4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o genmake2 & testreport:
8      - add genmake2 option "-oad" to generate a Makefile for OpenAD built and
9        in this case, use tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad as default AD optfile.
10        Update testreport accordingly. No need to set "export OPENAD=true"
11        in adjoint_options/adjoint_oad anymore (will be removed later).
12    o pkg/shelfice:
13      - put T & S shelfice forcing into model surfaceForcing_T,_S (for now,
14        only if SHELFICEboundaryLayer=F); Change model/src/external_forcing.F
15        so that surface forcing applies to k=kSurf if using pkg/shelfice.
16    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk, pkg/ecco:
17      - Changes to make GENARR more modular (i.e. invisible if not used)
18    o model/src/temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F
19      - re-include store directives that were removed on Dec 27th.
20    o model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
21      - add storage directives for EmPmR and PmEpR to avoid recomputation of
22        seaice_model in the adjoint that is problematic when seaice_model is
23        turned off in the adjoint. The resolved issue dated back to July when
24        EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF call was moved.
25        Update global_ocean.cs32x15/*/output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt accordingly.
26    o pkg/exf/exf_check.F
27      - fix a small bug again (originally found by Wentao Liu, now found again)
28      - streamline error output
29    o pkg/streamice and aim_v23:
30      - replace a few "_EXCH_XY_RL (" with "_EXCH_XY_RL(", so that
31        Apple's /usr/bin/cpp knows what to do:
32        Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
33        Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
34    
35    checkpoint64s (2014/01/05)
36    o tools/adjoint_options:
37      - switch to fastopt.net TAF server (instead of default fastopt.de) for
38        AD optfiles adjoint_diva & adjoint_f95 (similar to adjoint_default).
39    o model/src:
40      - remove some unnecessary TAF storage directives in forward_step.F and
41        in dynamics.F (note: not always removed by TAF, e.g., double storage
42        of kappaRU,kappaRV in former version of dynamics.F).
43    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
44      - call directly GAD_IMPLICIT_R & IMPLDIFF + DWNSLP_APPLY from temp_integrate.F
45        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (instead of from thermodynamics.F)
46        and remove ptracers_dwnslp_apply.F & ptracers_implicit.F
47      - call MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP for each tracer (in ptracers_integrate.F)
48      - add fZon & fMer as output argument of S/R GAD_CALC_RHS.
49      - update TAF AD-output of experiments global_ocean.90x40x15 (13 for AD-grad).
50    o useSingleCpuInput separates single-CPU input from single-CPU output;
51        for now only implemented for in exf_interp_read.F
52    o verification/advect_xy:
53      - fix missing EXCH call in local version of ini_salt.F and update output.
54    o momentum diagnostics:
55      - fix which deltaT is used in Total-Tendency diagnostics.
56      - fix typo in diagnostics for momentum tendency from AB.
57    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: fix an initialisation bug for the
58        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA option that lead to NaNs on a NEC-SX8
59    
60    checkpoint64r (2013/12/08)
61    o verification/*/results:
62      - Update reference output of experiments that were passing with just 13 digits
63         (make it easier to detect future changes in results)
64    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
65      - move calls to GAD_ADVECTION (Multi-Dim advection) from thermodynamics.F to
66        inside temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F and from ptracers_advection.F
67        to inside ptracers_integrate.F ; remove ptracers_advection.F
68    o coupling interface pkgs:
69        [atm_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf & atm_ocn_coupler]
70      - change the config check to test the agreement of Ocean Depth
71        with ATM land/sea mask (instead of ATM orography);
72      - send to coupler the number of coupler time-steps to do for this run:
73        this allows to check for consistency and don't need anymore to be
74        specified in parameter file "data";
75      in coupler:
76      - check consistency of RunOff map versus Ocean Depth and ATM land/sea mask.
77      - improve report to log-file of config setting (pass log-file unit to few S/R)
78    o pkg/compon_communic:
79      - add coupling send/receive for non-tiled integer vector;
80      - add S/R to check and stop if any proc has an error (similar to
81        eesupp/src/stop_if_error.F but single thread and across Comm_World).
82    o pkg/exch2:
83      - in exch2*_get_rx[1,2]: use new list "W2_tileIndex" to replace search
84        through list of all tiles my proc owns.
85    o model/src:
86      - AUTODIFF only: in calc_adv_flow.F, recompute rTransKp (instead of copying
87        from rTrans) to simplify dependencies (no need to store rTrans anymore in
88        calling S/R); this affects AD results at machine truncation level:
89        update AD-output (TAF) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
90        bottom_ctrl_5x5 & obcs_ctrl (12 digits for AD grad, same FWD grad).
91    o tools/build_options:
92      - simplify Warnings options (-ieee & -devel cases) in linux_amd64_gfortran
93    o coupling interface pkgs:
94        [compon_communic, atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf]
95      - move declaration of local array "ibuf" out of header file "CPLR_SIG.h"
96        to each S/R that needs it; remove un-used variables.
97      - change component tile registration (cpl_register.F in both compon_interf
98        and mitcomponent_tile_register.F) to pass the full list of tiles
99        information (including bi,bj) in 1 vector (instead of in a bi,bj matrix).
100      - with pkg/exch2: adopt the same convention used for I/O to define mapping
101        towards coupler global array (unless W2_useE2ioLayOut=F):
102         a) can now use different tiling between atm & ocn comp.
103         b) no needs to modify the run-Off map when changing tiling (was needed
104            even if using the same tiling between atm & ocn).
105         c) will allow to run with blank-tiles in 1 component (e.g., for ocean
106            full land tiles); not yet tested.
107      - check for valid mapping from comp. tile to coupler global array
108      - improve report of tile registration results to log file.
109    o pkg/exch2:
110      - in eesupp/src/eeboot.F: move call to W2_EEBOOT before Coupler
111        tile-registration (CPL_REGISTER);
112      - activate (un-comment) definition and setting of "W2_tileIndex" list to
113        store the local bi,bj indices of each tile;
114      - also print bi,bj in local report to log file;
115      - fix pkg/debug/debug_cs_corner_uv.F for the case nSy > 1 (left from
116        Jun 2009 modif of pkg/exch2).
117    o testing on baudelaire:
118      - run 2 tests at a time: no significant slow down (since enough cpu) and
119        get the full set of test done earlier
120      - switch the ifort test to "-devel" ; run the OpenAD test everyday.
121    o model/src/thermodynamics.F and routines called from it:
122      - pkg/gmredi: gmredi_residual_flow.F (replacing gmredi_calc_uvflow.F &
123        gmredi_calc_wflow.F) to update eulerian velocity (input) into residual
124        velocity (outp) by adding bolus velocity.
125      - model/src: calc_adv_flow.F (replacing calc_common_factors.F) to compute
126        mass transport from velocity + lateral grid cell area
127      - rename calc_gt.F to temp_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
128      - rename calc_gs.F to salt_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
129     in thermodynamics.F
130      - remove k from thermodynamics.F and move it to temp_integrate.F
131        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (now done inside the tracer
132        loop).
133      - compute locally (in thermodynamics.F) 3-D velocity field that is used to
134        advect tracers; pass it as argument to GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
135        PTRACERS_ADVECTION, TEMP_INTEGRATE, SALT_INTEGRATE, PTRACERS_INTEGRATE,
136        GAD_IMPLICIT_R and PTRACERS_IMPLICIT
137      - update AD-output (TAF & OAD) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
138        global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and
139        tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ TLM output).
140    o tools/OAD_support and (verification/*/) code_oad:
141      - OAD_support/cb2mGetModules.csh: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in header file to
142        module conversion ; remove unneeded CPP_EEOPTIONS.h.
143      - code_oad/CPP_OPTIONS.h: remove PACKAGES_CONFIG.h and use a more standard
144        version (closer to model/inc/CPP_OPTIONS.h).
145    o model/src:
146      - remove parameter "useOldFreezing" from PARAMS.h and push it to the
147        retired list of parameters (routine FREEZE has been replace by surface
148        freezing (10.yrs ago) and by pkg/frazil (interior freezing).
149    o pkg/gmredi:
150      - add option (GM_CALC_TRANSP_FROM_VEL) to compute transport directly from
151        velocity (same scheme but affects machine truncation) for GM_AdvForm.
152      - update output of FWD experiments: front_relax.bvp,
153        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp, global_ocean.cs32x15 and ideal_2D_oce.
154    
155    checkpoint64q (2013/11/17)
156    o verification:
157      - generate new output on baudelaire (gfortran, -ieee) for OpenAD experiments
158        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and global_ocean.90x40x15.
159      - generate new output (growth & melt) for seaice_itd experiment after
160        updating the input pickup_seaice files (previously wrong).
161    o pkg/cost:
162      - define a "final cost function" for each tile, and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
163        (instead of _GLOBAL_SUM_RL) to get the final cost from all procs & threads:
164        o this fixes global-sum value if multi-threads (since GLOBAL_SUM_RL
165          cannot be applied to var in common block).
166        o allows to get results independent of tile-per-proc setting (if using
167          slower GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV option).
168      - update accordingly: seaice_cost_final.F, shelfice_cost_final.F,
169        thsice_cost_final.F and ecco_cost_final.F (this one affects lab_sea
170        forward gradients: update output).
171      - update */code_oad/externalDummies.F by adding dummy GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
172        S/R and, for most exp., also comment out GLOBAL_SUM_R8.
173    o pkg/mom_common:
174      - move to pkg/mom_common and model/src (previously in tutorial_deep_convection
175        code) 2nd version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code interface: strain and
176        viscosity are locally declared in dynmics.F and pass as argument to CALC_GW;
177        ensure that all field value that are used are set.
178    o tutorial_deep_convection (smag3d):
179      - add missing scaling in mom_calc_smag_3d.F;
180      - set smag3D_coeff in input.smag3d such that results do not change.
181    o pkg/dic:
182      - change dic_cost.F to compute cost on each tile first and then apply
183        GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL: this affects forward gradient of AD experiments
184        tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo; update output.
185      - remove kLev argument and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL in tracer_meanarea.
186    o eesupp/src & pkg/mdsio:
187      - remove gather/scatter_vector.F (from eesupp) and mdsio_read/writevector.F
188        (from pkg/mdsio) since they are no longer used for tape IO.
189      - move simple C subroutine "setdir.c" from pkg/compon_communic to eesupp/src
190        (+ keep a copy in pkg/atm_ocn_coupler).
191    o verification/isomip:
192      - split domain in 8 squared tiles (instead of just 2) for FWD, AD & OAD tests.
193    o tools/build_options:
194      - optfile linux_amd64_ifort11, fast (no ieee) case:
195        to get a working restart for all experiments, add "-fp-model source"
196        to FOPTIM (also remove "-opt-streaming-stores auto" <- this is the default).
197    
198    checkpoint64p (2013/10/20)
199    o pkg/autodiff:
200      - adread_adwrite.F: when type and length do not match ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
201        criteria, return to simple (default) tape IO format.
202    o pkg/mdsio (+ eesupp/src):
203      - rewrite/simplify tape-IO S/R (new S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_TAPE replace
204        previous MDSREAD/WRITEVECTOR) with 2 array argument from each type (R4/R8);
205      - fix globalFile and singleCpuIO options using simpler global mapping.
206      - new pairs of scatter/gather vector S/R (one for each type, generated from
207        template) corresponding to simpler global mapping.
208      - adread_write.F: switch to new S/R (but leave old calls commented) and write
209        to globalFile when parameter globalFiles is set to True.
210      - switch on useSingleCpuIO in AD experiments: global_ocean.90x40x15 & isomip.
211    o pkg/autodiff:
212      - adread_adwrite.F: add a hack for RS arrays (when RS=real*4);
213        with ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO defined, since corresponding (real*4) is
214        missing, just add a STOP if array type do not match.
215    o pkg/exf:
216      - to allow to use seaice-fraction from pkg/exf in other pkgs than pkg/seaice:
217         rename CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX to EXF_SEAICE_FRACTION
218         and rename array obsSIce to exf_iceFraction.
219    o tutorial_deep_convection:
220      - add 1rst version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code (from Louis-Philippe),
221        for now all in this exp. code dir.
222      - add secondary test using Smag-3D viscosity (keep very low backgroud visc for
223        testing) and flux-limter advection scheme for Temp. (no explicit diffusion).
224    o eesupp/src:
225      - added SINGLE_DISK_IO option because reading of parameter files on
226        very large number of processors did not work with existing set-up
227    
228    checkpoint64o (2013/09/25)
229    o pkg/atm_phys & atm_compon_interf:
230      - allows for coupling of gray-atmosphere (atm_phys) with ocean.
231    o tools/build_options:
232      - switch from "-fPIC" to "-mcmodel=medium" in optfiles: linux_amd64_gfortran
233        & linux_amd64_ifort11 and in linux_amd64_g77 & linux_amd64_open64 also
234        remove CPP setting (was identical to genmake2 default).
235    o pkg/gmredi & model/src: Some updating and work done on the residual model.
236      - created new file model/src/calc_eddy_stress.F to calculate the eddy stress.
237      - fixed up the calculation of the eddy stress and how it is added to the
238        external forcing via taueddy_external_forcing.F
239      - at the moment, it is very experimental and only works with the variable eddy
240        diffusivity calculated in gmredi_k3d.F
241    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: add a check to catch the case of specifying
242        lw/swfluxfile instead of lw/swdownfile in data.exf together with pkg/seaice
243    o testreport (& tools/do_tst_2+2):
244      - for MPI test, set default COMMAND to 'mpirun -v -np TR_NPROC ./{executable}'
245    o tools/build_options: linux_amd64_gfortran & linux_amd64_ifort11:
246      - remove CPP='cpp -traditional -P' (this is genmake2 default)
247      - add switch (for big setups) to use 'medium' memory-model (but leave it
248        commented out for now). Note: needed with FC 19 to compile big setups.
249    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
250      - regroup per field origin (model & pkgs) the coupling storage routines
251         (which accumalate in time each coupling field)
252      - move bi,bj loops inside atm_store_my_data.F and store also wind-stress;
253        update accordingly + simplify aim_do_physics.F
254    
255    checkpoint64n (2013/08/26)
256    o pkg/bbl:
257      - update formulation to reduce dispersion of tracer properties in bbl
258      - replaced horizontal and vertical transport parameters with velocities
259      - changes results for verification/global_with_exf.yearly
260    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
261      - change to matrix construction; update both Fwd & AD output.
262    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
263      - OpenAD test: switch to vector-invariant momentum since fluxform with
264        rStar causes problems with OpenAD; update output.
265    o tools:
266      - genmake2: define a common prefix for all temp-file names ; move them
267        to local /tmp disk (but would be easy to move them back);
268      - xmakedepend: apply the same switch for temp-files.
269    o pkg/offline:
270      - changes for use with rStar (NLFS): assume that we continue to provide
271        UVELMASS/hFacW_ini & VVELMASS/hFacS_ini (hFacWi,S_ini as written in grid
272        output files) and apply r* scaling at each time-step (function of the time
273        varying Eta field); use normal pickup files (needed for restart with NLFS).
274    o adjoint with OpenAD:
275      - move OpenAD-specific files from verification/OpenAD/code_oad_all to a new
276        package openad.  This package has to be compiled for all runs with OpenAD
277        instead of specifying code_oad_all as a modification directory.
278      - link the fortran templates from tools/OAD_support to the build directory
279        for preprocessing to avoid conflicts between different setups compiled
280        simultaneously and simplify cleanup.
281    o pkg/exf:
282      - in exf_getforcing.F: comment out most of the EXCH calls (fields used by
283        main model or other pkgs are exchanged in EXF_MAPFIELDS).
284    o model/src:
285      - do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F: skip EXCH calls when using pkg/offline
286        (similar to do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F).
287    o tools/genmake2:
288      - remove TAF output src code just before calling staf (when not doing a fresh
289        built, will stop if things go wrong with staf).
290      - fix target "adobj" (left from TAF version-2 transition)
291    o pkg/diagnostics:
292      - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;
293        this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check
294        when adding diag to the list) to also check any DIAGNOSTICS_[]FILL* call.
295        New S/R to print error message and stop when pkgStatus is not right.
296      - to try: add a warning when "data.diagnostics" exist but useDiagnostics=F.
297    
298    checkpoint64m (2013/08/13)
299    o model/inc:
300      - move FCORI_MACROS.h from PARAMS(_MACROS).h to GRID_MACROS.h (left from
301        8 yrs ago modif when Coriolis arrays were moved from PARAMS.h to GRID.h)
302    o pkg/kpp & aim_v23:
303      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
304    o pkg/seaice:
305      - restore (last time on 2011/12/24) ability to compile pkg/seaice with
306        undefined pkg/exf ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_RUNOFF CPP-options.
307      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
308    o eesupp/src:
309      - fix check for overlap-size argument (myOLn.GT.MAX_OLY_EXCH)
310        in exch1_rx[_ad].template (thanks to Francois Lefeuvre report).
311    o switch to TAF version-2:
312      - add flow directives to "freeze" naming convention for ad-routines that
313        are used in I/O routines of adjoint state and associated common blocks
314        that are used in adcommon.h (backward compatible with version-1)
315      - update all ad-optfiles (in tools/adjoint_options + few local to some
316        verification exp) to switch to latest TAF version (currently 2.5.5);
317        merge "*_mpi" adoptfiles into the corresponding non-mpi (but commented
318        out except for diva).
319      - the major change with TAF version-2 is that both the differentiated
320        routines and the forward routines (new) are returned as part of the TAF
321        output source code. Update genmake2 accordingly.
322      - new output for AD experiment tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (better AD gradient
323        with version-2 when compared to TLM or FWD gradient); other experiments
324        output show minor changes (machine truncation level); update the few AD &
325        TLM output with 12 matching digits only (some prior to version-2 switch).
326    
327    checkpoint64l (2013/08/05)
328    o model/src:
329      - in dynamics.F, skip the call to CALC_VISCOSITY if momViscosity=F
330      - main_do_loop.F: no longer includes additional (AUTODIFF) header files
331        when using TAF but only if using OpenAD.
332    o pkg/mom_common+fluxform+vecinv:
333      - always set horiz. viscosity arrays to background value before calling
334        MOM_CALC_VISC (in MOM_FLUXFORM & MOM_VECINV) and call S/R MOM_CALC_VISC
335        only when using variable horiz. viscosity (useVariableVisc=T);
336      - simplify mom_vecinv.F (only 1 block for momViscosity).
337    o pkg/mom_common: variable horiz. viscosity in NH code
338      - move horiz-viscosity 3-D arrays viscAh_W & viscA4_W (used in calc_gw.F)
339        from model/inc/NH_VARS.h to pkg/mom_common/MOM_VISC.h
340      - store in common block (in MOM_VISC.h) logical parameters: useHarmonicVisc,
341        useBiharmonicVisc & useVariableVisc.
342      - fix old bug (already in 1rst implementation of variable horizontal viscosity
343        in calc_gw.F, version 1.27, 2006/06/20):
344        horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity in gW was missing when wiscA4W=0
345        even if variable bi-harmonic viscosity (e.g., viscA4Grid) was non-zero.
346      - change background horiz viscosity in vertical momentum (gW) to always be
347        viscAhW,viscA4W (instead of switching to viscAhD, viscA4D when using
348        any type of variable viscosity, e.g., viscAh/4Grid)
349      - change default value of viscAhW,viscA4W to viscAhD,viscA4D (instead of
350        viscAh,viscA4) which default to viscAh,viscA4 :  this avoid missing
351        horiz. viscosity in W eq when just setting viscAhD/Z,viscA4D/Z (since
352        default viscAh,viscA4 is zero).
353    o model/src:
354      - extend length of drC & recip_drC from Nr to Nr+1.
355    o Divided Adjoint (DIVA) with MPI:
356      - genmake2: do not create local ./mpi_headers dir when no file to copy into.
357      - remove option ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT_MPI (replaced by ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT
358        and ALLOW_USE_MPI) from model/src code and from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h.
359    
360    checkpoint64k (2013/07/23)
361    o tools/OAD_support:
362      - avoid the need for file "oadtempflile" in insertTemplateDir.bash
363        and remove it from genmake2.
364    o tools/build_options:
365      - remove MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC setting (no longer used) and comment out
366        MPI_HEADER_FILES list (let genmake2 find the missing headers)
367    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
368      - change to driving stress formulation; update both Fwd & AD output.
369    o tools/genmake2 and Divided Adjoint with MPI:
370      - remove default setting of MPIINCLUDEDIR from $MPIHOME (always been broken);
371      - only create local ./mpi_headers dir if using MPI and MPIINCLUDEDIR is set;
372      - add new variable (LOCAL_MPI_HEADERS, replace MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC) in
373        Makefile, which is set by genmake2, and check which mpi-headers are needed.
374        Note: need to update adjoint_options/adjoint_diva_mpi accordingly.
375      - update target "CLEAN" (to also remove ./mpi_headers/ dir).
376    o testreport:
377      - changes for Divided Adjoint Run: when file "run_ADM_DIVA" is present,
378        perform additional runs (number of additional runs is "add_DIVA_runs" taken
379        from file run_ADM_DIVA ; should match "nchklev_3" in file "code_ad/tamc.h").
380    o verification/lab_sea (AD test):
381      - change to test Divided Adjoint Run in this set-up (both standard AD test
382        and 2 secondary AD test: noseaice + noseaicedyn); drop the evp AD test.
383    o pkg atm_ & ocn_compon_interf:
384      - remove cpl_earlyExpImpCall=F option (was mainly a hack added for the old
385        staggerTimeStep implementation) and disable (retired) corresponding
386        parameter.
387    o pkg/offline:
388      - comment out unused field-array: ICEM, ConvectCount, hflx[01], icem[01];
389      - add S/R OFFLINE_CHECK to print offline parameter summary
390        and stop if loading a file that is not used;
391      - enable to calculate GMRedi tensor, KPP mixing and convective index
392        when the corresponding file(s) is/are not specified (but pkg is used).
393      - comment out resetting of monitorFreq (to endTime) since it still useful
394        for monitoring CFL numbers and checking offline fields.
395    o OpenAD:
396      - do not define OAD_DEBUG (in tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad) to get
397        smaller standard output) and generate new (smaller) output (on baudelaire
398        using gfortran with -ieee) for exp. tutorial_tracer_adjsens
399    o model/src:
400      - call EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF outside bi,bj loops (in do_oceanic_phys.F),
401        (where external_forcing_adjust was called) and change list of arguments;
402      - merge external_forcing_adjust.F into external_forcing_surf.F
403      - put surface relaxation of SST & SSS in new S/R (forcing_surf_relax.F)
404        which also contains balancing surface relaxation (ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX,
405        previously in file "balance_relax.F", now removed); remove corresponding
406        arrays in FFIELDS.h.
407      - EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF is now called when using pkg/offline; implement
408        a hack for getting back surfaceForcingS (loaded from file) when using
409        ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (pkg/dic, in DIC_OPTIONS.h) in offline set-up.
410      - update output of AD test experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix
411        (was getting only 11 digits for AD-grad, due to different truncation
412         error in AD code).
413    
414    checkpoint64j (2013/07/04)
415    o pkg/offline:
416      - to enable the use of other features with pkg offline (e.g., obcs),
417        also call S/R DO_OCEANIC_PHYS in offline run - more modifs to come.
418      - comment out "allowFreezing" (now active) in 2 offline testing exp.
419    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
420      - fix sign and make compatible with temp_EvPrRn .NE. UNSET_RL
421      - ahdded RUNOFTEMP test to verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
422      - changes verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/results/output.seaice.txt
423    o pkg/atm_phys:
424      - allows to add some damping on uVel,vVel (strength only function of k).
425    o verification, ad-tests:
426      - reduce length of the simulation for AD test: global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice,
427        global_ocean_ebm and offline_exf_seaice.thsice.
428    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
429      - found a bug in s/r pkg/streamice/streamice_advect_thickness which caused
430        flux input boundary conditions to be ignored; a fix for this bug changed
431        verification results for forward test.
432      - add adjoint test.
433    o pkg/ptracers:
434      - allow to restart without SOM pickup (resetting SOM to zero).
435    o pkg/gmredi:
436      - New parameterisation for the calculation of K and (GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY) added.
437      - It uses mixing length theory and suppression by steering level effects to
438        calculate a diffusivity used in the Redi tensor (see Bates et al., submitted
439        to JPO, for more details).
440      - It also uses the diffusivity to calculate an eddy induced streamfunction
441        based on a PV closure (rather than a buoyancy closure as in GM).
