to specify the Ice-Shelf mass per unit area (instead of
1625        shelficeLoadAnomaly) and do the conversion from one to the other
1626      - move loading from file of shelficeLoadAnomaly from SHELFICE_INIT_VARIA
1627        to SHELFICE_INIT_FIXED: (a) avoid some TAF recompution issues and
1628        (b) will be loaded in time (before calling INI_PRESSURE) in case it is
1629        needed in phi0surf for initial pressure calculation when useDynP_inEos_Zc
1630      - update isomip experiment forward output (get machine truncation error
1631        from conversion shelficeLoadAnomaly -> shelficeMass -> shelficeLoadAnomaly)
1632    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1633      revise data.seaice in input.thermo and input_ad and update results accordingly
1634        HO = 0.2, SEAICE_areaLossFormula = 2,
1635        SEAICE_growMeltByConv = .TRUE.,
1636        SEAICE_doOpenWaterMelt = .TRUE.,
1637      Improve consistency with input.thsice and fix the spurious 500m ice corners
1638    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
1639      - set Energy Reference Level to liq. water @ 0 degC: temp_EvPrRn=0.,
1640        in icedyn (thsice+seaice-dyn) test and update output.
1641    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1642      - adjust list of tested variables (with testreport) and update
1643        standard test output with better slection of monitored fields.
1644    o pkg/cd_code:
1645      - swtich off Adams-Bashforth on the 1rst iteration. Update output of
1646        experiment lab_sea.hb87
1647    o tools/genmake2:
1648      - change default makedepend from the system default to tools/xmakedepend:
1649        When no makedepend is specified, select tools/xmakedepend it the test pass,
1650        otherwise select the system default (if exist and pass the test) or
1651        try to build cyrus-makedepend ; stop if none of the 3 works.
1652    o pkg/exf & pkg/thsice:
1653      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
1654        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap. Assumes:
1655       1) Rain has same temp as Air.
1656       2) Snow has no heat capacity (consistent with seaice & thsice pkgs)
1657       3) Run-Off comes at the temp of surface water (with same Cp)
1658       4) Evap over ocean is released to the Atmos @ surf-temp (=SST); should be
1659        put directly into Latent Heat flux & should use water-vapor heat capacity.
1660       5) Evap over snow/seaice (pkg/thsice) assumes constant Lf+Lv (consistent
1661        with snow having no Cp) => water vapor is released to Atmos @ 0^oC (=ERL).
1662    o pkg/seaice: simplify the use of CPP flags in JFNK-related files
1663        (compile when SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK is defined)
1664    o pkg/thsice:
1665      - fix oceanic flux diagnostics & timeave (left from new sequence of calls
1666        implementation): move THSICE_AVE call after the advection (called directly
1667        from thsice_do_advect.F).
1668    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 and OpenAD:
1669      New experiment for OpenAD is identical to the one in input_ad except that
1670        multiDimAdvection=.FALSE.,
1671      There is still an issue with this.
1672    o pkg/thsice:
1673      - account for ice velocity (ocean relative velocity) in turbulent heat flux
1674        at the base of the ice; update output of global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn)
1675        and offline_exf_seaice (main test).
1676    
1677    checkpoint64f (2013/03/31)
1678    o verification/OpenAD:
1679      - new (smaller, without OAD_DEBUG) output_oadm.txt generated using gfortran.
1680    o verification/isomip, pkg/shelfice and OpenAD:
1681      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make shelfice package work with OpenAD
1682    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1683      - update AD and TLM output after turning off ALLOW_FE (in DIC_OPTIONS.h)
1684    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1685      - replace adjoint experiment (now similar to fwd input.thermo/ setup).
1686    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens, pkg/ptracers and OpenAD:
1687      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make ptracers package work with OpenAD
1688    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F:
1689       mask the asymmetric contribution of the ice-ocean stress (when
1690       the turningAngle is non-zero) over open water to avoid stripes
1691       in the EVP-solutions after many EVP-substeps. This does not change
1692       the verification experiment (because turningAngle=0 in that experiment),
1693       but will affect other EVP solutions with turningAngle.ne.0
1694    o verification, AD & TLM output:
1695      - new TAF version 2.3.10 (previously 2.3.8) add more parenthesis in multiple
1696        additions and multiplications which affect results at machine truncation
1697        level. Update few AD output (1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5,
1698        lab_sea.noseaicedyn & offline_exf_seaice) and TLM output
1699        (1D_ocean_ice_column & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.som81) which had only 12
1700        digits of matching.
