4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/thsice:
8      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
9        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
10    
11    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
12    o pkg/seaice:
13      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
14        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
15      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
16      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
17        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
18      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
19        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
20        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
21        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
22    o pkg/mdsio:
23      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
24        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
25        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
26        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
27    o pkg/exf & thsice:
28      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
29        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
30    o verification/cfc_example:
31      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
32        illustrate how to use it).
33    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
34      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
35        files to only one time-record.
36      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
37        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
38        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
39        surf-current=0.2m/s.
40      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
41        initial conditions).
42    o verification/cfc_example:
43      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
44        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
45        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
46    o pkg/layers:
47      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
48      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
49    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
50      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
51        anywhere else).
52    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
53      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
54      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
55    o model/src:
56      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
57        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
58    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
59      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
60        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
61        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
62        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
63        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
64        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
65        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
66      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
67        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
68        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
69        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
70        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
71        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
72    o pkg/cheapaml:
73      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
74    o pkg/seaice:
75      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
76        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
77    o model/src:
78      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
79        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
80        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
81    o pkg/cheapaml:
82      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
83        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
84      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
85        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
86      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
87      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
88        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
89    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
90      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
91    o pkg/seaice:
92      - remove legacy branch code.
93      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
94    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
95      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
96        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
97    o pkg/cheapaml:
98      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
99        to load new forcing fields.
100      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
101      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
102        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
103    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
104      - add thermodynamics only test.
105    o verification/cheapAML_box:
106      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
107        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
108      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
109        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
110    
111    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
112    o pkg/cheapaml:
113      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
114      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
115        and fix the AB-2 restart.
116    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
117      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
118      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
119      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
120      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
121    o pkg/seaice:
122      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
123        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
124        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
125        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
126    o model/src:
127      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
128        (in case of a poor convergence).
129    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
130      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
131        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
132        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
133        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
134      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
135        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
136        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
137        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
138    o verification/seaice_obcs:
139      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
140        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
141    o model/src:
142      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
143    o pkg/seaice:
144      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
145        cleaning up the code
146      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
147        second argument
148      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
149        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
150      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
151    o pkg/aim_v23:
152      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
153    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
154      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
155        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
156        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
157            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
158      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
159        default: not compiled and not used.
160    o pkg/seaice:
161      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
162        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
163        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
164      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
165      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
166      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
167    o verification:
168      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
169        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
170        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
171        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
172        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
173      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
174    o pkg/exf:
175      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
176    o verification:
177      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
178        to test pkg/cheapaml.
179    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
180      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
181    o pkg/seaice:
182      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
183      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
184    o eesupp/src:
185       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
186    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
187       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
188         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
189       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
190         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
191         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
192         undocumented ifdefs
193       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
194    o tools/genmake2:
195      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
196        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
197    
198    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
199    o pkg/autodiff:
200      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
201        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
202        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
203        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
204        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
205    o pkg/obcs:
206      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
207        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
208    o pkg/seaice:
209      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
210        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
211      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
212    o pkg/aim_v23:
213      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
214    o pkg/shap_filt:
215      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
216        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
217    o model/src:
218      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
219        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
220      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
221        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
222        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
223        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
224    o pkg/seaice:
225      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
226        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
227        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
228        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
229        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
230      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
231      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
232        + introduce global field etaZ
233        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
234          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
235        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
236          seaice_preconditioner
237      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
238      - seaice_preconditioner:
239        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
240        + adjust printing of residuals
241      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
242        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
243          seaice_init_fixed.F)
244        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
245        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
246          interval to STDOUT
247      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
248        some operations
249      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
250        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
251        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
252      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
253        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
254    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
255      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
256      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
257    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
258    o pkg/autodiff
259      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
260        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
261        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
262    o pkg/seaice
263      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
264        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
265        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
266        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
267        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
268        code is not complete yet!!
269      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
270    o verification (using seaice):
271      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
272        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
273      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
274      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
275        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
276    o pkg/exf:
277      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
278        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
279        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
280    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
281      - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
282        this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
283    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
284      - remove ALLOW_LAYERS_OUTPUT ; fix snap-shot and time-ave output ;
285      - snap-shot extended to all type of layers (not just the 1rst type);
286      - remove layers variables when corresponding CPP option is undef.
287    o pkg/layers:
288      - rename pkg/layers variable and add new output (layer exist & un-weighted
289        velocity in layer)
290    o pkg/seaice:
291      - simplify (?) ocean-drag coefficent computations by using
292        the same routine in all three solvers (saves some code lines)
293      - remove global fields DRAGA and DRAGS from C-grid code and
294        declare them locally in lsr.F (the only place where they are
295        still used)
296      - update AD output of lab_sea.evp (very sensitive anyway).
297    o pkg/seaice: add Jacobian-free Newton Krylov solver for ice dynamics
298      (Lemieux et al. 2010, 2012). Turn on with the usual SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK
299      and SEAICEuseJFNK=.true. A few things to note:
300      - involves a FGMRES, that is parallel but very inefficient,
301        because of many scalar products (global sums) in the Gram-Schmidt
302        orthogonalization method. Needs to be replaced. Original code
303        from J.-F. Lemieux
304      - preconditioner for FGMRES is a stripped down version of LSOR
305      - SOLV_MAX_ITERS is now used for LSOR as a solver and as a
306        preconditioner. For the preconditioner, the default is set to 10.
307      - Jacobian times vector is computed with finite differences
308      - marginally related to JFNK-solver: add a smooth regularization for
309        zeta with tanh that will improve convergence (Lemieux and Tremblay,
310        2009) for any implicit solver (not implemented for EVP because EVP
311        does not need this regularization in the first place). Define
312        SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to use.
313    o eesupp/src:
314      - check in genmake2 that intrinsic S/R flush is available.
315      - add S/R to flush IO unit (if intrinsic S/R flush is available)
316      - flush standard & error msg unit before MPI termination
317      - if debugMode, flush IO unit after printing msg
318    o pkg/ctrl:
319      - ctrl_unpack.F, ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL code: fix missing argument in call
320        to ctrl_set_unpack_xyz.
321    
322    checkpoint64 (2012/10/09)
323    o pkg/shelfice
324      - in mom_fluxform.F, mom_vecinv.F:
325        CALL SHELFICE_V_DRAG(bi,bj,k,vFld,KE,KappaRU,vF,myThid)
326        Bug fix KappaRU -> KappaRV
327        does not change verification/isomip but may change other setups
328        (presumably constant KappaRU=KappaRV)
329      - fix diagnostics SHIU/Vdrag (thanks to Tom Millgate)
330    o pkg/obcs:
331      - fixed some indexing bugs in obcs_seaice_sponge.F
332      - added obcs relaxation subroutines for HSALT and HSNOW
333      - changes verification/seaice_obcs/results/obcs_seaice_sponge.F
334    o pkg/seaice:
335      - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,
336        default is off for now.
337    o pkg/obcs:
338      - added obcs_seaice_sponge.F for obcs relaxation of seaice variables;
339        see verification/seaice_obcs/input.seaiceSponge for example application.
340      - remove local commom bloc "OBCS_GLOBAL" in obcs_readparms.F and do all the OB
341        index setting by master-thread. This fix multi-threads Pb in previous modifs.
342    o pkg/layers :
343      - add diagnostics to pkg/layers
344      - move the meat of pkg/layers from layers_calc.F to layers_fluxcalc.F
345        (from R.Tulloch). Layers_calc.F now calls layers_fluxcalc.F accordingly.
346    o pkg/generic_advdiff/gad_implicit_r.F :
347      - fix ADVr diagnostics in case of both implicit vertical advection and diffusion.
348    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
349      - fix SItflux diagnostics in virtual salt flux + balanceEmpmr case.
350    o pkg/obcs:
351      - change default setting of OBCS_UVICE_OLD from defined to undef;
352      - use new parameter OB_indexNone for null index value (instead of hard-coded 0)
353        in all pkg/obcs code and in other pkgs; remove k loop in obcs_check_depths.F;
354      - pass OB_indexNone as (new) argument to S/R CTRL_MASK_SET_[X,Y]Z;
355      - change OB null index value (OB_indexNone) to -99 ; this fix the problem
356        with Southern & Western OB at a tile edge (at least in a simple set-up).
357    o pkg/obcs:
358      - change settings of OB index in case OB coincides with tile edge (shared by
359        2 tiles), so that common OB location is registered by both tiles (instead of
360        only 1). However, for Southern and Western OB, index value = 0 is not
361        recognized as valid OB index (=default null value) and needs to be fixed.
362      - modify accordingly OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW and OBCS_MONITOR (avoid double counting)
363      - new parameter "OB_indexNone" for null index value (for now, still zero)
364        to replace hard-coded null index value of zero.
365    o pkg/exch2:
366      - improve W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE (faster) and W2_E2_DEBUG_ON:
367        always check buffer-size (but outside the loop); move checking for valid
368        index from W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE to W2_E2_DEBUG_ON; in W2_E2_DEBUG_ON,
369        print each tile and point connection only if |W2_printMsg|>= 2 and 3.
370    o pkg/ctrl (pack & unpack):
371      - in ctrl_pack.F & ctrl_unpack.F, use the same local file-name variable
372        (locally defined) for different variables (+ remove the variable-specific
373        file name in CTRL_GENARR.h). For now, only implemented for GENARR2/3D_CONTROL
374        (to be extended to other local file names in ctrl.h).
375    o pkg/flt:
376      - add a FLT_Iter0 option (similar to PTRACERS_Iter0).
377    o pkg/mdsio:
378      - fix missing STOP in mdsio_readvec_loc.F (case ioUnit=0) when file is missing
379    o tools/genmake2:
380      - add similar dependences for target EXE_AD & EXE_FTL as we have for EXECUTABLE
381        (added by Alistair in version 1.51 for building without make depend);
382      - remove Header files list (H_SRC_FILES) from the dependence of targets
383         ad_input_code.f & ftl_input_code.f (not clear why it was added in the first
384        place in version 1.23): this save going through staf when unrelated header
385        file has been modified.
386       Note: for an intermediate target (e.g., ad_input_code.f or adtaf) without
387        "make depend" step, still need to do "make links" before "make adtaf".
388    o eesupp/src (+ few pkg src files) & genmake2:
389      - finish to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see;
390      - no longer set ALWAYS_USE_MPI in Makefile (was done by genmake2).
391      - improve genmake2 checking for ALLOW_${PKG} in CPP_OPTIONS.h files (distinguish
392         upper/lower case ; account for space between "#" and undef/define)
393    o pkg/flt (with exch2):
394      - cleaning: fix so that it compiles; move remaining MPI calls out of flt_exch2.F;
395      - simplify threads synchronisation; fix (many issues) multi-threaded with MPI.
396    
397    checkpoint63s (2012/09/05)
398    o pkg/ecco:
399      - remove #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D brackets.
400      - add more relevant #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH ones.
401      - sort out useAtmWind, useSMOOTH, ctrlSmoothCorrel2D.
402    o pkg/ctrl:
403      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h : document CPPs related to smoothing; ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D,
404        ALLOW_CTRL_SMOOTH, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL2D, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL3D.
405      - ctrl.h : document run time params doInitXX, doMainPack, doMainUnpack, doPackDiag,
406        doSinglePrecTapelev (audodiff param!), ctrlSmoothCorrel2D (new) and
407        ctrlSmoothCorrel3D (new).
408        The added ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D replace the old ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D CPP.
409      - ctrl_readparms.F : initialise ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D and read from namelist.
410      - ctrl_init.F ctrl_pack.F ctrl_unpack.F : switch off ustress/vstress
411        controls when useAtmWind, and vice versa.
412      - ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F : UVEL0, VVEL0, edtaux, edtauy cannot be smoothed as tracers.
413      - ctrl_get_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D with
414          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel2D, IF useSMOOTH.
415      - ctrl_map_ini_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D with
416          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel3D, IF useSMOOTH.
417      - ctrl_set_pack_xy[z].F, ctrl_set_unpack_xy[z].F:
418        replace ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D brackets with ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D.
419    o pkg/smooth:
420      - remove un-necessary includes.
421      - remove ALLOW_SMOOTH*D and ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL*D brakets.
422        Those CPP options were never defined, and not necessary.
423    o model/src:
424      - fix CPP brackets in ini_mixing.F (GM_background_K belongs to gmredi).
425      - standard treatment of useSMOOTH.
426    o pkg/autodiff:
427      - add LOGICAL useGGL90inAdMode, useGGL90inFwdMode, useSALT_PLUMEinAdMode,
428        useSALT_PLUMEInFwdMode allowing to switch off ggl90 and salt_plume adjoint.
429    o pkg/exch2:
430      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (in exch2_rx?_cube*.template)
431        + start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see.
432      - make new S/R W2_MAP_PROCS out of w2_eeboot.F to setup exch2 CommonFlag
433        and tiles to process mapping.
434      - re-arrange 3 header files (W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h, _BUFFER.h & _TOPOLOGY.h)
435        moving /EXCH2_FILLVAL_RX/ & /W2_EXCH2_COMMFLAG/ to W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h;
436        rename "exch2_tProc" to "W2_tileProc" and move seting of e2FillValue_RX
437        from w2_eeboot.F to w2_readparms.F.
438    o eesupp/src:
439      - set exchNeedsMemsync & exchUsesBarrier according to "usingMPI" (instead of
440        ALWAYS_USE_MPI) + moved from ini_communication_patterns.F to eeset_parms.F;
441        also move setting of exchCollectStatistics from exch_init.F to eeset_parms.F
442      - in eedie.F and all_proc_die.F, always call MPI_FINALIZE when ALLOW_USE_MPI
443        is defined (remove condition on usingMPI) to match cases where MPI_INIT
444        has been called.
445      - fix bug I put in previous modif of exch_sm_3d_rx.template (not much used);
446      - change default (non-MPI) value of myPid (from 1 to 0) to match MPI settings
447        (so that on 1 proc, get same myPid independently of usingMPI)
448      - add a stop if multi-procs but usingMPI=F ; stop also if usingMPI=T and
449        useCubedSphereExchange with EXCH-1 (safer).
450      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (+ start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI).
451    o pkg/ggl90:
452      - fix bug in filling corner mask array "mskCor" (FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL call)
453        used in ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH code.
454    o pkg/flt:
455      - fix typo in FLT_WITHOUT_Y_PERIODICITY (the effect was to ignore stopping
456        floats at the Southern end of the domain).
457    o eesupp/inc:
458      - add a list of CPP-options which can be set by Makefile (DEF_IN_MAKEFILE.h);
459        but not used (and not to be used) anywhere, just for documentation.
460    o pkg/autodiff, exf, ptracers & seaice (AD & TL output):
461      - comment out the very nasty "writeBinaryPrec = writeStatePrec" line, since:
462        a) can damage previously written records in any other multi-record files.
463        b) if needed, can easily do it cleanly, by calling S/R WRITE_REC_3D_RL/S.
464    o tools/genmake2:
465      - define variable MAKE within Makefile and use it in place of 'make';
466      - update AD_CONFIG.h (if needed) before building any of the executable
467        (forward, adjoint or tangent-lin); this involves a 2nd invocation of make;
468        and add the usual #ifndef/#define AD_CONFIG_H in AD_CONFIG.h;
469      - always print usual warning comment 'this file is automatically generated'
470        from script convert_cpp_cmd2defines (+ remove this warning from genmake2).
471    o pkg/cheapaml:
472      - updated to correspond to the code used in accepted paper (Nico Wienders).
473    o pkg/exf:
474        added run time switch useAtmWind to replace ALLOW_ATM_WIND cpp switch.
475        ALLOW_ATM_WIND now just sets the useAtmWind default (see exf_readparms.F)
476        and force defines ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE (EXF_OPTIONS.h).
477    o pkg/exf, autodiff, ctrl, ecco and seaice:
478        remove ALLOW_ATM_WIND brackets, or replace them with useAtmWind ones.
479    o pkg/ctrl, ecco:
480        allow to compile both ALLOW_U/VSTRESS_CONTROL and ALLOW_U/VWIND_CONTROL.
481        Depending on useAtmWind, one is inactive, and the other is active (see
482        exf_getffields.F/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F).
483    o tools/genmake2:
484      - improve error msg when failing in 2nd test of check_for_broken_Ff
485      - fix option '-makefile' short-name (-mf according to genmake2 -help)
486      - source local config file "genmake_local" just after processing the genmake2
487        command arguments (previously done before processing arg).
488    o pkg/grdchk:
489      - add a call to TURNOFF_MODEL_IO for Tangent-Linear run (in this case, call
490        to this routine from cost_final has been dropped in g_cost_final)
491      - improve printed information (more explicit msg, no longer using "print *,"
492         fix fcpertminus printed value).
493    o model/src:
494      - move call to COST_INIT_VARIA out of packages_init_variables.F directly
495        into initialise_varia.F (just after calling PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES):
496        this prevents getting cost-funct reset in adinitialise_varia recomputations.
497    o pkg/dic:
498      - move initialisation of "freefe" array from from dic_biotic_forcing.F to
499        fe_chem.F: this prevents TAF from dropping this initialisation in TLM code.
500    o pkg/grdchk:
501      - grdchk_main.F : added CALL GLOBAL_SUM_INT( ierr , myThid )
502      - grdchk_getadxx.F etc. : omit I/O if ierr.EQ.0
503    o pkg/autodiff/ctrl/grdchk :
504      - attempt to sort out what works and what does not,
505        with regard to I/O, and to warn/stop accordingly.
506    o pkg/grdchk:
507      - attempt to fix grdchk in the case of useSingleCpuIO.
508      - "if ( myProcId .EQ. grdchkwhichproc .AND. ierr .EQ. 0 )"
509       statements were moved from grdchk_main.F and into
510       grdchk_getadxx.F grdchk_getxx.F grdchk_setxx.F.
511      - a global sum is applied to record numbers icvrec/layer
512       out of grdchk_loc so that they be passed to I/O routines.
513    o pkg/smooth:
514      - fix recomputation that appeared with nlfs : use smooth_recip_hFacC,
515        smooth_hFacW, smooth_hFacS (copied at init_fixed) in 3d case.
516    o verification/testreport:
517      - add option '-tlm' for Tangent-Linear test (-adm,-oad,-tlm are all exclusive);
518      - can also use compressed (gzip) reference output file;
519      - change format (in pkg/grdchk) of TLM output (+ add forward gradient)
520        to be easier to collect by testreport.
521      - update existing TLM output (half out-of-date by more than 3 yrs).
522      - report NETCDF & LAPACK settings (from genmake2) in output dir.
523      - report run-time in each individual summary (previously only for AD test);
524        for TLM test, add also TAF version.
525      - add daily TLM test on (old) aces cluster + weekly test on baudelaire.
526    
527    checkpoint63r (2012/08/15)
528    o tools/genmake2:
529      - fix Makefile for target ftlall (+ update files to clean after make ftlall)
530    o pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F :
531      - fix fc print statements (to stdout and costfunction0000) so
532        that the printed value is always after the global sum.