442      - New files added to pkg/gmredi:
443        gmredi_k3d.F calculates the diffusivity for the Redi tensor and the eddy
444          induced overturning streamfunction (called from gmredi_calc_tensor)
445        gmredi_calc_eigs.F calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors required
446          for use in gmredi_k3d
447        gmredi_calc_urms.F calculates the the rms eddy velocity used to calculate
448          the eddy diffusivity
449    
450    checkpoint64i (2013/06/18)
451    o pkg/cheapaml:
452      - take src files from MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/offline_cheapaml/code
453        that enable the use of seaice (pkg/thsice thermo & pkg/seaice dynamics)
454        with pkg/cheapaml.
455    o utils/python: add subpackage for cubed sphere function, first example is
456        simple cs.pcol to plot 2D fields on a map
457    o pkg/streamice:
458      - This is a new package in MITgcm, which solves dynamic equations for ice
459         sheets and ice streams
460      - At the moment it is independent of atmosphere/ocean dynamics, or any
461        other physical packages in MITgcm, even ShelfIce (although it is anticipat-
462        ed that this will change)
463      - There is a new verification exercise that tests it, halfpipe_streamice,
464        evolves a 40x80 km ice stream/ice shelf (at coarse resolution) in a
465        rectangular embayment
466      - halfpipe_streamice is forward-only for now, will have TAF test soon
467      - for questions, email dgoldber@mit.edu
468    o pkg/thsice:
469      - fix filling of snow-precip diagnostic (SIsnwPrc) (left from the removing
470        of snowPrc from common bloc, on May 2nd, thsice_step_fwd.F revision 1.40);
471      - remove diagnostics 'SI_FrcFx' ( now identical to 'SI_Fract' with new
472         call sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect );
473      - allow precip from pkg/cheapaml to make snow over seaice.
474    o pkg/cfc:
475      - move in separated header file (CFC_ATMOS.h) time-serie arrays of Atmos CFC
476      - remove atmos CFC 2-D arrays from common bloc (now local variables)
477      - change some hard-coded constant to run time parameter for reading and
478        and interpolating atmospheric CFC ; keep same default as previously.
479      - more flexible reading of Atmos CFC (number of records no longer hard-coded)
480      - put arguments in standard order: myTime, myIter, myThid
481      - use standard S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL for time interpolation of
482        atmospheric CFC ; fix for the case myIter < PTRACERS_iter0.
483      - fix calculation of surf tendencys for partial-cell and/or Non-Lin Free-Surf
484      - new routine to print summary of CFC params and check for consistency.
485    o pkg/seaice: add uice/vice to the parameter list of s/r seaice_advdiff,
486      similar to thsice_advdiff.
487      Note that for the B-grid case the routine parameters uc/vc are overwritten.
488    o pkg/cfc:
489      - change time interpolation for atmospheric CFC-11 (now same as for CFC-12);
490        update output (CFC-11) of experiment cfc_example and tutorial_cfc_offline.
491      - fix interpolation of atmphspheric CFC between Sorthern and Northern
492        hemisphere value.
493    o pkg/seaice:
494      - allow to use seaice dynamics without pkg/exf (e.g., using pkg/cheapaml)
495    o pkg/seaice: add Adams-Bashforth2 time discretization for ice dynamics;
496                  so far only for JFNK-solver, turn on with SEAICEuseAB2 = .TRUE.
497      - requires an additional time level that is stored in the pickup
498      - you can start with AB2 from a pickup without this time level with
499        pickupStrictlyMatch = .false.
500    
501    checkpoint64h (2013/05/26)
502    o pkg/cheapaml:
503      - replace one ()**.5 with SQRT + use temp var "cdu = tau/Du" (coare3_flux);
504        affect machine truncation (but exp cheapAML_box still pass with 13 digits).
505      - consistent treatment of uWind,vWind location: assume everywhere in
506        pkg/cheapaml that they are on C-grid (@ uVel,vVel location)
507        (Note: was already the case for Tair,Qair advection);
508        add option (INCONSISTENT_WIND_LOCATION) to recover old results.
509      - compute diabatic forcing only in the interior (excluding overlap regions)
510      - fill in array "Qsw" (for short-wave heating);
511      - add diagnostic for precip ; fill-in diagnostics for cheapAML state vars
512        before any update (consistent with MITgcm state var diagnostics);
513      - cheapaml_fields_load.F & cheapaml_init_varia.F : only fill outer edges if
514        non periodic ; + adjusted for uWind,vWind (C-grid).
515    o pkg/seaice:
516      - remove dependence of pkg/seaice versus pkg/exf (file: pkg/pkg_depend) and
517        add explicitly pkg/exf in experiments that currently use pkg/seaice.
518      - allows to compile pkg/seaice without pkg/exf.
519    o tools/OAD_support:
520      - use a local copy (ourRWCPinBd) to ensure index ourRWCP stays within bounds
521        of array "ourStepOf" in function rvNextAction (revolve.F90).
522    o pkg/aim_compon_interf renamed to pkg/atm_compon_interf
523      - change pkg name (to be used with other atmospheric physics pkg)
524        but by-pass CVS when making the new pkg so that we keep the CVS history.
525    o pkg/offline:
526      - call OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD from pkg/offline/offline_init_varia.F
527        (previously called from pkg/dic_surfforcing_init.F)
528    o model/src:
529      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_init_variables.F, using
530        standard order, except for:
531         DIAGNOSTICS_INIT_VARIA and OFFLINE_INIT_VARIA (called @ the top),
532         CTRL_MAP_INI and OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES (called @ the bottom)
533    o new pkg: atm_phys
534      - add entry point and source code (previously in contrib
535          verification_other/atm_gray/code_gray/) for new pkg "atm_phys"
536        (atmospheric physics pkg from P. O'Gorman and T. Schneider, JCl, 2008).
537      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_readparms.F,
538         packages_init_fixed.F and packages_write_pickup.F
539        (but skip packages_init_variables.F because of TAF issues).
540      - update contrib/*/atm_gray/ experiment.
541    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
542      - simplify and fix the writing of pickup-files for ITD case
543    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
544      - introduce floe size dependent lateral melt for ITD case;
545      - cleaning (avoid division by zero, change to f77 syntax, remove tabs)
546      - update seaice_itd experiment main output.
547    o pkg/thsice:
548      - remove snowPrc from common block THSICE_FLUX, in THSICE_VARS.h and
549        declared it locally (without bi,bj) in thsice_main.F & aim_do_physics.F;
550        changed accordingly pkg/atm2d.
551    
552    checkpoint64g (2013/05/01)
553    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
554      - if defined,  river and glacier runoff temperature can be read-in from
555        runoftempfile; runoftempfile needs to have same format as runofffile
556    o pkg/thsice (& pkg/bulk_force):
557      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
558        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap (like with pkg/exf).
559      - change computation domain to always be the interior (without overlap).
560      - fix bug (wrong overlap) when using EXF and stressReduction > 0.
561    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
562      - add preliminary OpenAD setup (still has problems)
563    o pkg/seaice:
564      - turn some parameters for choosing the convergence criterion of
565        the inexact Newton method (JFNK) into runtime parameters for convenience
566      - clean up seaice_calc_viscosities.F: remove/retire two options for
567        SEAICetaZmethod (1,2), introduce area weighting for method 3; this changes
568        the results of lab_sea/input because a division has been replaced by
569        a multiplication with the reciprocal (sumNorm)
570      - modify offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk/data.seaice to improve
571        convergence of solver (changes results, of course), and to test some
572        new features
573    o model/src:
574      - remove unused (since Aug 2006) S/R SET_WRITE_GLOBAL_PICKUP and its call.
575      - remove unused forcing field "dQdT" and associated parameter "dQdTFile".
576      - move forcing adjustment (balancing surface forcing) in specific S/R
577        where might also be applied exchanges (if needed) to forcing arrays.
578    o pkg/shelfice:
579      - allow to specify the Ice-Shelf mass per unit area (instead of
580        shelficeLoadAnomaly) and do the conversion from one to the other
581      - move loading from file of shelficeLoadAnomaly from SHELFICE_INIT_VARIA
582        to SHELFICE_INIT_FIXED: (a) avoid some TAF recompution issues and
583        (b) will be loaded in time (before calling INI_PRESSURE) in case it is
584        needed in phi0surf for initial pressure calculation when useDynP_inEos_Zc
585      - update isomip experiment forward output (get machine truncation error
586        from conversion shelficeLoadAnomaly -> shelficeMass -> shelficeLoadAnomaly)
587    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
588      revise data.seaice in input.thermo and input_ad and update results accordingly
589        HO = 0.2, SEAICE_areaLossFormula = 2,
590        SEAICE_growMeltByConv = .TRUE.,
591        SEAICE_doOpenWaterMelt = .TRUE.,
592      Improve consistency with input.thsice and fix the spurious 500m ice corners
593    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
594      - set Energy Reference Level to liq. water @ 0 degC: temp_EvPrRn=0.,
595        in icedyn (thsice+seaice-dyn) test and update output.
596    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
597      - adjust list of tested variables (with testreport) and update
598        standard test output with better slection of monitored fields.
599    o pkg/cd_code:
600      - swtich off Adams-Bashforth on the 1rst iteration. Update output of
601        experiment lab_sea.hb87
602    o tools/genmake2:
603      - change default makedepend from the system default to tools/xmakedepend:
604        When no makedepend is specified, select tools/xmakedepend it the test pass,
605        otherwise select the system default (if exist and pass the test) or
606        try to build cyrus-makedepend ; stop if none of the 3 works.
607    o pkg/exf & pkg/thsice:
608      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
609        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap. Assumes:
610       1) Rain has same temp as Air.
611       2) Snow has no heat capacity (consistent with seaice & thsice pkgs)
612       3) Run-Off comes at the temp of surface water (with same Cp)
613       4) Evap over ocean is released to the Atmos @ surf-temp (=SST); should be
614        put directly into Latent Heat flux & should use water-vapor heat capacity.
615       5) Evap over snow/seaice (pkg/thsice) assumes constant Lf+Lv (consistent
616        with snow having no Cp) => water vapor is released to Atmos @ 0^oC (=ERL).
617    o pkg/seaice: simplify the use of CPP flags in JFNK-related files
618        (compile when SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK is defined)
619    o pkg/thsice:
620      - fix oceanic flux diagnostics & timeave (left from new sequence of calls
621        implementation): move THSICE_AVE call after the advection (called directly
622        from thsice_do_advect.F).
623    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 and OpenAD:
624      New experiment for OpenAD is identical to the one in input_ad except that
625        multiDimAdvection=.FALSE.,
626      There is still an issue with this.
627    o pkg/thsice:
628      - account for ice velocity (ocean relative velocity) in turbulent heat flux
629        at the base of the ice; update output of global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn)
630        and offline_exf_seaice (main test).
631    
632    checkpoint64f (2013/03/31)
633    o verification/OpenAD:
634      - new (smaller, without OAD_DEBUG) output_oadm.txt generated using gfortran.
635    o verification/isomip, pkg/shelfice and OpenAD:
636      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make shelfice package work with OpenAD
637    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
638      - update AD and TLM output after turning off ALLOW_FE (in DIC_OPTIONS.h)
639    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
640      - replace adjoint experiment (now similar to fwd input.thermo/ setup).
641    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens, pkg/ptracers and OpenAD:
642      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make ptracers package work with OpenAD
643    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F:
644       mask the asymmetric contribution of the ice-ocean stress (when
645       the turningAngle is non-zero) over open water to avoid stripes
646       in the EVP-solutions after many EVP-substeps. This does not change
647       the verification experiment (because turningAngle=0 in that experiment),
648       but will affect other EVP solutions with turningAngle.ne.0
649    o verification, AD & TLM output:
650      - new TAF version 2.3.10 (previously 2.3.8) add more parenthesis in multiple
651        additions and multiplications which affect results at machine truncation
652        level. Update few AD output (1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5,
653        lab_sea.noseaicedyn & offline_exf_seaice) and TLM output
654        (1D_ocean_ice_column & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.som81) which had only 12
655        digits of matching.
656    o pkg/seaice:
657       modify lsr-algorithm so that it vectorizes AND converges by using a
658       "zebra" method: split vector loop into two with step size 2; this
659       solves a general convergence problem for the JFNK solver on a vector
660       computer. It has the potential to even improve convergence for
661       non-vector machines, but it does change the results so it is turned
662       off by default. To turn on define CPP-flags SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and
663       SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
664    
665    checkpoint64e (2013/03/05)
666    o pkg/ecco and several verification experiments:
667       Remove special versions of the_model_main.F, the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F
668       from ecco package, and revert to unified routine in model/src/
669       Adjust verification experiments accordingly, especially gloal_oce_llc90
670       Should conclude long-standing work by Gael to reconsile the_main_loop with
671       ECCO and will enable OpenAD's revolve loop in ECCO setup.
672    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
673      - implement compressible flow method for multi-dim advection (similar to
674        gad_som_advect.F); add new option "GAD_MULTIDIM_COMPRESSIBLE" (since
675        TAF generates many recomputations) to use it; no yet coded with implicit
676        vertical advection.
677      - change experiment advect_cs (new output) and advect_xy (same output)
678        to test compressible flow multi-dim advection.
679    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
680      - fix SOM advection for unusual cases (linear Free-Surf in r*, other
681        cases where linear Free-Surf is not @ k=1, e.g., useShelfIce)
682    o pkg/seaice:
683      - fix bug in the no-slip implementation in seaice_calc_strainrates.F, this
684        bug affects two verification experiments (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87),
685        recover old (wrong) results by setting noSlipFac = 2. in
686        seaice_calc_strainrates.F;
687      - add another averaging method for etaZ (etaZmethod=3), a mix of 2 and 0
688      - add runtime parameter SEAICE_JFNKepsilon for that finite difference
689        gradient in the Jacobian times vector operation (s/r seaice_jacvec)
690      - fix line search in seaice_jfnk.F (s/r seaice_jfnk_update)
691    o pkg/seaice: reorganize seaice_lsr.F to be able to reuse more code:
692      - new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
693      - introduce loop bounds i/jmin/max to be able to use a restricted
694        additive Schwarz method, but not used for now.
695      - rename SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS into SEAICE_LSR_CALC_COEFFS
696      - use new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v in s/r seaice_preconditioner
697    o OpenAD support
698       Reorganize S/R call for overall time-stepping loop to facilitate
699       OpenAD revolve loop replacement
700       (new S/R main_do_loop.F)
701    o model/src:
702      - add 3-D array 3rd dimension to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2/3;
703      - pkg/cheapaml: remove local S/R ADAMS2d and use instead standard S/R
704        ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
705    o pkg/cheapaml:
706      - add new parameter (default=F, same as before) to disable full domain
707        (including land) periodicity in X & Y dir.
708      - new S/R CHEAPAML_COPY_EDGES to copy relaxation field into edges of
709        prognostics field ; merge the 2 S/R cycle_2d_tracer and timestep_2d_tracer
710        into single S/R CHEAPAML_TIMESTEP.
711    
712    checkpoint64d (2013/02/17)
713    o pkg/monitor (angular momentum):
714      - do not add Eta contribution to the total AM if using rigid-lid;
715      - correct for Adams-Bashforth in zonal-wind part (instead of in AM_eta).
716      - horizontal discretisation: compute Zonal wind contribution separately for
717        each component (instead of from cell centered averaged) and use the 4
718        grid-cell corner averaged value of Omega*(R*cos_Phi)^2 in AM_eta part.
719      - Check that AM is conserved with linear dynamics (momAdvection=F and linear
720        FreeSurf) if using vectorInvariant momentum.
721    o model/src (horizontal grid):
722      - move initialisation of all horizontal grid arrays to null value
723        from specific horizontal grid S/R to main S/R INI_GRID;
724      - add 2 new arrays to project model C-grid velocity on to zonal direction
725        (similar to AngleCosC & -AngleSinC but at U and V point location) and
726        compute them in S/R CALC_GRID_ANGLES.
727    o pkg/seaice: replace a hard coded parameter by a runtime parameter
728        SEAICE_JFNK_tolIter
729    o pkg/seaice: introduce a restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) method in
730        preconditioner for JFNK (run LSR into the overlaps as far as possible,
731        i.e OLx/y-2, but overwrite the solution in the overlaps)
732      - extend loop range in seaice_calc_viscosity
733      - add new parameters SEAICE_OLx/y (default = OLx/y-2)
734      - add flexible loop ranges to seaice_preconditioner, seaice_calc_lsr_coeffs
735      - slightly modify loops in tridiagonal solver lsr-preconditioner
736      - by default remove the extra exchange in seaice_preconditioner with a
737        replacement of an undocumented CPP flag by SEAICE_PRECOND_EXTRA_EXCHANGE
738      - modify offline_exf_seaice so that old results without RAS are reproduced
739        for output.dyn_jfnk.txt
740      in seaice_fgmres.F (unrelated to RAS)
741      - add a cpp-flag option for a re-ordered mapping (potentially more
742        efficient), but because this changes the results, turn it off by
743        default
744      - replace the save statement by local common blocks
745    o utils/matlab:
746      - fix tile-offset in rdmnc.m when output was produced using EXCH2.
747      - update cs_grid/bk_line scripts to use load_grid.m (in utils/matlab)
748        instead of local script "load_cs.m".
749    o pkg/seaice:
750      - fix a serious bug in seaice_fgmres.F, s/r seaice_scalprod, connected
751        to the scalarProductMetric and the unrolling. By chance this does not
752        change the verification experiment, because of the particular domain
753        decomposition
754    o pkg/diagnostics:
755      - change default missing_value from UNSET_RL to -999.
756    o pkg/layers: improve vectorization of layers_fluxcalc.F
757      - step 1: split loops, make TatU/V 2D arrays. This alone reduces the cpu
758        time spent in this routine by more than a factor of 3 on an NEC-SX8
759      - step 2: replace search algorithm by a bisection algorithm found in
760        Press et al. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This algorithm can be
761        vectorized and finds the correct bin in approx. log2(Nlayers) steps.
762        For now, use this algorithm only for TARGET_NEC_SX defined.
763      - moved the search algorithm into a separate subroutine, that is kept
764        within the same file for automatic inlining.
765      - modified catching potential errors
766    o pkg/ecco:
767      - add compile switches ALLOW_SHALLOW_ALTIMETRY and ALLOW_HIGHLAT_ALTIMETRY.
768    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk :
769      - modifications for ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
770      -- forward_step.F, the_main_loop.F : pass options and arrays for adjoint tapes.
771      -- load_fields_driver.F : add call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D( myTime, myIter, myThid )
772      -- add xx_gentim2d0/1 in ctrl_ad_check_lev1_dir.h checkpoint_lev1_directives.h etc
773      -- use ctrl_swapffields.F (new) instead of exf_SwapFFields.F in ctrl_get_gen.F
774    o model/src:
775      - account for moist thermodynamics in (dry) potential temperature equation;
776        update results of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs (std + aqualev)
777        and cpl_aim+ocn.
778      - also switch to standard compiler (gfortran, was using ifort previously)
779        for fizhi-cs experiments reference output.
780    o pkg/ctrl:
781      - 1st step toward generic time-varying control variable (2D) via CPP option
782        ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
783      - note new namelist ctrl_nml_genarr in data.ctrl
784    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
785      - switch off OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE (both forward and AD code) to use new
786        thsice calling sequence and update "output.icedyn.txt" output file.
787    o pkg/ptracers:
788      - from Ryan A.: code to allow to restart a tracer at regular time interval
789        specifying a reset frequency and a reset-phase (for each tracers).
790    o pkg/thsice:
791      - implement new sequence of calls for thsice+seaice:
792          previously:   ice-Dyn,ice-Advect,ice-Thermo(thsice)
793          new sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect
794      - allows (with temporary CPP option "#define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE"
795        in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to recover old sequence;
796      - update diagnostics for Intermediate State thsice diagnostics: now filled
797        just before advection (instead of just after advection in old sequence);
798      - update output of experiment offline_exf_seaice (standard test);
799      - in global_ocean.cs32x15 exp., postpone output.icedyn.txt update
800        by setting #define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE in CPP_OPTIONS.h
801    o pkg/aim_v23:
802      - use tiled array for aim_CO2 and surface wind speed for export to coupler;
803      - use standard pkg/mdsio routines to read & write CO2 pickup file;
804      - in-line S/R AIM_AIM2DYN_EXCHANGES in aim_do_physics.F;
805      - Implement new sequence of calls for seaice advection (with thsice and
806        seaice diffusion): do ice advection after ice-Thermodynamic (previously
807        was done before); change aim_do_physics.F (split the bi,bj loops block);
808      - use same CPP option (OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE) to recover old sequence;
809    o pkg/thsice:
810      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
811        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
812    
813    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
814    o pkg/seaice:
815      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
816        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
817      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
818      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
819        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
820      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
821        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
822        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
823        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
824    o pkg/mdsio:
825      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
826        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
827        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
828        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
829    o pkg/exf & thsice:
830      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
831        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
832    o verification/cfc_example:
833      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
834        illustrate how to use it).
835    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
836      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
837        files to only one time-record.
838      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
839        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
840        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
841        surf-current=0.2m/s.
842      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
843        initial conditions).
844    o verification/cfc_example:
845      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
846        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
847        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
848    o pkg/layers:
849      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
850      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
851    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
852      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
853        anywhere else).
854    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
855      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
856      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
857    o model/src:
858      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
859        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
860    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
861      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
862        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
863        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
864        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
865        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
866        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
867        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
868      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
869        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
870        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
871        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
872        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
873        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
874    o pkg/cheapaml:
875      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
876    o pkg/seaice:
877      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
878        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
879    o model/src:
880      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
881        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
882        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
883    o pkg/cheapaml:
884      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
885        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
886      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
887        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
888      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
889      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
890        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
891    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
892      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
893    o pkg/seaice:
894      - remove legacy branch code.
895      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
896    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
897      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
898        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
899    o pkg/cheapaml:
900      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
901        to load new forcing fields.
902      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
903      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
904        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
905    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
906      - add thermodynamics only test.
907    o verification/cheapAML_box:
908      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
909        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
910      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
911        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
912    
913    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
914    o pkg/cheapaml:
915      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
916      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
917        and fix the AB-2 restart.
918    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
919      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
920      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
921      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
922      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
923    o pkg/seaice:
924      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
925        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
926        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
927        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
928    o model/src:
929      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
930        (in case of a poor convergence).
931    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
932      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
933        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
934        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
935        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
936      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
937        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
938        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
939        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
940    o verification/seaice_obcs:
941      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
942        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
943    o model/src:
944      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
945    o pkg/seaice:
946      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
947        cleaning up the code
948      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
949        second argument
950      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
951        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
952      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
953    o pkg/aim_v23:
954      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
955    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
956      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
957        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
958        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
959            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
960      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
961        default: not compiled and not used.
962    o pkg/seaice:
963      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
964        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
965        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
966      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
967      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
968      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
969    o verification:
970      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
971        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
972        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
973        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
974        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
975      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
976    o pkg/exf:
977      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
978    o verification:
979      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
980        to test pkg/cheapaml.
981    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
982      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
983    o pkg/seaice:
984      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
985      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
986    o eesupp/src:
987       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
988    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
989       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
990         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
991       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
992         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
993         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
994         undocumented ifdefs
995       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
996    o tools/genmake2:
997      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
998        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
999    
1000    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
1001    o pkg/autodiff:
1002      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
1003        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
1004        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
1005        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
1006        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
1007    o pkg/obcs:
1008      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
1009        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
1010    o pkg/seaice:
1011      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
1012        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
1013      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
1014    o pkg/aim_v23:
1015      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
1016    o pkg/shap_filt:
1017      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
1018        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
1019    o model/src:
1020      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
1021        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
1022      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
1023        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
1024        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
1025        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
1026    o pkg/seaice:
1027      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
1028        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
1029        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
1030        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
1031        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
1032      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
1033      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
1034        + introduce global field etaZ
1035        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
1036          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
1037        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
1038          seaice_preconditioner
1039      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
1040      - seaice_preconditioner:
1041        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
1042        + adjust printing of residuals
1043      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
1044        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
1045          seaice_init_fixed.F)
1046        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
1047        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
1048          interval to STDOUT
1049      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
1050        some operations
1051      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
1052        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
1053        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
1054      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
1055        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
1056    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
1057      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
1058      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
1059    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
1060    o pkg/autodiff
1061      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
1062        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
1063        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
1064    o pkg/seaice
1065      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
1066        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
1067        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
1068        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
1069        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
1070        code is not complete yet!!
