4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistant with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
8      affect results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
9    o transfert surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
10    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
11         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
12    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
13         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
14      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
15      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
16          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
17          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
18      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
19          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
20          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
21      * 3 cases:
22          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
23          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
24          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
25    
26    checkpoint57y_post
27    First step for a NLFS adjoint
28    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
29    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
30    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
31    o testreport seemed happy
32    checkpoint57y_pre
33    
34    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
35    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
36    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
37    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
38    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
39      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
40    
41    checkpoint57x_post
42    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
43    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
44      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
45      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
46    o Non-Hydrostatic:
47     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
48     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
49    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
50     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
51     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
52       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
53     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
54    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
55    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
56    o adjoint
57      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
58        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
59      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
60    
61    checkpoint57w_post
62    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
63                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
64       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
65    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
66      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
67    o tracer advection scheme:
68      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
69       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
70       was not very convenient).
71      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
72       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
73    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
74      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
75      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
76      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
77    
78    checkpoint57v_post
79    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
80    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
81      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
82      identical results for a few days of testing
83    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
84      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
85      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
86      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
87       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
88    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
89      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
90      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
91    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
92      and for passive tracers
93    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
94      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
95      file).
96    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
97      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
98    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
99      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
100       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
101      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
102    
103    checkpoint57u_post
104    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
105      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
106        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
107        are treated
108      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
109        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
110      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
111        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
112        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
113        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
114        with EXF)
115    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
116    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
117      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
118    
119    checkpoint57t_post
120    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
121    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
122      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
123      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
124    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
125      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
126    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
127      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
128    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
129    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
130    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
131      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
132    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
133      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
134      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
135    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
136      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
137      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
138      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
139      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
140      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
141    
142    checkpoint57s_post
143    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
144      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
145      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
146      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
147      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
148      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
149      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
150      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
151    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
152    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
153      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
154      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
155      they did before.
156    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
157      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
158    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
159    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
160    o various changes to mnc including:
161      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
162      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
163          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
164      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
165          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
166      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
167    
168    checkpoint57r_post
169    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
170    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
171    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
172    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
173    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
174      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
175    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
176      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
177    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
178    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
179    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
180    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
181    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
182      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
183      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
184      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
185    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
186      (see README file)
187    
188    checkpoint57q_post
189    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
190    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
191      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
192    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
193      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
194    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
195      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
196      to be able to limit tapelev size
197    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
198      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
199      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
200      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
201    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
202      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
203      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
204    
205    checkpoint57p_post
206    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
207    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
208      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
209    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
210    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
211      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
212       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
213      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
214     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
215      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
216      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
217      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
218    
219    checkpoint57o_post
220    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
221      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
222    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
223      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
224    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
225      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
226      (worth another tag)
227    
228    checkpoint57n_post
229    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
230    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
231    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
232    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
233      for atmos. state.
234    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
235    o in natl_box_adjoint:
236      * updated exp 1 to 10
237        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
238    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
239      to incorporate latest changes
240    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
241      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
242    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
243    
244    checkpoint57m_post
245    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
246      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
247    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
248      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
249    
250    checkpoint57l_post
251     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
252    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
253       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
254    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
255       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
256    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
257          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
258    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
259    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
260      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
261    
262    checkpoint57k_post
263    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
264      new EXF diagnostics output.
265    
266    checkpoint57j_post
267    o exf
268      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
269        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
270        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
271      * extended diagnostics output
272        - now includes all EXF variables
273        - hs, hl moved to common block
274        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
275        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
276        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
277      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
278      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
279        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
280    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
281    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
282      several times with different frequencies.
283    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
284      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
285      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
286    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
287      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
288    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
289    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
290    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
291      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
292         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
293    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
294     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
295    
296    checkpoint57i_post
297    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
298      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
299    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
300      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
301    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
302    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
303      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
304    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
305    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
306    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
307      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
308    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
309      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
310    o pkg/diagnostics:
311      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
312      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
313    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
314    
315    checkpoint57h_done
316      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
317      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
318    
319    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
320      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
321    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
322      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
323    
324    checkpoint57h_post
325    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
326    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
327      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
328    checkpoint57h_pre
329    
330    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
331      and mnc_outdir_num are false
332    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
333      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
334    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
335      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
336    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
337    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
338    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
339    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
340      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
341    
342    checkpoint57g_post
343    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
344      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
345      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
346    checkpoint57g_pre
347    
348    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
349      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
350    o added new control variables
351      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
352      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
353    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
354      (suggested by G. Forget)
355    
356    checkpoint57f_post
357    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
358      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
359      account for baseTime shift
360    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
361    checkpoint57f_pre
362    
363    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
364    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
365      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
366    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
367    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
368      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
369      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
370      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
371    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
372      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
373    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
374    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
375      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
376        new version is now more standards-compliant
377    o adjoint-related modifications
378      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
379      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
380      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
381    
382    checkpoint57e_post
383    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
384    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
385    
386    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
387      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
388    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
389    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
390    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
391      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
392      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
393      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
394    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
395      - off by default for backwards compatibility
396      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
397    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
398    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
399    
400    checkpoint57d_post
401    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
402    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
403      output from the diagnostics package
404    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
405    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
406      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
407    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
408    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
409    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
410      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
411    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
412    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
413    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
414      at the end).
415    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
416      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
417    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
418    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
419      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
420      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
421    
422    checkpoint57c_post
423    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
424    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
425    checkpoint57c_pre
426    
427    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
428      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
429    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
430      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
431    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
432    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
433    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
434    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
435      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
436      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
437      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
438        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
439        *all* data points are output
440    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
441    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
442    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
443    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
444    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
445      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
446      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
447      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
448    o pkg/ctrl/
449      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
450        May be enabled via doPackDiag
451      *  introduce z-scaling of
452         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
453         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
454    o pkg/mdsio/
455      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
456      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
457    
458    checkpoint57b_post
459    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
460    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
461      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
462      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
463    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
464    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
465      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
466     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
467    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
468      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
469            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
470    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
471      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
472    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
473      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
474        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
475    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
476    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
477    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
478      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
479      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
480    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
481    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
482      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
483      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
484      - restore use of make (not gmake)
485      - add CC=gcc if using g77
486    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
487      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
488        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
489        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
490        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
491      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
492        changed)
493      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
494    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
495      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
496      preprocessors
497    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
498     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
499     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
500     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
501       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
502       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
503    
504    checkpoint57a_post
505    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
506      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
507      (what a pain)
508    
509    checkpoint57a_pre
510    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
511    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
512    
513    checkpoint57
514    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
515      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
516      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
517      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
518    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
519    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
520    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
521      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
522    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
523      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
524    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
525      and include in natl_box_adjoint
526    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
527      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
528    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
529      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
530    
531    checkpoint56c_post
532    o OBCS as control variables
533      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
534      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
535      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
536      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
537      - add dummy weights for obcs
538    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
539    o optim:
540      - remove unnecessary header files
541      - adjusted namelists
542      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
543    o exf:
544      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
545      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
546    o mdsio:
547      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
548    
549    checkpoint56b_post
550    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
551      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
552      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
553      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
554      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
555    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
556      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
557      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
558    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
559      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
560      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
561      testreport.