533    o pkg/seaice/seaice_dynsolver.F :
534      - fix ice strength assymptote at SEAICE_area_max<1
535        (no change for the standard case of SEAICE_area_max=1)
536    o some cleaning:
537      - pkg source files: ensure that all *.F files from each pkg included the
538        corresponding ${PKG}_OPTIONS.h file (except stand-alone src file which
539        only includes CPP_EEOPTIONS.h); fix S/R CTRL_SMOOTH ; update AD experiment
540        code_ad/*.F src files; add new option-file in pkg/admtlm + corresponding
541        includes;
542      - model/src: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h wherever ALLOW_AUTODIFF[_TAMC] is used.
543      - ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL: add a stop in S/R CTRL_CHECK in case ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
544        is undef; also define /DYNVARS_DIFFKR/ common block in DYNVARS.h when
545        ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL is defined, to allow to compile and reach this stop.
546      - update option-file CPP_OPTIONS.h of all AD experiments:
547        * no longer include PACKAGES_CONFIG.h ;
548        * includes ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h if PACKAGES_CONFIG.h has been included ;
549        * def/undef ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR independently of ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL (before
550          including ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h).
551    o pkg/cost, pkg/ctrl, pkg/ecco option-file:
552      - clean-up and split content of old pkg/ecco/ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h file into
553        separated pkg option-file (done according to old doc from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h,
554        not necessary accurate).
555      - add a template for option-file ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h, mostly empty, in
556        pkg/autodiff, i.e., the 1rst pkg to compile for adjoint built, with lines to
557        deliberately break compilation (a remainder that it needs to be customized)
558      - in pkg/ecco, includes ECCO_OPTIONS.h instead of COST_OPTIONS.h
559      - rename COST_CPPOPTIONS.h to COST_OPTIONS.h
560      - rename CTRL_CPPOPTIONS.h to CTRL_OPTIONS.h
561    o tools/genamke2:
562      - check for lapack.
563    o pkg/cost and pkg/ecco : attempt to sort out some of the limiting intricacies.
564      - pkg/cost.cost_final.F : allow for use of pkg/ecco and pkg/cost cost functions
565        jointly. The exclusive ifdefs were removed, to add costs terms (when defined)
566        from both packages.
567      - the fc global sum in pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F was removed accordingly.
568      - for objf_atl we use either the pkg/ecco or the pkg/cost term depending on CPPs.
569      - pkg/ecco and model/src : add CPP brackets around pkg/cost and pkg/ctrl includes
570        of "CTRL_SIZE.h" "ctrl.h" "ctrl_dummy.h" "optim.h" / "cost.h" accordingly.
571    o pkg/cost : add comments to explain special and/or untested setups.
572    o pkg/exf:
573      - use EXF_OPTIONS.h to set pkg/exf options except if done in ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h
574        (previously, ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC was controling this switch).
575    o verification/*/code_ad:
576      mimimal cleaning of AD experiments ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h option-file:
577      - reccord when this file is included (define ECCO_CPPOPTIONS_H)
578      - remove the most obvious obsolete features (e.g., #define ALLOW_COST not
579        allowed since Oct 2003 in any option-file except in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h)
580    o pkg/seaice :
581      - added possibility to change ice strength/PRESS0 relationship to
582        HEFF, according to the following run time parameters
583        SEAICEpresPow0 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength below SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
584        SEAICEpresPow1 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength above SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
585        SEAICEpresH0   :: HEFF threshold for ice strength            (m)
586    o pkg/ggl90 :
587      - added run time flag mxlSurfFlag to include the code that ensure
588        mixing between first and second level (previously included as a comment)
589    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/input_ad/data.autodiff :
590      - add test of newly added dumpAdByRec=T option where
591        we write all records to one file per variable.
592    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/code_ad/CPP_OPTIONS.h :
593      - switch to #define ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX and ALLOW_BALANCE_FLUXES
594        to check that this code is ok with taf and compiles in adjoint.
595    o pkg/autodiff :
596      - added run time param dumpAdByRec : ad dump format switch.
597        If true then write all records to one file per variable.
598        Else write one file per record (remains the default).
599      - revise seaice_ad_dump.F and exf_adjoint_snapshots_ad.F accordingly.
600    o pkg/seaice:
601     - Added SEAICEuseTILT run time switch : if set to
602       false then omit the tilt term in seaice dynamics.
603     - Fix free drift calculation.
604    o pkg/shelfice:
605      When initializing SHELFICEDragQuadratic, set default to be
606      consistent with shiCdrag in case SHELFICEuseGammaFrict is used,
607      but retain option to set it independently
608      (inconsistenty spotted by Veronique Dansereau)
609    o eesupp/inc:
610      - in EEPARAMS.h, add real-type constant for some frequently used simple number
611         (0,1,2,1/2), with name explicitly referring to RS/RL type.
612    o model/src:
613      - move balancing of relaxation terms to new S/R balance_relax.F.
614    o pkg/autodiff:
615      re-write active I/O high-level (control) S/R:
616      - rename  S/R ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_RL to ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_3D_RL
617      - add 1 more argument (useCurrentDir) to replace the "_LOC" 2nd set of S/R.
618      - use standard pkg/mdsio I/O routines (MDS_READ/WRITE_SEC_XZ/YZ  and
619        MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD); change loops to multi-threads.
620      - update and merge active_file_control_slice.flow into active_file_control.flow
621      - update the calls in lower level S/R (active_file.F, active_file_g.F and
622        active_file_ad.F) keeping the argument list and function unchanged.
623      - also update lower-level "_LOC" version (call same S/R with "useCurrentDir
624        =.TRUE.") and remove high-level (control) _loc version (not called anymore).
625      - new low-level active I/O routines, one for each type (RL/RS), for active var
626        of various (XY,XZ,YZ) shape and level number (arguments: arrShape, myNr);
627        fix ctrl_init_wet.F & ecco_cost_weights.F by calling the new S/R with the
628        right type.
629    o autodiff and RS=real*4:
630      - call the right type (_RS instead of _RL) of S/R in few output S/R (pkg/exf
631        ad-monitor and snapshots); disable arrType='RS' in mdsio_gl*.F ;
632      - change argument type of 3-D mask argument to _RS to match type in the call
633        (in seaice_cost*.F, ctrl_*_gen.F and *ctrl_bound.F); to be continued.
634    o pkg/thsice:
635      - re-anable balanceEmPmR when useSEAICE=T with useThSIce=T.
636      - option to correct ocean fresh-water flux for imbalance of Atmos+Land
637        fresh-water flux: uniform correction or proportional to local precip.
638    o pkg/ctrl:
639      - new header file CTRL_SIZE.h for parameters maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D
640      - redefine CPP option ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL to
641                            ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL_NONGENERIC
642      - verification/hs94.1x64x5/ tests ALLOW_GENARR{2D,3D}_CONTROL
643    
644    checkpoint63q (2012/07/30)
645    o pkg/autodiff:
646      note about monitor and snap-shot of ad-variables:
647      a) need to apply ADEXCH before monitor or output of ad-vars to include
648       overlap contributions (was done for adjDump but missing for monitor).
649      b) since ADEXCH implies adding overlap values to interior array, machine
650       truncation error is expected when adding an ADEXCH call in the middle of
651       the time-stepping (although mathematically identical).
652      modifs:
653      - fix some incorrect type (RL/RS, UV/scalar) in ADEXCH calls and ad-vars
654        declaration (adEddyPsiX,adEddyPsiY in adcommon.h).
655      - add new run-time params (dumpAdVarExch & mon_AdVarExch) to select how  to
656        apply ADEXCH before monitor or snap-shot of ad-variables:
657           =0 : no ADEXCH ; =1 : do ADEXCH ; =2 : apply ADEXCH on a local copy.
658      - implement new method (copy+adexch) for snap-shot and monitor of main model
659        ad-vars (initially not used by default -> output unchanged).
660      - change default (set to 2) to use new method and update few output_adm.txt
661        with accurate ad-monitor (global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
662        and both tutorial_tracer_adjsens tests).
663      - switch 2 global_ocean.cs32x15 AD-tests to AB-2 (seaice_dynmix & thsice)
664        and turn off momDissip_In_AB in the 2 other (needed for stable AB-3).
665    o pkg/ctrl:
666      enable the use of a variable number (maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D) of
667      generic control variables via
668      #define ALLOW_GENARR2D_CONTROL and/or #define ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL
669      Only required customization should be S/R ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F
670      (routine in repository contains example)
671    o pkg/exf:
672      - fix and refine checking of surface-relaxation setting when using EXF
673    o verification (adjoint exp):
674      - reduce length of simulation by half for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15
675        (std, seaice & seaice_dynmix) and exp tutorial_dic_adjoffline; update output.
676    o pkg/mom_common (mom_u/v_bottomdrag), pkg/shelfice (shelfice_u/v_drag)
677      - replace if statements KE.ne.0 with KE.gt.0 to avoid sqrt of negative numbers
678        of KE that can occur with aggressive optimization
679      + put quadratic bottom drag calculation in separated loops (only done if
680        using bottomDragQuadratic)
681    o model/src: CG2D_NSA
682      - clean-up:  stop if cg2dNormaliseRHS=T and AUTODIFF
683         and replace GLOBAL_SUM calls with GLOBAL_SUM_TILE.
684      - in test-exp that uses CG2D_NSA (bottom_ctrl & tutorial_tracer_adjsens),
685         change cg2d residual target to be expressed in Wunits (=> do not normalise
686         RHS ; this fix global_max Pb with TAF); update output.
687    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
688       improve parameter consistency (and get rid of warnings):
689       - use deltaTFreeSurf=deltaTtracer (better with NonLin FreeSurf);
690       - switch Temp Adv Scheme from 81 to 80 (no limiter since theta < 0 is physical)
691       - use staggerTimeStep (for stability) in som81; use default rotation period.
692    o pkg/exch2:
693      - with empty facet: fix compact-format (W2_mapIO=1) definition (was previously
694        reset to 0 = 1 long line in X)
695    o pkg/mdsio:
696      - fix reading of dimensions from meta file for large-size domain
697    o model/src:
698      - fix saltIsActiveTr setting for IdealGas eosType (eosType is 6 character long);
699      - to refine CS-grid check, add logical flag "hasWetCSCorners": true if using
700        Cubed-Sphere Exch with CS-corners inside the domain;
701        make new S/R INI_GLOBAL_DOMAIN from code in ini_linear_phisurf.F to calculate
702        globalArea and to set hasWetCSCorners.
703      - add warning if usingCurvilinearGrid and momAdvection in flux-form (missing
704        metric terms); stop if hasWetCSCorners=T and momAdvection in flux-form.
705      - re-activate the stop if useCDscheme and hasWetCSCorners=T (previously if
706        useCDscheme and useCubedSphereExchange).
707    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F :
708      - compute the SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX term accordingly
709        for the (.NOT.useRealFreshWaterFlux).OR.(nonlinFreeSurf.EQ.0)
710        when the previous code was not correct.
711      - in all cases diagnoze the boundary condition mismatch to SIaaflux
712      - in the case of useRealFreshWaterFlux.AND.(nonlinFreeSurf.GT.0) add
713        that term to QNET (essentially to set the melt/freeze water to 0degC).
714        when SEAICEheatConsFix is true, so that the ocean+ice budget heat is closed.
715    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice :
716      - add SEAICEheatConsFix in data.seaice, ensuring closed ocean+ice heat budget.
717      - add diagnostics (commented out) for budget test using my matlab codes (gcmfaces).
718      - update results (output.seaice.txt) accordingly.
719    o verification/lab_sea/input/data.seaice :
720      - remove SEAICEheatConsFix, which is now be tested
721        in global_ocean.cs32x15. The presently coded fix
722        is only consistent with real fresh water + nlfs.
723      - update results (output.txt) accordingly.
724    o pkg/salt_plume: added diagnotic for salt tendency (oceSPtnd).
725    o AD_CONFIG.h file:
726      - in genmake2: remove "#undef ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION" from AD_CONFIG.h;
727      - remove #include "AD_CONFIG.h" from all included OPTIONS files and
728        add it explicitly in each fortran src file where it is needed.
729        motivation: header file AD_CONFIG.h is generated/modified after "make depend"
730        thus introducing potentially wrong dependency; therefore, better to include
731        it only where it's really needed, and after any other included OPTIONS file
732        (less tempting to bring conditional includes according to ALLOW_ADJOINT_RUN
733        or ALLOW_TANGENTLINEAR_RUN).
734    
735    checkpoint63p (2012/07/06)
736    o pkg/autodiff:
737      - rename S/R INI_AUTODIFF to AUTODIFF_INIT_VARIA ;
738      - create new header file "AUTODIFF_PARAMS.h" for pkg/autodiff parameters
739        which are now read from new parameter file "data.autodiff" (inAdExact
740        previously in "data", use{KPP/GMRedi/SEAICE}inAdMode previously in data.pkg)
741      - add file "data.autodiff" in all verification/*/input_ad/ directories.
742      - add run-time parameter to turn On/Off SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT in adjoint/forward
743        mode (used in global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix test exp.)
744    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
745      - add extra sub-verification which uses "SOM" advection scheme
746        (2nd Order-Moment Advection Scheme, Prather Limiter) with
747          #define GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV in GAD_OPTIONS.h
748        and in data:
749          multiDimAdvection=.TRUE.,
750          tempAdvScheme=81,
751          saltAdvScheme=81,
752    o model/src:
753      - introduce ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX which allow the removal
754       of the global mean of relaxation terms by setting
755       balanceThetaClimRelax and balanceSaltClimRelax
756      - disable balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet in the case when useSeaice.
757       This case is now treated appropriately in seaice_growth.F
758    o pkg/seaice:
759      - do balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet based on the net fluxes
760        (SItflux) that enter the ocean+ice system rather than QNET
761        and EMPMR. Works best in real fresh water.
762      - SIatmFW, SIatmQnet, and SItflux computations had to be moved
763        out of the diagnotics bloc, and stored in global arrays.
764    
765    checkpoint63o (2012/06/29)
766    o vertical mixing schemes:
767      - remove unused S/R CALC_BUOYANCY (left from branch-atmos merging)
768      - replace computation of density (in Function STATE1, opps_calc.F) by a call
769        to S/R FIND_RHO_SCALAR
770      - pass sigmaR to S/R PP81_CALC, MY82_CALC (but not yet used) and to GGL90_CALC
771        and use it for N^2 calculation in ggl90_calc.F (save 2 density computations);
772        affects output (vermix.ggl90) at truncation level.
773    o testreport:
774      - change adjustment of SIZE.h for mpi+mth testing: preserve enough tiles
775        (nSx,nSy) for the number of threads (from eedata.mth)
776    o model/src:
777      - remove 2nd set of calls at the top of initialise_varia.F (Adjoint part)
778        related to Non_Lin Free-Surf or Bottom-Control (but not longer necessary).
779    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
780      - compile with ALLOW_CG2D_NSA
781      - run with nonlinFreeSurf=3
782      - update reference output_adm.txt
783    o tools/genmake2:
784      - add "-DHAVE_NETCDF" to the DEFINES list when NetCDF is available ;
785        refine usePROFILES switching off (only when NetCDF is not available).
786    o verification (atmospheric set-up):
787      - change eosType='IDEALGAS' to eosType='IDEALG' to match variable declaration
788    o pkg/profiles : refine profiles and files handling.
789    o model/src and pkg/ecco : introduce run-time switch usePROFILES.
790    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F and pkg/exf/EXF_OPTIONS.h :
791      - changes to use model/src/the_main_loop.F rather than the ecco version
792        in ecco type adjoint runs.
793    o model/src:
794      - move computation of recip of grid distance & area from INI_MASKS_ETC to INI_GRID
795      - move setting of h0Fac[C,W,S] from INI_LINEAR_PHISURF to INI_MASKS_ETC
796      - update_masks_etc.F: rename SMOOTH*_R4,R8 function to the corresponding type (RS,RL)
797    o model/src:
798      - fix S/R UPDATE_CG2D for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL case (was empty before);
799        update output of test experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5.
800    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
801      - implement vertical bi-harmonic diffusion (for now, only for T & S and
802        only explicitly).
803    o verification/bottom_ctrl_5x5/
804      update reference output (results changed quite some time ago,
805      not sure when; but new reference results look ok in terms of grdchk)
806    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/
807      For verification purposes, the exact adjoint rather than an approx.
808      should be used (e.g., to comare against F.D. or TLM).
809      removed autodiff_inadmode*_ad.F routines in code_ad/
810      Update results/ accordingly.
811    o pkg/cal:
812      - change cal_getdate.F so that output date is function of input time only
813        (less ambiguous, not mixed up with input iteration number).
814      - fix calendarDumps for non-zero phase-lag (S/R CAL_TIME2DUMP).
815    o pkg/diagnostics:
816      - implement calendarDumps also for stats-diags
817      - implement calendarDumps also for snap-shot output (negative freq)
818      - for now, ignores calendarDumps if non-zero phase-lag.
819    
820    checkpoint63n (2012/06/04)
821    o model/src:
822      - recompute rSurfW & S to ensure consistent column thickness (needed for rStar)
823        between Sum_k(hFac*drF) and rSurf-rLow, for now only when using pkg/shelfice;
824      - use h0FacC, W & S to compute hFac_surfC, W & S in calc_surf_dr.F (more
825        similar to calc_r_star.F); update results of experiment internal_wave and
826        tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
827    o pkg/shelfice:
828      - add parameterisation of advective-diffusive flux into the ice shelf
829        according to Holland and Jenkins (1999), eq.22-33, as suggested by Jan De Ryd
830      - simply eps3/3a computation
831    o eesupp:
832     - add new CPP option (DISCONNECTED_TILES) to disconnect tiles (no exchange
833       between tiles, just fill-in edges assuming locally periodic subdomain) and
834       add corresponding exchange subroutines (EXCH0);
835     - new CG-solver version (_EX0) for disconnected-tiles special case.
836    o model/src (CG-solvers):
837     - modify Single-Reduction version (CG2D_SR) in case cg2dMaxIters is reached
838       (similar final residual output and max-Iter number as with standard version);
839     - allows to store and use lowest-residual solution (standard & _SR versions);
840     - cleaning up (remove old, commented out code, LETS_MAKE_JAM ...).
841     - by default, also compile CG2D_SR version (define ALLOW_SRCG in CPP_OPTIONS.h)
842    o eesup/src:
843     - global_vec_sum.F cleaning: add a BARRIER ; update comments ; remove ndef
844       ALWAYS_USE_MPI (no longer needed after fixing usingMPI settings - March 2012)
845    o pkg/salt_plume added to lab_sea/input_ad.noseaicedyn
846    
847    checkpoint63m (2012/04/27)
848    o pkg/shelfice:
849     - account for partical cells in surface level below ice-shelf for hydrostatic
850       pressure calculion (set uniformFreeSurfLev to F); update isomip experiments.
851    o ad test experiments:
852     - update and rename to "ad_optfile.local" local AD-optfile specific to a
853       particular adjoint verification experiment (in verification/*/code_ad/)
854    o pkg/seaice & pkg/exf:
855     - Part two of ECCO-CLIVAR code merges.
856       Completes merge of seaice area relax. code.
857       Requires unified CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX
858       to be set in EXF_OPTIONS.h since this pkg controls its I/O
859       (and avoids second CPP option in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
860     - change default value of costIceStart & costIceEnd to a valid date.