1071      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
1072    o verification (using seaice):
1073      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
1074        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
1075      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
1076      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
1077        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
1078    o pkg/exf:
1079      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
1080        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
1081        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
1082    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1083      - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
1084        this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
1085    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1086      - remove ALLOW_LAYERS_OUTPUT ; fix snap-shot and time-ave output ;
1087      - snap-shot extended to all type of layers (not just the 1rst type);
1088      - remove layers variables when corresponding CPP option is undef.
1089    o pkg/layers:
1090      - rename pkg/layers variable and add new output (layer exist & un-weighted
1091        velocity in layer)
1092    o pkg/seaice:
1093      - simplify (?) ocean-drag coefficent computations by using
1094        the same routine in all three solvers (saves some code lines)
1095      - remove global fields DRAGA and DRAGS from C-grid code and
1096        declare them locally in lsr.F (the only place where they are
1097        still used)
1098      - update AD output of lab_sea.evp (very sensitive anyway).
1099    o pkg/seaice: add Jacobian-free Newton Krylov solver for ice dynamics
1100      (Lemieux et al. 2010, 2012). Turn on with the usual SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK
1101      and SEAICEuseJFNK=.true. A few things to note:
1102      - involves a FGMRES, that is parallel but very inefficient,
1103        because of many scalar products (global sums) in the Gram-Schmidt
1104        orthogonalization method. Needs to be replaced. Original code
1105        from J.-F. Lemieux
1106      - preconditioner for FGMRES is a stripped down version of LSOR
1107      - SOLV_MAX_ITERS is now used for LSOR as a solver and as a
1108        preconditioner. For the preconditioner, the default is set to 10.
1109      - Jacobian times vector is computed with finite differences
1110      - marginally related to JFNK-solver: add a smooth regularization for
1111        zeta with tanh that will improve convergence (Lemieux and Tremblay,
1112        2009) for any implicit solver (not implemented for EVP because EVP
1113        does not need this regularization in the first place). Define
1114        SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to use.
1115    o eesupp/src:
1116      - check in genmake2 that intrinsic S/R flush is available.
1117      - add S/R to flush IO unit (if intrinsic S/R flush is available)
1118      - flush standard & error msg unit before MPI termination
1119      - if debugMode, flush IO unit after printing msg
1120    o pkg/ctrl:
1121      - ctrl_unpack.F, ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL code: fix missing argument in call
1122        to ctrl_set_unpack_xyz.
1123    
1124    checkpoint64 (2012/10/09)
1125    o pkg/shelfice
1126      - in mom_fluxform.F, mom_vecinv.F:
1127        CALL SHELFICE_V_DRAG(bi,bj,k,vFld,KE,KappaRU,vF,myThid)
1128        Bug fix KappaRU -> KappaRV
1129        does not change verification/isomip but may change other setups
1130        (presumably constant KappaRU=KappaRV)
1131      - fix diagnostics SHIU/Vdrag (thanks to Tom Millgate)
1132    o pkg/obcs:
1133      - fixed some indexing bugs in obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1134      - added obcs relaxation subroutines for HSALT and HSNOW
1135      - changes verification/seaice_obcs/results/obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1136    o pkg/seaice:
1137      - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,
1138        default is off for now.
1139    o pkg/obcs:
1140      - added obcs_seaice_sponge.F for obcs relaxation of seaice variables;
1141        see verification/seaice_obcs/input.seaiceSponge for example application.
1142      - remove local commom bloc "OBCS_GLOBAL" in obcs_readparms.F and do all the OB
1143        index setting by master-thread. This fix multi-threads Pb in previous modifs.
1144    o pkg/layers :
1145      - add diagnostics to pkg/layers
1146      - move the meat of pkg/layers from layers_calc.F to layers_fluxcalc.F
1147        (from R.Tulloch). Layers_calc.F now calls layers_fluxcalc.F accordingly.
1148    o pkg/generic_advdiff/gad_implicit_r.F :
1149      - fix ADVr diagnostics in case of both implicit vertical advection and diffusion.
1150    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1151      - fix SItflux diagnostics in virtual salt flux + balanceEmpmr case.
1152    o pkg/obcs:
1153      - change default setting of OBCS_UVICE_OLD from defined to undef;
1154      - use new parameter OB_indexNone for null index value (instead of hard-coded 0)
1155        in all pkg/obcs code and in other pkgs; remove k loop in obcs_check_depths.F;
1156      - pass OB_indexNone as (new) argument to S/R CTRL_MASK_SET_[X,Y]Z;
1157      - change OB null index value (OB_indexNone) to -99 ; this fix the problem
1158        with Southern & Western OB at a tile edge (at least in a simple set-up).
1159    o pkg/obcs:
1160      - change settings of OB index in case OB coincides with tile edge (shared by
1161        2 tiles), so that common OB location is registered by both tiles (instead of
1162        only 1). However, for Southern and Western OB, index value = 0 is not
1163        recognized as valid OB index (=default null value) and needs to be fixed.
1164      - modify accordingly OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW and OBCS_MONITOR (avoid double counting)
1165      - new parameter "OB_indexNone" for null index value (for now, still zero)
1166        to replace hard-coded null index value of zero.
1167    o pkg/exch2:
1168      - improve W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE (faster) and W2_E2_DEBUG_ON:
1169        always check buffer-size (but outside the loop); move checking for valid
1170        index from W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE to W2_E2_DEBUG_ON; in W2_E2_DEBUG_ON,
1171        print each tile and point connection only if |W2_printMsg|>= 2 and 3.
1172    o pkg/ctrl (pack & unpack):
1173      - in ctrl_pack.F & ctrl_unpack.F, use the same local file-name variable
1174        (locally defined) for different variables (+ remove the variable-specific
1175        file name in CTRL_GENARR.h). For now, only implemented for GENARR2/3D_CONTROL
1176        (to be extended to other local file names in ctrl.h).
1177    o pkg/flt:
1178      - add a FLT_Iter0 option (similar to PTRACERS_Iter0).
1179    o pkg/mdsio:
1180      - fix missing STOP in mdsio_readvec_loc.F (case ioUnit=0) when file is missing
1181    o tools/genmake2:
1182      - add similar dependences for target EXE_AD & EXE_FTL as we have for EXECUTABLE
1183        (added by Alistair in version 1.51 for building without make depend);
1184      - remove Header files list (H_SRC_FILES) from the dependence of targets
1185         ad_input_code.f & ftl_input_code.f (not clear why it was added in the first
1186        place in version 1.23): this save going through staf when unrelated header
1187        file has been modified.
1188       Note: for an intermediate target (e.g., ad_input_code.f or adtaf) without
1189        "make depend" step, still need to do "make links" before "make adtaf".
1190    o eesupp/src (+ few pkg src files) & genmake2:
1191      - finish to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see;
1192      - no longer set ALWAYS_USE_MPI in Makefile (was done by genmake2).
1193      - improve genmake2 checking for ALLOW_${PKG} in CPP_OPTIONS.h files (distinguish
1194         upper/lower case ; account for space between "#" and undef/define)
1195    o pkg/flt (with exch2):
1196      - cleaning: fix so that it compiles; move remaining MPI calls out of flt_exch2.F;
1197      - simplify threads synchronisation; fix (many issues) multi-threaded with MPI.
1198    
1199    checkpoint63s (2012/09/05)
1200    o pkg/ecco:
1201      - remove #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D brackets.
1202      - add more relevant #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH ones.
1203      - sort out useAtmWind, useSMOOTH, ctrlSmoothCorrel2D.
1204    o pkg/ctrl:
1205      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h : document CPPs related to smoothing; ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D,
1206        ALLOW_CTRL_SMOOTH, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL2D, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL3D.
1207      - ctrl.h : document run time params doInitXX, doMainPack, doMainUnpack, doPackDiag,
1208        doSinglePrecTapelev (audodiff param!), ctrlSmoothCorrel2D (new) and
1209        ctrlSmoothCorrel3D (new).
1210        The added ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D replace the old ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D CPP.
1211      - ctrl_readparms.F : initialise ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D and read from namelist.
1212      - ctrl_init.F ctrl_pack.F ctrl_unpack.F : switch off ustress/vstress
1213        controls when useAtmWind, and vice versa.
1214      - ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F : UVEL0, VVEL0, edtaux, edtauy cannot be smoothed as tracers.
1215      - ctrl_get_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D with
1216          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel2D, IF useSMOOTH.
1217      - ctrl_map_ini_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D with
1218          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel3D, IF useSMOOTH.
1219      - ctrl_set_pack_xy[z].F, ctrl_set_unpack_xy[z].F:
1220        replace ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D brackets with ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D.
1221    o pkg/smooth:
1222      - remove un-necessary includes.
1223      - remove ALLOW_SMOOTH*D and ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL*D brakets.
1224        Those CPP options were never defined, and not necessary.
1225    o model/src:
1226      - fix CPP brackets in ini_mixing.F (GM_background_K belongs to gmredi).
1227      - standard treatment of useSMOOTH.
1228    o pkg/autodiff:
1229      - add LOGICAL useGGL90inAdMode, useGGL90inFwdMode, useSALT_PLUMEinAdMode,
1230        useSALT_PLUMEInFwdMode allowing to switch off ggl90 and salt_plume adjoint.
1231    o pkg/exch2:
1232      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (in exch2_rx?_cube*.template)
1233        + start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see.
1234      - make new S/R W2_MAP_PROCS out of w2_eeboot.F to setup exch2 CommonFlag
1235        and tiles to process mapping.
1236      - re-arrange 3 header files (W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h, _BUFFER.h & _TOPOLOGY.h)
1237        moving /EXCH2_FILLVAL_RX/ & /W2_EXCH2_COMMFLAG/ to W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h;
1238        rename "exch2_tProc" to "W2_tileProc" and move seting of e2FillValue_RX
1239        from w2_eeboot.F to w2_readparms.F.
1240    o eesupp/src:
1241      - set exchNeedsMemsync & exchUsesBarrier according to "usingMPI" (instead of
1242        ALWAYS_USE_MPI) + moved from ini_communication_patterns.F to eeset_parms.F;
1243        also move setting of exchCollectStatistics from exch_init.F to eeset_parms.F
1244      - in eedie.F and all_proc_die.F, always call MPI_FINALIZE when ALLOW_USE_MPI
1245        is defined (remove condition on usingMPI) to match cases where MPI_INIT
1246        has been called.
1247      - fix bug I put in previous modif of exch_sm_3d_rx.template (not much used);
1248      - change default (non-MPI) value of myPid (from 1 to 0) to match MPI settings
1249        (so that on 1 proc, get same myPid independently of usingMPI)
1250      - add a stop if multi-procs but usingMPI=F ; stop also if usingMPI=T and
1251        useCubedSphereExchange with EXCH-1 (safer).
1252      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (+ start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI).
1253    o pkg/ggl90:
1254      - fix bug in filling corner mask array "mskCor" (FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL call)
1255        used in ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH code.
1256    o pkg/flt:
1257      - fix typo in FLT_WITHOUT_Y_PERIODICITY (the effect was to ignore stopping
1258        floats at the Southern end of the domain).
1259    o eesupp/inc:
1260      - add a list of CPP-options which can be set by Makefile (DEF_IN_MAKEFILE.h);
1261        but not used (and not to be used) anywhere, just for documentation.
1262    o pkg/autodiff, exf, ptracers & seaice (AD & TL output):
1263      - comment out the very nasty "writeBinaryPrec = writeStatePrec" line, since:
1264        a) can damage previously written records in any other multi-record files.
1265        b) if needed, can easily do it cleanly, by calling S/R WRITE_REC_3D_RL/S.
1266    o tools/genmake2:
1267      - define variable MAKE within Makefile and use it in place of 'make';
1268      - update AD_CONFIG.h (if needed) before building any of the executable
1269        (forward, adjoint or tangent-lin); this involves a 2nd invocation of make;
1270        and add the usual #ifndef/#define AD_CONFIG_H in AD_CONFIG.h;
1271      - always print usual warning comment 'this file is automatically generated'
1272        from script convert_cpp_cmd2defines (+ remove this warning from genmake2).
1273    o pkg/cheapaml:
1274      - updated to correspond to the code used in accepted paper (Nico Wienders).
1275    o pkg/exf:
1276        added run time switch useAtmWind to replace ALLOW_ATM_WIND cpp switch.
1277        ALLOW_ATM_WIND now just sets the useAtmWind default (see exf_readparms.F)
1278        and force defines ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE (EXF_OPTIONS.h).
1279    o pkg/exf, autodiff, ctrl, ecco and seaice:
1280        remove ALLOW_ATM_WIND brackets, or replace them with useAtmWind ones.
1281    o pkg/ctrl, ecco:
1282        allow to compile both ALLOW_U/VSTRESS_CONTROL and ALLOW_U/VWIND_CONTROL.
1283        Depending on useAtmWind, one is inactive, and the other is active (see
1284        exf_getffields.F/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F).
1285    o tools/genmake2:
1286      - improve error msg when failing in 2nd test of check_for_broken_Ff
1287      - fix option '-makefile' short-name (-mf according to genmake2 -help)
1288      - source local config file "genmake_local" just after processing the genmake2
1289        command arguments (previously done before processing arg).
1290    o pkg/grdchk:
1291      - add a call to TURNOFF_MODEL_IO for Tangent-Linear run (in this case, call
1292        to this routine from cost_final has been dropped in g_cost_final)
1293      - improve printed information (more explicit msg, no longer using "print *,"
1294         fix fcpertminus printed value).
1295    o model/src:
1296      - move call to COST_INIT_VARIA out of packages_init_variables.F directly
1297        into initialise_varia.F (just after calling PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES):
1298        this prevents getting cost-funct reset in adinitialise_varia recomputations.
1299    o pkg/dic:
1300      - move initialisation of "freefe" array from from dic_biotic_forcing.F to
1301        fe_chem.F: this prevents TAF from dropping this initialisation in TLM code.
1302    o pkg/grdchk:
1303      - grdchk_main.F : added CALL GLOBAL_SUM_INT( ierr , myThid )
1304      - grdchk_getadxx.F etc. : omit I/O if ierr.EQ.0
1305    o pkg/autodiff/ctrl/grdchk :
1306      - attempt to sort out what works and what does not,
1307        with regard to I/O, and to warn/stop accordingly.
1308    o pkg/grdchk:
1309      - attempt to fix grdchk in the case of useSingleCpuIO.
1310      - "if ( myProcId .EQ. grdchkwhichproc .AND. ierr .EQ. 0 )"
1311       statements were moved from grdchk_main.F and into
1312       grdchk_getadxx.F grdchk_getxx.F grdchk_setxx.F.
1313      - a global sum is applied to record numbers icvrec/layer
1314       out of grdchk_loc so that they be passed to I/O routines.
1315    o pkg/smooth:
1316      - fix recomputation that appeared with nlfs : use smooth_recip_hFacC,
1317        smooth_hFacW, smooth_hFacS (copied at init_fixed) in 3d case.
1318    o verification/testreport:
1319      - add option '-tlm' for Tangent-Linear test (-adm,-oad,-tlm are all exclusive);
1320      - can also use compressed (gzip) reference output file;
1321      - change format (in pkg/grdchk) of TLM output (+ add forward gradient)
1322        to be easier to collect by testreport.
1323      - update existing TLM output (half out-of-date by more than 3 yrs).
1324      - report NETCDF & LAPACK settings (from genmake2) in output dir.
1325      - report run-time in each individual summary (previously only for AD test);
1326        for TLM test, add also TAF version.
1327      - add daily TLM test on (old) aces cluster + weekly test on baudelaire.

1330    o tools/genmake2:
1331      - fix Makefile for target ftlall (+ update files to clean after make ftlall)
1332    o pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F :
1333      - fix fc print statements (to stdout and costfunction0000) so
1334        that the printed value is always after the global sum.
1335    o pkg/seaice/seaice_dynsolver.F :
1336      - fix ice strength assymptote at SEAICE_area_max<1
1337        (no change for the standard case of SEAICE_area_max=1)
1338    o some cleaning:
1339      - pkg source files: ensure that all *.F files from each pkg included the
1340        corresponding ${PKG}_OPTIONS.h file (except stand-alone src file which
1341        only includes CPP_EEOPTIONS.h); fix S/R CTRL_SMOOTH ; update AD experiment
1342        code_ad/*.F src files; add new option-file in pkg/admtlm + corresponding
1343        includes;
1344      - model/src: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h wherever ALLOW_AUTODIFF[_TAMC] is used.
1345      - ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL: add a stop in S/R CTRL_CHECK in case ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
1346        is undef; also define /DYNVARS_DIFFKR/ common block in DYNVARS.h when
1347        ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL is defined, to allow to compile and reach this stop.
1348      - update option-file CPP_OPTIONS.h of all AD experiments:
1349        * no longer include PACKAGES_CONFIG.h ;
1350        * includes ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h if PACKAGES_CONFIG.h has been included ;
1351        * def/undef ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR independently of ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL (before
1352          including ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h).
1353    o pkg/cost, pkg/ctrl, pkg/ecco option-file:
1354      - clean-up and split content of old pkg/ecco/ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h file into
1355        separated pkg option-file (done according to old doc from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h,
1356        not necessary accurate).
1357      - add a template for option-file ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h, mostly empty, in
1358        pkg/autodiff, i.e., the 1rst pkg to compile for adjoint built, with lines to
1359        deliberately break compilation (a remainder that it needs to be customized)
1360      - in pkg/ecco, includes ECCO_OPTIONS.h instead of COST_OPTIONS.h
1361      - rename COST_CPPOPTIONS.h to COST_OPTIONS.h
1362      - rename CTRL_CPPOPTIONS.h to CTRL_OPTIONS.h
1363    o tools/genamke2:
1364      - check for lapack.
1365    o pkg/cost and pkg/ecco : attempt to sort out some of the limiting intricacies.
1366      - pkg/cost.cost_final.F : allow for use of pkg/ecco and pkg/cost cost functions
1367        jointly. The exclusive ifdefs were removed, to add costs terms (when defined)
1368        from both packages.
1369      - the fc global sum in pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F was removed accordingly.
1370      - for objf_atl we use either the pkg/ecco or the pkg/cost term depending on CPPs.
1371      - pkg/ecco and model/src : add CPP brackets around pkg/cost and pkg/ctrl includes
1372        of "CTRL_SIZE.h" "ctrl.h" "ctrl_dummy.h" "optim.h" / "cost.h" accordingly.
1373    o pkg/cost : add comments to explain special and/or untested setups.
1374    o pkg/exf:
1375      - use EXF_OPTIONS.h to set pkg/exf options except if done in ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h
1376        (previously, ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC was controling this switch).
1377    o verification/*/code_ad:
1378      mimimal cleaning of AD experiments ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h option-file:
1379      - reccord when this file is included (define ECCO_CPPOPTIONS_H)
1380      - remove the most obvious obsolete features (e.g., #define ALLOW_COST not
1381        allowed since Oct 2003 in any option-file except in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h)
1382    o pkg/seaice :
1383      - added possibility to change ice strength/PRESS0 relationship to
1384        HEFF, according to the following run time parameters
1385        SEAICEpresPow0 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength below SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
1386        SEAICEpresPow1 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength above SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
1387        SEAICEpresH0   :: HEFF threshold for ice strength            (m)
1388    o pkg/ggl90 :
1389      - added run time flag mxlSurfFlag to include the code that ensure
1390        mixing between first and second level (previously included as a comment)
1391    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/input_ad/data.autodiff :
1392      - add test of newly added dumpAdByRec=T option where
1393        we write all records to one file per variable.
1394    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/code_ad/CPP_OPTIONS.h :
1395      - switch to #define ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX and ALLOW_BALANCE_FLUXES
1396        to check that this code is ok with taf and compiles in adjoint.
1397    o pkg/autodiff :
1398      - added run time param dumpAdByRec : ad dump format switch.
1399        If true then write all records to one file per variable.
1400        Else write one file per record (remains the default).
1401      - revise seaice_ad_dump.F and exf_adjoint_snapshots_ad.F accordingly.
1402    o pkg/seaice:
1403     - Added SEAICEuseTILT run time switch : if set to
1404       false then omit the tilt term in seaice dynamics.
1405     - Fix free drift calculation.
1406    o pkg/shelfice:
1407      When initializing SHELFICEDragQuadratic, set default to be
1408      consistent with shiCdrag in case SHELFICEuseGammaFrict is used,
1409      but retain option to set it independently
1410      (inconsistenty spotted by Veronique Dansereau)
1411    o eesupp/inc:
1412      - in EEPARAMS.h, add real-type constant for some frequently used simple number
1413         (0,1,2,1/2), with name explicitly referring to RS/RL type.
1414    o model/src:
1415      - move balancing of relaxation terms to new S/R balance_relax.F.
1416    o pkg/autodiff:
1417      re-write active I/O high-level (control) S/R:
1418      - rename  S/R ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_RL to ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_3D_RL
1419      - add 1 more argument (useCurrentDir) to replace the "_LOC" 2nd set of S/R.
1420      - use standard pkg/mdsio I/O routines (MDS_READ/WRITE_SEC_XZ/YZ  and
1421        MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD); change loops to multi-threads.
1422      - update and merge active_file_control_slice.flow into active_file_control.flow
1423      - update the calls in lower level S/R (active_file.F, active_file_g.F and
1424        active_file_ad.F) keeping the argument list and function unchanged.
1425      - also update lower-level "_LOC" version (call same S/R with "useCurrentDir
1426        =.TRUE.") and remove high-level (control) _loc version (not called anymore).
1427      - new low-level active I/O routines, one for each type (RL/RS), for active var
1428        of various (XY,XZ,YZ) shape and level number (arguments: arrShape, myNr);
1429        fix ctrl_init_wet.F & ecco_cost_weights.F by calling the new S/R with the
1430        right type.
1431    o autodiff and RS=real*4:
1432      - call the right type (_RS instead of _RL) of S/R in few output S/R (pkg/exf
1433        ad-monitor and snapshots); disable arrType='RS' in mdsio_gl*.F ;
1434      - change argument type of 3-D mask argument to _RS to match type in the call
1435        (in seaice_cost*.F, ctrl_*_gen.F and *ctrl_bound.F); to be continued.
1436    o pkg/thsice:
1437      - re-anable balanceEmPmR when useSEAICE=T with useThSIce=T.
1438      - option to correct ocean fresh-water flux for imbalance of Atmos+Land
1439        fresh-water flux: uniform correction or proportional to local precip.
1440    o pkg/ctrl:
1441      - new header file CTRL_SIZE.h for parameters maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D
1442      - redefine CPP option ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL to
1443                            ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL_NONGENERIC
1444      - verification/hs94.1x64x5/ tests ALLOW_GENARR{2D,3D}_CONTROL
1445    
1446    checkpoint63q (2012/07/30)
1447    o pkg/autodiff:
1448      note about monitor and snap-shot of ad-variables:
1449      a) need to apply ADEXCH before monitor or output of ad-vars to include
1450       overlap contributions (was done for adjDump but missing for monitor).
1451      b) since ADEXCH implies adding overlap values to interior array, machine
1452       truncation error is expected when adding an ADEXCH call in the middle of
1453       the time-stepping (although mathematically identical).
1454      modifs:
1455      - fix some incorrect type (RL/RS, UV/scalar) in ADEXCH calls and ad-vars
1456        declaration (adEddyPsiX,adEddyPsiY in adcommon.h).
1457      - add new run-time params (dumpAdVarExch & mon_AdVarExch) to select how  to
1458        apply ADEXCH before monitor or snap-shot of ad-variables:
1459           =0 : no ADEXCH ; =1 : do ADEXCH ; =2 : apply ADEXCH on a local copy.
1460      - implement new method (copy+adexch) for snap-shot and monitor of main model
1461        ad-vars (initially not used by default -> output unchanged).
1462      - change default (set to 2) to use new method and update few output_adm.txt
1463        with accurate ad-monitor (global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
1464        and both tutorial_tracer_adjsens tests).
1465      - switch 2 global_ocean.cs32x15 AD-tests to AB-2 (seaice_dynmix & thsice)
1466        and turn off momDissip_In_AB in the 2 other (needed for stable AB-3).
1467    o pkg/ctrl:
1468      enable the use of a variable number (maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D) of
1469      generic control variables via
1470      #define ALLOW_GENARR2D_CONTROL and/or #define ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL
1471      Only required customization should be S/R ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F
1472      (routine in repository contains example)
1473    o pkg/exf:
1474      - fix and refine checking of surface-relaxation setting when using EXF
1475    o verification (adjoint exp):
1476      - reduce length of simulation by half for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15
1477        (std, seaice & seaice_dynmix) and exp tutorial_dic_adjoffline; update output.