1701    o pkg/seaice:
1702       modify lsr-algorithm so that it vectorizes AND converges by using a
1703       "zebra" method: split vector loop into two with step size 2; this
1704       solves a general convergence problem for the JFNK solver on a vector
1705       computer. It has the potential to even improve convergence for
1706       non-vector machines, but it does change the results so it is turned
1707       off by default. To turn on define CPP-flags SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and
1708       SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
1709    
1710    checkpoint64e (2013/03/05)
1711    o pkg/ecco and several verification experiments:
1712       Remove special versions of the_model_main.F, the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F
1713       from ecco package, and revert to unified routine in model/src/
1714       Adjust verification experiments accordingly, especially gloal_oce_llc90
1715       Should conclude long-standing work by Gael to reconsile the_main_loop with
1716       ECCO and will enable OpenAD's revolve loop in ECCO setup.
1717    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1718      - implement compressible flow method for multi-dim advection (similar to
1719        gad_som_advect.F); add new option "GAD_MULTIDIM_COMPRESSIBLE" (since
1720        TAF generates many recomputations) to use it; no yet coded with implicit
1721        vertical advection.
1722      - change experiment advect_cs (new output) and advect_xy (same output)
1723        to test compressible flow multi-dim advection.
1724    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1725      - fix SOM advection for unusual cases (linear Free-Surf in r*, other
1726        cases where linear Free-Surf is not @ k=1, e.g., useShelfIce)
1727    o pkg/seaice:
1728      - fix bug in the no-slip implementation in seaice_calc_strainrates.F, this
1729        bug affects two verification experiments (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87),
1730        recover old (wrong) results by setting noSlipFac = 2. in
1731        seaice_calc_strainrates.F;
1732      - add another averaging method for etaZ (etaZmethod=3), a mix of 2 and 0
1733      - add runtime parameter SEAICE_JFNKepsilon for that finite difference
1734        gradient in the Jacobian times vector operation (s/r seaice_jacvec)
1735      - fix line search in seaice_jfnk.F (s/r seaice_jfnk_update)
1736    o pkg/seaice: reorganize seaice_lsr.F to be able to reuse more code:
1737      - new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1738      - introduce loop bounds i/jmin/max to be able to use a restricted
1739        additive Schwarz method, but not used for now.
1740      - rename SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS into SEAICE_LSR_CALC_COEFFS
1741      - use new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v in s/r seaice_preconditioner
1742    o OpenAD support
1743       Reorganize S/R call for overall time-stepping loop to facilitate
1744       OpenAD revolve loop replacement
1745       (new S/R main_do_loop.F)
1746    o model/src:
1747      - add 3-D array 3rd dimension to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2/3;
1748      - pkg/cheapaml: remove local S/R ADAMS2d and use instead standard S/R
1749        ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
1750    o pkg/cheapaml:
1751      - add new parameter (default=F, same as before) to disable full domain
1752        (including land) periodicity in X & Y dir.
1753      - new S/R CHEAPAML_COPY_EDGES to copy relaxation field into edges of
1754        prognostics field ; merge the 2 S/R cycle_2d_tracer and timestep_2d_tracer
1755        into single S/R CHEAPAML_TIMESTEP.
1756    
1757    checkpoint64d (2013/02/17)
1758    o pkg/monitor (angular momentum):
1759      - do not add Eta contribution to the total AM if using rigid-lid;
1760      - correct for Adams-Bashforth in zonal-wind part (instead of in AM_eta).
1761      - horizontal discretisation: compute Zonal wind contribution separately for
1762        each component (instead of from cell centered averaged) and use the 4
1763        grid-cell corner averaged value of Omega*(R*cos_Phi)^2 in AM_eta part.
1764      - Check that AM is conserved with linear dynamics (momAdvection=F and linear
1765        FreeSurf) if using vectorInvariant momentum.
1766    o model/src (horizontal grid):
1767      - move initialisation of all horizontal grid arrays to null value
1768        from specific horizontal grid S/R to main S/R INI_GRID;
1769      - add 2 new arrays to project model C-grid velocity on to zonal direction
1770        (similar to AngleCosC & -AngleSinC but at U and V point location) and
1771        compute them in S/R CALC_GRID_ANGLES.