861     - add snowPrecip to HSNOW in seaice_growth
862    o pkg/ptracers:
863     - move ptracers summary and setup check into separated S/R ; add a check for
864       valid PTRACERS_Iter0 value (error+stop or just warning).
865    o pkg/cal (+ pkg/ecco):
866     - avoid calling a S/R with 2 times the same arg (FWD: unless both are only used
867       as input; and for AD, unless both are not differentiable (e.g., k index)).
868    o model/src:
869     - define internal flag "uniformFreeSurfLev" (=T when free-surface level-index
870       is everywhere k=1) to speed-up some calculations (by pass kSurf reference);
871       temporary set to usingZCoords value (to be changed to F when using shelfice).
872     - hydrostatic pressure: implement partial cell near the surface also for
873       Z-coordinates (for the case where uniformFreeSurfLev=F); replace test on
874       usingZCoords with test on uniformFreeSurfLev where needed (in NonHyd code).
875    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_init.F:
876     - add a formal parameter to s/r ctrl_init_rec to print
877       xx_$(ctrl_valiable)_file for easier debugging
878     - move call of cal_* routines into the if-block where they are really
879       needed so that xx_$(ctrl_variable)_period can be 0 or -12 without having
880       to specify a startdate
881    o pkg/seaice:
882     - update comments in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (+ similar update of lab_sea/code and
883       global_ocean.cs32x15/code versions).
884     - turn on seaice Multi-category (in data.seaice, SEAICE_multDim=7) for
885       verification experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice and update results.
886    o pkg/exf:
887     - new S/R EXF_GETFIELD_START to return starting-time of a forcing field
888       (according to useExfYearlyFields).
889    o pkg/cal:
890     - move calendar setting & summary (previously in cal_readparams.F) into new
891       S/R CAL_INIT_FIXED to be called later in the initialisation process, once
892       length of the simulation is set (after SET_PARMS call); This is an attempt
893       to fix Pb when, e.g.: pkg/longstep, modifies the length of the run.
894     - For safety: keep a record of pkg/cal parameter settings status
895               to allow to STOP if one pkg/cal S/R is called too early.
896     - add a stop in all basic pkg/cal subroutines if called before setting is done.
897     - modify cal_getdate.F: stop when nothing was returned;
898       if called with myIter=-1, simply retrun modelBaseDate (1,2 = startDate_1,_2);
899       this allows to remove "cal.h" from seaice_read_parms.F & init_mnc_vars.F.
900    
901    checkpoint63l (2012/04/04)
902    o pkg/bbl:
903      - fix call to FIND_RHO_2D in bbl_calc_rho.F (case multi-tiles per proc);
904        update global_with_exf output.yearly.txt file.
905    o pkg/cal:
906      - start to clean-up cal_set.F ; fix for the case where baseTime is non-zero.
907      - remove 2 unsused and very short (1 line only) functions ;
908      - remove unsused subroutines from AD-Diff list.
909    o model/src:
910      - start to implement clean wait to stop in initialization S/R (config_check.F,
911         packages_check.F, ini_parms.F and pkg/obcs/obcs_check.F + pkg/mypackage)
912    o folowing PRINT_MESSAGE changes:
913      - remove reminder multiple print to the same file (STDOUT) when multi-threads.
914    o pkg/bbl:
915      - modification so it can work with z*
916      - replace deltaT with dTtracerLev(k) for asynchronous time stepping
917      - global_with_exf/input.yearly verification; changes output.yearly.txt
918    o eesupp/src:
919      - PRINT_MESSAGE: use OpenMP critical instruction (similar to PRINT_ERROR);
920        writing to unit 0 (if unit=errorMessageUnit) extended to the case myThid=1
921      - CHECK_THREADS: specific code if using OpenMP threading: improve checking of
922        # of threads across processors (e.g., different env OMP_NUM_THREADS setting)
923      - improve special preliminary call to EESET_PARMS (if eedata is read 2 times).
924      - when using MPI, always set usingMPI=T ; set default accordingly and stop
925        if not consistent.
926      - ALL_PROC_DIE: add a BARRIER after MPI_FINALIZE call ; skip this when thread
927        argument is zero (in case called within single-thread section).
928    o pkg/fizhi:
929        clean-up turbulence cold-start switch: decided in fizhi_init_vars.F, stored
930        in common bloc (fizhi_coms.h) and then passed as argument up to S/R TURBIO.
931    o pkg/exch2:
932      - add argument "updateCorners" to S/R exch2_get_uv_bounds (enable to
933        activate EXCH_IGNORE_CORNERS in vector EXCH S/R).
934      - switch 1rst EXCH call to IGNORE_CORNERS (instead of UPDATE_CORNERS)
935        but keep the 2nd with UPDATE_CORNERS: this prevents overwriting good data
936        with bad ones coming from a not-yet-updated halo.
937        This should fix the problem when sNx <> sNy and GCD(sNx,sNy) < 2*Olx.
938    o pkg/frazil:
939        move FrzForcT diag from frazil_diagnostics_state.F to frazil_calc_rhs.F
940        http://mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2012-March/005384.html
941    o model/src/config_check.F: add a check for OLx>sNx/OLy>sNy
942    o verification/lab_sea
943      * #undef SEAICE_EXCLUDE_FOR_EXACT_AD_TESTING
944      * #define ALLOW_SST_CONTROL & ALLOW_SST_CONTROL
945      * nTimeSteps 3 -> 4
946      * changed reference output accordingly
947    o pkg/ctrl:
948      * fix ctrl_get_gen for xx_sst, xx_sss
949    o pkg/fizhi:
950      - fix 2 calls to S/R GRD2MSC (argument igrd) in update_earth_exports.F
951        update results of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (fail with only 6 digits for cg2d)
952      - by default, use new version of S/R GETPWHERE (#define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE);
953        fix few out-of-bounds indices in referencing vars (initialise igrd to 1);
954        clean-up fizhi_turb.F (remove unused & uninitialised qdiaglsm array).
955    o pkg/gmredi:
956      - add diagnostic of Redi (main diagnonal) vertical diffusive flux of Temp
957    o pkg/fizhi:
958      - fix few initialisation and multi-tile Pb: aqualev & gridalt now pass the
959        (old)aces open64 tuv test.
960    o pkg/icefront: fix bug and reorder loop in icefront_init_varia.F
961    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
962      - fix 1 loop range in mom_vecinv.F to be like all the other loops which
963        set/update gu,gv/Diss (fix Pb of uninitialised fVerUkp in admom_vecinv
964        with non-lin free-surf).
965    o model/src: move k-loop outside of i/j-loops when (re-)computing R_low
966      in ini/update_masks_etc.F in order to avoid -O3 optimization problems with
967      some compilers (gfortran 4.6.0 on MacOS)
968    o momentum:
969      - separate fVer?(:,:,kUp) & fVer?(:,:,kDown) in argument list of MOM_FLUXFORM
970        & MOM_VECINV subroutines (to help TAF). This fixes Pb of uninitialised
971        fVer?(kUp) in admom_fluxform with non-lin free-surf or bottom control.
972    
973    checkpoint63k (2012/03/17)
974    o model/src:
975       - selectAddFluid (ALLOW_ADDFLUID): add missing term in horizontal momentum
976         flux-form (mom_fluxform.F) and vertical momentum (calc_gw.F) equations.
977       - SOLVE_DIAGONAL: switch default to use adjoinable & vectorized version
978         (#undef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY); update output of exp. front_relax.bvp.
979    o model/src: solve_*diagonal.F
980       - replace division with multiplication by inverse (similar to original version)
981         update output of AD exp. global_ocean.90x40x15.
982       - fix pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_psi_bvp.F & pkg/ggl90/ggl90_calc.F
983         to enable the use of the vectorized & differentiable solve_tridiagonal.F
984       - test exp. global_ocean.90x40x15/input_ad: switch to advection scheme 20 for
985         vertical advection (to get solve_tridiagonal tested in AD mode).
986    o pkg/seaice: ECCO-CLIVAR merge:
987      1. seaice AREA relaxation
988         * CPP option: SEAICE_ALLOW_AREA_RELAXATION
989         * runtime flag: SEAICE_tauAreaObsRelax
990      2. modified global mean cost imbalance code: CPP option
991          ALLOW_SSH_GLOBMEAN_COST_CONTRIBUTION
992    o another iteration on solve_*diagonal.F
993       Make choices independent of AUTODIFF
994       Default will be the adjoinable vectorized version.
995       Alternative choices are:
996       * non-adjoinable original version with low memory footprint:
997         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY
998       * still adjoinable but does not vectorize (k as inner-most loop):
999         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER (keeping SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY undef)
1000    o testreport
1001     - add option to use a home made wrapper around "make"
1002     - remove MITGCM_IEEE env. variable (no longer active)
1003    o pkg/shelfice
1004     - improve computation of friction velocity for velocity dependent
1005       exchange coefficients: include velocities into SHELFICEBoundaryLayer
1006       block to average velocities vertically
1007     - add TAF store directives for SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
1008    o Modify diagonal solvers, now three versions (upon request):

1018      All flags are currently set within routines, but could/should be moved to CPP-options.
1019      Array bounds for 1. are as before, for 2.,3. cover the entire domain
1020      (could be changed for 1. too).
1021    o verification/lab_sea (fwd):
1022      - update the 4 fwd lab_sea test experiment: no longer SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
1023        use 7 categories (except hb87), new solve4temp params (except salt_plume),
1024        constant salinity (=4) or variable salinity (salt_plume) done through
1025        SItracer.
1026    o pkg/seaice:
1027      - rename parameters: SIsalFrac to SEAICE_saltFrac & SIsal0 to SEAICE_salt0;
1028      - remove old parameters ( SEAICE_freeze, SEAICEturbFluxFormula, SEAICE_gamma_t,
1029         SEAICE_gamma_t_frz, SEAICE_availHeatTaper & SEAICE_availHeatFracFrz)
1030        from SEAICE_PARMS.h ; still need to fix seaice_cost_sst.F (broken when
1031        SEAICE_freeze got retired) but already better than previously with
1032        SEAICE_freeze=123456.7 deg.C;
1033      - move setting of facOpenGrow/Melt from SEAICE_INIT_FIXED to SEAICE_READPARMS
1034        (safer multi-threaded setting); always set SEAICEuseEVP;
1035      - setting of ocean-ice turb. flux coeff: moved from SEAICE_CHECK to
1036        SEAICE_READPARMS & SEAICE_INIT_FIXED (this fixes wrong summary report);
1037        stop if multiple specifications for the same coeff; make sure default
1038        SEAICE_mcPheePiston is compatible with drF(1) & deltaT.
1039    o pkg/obcs:
1040      - allow to switch to upwind 1rst order advection scheme for the advective
1041        flux computation at the open-boundary; disabled for adjoint built.
1042    o pkg/ptracers:
1043      - rename PTRACERS_RESTART.h -> PTRACERS_START.h
1044      - rename ptracers_fields_blocking_exchanges.F -> ptracers_fields_blocking_exch.F
1045      - add parameter to decide when to start a tracer; use internal flag to
1046        know which tracer to step-forward; switch this internal flag at the top
1047        of forward_step.F (new S/R PTRACERS_SWITCH_ONOFF); for now, not enabled
1048        for adjoint built.
1049    o pkg/seaice:
1050      - add SEAICE_SIZE.h anywhere in the code where SEAICE.h is included ;
1051      - move MULTDIM declaration and setting from SEAICE.h to SEAICE_SIZE.h ;
1052      - keep experiment offline_exf_seaice truly single category (set MULTDIM=1).
1053    o pkg/ecco:
1054      - fix writing of output file DiagnosCost_ClimSalt/Theta
1055        and DiagnosCost_DriftSalt/Theta (if multi-tiles per proc).
1056    o pkg/seaice:
1057      - add missing initialisation of COR_ICE array in dynsolver.F
1058      - merging SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY define and undef cases. Now the same code is
1059        compiled either way, and is tested in all exps (multidim was only tested
1060        in lab_sea ad before).
1061      - cosmetic change to prepare for future addition of ITD. no change to results.
1062        no defaults change.
1063      - added run time param SEAICE_multDim (7 for SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY, 1 otherwise).
1064      - by lack of adequate verification experiments, I further used custom versions
1065        of global_ocean.cs32x15 to test multicat or not, with pickup or not. All
1066        should be correct.
1067      - avoid recomputations in ad.
1068    o array initialisation in adjoint mode:
1069      1) pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_ke.F:
1070        add full array initialisation of KE inside mom_calc_ke.F (ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC):
1071        The S/R which calls MOM_CALC_KE initialises KE but in some recomputation
1072        part this initialisation is gone, resulting in Floating Point Exception
1073        (caught by open64 compiler with debug option).
1074      2) model/src/convective_weights.F
1075        set output convectCount over the full array range (instead of doing
1076        an update): this fix a similar issue when called within recomputation (adjoint)
1077        which could by-pass the initialisation (normally done in the caller S/R).
1078    o pkg/seaice:
1079      - final version of turbulent flux params, as agreed at MIT ice meet:
1080           SEAICE_mcPheePiston (default is ~ 0.000875)
1081           SEAICE_mcPheeTaper (default is 0.)
1082           SEAICE_frazilFrac (defualt is 1.)
1083           SEAICE_mcPheeStepFunc (default is false)
1084      - changes results at trunction error level
1085      - ifdef SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES, disallow SEAICE_waterAlbedo
1086    o added pkg/frazil:
1087      - see frazil_description.tex for details
1088      - verification experiment is global_with_exf/input.yearly; changes output.yearly.txt
1089    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F
1090      - fix exponents for velocity dependent exchange coefficients: change
1091        from 2/3(=0) to 0.66666666666666667
1092      - move computation of velocity dependent exchange coefficients into
1093        separate loop, so that it applies to both thermodynamics
1094      - move some divisions by constants out of loops
1095    
1096    checkpoint63j (2012/02/16)
1097    o pkg/seaice:
1098      - overhaul of seaice_summary.F after feb 2012 clean-up of seaice_growth.F etc.
1099      - SItracer:  added run time params, and allow coupling to ocn salinity.
1100    o pkg/seaice: remove (almost) all divisions by constants within loops
1101      in seaice_growth.F and seaice_solve4temp.F, this changes (only) the cg2d
1102      results of global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice from 16 to 11 digits (but only
1103      those, caused by 1/QI -> recip_QI) -> update output.seaice.txt,
1104      output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt and also lab_sea: output_adm.evp.txt
1105    o pkg/seaice :
1106      - simplify McPhee tapering, and allow to use it with SEAICEturbFluxFormula
1107        = 1 or 2, using newly added run time parameter SEAICE_availHeatTaper.
1108      - fix d_AREAbyATM, d_AREAbyOCN, d_AREAbyICE diags I broke in r1.148.
1109      - add permanent SItflux diag that corresponds to TFLUX but includes
1110        ice+snow. Hence SItflux-TFLUX should match the ice+snow heat budget.
1111      - allow activation/testing of a fix for suspected missing term in
1112        ocn-ice heat budget (to be confirmed). To test this, you want to
1113        undef SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX, and then set the run time param
1114        SEAICEheatConsFix to .TRUE. that also allows the 'SIaaflux' diagnostic.
1115      - no change in results, fwd or ad.
1116    o global_ocean.cs32x15/results: 3 changes following from the pkg/seaice commit below:
1117      - switch to variable freezing point.
1118           Results change : cg2d -> 1 digits; ad -> 3-6-6 digits.
1119      - bug fix : the sublimation term that was missing is now activated.
1120           Results change : cg2d -> 2 digits; ad -> 8-6-6 digits.
1121      - bug fix : flooding sign term for SIsal0.NE.0.
1122           Result change : cg2d -> 8 digits; ad -> 11-12-9 digits.
1123    o pkg/seaice:
1124      - unified freezing point treatment : the old SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT
1125        is now the default, and the old default constant freezing point is recovered
1126        with SEAICE_tempFrz0    = -1.96,
1127             SEAICE_dTempFrz_dS = 0.,
1128      - retire SEAICE_freeze (= the old way of specifycing the constant freezing point)
1129      - remove ALLOW_SEAICE_FLOODING brackets; run time switch is already there.
1130      - bug fix (thanks to M. Losch) : the sublimation term that was missing is now
1131        activated. To reproduce old results with this bug define SEAICE_DISABLE_SUBLIM.
1132      - bug fix (silly me) : flooding sign term (seaice_growth.F r 1.149line 1211)
1133        was wrong for SIsal0.NE.0. Changes cs32x15 results (see above item for detail).
1134      - bug fix (thanks to O. Jahn) : area loss for melting  got messed up in
1135        seaice_growth r149 for legacy branch (no results change).
1136      - introduce SEAICE_CAP_SUBLIM : caps sublimation heat flux in solve4temp (code
1137        from I. Fenty).
1138      - results did not change except for global_ocean.cs32x15, mostly due to the
1139        switch to variable freezing point (see above item for detail).
1140    o pkg/thsice:
1141      - fix and simplify interface to salt_plume pkg ; diagnose directly amount of
1142        seawater freezing in thsice_calc_thickn (not used).
1143    o pkg/seaice: turbulent flux term specification via run time params.
1144      - replace CPP switches with run time switches to facilitate testing
1145      - retired CPPs : MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX,
1146                       GRADIENT_MIXED_LAYER_TURBULENCE_FACTOR
1147      - added runtime parameter : SEAICEturbFluxFormula
1148      - move Mcphee constants to SEAICE_PARAMS.h
1149      - seaice_readparms.F : read turbulent flux term params (SEAICEturbFluxFormula;
1150                 SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, or SEAICE_gamma_t/_frz if apply);
1151                 remove seaice_summary call (moved to seaice_init_fixed)
1152      - seaice_init_fixed.F : set SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz depending on
1153        SEAICEturbFluxFormula, and seaice_summary call (moved from seaice_readparms)
1154      - seaice_summary.F : add missing report of read turbulent flux term set up
1155                           and SITRACER.
1156      - seaice_check.F : check range; inform and stop if retired CPPs are used
1157                         (incl. SEAICE_AGE).
1158      - seaice_growth.F : unified use of SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, without
1159             CPP switch, same computation as before for the different options.
1160      - change results at the truncation level.
1161    o pkg/seaice:
1162      - remove un-used parameters LAD & MAX_TICE ; add new run-time parameters:
1163        useMaykutSatVapPoly (default=F), postSolvTempIter (default=2) and
1164        SEAICE_wetAlbTemp (default=-1e-3). Remove option SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
1165      - update verification/*/input*/data.seaice:
1166        to reproduce previous results with former #defined SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
1167        code, set useMaykutSatVapPoly=T & postSolvTempIter=0 ;
1168        and to reproduce previous results with former non-SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY code,
1169        set SEAICE_wetAlbTemp=0 & SEAICE_snowThick=0.
1170    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY):
1171      - remove LEGACY code for solving for tsurf (A1,A2,A3) but maintain the same
1172        algorithm (same choice: useMaykutPolySatVap=T, postSolvTempIter=0);
1173        difference in results only due to machine truncation.
1174      - remove MAX_TICE (tsurf is always =< TMELT anyway); keep MIN_TICE if using
1175        MaykutPolySatVap; keep MIN_LWDOWN.
1176      - adapt SEAICE_MODIFY_GROWTH_ADJ code (untested) to non-legacy formulation.