1478    o pkg/mom_common (mom_u/v_bottomdrag), pkg/shelfice (shelfice_u/v_drag)
1479      - replace if statements KE.ne.0 with KE.gt.0 to avoid sqrt of negative numbers
1480        of KE that can occur with aggressive optimization
1481      + put quadratic bottom drag calculation in separated loops (only done if
1482        using bottomDragQuadratic)
1483    o model/src: CG2D_NSA
1484      - clean-up:  stop if cg2dNormaliseRHS=T and AUTODIFF
1485         and replace GLOBAL_SUM calls with GLOBAL_SUM_TILE.
1486      - in test-exp that uses CG2D_NSA (bottom_ctrl & tutorial_tracer_adjsens),
1487         change cg2d residual target to be expressed in Wunits (=> do not normalise
1488         RHS ; this fix global_max Pb with TAF); update output.
1489    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
1490       improve parameter consistency (and get rid of warnings):
1491       - use deltaTFreeSurf=deltaTtracer (better with NonLin FreeSurf);
1492       - switch Temp Adv Scheme from 81 to 80 (no limiter since theta < 0 is physical)
1493       - use staggerTimeStep (for stability) in som81; use default rotation period.
1494    o pkg/exch2:
1495      - with empty facet: fix compact-format (W2_mapIO=1) definition (was previously
1496        reset to 0 = 1 long line in X)
1497    o pkg/mdsio:
1498      - fix reading of dimensions from meta file for large-size domain
1499    o model/src:
1500      - fix saltIsActiveTr setting for IdealGas eosType (eosType is 6 character long);
1501      - to refine CS-grid check, add logical flag "hasWetCSCorners": true if using
1502        Cubed-Sphere Exch with CS-corners inside the domain;
1503        make new S/R INI_GLOBAL_DOMAIN from code in ini_linear_phisurf.F to calculate
1504        globalArea and to set hasWetCSCorners.
1505      - add warning if usingCurvilinearGrid and momAdvection in flux-form (missing
1506        metric terms); stop if hasWetCSCorners=T and momAdvection in flux-form.
1507      - re-activate the stop if useCDscheme and hasWetCSCorners=T (previously if
1508        useCDscheme and useCubedSphereExchange).
1509    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F :
1510      - compute the SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX term accordingly
1511        for the (.NOT.useRealFreshWaterFlux).OR.(nonlinFreeSurf.EQ.0)
1512        when the previous code was not correct.
1513      - in all cases diagnoze the boundary condition mismatch to SIaaflux
1514      - in the case of useRealFreshWaterFlux.AND.(nonlinFreeSurf.GT.0) add
1515        that term to QNET (essentially to set the melt/freeze water to 0degC).
1516        when SEAICEheatConsFix is true, so that the ocean+ice budget heat is closed.
1517    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice :
1518      - add SEAICEheatConsFix in data.seaice, ensuring closed ocean+ice heat budget.
1519      - add diagnostics (commented out) for budget test using my matlab codes (gcmfaces).
1520      - update results (output.seaice.txt) accordingly.
1521    o verification/lab_sea/input/data.seaice :
1522      - remove SEAICEheatConsFix, which is now be tested
1523        in global_ocean.cs32x15. The presently coded fix
1524        is only consistent with real fresh water + nlfs.
1525      - update results (output.txt) accordingly.
1526    o pkg/salt_plume: added diagnotic for salt tendency (oceSPtnd).
1527    o AD_CONFIG.h file:
1528      - in genmake2: remove "#undef ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION" from AD_CONFIG.h;
1529      - remove #include "AD_CONFIG.h" from all included OPTIONS files and
1530        add it explicitly in each fortran src file where it is needed.
1531        motivation: header file AD_CONFIG.h is generated/modified after "make depend"
1532        thus introducing potentially wrong dependency; therefore, better to include
1533        it only where it's really needed, and after any other included OPTIONS file
1534        (less tempting to bring conditional includes according to ALLOW_ADJOINT_RUN
1535        or ALLOW_TANGENTLINEAR_RUN).
1536    
1537    checkpoint63p (2012/07/06)
1538    o pkg/autodiff:
1539      - rename S/R INI_AUTODIFF to AUTODIFF_INIT_VARIA ;
1540      - create new header file "AUTODIFF_PARAMS.h" for pkg/autodiff parameters
1541        which are now read from new parameter file "data.autodiff" (inAdExact
1542        previously in "data", use{KPP/GMRedi/SEAICE}inAdMode previously in data.pkg)
1543      - add file "data.autodiff" in all verification/*/input_ad/ directories.
1544      - add run-time parameter to turn On/Off SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT in adjoint/forward
1545        mode (used in global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix test exp.)
1546    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
1547      - add extra sub-verification which uses "SOM" advection scheme
1548        (2nd Order-Moment Advection Scheme, Prather Limiter) with
1549          #define GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV in GAD_OPTIONS.h
1550        and in data:
1551          multiDimAdvection=.TRUE.,
1552          tempAdvScheme=81,
1553          saltAdvScheme=81,
1554    o model/src:
1555      - introduce ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX which allow the removal
1556       of the global mean of relaxation terms by setting
1557       balanceThetaClimRelax and balanceSaltClimRelax
1558      - disable balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet in the case when useSeaice.
1559       This case is now treated appropriately in seaice_growth.F
1560    o pkg/seaice:
1561      - do balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet based on the net fluxes
1562        (SItflux) that enter the ocean+ice system rather than QNET
1563        and EMPMR. Works best in real fresh water.
1564      - SIatmFW, SIatmQnet, and SItflux computations had to be moved
1565        out of the diagnotics bloc, and stored in global arrays.
1566    
1567    checkpoint63o (2012/06/29)
1568    o vertical mixing schemes:
1569      - remove unused S/R CALC_BUOYANCY (left from branch-atmos merging)
1570      - replace computation of density (in Function STATE1, opps_calc.F) by a call
1571        to S/R FIND_RHO_SCALAR
1572      - pass sigmaR to S/R PP81_CALC, MY82_CALC (but not yet used) and to GGL90_CALC
1573        and use it for N^2 calculation in ggl90_calc.F (save 2 density computations);
1574        affects output (vermix.ggl90) at truncation level.
1575    o testreport:
1576      - change adjustment of SIZE.h for mpi+mth testing: preserve enough tiles
1577        (nSx,nSy) for the number of threads (from eedata.mth)
1578    o model/src:
1579      - remove 2nd set of calls at the top of initialise_varia.F (Adjoint part)
1580        related to Non_Lin Free-Surf or Bottom-Control (but not longer necessary).
1581    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
1582      - compile with ALLOW_CG2D_NSA
1583      - run with nonlinFreeSurf=3
1584      - update reference output_adm.txt
1585    o tools/genmake2:
1586      - add "-DHAVE_NETCDF" to the DEFINES list when NetCDF is available ;
1587        refine usePROFILES switching off (only when NetCDF is not available).
1588    o verification (atmospheric set-up):
1589      - change eosType='IDEALGAS' to eosType='IDEALG' to match variable declaration
1590    o pkg/profiles : refine profiles and files handling.
1591    o model/src and pkg/ecco : introduce run-time switch usePROFILES.
1592    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F and pkg/exf/EXF_OPTIONS.h :
1593      - changes to use model/src/the_main_loop.F rather than the ecco version
1594        in ecco type adjoint runs.
1595    o model/src:
1596      - move computation of recip of grid distance & area from INI_MASKS_ETC to INI_GRID
1597      - move setting of h0Fac[C,W,S] from INI_LINEAR_PHISURF to INI_MASKS_ETC
1598      - update_masks_etc.F: rename SMOOTH*_R4,R8 function to the corresponding type (RS,RL)
1599    o model/src:
1600      - fix S/R UPDATE_CG2D for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL case (was empty before);
1601        update output of test experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5.
1602    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1603      - implement vertical bi-harmonic diffusion (for now, only for T & S and
1604        only explicitly).
1605    o verification/bottom_ctrl_5x5/
1606      update reference output (results changed quite some time ago,
1607      not sure when; but new reference results look ok in terms of grdchk)
1608    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/
1609      For verification purposes, the exact adjoint rather than an approx.
1610      should be used (e.g., to comare against F.D. or TLM).
1611      removed autodiff_inadmode*_ad.F routines in code_ad/
1612      Update results/ accordingly.
1613    o pkg/cal:
1614      - change cal_getdate.F so that output date is function of input time only
1615        (less ambiguous, not mixed up with input iteration number).
1616      - fix calendarDumps for non-zero phase-lag (S/R CAL_TIME2DUMP).
1617    o pkg/diagnostics:
1618      - implement calendarDumps also for stats-diags
1619      - implement calendarDumps also for snap-shot output (negative freq)
1620      - for now, ignores calendarDumps if non-zero phase-lag.
1621    
1622    checkpoint63n (2012/06/04)
1623    o model/src:
1624      - recompute rSurfW & S to ensure consistent column thickness (needed for rStar)
1625        between Sum_k(hFac*drF) and rSurf-rLow, for now only when using pkg/shelfice;
1626      - use h0FacC, W & S to compute hFac_surfC, W & S in calc_surf_dr.F (more
1627        similar to calc_r_star.F); update results of experiment internal_wave and
1628        tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
1629    o pkg/shelfice:
1630      - add parameterisation of advective-diffusive flux into the ice shelf
1631        according to Holland and Jenkins (1999), eq.22-33, as suggested by Jan De Ryd
1632      - simply eps3/3a computation
1633    o eesupp:
1634     - add new CPP option (DISCONNECTED_TILES) to disconnect tiles (no exchange
1635       between tiles, just fill-in edges assuming locally periodic subdomain) and
1636       add corresponding exchange subroutines (EXCH0);
1637     - new CG-solver version (_EX0) for disconnected-tiles special case.
1638    o model/src (CG-solvers):
1639     - modify Single-Reduction version (CG2D_SR) in case cg2dMaxIters is reached
1640       (similar final residual output and max-Iter number as with standard version);
1641     - allows to store and use lowest-residual solution (standard & _SR versions);
1642     - cleaning up (remove old, commented out code, LETS_MAKE_JAM ...).
1643     - by default, also compile CG2D_SR version (define ALLOW_SRCG in CPP_OPTIONS.h)
1644    o eesup/src:
1645     - global_vec_sum.F cleaning: add a BARRIER ; update comments ; remove ndef
1646       ALWAYS_USE_MPI (no longer needed after fixing usingMPI settings - March 2012)
1647    o pkg/salt_plume added to lab_sea/input_ad.noseaicedyn
1648    
1649    checkpoint63m (2012/04/27)
1650    o pkg/shelfice:
1651     - account for partical cells in surface level below ice-shelf for hydrostatic
1652       pressure calculion (set uniformFreeSurfLev to F); update isomip experiments.
1653    o ad test experiments:
1654     - update and rename to "ad_optfile.local" local AD-optfile specific to a
1655       particular adjoint verification experiment (in verification/*/code_ad/)
1656    o pkg/seaice & pkg/exf:
1657     - Part two of ECCO-CLIVAR code merges.
1658       Completes merge of seaice area relax. code.
1659       Requires unified CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX
1660       to be set in EXF_OPTIONS.h since this pkg controls its I/O
1661       (and avoids second CPP option in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
1662     - change default value of costIceStart & costIceEnd to a valid date.
1663     - add snowPrecip to HSNOW in seaice_growth
1664    o pkg/ptracers:
1665     - move ptracers summary and setup check into separated S/R ; add a check for
1666       valid PTRACERS_Iter0 value (error+stop or just warning).
1667    o pkg/cal (+ pkg/ecco):
1668     - avoid calling a S/R with 2 times the same arg (FWD: unless both are only used
1669       as input; and for AD, unless both are not differentiable (e.g., k index)).
1670    o model/src:
1671     - define internal flag "uniformFreeSurfLev" (=T when free-surface level-index
1672       is everywhere k=1) to speed-up some calculations (by pass kSurf reference);
1673       temporary set to usingZCoords value (to be changed to F when using shelfice).
1674     - hydrostatic pressure: implement partial cell near the surface also for
1675       Z-coordinates (for the case where uniformFreeSurfLev=F); replace test on
1676       usingZCoords with test on uniformFreeSurfLev where needed (in NonHyd code).
1677    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_init.F:
1678     - add a formal parameter to s/r ctrl_init_rec to print
1679       xx_$(ctrl_valiable)_file for easier debugging
1680     - move call of cal_* routines into the if-block where they are really
1681       needed so that xx_$(ctrl_variable)_period can be 0 or -12 without having
1682       to specify a startdate
1683    o pkg/seaice:
1684     - update comments in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (+ similar update of lab_sea/code and
1685       global_ocean.cs32x15/code versions).
1686     - turn on seaice Multi-category (in data.seaice, SEAICE_multDim=7) for
1687       verification experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice and update results.
1688    o pkg/exf:
1689     - new S/R EXF_GETFIELD_START to return starting-time of a forcing field
1690       (according to useExfYearlyFields).
1691    o pkg/cal:
1692     - move calendar setting & summary (previously in cal_readparams.F) into new
1693       S/R CAL_INIT_FIXED to be called later in the initialisation process, once
1694       length of the simulation is set (after SET_PARMS call); This is an attempt
1695       to fix Pb when, e.g.: pkg/longstep, modifies the length of the run.
1696     - For safety: keep a record of pkg/cal parameter settings status
1697               to allow to STOP if one pkg/cal S/R is called too early.
1698     - add a stop in all basic pkg/cal subroutines if called before setting is done.
1699     - modify cal_getdate.F: stop when nothing was returned;
1700       if called with myIter=-1, simply retrun modelBaseDate (1,2 = startDate_1,_2);
1701       this allows to remove "cal.h" from seaice_read_parms.F & init_mnc_vars.F.
1702    
1703    checkpoint63l (2012/04/04)
1704    o pkg/bbl:
1705      - fix call to FIND_RHO_2D in bbl_calc_rho.F (case multi-tiles per proc);
1706        update global_with_exf output.yearly.txt file.
1707    o pkg/cal:
1708      - start to clean-up cal_set.F ; fix for the case where baseTime is non-zero.
1709      - remove 2 unsused and very short (1 line only) functions ;
1710      - remove unsused subroutines from AD-Diff list.
1711    o model/src:
1712      - start to implement clean wait to stop in initialization S/R (config_check.F,
1713         packages_check.F, ini_parms.F and pkg/obcs/obcs_check.F + pkg/mypackage)
1714    o folowing PRINT_MESSAGE changes:
1715      - remove reminder multiple print to the same file (STDOUT) when multi-threads.
1716    o pkg/bbl:
1717      - modification so it can work with z*
1718      - replace deltaT with dTtracerLev(k) for asynchronous time stepping
1719      - global_with_exf/input.yearly verification; changes output.yearly.txt
1720    o eesupp/src:
1721      - PRINT_MESSAGE: use OpenMP critical instruction (similar to PRINT_ERROR);
1722        writing to unit 0 (if unit=errorMessageUnit) extended to the case myThid=1
1723      - CHECK_THREADS: specific code if using OpenMP threading: improve checking of
1724        # of threads across processors (e.g., different env OMP_NUM_THREADS setting)
1725      - improve special preliminary call to EESET_PARMS (if eedata is read 2 times).
1726      - when using MPI, always set usingMPI=T ; set default accordingly and stop
1727        if not consistent.
1728      - ALL_PROC_DIE: add a BARRIER after MPI_FINALIZE call ; skip this when thread
1729        argument is zero (in case called within single-thread section).
1730    o pkg/fizhi:
1731        clean-up turbulence cold-start switch: decided in fizhi_init_vars.F, stored
1732        in common bloc (fizhi_coms.h) and then passed as argument up to S/R TURBIO.
1733    o pkg/exch2:
1734      - add argument "updateCorners" to S/R exch2_get_uv_bounds (enable to
1735        activate EXCH_IGNORE_CORNERS in vector EXCH S/R).
1736      - switch 1rst EXCH call to IGNORE_CORNERS (instead of UPDATE_CORNERS)
1737        but keep the 2nd with UPDATE_CORNERS: this prevents overwriting good data
1738        with bad ones coming from a not-yet-updated halo.
1739        This should fix the problem when sNx <> sNy and GCD(sNx,sNy) < 2*Olx.
1740    o pkg/frazil:
1741        move FrzForcT diag from frazil_diagnostics_state.F to frazil_calc_rhs.F
1742        http://mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2012-March/005384.html
1743    o model/src/config_check.F: add a check for OLx>sNx/OLy>sNy
1744    o verification/lab_sea
1745      * #undef SEAICE_EXCLUDE_FOR_EXACT_AD_TESTING
1746      * #define ALLOW_SST_CONTROL & ALLOW_SST_CONTROL
1747      * nTimeSteps 3 -> 4
1748      * changed reference output accordingly
1749    o pkg/ctrl:
1750      * fix ctrl_get_gen for xx_sst, xx_sss
1751    o pkg/fizhi:
1752      - fix 2 calls to S/R GRD2MSC (argument igrd) in update_earth_exports.F
1753        update results of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (fail with only 6 digits for cg2d)
1754      - by default, use new version of S/R GETPWHERE (#define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE);
1755        fix few out-of-bounds indices in referencing vars (initialise igrd to 1);
1756        clean-up fizhi_turb.F (remove unused & uninitialised qdiaglsm array).
1757    o pkg/gmredi:
1758      - add diagnostic of Redi (main diagnonal) vertical diffusive flux of Temp
1759    o pkg/fizhi:
1760      - fix few initialisation and multi-tile Pb: aqualev & gridalt now pass the
1761        (old)aces open64 tuv test.
1762    o pkg/icefront: fix bug and reorder loop in icefront_init_varia.F
1763    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
1764      - fix 1 loop range in mom_vecinv.F to be like all the other loops which
1765        set/update gu,gv/Diss (fix Pb of uninitialised fVerUkp in admom_vecinv
1766        with non-lin free-surf).
1767    o model/src: move k-loop outside of i/j-loops when (re-)computing R_low
1768      in ini/update_masks_etc.F in order to avoid -O3 optimization problems with
1769      some compilers (gfortran 4.6.0 on MacOS)
1770    o momentum:
1771      - separate fVer?(:,:,kUp) & fVer?(:,:,kDown) in argument list of MOM_FLUXFORM
1772        & MOM_VECINV subroutines (to help TAF). This fixes Pb of uninitialised
1773        fVer?(kUp) in admom_fluxform with non-lin free-surf or bottom control.
1774    
1775    checkpoint63k (2012/03/17)
1776    o model/src:
1777       - selectAddFluid (ALLOW_ADDFLUID): add missing term in horizontal momentum
1778         flux-form (mom_fluxform.F) and vertical momentum (calc_gw.F) equations.
1779       - SOLVE_DIAGONAL: switch default to use adjoinable & vectorized version
1780         (#undef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY); update output of exp. front_relax.bvp.
1781    o model/src: solve_*diagonal.F
1782       - replace division with multiplication by inverse (similar to original version)
1783         update output of AD exp. global_ocean.90x40x15.
1784       - fix pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_psi_bvp.F & pkg/ggl90/ggl90_calc.F
1785         to enable the use of the vectorized & differentiable solve_tridiagonal.F
1786       - test exp. global_ocean.90x40x15/input_ad: switch to advection scheme 20 for
1787         vertical advection (to get solve_tridiagonal tested in AD mode).
1788    o pkg/seaice: ECCO-CLIVAR merge:
1789      1. seaice AREA relaxation
1790         * CPP option: SEAICE_ALLOW_AREA_RELAXATION
1791         * runtime flag: SEAICE_tauAreaObsRelax
1792      2. modified global mean cost imbalance code: CPP option
1793          ALLOW_SSH_GLOBMEAN_COST_CONTRIBUTION
1794    o another iteration on solve_*diagonal.F
1795       Make choices independent of AUTODIFF
1796       Default will be the adjoinable vectorized version.
1797       Alternative choices are:
1798       * non-adjoinable original version with low memory footprint:
1799         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY
1800       * still adjoinable but does not vectorize (k as inner-most loop):
1801         #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER (keeping SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY undef)
1802    o testreport
1803     - add option to use a home made wrapper around "make"
1804     - remove MITGCM_IEEE env. variable (no longer active)
1805    o pkg/shelfice
1806     - improve computation of friction velocity for velocity dependent
1807       exchange coefficients: include velocities into SHELFICEBoundaryLayer
1808       block to average velocities vertically
1809     - add TAF store directives for SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
1810    o Modify diagonal solvers, now three versions (upon request):
1811      #ifndef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF
1812        1. default version (dating back a while ago)
1813      #else /* def SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
1814      # ifdef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER
1815        2. adjoinable version with k-innermost loop (G. Forget)
1816      # else
1817        3. adjoinable vectorized version of 2.
1818      # endif
1819      #endif /* SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
1820      All flags are currently set within routines, but could/should be moved to CPP-options.
1821      Array bounds for 1. are as before, for 2.,3. cover the entire domain
1822      (could be changed for 1. too).
1823    o verification/lab_sea (fwd):
1824      - update the 4 fwd lab_sea test experiment: no longer SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
1825        use 7 categories (except hb87), new solve4temp params (except salt_plume),
1826        constant salinity (=4) or variable salinity (salt_plume) done through
1827        SItracer.
1828    o pkg/seaice:
1829      - rename parameters: SIsalFrac to SEAICE_saltFrac & SIsal0 to SEAICE_salt0;
1830      - remove old parameters ( SEAICE_freeze, SEAICEturbFluxFormula, SEAICE_gamma_t,
1831         SEAICE_gamma_t_frz, SEAICE_availHeatTaper & SEAICE_availHeatFracFrz)
1832        from SEAICE_PARMS.h ; still need to fix seaice_cost_sst.F (broken when
1833        SEAICE_freeze got retired) but already better than previously with
1834        SEAICE_freeze=123456.7 deg.C;
1835      - move setting of facOpenGrow/Melt from SEAICE_INIT_FIXED to SEAICE_READPARMS
1836        (safer multi-threaded setting); always set SEAICEuseEVP;
1837      - setting of ocean-ice turb. flux coeff: moved from SEAICE_CHECK to
1838        SEAICE_READPARMS & SEAICE_INIT_FIXED (this fixes wrong summary report);
1839        stop if multiple specifications for the same coeff; make sure default
1840        SEAICE_mcPheePiston is compatible with drF(1) & deltaT.
1841    o pkg/obcs:
1842      - allow to switch to upwind 1rst order advection scheme for the advective
1843        flux computation at the open-boundary; disabled for adjoint built.
1844    o pkg/ptracers:
1845      - rename PTRACERS_RESTART.h -> PTRACERS_START.h
1846      - rename ptracers_fields_blocking_exchanges.F -> ptracers_fields_blocking_exch.F
1847      - add parameter to decide when to start a tracer; use internal flag to
1848        know which tracer to step-forward; switch this internal flag at the top
1849        of forward_step.F (new S/R PTRACERS_SWITCH_ONOFF); for now, not enabled
1850        for adjoint built.
1851    o pkg/seaice:
1852      - add SEAICE_SIZE.h anywhere in the code where SEAICE.h is included ;
1853      - move MULTDIM declaration and setting from SEAICE.h to SEAICE_SIZE.h ;
1854      - keep experiment offline_exf_seaice truly single category (set MULTDIM=1).
1855    o pkg/ecco:
1856      - fix writing of output file DiagnosCost_ClimSalt/Theta
1857        and DiagnosCost_DriftSalt/Theta (if multi-tiles per proc).
1858    o pkg/seaice:
1859      - add missing initialisation of COR_ICE array in dynsolver.F
1860      - merging SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY define and undef cases. Now the same code is
1861        compiled either way, and is tested in all exps (multidim was only tested
1862        in lab_sea ad before).
1863      - cosmetic change to prepare for future addition of ITD. no change to results.
1864        no defaults change.
1865      - added run time param SEAICE_multDim (7 for SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY, 1 otherwise).
1866      - by lack of adequate verification experiments, I further used custom versions
1867        of global_ocean.cs32x15 to test multicat or not, with pickup or not. All
1868        should be correct.
1869      - avoid recomputations in ad.
1870    o array initialisation in adjoint mode:
1871      1) pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_ke.F:
1872        add full array initialisation of KE inside mom_calc_ke.F (ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC):
1873        The S/R which calls MOM_CALC_KE initialises KE but in some recomputation
1874        part this initialisation is gone, resulting in Floating Point Exception
1875        (caught by open64 compiler with debug option).