562    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
563    
564    checkpoint56a_post
565    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
566      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
567        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
568        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
569        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
570      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
571      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
572      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
573        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
574    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
575    o PTRACERS:
576      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
577        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
578        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
579      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
580        monitorFreq
581      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
582    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
583    o exf_check_range:
584      * default changed to .TRUE.
585      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
586      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
587      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
588      TBD: a version with stricter range
589           permitted range would be runtime parameters
590    o GMredi:
591      - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
592      - change S/R GRAD_SIGMA to be valid in the overlap on CS-grid.
593      - change the default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h: compile everything except Visbeck
594    o GCHEM:
595      - move call to GCHEM_FORCING_SEP, so that it is now called before
596        the blocking exchanges to avoid computing halos in GCHEM_FORCING_SEP
597      - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
598      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
599        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
600      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
601        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
602        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
603        of ptracers_forcing
604      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
605        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
606      - cleaning up
607    o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src
608    
609    checkpoint56
610    o AIM: read land-Fraction earlier (from ini-fixed) and monitor land at nIter0
611    o mnc: cleanup "full" files--fixes out-of-memory problem
612    o ECCO-GODAE
613      * model/, pkg/, code/, input/ now complete w.r.t. ECCO-GODAE production setup
614      * fully merged and updated from SIO code
615        windstress sign change affects
616        - exf_inscal_[u/v]stress
617        - sign of xx_tau[u/v] adjustments
618        - signs in cost_scat
619      * ctrl_get_gen: avoid update of tau[u/v] for first few days
620      * natl_box_adjoint updated and compressed
621      * 2-level checkpoint switch added
622        (tested in EXP. 1 of natl_box_adjoint)
623      * new switch doInitXX to avoid init. of xx_... in optimcycle=0
624    o SVD
625      * first complete, non-hacked version for SVD calculations
626      * all interfaces clean w.r.t to handling of xx_..., adxx_..., g_xx_...
627        performed via direct access files admtlm_vector.it????
628        (via ctrl_[un]pack)
629      * optimcycle is used for ARPACK iteration counter
630        (note: adxx_... is iterated, rather than xx_...; latter is constant!)
631      * EV problem ok w.r.t. L2-norm in tangent space; need to check other norms
632        and add linear transforms where necessary
633      * controls are initial/final SST, SSS (can be extended; need to check
634        ctrl_set_[un]pack_xyz.F according to ctrl_set_[un]pack_xy.F
635    o mdsio: filename info to both stderr, stdout
636    o exf: exf_inscal_runoff: separated default conversion [m/year] -> [m/sec]
637      from sign change
638    
639    checkpoint55j_post
640    o isolate dissipation tendency (allow to keep it out off AB) in V.I form.
641      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
642    o add consistent build directories and .cvsignore files to verification
643    o added viscA4GridMin and viscA4GridMax for more control on biharmonic viscosity
644    o make all subroutines 30 or less characters in length for certain older
645      compilers to work (a thorough search only turns up two routines in
646      pkg/ptracers)
647    o allow (vecinv only) a different horiz. viscosity for Divergence and Vorticity;
648      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
649    
650    checkpoint55i_post
651    o change arrays for total vertical diffusivity (2.D if explicit,
652      3.D if implicit) ; each ptracer uses its own background value.
653    o added mnc/NetCDF output capability to ocn_compon_interf
654      - added bits to verification/cpl_aim+ocn so that it can run on
655        ITRDA and other clusters without the mpirun "-wd" option
656    o fixed wayward endif in mom_fluxform.F that messed up cyclindrical
657      configuration
658    o give MNC the ability to create additional files rather than
659      exceeding a specified file size limit "MNC_MAX_FILESIZE"
660      - the default is just less than 2GB which is a practical limit
661        on many systems
662    o Compute the non-local term using either KPP vertical diffusivity (=default)
663       or the total vertical diffusivity (when KPP_ghatUseTotalDiffus=T)
664    
665    checkpoint55h_post
666    o add verification test "vermix"
667    o remove all the *_ioinc flags and replace with the single global
668      outputTypesInclusive flag
669    o allow to set a vertical profile of vertical diffusivity for T & S
670    o call PACKAGE_BOOT & PACKAGES_READPARMS just after INI_PARMS
671    o useMNC moved from data.mnc to data.pkg
672    
673    checkpoint55g_post
674    o Renaming carbon AD experiments to comply with testreport conventions
675    o Updating adjoint of Held-Suarez hs94.1x64x5
676    o Fixing directives for non-ECCO forward_step, after ECCO directives
677      have been fixed to avoid recomp. of do_oceanic_phys
678      Works well for global_ocean.90x40x15,
679      but recomp. issue remains for carbon
680    o Updating adjoint output for natl_box_adjoint after
681      pkg/ecco has been modified (see taga c55d_post)
682    
683    checkpoint55f_post
684    o rename to timeave_init_fixed
685    
686    checkpoint55e_post
687    o some delicate re-shuffle of store directives to avoid one
688      extra call of do_oceanic_physics
689      affects ecco_the_main_loop.F, do_oceanic_physics.F
690      checkpoint_lev1_directives.h
691    o NB: this may break global_ocean adjoint temporarily,
692      but it is clear how to fix it. Will do later, need this now.
693    
694    checkpoint55d_post
695    o ECCO specific cost function terms (up-to-date with 1x1 runs)
696    o ecco_cost_weights is modified to 1x1 runs
697    o modifs to allow observations to be read in as
698      single file or yearly files
699    o enable to read exf forcing fields as either
700      single file or yearly files (flag useExfYearlyFields)
701    checkpoint55d_pre
702    
703    o switch between 2-level and 3-level checkpointing
704    o add ability of MNC to write local and "partial" (eg. 2D slices where
705      the full 3D field is never actually stored) arrays to NetCDF files
706      with the correct (that is, the complete multi-dimensional) set of
707      array indicies
708      - used in mom_vecinv() to write the diagFreq output
709      - tested (demonstrated) in verification/aim.5l_cs
710    o further mnc-ification
711      - add verification/lab_sea to the list with mnc setups
712      - fix undefined mnc v-names in cd_code
713      - add kpp to mnc output (both snapshot and timeave)
714    o non-hydrostatic code
715      - added horizontal viscosity parameter viscAhW for w, that replaces viscAh
716        in calc_gw.F
717      - defaults to viscAh
718      - this is useful, when I want to use viscAh=0 (e.g., only biharmonic
719        friction or Leith) in non-hydrostatic mode, as long as there is
720        no biharmonic friction and/or Leigth or equivalent for vertical velocity.