1177      - update output of verification exp. lab_sea (4 fwd: 11 cg2d digits except hb87,
1178        + 3 AD: 6 digits except evp) and offline_exf_seaice.seaice (12 digits).
1179    o pkg/salt_plume:
1180      - isolate saltPlumeFlux array exch into a specific S/R called from
1181        do_oceanic_phys.F
1182      - add interface to pkg/salt_plume (filling of saltPlumeFlux) in pkg/thsice.
1183    o verification:
1184      - move untested set-up to MITgcm_contrib/verification_other.
1185    o pkg/seaice:
1186      - retire old way of SEAICE_AGE. Now replaced with ALLOW_SITRACER.
1187    o pkg/seaice:
1188      - seaice_solve4temp.F (keeping results unchanged):
1189        * add 2 future run-time params to select which saturation vapor pressure
1190          formula is used and how post-iteration fluxes are set.
1191          Temporary set these 2 params according to option SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY;
1192        * New piece of code (not used) to update surf. atmos. heat flux F_ia using
1193          the linearized expression to stay consistent with tsurf finding.
1194      - seaice_freedrift.F avoid floating exception in sqrt(y) since y=sqrt(x*x)-x
1195        can be < 0.
1196    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY undef):
1197      - remove from F_ia (and from it's derivative dFiDTs1) the contribution of
1198        conductive heat flux F_c , and add it explicitly when updating tsurf as
1199        solution of: Fc = Fia + d/dT(Fia - Fc) *delta.tsurf
1200        so that now F_ia has a consistent meaning through the entire routine.
1201        This causes differences at truncation level: update output of fwd exp.
1202        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice.
1203    o pkg/seaice:
1204      - lots of editing/cleaning in seaice_solve4temp.F + better documentation
1205        of arrays, sign/direction of fluxes; no effect on results.
1206      - replace hard coded 273.16 (=previous value of celsius2K) by celsius2K
1207        in seaice_budget_ocean.F & seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY part);
1208        note: this should have been done before changing celsius2K default.
1209      - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
1210        exp. input*/data : lab_sea (AD), offline_exf_seaice (fwd+AD) & seaice_obcs
1211      - replace hard coded seawater freezing temp in seaice_solve4temp.F (part
1212        SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY) of 271.20 (=previous value of celsius2K + default
1213        value of SEAICE_freeze) by celsius2K+SEAICE_freeze so that seawater
1214        freezing temp is consistent with value in seaice_growth.F ; this causes
1215        differences at machine truncation level: update lab_sea AD output (3/4).
1216    o pkg/seaice:
1217      - mask (in exf_init_fixed.F) atemp,aqh,evap,precip,runoff,lwflx,areamask
1218        and climsst/sss even when using seaice (to prevent calculation that might
1219        use SST on land); does not affect any verification exp.
1220      - apply mask to taux,tauy (in seaice_get_dynforcing.F); update output
1221        of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 and global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix.
1222    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: add mask to avoid non-zero ice thickness
1223      over land (non-legacy code)
1224    o vectorize salt_plume package:
1225      - add extra code to salt_plume_frac and salt_plume_tendency_apply_s
1226      - this code computes plumebk everywhere (also over land), thus requires
1227        code to avoid divisions by zero and catch the case of kLev=Nr.
1228      - efficiency of salt_plume_frac is still sub-optimal
1229    o tools (genmake2):
1230      - fix makefile NAME specification (option: -makefile NAME) by adding
1231        "-f $MAKEFILE" in few places where it was missing including makedepend
1232        command (contribution from Paul).
1233    
1234    checkpoint63i (2012/01/24)
1235    o model/src:
1236      - add factorized versions of some EOS code to find_rho.F,
1237        define USE_FACTORIZED_EOS to turn it on (default for TARGET_NEC_SX)
1238    o model/src:
1239      - add celsius2K to namelist PARM01; remove unused recip_rhoNil from PARAMS.h;
1240      - change default celsius2K from 273.16 to 273.15
1241      - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
1242        exp. input*/data : aim.5l_cs, 1D_ocean_ice_column, lab_sea (fwd),
1243         global_ocean.cs32x15(seaice) & cpl_aim+ocn(input_atm).
1244    o model/src: add a little initialisation trick to find_rho.F and find_alpha.F
1245      to make TAF generate vectorizable code
1246    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: add code (copied from CICE) that avoids underflows.
1247       Turn on by defining SEAICE_EVP_ELIMINATE_UNDERFLOWS. Most compilers
1248       have flags that do this more efficiently.
1249    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F
1250      - for TARGET_NEC_SX fix the treatment of the scaling factor tmpFac=scaleFact
1251    o pkg/obcs (with exch2):
1252      - derive OB indices in overlap region from OB-InsideMask (in obcs_init_fixed.F)
1253        and remove code (in obcs_readparms.F) which was based on EXCH of indices
1254        (through buffer) and did not account for exch2 (e.g., CS-grid) topology.
1255    o pkg/exf and seaice exp:
1256      - change offline_exf_seaice.seaicetd test exp. to use default DIFF1 value (=0)
1257        so that switching off area & heff advection flags does not affect results.
1258      - change default EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY to #define in EXF_OPTIONS.h
1259      - keep exp. seaice_obcs & 1D_ocean_ice_column(ad) unchanged (using #undef
1260        EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY) and, using pkg/exf default emissivities, update
1261        results of verification experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column(fwd),
1262        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice(fwd+ad) & seaice_dynmix(ad), lab_sea (all 8)
1263        and offline_exf_seaice (all 4).
1264    o pkg/seaice:
1265      - remove array YNEG, RIVER, TMIX (replaced by local var) from common block;
1266        remove also areaNm1 & hEffNm1 when SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY is undef.
1267      - fix bug: areaNm1 & hEffNm1 are needed in seaice_growth (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY)
1268        but were not filled when resp. SEAICEadvArea=F & SEAICEadvHeff=F and
1269        not multi-dim advection;
1270      - fix seaice_growth.F to compile with both SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and
1271        SHORTWAVE_HEATING #undef.
1272    o optim: make Makefile more robust (?)
1273    o pkg/obcs:
1274      * fix treatment of obcs_read_pickup for TAF
1275    o pkg/shelfice:
1276      * add missing initialisation of num_shifwflx
1277      * new adjoint verification exp. for isomip
1278      * change Prandtl and Schmidt numbers from generic formulations
1279        (in terms of model diffus. and visc.) to separate runtime
1280        parameters, with Holland and Jenkins (1999) default values.
1281    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
1282      - extended input field (2 rows) near the N & S poles:
1283        * fill in with the symetric value (when even Nb of data in longitude)
1284        * add average value at the poles only for scalar quantities ; for vector
1285          component interpolation, skip the averaging and keep duplicated values,
1286          unless the 2 components have same location (uvInterp=T) in which case
1287          interpolate the 2 components together using S/R EXF_INTERP_UV.
1288      - new S/R EXF_INTERP_UV to interpolate the 2 components of a vector field
1289        together: this allows to account properly for local orientation when
1290        averaging at N & S pole.
1291      - add CPP option EXF_USE_OLD_INTERP_POLE to recover old results regarding
1292        exf-interpolation near N & S poles. Undef by default.
1293      - add debug check/print on 1rst iter if debugLevel >=2.
1294    o pkg/exf:
1295      - change masking flags definition (no longer "parameter"), put them in
1296        common block and set them in S/R EXF_INIT_FIXED.
1297      - change recognized masking flag from s,u,v to c,w,s since the mask
1298        to use (maskC,W,S) depends on position on model grid and has little to
1299        do with scalar/vector difference; fix masking if using P-coordinates.
1300      - fix masking of wind-stress (was wrong if interpolated or read on A-grid)
1301        and update results of exp. global_with_exf (x2).
1302      - fix setting of zenith-angle table when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is undef.
1303    o pkg/obcs
1304      - S/R obcs_calc_stevens: fix a small bug (gammat -> gammas where appropriate)
1305    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
1306      - assume periodicity in X only if input field cover full longitude range.
1307      - improve search for lat. index (supposed to be faster, in ~log2(ny) steps,
1308        and should vectorise).
1309      - fix input lat of the 2 added row (in case we provide N.pole data).
1310    
1311    checkpoint63h (2011/12/30)
1312    o pkg/seaice:
1313      - change declaration of UVM from _RL to _RS in order to get B-grid
1314        uIce,vIce monitor when _RS = real*4
1315    o pkg/offline:
1316      - new S/R OFFLINE_RESET_PARMS for resetting main-model params (switch off flags);
1317      - compute vertical velocity if not read from file (switch on exactConserv
1318        & staggerTimeStep);
1319      - fix output of ptracer monitor iter & time for default PTRACERS_monitorFreq.
1320    o verification:
1321      - update grid-files (in tutorial_held_suarez_cs/input and fizhi-cs-32x32x40/input)
1322        with grid-angle generated using "utils/matlab/cs_grid/cubeCalcAngle.m":
1323        fix Pb in yG definition @ 2 missing corners (previously yG was averaged);
1324      - update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4 after changing
1325        grid-file angles (used here for coriolis-3d);
1326      - remove (or gzip) few files not needed to run fizhi-cs experiments.
1327    o pkg/exf (vector interpolation):
1328      - rotate vector component toward local grid-axis orientation using grid-angles
1329        (stored in GRID.h) instead of locally computed rotation angle; keep old code
1330        available with exf option EXF_USE_OLD_VEC_ROTATION (undef by default).
1331    o pkg/seaice:
1332      - allow to compile with exf options ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_DOWNWARD_RADIATION
1333        undefined. Fix and remove the stop when ALLOW_RUNOFF is undefined.
1334    o pkg/PKG_OPTIONS.h files:
1335      - move #include "CPP_OPTIONS.h" just after #include "PACKAGES_CONFIG.h",
1336        outside of the #ifdef ALLOW_THISPKG / #endif block.
1337      - update verification/*/code/PKG_OPTIONS.h files.
1338    o add a verification experiment (offline_exf_seaice/input.seaice) that test
1339      the B-grid LSOR solver
1340    o pkg/seaice: sort out emissivity and long wave radiation step 2:
1341      - add emissivity for snow and ice as new run-time parameters
1342        (unfortunately) that default to the corresponding exf values; this
1343        changes results in most verification experiments so that for backward
1344        compatibility these parameter have to be set explicitly to inconsistent
1345        values (ugly);
1346      - the exf-flag EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY then gets rid off the hard-wired
1347        emissivities of 0.97 associated with lwdownloc in S/R seaice_solve4temp
1348        until we agree how to handle this bug properly
1349    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
1350      - add a set of run-time param ({inputfield}_interpMethod), one for
1351        each interpolated input field, to select the interpolation method
1352        with a value of zero switching off the interpolation;
1353      - print interpolation parameters to standard output;
1354      - refine exf_check.F accordingly ; stop if USE_NO_INTERP_RUNOFF is defined
1355        (to use instead runoff_interpMethod=0 in data.exf).
1356      - simplify default setting of interpolation parameters (for all fields,
1357        set position to match model grid cell-center position, leading to trivial
1358        interpolation in case of regular Lat-Lon grid) and fix for the case of
1359        non-uniform delY.
1360    o pkg/exf/exf_radiation.F: add the factor ocean_emissivity to lwdown, for
1361       within #ifdef EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY/#endif. Unless ocean_emissivity=1.
1362       this factor is absolutely required, because the lw exitance (= out-going
1363       long wave radiation) is emissivity*stefanBoltzmann*T^4 + rho*lwdown,
1364       where the reflectivity rho = 1-emissivity for conservation reasons. Once
1365       this is established, we can remove the CPP-Flag (if we want to).
1366    o pkg/seaice:
1367      - qualify a stop statement in S/R seaice_check: EXF_READ_EVAP and
1368        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE are only required if SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES is defined
1369      - sort out emissivity and long wave radiation, step 1: make SEAICE_emissivity
1370        what the name implies (and not emissivity*BoltzmannConstant), this means
1371        the old default value of 5.5e-8 now means
1372        5.5e-8/5.670e-8 = 0.97001763668430343479 as ocean_emissivity in
1373        S/R exf_readparms
1374      - FV-discretization of the B-grid LSOR solver, turn on with
1375        SEAICE_LSRBNEW. This new solver also involves a slight re-organization
1376        of the calling routine dynsolver, so that B and C-grid code look a
1377        little more alike.
1378      - fix index bugs in ostres.F (B-grid code)
1379    o pkg/seaice/seaice_ocean_budget.F: change (unused) code to make it look better
1380    o pkg/seaice/seaice_readparms.F: make ocean_emissivity*stefanBoltzmann the
1381      default for SEAICE_emissivity, if useEXF; requires setting a wrong
1382      parameter value in global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice/data.seaice for
1383      backward compatiblity
1384    o model/src: use sigmaR in calc_ivdc
1385    
1386    checkpoint63g (2011/12/16)
1387    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1388      fix heat conservation of the coupled ocean-seaice system.
1389      when SEAICE_HEAT_CONSERV_FIX is defined, the mismatch of
1390      solid vs liquid water treatment is resolved via QNET.
1391    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1392      add missing term for sublimation in saltFlux, which was breaking conservation.
1393    o pkg/seaice/seaice_model.F:
1394      Remove this patholigical case treatment in evolution branch,
1395      where it is un-necessary and breaks conservation.
1396      Update global_ocean.cs32x15/results accordingly for
1397      output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt and output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt
1398    o model/src:
1399      useRealFreshWaterFlux: remove masking of EmPmP (using maskInC) in
1400      external_forcing_surf.F and apply mask directly in S/R SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE.
1401    o pkg/obcs:
1402      modify Stevens boundary conditions so that S/R obcs_calc_stevens computes
1403      tendency for temperature and salinity that is then applied to update
1404      theta and salt in S/R obcs_apply_ts; this requires proper masking of all
1405      horizontal advection and diffusion contributions on the boundary (in
1406      S/Rs gad_advection, gad_calc_rhs, gmredi_rtransport, gmredi_calc_diff), and
1407      removing the mask in S/R timestep_tracer. The advantage of this approach is
1408      that the updated tracer values include contributions from the surface
1409      forcing and vertical diffusion.
1410      This modification changes exp4.stevens because of vertical diffusion.
1411    o model/src:
1412      change non-curvilinear grid setting to also work with exch2 + blank tiles:
1413      - move delX,delY to new header file (SET_GRID.h) and adjust length to 1rst
1414        face dimensions.
1415      - new S/R INI_LOCAL_GRID to define model tile-local grid (using same units
1416        as delX,delY) and called from S/R INI_CARTESIAN_GRID, INI_CYLINDER_GRID
1417        and INI_SPHERICAL_POLAR_GRID.
1418      change test-experiment global_ocean.90x40x15:
1419      - split the domain in many more tiles (9x4 tiles of 10x10 each);
1420      - switch to exch2 and remove 1 blank-tile (but only for MPI test).
1421      - update results of both test (std & dwnslp).
1422    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstat_calc.F: fix problem with non-initialised halos in
1423       tmp-fields for TARGET_NEC_SX at the cost of extra loops and less vectorisation
1424    o model/src:
1425      - take sigma-coords related code out of update_etah.F into new S/R UPDATE_ETAWS
1426        and fix initialisation when using sigma-coords.
1427    o model/src:
1428     - improve Gael's changes from Jan 14, 2011 "addition of an 'update' of hfacc etc.
1429       to their current value at the beginning of forward_step.F": add a new run-time
1430       switch "doResetHFactors" (default=false) and use it to do (or not) the resetting.
1431     - set doResetHFactors=T in the following test exp:
1432        global_ocean.90x40x15/input (rStar) & input.dwnslp (linFS),
1433        global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice (rStar), hs94.cs-32x32x5/input.impIGW (linFS)
1434        and tutorial_global_oce_in_p (nonLinFS in p)
1435    o pkg/ecco
1436      - added IES cost term
1437    o verification/advect_xz
1438      - scale down the depth by 1/100 (from 200 km to just 2.km)
1439      - add secondary test using divergent flow, r-star and implicit vertical advection.
1440      - add note (check_conserve_TS.txt) and matlab script to check global
1441        conservation of T & S with NonLin-FreeSurf and Adams-Bashforth.
1442    o pkg/rbcs:
1443      - add missing relaxUFile & relaxVFile in namelist (in rbcs_readparms.F).
1444    o pkg/obcs (Stevens BCs):
1445      - fix various problems in the phase speed computations of the Stevens
1446        boundary conditions:
1447        - sign error for western and southern boundaries,
1448        - time tendencies were underestimated by factor of dTracerLev and some just
1449          zero (for multidim advection schemes) -> now estimate time tendencies
1450          from difference between previous (n) time level and the one before (n-1);
1451          this requires storing a field per tracer per boundary, also in the pickup
1452          files.
1453        - replace deltaTmom in cflMer/Zon computation with dTracerLev
1454        - set default phase velocity to cflMer/Zon
1455      - update verification experiment exp4.stevens
1456    o pkg/generic_advdiff (implicit_r):
1457      - fix implicit vertical advection conservation with AB and/or NonLin-FreeSurf
1458        (remove Tr*d/dz(w) in gad_implicit_r.F and add it in gad_calc_rhs.F);
1459      - fix implicit vertical diffusion or advection with NonLin FreeSurf
1460        (was using current recip_hFacC instead of future recip_hFacC): set future
1461        recip_hFac in thermodynamics.F and pass & use it in all vertical implicit
1462        solver S/R ;
1463      - fill diagnostics of vertical advective fluxes (computed from tendency)
1464        when using implicit vert. advection;
1465      - update output of exp that uses NonLin-FreeSurf & implicit vertical diffusion:
1466         global_ocean.90x40x15 (fwd+AD), global_ocean.cs32x15 (4 fwd +4 AD),
1467         tutorial_global_oce_in_p (fwd), tutorial_tracer_adjsens (AD)
1468         and cpl_aim+ocn (used in ocean); to be fixed: bottom_ctrl_5x5.
1469    o pkg/diagnostics:
1470      - add diags for T & S tendency which goes through Adams-Bashforth.
1471    
1472    checkpoint63f (2011/11/30)
1473    o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
1474      - join some loops to reduce number of if-statements
1475      - fix a bug in code for northern and southern boundaries.
1476    o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_varia.F
1477      - undo resetting UVM=0 that has slipped in unnoticed in r1.49 and
1478        caused zero ice-velocities for the B-grid code
1479    o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_fixed.F
1480      - fix a bug in the initialisation of the second metric terms
1481        k2AtC and k2AtZ: k2AtC was set to the value of k2AtZ and k2AtZ was 0.
1482      - this affects all seaice configurations with useCurviLinearGrid = .true.