1876      2) model/src/convective_weights.F
1877        set output convectCount over the full array range (instead of doing
1878        an update): this fix a similar issue when called within recomputation (adjoint)
1879        which could by-pass the initialisation (normally done in the caller S/R).
1880    o pkg/seaice:
1881      - final version of turbulent flux params, as agreed at MIT ice meet:
1882           SEAICE_mcPheePiston (default is ~ 0.000875)
1883           SEAICE_mcPheeTaper (default is 0.)
1884           SEAICE_frazilFrac (defualt is 1.)
1885           SEAICE_mcPheeStepFunc (default is false)
1886      - changes results at trunction error level
1887      - ifdef SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES, disallow SEAICE_waterAlbedo
1888    o added pkg/frazil:
1889      - see frazil_description.tex for details
1890      - verification experiment is global_with_exf/input.yearly; changes output.yearly.txt
1891    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F
1892      - fix exponents for velocity dependent exchange coefficients: change
1893        from 2/3(=0) to 0.66666666666666667
1894      - move computation of velocity dependent exchange coefficients into
1895        separate loop, so that it applies to both thermodynamics
1896      - move some divisions by constants out of loops
1897    
1898    checkpoint63j (2012/02/16)
1899    o pkg/seaice:
1900      - overhaul of seaice_summary.F after feb 2012 clean-up of seaice_growth.F etc.
1901      - SItracer:  added run time params, and allow coupling to ocn salinity.
1902    o pkg/seaice: remove (almost) all divisions by constants within loops
1903      in seaice_growth.F and seaice_solve4temp.F, this changes (only) the cg2d
1904      results of global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice from 16 to 11 digits (but only
1905      those, caused by 1/QI -> recip_QI) -> update output.seaice.txt,
1906      output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt and also lab_sea: output_adm.evp.txt
1907    o pkg/seaice :
1908      - simplify McPhee tapering, and allow to use it with SEAICEturbFluxFormula
1909        = 1 or 2, using newly added run time parameter SEAICE_availHeatTaper.
1910      - fix d_AREAbyATM, d_AREAbyOCN, d_AREAbyICE diags I broke in r1.148.
1911      - add permanent SItflux diag that corresponds to TFLUX but includes
1912        ice+snow. Hence SItflux-TFLUX should match the ice+snow heat budget.
1913      - allow activation/testing of a fix for suspected missing term in
1914        ocn-ice heat budget (to be confirmed). To test this, you want to
1915        undef SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX, and then set the run time param
1916        SEAICEheatConsFix to .TRUE. that also allows the 'SIaaflux' diagnostic.
1917      - no change in results, fwd or ad.
1918    o global_ocean.cs32x15/results: 3 changes following from the pkg/seaice commit below:
1919      - switch to variable freezing point.
1920           Results change : cg2d -> 1 digits; ad -> 3-6-6 digits.
1921      - bug fix : the sublimation term that was missing is now activated.
1922           Results change : cg2d -> 2 digits; ad -> 8-6-6 digits.
1923      - bug fix : flooding sign term for SIsal0.NE.0.
1924           Result change : cg2d -> 8 digits; ad -> 11-12-9 digits.
1925    o pkg/seaice:
1926      - unified freezing point treatment : the old SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT
1927        is now the default, and the old default constant freezing point is recovered
1928        with SEAICE_tempFrz0    = -1.96,
1929             SEAICE_dTempFrz_dS = 0.,
1930      - retire SEAICE_freeze (= the old way of specifycing the constant freezing point)
1931      - remove ALLOW_SEAICE_FLOODING brackets; run time switch is already there.
1932      - bug fix (thanks to M. Losch) : the sublimation term that was missing is now
1933        activated. To reproduce old results with this bug define SEAICE_DISABLE_SUBLIM.
1934      - bug fix (silly me) : flooding sign term (seaice_growth.F r 1.149line 1211)
1935        was wrong for SIsal0.NE.0. Changes cs32x15 results (see above item for detail).
1936      - bug fix (thanks to O. Jahn) : area loss for melting  got messed up in
1937        seaice_growth r149 for legacy branch (no results change).
1938      - introduce SEAICE_CAP_SUBLIM : caps sublimation heat flux in solve4temp (code
1939        from I. Fenty).
1940      - results did not change except for global_ocean.cs32x15, mostly due to the
1941        switch to variable freezing point (see above item for detail).
1942    o pkg/thsice:
1943      - fix and simplify interface to salt_plume pkg ; diagnose directly amount of
1944        seawater freezing in thsice_calc_thickn (not used).
1945    o pkg/seaice: turbulent flux term specification via run time params.
1946      - replace CPP switches with run time switches to facilitate testing
1947      - retired CPPs : MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX,
1948                       GRADIENT_MIXED_LAYER_TURBULENCE_FACTOR
1949      - added runtime parameter : SEAICEturbFluxFormula
1950      - move Mcphee constants to SEAICE_PARAMS.h
1951      - seaice_readparms.F : read turbulent flux term params (SEAICEturbFluxFormula;
1952                 SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, or SEAICE_gamma_t/_frz if apply);
1953                 remove seaice_summary call (moved to seaice_init_fixed)
1954      - seaice_init_fixed.F : set SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz depending on
1955        SEAICEturbFluxFormula, and seaice_summary call (moved from seaice_readparms)
1956      - seaice_summary.F : add missing report of read turbulent flux term set up
1957                           and SITRACER.
1958      - seaice_check.F : check range; inform and stop if retired CPPs are used
1959                         (incl. SEAICE_AGE).
1960      - seaice_growth.F : unified use of SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, without
1961             CPP switch, same computation as before for the different options.
1962      - change results at the truncation level.
1963    o pkg/seaice:
1964      - remove un-used parameters LAD & MAX_TICE ; add new run-time parameters:
1965        useMaykutSatVapPoly (default=F), postSolvTempIter (default=2) and
1966        SEAICE_wetAlbTemp (default=-1e-3). Remove option SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
1967      - update verification/*/input*/data.seaice:
1968        to reproduce previous results with former #defined SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
1969        code, set useMaykutSatVapPoly=T & postSolvTempIter=0 ;
1970        and to reproduce previous results with former non-SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY code,
1971        set SEAICE_wetAlbTemp=0 & SEAICE_snowThick=0.
1972    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY):
1973      - remove LEGACY code for solving for tsurf (A1,A2,A3) but maintain the same
1974        algorithm (same choice: useMaykutPolySatVap=T, postSolvTempIter=0);
1975        difference in results only due to machine truncation.
1976      - remove MAX_TICE (tsurf is always =< TMELT anyway); keep MIN_TICE if using
1977        MaykutPolySatVap; keep MIN_LWDOWN.
1978      - adapt SEAICE_MODIFY_GROWTH_ADJ code (untested) to non-legacy formulation.
1979      - update output of verification exp. lab_sea (4 fwd: 11 cg2d digits except hb87,
1980        + 3 AD: 6 digits except evp) and offline_exf_seaice.seaice (12 digits).
1981    o pkg/salt_plume:
1982      - isolate saltPlumeFlux array exch into a specific S/R called from
1983        do_oceanic_phys.F
1984      - add interface to pkg/salt_plume (filling of saltPlumeFlux) in pkg/thsice.
1985    o verification:
1986      - move untested set-up to MITgcm_contrib/verification_other.
1987    o pkg/seaice:
1988      - retire old way of SEAICE_AGE. Now replaced with ALLOW_SITRACER.
1989    o pkg/seaice:
1990      - seaice_solve4temp.F (keeping results unchanged):
1991        * add 2 future run-time params to select which saturation vapor pressure
1992          formula is used and how post-iteration fluxes are set.
1993          Temporary set these 2 params according to option SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY;
1994        * New piece of code (not used) to update surf. atmos. heat flux F_ia using
1995          the linearized expression to stay consistent with tsurf finding.
1996      - seaice_freedrift.F avoid floating exception in sqrt(y) since y=sqrt(x*x)-x
1997        can be < 0.
1998    o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY undef):
1999      - remove from F_ia (and from it's derivative dFiDTs1) the contribution of
2000        conductive heat flux F_c , and add it explicitly when updating tsurf as
2001        solution of: Fc = Fia + d/dT(Fia - Fc) *delta.tsurf
2002        so that now F_ia has a consistent meaning through the entire routine.
2003        This causes differences at truncation level: update output of fwd exp.
2004        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice.
2005    o pkg/seaice:
2006      - lots of editing/cleaning in seaice_solve4temp.F + better documentation
2007        of arrays, sign/direction of fluxes; no effect on results.
2008      - replace hard coded 273.16 (=previous value of celsius2K) by celsius2K
2009        in seaice_budget_ocean.F & seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY part);
2010        note: this should have been done before changing celsius2K default.
2011      - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
2012        exp. input*/data : lab_sea (AD), offline_exf_seaice (fwd+AD) & seaice_obcs
2013      - replace hard coded seawater freezing temp in seaice_solve4temp.F (part
2014        SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY) of 271.20 (=previous value of celsius2K + default
2015        value of SEAICE_freeze) by celsius2K+SEAICE_freeze so that seawater
2016        freezing temp is consistent with value in seaice_growth.F ; this causes
2017        differences at machine truncation level: update lab_sea AD output (3/4).
2018    o pkg/seaice:
2019      - mask (in exf_init_fixed.F) atemp,aqh,evap,precip,runoff,lwflx,areamask
2020        and climsst/sss even when using seaice (to prevent calculation that might
2021        use SST on land); does not affect any verification exp.
2022      - apply mask to taux,tauy (in seaice_get_dynforcing.F); update output
2023        of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 and global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix.
2024    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: add mask to avoid non-zero ice thickness
2025      over land (non-legacy code)
2026    o vectorize salt_plume package:
2027      - add extra code to salt_plume_frac and salt_plume_tendency_apply_s
2028      - this code computes plumebk everywhere (also over land), thus requires
2029        code to avoid divisions by zero and catch the case of kLev=Nr.
2030      - efficiency of salt_plume_frac is still sub-optimal
2031    o tools (genmake2):
2032      - fix makefile NAME specification (option: -makefile NAME) by adding
2033        "-f $MAKEFILE" in few places where it was missing including makedepend
2034        command (contribution from Paul).
2035    
2036    checkpoint63i (2012/01/24)
2037    o model/src:
2038      - add factorized versions of some EOS code to find_rho.F,
2039        define USE_FACTORIZED_EOS to turn it on (default for TARGET_NEC_SX)
2040    o model/src:
2041      - add celsius2K to namelist PARM01; remove unused recip_rhoNil from PARAMS.h;
2042      - change default celsius2K from 273.16 to 273.15
2043      - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
2044        exp. input*/data : aim.5l_cs, 1D_ocean_ice_column, lab_sea (fwd),
2045         global_ocean.cs32x15(seaice) & cpl_aim+ocn(input_atm).
2046    o model/src: add a little initialisation trick to find_rho.F and find_alpha.F
2047      to make TAF generate vectorizable code
2048    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: add code (copied from CICE) that avoids underflows.
2049       Turn on by defining SEAICE_EVP_ELIMINATE_UNDERFLOWS. Most compilers
2050       have flags that do this more efficiently.
2051    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F
2052      - for TARGET_NEC_SX fix the treatment of the scaling factor tmpFac=scaleFact
2053    o pkg/obcs (with exch2):
2054      - derive OB indices in overlap region from OB-InsideMask (in obcs_init_fixed.F)
2055        and remove code (in obcs_readparms.F) which was based on EXCH of indices
2056        (through buffer) and did not account for exch2 (e.g., CS-grid) topology.
2057    o pkg/exf and seaice exp:
2058      - change offline_exf_seaice.seaicetd test exp. to use default DIFF1 value (=0)
2059        so that switching off area & heff advection flags does not affect results.
2060      - change default EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY to #define in EXF_OPTIONS.h
2061      - keep exp. seaice_obcs & 1D_ocean_ice_column(ad) unchanged (using #undef
2062        EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY) and, using pkg/exf default emissivities, update
2063        results of verification experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column(fwd),
2064        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice(fwd+ad) & seaice_dynmix(ad), lab_sea (all 8)
2065        and offline_exf_seaice (all 4).
2066    o pkg/seaice:
2067      - remove array YNEG, RIVER, TMIX (replaced by local var) from common block;
2068        remove also areaNm1 & hEffNm1 when SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY is undef.
2069      - fix bug: areaNm1 & hEffNm1 are needed in seaice_growth (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY)
2070        but were not filled when resp. SEAICEadvArea=F & SEAICEadvHeff=F and
2071        not multi-dim advection;
2072      - fix seaice_growth.F to compile with both SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and
2073        SHORTWAVE_HEATING #undef.
2074    o optim: make Makefile more robust (?)
2075    o pkg/obcs:
2076      * fix treatment of obcs_read_pickup for TAF
2077    o pkg/shelfice:
2078      * add missing initialisation of num_shifwflx
2079      * new adjoint verification exp. for isomip
2080      * change Prandtl and Schmidt numbers from generic formulations
2081        (in terms of model diffus. and visc.) to separate runtime
2082        parameters, with Holland and Jenkins (1999) default values.
2083    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
2084      - extended input field (2 rows) near the N & S poles:
2085        * fill in with the symetric value (when even Nb of data in longitude)
2086        * add average value at the poles only for scalar quantities ; for vector
2087          component interpolation, skip the averaging and keep duplicated values,
2088          unless the 2 components have same location (uvInterp=T) in which case
2089          interpolate the 2 components together using S/R EXF_INTERP_UV.
2090      - new S/R EXF_INTERP_UV to interpolate the 2 components of a vector field
2091        together: this allows to account properly for local orientation when
2092        averaging at N & S pole.
2093      - add CPP option EXF_USE_OLD_INTERP_POLE to recover old results regarding
2094        exf-interpolation near N & S poles. Undef by default.
2095      - add debug check/print on 1rst iter if debugLevel >=2.
2096    o pkg/exf:
2097      - change masking flags definition (no longer "parameter"), put them in
2098        common block and set them in S/R EXF_INIT_FIXED.
2099      - change recognized masking flag from s,u,v to c,w,s since the mask
2100        to use (maskC,W,S) depends on position on model grid and has little to
2101        do with scalar/vector difference; fix masking if using P-coordinates.
2102      - fix masking of wind-stress (was wrong if interpolated or read on A-grid)
2103        and update results of exp. global_with_exf (x2).
2104      - fix setting of zenith-angle table when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is undef.
2105    o pkg/obcs
2106      - S/R obcs_calc_stevens: fix a small bug (gammat -> gammas where appropriate)
2107    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
2108      - assume periodicity in X only if input field cover full longitude range.
2109      - improve search for lat. index (supposed to be faster, in ~log2(ny) steps,
2110        and should vectorise).
2111      - fix input lat of the 2 added row (in case we provide N.pole data).
2112    
2113    checkpoint63h (2011/12/30)
2114    o pkg/seaice:
2115      - change declaration of UVM from _RL to _RS in order to get B-grid
2116        uIce,vIce monitor when _RS = real*4
2117    o pkg/offline:
2118      - new S/R OFFLINE_RESET_PARMS for resetting main-model params (switch off flags);
2119      - compute vertical velocity if not read from file (switch on exactConserv
2120        & staggerTimeStep);
2121      - fix output of ptracer monitor iter & time for default PTRACERS_monitorFreq.
2122    o verification:
2123      - update grid-files (in tutorial_held_suarez_cs/input and fizhi-cs-32x32x40/input)
2124        with grid-angle generated using "utils/matlab/cs_grid/cubeCalcAngle.m":
2125        fix Pb in yG definition @ 2 missing corners (previously yG was averaged);
2126      - update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4 after changing
2127        grid-file angles (used here for coriolis-3d);
2128      - remove (or gzip) few files not needed to run fizhi-cs experiments.
2129    o pkg/exf (vector interpolation):
2130      - rotate vector component toward local grid-axis orientation using grid-angles
2131        (stored in GRID.h) instead of locally computed rotation angle; keep old code
2132        available with exf option EXF_USE_OLD_VEC_ROTATION (undef by default).
2133    o pkg/seaice:
2134      - allow to compile with exf options ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_DOWNWARD_RADIATION
2135        undefined. Fix and remove the stop when ALLOW_RUNOFF is undefined.
2136    o pkg/PKG_OPTIONS.h files:
2137      - move #include "CPP_OPTIONS.h" just after #include "PACKAGES_CONFIG.h",
2138        outside of the #ifdef ALLOW_THISPKG / #endif block.
2139      - update verification/*/code/PKG_OPTIONS.h files.
2140    o add a verification experiment (offline_exf_seaice/input.seaice) that test
2141      the B-grid LSOR solver
2142    o pkg/seaice: sort out emissivity and long wave radiation step 2:
2143      - add emissivity for snow and ice as new run-time parameters
2144        (unfortunately) that default to the corresponding exf values; this
2145        changes results in most verification experiments so that for backward
2146        compatibility these parameter have to be set explicitly to inconsistent
2147        values (ugly);
2148      - the exf-flag EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY then gets rid off the hard-wired
2149        emissivities of 0.97 associated with lwdownloc in S/R seaice_solve4temp
2150        until we agree how to handle this bug properly
2151    o pkg/exf (interpolation):
2152      - add a set of run-time param ({inputfield}_interpMethod), one for
2153        each interpolated input field, to select the interpolation method
2154        with a value of zero switching off the interpolation;
2155      - print interpolation parameters to standard output;
2156      - refine exf_check.F accordingly ; stop if USE_NO_INTERP_RUNOFF is defined
2157        (to use instead runoff_interpMethod=0 in data.exf).
2158      - simplify default setting of interpolation parameters (for all fields,
2159        set position to match model grid cell-center position, leading to trivial
2160        interpolation in case of regular Lat-Lon grid) and fix for the case of
2161        non-uniform delY.
2162    o pkg/exf/exf_radiation.F: add the factor ocean_emissivity to lwdown, for
2163       within #ifdef EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY/#endif. Unless ocean_emissivity=1.
2164       this factor is absolutely required, because the lw exitance (= out-going
2165       long wave radiation) is emissivity*stefanBoltzmann*T^4 + rho*lwdown,
2166       where the reflectivity rho = 1-emissivity for conservation reasons. Once
2167       this is established, we can remove the CPP-Flag (if we want to).
2168    o pkg/seaice:
2169      - qualify a stop statement in S/R seaice_check: EXF_READ_EVAP and
2170        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE are only required if SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES is defined
2171      - sort out emissivity and long wave radiation, step 1: make SEAICE_emissivity
2172        what the name implies (and not emissivity*BoltzmannConstant), this means
2173        the old default value of 5.5e-8 now means
2174        5.5e-8/5.670e-8 = 0.97001763668430343479 as ocean_emissivity in
2175        S/R exf_readparms
2176      - FV-discretization of the B-grid LSOR solver, turn on with
2177        SEAICE_LSRBNEW. This new solver also involves a slight re-organization
2178        of the calling routine dynsolver, so that B and C-grid code look a
2179        little more alike.
2180      - fix index bugs in ostres.F (B-grid code)
2181    o pkg/seaice/seaice_ocean_budget.F: change (unused) code to make it look better
2182    o pkg/seaice/seaice_readparms.F: make ocean_emissivity*stefanBoltzmann the
2183      default for SEAICE_emissivity, if useEXF; requires setting a wrong
2184      parameter value in global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice/data.seaice for
2185      backward compatiblity
2186    o model/src: use sigmaR in calc_ivdc
2187    
2188    checkpoint63g (2011/12/16)
2189    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
2190      fix heat conservation of the coupled ocean-seaice system.
2191      when SEAICE_HEAT_CONSERV_FIX is defined, the mismatch of
2192      solid vs liquid water treatment is resolved via QNET.
2193    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
2194      add missing term for sublimation in saltFlux, which was breaking conservation.
2195    o pkg/seaice/seaice_model.F:
2196      Remove this patholigical case treatment in evolution branch,
2197      where it is un-necessary and breaks conservation.
2198      Update global_ocean.cs32x15/results accordingly for
2199      output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt and output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt
2200    o model/src:
2201      useRealFreshWaterFlux: remove masking of EmPmP (using maskInC) in
2202      external_forcing_surf.F and apply mask directly in S/R SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE.
2203    o pkg/obcs:
2204      modify Stevens boundary conditions so that S/R obcs_calc_stevens computes
2205      tendency for temperature and salinity that is then applied to update
2206      theta and salt in S/R obcs_apply_ts; this requires proper masking of all
2207      horizontal advection and diffusion contributions on the boundary (in
2208      S/Rs gad_advection, gad_calc_rhs, gmredi_rtransport, gmredi_calc_diff), and
2209      removing the mask in S/R timestep_tracer. The advantage of this approach is
2210      that the updated tracer values include contributions from the surface
2211      forcing and vertical diffusion.
2212      This modification changes exp4.stevens because of vertical diffusion.
2213    o model/src:
2214      change non-curvilinear grid setting to also work with exch2 + blank tiles:
2215      - move delX,delY to new header file (SET_GRID.h) and adjust length to 1rst
2216        face dimensions.
2217      - new S/R INI_LOCAL_GRID to define model tile-local grid (using same units
2218        as delX,delY) and called from S/R INI_CARTESIAN_GRID, INI_CYLINDER_GRID
2219        and INI_SPHERICAL_POLAR_GRID.
2220      change test-experiment global_ocean.90x40x15:
2221      - split the domain in many more tiles (9x4 tiles of 10x10 each);
2222      - switch to exch2 and remove 1 blank-tile (but only for MPI test).
2223      - update results of both test (std & dwnslp).
2224    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstat_calc.F: fix problem with non-initialised halos in
2225       tmp-fields for TARGET_NEC_SX at the cost of extra loops and less vectorisation
2226    o model/src:
2227      - take sigma-coords related code out of update_etah.F into new S/R UPDATE_ETAWS
2228        and fix initialisation when using sigma-coords.
2229    o model/src:
2230     - improve Gael's changes from Jan 14, 2011 "addition of an 'update' of hfacc etc.
2231       to their current value at the beginning of forward_step.F": add a new run-time
2232       switch "doResetHFactors" (default=false) and use it to do (or not) the resetting.
2233     - set doResetHFactors=T in the following test exp:
2234        global_ocean.90x40x15/input (rStar) & input.dwnslp (linFS),
2235        global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice (rStar), hs94.cs-32x32x5/input.impIGW (linFS)
2236        and tutorial_global_oce_in_p (nonLinFS in p)
2237    o pkg/ecco
2238      - added IES cost term
2239    o verification/advect_xz
2240      - scale down the depth by 1/100 (from 200 km to just 2.km)
2241      - add secondary test using divergent flow, r-star and implicit vertical advection.
2242      - add note (check_conserve_TS.txt) and matlab script to check global
2243        conservation of T & S with NonLin-FreeSurf and Adams-Bashforth.
2244    o pkg/rbcs:
2245      - add missing relaxUFile & relaxVFile in namelist (in rbcs_readparms.F).
2246    o pkg/obcs (Stevens BCs):
2247      - fix various problems in the phase speed computations of the Stevens
2248        boundary conditions:
2249        - sign error for western and southern boundaries,
2250        - time tendencies were underestimated by factor of dTracerLev and some just
2251          zero (for multidim advection schemes) -> now estimate time tendencies
2252          from difference between previous (n) time level and the one before (n-1);
2253          this requires storing a field per tracer per boundary, also in the pickup
2254          files.
2255        - replace deltaTmom in cflMer/Zon computation with dTracerLev
2256        - set default phase velocity to cflMer/Zon
2257      - update verification experiment exp4.stevens
2258    o pkg/generic_advdiff (implicit_r):
2259      - fix implicit vertical advection conservation with AB and/or NonLin-FreeSurf
2260        (remove Tr*d/dz(w) in gad_implicit_r.F and add it in gad_calc_rhs.F);
2261      - fix implicit vertical diffusion or advection with NonLin FreeSurf
2262        (was using current recip_hFacC instead of future recip_hFacC): set future
2263        recip_hFac in thermodynamics.F and pass & use it in all vertical implicit
2264        solver S/R ;
2265      - fill diagnostics of vertical advective fluxes (computed from tendency)
2266        when using implicit vert. advection;
2267      - update output of exp that uses NonLin-FreeSurf & implicit vertical diffusion:
2268         global_ocean.90x40x15 (fwd+AD), global_ocean.cs32x15 (4 fwd +4 AD),
2269         tutorial_global_oce_in_p (fwd), tutorial_tracer_adjsens (AD)
2270         and cpl_aim+ocn (used in ocean); to be fixed: bottom_ctrl_5x5.