721    o pkg/cost
722      extend simple cost functions to treat time mean quantities
723      (T,U,V) via cost_accumulate_state from cost_tile
724    o multidimAdvection on CS-grid: implement the full 3 pass ; overlap needs to
725        be 2 times larger than the minimum size the advection scheme requires.
726        now get a perfect conservation of salt in advect_cs test-exp (updated)
727    o GGL90 (Gaspar's TKE mixed layer)
728      - add horizontal diffusion of TKE, requires exchanges in
729        do_fields_blocking_exchanges, horizontal diffusivity is zero by
730        default. In OPA there is no horizontal diffusion of TKE but the
731        mixing coefficients are computed from a horizontal average of TKE of
732        6 points or so. I think that diffusion has a little more physical
733        justification.
734      - clean up ggl90_calc in the hope of reducing memory usage (this hope
735        was in vain)
736      - mask tke-variable in ggl90_init
737    o fix mask Pb in multidimAdvection on CS-grid (still a small Pb with ipass)
738    o fix biharmonic diffusion on CS-grid.
739    o more obcs stuff
740      - added obcs_external_fields_load as an alternative to the EXF-pkg option
741        for reading boundary values. This routine is called from
742        obcs_prescribe_read
743      - updated obcs_check
744      - changed sponge layer relaxation parameter units for days to seconds
745      - turned off sponge layer by default
746      - changed argument list of OBCS_CALC to myTime+deltaTclock
747      - fixed about 35 bugs in obcs_external_fields_load
748    
749    checkpoint55c_post
750    o obcs stuff
751      - new runtime flags useOBCSprescribe, useOBCSbalance
752      - re-arranged obcs_calc
753      - moved exf_getobcs to obcs_prescibe_read
754        obcs_prescibe_read is called after ORLANSKI stuff
755        and independent of it (executable can contain all).
756      - updated obcs_check
757      - added exchanges for U,V,gU,gV for useOBCSprescribe=.TRUE.
758        These may be necessary only if tangential velocities are
759        prescribed at OB, not sure, needs testing.
760    o make the MNC_CW_ADD_VATTR_* subroutines all take scalar arguments
761      which simplifies the calls and passes the ifc check-bounds test
762    
763    checkpoint55b_post
764    o add a 2D scalar, Z location, exchange_2 routine.
765    o EXCH_UV for CS-grid: add one u,v in the corner-halo region, allows
766      to compute vorticity on a wider stencil [e.g., vort3(0,1)&(1,0)]
767      affects advect_cs results (for the wrong reason): update output.txt
768    o use a more standard discretization for biharmonic viscosity ;
769     (original version still available with #define MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 )
770      affects results of dome set-up: update output.txt
771    o fix gad_advection.F (CubedSphere part), back to version 1.23
772    o fix bug in mom_vi_del2uv.F (CubedSphere part).
773    
774    checkpoint55a_post
775    o merged code to
776      * prescribe/read time-dependent open boundaries
777        (works in conjunction with exf, cal)
778      * sponge layer code for open boundaries
779      * each boundary N/S/E/W now has its own CPP option
780        (healthy for the adjoint)
781    
782    checkpoint55
783    o up-to-date adjoint of previous breaks
784      - natl_box_adjoint: problem for exp 12, 13: cost = 0. needs fix
785      - global_ocean_ebm: adjoint still needs fix (TLM ok)
786      - global_ocean.90x40x15: extended GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
787      - carbon: * remove tr1-related adjoint verification
788                * add ptracer as control variable
789    o remove all tr1-related code (ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER)
790      (adjoint stuff still has some tr1 'names', but all use ptracer arrays)
791    
792    checkpoint54f_post
793    o in verification/carbin/ remove experiment related to
794      ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER (array tr1 etc)
795      code_ad/ input_ad/ results_ad
796    
797    o add two new packages
798      - ggl90, TKE-model of Gaspar et al. (1990), Blanke+Delecluse (1993)
799        + subject to optimization (memory)
800      - opps, OPPS (ocean penetrative plume scheme) of Paluszkiewicz+Romea (1997)
801        + subject to reordering (many GOTOs in the original code)
802        + so far opps is called for every (i,j) point, and then operates in
803          the vertical; one may want to reorder the scheme in order operate in
804          horizontal slabs at the cost of (a lot of) memory, at least ten new 3D
805          fields)
806    o overhaul of IO so that we now have flags for MDSIO and/or MNC
807      - all verification tests compile and run with linux_ia32_g77
808      - defaults are compatible with current input files--nothing
809        should change if you were not previously using MNC
810      - MNC output has been added in numerous places (eg. timeave)
811        but there are still a few writes not yet do-able with MNC
812        (this is in progress)
813      - flags now allow for either/or/both use of MDSIO and MNC and
814        documentation will soon follow
815      - numerous small formatting cleanups for ProTeX
816    o add version info (via BUILD_INFO.h) to MNC and stdout
817    
818    checkpoint54e_post
819    o add two new packages
820      - pp81 (Packanowski and Philander, 1981), Richardson number and
821        stratification dependent mixing
822      - my82 (Mellor and Yamada, 1982) level 2 turbulence closure scheme
823      - these scheme operate in a similar manner as KPP (without ghat, of
824        course), however there is only one diffusivity that is used for both
825        temperature and salinity (and passive tracers)ç
826    o add offline package
827    o add "verification/dic_example" which contains a dic-gchem-ptracer setup
828      provided by Stephanie Dutkiewicz
829    o genmake2: add ability to search for C compilers and cleanup test output
830      - fixes recent SX-6 problems and should help with others (eg. HP-UX)
831    
832    checkpoint54d_post
833    o data.diagnostics: if levels() is unspecified then ALL levels are diagnosed
834    o bug fix in pkg/cal/cal_addtime.F for TheCalendar='model' day count is wrong,
835      leading to additional shift by 5 days each year of integration
836       (i.e. leading to considerable offset over the years)
837    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/thsice: use z* + RealFW + staggerTimeStep
838    o start with no AB and no initial filtering (staggerTimeStep):
839      change the results of test-exp: hs94.128x64x5, hs94.1x64x5 & hs94.cs-32x32x5
840    o move ocean specific S/R calls from forward_step.F to do_oceanic_phys.F
841      (external loading & cpl import/export stay in forward_step.F)
842    o update coupling interface to work with new staggerTimeStep
843    o change MDSIO ptracers_pickup.
844    o fix a bug in Flux deriv. vs Ts (pkg/aim_v23/phy_suflux_sice.F);
845    o genmake2 fixes so netcdf now works on halem ("osf1_alpha_*")
846    o bugs fixed in kpp_calc.F (ustarY) and external_forcing.F (Qsw & Partial-cell)
847    
848    checkpoint54c_post
849    o replace surfaceTendency U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr by surfaceForcing U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr
850      this affects (truncation error) output.txt of test-exp:
851       global_ocean_ebm,_pressure,.cs32x15(&.thsice), lab_sea & natl_box
852    o pkg/kpp: replace pMask by maskC to reduce memory size (one 3.D array)
853    o change Qnet to always be the net heat flux, (+upward).