1483        and SEAICEuseDynamics = .true. (default) and SEAICEuseMetricTerms
1484        = .true. (default)
1485      - the only verification experiment affected is global_ocean.cs32x15:
1486        icedyn, seaice, and seaice_dynmix (AD)
1487    o pkg/thsice/thsice_diagnostics_state.F
1488      - only for TARGET_NEC_SX: initialise all of tmpFld, so that overlap does
1489        not contain garbage that can lead to surprises in diagstats_calc.F
1490    o model/src:
1491      - move bi,bj loops inside INTEGR_CONTINUITY ;
1492      - call INTEGR_CONTINUITY directly from forward_step.F
1493        (previously called from momentum_correction_step.F)
1494      - call UPDATE_ETAH from integr_continuity.F and update initialise_varia.F,
1495        forward_step.F and pkg/ecco/the_main_loop.F
1496    o model/src/do_oceanic_phys.F:
1497      - reset addMass to zero only if useICEFRONT ;
1498      - separated k-loop for rhoInSitu calculation ;
1499      - add 2 diagnostics for wVel*delta^k(Rho) at constant pressure (= WdRHO_P)
1500        and at constant T,S (= WdRHOdP);
1501      NOTE: change diagnostics WRHOMASS : this is now simply the Vertical transport
1502        of In-Situ Density (Anomaly) (=wVel*rho^bar-k) (previously was Vertical
1503        transport of locally-referenced potential density);
1504        to recover old diag: (WRHOMASS)_old = (WRHOMASS)_new -1/2 * (WdRHOdP)
1505    o gluemnc:
1506      - replace ncrcat with ncks when adding variables to *.glob.nc
1507      - change the way variables without record dimensions are handled so that
1508        files that have variables with and without record variables can be glued:
1509        add a record dimension with a new unique name to be able to differentiate
1510        between variable with and without a-prior record dimensions. Remove
1511        this record dimension before adding the variable to the *.glob.nc file.
1512        This procedure automatically works also for grid.*.nc files that do not
1513        have any record dimension.
1514    o verification/cpl_aim+ocn:
1515      - generate new reference output on baudelaire (gfortran, mpich2) (previously
1516        from old aces-grid cluster, ao + ifort) and update 'run_cpl_test' script.
1517    o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
1518      - add code for northern and southern boundaries.
1519      - reorder some loops to save some operations and so that drFBar can be scalar
1520    o model/src:
1521      - re-arrange extrapolation calculation in Adams-Bashforth S/R (affects machine
1522        truncation) and add diagnostics for Adams-Bashforth tendency increment.
1523      - update test-exp. AD output:
1524        1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5, lab_sea.noseaicedyn, obcs_ctrl;
1525      and FWD output: exp4 (x3), fizhi-cs-32x32x40, fizhi-cs-aqualev20,
1526        front_relax (x3), global_ocean.90x40x15 (x2), global_ocean.cs32x15 (x5),
1527        global_ocean_ebm, ideal_2D_oce, internal_wave, isomip (x3), lab_sea (x4),
1528        matrix_example, MLAdjust (x5), natl_box (x2), tutorial_advection_in_gyre,
1529        tutorial_global_oce_in_p, tutorial_global_oce_latlon and
1530        tutorial_plume_on_slope.
1531    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F: add special code for TARGET_NEC_SX
1532      that vectorises. This code uses 3 extra 2D fields, F90 array assignments
1533      and F90 intrinsic routines SUM, MINVAL, MAXVAL, but since TARGET_NEC_SX
1534      does not even come with an F77 compiler anymore, this should not be
1535      a limitation
1536    
1537    checkpoint63e (2011/11/06)
1538    o pkg/seaice adjoint of LSR:
1539      - substantially rework STORE dirs.
1540      - add new flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER and parameter SOLV_MAX_FIXED
1541        this flag will do SOLV_MAX_ITERS but only store SOLV_MAX_FIXED fields
1542        and only perform SOLV_MAX_FIXED adjoint iters.
1543        If flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undef-ined, the store in the iteration
1544        always goes to same record, meaning that the last forward field will be
1545        the one used in the adjoint - an approximation.
1546      - now produces non-zero LSR-related gradients, and acceptable gradients for
1547        An's zonal (x-z) test case (to be checked in)
1548      - lab_sea: produces acceptable gradients for lab_sea with forward/backward LSR
1549        (but these are screwed up by the thermodynamics in the first place);
1550        reduce from 4 to 3 timesteps to avoid t.d. issue as temporary solution;
1551        output_adm.txt also reflects changes to seaice_lsr
1552      - global_ocean.cs32x15:
1553        * the "default" input_ad.seaice has been re-defined to always exclude dynamics
1554          (output_adm.seaice.txt was updated)
1555        * new input_ad.seaice_dynmix tests a forward LSR / backward free-drift
1556          (output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt)
1557    o test-exp. exp4+stevens:
1558      - switch off pTracers and nonHydrostatic (restart problems with NH); update output
1559    o pkg/seaice (lsr solver):
1560      - put coriolis term into FORCEX,Y (as in seaice_evp.F; previously in rhsU,V only);
1561        update output (change truncation) of FWD test exp lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15
1562      - fix SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT for new OBCS version (ndef OBCS_UVICE_OLD)
1563      - new parameter "LSR_mixIniGuess" allows (if=2,4) to mix free-drift solution
1564        into initial guess for linearised solver; use weight ~ (1/err)^2,4.
1565      - compute (with new S/R) and print initial (+ free-driff sol. if available)
1566        and final residual of linearised system.
1567    o pkg/pp81: add diagnostics for vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivity
1568      (requires new subroutines pp81_init_fixed.F/pp81_diagnostics_init.F)
1569    o pkg/obcs: Stevens BCs (still only for east and west)
1570      - fix Stevens BCs by using intermediate velocities of previous
1571        time step as "baroclinic" contribution rather velocity of one grid cell
1572        inside the boundaries; more consistent but makes the entire treatment
1573        more complicated, requires new pickup files and two new S/Rs:
1574        obcs_copy_uv_n and obcs_save_uv_n
1575        keep old version with flag OBCS_STEVENS_USE_INTERIOR_VELOCITY
1576        (undefined by default)
1577      - silently move computation of some grid factors into separate loops to
1578        save some recomputations
1579      - add a hack for non-linear free surface
1580      - add a verification experiment to exp4 that tests this code
1581    o make gluemnc/xplodemnc work with (moron) non-GNU shell tools
1582    
1583    checkpoint63d (2011/10/25)
1584    o pkg/obcs + seaice-dynamics:
1585      - new implementation calls OBCS_APPLY_UVICE (in seaice_dynsolver.F) before
1586        solving for uIce,vIce and prevent SEAICE_LSR or SEAICE_EVP to modify OB
1587        values (consistent with an implicit method).
1588      - add option OBCS_UVICE_OLD (in OBCS_OPTIONS.h, defined by default) to
1589        return to older implementation (same results as before); note that none of
1590        the "experimental" OBCS_SEAICE options are implemented in the new version.
1591      - switch test exp. seaice_obcs to use new version (update output).
1592    o pkg/seaice:
1593      - add few stop (B-grid & CS-exch, B-grid & obcs, AUTODIFF & SEAICE_maskRHS)
1594      - add parenthesis in Water-Ice drag calculations (evp & lsr);
1595      - in seaice_lsr.F, simplify and fix AA3 setting in case sNx or sNy=1;
1596        and fix case SEAICE_waterDrag=0 (but unstable if no or little seaice)
1597      - update output of test exp lab_sea that uses evp or lsr (fwd+ad)
1598        and global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn & seaice fwd+ad).
1599    o pkg/layers:
1600      - Include potential density as new coordinate (Thanks to David Munday)
1601    o pkg/dic:
1602      - Remove subroutine CALC_PCO2_APPROX_CO3 from carbon_chem.F and add
1603        carbonate computation/output to CALC_PCO2_APPROX
1604    o pkg/generic_advdiff
1605      - make TAF generate code that vectorizes:
1606        gad_dst3fl_adv_*.F, gad_u3c4_impl_r.F
1607    o model/src:
1608      - improve vectorization also for adjoint code of
1609        solve_tridiagonal and solve_pentadiagonal. As this requires up to
1610        5 new 3D-fields, this code is only turned on for the combination of
1611        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC and TARGET_NEC_SX. Also remove error message
1612        for singular matrix check (only for TARGET_NEC_SX).
1613      - remove hard-wiring of CPP-flag ALLOW_SOLVERS_KLOOPINSIDE to
1614        ALLOW_AUTODIFF. This flag now needs to be set outside of
1615        solve_tri/pentadiagonal.F
1616    o pkg/exf:
1617      - fix previous modif in exf_readparms.F (revision 1.66: treatment of
1618        optional namelist EXF_NML_OBCS).
1619      - add many debug-print (to trace down where pkg/cal error msg comes from)
1620    o pkg/mom_vecinv/mom_vi_hdissip.F
1621      - rearrange loops so that vectorization is improved and in particular
1622        the adjoint routine vectorizes. The code is a little longer now, but I
1623        think easier to read.
1624        Note: CPP-flag MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 is not tested.
1625    o pkg/seaice:
1626      - allow to specify initial seaice velocity from files (uIceFile,vIceFile)
1627    o pkg/exch2:
1628      - alternative code (without tile x tile matrix) for cumulated (global) sum;
1629        used as default; keep using matrix version in adjustment.cs-32x32x1.
1630    o tools/build_options:
1631      - after merging some MPI and/or multi-threads specific optfiles so that
1632        the modified default optfile support both built (using genmake2 -mpi
1633        for the MPI built, using genmake2 -omp for OpenMP built),
1634        move now obsolete optfiles to tools/build_options/unsupported/
1635       (add copy of email sent to support list in doc/optfiles_changes.txt)
1636    
1637    checkpoint63c (2011/09/28)
1638    o pkg/ebm:
1639      - fix ebm_zonalmean.F for several procs in Ydir (nPy > 1); update output of
1640        test exp. global_ocean_ebm (affects machine truncation, 12 digits for cg2d)
1641    o pkg/seaice (SItracer pickup)
1642    * Simple code for pickup of SItracer fields (#define ALLOW_SITRACER)
1643      To be done:
1644      - thorough testing of missing fields in S/R seaice_read_pickup
1645      - thorough matching between generic tracers and specific fields used
1646        (e.g. volume-weighted age, area-weighted age, salinity, ...)
1647    o pkg/grdchk:
1648      - all procs calculate and print finite-difference gradient (for testreport)
1649      - change description output used by testreport;
1650      - AD testing: also compare and report Finite-difference gradient;
1651        => update all output_adm*.txt
1652    o test exp. global_ocean_ebm:
1653      - switch back useRealFreshWaterFlux (no problem anymore with run-off);
1654        and turn on exactConserve; update (fwd) output.
1655    o pkg/seaice (LSR):
1656      - print to STDOUT number of solver iterations at SEAICE_monFreq interval.
1657      - modify solver to deal cleanly with u/v switch at face edges (CS-grid):
1658        * identical results with non-CS topology (but save up to half of EXCH calls)
1659        * no much changes in cs-32 verification tests since no ice at face edges
1660         (differences due to convergence criteria, since nb of iterations changed)
1661        * expect some differences on lat-lon-cap grid.
1662        update FWD results of global_ocean.cs32x15 test exp. (icedyn & seaice)
1663    o pkg/exch2:
1664      - add new CPP option to disable Cumul-Sum matrix (to save storage when using
1665        many tiles); until alternative coding is added, just add a stop.
1666    o pkg/kpp:
1667      - move ptracer/salt correction to KPP diffusivity from calc_3d_diffusivity.F
1668        to S/R KPP_CALC_DIFF_PTR (+ add tracer-index to argument list).
1669    o optfiles:
1670      - merged few MPI specific (*+mpi*) and multi-threads specific (*+mth) optfiles
1671        into corresponding standard one, which now support different build:
1672        (when using "genmake2 -mpi" for MPI built, "genmake2 -omp" for OpenMP built)
1673      - add "darwin_amd64_gfortran" optfile (initially from Constantinos, tested by Gael)
1674    o pkg/obcs (seaice):
1675      - add missing EXCH for uIce,vIce after applying OBCS;
1676      - remove S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_X/Y , disable S/R EXF_SET_OBCS_X/Y by adding
1677        argument = number of levels to S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_XZ/YZ and S/R
1678        EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ ; update obcs_exf_load.F;
1679      - fix EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ for multi-threaded (assuming loaded arrays are shared)
1680      - verification exp. seaice_obcs: split domain in 2 tiles ; add SIZE.h_mpi
1681        and eedata.mth for MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
1682    o pkg/flt:
1683      - make FLT EXCH working with multi-threads (and MPI + multi-threads);
1684      - use buffer for floats IO (trajectories & profiles); size set in FLT_SIZE.h;
1685      - fix pickup and trajectories + profiles output with multi-threads;
1686      - add parameter to select group of fields to write along trajectory and
1687        profile (default unchanged);
1688      - only call PORT_RAND* function when flt_noise <> 0;
1689      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. flt_example.
1690    o eesupp/src:
1691      - fix S/R ALL_PROC_DIE for MPI+multi-threads.
1692      - USE_OMP_THREADING: check that number of threads (from eedata) matches
1693        actual number (from env.var. setting).
1694    o pkg/ebm:
1695      - fix multi-threading in ebm_area_t.F ; clean-up EBM.h header file.
1696      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. global_ocean_ebm
1697    
1698    checkpoint63b (2011/08/29)
1699    o pkg/ebm:
1700      - fix sign of runoff;
1701      - update directly forcing fields (Qnet,EmPmR) to use standard
1702        external_forcing_surf.F (remove ebm_forcing_surf.F);
1703      - avoid loading forcing fields a 2nd time (1rst time from ini_forcing.F);
1704      - set either tauThetaClimRelax (in data) or tauThetaZonRelax (in data.ebm)
1705        and apply relaxation towards corresponding SST field (2-D map or ZonAver).
1706      - update global_ocean_ebm parameters file data and update output (fwd+ad).
1707    o verification/matrix_example:
1708      - split domain in 8 tiles (2x4); add SIZE.h_mpi and eedata.mth for
1709        MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
1710    o pkg/matrix:
1711      - change name of S/R MATRIX_INIT to S/R MATRIX_INIT_VARIA ;
1712      - fix for multi-tiles (add bi,bj indices to exp/impMatrixCounter);
1713      - fix for multi-threaded (remove DATA statement);
1714      - use standard DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE function;
1715      - add MATRIX_OPTIONS.h
1716    o verification/matrix_example:
1717       To allow to split the domain in several tiles, change the domain size
1718        from 31x31 to 32x32 by adding 1 row (on Southern side) + 1 column (on
1719        Western side) of land points.
1720    o (*_)write_pickup:
1721      - fix few bugs in mypackage_read/write_pickup.F
1722      - in MDS_WR_METAFILES calls, replace "myTime" by a local copy into
1723        array of length 1 (was caught by compiler syntax-check).
1724    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential solver):
1725      - fix initialisation of main diagonal matrix (for overlap values)
1726    o tools/build_options:
1727      - towards single optfile for MPI and non-MPI built: merge few +mpi optfile
1728        into previously non MPI one (linux_am64 pgf77,open64,pathf90,ifort11)
1729      - linux_amd64_gfortran: merge +mpi_generic version into standard optfile:
1730        * move IEEE flags to DEVEL section; take IEEE flags from +mpi_generic ;
1731        * FAST case: for now, keep -O3 with ini_masks_etc.F in NOOPTFILES list;
1732        and use "-devel" testreport option for standard testing on baudelaire.
1733    o pkg/grdchk:
1734      - Assume that all gradient-check position are within the same tile
1735        corresponding to global indices (iGloTile,jGloTile) and that
1736        positions (i,j indices or nbeg) are local to this tile;
1737      - set tile local-indices and proc. number according to tile global-indices;
1738      - remove grdchkwhichproc from namelist (retired param);
1739      - send adjoint gradient to all procs so that all procs print it to STDOUT;
1740      - switch on MPI test for global_ocean.90x40x15 AD test experiment.
1741    o adding package bbl (Bottom Boundary Layer)
1742      description in MITgcm/pkg/bbl/bbl_description.tex
1743      example/test experiment in MITgcm_contrib/bbl
1744    o adjoint verifications
1745      - changed 5 experiments to multi-tiles
1746        * global_ocean.90x40x15
1747        * obcs_ctrl
1748        * offline_exf_seaice
1749        * tutorial_dic_adjoffline
1750        * tutorial_tracer_adjsens
1751        changed reference output for those that crossed tile boundaries
1752        (changed choices of gradient check positions)
1753      - with same tiling, switch on MPI test for the last 4 (add SIZE.h_mpi)
1754      - temporary bug fix in grdchk_loc.F for obcs
1755    o genmake2 & testreport
1756      - add target "obj" (just for OBJFILES files) to Makefile;
1757      - add option to specify FEXTRAFLAGS on command line.
1758    o pkg/mypackage:
1759      - remove bi,bj arguments from argument list of S/R MYPACKAGE_CALC_RHS
1760    
1761    checkpoint63a (2011/08/02)
1762    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
1763      - fix velocity-potential calculation when using OBCS: balance net inflow
1764        at each level (new S/R OBCS_DIAG_BALANCE).
1765      - fix some of the problems with OBCS in stream-function calculation.
1766    o pkg/exf/exf_readparms.F
1767      - make treatment of optional namelists (EXF_NML_04, EXF_NML_SGRUNOFF,
1768        EXF_NML_OBCS) more consistent, so that you need not have these lists
1769        in data.exf when they are not used.
1770    o optim/optim_readdata.F:
1771      - add some output about obcs variables that might help debugging
1772      - add a check about nvarlength
1773    o pkg/ctrl: once again, fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
1774    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
1775      - fix mask for OBCS (still problems in stream-function with OBCS);
1776      - add specific parameter (default = main code CG2D params) for solver;
1777      - in case of poor convergence, use solution corresponding to lowest residual.
1778    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: small changes that permit vectorizable
1779      adjoint code. In general statements like tmpscal=fld(i,j) are problematic
1780      and should be avoided where possible.
1781    o model/src (rStar):
1782      - include r* effect on reference-state (PhiRef) in totPhiHyd
1783        (so that it's really the potential anomaly at the cell center);
1784        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS.
1785      - test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15: reduce viscA4 (was not stable) and
1786        update output (because of z* in totPhiHyd and viscA4 changes);
1787      - keep the previous diagnostics as "PHIHYDcR" (closer to potential anomaly
1788        @ constant r) until interpolation at constant r is implemented.
1789    o pkg/diagnostics
1790      - fix RCENTER diagnostics in case cell center is not at interface middle
1791    o add code for TEOS-10 (www.teos-10.org, McDougall et al. 2011). Use
1792      this eos with eosType = 'TEOS10', in data (PARM01). This eos implies
1793      that THETA and SALT are "conservative temperature" and "absolute
1794      salinity"
1795    o pkg/ctrl
1796      - fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
1797      - ctrl_pack/unpack_*: remove unused variables and some obsolete code
1798    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
1799      - fix recomputation with FENTY_AREA_EXPANSION_CONTRACTION code,
1800        remove then obsolete STORE directives
1801      - fix STORE directives for tice and tices, so that only the
1802        appropriate part of the fields are stored (and not the entire
1803        field); update global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice AD output.