2271    o pkg/diagnostics:
2272      - add diags for T & S tendency which goes through Adams-Bashforth.
2273    
2274    checkpoint63f (2011/11/30)
2275    o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
2276      - join some loops to reduce number of if-statements
2277      - fix a bug in code for northern and southern boundaries.
2278    o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_varia.F
2279      - undo resetting UVM=0 that has slipped in unnoticed in r1.49 and
2280        caused zero ice-velocities for the B-grid code
2281    o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_fixed.F
2282      - fix a bug in the initialisation of the second metric terms
2283        k2AtC and k2AtZ: k2AtC was set to the value of k2AtZ and k2AtZ was 0.
2284      - this affects all seaice configurations with useCurviLinearGrid = .true.
2285        and SEAICEuseDynamics = .true. (default) and SEAICEuseMetricTerms
2286        = .true. (default)
2287      - the only verification experiment affected is global_ocean.cs32x15:
2288        icedyn, seaice, and seaice_dynmix (AD)
2289    o pkg/thsice/thsice_diagnostics_state.F
2290      - only for TARGET_NEC_SX: initialise all of tmpFld, so that overlap does
2291        not contain garbage that can lead to surprises in diagstats_calc.F
2292    o model/src:
2293      - move bi,bj loops inside INTEGR_CONTINUITY ;
2294      - call INTEGR_CONTINUITY directly from forward_step.F
2295        (previously called from momentum_correction_step.F)
2296      - call UPDATE_ETAH from integr_continuity.F and update initialise_varia.F,
2297        forward_step.F and pkg/ecco/the_main_loop.F
2298    o model/src/do_oceanic_phys.F:
2299      - reset addMass to zero only if useICEFRONT ;
2300      - separated k-loop for rhoInSitu calculation ;
2301      - add 2 diagnostics for wVel*delta^k(Rho) at constant pressure (= WdRHO_P)
2302        and at constant T,S (= WdRHOdP);
2303      NOTE: change diagnostics WRHOMASS : this is now simply the Vertical transport
2304        of In-Situ Density (Anomaly) (=wVel*rho^bar-k) (previously was Vertical
2305        transport of locally-referenced potential density);
2306        to recover old diag: (WRHOMASS)_old = (WRHOMASS)_new -1/2 * (WdRHOdP)
2307    o gluemnc:
2308      - replace ncrcat with ncks when adding variables to *.glob.nc
2309      - change the way variables without record dimensions are handled so that
2310        files that have variables with and without record variables can be glued:
2311        add a record dimension with a new unique name to be able to differentiate
2312        between variable with and without a-prior record dimensions. Remove
2313        this record dimension before adding the variable to the *.glob.nc file.
2314        This procedure automatically works also for grid.*.nc files that do not
2315        have any record dimension.
2316    o verification/cpl_aim+ocn:
2317      - generate new reference output on baudelaire (gfortran, mpich2) (previously
2318        from old aces-grid cluster, ao + ifort) and update 'run_cpl_test' script.
2319    o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
2320      - add code for northern and southern boundaries.
2321      - reorder some loops to save some operations and so that drFBar can be scalar
2322    o model/src:
2323      - re-arrange extrapolation calculation in Adams-Bashforth S/R (affects machine
2324        truncation) and add diagnostics for Adams-Bashforth tendency increment.
2325      - update test-exp. AD output:
2326        1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5, lab_sea.noseaicedyn, obcs_ctrl;
2327      and FWD output: exp4 (x3), fizhi-cs-32x32x40, fizhi-cs-aqualev20,
2328        front_relax (x3), global_ocean.90x40x15 (x2), global_ocean.cs32x15 (x5),
2329        global_ocean_ebm, ideal_2D_oce, internal_wave, isomip (x3), lab_sea (x4),
2330        matrix_example, MLAdjust (x5), natl_box (x2), tutorial_advection_in_gyre,
2331        tutorial_global_oce_in_p, tutorial_global_oce_latlon and
2332        tutorial_plume_on_slope.
2333    o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F: add special code for TARGET_NEC_SX
2334      that vectorises. This code uses 3 extra 2D fields, F90 array assignments
2335      and F90 intrinsic routines SUM, MINVAL, MAXVAL, but since TARGET_NEC_SX
2336      does not even come with an F77 compiler anymore, this should not be
2337      a limitation
2338    
2339    checkpoint63e (2011/11/06)
2340    o pkg/seaice adjoint of LSR:
2341      - substantially rework STORE dirs.
2342      - add new flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER and parameter SOLV_MAX_FIXED
2343        this flag will do SOLV_MAX_ITERS but only store SOLV_MAX_FIXED fields
2344        and only perform SOLV_MAX_FIXED adjoint iters.
2345        If flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undef-ined, the store in the iteration
2346        always goes to same record, meaning that the last forward field will be
2347        the one used in the adjoint - an approximation.
2348      - now produces non-zero LSR-related gradients, and acceptable gradients for
2349        An's zonal (x-z) test case (to be checked in)
2350      - lab_sea: produces acceptable gradients for lab_sea with forward/backward LSR
2351        (but these are screwed up by the thermodynamics in the first place);
2352        reduce from 4 to 3 timesteps to avoid t.d. issue as temporary solution;
2353        output_adm.txt also reflects changes to seaice_lsr
2354      - global_ocean.cs32x15:
2355        * the "default" input_ad.seaice has been re-defined to always exclude dynamics
2356          (output_adm.seaice.txt was updated)
2357        * new input_ad.seaice_dynmix tests a forward LSR / backward free-drift
2358          (output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt)
2359    o test-exp. exp4+stevens:
2360      - switch off pTracers and nonHydrostatic (restart problems with NH); update output
2361    o pkg/seaice (lsr solver):
2362      - put coriolis term into FORCEX,Y (as in seaice_evp.F; previously in rhsU,V only);
2363        update output (change truncation) of FWD test exp lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15
2364      - fix SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT for new OBCS version (ndef OBCS_UVICE_OLD)
2365      - new parameter "LSR_mixIniGuess" allows (if=2,4) to mix free-drift solution
2366        into initial guess for linearised solver; use weight ~ (1/err)^2,4.
2367      - compute (with new S/R) and print initial (+ free-driff sol. if available)
2368        and final residual of linearised system.
2369    o pkg/pp81: add diagnostics for vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivity
2370      (requires new subroutines pp81_init_fixed.F/pp81_diagnostics_init.F)
2371    o pkg/obcs: Stevens BCs (still only for east and west)
2372      - fix Stevens BCs by using intermediate velocities of previous
2373        time step as "baroclinic" contribution rather velocity of one grid cell
2374        inside the boundaries; more consistent but makes the entire treatment
2375        more complicated, requires new pickup files and two new S/Rs:
2376        obcs_copy_uv_n and obcs_save_uv_n
2377        keep old version with flag OBCS_STEVENS_USE_INTERIOR_VELOCITY
2378        (undefined by default)
2379      - silently move computation of some grid factors into separate loops to
2380        save some recomputations
2381      - add a hack for non-linear free surface
2382      - add a verification experiment to exp4 that tests this code
2383    o make gluemnc/xplodemnc work with (moron) non-GNU shell tools
2384    
2385    checkpoint63d (2011/10/25)
2386    o pkg/obcs + seaice-dynamics:
2387      - new implementation calls OBCS_APPLY_UVICE (in seaice_dynsolver.F) before
2388        solving for uIce,vIce and prevent SEAICE_LSR or SEAICE_EVP to modify OB
2389        values (consistent with an implicit method).
2390      - add option OBCS_UVICE_OLD (in OBCS_OPTIONS.h, defined by default) to
2391        return to older implementation (same results as before); note that none of
2392        the "experimental" OBCS_SEAICE options are implemented in the new version.
2393      - switch test exp. seaice_obcs to use new version (update output).
2394    o pkg/seaice:
2395      - add few stop (B-grid & CS-exch, B-grid & obcs, AUTODIFF & SEAICE_maskRHS)
2396      - add parenthesis in Water-Ice drag calculations (evp & lsr);
2397      - in seaice_lsr.F, simplify and fix AA3 setting in case sNx or sNy=1;
2398        and fix case SEAICE_waterDrag=0 (but unstable if no or little seaice)
2399      - update output of test exp lab_sea that uses evp or lsr (fwd+ad)
2400        and global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn & seaice fwd+ad).
2401    o pkg/layers:
2402      - Include potential density as new coordinate (Thanks to David Munday)
2403    o pkg/dic:
2404      - Remove subroutine CALC_PCO2_APPROX_CO3 from carbon_chem.F and add
2405        carbonate computation/output to CALC_PCO2_APPROX
2406    o pkg/generic_advdiff
2407      - make TAF generate code that vectorizes:
2408        gad_dst3fl_adv_*.F, gad_u3c4_impl_r.F
2409    o model/src:
2410      - improve vectorization also for adjoint code of
2411        solve_tridiagonal and solve_pentadiagonal. As this requires up to
2412        5 new 3D-fields, this code is only turned on for the combination of
2413        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC and TARGET_NEC_SX. Also remove error message
2414        for singular matrix check (only for TARGET_NEC_SX).
2415      - remove hard-wiring of CPP-flag ALLOW_SOLVERS_KLOOPINSIDE to
2416        ALLOW_AUTODIFF. This flag now needs to be set outside of
2417        solve_tri/pentadiagonal.F
2418    o pkg/exf:
2419      - fix previous modif in exf_readparms.F (revision 1.66: treatment of
2420        optional namelist EXF_NML_OBCS).
2421      - add many debug-print (to trace down where pkg/cal error msg comes from)
2422    o pkg/mom_vecinv/mom_vi_hdissip.F
2423      - rearrange loops so that vectorization is improved and in particular
2424        the adjoint routine vectorizes. The code is a little longer now, but I
2425        think easier to read.
2426        Note: CPP-flag MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 is not tested.
2427    o pkg/seaice:
2428      - allow to specify initial seaice velocity from files (uIceFile,vIceFile)
2429    o pkg/exch2:
2430      - alternative code (without tile x tile matrix) for cumulated (global) sum;
2431        used as default; keep using matrix version in adjustment.cs-32x32x1.
2432    o tools/build_options:
2433      - after merging some MPI and/or multi-threads specific optfiles so that
2434        the modified default optfile support both built (using genmake2 -mpi
2435        for the MPI built, using genmake2 -omp for OpenMP built),
2436        move now obsolete optfiles to tools/build_options/unsupported/
2437       (add copy of email sent to support list in doc/optfiles_changes.txt)
2438    
2439    checkpoint63c (2011/09/28)
2440    o pkg/ebm:
2441      - fix ebm_zonalmean.F for several procs in Ydir (nPy > 1); update output of
2442        test exp. global_ocean_ebm (affects machine truncation, 12 digits for cg2d)
2443    o pkg/seaice (SItracer pickup)
2444    * Simple code for pickup of SItracer fields (#define ALLOW_SITRACER)
2445      To be done:
2446      - thorough testing of missing fields in S/R seaice_read_pickup
2447      - thorough matching between generic tracers and specific fields used
2448        (e.g. volume-weighted age, area-weighted age, salinity, ...)
2449    o pkg/grdchk:
2450      - all procs calculate and print finite-difference gradient (for testreport)
2451      - change description output used by testreport;
2452      - AD testing: also compare and report Finite-difference gradient;
2453        => update all output_adm*.txt
2454    o test exp. global_ocean_ebm:
2455      - switch back useRealFreshWaterFlux (no problem anymore with run-off);
2456        and turn on exactConserve; update (fwd) output.
2457    o pkg/seaice (LSR):
2458      - print to STDOUT number of solver iterations at SEAICE_monFreq interval.
2459      - modify solver to deal cleanly with u/v switch at face edges (CS-grid):
2460        * identical results with non-CS topology (but save up to half of EXCH calls)
2461        * no much changes in cs-32 verification tests since no ice at face edges
2462         (differences due to convergence criteria, since nb of iterations changed)
2463        * expect some differences on lat-lon-cap grid.
2464        update FWD results of global_ocean.cs32x15 test exp. (icedyn & seaice)
2465    o pkg/exch2:
2466      - add new CPP option to disable Cumul-Sum matrix (to save storage when using
2467        many tiles); until alternative coding is added, just add a stop.
2468    o pkg/kpp:
2469      - move ptracer/salt correction to KPP diffusivity from calc_3d_diffusivity.F
2470        to S/R KPP_CALC_DIFF_PTR (+ add tracer-index to argument list).
2471    o optfiles:
2472      - merged few MPI specific (*+mpi*) and multi-threads specific (*+mth) optfiles
2473        into corresponding standard one, which now support different build:
2474        (when using "genmake2 -mpi" for MPI built, "genmake2 -omp" for OpenMP built)
2475      - add "darwin_amd64_gfortran" optfile (initially from Constantinos, tested by Gael)
2476    o pkg/obcs (seaice):
2477      - add missing EXCH for uIce,vIce after applying OBCS;
2478      - remove S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_X/Y , disable S/R EXF_SET_OBCS_X/Y by adding
2479        argument = number of levels to S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_XZ/YZ and S/R
2480        EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ ; update obcs_exf_load.F;
2481      - fix EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ for multi-threaded (assuming loaded arrays are shared)
2482      - verification exp. seaice_obcs: split domain in 2 tiles ; add SIZE.h_mpi
2483        and eedata.mth for MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
2484    o pkg/flt:
2485      - make FLT EXCH working with multi-threads (and MPI + multi-threads);
2486      - use buffer for floats IO (trajectories & profiles); size set in FLT_SIZE.h;
2487      - fix pickup and trajectories + profiles output with multi-threads;
2488      - add parameter to select group of fields to write along trajectory and
2489        profile (default unchanged);
2490      - only call PORT_RAND* function when flt_noise <> 0;
2491      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. flt_example.
2492    o eesupp/src:
2493      - fix S/R ALL_PROC_DIE for MPI+multi-threads.
2494      - USE_OMP_THREADING: check that number of threads (from eedata) matches
2495        actual number (from env.var. setting).
2496    o pkg/ebm:
2497      - fix multi-threading in ebm_area_t.F ; clean-up EBM.h header file.
2498      - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. global_ocean_ebm
2499    
2500    checkpoint63b (2011/08/29)
2501    o pkg/ebm:
2502      - fix sign of runoff;
2503      - update directly forcing fields (Qnet,EmPmR) to use standard
2504        external_forcing_surf.F (remove ebm_forcing_surf.F);
2505      - avoid loading forcing fields a 2nd time (1rst time from ini_forcing.F);
2506      - set either tauThetaClimRelax (in data) or tauThetaZonRelax (in data.ebm)
2507        and apply relaxation towards corresponding SST field (2-D map or ZonAver).
2508      - update global_ocean_ebm parameters file data and update output (fwd+ad).
2509    o verification/matrix_example:
2510      - split domain in 8 tiles (2x4); add SIZE.h_mpi and eedata.mth for
2511        MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
2512    o pkg/matrix:
2513      - change name of S/R MATRIX_INIT to S/R MATRIX_INIT_VARIA ;
2514      - fix for multi-tiles (add bi,bj indices to exp/impMatrixCounter);
2515      - fix for multi-threaded (remove DATA statement);
2516      - use standard DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE function;
2517      - add MATRIX_OPTIONS.h
2518    o verification/matrix_example:
2519       To allow to split the domain in several tiles, change the domain size
2520        from 31x31 to 32x32 by adding 1 row (on Southern side) + 1 column (on
2521        Western side) of land points.
2522    o (*_)write_pickup:
2523      - fix few bugs in mypackage_read/write_pickup.F
2524      - in MDS_WR_METAFILES calls, replace "myTime" by a local copy into
2525        array of length 1 (was caught by compiler syntax-check).
2526    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential solver):
2527      - fix initialisation of main diagonal matrix (for overlap values)
2528    o tools/build_options:
2529      - towards single optfile for MPI and non-MPI built: merge few +mpi optfile
2530        into previously non MPI one (linux_am64 pgf77,open64,pathf90,ifort11)
2531      - linux_amd64_gfortran: merge +mpi_generic version into standard optfile:
2532        * move IEEE flags to DEVEL section; take IEEE flags from +mpi_generic ;
2533        * FAST case: for now, keep -O3 with ini_masks_etc.F in NOOPTFILES list;
2534        and use "-devel" testreport option for standard testing on baudelaire.
2535    o pkg/grdchk:
2536      - Assume that all gradient-check position are within the same tile
2537        corresponding to global indices (iGloTile,jGloTile) and that
2538        positions (i,j indices or nbeg) are local to this tile;
2539      - set tile local-indices and proc. number according to tile global-indices;
2540      - remove grdchkwhichproc from namelist (retired param);
2541      - send adjoint gradient to all procs so that all procs print it to STDOUT;
2542      - switch on MPI test for global_ocean.90x40x15 AD test experiment.
2543    o adding package bbl (Bottom Boundary Layer)
2544      description in MITgcm/pkg/bbl/bbl_description.tex
2545      example/test experiment in MITgcm_contrib/bbl
2546    o adjoint verifications
2547      - changed 5 experiments to multi-tiles
2548        * global_ocean.90x40x15
2549        * obcs_ctrl
2550        * offline_exf_seaice
2551        * tutorial_dic_adjoffline
2552        * tutorial_tracer_adjsens
2553        changed reference output for those that crossed tile boundaries
2554        (changed choices of gradient check positions)
2555      - with same tiling, switch on MPI test for the last 4 (add SIZE.h_mpi)
2556      - temporary bug fix in grdchk_loc.F for obcs
2557    o genmake2 & testreport
2558      - add target "obj" (just for OBJFILES files) to Makefile;
2559      - add option to specify FEXTRAFLAGS on command line.
2560    o pkg/mypackage:
2561      - remove bi,bj arguments from argument list of S/R MYPACKAGE_CALC_RHS
2562    
2563    checkpoint63a (2011/08/02)
2564    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
2565      - fix velocity-potential calculation when using OBCS: balance net inflow
2566        at each level (new S/R OBCS_DIAG_BALANCE).
2567      - fix some of the problems with OBCS in stream-function calculation.
2568    o pkg/exf/exf_readparms.F
2569      - make treatment of optional namelists (EXF_NML_04, EXF_NML_SGRUNOFF,
2570        EXF_NML_OBCS) more consistent, so that you need not have these lists
2571        in data.exf when they are not used.
2572    o optim/optim_readdata.F:
2573      - add some output about obcs variables that might help debugging
2574      - add a check about nvarlength
2575    o pkg/ctrl: once again, fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
2576    o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
2577      - fix mask for OBCS (still problems in stream-function with OBCS);
2578      - add specific parameter (default = main code CG2D params) for solver;
2579      - in case of poor convergence, use solution corresponding to lowest residual.
2580    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: small changes that permit vectorizable
2581      adjoint code. In general statements like tmpscal=fld(i,j) are problematic
2582      and should be avoided where possible.
2583    o model/src (rStar):
2584      - include r* effect on reference-state (PhiRef) in totPhiHyd
2585        (so that it's really the potential anomaly at the cell center);
2586        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS.
2587      - test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15: reduce viscA4 (was not stable) and
2588        update output (because of z* in totPhiHyd and viscA4 changes);
2589      - keep the previous diagnostics as "PHIHYDcR" (closer to potential anomaly
2590        @ constant r) until interpolation at constant r is implemented.
2591    o pkg/diagnostics
2592      - fix RCENTER diagnostics in case cell center is not at interface middle
2593    o add code for TEOS-10 (www.teos-10.org, McDougall et al. 2011). Use
2594      this eos with eosType = 'TEOS10', in data (PARM01). This eos implies
2595      that THETA and SALT are "conservative temperature" and "absolute
2596      salinity"
2597    o pkg/ctrl
2598      - fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
2599      - ctrl_pack/unpack_*: remove unused variables and some obsolete code
2600    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
2601      - fix recomputation with FENTY_AREA_EXPANSION_CONTRACTION code,
2602        remove then obsolete STORE directives
2603      - fix STORE directives for tice and tices, so that only the
2604        appropriate part of the fields are stored (and not the entire
2605        field); update global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice AD output.
2606      - cosmetic changes: adjust CPP flags and indentation for better
2607        legibilty
2608    o pkg/autodiff: add mnc-output of adBottomDragFld (code contributed by
2609      Chris Wilson)
2610    o pkg/gmredi:
2611       Add Sub-Meso Eddies parameterisation from Baylor (for now, disabled with TAF),
2612       and test it in verification exp. "front_relax.bvp" (update output.bvp.txt)
2613    
2614    checkpoint63  (2011/07/11)
2615    o pkg/exch2:
2616     - rename+move: nTiles in W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h --> exch2_nTiles in W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h
2617     - exch2 version of Cumul-Sum routine: S/R W2_SET_MAP_CUMSUM set up the
2618       (2*nTiles)x(nTiles) Cumul-Sum matrix and Master Proc collects all tiles X,Y
2619       increments, calculates Cumul-Sum @ tile origin and sends results to each tile.
2620    o pkg/diagnostics:
2621     - deal with pairs of post-processed diags which are computed together; in
2622       particular, re-order list of diags within 1 file to save 2nd computation.
2623     - add S/R to compute velocity stream-function (called after velocity-potential
2624       calculation) from divergence free transport -> new diagnostics "PsiVEL".
2625     - add parameter to select grid-point location where PsiVEL == 0.
2626    o eesupp/src:
2627       new S/R to calculate cumulated sum on tiled array, corner grid-cell location
2628       (specific S/R needed with exch2 topology - for now, just print an error msg)
2629    o pkg/shelfice
2630     - Implement friction velocity-dependent transfer coefficients following
2631       Holland and Jenkins, JPO, 1999
2632       Original code by M. Losch with small modifs.
2633       Enable with CPP option SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
2634       and runtime flag SHELFICEuseGammaFrict
2635    o verification lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15:
2636     - use tools/xmakedepend (instead of cyrus_makedepend, in genmake_local):
2637       does not miss some dependencies (but is slower) and also works with many files
2638       (default makedepend limitation for AD built).
2639     - use cyrus_makedepend in adjustment.128x64x1 (so that it still tested).
2640    o pkg/diagnostics:
2641     - add run-time parameter "useMissingValue" (def=False) to fill land-point
2642        (i.e., where mask=0) with MissingValue ; used only in MNC output file.
2643       This replaces CPP-option DIAGNOSTICS_MISSING_VALUE.
2644     - Extend the use of "missing_value" setting from data.diagnostics for the case
2645       of counter-diagnostics (where fraction-weight is zero). This applies both to
2646       MNC and MDS output files.
2647    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
2648      - add 'a priori' cap of latent heat flux based on actual mass considerations
2649        when SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET is used in conjunction with the
2650        non-legacy seaice_solve4temp.
2651      - add diagnostic of the residual sublimation freshwater flux (the freshwater
2652        flux taken from the ocean if the total actual latent heat fluxes exceed
2653        the maximum)
2654      - remove the CPP switch around the *_FWbySublim unit change and move diagnostic
2655       fill for SIatmQnt, SIfwSubl, SIatmFW to the end of seaice_growth.F.
2656      - add diagnostic of the actual sublimation freshwater flux (that is 0. ifndef
2657       SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET) and of the latent heat flux (evap+sublim).
2658      - bug fix : frWtrAtm needs a_FWbySublim ifdef SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET.
2659      - bug fix : missing part to Martin's r_FWbySublim pathological case fix.
2660    o verification 1D_ocean_ice_column:
2661       made model domain truly 1x1x23 instead of 5x5x23 with only center cell (3,3,:) wet
2662       update results
2663    o pkg/diagnostics:
2664     - Implement setting of "Post-Processed" diagnostics (corresponding to gdiag(5)='P')
2665       which are not filled-up but computed from other diags ; In this case, the mate
2666       diag points to the primary (filled-up) diag to used for post processing.
2667     - Update Velocity-potential computation using post-processed diag framework.
2668     ==> Change the ordering of fields and time-periods in MDS output file
2669       when using periodic averaging: now writes one time record with the full set
2670       of fields for this time period, then the next time reccord (it used to be
2671       one field with the full set of time records then the next field).