854      affects (truncation error) output of natl_box exp.: updated
855    o define the max number of passive tracers in PTRACERS_SIZE.h
856    o start to test mnc routinely in exp0
857    o add sea-ice loading (sIceLoad) as a new forcing field.
858    
859    checkpoint54b_post
860    o add testreport "-j JOBS" option for parallel builds (tested and pretty
861       impressive on Altix and Opteron systems)
862    o diagnostics can now write NetCDF files through the mnc package
863    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: update pkg aim_v23 & thsice; update aim.5l_cs output
864    o staggerTimeStep & multi-Dim-Advec: Exch(U,V) added
865    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: rescale T & S surface tendencies.
866      affects (truncation error) output of lab_sea & natl_box exp.: updated
867    o change pickup _cd & _ptracers (old pickup restart: usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
868    
869    checkpoint54a_post
870    o re-write staggerTimeStep: step fwd U,V and then T,S (reverse the order).
871    o change pickup file (to restart from old pickup, set usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
872    o get a perfect restart when using RealFreshWaterFlux + NLFS (not finished)
873    o update output of all exp. that use staggerTimeStep (except hs94.cs & 2D)
874      + internal_wave (shift in writing cg2d_ini_res)
875    checkpoint54a_pre
876    
877    o require forcing_In_AB=.FALSE. and remove surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice
878      - modified verification/lab_sea and natl_box_adjoint accordingly
879    
880    checkpoint54
881    checkpoint53g_post
882    o prepare splitting of thermodynamics: store convect.counter in common block
883    o store d.etaH/dt (instead of Div.hV) in common ; affects (truncation error)
884      output of: global_ocean.cs32x15, global_ocean_pressure & internal_wave
885    o cnh's modifs to gad_advection.F for cube-sphere multi-dim advection
886    o new parameter "nShapS": allow to treat differently S from T (nShapT)
887    o separate Vert.Advec.Scheme from horizontal Advec.Scheme (T & S)
888    o restore adjointability
889    
890    checkpoint53f_post
891    o modifications that affect AIM experiment results (update output.txt):
892      - no advection of S at top interface Nr (pkg/generic_advdiff)
893      - air surf. temp: use lower value between T0 & T1 (phy_suflux_prep.F)
894    o AIM pkg:
895      - include stability function into surf.Flux derivative relative to Tsurf
896      - calculate clear-sky radiation & surface temp. change (for diagnostics)
897    
898    checkpoint53e_post
899    o merged cylindrical coord configuration
900    o added rotating_tank experiment
901    checkpoint53e_pre
902    
903    checkpoint53d_post
904    o faulks upgraded: re-generate output.txt that have changed:
905       global_ocean.cs32x15(.thsice), global_ocean_ebm, lab_sea, natl_box
906    o Added Bryan and Lewis, 1979, vertical diffusivity profile
907    o pkg/land: fix problem in land_impl_temp.F when Ts arround freezing.
908    o added Sadourny discretization of Coriolis
909      - moved some PARAMETERS from mom_*_coriolis.F to PARAMS.h
910      - re-enabled use of omega3 (useAbsVorticity)
911    o added Leith (Phys. Fluids, 1968, 10, 1409-1416) variable viscosity for
912      vector-invariant equations
913      - note: does *NOT* yet use same variable visc. for no-slip BC's.
914    o recoded the lateral boundary conditions for non-hydrostatic w, this time
915      hopefully without new bugs
916      - still to do: biharmonic friction for non-hydrostatic w
917    o bug fix for mom_*_sidedrag: rA -> rAs,rAw
918    o regenerated output for global_ocean_ebm (using -ieee)
919    o fix mom_common/mom_*_sidedrag.F to recover numeric output prior to creation
920      of mom_common/
921      - simple re-arrangement of instructions within computing loop
922    checkpoint53d_pre
923    
924    checkpoint53c_post
925    o new version of coupler for AIM+thSIce and Ocean models
926     - new fields (SSS,h_MixLayer ...) are exchanged through the coupler
927     - land: change Evaporation of snow
928     - aim with thSIce: fix bug in snow-precip.
929    o changes to calc_gw.F
930     - bug fix for w^2 term near the bottom boundary
931     - (hopefully) improve the lateral slip boundary condtions for use with
932        partial/looped cells
933      - because the bug fix changes two verification experiments anyway (exp5
934        and plume on slope), change the lateral boundary condition from half slip
935        to the value of no_slip_sides
936    o ebm package wasnt quite up to the parallel task. Fixed that.
937    o Adjoint of EBM package + verification
938      * TLM OK
939      * ADM not sufficient accuracy yet (needs further testing)
940    
941    checkpoint53b_post
942    o Commiting new energy balance model to repository
943      * package is pkg/ebm
944      * verif. is verification/global_ocean_ebm
945      * references are in ebm_driver.F
946    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
947    C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part I:
948    C        Sensitivity to atmospheric moisture transport.
949    C        J. Climate 12(1), 71-82
950    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
951    C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part II:
952    C        Sensitivity with interactive transport.
953    C        J. Climate 12(1), 83-91
954    C      * M. Nakamura, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1994:
955    C        Destabilization of the thermohaline circulation
956    C        by atmospheric eddy transports.
957    C        J. Climate 7(12), 1870-1882
958    o Will need long integration testing.
959    checkpoint53b_pre
960    
961    o created pkg/mom_common in preparation for variable viscosity code
962    o renamed and split ini_mnc_io
963    o pkg/land: only liquid water can diffuse or run-off
964    o AIM using land: soil wetness availability account for snow
965    o added printMapIncludesZeros to EEPARMS namelist
966    
967    checkpoint53a_post
968    o restore TAMC compatiility for exf_constants.h
969      (no usage of _d in .h)
970    o Additional storing in KPP in an attempt to fix
971      TAMC problem with adjoint of KPP code.
972      (no success...)
973      Identical code works fine with TAF.
974    o Fixed verification/natl_box_adjoint experiments.
975      Initial conditions for Experiments 4 and 5 are now
976      set to "SEAICE_initialHEFF=0", which is more reasonable,
977      and hence gives results closer to that of Experiment 2.
978      Experiment 6 requires "SEAICE_initialHEFF=1" and is working once again.
979    
980    checkpoint53
981    o stable checkpoint with up to date adjoint
982      TLM tests only run for 1st grdchk at the moment. Its unclear if
983      this is a code problem or a problem with resetting code for g_
984      variables that is being autogenerated wrong.
985      Otherwise:
986       o code is testing well on Linux (P4 and AMD), SGI Alitix and Irix.
987       o IBM and HPQ tests could not be run because NCAR (IBM) and NCCS (HPQ)
988         are both still in chaos following their security messes.