1804      - cosmetic changes: adjust CPP flags and indentation for better
1805        legibilty
1806    o pkg/autodiff: add mnc-output of adBottomDragFld (code contributed by
1807      Chris Wilson)
1808    o pkg/gmredi:
1809       Add Sub-Meso Eddies parameterisation from Baylor (for now, disabled with TAF),
1810       and test it in verification exp. "front_relax.bvp" (update output.bvp.txt)
1811    
1812    checkpoint63  (2011/07/11)
1813    o pkg/exch2:
1814     - rename+move: nTiles in W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h --> exch2_nTiles in W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h
1815     - exch2 version of Cumul-Sum routine: S/R W2_SET_MAP_CUMSUM set up the
1816       (2*nTiles)x(nTiles) Cumul-Sum matrix and Master Proc collects all tiles X,Y
1817       increments, calculates Cumul-Sum @ tile origin and sends results to each tile.
1818    o pkg/diagnostics:
1819     - deal with pairs of post-processed diags which are computed together; in
1820       particular, re-order list of diags within 1 file to save 2nd computation.
1821     - add S/R to compute velocity stream-function (called after velocity-potential
1822       calculation) from divergence free transport -> new diagnostics "PsiVEL".
1823     - add parameter to select grid-point location where PsiVEL == 0.
1824    o eesupp/src:
1825       new S/R to calculate cumulated sum on tiled array, corner grid-cell location
1826       (specific S/R needed with exch2 topology - for now, just print an error msg)
1827    o pkg/shelfice
1828     - Implement friction velocity-dependent transfer coefficients following
1829       Holland and Jenkins, JPO, 1999
1830       Original code by M. Losch with small modifs.
1831       Enable with CPP option SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
1832       and runtime flag SHELFICEuseGammaFrict
1833    o verification lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15:
1834     - use tools/xmakedepend (instead of cyrus_makedepend, in genmake_local):
1835       does not miss some dependencies (but is slower) and also works with many files
1836       (default makedepend limitation for AD built).
1837     - use cyrus_makedepend in adjustment.128x64x1 (so that it still tested).
1838    o pkg/diagnostics:
1839     - add run-time parameter "useMissingValue" (def=False) to fill land-point
1840        (i.e., where mask=0) with MissingValue ; used only in MNC output file.
1841       This replaces CPP-option DIAGNOSTICS_MISSING_VALUE.
1842     - Extend the use of "missing_value" setting from data.diagnostics for the case
1843       of counter-diagnostics (where fraction-weight is zero). This applies both to
1844       MNC and MDS output files.
1845    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1846      - add 'a priori' cap of latent heat flux based on actual mass considerations
1847        when SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET is used in conjunction with the
1848        non-legacy seaice_solve4temp.
1849      - add diagnostic of the residual sublimation freshwater flux (the freshwater
1850        flux taken from the ocean if the total actual latent heat fluxes exceed
1851        the maximum)
1852      - remove the CPP switch around the *_FWbySublim unit change and move diagnostic
1853       fill for SIatmQnt, SIfwSubl, SIatmFW to the end of seaice_growth.F.
1854      - add diagnostic of the actual sublimation freshwater flux (that is 0. ifndef
1855       SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET) and of the latent heat flux (evap+sublim).
1856      - bug fix : frWtrAtm needs a_FWbySublim ifdef SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET.
1857      - bug fix : missing part to Martin's r_FWbySublim pathological case fix.
1858    o verification 1D_ocean_ice_column:
1859       made model domain truly 1x1x23 instead of 5x5x23 with only center cell (3,3,:) wet
1860       update results
1861    o pkg/diagnostics:
1862     - Implement setting of "Post-Processed" diagnostics (corresponding to gdiag(5)='P')
1863       which are not filled-up but computed from other diags ; In this case, the mate
1864       diag points to the primary (filled-up) diag to used for post processing.
1865     - Update Velocity-potential computation using post-processed diag framework.
1866     ==> Change the ordering of fields and time-periods in MDS output file
1867       when using periodic averaging: now writes one time record with the full set
1868       of fields for this time period, then the next time reccord (it used to be
1869       one field with the full set of time records then the next field).
1870         Note: this is now similar to NetCDF (MNC) output file. <==
1871    
1872    checkpoint62z (2011/06/21)
1873    o adjoint monitor:
1874     - Add adjoint monitor output for packages exf, seaice
1875       and update relevant testreport output
1876    o pkg/seaice:
1877     - re-order diags inits so that they appear in order in available_diagnostics.log
1878     - added diags: hsnow thermo. rates of change, area preceeding ridiging process,
1879       area/heff/hsnow preceeding thermodynamic growth/melt.
1880     - modified diag: SIdA; output actual effect, as the description states.
1881     - modified description: SIqneti, SIqneto, SIuheff, SIvheff, SIdAb*, HSNOW.
1882     - retired redundant diags: SIyneg, SIfice, SIsnwice, SIthdgrh.
1883       (SIyneg->SIdHbOCN; SIfice->SIdHbATC; SIsnwice->SIdHbFLO;
1884        and SIthdgrh->SIdHbOCN+SIdHbATC+SIdHbATO)
1885     - modified diags (2) : switch all SIdA*, SIdH*, SIdS* from delta to rates.
1886     - added diagnostics for seaice generic tracers (SItr*).
1887     - added SItrUnit and SItrNameLong run time param (for SItr* diags).
1888     - in diag names, replaced 'PrTh' abbrev. of 'preceeding thermo' with 'PT'.
1889     I. Fenty: 18-Jun-2011:
1890     Minor changes to seaice package:
1891     1) Retired old variables (A22, SEAICE_lhsublim, areaMax, areaMin, hiceMin) and
1892        added some new ones (SEAICE_area_reg, SEAICE_hice_reg, SEAICE_area_floor)
1893       - Differentiated "regularization variables" from "floor variables"
1894        * areaMin became SEAICE_area_reg (old A22) and SEAICE_area_floor
1895        * hiceMin became SEAICE_hice_reg (old hiceMin)
1896          (with _reg meaning regularization variable)
1897       - SEAICE_lhSublim becomes lhSublim, the sum of SEAICE_lhEvap and SEAICE_lhFusion
1898        so as to ensure energy conservation when going between phases
1899      - A22 was not used anywhere
1900     2) Changed regularization procedure for heffActual and hsnowActual to ensure
1901        well-boundedness and smooth adjoint in seaice_growth.F
1902     3) Fixed a bug where seaice_solve4temp would not recognize ice-free grid cells
1903        because the old regularization always set heffActual >= 0.05 cm
1904     4) Changed the model so that the default behavior is to put a small (10^-5) "floor"
1905        on AREA when HEFF > 0.
1906      - went from requiring ALLOW_PRECLUDE_INFINITESIMAL_AREA to be defined to
1907        requiring that DISABLE_AREA_FLOOR *not* be defined
1908     Affected verifications:
1909      - 1D_ocean_ice_column (output.txt output_adm.txt)
1910      - global_ocean.cs32x15 (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt)
1911    o pkg/diagnostics:
1912      - move MNC code from diagnostics_out.F into new diagnostics_mnc_out.F (2 S/R).
1913      - rename S/R GETDIAG to DIAGNOSTICS_GET_DIAG and change type of 1rst argument
1914        (was _RL, now integer) with option = 0 to retrieve all levels.
1915      - add pieces of code to compute velocity potential at each level (new diagnostics
1916        PhiVEL, works only when UVELMASS & VVELMASS are also turned on);
1917        for now, using same params as CG2D (target-resisual, max Nb of iter ...).
1918      - fix few issues with counter diagnostics in diagnostics_setdiag.F &
1919        diagstats_setdiag.F (if diagnostic counter is itself a counter diag)
1920        and in diagnostics_fract_fill.F (do not need a valid pointer for the
1921        diagnostics counter-mate); check that definition of counter-diagnostic
1922        includes a valid counter-mate (in diagnostics_set_levels.F).
1923    o model/src (rStar):
1924      - add rStar scaling factor in diags_phi_hyd.F (similar to calc_grad_phi_hyd.F);
1925        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS;
1926        update output of test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15.
1927    o pkg/seaice:
1928      - introduce siEps=1e-5 parameter
1929      - use areaMax in AREA update (part 4), consistent with ridging step (part 2.5).
1930      - re-organize SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET code.
1931      - introduce ALLOW_SITRACER and seaice_tracer_phys.F to handle generic seaice tracer.
1932        For now it covers, and was tested for, ice salinity and age (attached to HEFF),
1933        as well as ice cover age and ridging index (attached to AREA).
1934        For now the run time parameters (in data.seaice/SEAICE_PARM03) are
1935        SItrName (e.g. 'age') and SItrMate ('HEFF', which is the default, or 'AREA').
1936        Up to SItrMaxNum=3 tracers can be used simultaneously.
1937    o pkg/salt_plume:
1938      -introduce SPsalFRAC run time parameter that sets the fraction of the
1939       salt by-product of ice growth (SPsalFRAC*(1-SIsalFRAC)*salt typically)
1940       that gets vertically redistributed (fluxed down) by pkg/salt_plume.
1941    o model debug options:
1942      - Switch reading of debugMode from S/R INI_PARMS (parameter file "data", stored
1943        in PARAMS.h) to S/R EESET_PARMS (parameter file "eedata", stored in EEPARAMS.h).
1944      - Refine debug-msg printing selection (3 new levels):
1945        debugMode  : controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
1946        debugLevel : controls printing of algorithm-relevant auxiliary/debug messages
1947         debLevZero =  0 ; /* level of disabled aux. msg printing */
1948         debLevA =  1 ; /* level of minimum  aux. msg printing */
1949         debLevB =  2 ; /* level of low aux. print (report read-file opening)*/
1950         debLevC =  3 ; /* level of moderate debug prt (most pkgs debug msg) */
1951         debLevD =  4 ; /* level of enhanced debug prt (add DEBUG_STATS prt) */
1952         debLevE =  5 ; /* level of extensive debug printing */
1953        New debugLevel default: with default debugMode value (=F),
1954          = 2 (debLevB) or = 1 (debLevA) in case ALLOW_AUTODIFF is defined.;
1955          and if debugMode=T, default debugLevel = 4 (debLevD).
1956        Relation with previous settings:
1957         debLevB (=2) corresponds to former debLevA (=1)
1958         debLevD (=4) corresponds to former debLevB (=2)
1959        Note:
1960         a) if debugLevel=0, skip WRITE_GRID call when nIter0 > 0 (same as before);
1961         b) default debugLevel=1 is convenient in AD runs (avoid many file opening msgs);
1962            to recover previous default, set debugLevel=2 (e.g. AD-test hs94.1x64x5)
1963      - Add new parameter (printResidualFreq, read from PARM02 namelist) to print
1964        detailed CG solvers convergence; off (=0) by default, except if debugLevel=5.
1965    o pkg/obcs:
1966      - change OBCSfixTopo default from True to False (should not change the results);
1967        keep OBCSfixTopo=T in verification-exp. seaice_obcs.
1968    o pkg/thsice:
1969      - fix bug in thsice_calc_thickn.F (was introduced in version 1.18) in
1970        2nd layer seaice sublimation (unlikely to happen)
1971      - use Interior mask for OBCS in thsice_advection.F (similar to what is
1972        done in gad_advection & seaice_advection).
1973    o adjoint:
1974      bug fix spotted by Gael Forget:
1975      seaice_advection and thsice_advection still had
1976      legacy CPP options to avoid CS corner updates for adjoint
1977    o pkg/seaice:
1978      => Change some of the defaults (2011/05/29):
1979         - change SEAICEuseFluxForm default (from False to True)
1980         - change DIFF1 default (from 0.004 m/s to 0. m/s)
1981         And print warnings if DIFF1 is not set in data.seaice and centered
1982          avection scheme is used without any diffusion.
1983      also:
1984      - fix seaice_diffusion calls in default AdvScheme part of seaice_advdiff.F;
1985      - set SEAICEdiffKh[] default in the same way as SEAICEadvSch[]
1986      - stop if DIFF1<>0 with SEAICEadvScheme <> 2, if DIFF1<>0 with any
1987        other non-zero SEAICEdiffKh[] diffusivity, if SEAICEadvSalt=T with
1988        #undef SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY, if SEAICEadvAge=T with #undef SEAICE_AGE.
1989      update results of test exp.:
1990         lab_sea: output.fd (switch to AdvScheme=33 with diffKh=20)
1991             output.hb87, output_adm.evp (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T and diffKh=200)
1992             output_adm.noseaicedyn (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
1993         offline_exf_seaice: output.seaicetd, output_adm (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
1994         seaice_obcs: output (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
1995      and prescribe old default for SEAICEuseFluxForm (=F) and DIFF1 (=0.004)
1996          for standard fwd & AD lab_sea tests (to keep the same output).
1997    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1998      - use Ian Fenty's capping formulas for actual ice
1999      thickness thoughout EVOLUTION branch.
2000      - put treatment pathological case #2) in CPP brackets
2001      (ALLOW_AVOID_INFINITESIMAL_AREA, undef by default).
2002      - update global_ocean.cs32x15 and 1D_ocean_ice_colum results accordingly.
2003    o pkg/seaice:
2004      - seaice_diffusion.F : remove the min(DX,DY) factor permanently;
2005      pass the Laplacian diffusivity (in m^2/s) diffKh as a parameter;
2006      also pass fac as a param, which can be 1. (to update the tendency
2007      field) or the time step (to update the field itself).
2008      - seaice_advdiff.F: for multidim, call seaice_diffusion with
2009      e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=1; for single-dim, call
2010      seaice_diffusion with e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=time step.
2011      - SEAICE_PARAMS.h, seaice_readparms.F, seaice_check.F :
2012      hooks to handle SEAICEdiffKhHeff, SEAICEdiffKhArea, etc.
2013    o pkg/seaice:
2014      diffusion with centered advection scheme (diffus.F & advect.F):
2015      - simplify S/R DIFFUS (put deltaT & DIFF1 factor outside, move EXCH outside)
2016        to just compute the laplacian of input-field.
2017      - unroll k loop (harmonic,biharmonic diff) in advect.F to save 1 exch call.
2018      - fix flux-form version in diffus.F to conserve tracer.
2019      update output of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 (1rst set of modif affects
2020       machine truncation) and lab_sea.salt_plume (conservative flux-form modif)
2021    
2022    checkpoint62y (2011/05/26)
2023    o pkg/seaice:
2024     - seaice_growth.F : in EVOLUTION branch, always include
2025       a_QSWbyATM_cover in qnet (as it should be).
2026     - verification/global_ocean.cs32x15 : update results accordingly
2027       (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt).
2028    o pkg/seaice + obcs:
2029     - use maskInW & maskInS in multi-dim advection and biharmonic diffusion:
2030       equivalent of assuming no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
2031       update output of seaice_obcs (uses DIFF1 <>0 => biharmonic diffusion)
2032     - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH calls (no longer needed
2033       after changes above);
2034     - obcs+seaice cleaning: apply seaice-tracer OB values to tracer field
2035       only at OB location (instead of over a band of OLx width).
2036    o pkg/seaice:
2037     - fix wrong indices in old (non Flux-Form) diffusion default S/R diffus.F
2038       (dxG(I+1, ...) changed to dxG(I, ...), no impact on Lat-Lon grid)
2039    o pkg/obcs:
2040      - split header file "OBCS.h" into 4 separated files:
2041        OBCS_PARAMS.h, OBCS_GRID.h, OBCS_FIELDS.h & OBCS_SEAICE.h
2042       Note: OBCS_PARAMS.h & OBCS_GRID.h can be included without OBCS_OPTIONS.h
2043         (contain no conditional statement which depends on OBCS options).
2044      - move "useOBCSYearlyFields" from "data.obcs" (hold in OBCS_PARAMS.h)
2045        to parameter file "data.exf", namelist EXF_NML_OBCS (in EXF_PARAM.h).
2046    o ctrl, cost, grdchk & autodiff pkgs:
2047      - make options file more standard (like other {PKG}_OPTIONS.h file but
2048        with AD_CONFIG.h); clean-up some of the included header files.
2049    o pkg/obcs:
2050      - do not mask tracer when applying OB (tracer == 0 could generate problems)
2051      - apply tracer OB values to tracer field only at OB location (instead of
2052        over a band of OLx width)
2053      - clean-up obcs_apply_w.F & obcs_apply_eta.F (since less calls to these S/R)
2054      - remove OBCS_MULTIDIM_OLD_VERSION code in gad_advection.F and remove
2055        obcs_apply_tloc.F & obcs_apply_sloc.F
2056    o obcs in model/src:
2057      - call OBCS_APPLY_W only if NonHydrostatic.
2058      - call OBCS_APPLY_ETA only if NonLinFreeSurf.
2059      - reset dEtaHdt and wVel to zero outside OB interior region ;
2060      - leave tracer unchanged outside OB interior region: This has no effect
2061        on the solution but just to prevent unrealistic tracer value outside OB.
2062      - zero out velocity outside OB interior region: This has no effect on
2063        the solution but just to prevent unrealistic velocity outside OB.
2064    o obcs and non-lin free-surf:
2065       move call to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR from update_r_star.F to calc_r_star.F
2066       and call to OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR from update_surf_dr.F to calc_surf_dr.F
2067       + add argument "etaFld" to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR & OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR:
2068       this fixes missing EXCH + get consistent eta OB value (+ fix restart).
2069       update results of test-exp. exp4(nlfs).
2070    o exp4 (nlfs) test-exp:
2071       use OBC for Eta at Western & Eastern OB (to test prescribing Eta
2072       with NonLin-FreeSurf); update output.nlfs.txt
2073    o obcs and 2d/3d solver norm:
2074       use interior masks (maskInC) to cancel out cg2d & cg3d matrix coeff at OB
2075       and outside OB interior region (will allow to place OB further inside the
2076       domain). Depending on the domain, can affects cg2d-Norm (previous
2077       cancellation outside OB was only partial), e.g. in exp4 & obcs_ctrl,
2078       and cg3d-Norm (previous Norm was computed before canceling OB terms),
2079       e.g. in tutorial_plume_on_slope.
2080      - update output of exp.: exp4 (x2), obcs_ctrl and tutorial_plume_on_slope.
2081    o pkg rbcs:
2082      - split RBCS.h into 3 files: RBCS_SIZE.h, RBCS_PARAMS.h & RBCS_FIELDS.h
2083      - add capability to apply relaxation to horizontal velocity uVel & vVel.
2084    o pkg/grdchk: add gradient check for control variable xx_shifwflx
2085    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_init_fixed.F
2086      fix CPP-flag combinations
2087    o pkg/seaice: Merge iceage code of Pierre Rampal
2088      * update/change/correct ice age calculations
2089      * add age updates for pathological cases
2090      Probably needs more testing...
2091    
2092    checkpoint62x (2011/05/13)
2093    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
2094       high-order vorticity scheme: use interior masks (maskInW & S)
2095       to zero-out (outside OB) gradient of vorticity.
2096    o verification exp.:
2097       turn on "useEnergyConservingCoriolis" (better discretisation) in exp.
2098       hs94.128x64x5 and seaice_obcs ; update results.
2099    o pkg/obcs:
2100      fix bug in OBeta for YZ sections in obcs_exf_load.F
2101    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/shelfice, and optim:
2102      - add new control variable xx_shifwflx (fresh water flux underneath ice
2103        shelves). This is almost as tedious as obcs-ctrl, because the
2104        variables needs its own mask.