1772    o pkg/seaice: replace a hard coded parameter by a runtime parameter
1773        SEAICE_JFNK_tolIter
1774    o pkg/seaice: introduce a restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) method in
1775        preconditioner for JFNK (run LSR into the overlaps as far as possible,
1776        i.e OLx/y-2, but overwrite the solution in the overlaps)
1777      - extend loop range in seaice_calc_viscosity
1778      - add new parameters SEAICE_OLx/y (default = OLx/y-2)
1779      - add flexible loop ranges to seaice_preconditioner, seaice_calc_lsr_coeffs
1780      - slightly modify loops in tridiagonal solver lsr-preconditioner
1781      - by default remove the extra exchange in seaice_preconditioner with a
1782        replacement of an undocumented CPP flag by SEAICE_PRECOND_EXTRA_EXCHANGE
1783      - modify offline_exf_seaice so that old results without RAS are reproduced
1784        for output.dyn_jfnk.txt
1785      in seaice_fgmres.F (unrelated to RAS)
1786      - add a cpp-flag option for a re-ordered mapping (potentially more
1787        efficient), but because this changes the results, turn it off by
1788        default
1789      - replace the save statement by local common blocks
1790    o utils/matlab:
1791      - fix tile-offset in rdmnc.m when output was produced using EXCH2.
1792      - update cs_grid/bk_line scripts to use load_grid.m (in utils/matlab)
1793        instead of local script "load_cs.m".
1794    o pkg/seaice:
1795      - fix a serious bug in seaice_fgmres.F, s/r seaice_scalprod, connected
1796        to the scalarProductMetric and the unrolling. By chance this does not
1797        change the verification experiment, because of the particular domain
1798        decomposition
1799    o pkg/diagnostics:
1800      - change default missing_value from UNSET_RL to -999.
1801    o pkg/layers: improve vectorization of layers_fluxcalc.F
1802      - step 1: split loops, make TatU/V 2D arrays. This alone reduces the cpu
1803        time spent in this routine by more than a factor of 3 on an NEC-SX8
1804      - step 2: replace search algorithm by a bisection algorithm found in
1805        Press et al. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This algorithm can be
1806        vectorized and finds the correct bin in approx. log2(Nlayers) steps.
1807        For now, use this algorithm only for TARGET_NEC_SX defined.
1808      - moved the search algorithm into a separate subroutine, that is kept
1809        within the same file for automatic inlining.
1810      - modified catching potential errors
1811    o pkg/ecco:
1812      - add compile switches ALLOW_SHALLOW_ALTIMETRY and ALLOW_HIGHLAT_ALTIMETRY.
1813    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk :
1814      - modifications for ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1815      -- forward_step.F, the_main_loop.F : pass options and arrays for adjoint tapes.
1816      -- load_fields_driver.F : add call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D( myTime, myIter, myThid )
1817      -- add xx_gentim2d0/1 in ctrl_ad_check_lev1_dir.h checkpoint_lev1_directives.h etc
1818      -- use ctrl_swapffields.F (new) instead of exf_SwapFFields.F in ctrl_get_gen.F
1819    o model/src:
1820      - account for moist thermodynamics in (dry) potential temperature equation;
1821        update results of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs (std + aqualev)
1822        and cpl_aim+ocn.
1823      - also switch to standard compiler (gfortran, was using ifort previously)
1824        for fizhi-cs experiments reference output.
1825    o pkg/ctrl:
1826      - 1st step toward generic time-varying control variable (2D) via CPP option
1827        ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1828      - note new namelist ctrl_nml_genarr in data.ctrl
1829    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
1830      - switch off OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE (both forward and AD code) to use new
1831        thsice calling sequence and update "output.icedyn.txt" output file.
1832    o pkg/ptracers:
1833      - from Ryan A.: code to allow to restart a tracer at regular time interval
1834        specifying a reset frequency and a reset-phase (for each tracers).
1835    o pkg/thsice:
1836      - implement new sequence of calls for thsice+seaice:
1837          previously:   ice-Dyn,ice-Advect,ice-Thermo(thsice)
1838          new sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect
1839      - allows (with temporary CPP option "#define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE"
1840        in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to recover old sequence;
1841      - update diagnostics for Intermediate State thsice diagnostics: now filled
1842        just before advection (instead of just after advection in old sequence);
1843      - update output of experiment offline_exf_seaice (standard test);
1844      - in global_ocean.cs32x15 exp., postpone output.icedyn.txt update
1845        by setting #define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE in CPP_OPTIONS.h
1846    o pkg/aim_v23:
1847      - use tiled array for aim_CO2 and surface wind speed for export to coupler;
1848      - use standard pkg/mdsio routines to read & write CO2 pickup file;
1849      - in-line S/R AIM_AIM2DYN_EXCHANGES in aim_do_physics.F;
1850      - Implement new sequence of calls for seaice advection (with thsice and
1851        seaice diffusion): do ice advection after ice-Thermodynamic (previously
1852        was done before); change aim_do_physics.F (split the bi,bj loops block);
1853      - use same CPP option (OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE) to recover old sequence;
1854    o pkg/thsice:
1855      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
1856        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
1857    
1858    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
1859    o pkg/seaice:
1860      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
1861        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
1862      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
1863      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
1864        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
1865      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
1866        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
1867        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
1868        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
1869    o pkg/mdsio:
1870      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
1871        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
1872        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
1873        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
1874    o pkg/exf & thsice:
1875      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
1876        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
1877    o verification/cfc_example:
1878      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
1879        illustrate how to use it).