989    
990    checkpoint52n_post
991    o various build (mostly genmake2) changes including:
992      - ability to build/run more easily within Cygwin and MacOS X
993      - more complicated Makefiles with a stronger dependence on Gnu Make
994    o pkg/seaice modifications
995      - added SEAICE_deltaTtherm and SEAICE_deltaTdyn in order to reduce cost
996        of pkg/seaice.  For time being, SEAICE_deltaTtherm = deltaTtracer
997        and SEAICE_deltaTdyn must be integer multiple of SEAICE_deltaTtherm
998      - changed proxy for geostrophic velocity and updated
999        verification/lab_sea/results/* accordingly
1000      - removed ADI dynamic solver from pkg/seaice
1001      - replaced all occurrences of 1/CSTICE or 1/CSUICE
1002        they caused a segmentation fault under certain circumstances
1003      - removed unused field WATR
1004    o bug fix in exf-package:
1005      -  u/vwind are defined at tracer/pressure points. The values of u/vwindmask
1006         now reflect that.
1007    o small fixes in the cal-package:
1008      - set reference date to first of January for the 'model'-calendar
1009      - failing of cal_CheckDate in cal_FullDate now actually results in a
1010        warning
1011    o small modifications in exf-package to increase flexibility:
1012      - change climtempfreeze from a constant to a runtime parameter that
1013        is specified in data.exf_clim (default = -1.9)
1014      - introduce runtime parameter windstressmax (default = 2.0) that is
1015        specified in data.exf
1016    o fix in pkg/thsice:
1017      - update Evap (Tsf changes) to be consistent with Latent heat flux
1018      - maintain snow precipitation unchanged (even if Tsf >=0).
1019     both affect global_ocean.cs32x15/(.thsice) results ; update output.txt.thsice
1020    
1021    checkpoint52m_post
1022    o commented out call to cal_GetMonthsRec in swfrac.F and added some comments;
1023      this does not change any of the results, because myIter=0 in swfrac always
1024      lead to jwtype=2 (the default anyway), but the call makes little sense
1025      as a default
1026    o no SHORTWAVE HEATING lost at the bottom; affects lab_sea output; updated
1027    o re-work pkg/thsice interface with ocean & bulk_force pkg to allow
1028      atmospheric model (AIM) to use it ; add a "slab ocean" component.
1029    o pkg/aim_v23 : add interface to call thermodynamic sea-ice (thsice)
1030    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/output (.thsice) after changes in pkg/thsice
1031    o extending useSingleCpuIO option to work with new exch2 I/O format
1032      - old-style, missing-tile I/O is still accessible by defining CPP
1033        option MISSING_TILE_IO in pkg/mdsio/MDSIO_OPTIONS.h
1034    o monitor package can write to NetCDF files and/or STDOUT
1035    o fix re-definition bug in MNC_GRID_INIT_ALL()
1036    o doc/api_reference added
1037      - a framework for building an API Reference Manual using all
1038        the "protex" comments embedded in the code
1039      - see pkg/generic_advdiff, pkg/mnc for examples
1040    o MNC:
1041      - make myThid the last argument for all subroutines
1042      - new default for the grid files: NO halos
1043      - add useMNC and other run-time flags
1044      - separate per-file-group handling of the unlimited dimension
1045      - early initialization of MNC w/ flags read at the eeboot stage
1046        and lookup tables set in initialize_fixed
1047      - write all MNC output to a freshly-created directory
1048    o thermodynamics sea-ice (thsice) is now tested with testreport.
1049    o test exp. advect_cs: use the standard cs32 grid ; update output.
1050    o Added functionality to grdchk:
1051      pick global i,j,k position (or nearest wet) where to perform check.
1052    
1053    checkpoint52l_post
1054    o new land formulation:
1055      a) use ground enthalpy as prognostic variable to ensure exact
1056         energy conservation.
1057      b) account for water temperature and for latent heat of freezing
1058         in all processes (rain, run-off, ground storage)
1059      c) compute surface and ground temperature implicitly.
1060    o aim_v23 modification for new land model:
1061      a) Treat separately land / ocean / sea-ice surface fluxes
1062         to allow implicit computation of land & sea-ice surface temp.
1063      b) add snow precipitation.
1064    checkpoint52l_pre
1065    
1066    o fix problem (when 1 tile is empty) in min/max monitor.
1067    o fix bug in timeAve (u,vZetatave in common block)
1068    o no restoring terms under ice for pkg/seaice
1069    o moved SEAICE_DO_DIAGS to S/R do_the_model_io
1070    o bug fix for pkg/seaice pickups
1071    o change MNC call locations and add coordinate attributes
1072    o mask vorticity at the corner ; affects global_ocean.cs output
1073    o fix ini_curvilinear_grid ; test CS experiments with mpi
1074    o aim.5l_cs: modify sea-ice fraction input file ; update output
1075    o exf: Adding simple range check routine for exf fields after read
1076    
1077    checkpoint52k_post
1078    o removed top-level directory "diags"
1079      - we migrated these functions to pkg/timeave a long time ago
1080    o fixed bug introduced in pkg/monitor
1081    o accuracy ctrlprec = 32 insuffient for gradient checks using
1082      averaged fields (I/O via cost_averages)
1083      -> use ctrl.h in active_file*.F to control I/O precision.
1084    o paramter list of CALL ADTHE_MAIN_LOOP
1085    o added initial do_the_model_io to ecco
1086    o set all ...Freq to zero after cost_final
1087      taveFreq, dumpFreq, pChkptFreq
1088    o MAIN and ECCO differentiability restored
1089    
1090    checkpoint52j_post
1091    o fix nchklev in tamc.h for global_ocean...
1092    o Bringing flow and store directives up-to-date
1093    o Really weird thing!
1094      call do_the_model_io from the_main_loop with parameters
1095      starttime, niter0, instead of mytime, myiter, screws up the adjoint:
1096      TAF places a faulty re-call of initialise_varia
1097      after cost_final call which should not be there!
1098    checkpoint52j_pre
1099    
1100    o tweaked pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F to have more useful logic and
1101      error messages
1102    o fix errorMessageUnit problem. remove old version of mdsio from eesup/src
1103    o modified pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F -- commented out diskspace-eating
1104      debug output
1105    o modfied mdsio_writefield.F to handle non-global files under exch2
1106    o update AIM Cubed-Sphere exp (aim.5l_cs):
1107      use land, p*, and Franco.M forcing fields with fractional land-sea mask.
1108    o update AIM Equatorial Channel exp:
1109      use standard aim_v23 pkg and change the SST fields to be more realistic.
1110    o globalFile now works with exch2
1111    o merged mom_vi_calc_relvort3.F, mom_vi_del2uv.F and
1112      mon_vort3.F to make exch2 friendly with >1 tile per cube face
1113    o limit timeave output for hi-res integrations
1114    
1115    checkpoint52i_post
1116    o removed CPP_EEOPTIONS.h from verification/*/code
1117    o updated the tiling for global_ocean_pressure
1118    checkpoint52i_pre
1119    
1120    o update aim.5l_LatLon using the standard aim_v23 pkg (instead of
1121      the old pkg/aim).