2105      - add a cost function term that penalizes the deviation of xx_shifwflx
2106        from the first guess (zero) in analogy to other control variables
2107    o pkg/shelfice:
2108      - start basic adjoint
2109    o pkg/ctrl:
2110      - remove extra 2D field "for good measure" when initializing in
2111        ctrl_set_globfld_[xy/xz/yz].F
2112      - replace hard coded precision 32 (a bug) in ctrl_map_ini_gen by ctrlprec
2113      - improve error messages in ctrl_set_unpack_*
2114    o OBC implementation in momentum:
2115       use interior masks (maskInC,W & S) in momentum S/R:
2116       - multiply divergence, tension and some del^i.u or del^j.v by maskInC
2117       - multiply del2u,del2v by maskInW/S (biharmonic viscosity)
2118       - multiply horiz. grad of vorticity by maskInW/S (in Leith scheme)
2119       - multiply gradient of wVel by maskInW/S in del2w calculation (NonHyd)
2120       Motivation: fix/clean implementation of OBC with biharmonic-viscosity
2121        (and also with Leith/Smagorinsky harmonic-viscosity).
2122       Update output of experiment dome and exp4 (+nlfs).
2123    o exp4 test-exp:
2124      - turn on: nonHydrostatic, exactConserv, viscA4 (with momDissip_In_AB=F)
2125        and prescribe time-varying OB (without pkg/exf) for zonal-velocity
2126        at Western & Eastern Boundaries (+/- 1 per-cent); Also prescribe
2127        time-varying OB at Western-side for wVel (NonHyd); update output.
2128      - add secondary set-up (.nlfs) using NonLin FreeSurf (z*) + mom_vecinv
2129        and biharmonic-viscosity ; also use prescribed time varying OB.
2130    o pkg/obcs:
2131      fix bug in OBWeta,OBWeta indices in obcs_apply_r_star.F
2132    o model/src:
2133      - fix startTime setting when baseTime<>0 & nIter0=0 are specified ;
2134      - initialise startTime & nIter0 with unlikely values: allows to set one
2135        from the other without ambiguity.
2136    o seaice_obcs test-exp.:
2137      add small diffK4T,S to test biharmonic diffusivity with OBCS ; update output.
2138    o pkg/obcs:
2139      - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH for T,S & pTracer:
2140        no longer needed with maskInC,W,S in pkg/generic_advdiff.
2141    o pkg/seaice:
2142      - retired SEAICE_SALINITY and SEAICE_salinity in favor of
2143        SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY and SIsalFRAC, respectively.
2144      - fixed bug in the initialization of sea ice salinity variable HSALT
2145        in seaice_init_varia.F  (removed dependence on ICE2WATR)
2146    o fizhi-cs test exp.:
2147       switch reference output convention for these 2 non-standard test-exp,
2148        from: pgi  6.1-5 on faulks (FC.6, -of linux_ia32_pgf77+authors_fc5)
2149          to: ifort 11.1 on baudelaire (FC.13, -of linux_amd64_ifort11)
2150       reason: faulks might get retired soon and pkg/fizhi has still Pb with gfortran
2151    o model/inc:
2152      - change type of PmEpR array (from _RS to _RL) to fix restart (with "-use_r4")
2153        of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15 (Suncronous time-stepping + Real-FW + NonLin-FS)
2154    o pkg/seaice:
2155      - fix calculation of saltFlux and saltPlumeFlux when using SEAICE_SALINITY
2156    o verification/lab_sea, 1D_ocean_ice_column, seaice_obcs, global_ocean.cs32x15
2157      - updated output*.txt files due to bug fixes in salt, saltPlumeFlux,
2158        and initial HSALT
2159    
2160    checkpoint62w (2011/04/26)
2161    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
2162      - fix calculation of del2u & del2v (no-slip BC) when using Non-Lin Free-Surf.
2163      - use parameter "sideDragFactor" in no-slip BC side-drag part.
2164      - update output of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
2165    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
2166      mask del2u & del2v (no effect on results, but cleaner & closer to mom_fluxform)
2167    o update seaice exp.:
2168      use more consistent parameter values (remove "backward compatability only":
2169       ICE2WATR, SEAICE_lhSublim, SEAICE_cpAir, SEAICE_rhoAir + set rhoConstFresh)
2170      related to thermodynamics seaice. Update output (fwd+AD) of exp.:
2171       1D_ocean_ice_column (x2), lab_sea (x8), ioffline_exf_seaice (x2) & seaice_obcs
2172    o update test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15:
2173      o use default CD_CODE_OPTIONS file (Adams-Bashforth on CD Mom & Coriolis).
2174      o increase Overlap size from 2 to 3 (to allow to test bi-harmonic Visc.)
2175      o new pickup-files from a 100.yr run with pkg/down_slope (input.dwnslp params)
2176      o turn on zStar & viscA4 in standard set-up (dir input/)
2177        and update output files: output.txt & output.dwnslp.txt
2178    o new AD-test experiment: obcs_ctrl
2179      (From Matt MITgcm_Contrib/SOSE/BoxAdj) to test OBCS as control vector.
2180    o pkg/dic:
2181      fix two bugs in handling water vapour pressure in carbonate chemistry
2182      and air-sea fluxes. Found by Val Bennington and Galen McKinley
2183      (add DIC Option = WATERVAP_BUG to recover old results)
2184      update output of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (fwd+AD) & tutorial_dic_adjoffline
2185    o adding allowInteriorFreezing option to check for water below freezing point
2186      at depth and bring the negative heat anomaly to the surface level
2187    o pkgs _fields_load:
2188      - extend GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to deal with non-periodic case (from pkg/rbcs)
2189      - use new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL in pkgs:
2190        bulk_force, cheapaml, cfc, dic, obcs (+ ctrl/ctrl_get_gen_rec), offline and
2191        rbcs to get interpolation weights and time reccord number.
2192      - fix multi-threading in aim_fields_load.F
2193      - apply EXCH to temp arrays [0,1] after reading in dic_fields_load.F
2194    o external_fields_load:
2195      new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to calculate which time-record (and linear
2196       interpolation weights) to use in a periodic time-series ; do not divide by
2197       time-step to convert to integer:
2198       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is not multiple of time-step
2199          (Thanks to Christopher L. Wolfe)
2200       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is an odd multiple of time-step
2201         (was wrong by half of time-step); update results of tutorial_global_oce_in_p.
2202      store index of time-record which is currently loaded:
2203       - works without any assumption on sequence of calls to EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD ;
2204       - needed for the adjoint but not yet used because of extensive recomputations;
2205         (to be fixed soon)
2206    
2207    checkpoint62v (2011/04/02)
2208    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column added to test Ian Fenty's
2209      pkg/seaice_growth.F modifications for improving sea ice code differentiability
2210    o update output of exp4, internal_wave, seaice_obcs, tutorial_plume_on_slope
2211      (new velocity statistics after changing maskInW & maskInS definition)
2212    o pkg/generic_advdiff with OBCS:
2213      use maksInW & maskInS in advective flux and in biharmonic diffusion calculation:
2214      equivalent to assumption of no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
2215      This will affect the results if using obcs+biharmonic diffusion.
2216      update output_adm.txt of experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5 (not expected since no obc)
2217    o pkg/obcs:
2218      change definition of maskInW & maskInS: leave OB edges inside (maskIn=1)
2219      (e.g., maskInW(OB_Ie)=1 ) so that velocity normal-component at OB is still
2220      in Interior region. No impact on solution but affects Velocity monitor stats.
2221    o pkg/ptracers (adjoint)
2222      New option AUTODIFF_PTRACERS_SPLIT_FILES for writing separate
2223      tape file for each tracer
2224    o model/inc/src and pkg/autodiff: add parameters that allow to turn
2225      of parts of the adjoint code at run time. For now, there are only
2226      useKPPinAdMode, useGMrediInAdMode, and useSEAICEinAdMode. These
2227      parameters are set in data.pkg.
2228      This is the lazy coward's version of doing this, but still useful for
2229      debugging. In order to do it right, everything needs to be moved to
2230      pkg/autodiff.
2231    o pkg/autodiff: fix global_sum_tile_ad.F by resetting adsumPhi at
2232      the end; this fixes the adjoint balancing code for open boundaries.
2233    o pkg/ctrl:
2234      - change behavior of xx_${varname}period to be analogous to exf-conventions:
2235        xx_${varname}period =   0.,  means time-independent control part
2236        xx_${varname}period = -12., means one-year-periodic monthly control part
2237      - introduce helper routine ctrl_init_rec (part of ctrl_init.F) to
2238        clean up ctrl_init a little, remove unused variables
2239      - ctrl_init: fixed the handling of the start/endrec for obcs-variables
2240      - move "call cal_GetMonthsRec" from s/r ctrl_get_gen to s/r ctrl_get_gen_rec
2241    
2242    checkpoint62u (2011/03/15)
2243    o model/src:
2244      - for the adjoint, change NonLin-FreeSurf initialisation sequence: fill-in
2245        h0Fac from INITIALISE_FIXED and reset hFac to h0Fac in INITIALISE_VARIA ;
2246      - in initialise_varia.F (except for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL) remove 2nd call to
2247        INI_DEPTHS, INI_MASKS_ETC & INI_LINEAR_PHISURF.
2248    o pkg/ctrl/obcs/ecco:
2249      - remove obsolete, unused, and partially broken code:
2250        ctrl_obcsvol/ctrl_obcsbal/ctrl_volflux and code within
2251        ALLOW_CTRL_OBCS_BALANCE
2252      - put a stop statement into ecco/cost_obcsvol.F, but also add
2253        cost_obcsvol to ecco_ad_diff.list
2254    o pkg/ecco: fix counting cost function contributions for obcs (code
2255      by Matt M.) and diffkr for diagnostics
2256    o pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk:
2257      add cost penalty terms for initial uvel, vvel, eta controls
2258      and I/O for prior error files
2259    o pkg/mdsio:
2260       move mds_check4file.F from eesupp/src to mdsio_check4file.F ; add option
2261       (new argument) to check for tiled file in mdsioLocalDir : this fix the
2262       restart from pickup_som , pickup_dic (& dic_co2atm) with mdsioLocalDir.
2263    o pkg/ctrl:
2264     - ctrl_obcsbal.F, ctrl_obcsvol.F: replace last calls of ctrl_getrec by
2265       ctrl_get_gen_rec, put a stop statement into ctrl_getrec. Remove
2266       unused and superfluous variables
2267     - ctrl_get_gen_rec.F: catch the case of xx_genperiod=0.
2268    o pkg/ecco
2269     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
2270    o pkg/ctrl/ecco/grdchk:
2271      - remove global declaration of tmpfldx/yz and tmpfldx/yz2.
2272        Fortunately, we do not have any tests for the numerous cpp-flagged
2273        option of "obcs as control parameters" so we will never know
2274        if this is an improvement (but at least now things compile).
2275      - remove an obsolete initialization from ecco_cost_init_barfiles.F
2276      - fix some problems within never used ifdefs to make the code compile
2277    o pkg/obcs:
2278     - Refine Interior mask definition to work with more complex OB (e.g.
2279       if OB_Ie < OB_Iw); In case default setting is not sufficient, allows to
2280       read in Interior mask from file. Check if Interior mask is consistent
2281       with OB list of indices.
2282    o pkg/seaice
2283     - beginning code for a seaice tracer package,
2284       but currently only used for seaice age: SEAICE_AGE
2285       SEAICE_num = 4
2286       iTracer = 1: area-weighted ice age
2287               = 2: volume-weighted ice age
2288               = 3, 4: template for one-year vs. multi-year ice
2289       data.seaice has new namelist SEAICE_PARM03 for arrays related to
2290       SEAICE_num
2291    
2292    checkpoint62t (2011/03/05)
2293    o pkg/obcs:
2294     - obcs_apply_uv.F: change to a 2 steps method, first tangential component;
2295       then normal component. This ensures that the normal component is set
2296       correctly even when it conficts with tangential setting from an other OB.
2297       Affects results of test-experiment seaice_obcs: update the output.txt
2298    o pkg/obcs:
2299     - add code to monitor statistics of dynamical fields at OB.
2300     - take OBCS_BALANCE code out of obcs_calc.F into new S/R OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW :
2301       - fix to OBCS_BALANCE code (right hFac ; deal with simple OB intersection).
2302       - change default: balance the Net inflow through all OB (instead of balancing
2303         each OB separately); keep the old method if setting OBC_balanceFacX < 0.
2304     - switch on useOBCSbalance in dome experiment: only correct Western OB outflow
2305       to match Nortern OB inflow (OBCS_balanceFacN=0).
2306    o pkg/seaice:
2307     - redefined actual sea ice age to be ICEAGE/HEFF ifdef SEAICE_AGE_VOL
2308    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.113):
2309     - reverting seaice_growth to v 1.111 in order to have code with exact bit
2310       compatibility with MITgcm_contrib/ifenty/Fenty_seaice_thermo_code_merge
2311       CPP option SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA removed in v 1.112 is reintroduced
2312       runtime flag SEAICEareaFormula is kept but is inactive
2313    o model/src:
2314     - add new param to scale curvilinear grid distance and area when using
2315       a different sphere radius from the grid-files.
2316     - test/check multi-threads EXCH applied to local variable (cg2d_x)
2317    o adjoint:
2318     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
2319     - add dummy_in_dynamics to enable extraction of ADJrhoinsitu
2320       (a bit delicate because of potentially modified adj. common block structure;
2321       current switch is ALLOW_AUTODIFF_MONITOR_DIAG, could be changed later)
2322    
2323    checkpoint62s (2011/02/15)
2324    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.112):
2325     - introduce SEAICEareaFormula run time parameter, which selects the recipe for
2326       computing the ice cover tendency from effective thickness tendencies. Include
2327       Ian Fenty's formula.
2328     - remove 'undef SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA' which may now be achieved using
2329       SEAICEareaFormula.
2330     - simplify notations for the various d_HEFF/d_AREA terms.
2331    o pkg/gmredi:
2332     - add Boundary-Value-Problem bolus transport (Ferrari etal, OM 2010) code
2333       from Christopher Wolfe (UCSD); add partial cell factor in vertical derivative;
2334       add a verification test-run (front_relax.bvp) to test GM_useBVP.
2335    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.111):
2336     - for SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH, replace Gael's implementation with Ian's.
2337     - the new SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_MELT allows open-water air-sea heat fluxes to
2338       also melt ice.
2339    o pkg/seaice:
2340     - McPhee formula for Ice-Ocean fluxes (provided by Ian Fenty).
2341     - can be used by #define MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
2342    o pkg/cheapaml:
2343     - from Nico Wienders: New version of this package.
2344    o pkg/flt:
2345     - add CPP options to prevent floats to re-enter the opposite side of
2346       a periodic domain (default: keep periodicity)
2347    o pkg/gmredi:
2348     - apply exchange to GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY to get valid values near CS-corners
2349       (needed for multi-dim advection).
2350     - switch on GM Advective form in global_ocean.cs32x15 and update output.txt
2351    o model/src:
2352     - fix wrong re-setting of addMass array (ALLOW_ADDFLUID) for atmospheric run.
2353    o tutorial_tracer_adjsens
2354     - extend to NLFS and replace maskC by hFacC
2355       (change reference output accordingly)
2356    
2357    checkpoint62r (2011/01/24)
2358    o testreport:
2359     - add option -deloutp (-do) to remove output file after successful run
2360     - add option -mfile (-mf) for MPI machile-file and for each test-exp,
2361       extract exact list of procs from this file ; adjust COMMAND by
2362       replacing TR_MFILE & TR_NPROC with local machile-file & Nb of MPI procs.
2363    o pkg/ecco: replace old ineffective way of penalizing deviations from
2364      first guess (of obcs) with code by Matt Mazloff
2365    o pkg/ctrl: add code that allows the use of ALLOW_OBCS?_CONTROL without
2366      exf/cal
2367      - ctrl_init: fix initialisation (computation of diffrec) for obcs-ctrl
2368        and handle case of obcs?period == 0
2369        Not affected by these changes: There is still an inconsistency in
2370        the computation of start/endrec for the obcs variables for ALLOW_CAL
2371        defined (see comment by Menemenlis, 7-Mar-2003)
2372      - make S/R ctrl_get_gen_rec return something meaningful even if
2373        ALLOW_CAL is not defined
2374      - ctrl_getobcs?: simplify code so that it does not need to use
2375                       S/R exf_swapfields
2376    o testreport:
2377       allow to test MPI with different number of processors for each experiment:
2378       create file "SIZE.h.mpi" in each build dir.
2379       Note: update of "-command" argument not yet implemented.
2380    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ecco, pkg/seaice:
2381      alleviate the need for additional 3D tapes when using
2382      the non-inear free surface in the adjoint. This is done
2383      by adding an 'update' of hfacc etc. to their current
2384      value at the beginning of forward_step.F.
2385    o pkg/seaice
2386      seaice_lsr: move stress-divergence computations out of outer pseudo-
2387      timestepping loop
2388    o pkg/obcs/obcs_prescribe_read.F: move 'CALL OBCS_EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD'
2389      up, so that the calls of the ctrl_* subroutines are really at the end
2390      of the routine.
2391    o pkg/gmredi:
2392      allow to specify a 2-D horizontal map and a 1-D vertical profil
2393      as scaling factor for Isopycnal diffusivity (Redi) and GM diffusivity.
2394    o pkg/seaice:
2395      move lsr iterations from seaice_dynsolver to seaice_lsr.
2396    o pkg/seaice:
2397      reduce memory footprint of seaice mutldim advection tapes,
2398      by using a 2D tape independent of the generic_advdiff ones,
2399      and setting GAD_AREA=1 etc. rather than GAD_AREA=101 etc.
2400    
2401    checkpoint62q (2010/12/29)
2402    o model/src:
2403      - check horizontal grid-spacing for unset or zero/negative values.
2404      - change AD test hs94.1x64x5 to be truly a 2-D set-up.
2405    o pkg/flt:
2406      - use (recent) mdsio S/R MDS_READVEC_LOC instead of local FLT_MDSREADVECTOR
2407      - precision of input and output files set according to readBinaryPrec
2408        and writeBinaryPrec (previously always 64.b), pickup remains at 64 bits.
2409      - initial float position from tiled file was not converted to index space
2410        (looks like a bug): fixed to make it similar to initial pos. global file.
2411    o global_ocean.cs32x15:
2412       change SIZE.h of AD set-up to get same tiling as with MPI.
2413       Update output_adm, output_adm.thsice (pass@14) & output_adm.seaice (fail@11)
2414    o model/src:
2415       add flag to control printing of domain fields (bathymetry, hFac ...) in
2416       ini_mask_etc (call to plot_fieds_xy*).
2417    o pkg/thsice:
2418       if useEXF, some forcing fields are not valid in overlap: fixed by computing
2419       over the interior only + apply EXCH at the end (like with SEAICE advection).
2420    o pkg/mdsio:
2421      - add 2 arguments to S/R MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL/S for overlap size of buffer
2422        to copy to/from, so that it can be used to replace MDS_PASS_WH_R8toRL/RS.
2423      - change barrier call for safe multi-threads access to 3-D shared buffer.
2424      - MDS_READ/WRITEVEC_LOC use buffers from MDSIO_BUFF_3D.h (instead of local ones)
2425      - replace call to MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL with call to MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL and
2426        remove the 4 S/R MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL/S.
2427    o pkg/flt:
2428      - add fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration
2429      - add basic exch2 support (only 1 facet supported so far!)