1880    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1881      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
1882        files to only one time-record.
1883      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
1884        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
1885        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
1886        surf-current=0.2m/s.
1887      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
1888        initial conditions).
1889    o verification/cfc_example:
1890      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
1891        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
1892        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
1893    o pkg/layers:
1894      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
1895      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
1896    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1897      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
1898        anywhere else).
1899    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1900      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
1901      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
1902    o model/src:
1903      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
1904        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
1905    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
1906      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
1907        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
1908        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
1909        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
1910        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
1911        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
1912        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
1913      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
1914        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
1915        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
1916        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
1917        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
1918        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
1919    o pkg/cheapaml:
1920      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
1921    o pkg/seaice:
1922      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
1923        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
1924    o model/src:
1925      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
1926        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
1927        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
1928    o pkg/cheapaml:
1929      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
1930        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
1931      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
1932        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
1933      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
1934      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
1935        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
1936    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
1937      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
1938    o pkg/seaice:
1939      - remove legacy branch code.
1940      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
1941    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
1942      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
1943        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
1944    o pkg/cheapaml:
1945      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
1946        to load new forcing fields.
1947      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
1948      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
1949        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
1950    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1951      - add thermodynamics only test.
1952    o verification/cheapAML_box:
1953      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
1954        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
1955      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
1956        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
1957    
1958    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
1959    o pkg/cheapaml:
1960      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
1961      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
1962        and fix the AB-2 restart.
1963    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
1964      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
1965      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
1966      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
1967      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
1968    o pkg/seaice:
1969      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
1970        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
1971        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
1972        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
1973    o model/src:
1974      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
1975        (in case of a poor convergence).
1976    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
1977      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
1978        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
1979        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
1980        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
1981      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
1982        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
1983        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
1984        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
1985    o verification/seaice_obcs:
1986      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
1987        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
1988    o model/src:
1989      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
1990    o pkg/seaice:
1991      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
1992        cleaning up the code
1993      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
1994        second argument
1995      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
1996        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
1997      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
1998    o pkg/aim_v23:
1999      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
2000    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
2001      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
2002        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
2003        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
2004            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
2005      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
2006        default: not compiled and not used.
2007    o pkg/seaice:
2008      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
2009        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
2010        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
2011      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
2012      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
2013      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
2014    o verification:
2015      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
2016        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
2017        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
2018        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
2019        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
2020      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
2021    o pkg/exf:
2022      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
2023    o verification:
2024      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
2025        to test pkg/cheapaml.
2026    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
2027      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
2028    o pkg/seaice:
2029      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
2030      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
2031    o eesupp/src:
2032       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
2033    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
2034       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
2035         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
2036       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
2037         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
2038         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
2039         undocumented ifdefs
2040       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
2041    o tools/genmake2:
2042      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
2043        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
2044    
2045    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
2046    o pkg/autodiff:
2047      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
2048        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
2049        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
2050        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
2051        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
2052    o pkg/obcs:
2053      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
2054        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
2055    o pkg/seaice:
2056      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
2057        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
2058      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
2059    o pkg/aim_v23:
2060      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
2061    o pkg/shap_filt:
2062      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
2063        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
2064    o model/src:
2065      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
2066        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
2067      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
2068        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
2069        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
2070        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
2071    o pkg/seaice:
2072      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
2073        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
2074        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
2075        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
2076        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
2077      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
2078      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
2079        + introduce global field etaZ
2080        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
2081          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
2082        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
2083          seaice_preconditioner
2084      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
2085      - seaice_preconditioner:
2086        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
2087        + adjust printing of residuals
2088      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
2089        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
2090          seaice_init_fixed.F)
2091        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
2092        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
2093          interval to STDOUT
2094      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
2095        some operations
2096      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
2097        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
2098        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
2099      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
2100        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
2101    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
2102      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
2103      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
2104    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
2105    o pkg/autodiff
2106      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
2107        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
2108        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
2109    o pkg/seaice
2110      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
2111        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
2112        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
2113        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
2114        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
2115        code is not complete yet!!
2116      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
2117    o verification (using seaice):
2118      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
2119        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
2120      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
2121      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
2122        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
2123    o pkg/exf:
2124      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
2125        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
2126        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
2127  o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):  o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
2128    - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)    - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
2129      this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.      this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