1122    
1123    checkpoint52h_pre
1124    o shortened offending lines in exch2_send_rx?.template

1129    o added useSingleCPUIO flag to monitor.F and mon_out.F
1130    o added temporary hack for sea-ice dynamics on the cube:
1131      metric terms are ignored and it is assumed that
1132      there is no sea-ice on cube faces 1, 2, 4, and 5.
1133    
1134    checkpoint52f_post

1142      for now, only implemented with Lax-Wendroff (tracer) and VectInv (mom)
1143    o step.1 : rewrite (as in MultiDimAdvec) explicit tracer stepping (gad_calc_rhs.F)
1144      to work with implicit vertical advection and AB ;
1145    o Implic. vert. advect. implemented with flux-limiter, c2, u3 and c4 scheme.
1146    o update output (gad_calc_rhs.F changes affect truncation error) of exp:
1147     front_relax, global_ocean .cs32x15 & _pressure, internal_wave, lab_sea, natl_box
1148    checkpoint52e_pre
1149    
1150    o fix bug in impldiff when Nr=1 or Nr=2.
1151    o change the albedo in pkg/thsice (as GISS model); update output_thsice.txt
1152    o little changes (fftpack, aim/phy_suflux ...) to pass the "checkbounds" test.
1153    o fix deltaTfreesurf in update_cg2d.F (left from c45d_post): affects 2
1154      ocean exp. that use NLFS: global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_ocean_pressure
1155    o added exf_offset_atemp for Celsius to Kelvin conversion of atemp
1156    o eesupp/inc/EEPARAMS.h: MAX_NO_PROCS=1024
1157    o pkg/cal/cal_toseconds.F fix for long (>60 years) integrations
1158    
1159    checkpoint52d_post
1160    o re-tiled many expts to allow comparison in multi-processor mode
1161      - updated output accordingly
1162      - changed hs94.128x64x5 to use intial T from file rather than use the
1163        random number generator
1164    o add infrastructure in model routines for fizhi and gridalt packages
1165    o change global_ocean.cs32x15 because of Pb with GM on CS-grid.

1168      - added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/scatter_2d.F
1169      - added pkg/exf/exf_set_uv.F for on-the-fly interpolation and rotation
1170        of surface winds for the cube
1171      (A verification experiment, based on global_ocean.cs32x15, but with
1172       pkg/seaice turned on and with on-the-fly interpolation from the NCEP
1173       Gaussian grid is described in MITgcm_contrib/high_res_cube/README_ice,
1174       complete with example surface forcing files and matlab scripts to look
1175       at the output and compare it with that of global_ocean.cs32x15.)
1176    o packages pickup: $PKG_write_pickup called from packages_write_pickup ;
1177       but call to $PKG_read_pickup remains in $PKG_ini_vars: change CD_code
1178       to conform to the common rule.
1179    o check-in the first version of the coupler + interfaces for multi-components
1180       set-up (Chris's version, adapted to work on cubed-sphere grid); use MPI.
1181       - imply modification in eesupp (MPI_COMM_MODEL < MPI_COMM_WORLD).
1182       - atmosphere: use pkg aim_v23 ; no sea-ice for now.
1183       - ocean and atmos. share the same horizontal grid (no interpolation).
1184       - exchanges between component and coupler is done in forward_step
1185    o new verification experiment, cpl_aim+ocn:
1186       coupled ocean - AIM atmosphere on cs32 grid.
1187    
1188    checkpoint52d_pre
1189    o surface flux time-av diagnostic modified for NLFS & RealFreshWater
1190    o add call to AIM pendant S/R in external_forcing & external_fields_load.F
1191    
1192    checkpoint52c_post
1193    o Fixing OPTIONS files for use of exf:
1194      - ALLOW_ECCO not needed
1195      - ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h should not be included from
1196        EXF_OPTIONS.h/CAL_OPTIONS.h, but from CPP_OPTIONS.h
1197        as has been the case in the past
1198      - All cal/exf related options are currently set in
1199        single header file. Should remain so until we
1200        agree on a consistent new policy.
1201    o Removed all CPP options for cal package.
1202      cal has no more CPP options.
1203    o modified STOREs in GAD_ADVECTION
1204    o corrected key comp. for passkey
1205    
1206    checkpoint52b_post
1207    o new version: "thsice" of thermodynamic sea-ice pkg:
1208     - only 1 call from "forward_step"; conserve energy, fresh-water & salt.
1209     - modify fluxes but do not change theta directly;
1210     - light cleaning of bulk_force pkg (still needed with thsice).
1211     - add forcing fields + data files in global_ocean.cs32x15/inp_thsice
1212       + output_thsice.txt to test thsice & bulk_force pkgs.
1213    o put back grid & coriolis monitor output.
1214    checkpoint52b_pre
1215    
1216    o call "do_the_model_io" at the beginning (=> dump initial state)
1217    o use rhoConstFresh to define convertEmP2rUnit (was done only in ocean-P)
1218    o sort out interplay between tamc.h and PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h
1219      (need info on NUMBER_OF_PTRACERS)
1220    o missing PTRACERS headers in some routines
1221    o default tamc.h in pkg/autodiff supposed to crash
1222      to ensure proper customization
1223    
1224    checkpoint52a_post
1225    o modifications to make FREEZE (_SURFACE) flux visible to pkg/kpp
1226      - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code
1227      - subroutine FREEZE_SURFACE now limits only surface temperature
1228        and is called in FORWARD_STEP (if allowFreezing=.TRUE.)
1229        => new output.txt for global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_with_exf
1230      - keep the old version of FREEZE for backward compatibility;
1231        global_ocean.90x40x15 left unchanged using useOldFreezing=.TRUE.
1232      - corresponding modifs for TAF directives
1233    o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS

1237      but no warning issued by TAF
1238    
1239    checkpoint52a_pre
1240    o some bug fixes for #undef REAL4_IS_SLOW
1241    
1242    checkpoint52 = ecco_c52_e35
1243    o after testing adjoints of checkpoint51u_post
1244    
1245    checkpoint51u_post
1246    o this is the post-merge tag of the ecco-branch
1247      (needs another clean checkout and re-testing)
1248    o various natl_box_adjoint configs and results
1249      but no input fields
1250    o obcs adjoint not yet merged!