2430    o pkg/mdsio+rw:
2431      new S/R to read local (or tile independent) vector (read counterpart of
2432       mds_writevec_loc, and front-end write_glvec_rl/rs).
2433    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input_ad.seaice experiment
2434        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
2435        (using multidim advection for seaice)
2436    o towards more F95 syntax for array specification in namelist:
2437      - change "data.diagnostics" (data.ptracers was changed before checkpoint62p)
2438        of all verification experiments.
2439           e.g.:    line: fields(1,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
2440          was changed to: fields(1:2,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
2441      - finish adding "-DNML_EXTENDED_F77" to DEFINES list in pgf77 and g77 optfiles
2442    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input.seaice experiment
2443        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
2444    
2445    checkpoint62p (2010/12/17)
2446    o pkg/thsice: rename (ad tape index) iicekey as ticekey, and move it
2447        to THSICE_SIZE.h to avoid conflict with pkg/seaice.
2448    o pkg/seaice: add seaice_diffusion.f seaice_map_thsice.f to adjoint.
2449        allow for use of multim. advection in seaice adjoint.
2450    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for snow precipitation and sublimation flux
2451      - first attempt to close budgets by taking into account the freshwater
2452        flux implied by the sublimation of snow and ice. So far only the
2453        volume budget is closed, turn on with soon-to-be-retired-again CPP-Flag
2454        SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET
2455    o eesupp/src:
2456      new S/R with new option (NML_EXTENDED_F77) to change array specification
2457      from F95 standard to commonly accepted extended F77 form.
2458      This would allow to use F95 syntax in namelist (needed with gfortran 4.4.5)
2459      and to revert back to the original syntax (with -DNML_EXTENDED_F77)
2460      for less tolerant f77 compiler (e.g., pgf77, g77).
2461    o globalFiles:
2462      commented out in parameter file "data" since it's not safe with MPI
2463      (e.g., wrong on aces); keep it if useSingleCpuIO=T (but not doing much
2464      in this case); no longer commented out in restart test (tst_2+2).
2465    o add adTapeDir to specify a special directory where adjoint tapes are
2466      written/read (adread_adwrite.F). adTapeDir is specified in data/PARM05
2467      and cannot be used together with mdsioLocalDir.
2468    o nesting pkgs:
2469      - packages_init_variables : put call to OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES in last position
2470      - update Gianmaria's Nesting pkgs (from Contrib/nesting_sannino)
2471      - add parameter files + utils dir + output from short run on beagle.
2472    o pkg/seaice:
2473        fix seaice_growth.F store directives; update results of exp. lab_sea.ad
2474    o pkg/seaice: explicitly store tsurfloc in seaice_solve4temp.F to avoid
2475      unnecessary copying in adjoint code, requires new parameter NMAX_ITER
2476    
2477    checkpoint62o (2010/11/25)
2478    o pkg/exf:
2479      - change CPP option EXF_VERBOSE to run-time logical param exf_verbose.
2480    o pkg/seaice:
2481      - seaice_ocean_stress: split a loop for better vectorization of the
2482        adjoint code
2483      - seaice_growth.F: fix bug in conservation of freshwater connected to
2484        capping of heff, put contribution into d_HEFFbyNEG
2485      - replace irritating parameters SEAICE_latentWater/Ice and SEAICE_sensHeat
2486        by something more sensible (parameters that are what their name implies)
2487      - change some defaults, so that by default exf-parameters are used for
2488        things like rhoAir, cpAir,latent/sensible heat parameters, in order
2489        to reproduce the old results, many data.seaice now contain funny values
2490        for cpAir and latent heat of sublimation
2491    o packages_readparms.F: move exf_readparms up in line so that
2492        exf-parameters are visible for other packages (e.g. seaice)
2493    o debugMode & debugLevel=2:
2494      - differentiate between debugMode & debugLevel=2:
2495        debugMode: controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
2496        debugLevel: controls printing of algorithm intermediate results and stats.
2497      - remove "if debugLevel=2 => debugMode" but keep "debugMode =>  debugLevel=2";
2498        => allows to print debug-stats without all sequence of call messages.
2499      - switch control of debug print from debugLevel to debugMode in many S/R.
2500    o pkg/obcs (obcs-sponge):
2501        fix bug that was introduced on Oct 25 (in dynamics.F v1.151): put back the
2502        call to OBCS_PRESCRIBE_EXCHANGES (need to exch gU,gV when using obcs-sponge)
2503    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
2504      - record overlap minimum size for each advection scheme;
2505      - refine criteria on overlap minimum size;
2506      - check and stop (in gad_check) if overlap size is too small.
2507    o pkg/obcs:
2508      - with ptracers: remove multiple calls to obcs_apply_ptracer (only done
2509        once, in ptracers_implicit.F)
2510      - with seaice: remove test on empty file name in obcs_apply_seaice (always
2511        apply OB values when tile has OB)
2512    o model/src, coriolis setting:
2513      - integer parameter "selectCoriMap" (=0,1,2) replaces 3 logical
2514        useConstantF, useBetaPlaneF, useSphereF ; can now read coriolis from
2515        files (selectCoriMap=3) with any grid.
2516      - add parameter "fPrime" for constant second Coriolis coeff (default=0).
2517    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
2518        a few cosmetic changes that reduce the number of lines of code
2519    o pkg/obcs: add boundary conditions following Stevens (1990)
2520      - the code follows old MOM/NAOSIM code
2521      - so far it is only implemented for the eastern and western boundaries
2522        and NOT for pTracers
2523    o pkg/rbcs:
2524      - replace rbcsInIter by rbcsForcingOffset, the time in seconds at the
2525        beginning of the first rbcs forcing period.
2526      - add option rbcsSingleTimeFiles that makes rbcs read forcing data like the
2527        offline package, i.e., one file per time, labeled by iteration number;
2528        deltaTrbcs sets the timestep with which the data was generated;
2529        rbcsIter0 is the forcing iteration corresponding to rbcsForcingOffset.
2530      - rbcsForcingCycle=0 makes forcing non-cyclic.
2531      - make arithmetic safe for negative times and odd forcing periods.
2532    
2533    checkpoint62n (2010/11/09)
2534    o pkg/seaice:
2535        fix masking in free-drift S/R ; update results of exp. lab_sea.fd
2536    o pkg/obcs:
2537       New S/R to copy tracer value from the OB location to narrow band region
2538        (width = same as overlap) beyond the OB: preserve OB value (needed for
2539        high-order scheme) which were overwritten by EXCH call if in overlap
2540        region. Applied to theta, salt, ptracer and advected seaice variables.
2541       With seaice: use maskInC in similar way as in gad_advection.F,
2542        in seaice_advection.F and advect.F.
2543       Update output of experiment seaice_obcs and change exp4 to test OBCS with
2544        4th order Adv.Scheme. for pasive salt and ptracer.
2545    o tools/genmake2:
2546      - when looking for an optfile (not specified), only search for Fortran compiler
2547        (remove sym-link test + setting of CPP + makedepend check + C-compiler check)
2548      - in get_fortran_c_namemangling: use "$CC $CFLAG" to compile C test programm
2549        (instead of "$MAKE genmake_test.o" since an existing Makefile can be wrong)
2550      - set default for CPP to "cpp -traditional -P" (was the case without specifying
2551        an optfile, but otherwise default was just "cpp".
2552      - comment out PLATFORM=$p_PLATFORM (no idea where p_PLATFORM comes from)
2553      - when "CC" is not set in the optfile, look for possible C compiler
2554        (instead of just setting CC=cc)
2555      - put back version v.169 modif (from 2008/02/15), was dropped in v.173 changes:
2556        => add a ".F" to ".o" rule for source files with no "#include" (such as
2557           port_rand.F); otherwise, default ignores FOPTIM and just uses FFLAGS.
2558      - move gfortran before g77 in list of possible Fortran compiler (consistent
2559        with reference compiler switch from g77 to gfortran)
2560    o pkg/seaice:
2561      o remove SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION-code, add a test to
2562        seaice_check that stops the model, when the CPP flag is used.
2563      o seaice_growth.F: make capping of ice volume conserving by returning the
2564        capped ice as freshwater to EmPmR. This does not change the verification
2565        experiments but will change runs where the capping is acutally active
2566    o change reference platform+compiler from faulks+g77 to baudelaire+gfortran
2567      (except the 2 fizhi test exp.); update output of exp.: bottom_ctrl_5x5,
2568         global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn, thsice, AD thsice), global_ocean_ebm (AD),
2569         lab_sea (fd, hb87, salt_plume), MLAdjust (3/5) and vermix (dd)
2570    o tools/genmake2:
2571      - merge genmake_warnings & genmake_errors into 1 log file: "genmake.log")
2572      - change DUMPSTATE default to false (can use "-ds" option to switch it to T)
2573      - clean previous genmake log files before anything else.
2574      - change Makefile to remove testreport log files (*.tr_log) and genmake log
2575        files only with "CLEAN" target (instead of "Clean");
2576    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
2577      Change OBCS in multiDim advection (gad_advection.F):
2578       Use maskInC to prevent intermediate update of tracer-field in OB regions,
2579       thus keeping current-time-step OB values; and remove the call to OBCS_APPLY
2580       which were applying future time-step OB values.
2581      This way, all explicit calculations use current-time-step OB values
2582       (simpler and more consistent).
2583      Affects results when set-up uses time-varying OBC and multi-dim advection;
2584       update output of experiment seaice_obcs.
2585    o pkg/seaice:
2586      move OPTIONS (formerly locally defined) to SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
2587       this includes SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY (+ SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH &
2588         SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA ) and SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
2589      Default (pkg/seaice/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h) is to define SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
2590       but leave SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY undef ; For now, keep verification exp
2591       unchanged (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY defined in */code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
2592    o pkg aim (2010/10/26):
2593      - Introduce ALLOW_INSOLATION, moving toward a more general incoming solar radiation
2594        formulation with obliquity, eccentricity, ... as run-time parameters,
2595      - Introduce diagnostics for top-of-the-atmaophere incoming solar radiation and
2596        upward shortwave radition at the surface (all-sky and clear-sky).
2597    o pkg/obcs:
2598      - writing sections with globalFiles=T does not work: switch to tiled-files
2599        when writing sections for OBCS (change pkg/rw/write_rec.F accordingly).
2600      - fix index bug (OB_Ie -> OB_Iw_) in obcs_apply_uvice.F
2601      - apply OBCS_SEAICE_COMPUTE_UVICE to both uice and vice at all obcs
2602    
2603    checkpoint62m (2010/10/21)
2604    o pkg/seaice: vectorize seaice_solve4temp.F
2605      - move iterations loops outside of i/j-loops
2606      - requires 2D arrays for TB and effConduct
2607      - add 2D iceOrNot to replace HICE_ACTUAL.GT.0, as HICE_ACTUAL is
2608        modified in this routine
2609      - a little bit of clean up, adjusting indentation, etc.
2610      - replaced a few TEN**a by exp(a*log(10.)) in new code for better
2611        performance and '**TWO' by '**2' (because TWO is a float),
2612        replaced ONE, ZERO
2613    o eesupp/src:
2614       fix flow dir for exch1_z_RX_cube, exch1_uv_RX_cube & exch1_bg_RX_cube
2615    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
2616      Revision 1.89 of seaice_growth.F completes the overall october 2010 revision and
2617      merging process. The merged routine has two branches, and one activates the 'evolution'
2618      branch by setting SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY to undef (at the top of the routine for now).
2619      In summary, here is what the '10/10 revision' did consist of
2620        part 1: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.71 to 1.75
2621          - Preliminary seaice_growth.F clean-up, keeping test results strictly unchanged.
2622            The emphasis here was on improving readability (e.g. by trying to use meaningful
2623            variable names) and modularity (e.g. by adding arrays to store heff etc. updates).
2624        part 1.5:
2625          - revising the lab_sea experiment to make it a more useful (i.e. stable
2626            and representative of an actual model run). This was done by generating a
2627            (winter) pickup to start from, switching back the main experiment dynamic
2628            solver from evp to lsr, having one of the experiments use the free drift solution.
2629        part 2: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.76 to 1.85
2630          - Sorting out hard-coded constants that prevented heat and fresh water conservation.
2631          - Sorting out the various fields units and sign (set early on and reset at the end)
2632            to avoid numerous scalings/re-scalings. By v1.85 the basic unit for ice, heat and
2633            fresh water stock is 'effective ice meters', and >0 implies more ice/snow.
2634          - Using tendency terms arrays (d_HEFF* etc.) to alleviate remaining code locks,
2635            and simplifying logical expressions to further improve readibility.
2636        part 3: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.86 to 1.89
2637          - Re-organize the blocks of code more logically.
2638          - Merging the '_if.F' pieces that add something new.
2639    o pkg/thsice:
2640      - vectorize thsice_solve4temp and thsice_get_exf.
2641        Problem: thsice_solve4temp has an unvectorizable statement that
2642        might also be problematic for TAF
2643      - thsice_get_exf: add the ALLOW_BULK_LARGEYEAGER04 CPP-flag. This
2644        does not change the verifcation experiment, but will change all
2645        experiments that have this flag undefined (not tested in verification);
2646        a little reorganization to save a few 2D fields and recomputations
2647      - 1st step of revisiting thsice adjoint (major recomp. sorted out)
2648      - 2nd step:  fix some store dirs
2649        o seems to work somewhat, i.e. using ifort but not g77
2650        o likely cause are incomplete init. or recomputation
2651        o start verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input_ad.thsice
2652    o pkg/obcs: add support for exch2
2653      - the position of the boundary and prescribed values are specified using
2654        a global domain with exch2 facets stacked
2655        - in x for N,S boundaries (like W2_mapIO=-1)
2656        - in y for E,W boundaries (so E,W boundaries do not overlap)
2657    o pkg/mdsio: add support for writing global sections with exch2
2658        file layout is as for obcs described above:
2659        - for x-z sections, facets are stacked in x (like W2_mapIO=-1)
2660        - for y-z sections, facets are stacked in y
2661    o pkg/thsice:
2662       - change a few routines for better vectorization: thsice_albedo.F,
2663         thsice_step_temp.F, and in thsice_calc_thickn.F. Results are
2664         not affected, but in particular the latter routine has changed
2665         dramatically (not necessarily easier to read now).
2666       - re-arrange calculation in THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP: move outside of i,j loops
2667       iteration loop and call to S/R THSICE_GET_BULKF & THSICE_GET_EXF.
2668    o verification/lab_sea:
2669      - overhaul of the forward model experiments. The main motivation
2670        for this revision is that lab_sea has proven quite fragile (when
2671        changing the sea-ice code, and switching platforms) to a point
2672        when failures were very hard to attribute to specific code problems.
2673      - the suspected reason for this fragility is noise amplification by evp so,
2674        to start with, we decided to replace evp with lsr in the main experiment.
2675      - the input.lsr experiment thus became obsolete and was removed.
2676      - it was replaced with the input.fd experiment that uses an
2677        analytical "free drift" solution as the ice velocity field.
2678      - Taken together, input (lsr), input.fd (free drift) and input.hb87 (evp)
2679        will hopefully allow us to discriminate problems due to dynamic solvers
2680        from problems due to the thermodynamic code. input.salt_plume (lsr) allows
2681        us to test additional options, along with the salt plume package.
2682      - Finally a pickup was generated (at the end of a one year run) to
2683        make the tests more representative of an actual model run. Previously
2684        the tests starting point was a 1m thickness of ice everywhere.
2685    o pkg/seaice:
2686      - introducing S\R seaice_freedrift.F that compute the
2687        analytical solution to an approximate ice momentum
2688        equation (i.e. the simple stress/coriolis balance).
2689      - define SEAICE_ALLOW_FREEDRIFT to trigger the computation
2690        of the free drift velocity field, and enable its use.
2691        To actually use the free drift solution as the model ice
2692        velocity field set SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT to .TRUE. in data.seaice.
2693    o move "useOASIS" from PARAMS.h to EEPARAMS.h and read it from "eedata"
2694    
2695    checkpoint62l (2010/10/04)
2696    o pkg/seaice:
2697      -fix the USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version (for variable freezing point);
2698      -use "celsius2K" in SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT and in new
2699       version (with USE_ORIGINAL_SBI undef);
2700    o add hooks for new packages OASIS, the package will follow
2701      (hooks exclude the seaice pkg for now)
2702    o pkg/autodiff: ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
2703      Option to use mdsio_read_whalos.F/mdsio_write_whalos.F,
2704      rather than mdsio_readvector.F/mdsio_writevector.F, within
2705      adread_adwrite.F to read/write adjoint-related tapes to disk.
2706    o eesupp and pkg/mdsio: ALLOW_WHIO
2707      Option to write/read 2D fields to files including tiles halos.
2708      The main purpose is for adjoint related "tape I/O".
2709      The secondary purpose is for debugging phases.
2710      A word on those rather specifically intended purposes.
2711      The code was meant to be stripped down to the bare minimum.
2712      Typically, there is a unique and basic mapping to the global
2713      buffer (tile by tile, then proc by proc, then level by level), and
2714      byteswaps and meta-files are omitted. Indeed the (*_WH*) code is not
2715      meant to generate user friendly outputs of various shapes and forms.
2716      Rather it is intended, for the knowledgeabale developers,
2717      to be largely independent of the many mdsio options, to allow
2718      outputs of tiles+halos in debugging phases and in adjoint runs,
2719      and to allow some flexibility in tuning (adoint) I/O depending on each
2720      file system behavior. With regard to tuning, most of the potential knobs
2721      (to leave files open, to allocate the I/O indep. of usesinglecpuio,
2722      to specify directories, to specify the typical size of I/O calls, etc.)
2723      are not yet included, and will be added if they prove useful.
2724    o pkg/seaice:
2725       fix uninitialised arrays in USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version of seaice_solve4temp.F
2726    o pkg/seaice:
2727       new S/R seaice_solve4temp.F: this is the merged version of Ian Fenty
2728       code (seaice_budget_ice_if.F) which enable to recover old standard
2729       code (seaice_budget_ice.F) when option USE_ORIGINAL_SBI is defined.
2730       temporary: add "#define USE_ORIGINAL_SBI" at the top of seaice_solve4temp.F.
2731    o model/src (rStar):
2732       use simple average (not area weighted) of rStarFac at U,V point when using
2733       vectorInvariant and selectKEscheme=1,3 (consistent with mom. vertical advection)
2734       update output of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 and fizhi-cs-aqualev20.
2735    
2736    checkpoint62k (2010/09/17)
2737    o adjoint
2738       * changed verification/global_ocean.cs32x15 ; adjoint now tests
2739         Adams-Bashforth 3 + NLFS + RSTAR
2740       * some more modifs required for ECCO-GODAE v4
2741    o pkg/seaice
2742       add SEAICE_AGE_VOL option to use volume instead of area for
2743       integrating SEAICE_AGE
2744  o model/src:  o model/src:
2745     first check-in of sigma & hybrid-sigma coordinate code ; also includes     first check-in of sigma & hybrid-sigma coordinate code ; also includes
2746     non-linear free-surface parts ; but pressure-gradient not yet coded.     non-linear free-surface parts ; but pressure-gradient not yet coded.