2672         Note: this is now similar to NetCDF (MNC) output file. <==
2673    
2674    checkpoint62z (2011/06/21)
2675    o adjoint monitor:
2676     - Add adjoint monitor output for packages exf, seaice
2677       and update relevant testreport output
2678    o pkg/seaice:
2679     - re-order diags inits so that they appear in order in available_diagnostics.log
2680     - added diags: hsnow thermo. rates of change, area preceeding ridiging process,
2681       area/heff/hsnow preceeding thermodynamic growth/melt.
2682     - modified diag: SIdA; output actual effect, as the description states.
2683     - modified description: SIqneti, SIqneto, SIuheff, SIvheff, SIdAb*, HSNOW.
2684     - retired redundant diags: SIyneg, SIfice, SIsnwice, SIthdgrh.
2685       (SIyneg->SIdHbOCN; SIfice->SIdHbATC; SIsnwice->SIdHbFLO;
2686        and SIthdgrh->SIdHbOCN+SIdHbATC+SIdHbATO)
2687     - modified diags (2) : switch all SIdA*, SIdH*, SIdS* from delta to rates.
2688     - added diagnostics for seaice generic tracers (SItr*).
2689     - added SItrUnit and SItrNameLong run time param (for SItr* diags).
2690     - in diag names, replaced 'PrTh' abbrev. of 'preceeding thermo' with 'PT'.
2691     I. Fenty: 18-Jun-2011:
2692     Minor changes to seaice package:
2693     1) Retired old variables (A22, SEAICE_lhsublim, areaMax, areaMin, hiceMin) and
2694        added some new ones (SEAICE_area_reg, SEAICE_hice_reg, SEAICE_area_floor)
2695       - Differentiated "regularization variables" from "floor variables"
2696        * areaMin became SEAICE_area_reg (old A22) and SEAICE_area_floor
2697        * hiceMin became SEAICE_hice_reg (old hiceMin)
2698          (with _reg meaning regularization variable)
2699       - SEAICE_lhSublim becomes lhSublim, the sum of SEAICE_lhEvap and SEAICE_lhFusion
2700        so as to ensure energy conservation when going between phases
2701      - A22 was not used anywhere
2702     2) Changed regularization procedure for heffActual and hsnowActual to ensure
2703        well-boundedness and smooth adjoint in seaice_growth.F
2704     3) Fixed a bug where seaice_solve4temp would not recognize ice-free grid cells
2705        because the old regularization always set heffActual >= 0.05 cm
2706     4) Changed the model so that the default behavior is to put a small (10^-5) "floor"
2707        on AREA when HEFF > 0.
2708      - went from requiring ALLOW_PRECLUDE_INFINITESIMAL_AREA to be defined to
2709        requiring that DISABLE_AREA_FLOOR *not* be defined
2710     Affected verifications:
2711      - 1D_ocean_ice_column (output.txt output_adm.txt)
2712      - global_ocean.cs32x15 (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt)
2713    o pkg/diagnostics:
2714      - move MNC code from diagnostics_out.F into new diagnostics_mnc_out.F (2 S/R).
2715      - rename S/R GETDIAG to DIAGNOSTICS_GET_DIAG and change type of 1rst argument
2716        (was _RL, now integer) with option = 0 to retrieve all levels.
2717      - add pieces of code to compute velocity potential at each level (new diagnostics
2718        PhiVEL, works only when UVELMASS & VVELMASS are also turned on);
2719        for now, using same params as CG2D (target-resisual, max Nb of iter ...).
2720      - fix few issues with counter diagnostics in diagnostics_setdiag.F &
2721        diagstats_setdiag.F (if diagnostic counter is itself a counter diag)
2722        and in diagnostics_fract_fill.F (do not need a valid pointer for the
2723        diagnostics counter-mate); check that definition of counter-diagnostic
2724        includes a valid counter-mate (in diagnostics_set_levels.F).
2725    o model/src (rStar):
2726      - add rStar scaling factor in diags_phi_hyd.F (similar to calc_grad_phi_hyd.F);
2727        affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS;
2728        update output of test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15.
2729    o pkg/seaice:
2730      - introduce siEps=1e-5 parameter
2731      - use areaMax in AREA update (part 4), consistent with ridging step (part 2.5).
2732      - re-organize SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET code.
2733      - introduce ALLOW_SITRACER and seaice_tracer_phys.F to handle generic seaice tracer.
2734        For now it covers, and was tested for, ice salinity and age (attached to HEFF),
2735        as well as ice cover age and ridging index (attached to AREA).
2736        For now the run time parameters (in data.seaice/SEAICE_PARM03) are
2737        SItrName (e.g. 'age') and SItrMate ('HEFF', which is the default, or 'AREA').
2738        Up to SItrMaxNum=3 tracers can be used simultaneously.
2739    o pkg/salt_plume:
2740      -introduce SPsalFRAC run time parameter that sets the fraction of the
2741       salt by-product of ice growth (SPsalFRAC*(1-SIsalFRAC)*salt typically)
2742       that gets vertically redistributed (fluxed down) by pkg/salt_plume.
2743    o model debug options:
2744      - Switch reading of debugMode from S/R INI_PARMS (parameter file "data", stored
2745        in PARAMS.h) to S/R EESET_PARMS (parameter file "eedata", stored in EEPARAMS.h).
2746      - Refine debug-msg printing selection (3 new levels):
2747        debugMode  : controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
2748        debugLevel : controls printing of algorithm-relevant auxiliary/debug messages
2749         debLevZero =  0 ; /* level of disabled aux. msg printing */
2750         debLevA =  1 ; /* level of minimum  aux. msg printing */
2751         debLevB =  2 ; /* level of low aux. print (report read-file opening)*/
2752         debLevC =  3 ; /* level of moderate debug prt (most pkgs debug msg) */
2753         debLevD =  4 ; /* level of enhanced debug prt (add DEBUG_STATS prt) */
2754         debLevE =  5 ; /* level of extensive debug printing */
2755        New debugLevel default: with default debugMode value (=F),
2756          = 2 (debLevB) or = 1 (debLevA) in case ALLOW_AUTODIFF is defined.;
2757          and if debugMode=T, default debugLevel = 4 (debLevD).
2758        Relation with previous settings:
2759         debLevB (=2) corresponds to former debLevA (=1)
2760         debLevD (=4) corresponds to former debLevB (=2)
2761        Note:
2762         a) if debugLevel=0, skip WRITE_GRID call when nIter0 > 0 (same as before);
2763         b) default debugLevel=1 is convenient in AD runs (avoid many file opening msgs);
2764            to recover previous default, set debugLevel=2 (e.g. AD-test hs94.1x64x5)
2765      - Add new parameter (printResidualFreq, read from PARM02 namelist) to print
2766        detailed CG solvers convergence; off (=0) by default, except if debugLevel=5.
2767    o pkg/obcs:
2768      - change OBCSfixTopo default from True to False (should not change the results);
2769        keep OBCSfixTopo=T in verification-exp. seaice_obcs.
2770    o pkg/thsice:
2771      - fix bug in thsice_calc_thickn.F (was introduced in version 1.18) in
2772        2nd layer seaice sublimation (unlikely to happen)
2773      - use Interior mask for OBCS in thsice_advection.F (similar to what is
2774        done in gad_advection & seaice_advection).
2775    o adjoint:
2776      bug fix spotted by Gael Forget:
2777      seaice_advection and thsice_advection still had
2778      legacy CPP options to avoid CS corner updates for adjoint
2779    o pkg/seaice:
2780      => Change some of the defaults (2011/05/29):
2781         - change SEAICEuseFluxForm default (from False to True)
2782         - change DIFF1 default (from 0.004 m/s to 0. m/s)
2783         And print warnings if DIFF1 is not set in data.seaice and centered
2784          avection scheme is used without any diffusion.
2785      also:
2786      - fix seaice_diffusion calls in default AdvScheme part of seaice_advdiff.F;
2787      - set SEAICEdiffKh[] default in the same way as SEAICEadvSch[]
2788      - stop if DIFF1<>0 with SEAICEadvScheme <> 2, if DIFF1<>0 with any
2789        other non-zero SEAICEdiffKh[] diffusivity, if SEAICEadvSalt=T with
2790        #undef SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY, if SEAICEadvAge=T with #undef SEAICE_AGE.
2791      update results of test exp.:
2792         lab_sea: output.fd (switch to AdvScheme=33 with diffKh=20)
2793             output.hb87, output_adm.evp (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T and diffKh=200)
2794             output_adm.noseaicedyn (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
2795         offline_exf_seaice: output.seaicetd, output_adm (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
2796         seaice_obcs: output (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
2797      and prescribe old default for SEAICEuseFluxForm (=F) and DIFF1 (=0.004)
2798          for standard fwd & AD lab_sea tests (to keep the same output).
2799    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
2800      - use Ian Fenty's capping formulas for actual ice
2801      thickness thoughout EVOLUTION branch.
2802      - put treatment pathological case #2) in CPP brackets
2803      (ALLOW_AVOID_INFINITESIMAL_AREA, undef by default).
2804      - update global_ocean.cs32x15 and 1D_ocean_ice_colum results accordingly.
2805    o pkg/seaice:
2806      - seaice_diffusion.F : remove the min(DX,DY) factor permanently;
2807      pass the Laplacian diffusivity (in m^2/s) diffKh as a parameter;
2808      also pass fac as a param, which can be 1. (to update the tendency
2809      field) or the time step (to update the field itself).
2810      - seaice_advdiff.F: for multidim, call seaice_diffusion with
2811      e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=1; for single-dim, call
2812      seaice_diffusion with e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=time step.
2813      - SEAICE_PARAMS.h, seaice_readparms.F, seaice_check.F :
2814      hooks to handle SEAICEdiffKhHeff, SEAICEdiffKhArea, etc.
2815    o pkg/seaice:
2816      diffusion with centered advection scheme (diffus.F & advect.F):
2817      - simplify S/R DIFFUS (put deltaT & DIFF1 factor outside, move EXCH outside)
2818        to just compute the laplacian of input-field.
2819      - unroll k loop (harmonic,biharmonic diff) in advect.F to save 1 exch call.
2820      - fix flux-form version in diffus.F to conserve tracer.
2821      update output of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 (1rst set of modif affects
2822       machine truncation) and lab_sea.salt_plume (conservative flux-form modif)
2823    
2824    checkpoint62y (2011/05/26)
2825    o pkg/seaice:
2826     - seaice_growth.F : in EVOLUTION branch, always include
2827       a_QSWbyATM_cover in qnet (as it should be).
2828     - verification/global_ocean.cs32x15 : update results accordingly
2829       (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt).
2830    o pkg/seaice + obcs:
2831     - use maskInW & maskInS in multi-dim advection and biharmonic diffusion:
2832       equivalent of assuming no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
2833       update output of seaice_obcs (uses DIFF1 <>0 => biharmonic diffusion)
2834     - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH calls (no longer needed
2835       after changes above);
2836     - obcs+seaice cleaning: apply seaice-tracer OB values to tracer field
2837       only at OB location (instead of over a band of OLx width).
2838    o pkg/seaice:
2839     - fix wrong indices in old (non Flux-Form) diffusion default S/R diffus.F
2840       (dxG(I+1, ...) changed to dxG(I, ...), no impact on Lat-Lon grid)
2841    o pkg/obcs:
2842      - split header file "OBCS.h" into 4 separated files:
2843        OBCS_PARAMS.h, OBCS_GRID.h, OBCS_FIELDS.h & OBCS_SEAICE.h
2844       Note: OBCS_PARAMS.h & OBCS_GRID.h can be included without OBCS_OPTIONS.h
2845         (contain no conditional statement which depends on OBCS options).
2846      - move "useOBCSYearlyFields" from "data.obcs" (hold in OBCS_PARAMS.h)
2847        to parameter file "data.exf", namelist EXF_NML_OBCS (in EXF_PARAM.h).
2848    o ctrl, cost, grdchk & autodiff pkgs:
2849      - make options file more standard (like other {PKG}_OPTIONS.h file but
2850        with AD_CONFIG.h); clean-up some of the included header files.
2851    o pkg/obcs:
2852      - do not mask tracer when applying OB (tracer == 0 could generate problems)
2853      - apply tracer OB values to tracer field only at OB location (instead of
2854        over a band of OLx width)
2855      - clean-up obcs_apply_w.F & obcs_apply_eta.F (since less calls to these S/R)
2856      - remove OBCS_MULTIDIM_OLD_VERSION code in gad_advection.F and remove
2857        obcs_apply_tloc.F & obcs_apply_sloc.F
2858    o obcs in model/src:
2859      - call OBCS_APPLY_W only if NonHydrostatic.
2860      - call OBCS_APPLY_ETA only if NonLinFreeSurf.
2861      - reset dEtaHdt and wVel to zero outside OB interior region ;
2862      - leave tracer unchanged outside OB interior region: This has no effect
2863        on the solution but just to prevent unrealistic tracer value outside OB.
2864      - zero out velocity outside OB interior region: This has no effect on
2865        the solution but just to prevent unrealistic velocity outside OB.
2866    o obcs and non-lin free-surf:
2867       move call to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR from update_r_star.F to calc_r_star.F
2868       and call to OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR from update_surf_dr.F to calc_surf_dr.F
2869       + add argument "etaFld" to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR & OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR:
2870       this fixes missing EXCH + get consistent eta OB value (+ fix restart).
2871       update results of test-exp. exp4(nlfs).
2872    o exp4 (nlfs) test-exp:
2873       use OBC for Eta at Western & Eastern OB (to test prescribing Eta
2874       with NonLin-FreeSurf); update output.nlfs.txt
2875    o obcs and 2d/3d solver norm:
2876       use interior masks (maskInC) to cancel out cg2d & cg3d matrix coeff at OB
2877       and outside OB interior region (will allow to place OB further inside the
2878       domain). Depending on the domain, can affects cg2d-Norm (previous
2879       cancellation outside OB was only partial), e.g. in exp4 & obcs_ctrl,
2880       and cg3d-Norm (previous Norm was computed before canceling OB terms),
2881       e.g. in tutorial_plume_on_slope.
2882      - update output of exp.: exp4 (x2), obcs_ctrl and tutorial_plume_on_slope.
2883    o pkg rbcs:
2884      - split RBCS.h into 3 files: RBCS_SIZE.h, RBCS_PARAMS.h & RBCS_FIELDS.h
2885      - add capability to apply relaxation to horizontal velocity uVel & vVel.
2886    o pkg/grdchk: add gradient check for control variable xx_shifwflx
2887    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_init_fixed.F
2888      fix CPP-flag combinations
2889    o pkg/seaice: Merge iceage code of Pierre Rampal
2890      * update/change/correct ice age calculations
2891      * add age updates for pathological cases
2892      Probably needs more testing...
2893    
2894    checkpoint62x (2011/05/13)
2895    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
2896       high-order vorticity scheme: use interior masks (maskInW & S)
2897       to zero-out (outside OB) gradient of vorticity.
2898    o verification exp.:
2899       turn on "useEnergyConservingCoriolis" (better discretisation) in exp.
2900       hs94.128x64x5 and seaice_obcs ; update results.
2901    o pkg/obcs:
2902      fix bug in OBeta for YZ sections in obcs_exf_load.F
2903    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/shelfice, and optim:
2904      - add new control variable xx_shifwflx (fresh water flux underneath ice
2905        shelves). This is almost as tedious as obcs-ctrl, because the
2906        variables needs its own mask.
2907      - add a cost function term that penalizes the deviation of xx_shifwflx
2908        from the first guess (zero) in analogy to other control variables
2909    o pkg/shelfice:
2910      - start basic adjoint
2911    o pkg/ctrl:
2912      - remove extra 2D field "for good measure" when initializing in
2913        ctrl_set_globfld_[xy/xz/yz].F
2914      - replace hard coded precision 32 (a bug) in ctrl_map_ini_gen by ctrlprec
2915      - improve error messages in ctrl_set_unpack_*
2916    o OBC implementation in momentum:
2917       use interior masks (maskInC,W & S) in momentum S/R:
2918       - multiply divergence, tension and some del^i.u or del^j.v by maskInC
2919       - multiply del2u,del2v by maskInW/S (biharmonic viscosity)
2920       - multiply horiz. grad of vorticity by maskInW/S (in Leith scheme)
2921       - multiply gradient of wVel by maskInW/S in del2w calculation (NonHyd)
2922       Motivation: fix/clean implementation of OBC with biharmonic-viscosity
2923        (and also with Leith/Smagorinsky harmonic-viscosity).
2924       Update output of experiment dome and exp4 (+nlfs).
2925    o exp4 test-exp:
2926      - turn on: nonHydrostatic, exactConserv, viscA4 (with momDissip_In_AB=F)
2927        and prescribe time-varying OB (without pkg/exf) for zonal-velocity
2928        at Western & Eastern Boundaries (+/- 1 per-cent); Also prescribe
2929        time-varying OB at Western-side for wVel (NonHyd); update output.
2930      - add secondary set-up (.nlfs) using NonLin FreeSurf (z*) + mom_vecinv
2931        and biharmonic-viscosity ; also use prescribed time varying OB.
2932    o pkg/obcs:
2933      fix bug in OBWeta,OBWeta indices in obcs_apply_r_star.F
2934    o model/src:
2935      - fix startTime setting when baseTime<>0 & nIter0=0 are specified ;
2936      - initialise startTime & nIter0 with unlikely values: allows to set one
2937        from the other without ambiguity.
2938    o seaice_obcs test-exp.:
2939      add small diffK4T,S to test biharmonic diffusivity with OBCS ; update output.
2940    o pkg/obcs:
2941      - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH for T,S & pTracer:
2942        no longer needed with maskInC,W,S in pkg/generic_advdiff.
2943    o pkg/seaice:
2944      - retired SEAICE_SALINITY and SEAICE_salinity in favor of
2945        SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY and SIsalFRAC, respectively.
2946      - fixed bug in the initialization of sea ice salinity variable HSALT
2947        in seaice_init_varia.F  (removed dependence on ICE2WATR)
2948    o fizhi-cs test exp.:
2949       switch reference output convention for these 2 non-standard test-exp,
2950        from: pgi  6.1-5 on faulks (FC.6, -of linux_ia32_pgf77+authors_fc5)
2951          to: ifort 11.1 on baudelaire (FC.13, -of linux_amd64_ifort11)
2952       reason: faulks might get retired soon and pkg/fizhi has still Pb with gfortran
2953    o model/inc:
2954      - change type of PmEpR array (from _RS to _RL) to fix restart (with "-use_r4")
2955        of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15 (Suncronous time-stepping + Real-FW + NonLin-FS)
2956    o pkg/seaice:
2957      - fix calculation of saltFlux and saltPlumeFlux when using SEAICE_SALINITY
2958    o verification/lab_sea, 1D_ocean_ice_column, seaice_obcs, global_ocean.cs32x15
2959      - updated output*.txt files due to bug fixes in salt, saltPlumeFlux,
2960        and initial HSALT
2961    
2962    checkpoint62w (2011/04/26)
2963    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
2964      - fix calculation of del2u & del2v (no-slip BC) when using Non-Lin Free-Surf.
2965      - use parameter "sideDragFactor" in no-slip BC side-drag part.
2966      - update output of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
2967    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
2968      mask del2u & del2v (no effect on results, but cleaner & closer to mom_fluxform)
2969    o update seaice exp.:
2970      use more consistent parameter values (remove "backward compatability only":
2971       ICE2WATR, SEAICE_lhSublim, SEAICE_cpAir, SEAICE_rhoAir + set rhoConstFresh)
2972      related to thermodynamics seaice. Update output (fwd+AD) of exp.:
2973       1D_ocean_ice_column (x2), lab_sea (x8), ioffline_exf_seaice (x2) & seaice_obcs
2974    o update test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15:
2975      o use default CD_CODE_OPTIONS file (Adams-Bashforth on CD Mom & Coriolis).
2976      o increase Overlap size from 2 to 3 (to allow to test bi-harmonic Visc.)
2977      o new pickup-files from a 100.yr run with pkg/down_slope (input.dwnslp params)
2978      o turn on zStar & viscA4 in standard set-up (dir input/)
2979        and update output files: output.txt & output.dwnslp.txt
2980    o new AD-test experiment: obcs_ctrl
2981      (From Matt MITgcm_Contrib/SOSE/BoxAdj) to test OBCS as control vector.
2982    o pkg/dic:
2983      fix two bugs in handling water vapour pressure in carbonate chemistry
2984      and air-sea fluxes. Found by Val Bennington and Galen McKinley
2985      (add DIC Option = WATERVAP_BUG to recover old results)
2986      update output of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (fwd+AD) & tutorial_dic_adjoffline
2987    o adding allowInteriorFreezing option to check for water below freezing point
2988      at depth and bring the negative heat anomaly to the surface level
2989    o pkgs _fields_load:
2990      - extend GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to deal with non-periodic case (from pkg/rbcs)
2991      - use new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL in pkgs:
2992        bulk_force, cheapaml, cfc, dic, obcs (+ ctrl/ctrl_get_gen_rec), offline and
2993        rbcs to get interpolation weights and time reccord number.
2994      - fix multi-threading in aim_fields_load.F
2995      - apply EXCH to temp arrays [0,1] after reading in dic_fields_load.F
2996    o external_fields_load:
2997      new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to calculate which time-record (and linear
2998       interpolation weights) to use in a periodic time-series ; do not divide by
2999       time-step to convert to integer:
3000       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is not multiple of time-step
3001          (Thanks to Christopher L. Wolfe)
3002       - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is an odd multiple of time-step
3003         (was wrong by half of time-step); update results of tutorial_global_oce_in_p.
3004      store index of time-record which is currently loaded:
3005       - works without any assumption on sequence of calls to EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD ;
3006       - needed for the adjoint but not yet used because of extensive recomputations;
3007         (to be fixed soon)
3008    
3009    checkpoint62v (2011/04/02)
3010    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column added to test Ian Fenty's
3011      pkg/seaice_growth.F modifications for improving sea ice code differentiability
3012    o update output of exp4, internal_wave, seaice_obcs, tutorial_plume_on_slope
3013      (new velocity statistics after changing maskInW & maskInS definition)
3014    o pkg/generic_advdiff with OBCS:
3015      use maksInW & maskInS in advective flux and in biharmonic diffusion calculation:
3016      equivalent to assumption of no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
3017      This will affect the results if using obcs+biharmonic diffusion.
3018      update output_adm.txt of experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5 (not expected since no obc)
3019    o pkg/obcs:
3020      change definition of maskInW & maskInS: leave OB edges inside (maskIn=1)
3021      (e.g., maskInW(OB_Ie)=1 ) so that velocity normal-component at OB is still
3022      in Interior region. No impact on solution but affects Velocity monitor stats.
3023    o pkg/ptracers (adjoint)
3024      New option AUTODIFF_PTRACERS_SPLIT_FILES for writing separate
3025      tape file for each tracer
3026    o model/inc/src and pkg/autodiff: add parameters that allow to turn
3027      of parts of the adjoint code at run time. For now, there are only
3028      useKPPinAdMode, useGMrediInAdMode, and useSEAICEinAdMode. These
3029      parameters are set in data.pkg.
3030      This is the lazy coward's version of doing this, but still useful for
3031      debugging. In order to do it right, everything needs to be moved to
3032      pkg/autodiff.
3033    o pkg/autodiff: fix global_sum_tile_ad.F by resetting adsumPhi at
3034      the end; this fixes the adjoint balancing code for open boundaries.
3035    o pkg/ctrl:
3036      - change behavior of xx_${varname}period to be analogous to exf-conventions:
3037        xx_${varname}period =   0.,  means time-independent control part
3038        xx_${varname}period = -12., means one-year-periodic monthly control part
3039      - introduce helper routine ctrl_init_rec (part of ctrl_init.F) to
3040        clean up ctrl_init a little, remove unused variables
3041      - ctrl_init: fixed the handling of the start/endrec for obcs-variables
3042      - move "call cal_GetMonthsRec" from s/r ctrl_get_gen to s/r ctrl_get_gen_rec
3043    
3044    checkpoint62u (2011/03/15)
3045    o model/src:
3046      - for the adjoint, change NonLin-FreeSurf initialisation sequence: fill-in
3047        h0Fac from INITIALISE_FIXED and reset hFac to h0Fac in INITIALISE_VARIA ;
3048      - in initialise_varia.F (except for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL) remove 2nd call to
3049        INI_DEPTHS, INI_MASKS_ETC & INI_LINEAR_PHISURF.
3050    o pkg/ctrl/obcs/ecco:
3051      - remove obsolete, unused, and partially broken code:
3052        ctrl_obcsvol/ctrl_obcsbal/ctrl_volflux and code within
3053        ALLOW_CTRL_OBCS_BALANCE
3054      - put a stop statement into ecco/cost_obcsvol.F, but also add
3055        cost_obcsvol to ecco_ad_diff.list
3056    o pkg/ecco: fix counting cost function contributions for obcs (code
3057      by Matt M.) and diffkr for diagnostics
3058    o pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk:
3059      add cost penalty terms for initial uvel, vvel, eta controls
3060      and I/O for prior error files
3061    o pkg/mdsio:
3062       move mds_check4file.F from eesupp/src to mdsio_check4file.F ; add option
3063       (new argument) to check for tiled file in mdsioLocalDir : this fix the
3064       restart from pickup_som , pickup_dic (& dic_co2atm) with mdsioLocalDir.