1251    o adding ECCO global 1x1 and 2x2 degree configs
1252    o updated/extended some store directives for seaice
1253    o pkg/ecco now containes ecco-specific part of cost function

1256      previous input data.cost now in data.ecco
1257      (new namelist ecco_cost_nml)
1258    o in ctrl/ cleaned some cross-dependencies and updated CPP options
1259    
1260    checkpoint51t_post
1261    o this is the pre-merge tag of the ecco-branch
1262    
1263    checkpoint51s_post
1264    o cleanup: removed various obsolete #define-s
1265    o pkg/grdchk
1266      - renamed 'ph-grd 3' to 'grad-res'
1267      - merged from ecco-branch
1268        (remaining bug fixes for obcs gradient checks)
1269      - additional high-precision output for testreport
1270        (grep for 'precision_grdchk_result')
1271    
1272    checkpoint51r_post
1273    o cleaned up or removed CPP_OPTIONS.h files
1274    o updated results for some of the tests to reflect the new
1275      optfiles (-ieee: -O0 instead of -O3)
1276    
1277    checkpoint51q_post
1278    o cd_code:
1279      - moved cd_scheme.F -> cd_code_scheme.F
1280      - separate read_checkpoint from cd_code_ini_vars.F
1281      - separated cd_code part from write_checkpoint
1282      - updated AD_SOURCE, generated .flow

1291    o genmake2: changed AD dependencies from SRCFILES to AD_FILES
1292    
1293    checkpoint51p_post
1294    o create initial cd_code package
1295      - WARNING: the initialization of fields within packages
1296        is broken because INI_FIELDS (where READ_CHECKPOINT is
1297        called) is called *before* PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES.
1298        This seems to be backwards since
1299        1) its important to initially zero the entire field including
1300           the "halo" region
1301        2) zeroing needs to be done *before* reading pickup info
1302           and the pickup call might or might not happen in any
1303           particular run
1304      - this needs an overhaul for R2
1305    o cleanup verification/*/code/GMREDI_OPTIONS.h

1340      - FREEZE & EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF moved to FORWARD_STEP
1341      - subroutine FREEZE now limits only surface temperature
1342        (this means new output.txt for global_ocean.90x40x15,
1343         global_ocean.cs32x15, and global_with_exf)
1344    o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS

1522    o merged with release1_p17 (pkg/seaice and verification/lab_sea)
1523      - added SEAICE_MULTILEVEL for 8-category sea-ice thermodynamics
1524      - LSR sea-ice dynamic solver moved to SouthWest B-grid location and
1525        made the default because of faster convergence than ADI
1526    
1527    checkpoint50f_post
1528    o exf totally restructured
1529      - replaced all exf_set_ routines by one generic exf_set_gen.F
1530        and made sure it's still differentiable
1531      - split exf_getffields.F into new exf_bulkformulae.F
1532      - exf_inscal_/exf_outscal_ suffixes consistent with field names
1533      - updated adjoint/makefile and relevant verif. accordingly
1534    
1535    checkpoint50f_pre
1536     o AIM: near surface temp evaluated from Pot.Temp: fixed for Part Cell ;
1537          + change Evap over land. (update aim.5l_cs output)
1538     o added missing .cvsignores and made uniform across expts
1539     o changed configuration of tidal_basin_2d expt
1540     o added pkg/debug functions for tracing code in fatal crashes
1541     o tidied pkg/monitor to use MONITOR_OPTIONS.h
1542     o new fn in pkg/monitor to stop model if solution grows too big
1543     o removed lots of single quotes from comments
1544    
1545    checkpoint50e_post
1546    o make KPP work with PTRACERS
1547     - fix gad_calc_rhs to call new routine kpp_transport_ptr, which is
1548       nearly a copy of kpp_transport_s
1549     - there is no analogue to SurfaceTendencyS, so I have to use
1550       gPtr(of the surface layer) instead
1551    o add a new platform SunFire+mpi (SunFire 15000) to genmake
1552    checkpoint50e_pre
1553    
1554    checkpoint50d_post
1555    o change kpp output from multiple-record state files to single-record state
1556      files analogous to write_state.F
1557    o reduce the output frequency of cg3d-related stuff to the monitor frequency,
1558      analogous to the cg2d-related output.
1559    o fix small problem with in ptracers_write_checkpoint.F: len(suff)=512,
1560      so that writing to internal file fn (with length 512) fails.
1561    checkpoint50d_pre
1562    
1563    checkpoint50c_post
1564    o fix problem in ini_procs.F when using MPI (was there since checkpoint48f)
1565    o add monitor diagnostic of vorticity (mon_vort3.F) and potential energy.
1566    o add time-average diagnostic of U*V and vertical diffusive flux for theta.
1567    o bug fixed in convective adjustment diagnostic (multi-tile set-up).
1568    o 4th Order Adv scheme: return to previous (c40pre7) masking near boundaries.
1569    
1570    checkpoint50c_pre
1571    Merging from release1_p13:
1572    o bug fix for pkg/seaice dynamic solver
1573    o Added SEAICE_initialHEFF to pkg/seaice
1574    
1575    checkpoint50b_post
1576    o store u*,v* in gU,V instead of in guNm1,gvNm1
1577    o in order to put the momForcing out of the Adams-Bashforth:
1578      move forcing & CD-scheme calls from mom_fluxform & mom_vecinv
1579      to timestep.F
1580    o new flag "useCDscheme" (default=F); replace guCD,gvCD by local arrays
1581    o re-generate output for highly sensitive test-exp:
1582       global_ocean_pressure, ideal_2D_oce, lab_sea, natl_box
1583    
1584    checkpoint50b_pre
1585    o restore the use of momAdvection & useCoriolis flags (mom_vecinv)
1586    o corrected CPP option mismatch in exf_Bulk... functions for case
1587      #define ALLOW_ATM_WIND && #undef ALLOW_ATM_TEMP
1588    
1589    checkpoint50a_post
1590    o Bug fix for merging between c50 and KPP.
1591      ikey was passed from thermodynamics to kpp_calc via
1592      common block rather than being recomputed in kpp_calc,
1593      in contradiction with new key itdkey.
1594      New key ikppkey created, and tamc.h headers updated.
1595    
1596    checkpoint50
1597    - 2nd step of merge with ecco-branch:
1598      merge changes in ecco-branch back into main trunk
1599    - bug fix in find_alpha
1600    - more storing in gmredi_calc_tensor.F, kpp_routines.F
1601    - avoid iterative loop in ini_pressure for ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
1602    - merged some sliced AD support routines
1603    
1604    checkpoint49
1605    merged from ecco-branch:
1606    o exf:
1607      - Enable initialisation of forcing fields to constant
1608        (runtime) values.
1609      - in exf_getffields.F
1610        Reduce i-/j-loop to interior domain, discarding overlaps.
1611        That also fixes wrong TAF-key computations for key_1, key_2
1612        with bulf formulae.
1613      - exf_init.F modify #ifdef for exf_init_evap
1614      - exf_getffieldrec.F, ctrl_getrec.F
1615        The following INT-usages are not safe:
1616          fldsecs  = int(fldsecs/fldperiod)*fldperiod
1617          fldcount = int(fldsecs/fldperiod) + 1
1618        and were modified.
1619    o autodiff: checkpoint_lev...
