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