1620      - updated storing for bulk formulae (some arrays were missing)
1621      - added state for seaice package
1622      - synchronized with main branch
1623    o DIVA:
1624      Modif.s in
1625      - the_main_loop.F
1626      - the_model_main.F
1627      and added cost_final_restore.F cost_final_store.F
1628      o With these changes, it is possible to fully separate
1629        the first forward run to compute the cost function (mdthe_main_loop)
1630        and adjoint runs over individual DIVA intervals (adthe_main_loop)
1631        into separate model executions.
1632        This enables better tuning of DIVA to given queue sizes.
1633      o Loss of cost function value in consecutive DIVA runs is
1634        fixed by storing to 'costfinal' file.
1635      o Appropriate call of ctrl_unpack/_pack,grdchk_main at
1636        beginning/end of adjoint integration is accounted for.
1637      The current changes apply to TAF-1.4.26.
1638      TAF has one remaining bug, requiring one manual change
1639      (see MITgcm manual).
1640    o cal: synchronized between MAIN and ecco-branch
1641    
1642    checkpoint48i_post
1643    o Changes to restore differentiability of code w.r.t. previous tag
1644      (mostly adding new routines to make list and replacing
1645      pressure by totPhiHyd).
1646    o Updated and merged grdchk package
1647      - has both ADM and TLM checks
1648      - works for single- and multi-proc.
1649      - output cleaned
1650      - worked successfully for parallel DIVA
1651    o genmake:
1652      - Adding -platform=SP4
1653      - Modif. for DEC Alpha (many don't have makedepend; use mkdep instead).
1654    o Modif. for DIVA:
1655      ctrl_unpack should not be called in intermediate DIVA interval.
1656      (similar thing would apply for active files such as
1657      tbar, sbar, psbar, which should not be reinitialised;
1658      only relevant for ecco-branch)
1659    
1660    checkpoint48h_post
1661    o improve "ini_p_ground" when using finite difference form for calc_phi_hyd
1662    o Added net flux to downward flux conversion to pkg/exf/exf_getffields.F
1663    o Added SEAICE_initialHEFF to pkg/seaice
1664    o ecco_the_model_main.F: SEAICE_WRITE_PICKUP must precede WRITE_CHECKPOINT
1665    
1666    checkpoint48g_post
1667    --- EOS:
1668    o compute locally the pressure for use in EOS: UNESCO, JMD95P, MDJWF
1669      store total Potential in totPhyHyd for diagnostics & EOS.
1670    o fix restart and overlap Pb when using Z-coord and EOS funct. of P
1671    --- Pressure/geopotential gradient:
1672    o use Ro_surf & R_low instead of hFac in cal_phi_hyd:
1673    o NLFS + p-coord.: eta*Alpha' is not longer lagging 1.time-step behind
1674      ( changes results of global_ocean_pressure )
1675    o NLFS + z-coord.: add eta*Rho' contribution.
1676    o accurate phiHyd when using interface-W at the middle between 2 centers
1677     ( changes results of ideal_2D_oce )
1678    o includes r* 2nd term in potential gradient.
1679    
1680    checkpoint48f_post
1681    Merging from release1_p12:
1682    o Modifications for using pkg/exf with pkg/seaice
1683      - improved description of the various forcing configurations
1684      - added basic radiation bulk formulae to pkg/exf
1685      - units/sign fix for evap computation in exf_getffields.F
1686      - updated verification/global_with_exf/results/output.txt
1687    o Added pkg/sbo for computing IERS Special Bureau for the Oceans
1688      (SBO) core products, including oceanic mass, center-of-mass,
1689      angular, and bottom pressure (see pkg/sbo/README.sbo).
1690    o Lower bound for viscosity/diffusivity in pkg/kpp/kpp_routines.F
1691      to avoid negative values in shallow regions.
1692      - updated verification/natl_box/results/output.txt
1693      - updated verification/lab_sea/results/output.txt
1694    o MPI gather, scatter: eesupp/src/gather_2d.F and scatter_2d.F
1695    o Added useSingleCpuIO option (see PARAMS.h).
1696    o Updated useSingleCpuIO option in mdsio_writefield.F to
1697      work with multi-field files, e.g., for single-file pickup.
1698    o pkg/seaice:
1699      - bug fix in growth.F: QNET for no shortwave case
1700      - added HeffFile for specifying initial sea-ice thickness
1701      - changed SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES wind stress implementation
1702    o Added missing /* */ to CPP comments in pkg/seaice, pkg/exf,
1703      kpp_transport_t.F, forward_step.F, and the_main_loop.F
1704    o pkg/seaice:
1705      - adjoint-friendly modifications
1706      - added a SEAICE_WRITE_PICKUP at end of the_model_main.F
1707    
1708    checkpoint48e_post
1709    o New S/R for diagnostic of bottom pressure (phi0surf was missing in c48d_post)
1710    o dynamics: change definition of computational domain & adapt mom_fluxform
1711      accordingly ; when viscA4=0, allows to run the dynamics with Olx=Oly=2.
1712    o following exp works with Olx=Oly=2 (and pass through checkbounds option):
1713        adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 adjustment.128x64x1 adjustment.cs-32x32x1
1714        exp0 exp1 exp2 exp4 exp5 hs94.cs-32x32x5 hs94.128x64x5 hs94.1x64x5
1715        global_ocean.90x40x15 global_with_exf global_ocean_pressure
1716        inverted_barometer solid-body.cs-32x32x1
1717      (high order AdvScheme and/or multiDimAd works with Olx=Oly=2 ? not sure)
1718    
1719    checkpoint48d_post
1720    o in preparation for r*:
1721     a) use pre-computed gradient of hydrostatic potential:
1722        changes in timestep.F & mom_cdscheme.F affects results of ideal_2D_oce
1723     b) move phi0surf from calc_phi_hyd to calc_grad_phi_hyd:
1724        => affects results of glob_oce_pressure (different truncation error)  
1725      update output.txt of ideal_2D_oce & global_ocean_pressure
1726    
1727    checkpoint48d_pre
1728    o in preparation for r*:
1729      new S/R (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F) to compute Hydrostatic potential gradient.
1730      pass the 2 comp. of the grad. as arguments to momentum S/R.
1731      but for the moment, only used if it does not change the results.
1732    o add finite volume form of calc_phi_hyd for buoyancyRelation OCEANIC & OCEANICP
1733    
1734    checkpoint48c_post
1735    Modifications in treatment of initial flux forcing controls
1736    to avoid extra storing of flux fields.
1737    
1738    checkpoint48c_pre
1739    o Added tidal_basin_2d experiment (currently 1D!)
1740    o can use r* Coordinate with OBC (but Orlanski Rad. BC not yet implemented)
1741    
1742  checkpoint48b_post  checkpoint48b_post
1743  o r* coordinate added in #ifdef NONLIN_FRSURF block.  o r* coordinate added in #ifdef NONLIN_FRSURF block.
1744   (modification to pressure gradient not yet implemented)   (modification to pressure gradient not yet implemented)