3065    o pkg/ctrl:
3066     - ctrl_obcsbal.F, ctrl_obcsvol.F: replace last calls of ctrl_getrec by
3067       ctrl_get_gen_rec, put a stop statement into ctrl_getrec. Remove
3068       unused and superfluous variables
3069     - ctrl_get_gen_rec.F: catch the case of xx_genperiod=0.
3070    o pkg/ecco
3071     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
3072    o pkg/ctrl/ecco/grdchk:
3073      - remove global declaration of tmpfldx/yz and tmpfldx/yz2.
3074        Fortunately, we do not have any tests for the numerous cpp-flagged
3075        option of "obcs as control parameters" so we will never know
3076        if this is an improvement (but at least now things compile).
3077      - remove an obsolete initialization from ecco_cost_init_barfiles.F
3078      - fix some problems within never used ifdefs to make the code compile
3079    o pkg/obcs:
3080     - Refine Interior mask definition to work with more complex OB (e.g.
3081       if OB_Ie < OB_Iw); In case default setting is not sufficient, allows to
3082       read in Interior mask from file. Check if Interior mask is consistent
3083       with OB list of indices.
3084    o pkg/seaice
3085     - beginning code for a seaice tracer package,
3086       but currently only used for seaice age: SEAICE_AGE
3087       SEAICE_num = 4
3088       iTracer = 1: area-weighted ice age
3089               = 2: volume-weighted ice age
3090               = 3, 4: template for one-year vs. multi-year ice
3091       data.seaice has new namelist SEAICE_PARM03 for arrays related to
3092       SEAICE_num
3093    
3094    checkpoint62t (2011/03/05)
3095    o pkg/obcs:
3096     - obcs_apply_uv.F: change to a 2 steps method, first tangential component;
3097       then normal component. This ensures that the normal component is set
3098       correctly even when it conficts with tangential setting from an other OB.
3099       Affects results of test-experiment seaice_obcs: update the output.txt
3100    o pkg/obcs:
3101     - add code to monitor statistics of dynamical fields at OB.
3102     - take OBCS_BALANCE code out of obcs_calc.F into new S/R OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW :
3103       - fix to OBCS_BALANCE code (right hFac ; deal with simple OB intersection).
3104       - change default: balance the Net inflow through all OB (instead of balancing
3105         each OB separately); keep the old method if setting OBC_balanceFacX < 0.
3106     - switch on useOBCSbalance in dome experiment: only correct Western OB outflow
3107       to match Nortern OB inflow (OBCS_balanceFacN=0).
3108    o pkg/seaice:
3109     - redefined actual sea ice age to be ICEAGE/HEFF ifdef SEAICE_AGE_VOL
3110    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.113):
3111     - reverting seaice_growth to v 1.111 in order to have code with exact bit
3112       compatibility with MITgcm_contrib/ifenty/Fenty_seaice_thermo_code_merge
3113       CPP option SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA removed in v 1.112 is reintroduced
3114       runtime flag SEAICEareaFormula is kept but is inactive
3115    o model/src:
3116     - add new param to scale curvilinear grid distance and area when using
3117       a different sphere radius from the grid-files.
3118     - test/check multi-threads EXCH applied to local variable (cg2d_x)
3119    o adjoint:
3120     - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
3121     - add dummy_in_dynamics to enable extraction of ADJrhoinsitu
3122       (a bit delicate because of potentially modified adj. common block structure;
3123       current switch is ALLOW_AUTODIFF_MONITOR_DIAG, could be changed later)
3124    
3125    checkpoint62s (2011/02/15)
3126    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.112):
3127     - introduce SEAICEareaFormula run time parameter, which selects the recipe for
3128       computing the ice cover tendency from effective thickness tendencies. Include
3129       Ian Fenty's formula.
3130     - remove 'undef SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA' which may now be achieved using
3131       SEAICEareaFormula.
3132     - simplify notations for the various d_HEFF/d_AREA terms.
3133    o pkg/gmredi:
3134     - add Boundary-Value-Problem bolus transport (Ferrari etal, OM 2010) code
3135       from Christopher Wolfe (UCSD); add partial cell factor in vertical derivative;
3136       add a verification test-run (front_relax.bvp) to test GM_useBVP.
3137    o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.111):
3138     - for SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH, replace Gael's implementation with Ian's.
3139     - the new SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_MELT allows open-water air-sea heat fluxes to
3140       also melt ice.
3141    o pkg/seaice:
3142     - McPhee formula for Ice-Ocean fluxes (provided by Ian Fenty).
3143     - can be used by #define MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
3144    o pkg/cheapaml:
3145     - from Nico Wienders: New version of this package.
3146    o pkg/flt:
3147     - add CPP options to prevent floats to re-enter the opposite side of
3148       a periodic domain (default: keep periodicity)
3149    o pkg/gmredi:
3150     - apply exchange to GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY to get valid values near CS-corners
3151       (needed for multi-dim advection).
3152     - switch on GM Advective form in global_ocean.cs32x15 and update output.txt
3153    o model/src:
3154     - fix wrong re-setting of addMass array (ALLOW_ADDFLUID) for atmospheric run.
3155    o tutorial_tracer_adjsens
3156     - extend to NLFS and replace maskC by hFacC
3157       (change reference output accordingly)
3158    
3159    checkpoint62r (2011/01/24)
3160    o testreport:
3161     - add option -deloutp (-do) to remove output file after successful run
3162     - add option -mfile (-mf) for MPI machile-file and for each test-exp,
3163       extract exact list of procs from this file ; adjust COMMAND by
3164       replacing TR_MFILE & TR_NPROC with local machile-file & Nb of MPI procs.
3165    o pkg/ecco: replace old ineffective way of penalizing deviations from
3166      first guess (of obcs) with code by Matt Mazloff
3167    o pkg/ctrl: add code that allows the use of ALLOW_OBCS?_CONTROL without
3168      exf/cal
3169      - ctrl_init: fix initialisation (computation of diffrec) for obcs-ctrl
3170        and handle case of obcs?period == 0
3171        Not affected by these changes: There is still an inconsistency in
3172        the computation of start/endrec for the obcs variables for ALLOW_CAL
3173        defined (see comment by Menemenlis, 7-Mar-2003)
3174      - make S/R ctrl_get_gen_rec return something meaningful even if
3175        ALLOW_CAL is not defined
3176      - ctrl_getobcs?: simplify code so that it does not need to use
3177                       S/R exf_swapfields
3178    o testreport:
3179       allow to test MPI with different number of processors for each experiment:
3180       create file "SIZE.h.mpi" in each build dir.
3181       Note: update of "-command" argument not yet implemented.
3182    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ecco, pkg/seaice:
3183      alleviate the need for additional 3D tapes when using
3184      the non-inear free surface in the adjoint. This is done
3185      by adding an 'update' of hfacc etc. to their current
3186      value at the beginning of forward_step.F.
3187    o pkg/seaice
3188      seaice_lsr: move stress-divergence computations out of outer pseudo-
3189      timestepping loop
3190    o pkg/obcs/obcs_prescribe_read.F: move 'CALL OBCS_EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD'
3191      up, so that the calls of the ctrl_* subroutines are really at the end
3192      of the routine.
3193    o pkg/gmredi:
3194      allow to specify a 2-D horizontal map and a 1-D vertical profil
3195      as scaling factor for Isopycnal diffusivity (Redi) and GM diffusivity.
3196    o pkg/seaice:
3197      move lsr iterations from seaice_dynsolver to seaice_lsr.
3198    o pkg/seaice:
3199      reduce memory footprint of seaice mutldim advection tapes,
3200      by using a 2D tape independent of the generic_advdiff ones,
3201      and setting GAD_AREA=1 etc. rather than GAD_AREA=101 etc.
3202    
3203    checkpoint62q (2010/12/29)
3204    o model/src:
3205      - check horizontal grid-spacing for unset or zero/negative values.
3206      - change AD test hs94.1x64x5 to be truly a 2-D set-up.
3207    o pkg/flt:
3208      - use (recent) mdsio S/R MDS_READVEC_LOC instead of local FLT_MDSREADVECTOR
3209      - precision of input and output files set according to readBinaryPrec
3210        and writeBinaryPrec (previously always 64.b), pickup remains at 64 bits.
3211      - initial float position from tiled file was not converted to index space
3212        (looks like a bug): fixed to make it similar to initial pos. global file.
3213    o global_ocean.cs32x15:
3214       change SIZE.h of AD set-up to get same tiling as with MPI.
3215       Update output_adm, output_adm.thsice (pass@14) & output_adm.seaice (fail@11)
3216    o model/src:
3217       add flag to control printing of domain fields (bathymetry, hFac ...) in
3218       ini_mask_etc (call to plot_fieds_xy*).
3219    o pkg/thsice:
3220       if useEXF, some forcing fields are not valid in overlap: fixed by computing
3221       over the interior only + apply EXCH at the end (like with SEAICE advection).
3222    o pkg/mdsio:
3223      - add 2 arguments to S/R MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL/S for overlap size of buffer
3224        to copy to/from, so that it can be used to replace MDS_PASS_WH_R8toRL/RS.
3225      - change barrier call for safe multi-threads access to 3-D shared buffer.
3226      - MDS_READ/WRITEVEC_LOC use buffers from MDSIO_BUFF_3D.h (instead of local ones)
3227      - replace call to MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL with call to MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL and
3228        remove the 4 S/R MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL/S.
3229    o pkg/flt:
3230      - add fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration
3231      - add basic exch2 support (only 1 facet supported so far!)
3232    o pkg/mdsio+rw:
3233      new S/R to read local (or tile independent) vector (read counterpart of
3234       mds_writevec_loc, and front-end write_glvec_rl/rs).
3235    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input_ad.seaice experiment
3236        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
3237        (using multidim advection for seaice)
3238    o towards more F95 syntax for array specification in namelist:
3239      - change "data.diagnostics" (data.ptracers was changed before checkpoint62p)
3240        of all verification experiments.
3241           e.g.:    line: fields(1,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
3242          was changed to: fields(1:2,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
3243      - finish adding "-DNML_EXTENDED_F77" to DEFINES list in pgf77 and g77 optfiles
3244    o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input.seaice experiment
3245        that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
3246    
3247    checkpoint62p (2010/12/17)
3248    o pkg/thsice: rename (ad tape index) iicekey as ticekey, and move it
3249        to THSICE_SIZE.h to avoid conflict with pkg/seaice.
3250    o pkg/seaice: add seaice_diffusion.f seaice_map_thsice.f to adjoint.
3251        allow for use of multim. advection in seaice adjoint.
3252    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for snow precipitation and sublimation flux
3253      - first attempt to close budgets by taking into account the freshwater
3254        flux implied by the sublimation of snow and ice. So far only the
3255        volume budget is closed, turn on with soon-to-be-retired-again CPP-Flag
3256        SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET
3257    o eesupp/src:
3258      new S/R with new option (NML_EXTENDED_F77) to change array specification
3259      from F95 standard to commonly accepted extended F77 form.
3260      This would allow to use F95 syntax in namelist (needed with gfortran 4.4.5)
3261      and to revert back to the original syntax (with -DNML_EXTENDED_F77)
3262      for less tolerant f77 compiler (e.g., pgf77, g77).
3263    o globalFiles:
3264      commented out in parameter file "data" since it's not safe with MPI
3265      (e.g., wrong on aces); keep it if useSingleCpuIO=T (but not doing much
3266      in this case); no longer commented out in restart test (tst_2+2).
3267    o add adTapeDir to specify a special directory where adjoint tapes are
3268      written/read (adread_adwrite.F). adTapeDir is specified in data/PARM05
3269      and cannot be used together with mdsioLocalDir.
3270    o nesting pkgs:
3271      - packages_init_variables : put call to OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES in last position
3272      - update Gianmaria's Nesting pkgs (from Contrib/nesting_sannino)
3273      - add parameter files + utils dir + output from short run on beagle.
3274    o pkg/seaice:
3275        fix seaice_growth.F store directives; update results of exp. lab_sea.ad
3276    o pkg/seaice: explicitly store tsurfloc in seaice_solve4temp.F to avoid
3277      unnecessary copying in adjoint code, requires new parameter NMAX_ITER
3278    
3279    checkpoint62o (2010/11/25)
3280    o pkg/exf:
3281      - change CPP option EXF_VERBOSE to run-time logical param exf_verbose.
3282    o pkg/seaice:
3283      - seaice_ocean_stress: split a loop for better vectorization of the
3284        adjoint code
3285      - seaice_growth.F: fix bug in conservation of freshwater connected to
3286        capping of heff, put contribution into d_HEFFbyNEG
3287      - replace irritating parameters SEAICE_latentWater/Ice and SEAICE_sensHeat
3288        by something more sensible (parameters that are what their name implies)
3289      - change some defaults, so that by default exf-parameters are used for
3290        things like rhoAir, cpAir,latent/sensible heat parameters, in order
3291        to reproduce the old results, many data.seaice now contain funny values
3292        for cpAir and latent heat of sublimation
3293    o packages_readparms.F: move exf_readparms up in line so that
3294        exf-parameters are visible for other packages (e.g. seaice)
3295    o debugMode & debugLevel=2:
3296      - differentiate between debugMode & debugLevel=2:
3297        debugMode: controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
3298        debugLevel: controls printing of algorithm intermediate results and stats.
3299      - remove "if debugLevel=2 => debugMode" but keep "debugMode =>  debugLevel=2";
3300        => allows to print debug-stats without all sequence of call messages.
3301      - switch control of debug print from debugLevel to debugMode in many S/R.
3302    o pkg/obcs (obcs-sponge):
3303        fix bug that was introduced on Oct 25 (in dynamics.F v1.151): put back the
3304        call to OBCS_PRESCRIBE_EXCHANGES (need to exch gU,gV when using obcs-sponge)
3305    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
3306      - record overlap minimum size for each advection scheme;
3307      - refine criteria on overlap minimum size;
3308      - check and stop (in gad_check) if overlap size is too small.
3309    o pkg/obcs:
3310      - with ptracers: remove multiple calls to obcs_apply_ptracer (only done
3311        once, in ptracers_implicit.F)
3312      - with seaice: remove test on empty file name in obcs_apply_seaice (always
3313        apply OB values when tile has OB)
3314    o model/src, coriolis setting:
3315      - integer parameter "selectCoriMap" (=0,1,2) replaces 3 logical
3316        useConstantF, useBetaPlaneF, useSphereF ; can now read coriolis from
3317        files (selectCoriMap=3) with any grid.
3318      - add parameter "fPrime" for constant second Coriolis coeff (default=0).
3319    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
3320        a few cosmetic changes that reduce the number of lines of code
3321    o pkg/obcs: add boundary conditions following Stevens (1990)
3322      - the code follows old MOM/NAOSIM code
3323      - so far it is only implemented for the eastern and western boundaries
3324        and NOT for pTracers
3325    o pkg/rbcs:
3326      - replace rbcsInIter by rbcsForcingOffset, the time in seconds at the
3327        beginning of the first rbcs forcing period.
3328      - add option rbcsSingleTimeFiles that makes rbcs read forcing data like the
3329        offline package, i.e., one file per time, labeled by iteration number;
3330        deltaTrbcs sets the timestep with which the data was generated;
3331        rbcsIter0 is the forcing iteration corresponding to rbcsForcingOffset.
3332      - rbcsForcingCycle=0 makes forcing non-cyclic.
3333      - make arithmetic safe for negative times and odd forcing periods.
3334    
3335    checkpoint62n (2010/11/09)
3336    o pkg/seaice:
3337        fix masking in free-drift S/R ; update results of exp. lab_sea.fd
3338    o pkg/obcs:
3339       New S/R to copy tracer value from the OB location to narrow band region
3340        (width = same as overlap) beyond the OB: preserve OB value (needed for
3341        high-order scheme) which were overwritten by EXCH call if in overlap
3342        region. Applied to theta, salt, ptracer and advected seaice variables.
3343       With seaice: use maskInC in similar way as in gad_advection.F,
3344        in seaice_advection.F and advect.F.
3345       Update output of experiment seaice_obcs and change exp4 to test OBCS with
3346        4th order Adv.Scheme. for pasive salt and ptracer.
3347    o tools/genmake2:
3348      - when looking for an optfile (not specified), only search for Fortran compiler
3349        (remove sym-link test + setting of CPP + makedepend check + C-compiler check)
3350      - in get_fortran_c_namemangling: use "$CC $CFLAG" to compile C test programm
3351        (instead of "$MAKE genmake_test.o" since an existing Makefile can be wrong)
3352      - set default for CPP to "cpp -traditional -P" (was the case without specifying
3353        an optfile, but otherwise default was just "cpp".
3354      - comment out PLATFORM=$p_PLATFORM (no idea where p_PLATFORM comes from)
3355      - when "CC" is not set in the optfile, look for possible C compiler
3356        (instead of just setting CC=cc)
3357      - put back version v.169 modif (from 2008/02/15), was dropped in v.173 changes:
3358        => add a ".F" to ".o" rule for source files with no "#include" (such as
3359           port_rand.F); otherwise, default ignores FOPTIM and just uses FFLAGS.
3360      - move gfortran before g77 in list of possible Fortran compiler (consistent
3361        with reference compiler switch from g77 to gfortran)
3362    o pkg/seaice:
3363      o remove SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION-code, add a test to
3364        seaice_check that stops the model, when the CPP flag is used.
3365      o seaice_growth.F: make capping of ice volume conserving by returning the
3366        capped ice as freshwater to EmPmR. This does not change the verification
3367        experiments but will change runs where the capping is acutally active
3368    o change reference platform+compiler from faulks+g77 to baudelaire+gfortran
3369      (except the 2 fizhi test exp.); update output of exp.: bottom_ctrl_5x5,
3370         global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn, thsice, AD thsice), global_ocean_ebm (AD),
3371         lab_sea (fd, hb87, salt_plume), MLAdjust (3/5) and vermix (dd)
3372    o tools/genmake2:
3373      - merge genmake_warnings & genmake_errors into 1 log file: "genmake.log")
3374      - change DUMPSTATE default to false (can use "-ds" option to switch it to T)
3375      - clean previous genmake log files before anything else.
3376      - change Makefile to remove testreport log files (*.tr_log) and genmake log
3377        files only with "CLEAN" target (instead of "Clean");
3378    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
3379      Change OBCS in multiDim advection (gad_advection.F):
3380       Use maskInC to prevent intermediate update of tracer-field in OB regions,
3381       thus keeping current-time-step OB values; and remove the call to OBCS_APPLY
3382       which were applying future time-step OB values.
3383      This way, all explicit calculations use current-time-step OB values
3384       (simpler and more consistent).
3385      Affects results when set-up uses time-varying OBC and multi-dim advection;
3386       update output of experiment seaice_obcs.
3387    o pkg/seaice:
3388      move OPTIONS (formerly locally defined) to SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
3389       this includes SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY (+ SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH &
3390         SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA ) and SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
3391      Default (pkg/seaice/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h) is to define SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
3392       but leave SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY undef ; For now, keep verification exp
3393       unchanged (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY defined in */code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
3394    o pkg aim (2010/10/26):
3395      - Introduce ALLOW_INSOLATION, moving toward a more general incoming solar radiation
3396        formulation with obliquity, eccentricity, ... as run-time parameters,
3397      - Introduce diagnostics for top-of-the-atmaophere incoming solar radiation and
3398        upward shortwave radition at the surface (all-sky and clear-sky).
3399    o pkg/obcs:
3400      - writing sections with globalFiles=T does not work: switch to tiled-files
3401        when writing sections for OBCS (change pkg/rw/write_rec.F accordingly).
3402      - fix index bug (OB_Ie -> OB_Iw_) in obcs_apply_uvice.F
3403      - apply OBCS_SEAICE_COMPUTE_UVICE to both uice and vice at all obcs
3404    
3405    checkpoint62m (2010/10/21)
3406    o pkg/seaice: vectorize seaice_solve4temp.F
3407      - move iterations loops outside of i/j-loops
3408      - requires 2D arrays for TB and effConduct
3409      - add 2D iceOrNot to replace HICE_ACTUAL.GT.0, as HICE_ACTUAL is
3410        modified in this routine
3411      - a little bit of clean up, adjusting indentation, etc.
3412      - replaced a few TEN**a by exp(a*log(10.)) in new code for better
3413        performance and '**TWO' by '**2' (because TWO is a float),
3414        replaced ONE, ZERO
3415    o eesupp/src:
3416       fix flow dir for exch1_z_RX_cube, exch1_uv_RX_cube & exch1_bg_RX_cube
3417    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
3418      Revision 1.89 of seaice_growth.F completes the overall october 2010 revision and
3419      merging process. The merged routine has two branches, and one activates the 'evolution'
3420      branch by setting SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY to undef (at the top of the routine for now).
3421      In summary, here is what the '10/10 revision' did consist of
3422        part 1: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.71 to 1.75
3423          - Preliminary seaice_growth.F clean-up, keeping test results strictly unchanged.
3424            The emphasis here was on improving readability (e.g. by trying to use meaningful
3425            variable names) and modularity (e.g. by adding arrays to store heff etc. updates).
3426        part 1.5:
3427          - revising the lab_sea experiment to make it a more useful (i.e. stable
3428            and representative of an actual model run). This was done by generating a
3429            (winter) pickup to start from, switching back the main experiment dynamic
3430            solver from evp to lsr, having one of the experiments use the free drift solution.
3431        part 2: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.76 to 1.85
3432          - Sorting out hard-coded constants that prevented heat and fresh water conservation.
3433          - Sorting out the various fields units and sign (set early on and reset at the end)
3434            to avoid numerous scalings/re-scalings. By v1.85 the basic unit for ice, heat and
3435            fresh water stock is 'effective ice meters', and >0 implies more ice/snow.
3436          - Using tendency terms arrays (d_HEFF* etc.) to alleviate remaining code locks,
3437            and simplifying logical expressions to further improve readibility.
3438        part 3: seaice_growth.F revisions 1.86 to 1.89
3439          - Re-organize the blocks of code more logically.
3440          - Merging the '_if.F' pieces that add something new.
3441    o pkg/thsice:
3442      - vectorize thsice_solve4temp and thsice_get_exf.
3443        Problem: thsice_solve4temp has an unvectorizable statement that
3444        might also be problematic for TAF
3445      - thsice_get_exf: add the ALLOW_BULK_LARGEYEAGER04 CPP-flag. This
3446        does not change the verifcation experiment, but will change all
3447        experiments that have this flag undefined (not tested in verification);
3448        a little reorganization to save a few 2D fields and recomputations
3449      - 1st step of revisiting thsice adjoint (major recomp. sorted out)
3450      - 2nd step:  fix some store dirs
3451        o seems to work somewhat, i.e. using ifort but not g77
3452        o likely cause are incomplete init. or recomputation
3453        o start verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input_ad.thsice
3454    o pkg/obcs: add support for exch2
3455      - the position of the boundary and prescribed values are specified using
3456        a global domain with exch2 facets stacked
3457        - in x for N,S boundaries (like W2_mapIO=-1)
3458        - in y for E,W boundaries (so E,W boundaries do not overlap)
3459    o pkg/mdsio: add support for writing global sections with exch2
3460        file layout is as for obcs described above:
3461        - for x-z sections, facets are stacked in x (like W2_mapIO=-1)
3462        - for y-z sections, facets are stacked in y
3463    o pkg/thsice:
3464       - change a few routines for better vectorization: thsice_albedo.F,
3465         thsice_step_temp.F, and in thsice_calc_thickn.F. Results are
3466         not affected, but in particular the latter routine has changed
3467         dramatically (not necessarily easier to read now).
3468       - re-arrange calculation in THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP: move outside of i,j loops
3469       iteration loop and call to S/R THSICE_GET_BULKF & THSICE_GET_EXF.
3470    o verification/lab_sea:
3471      - overhaul of the forward model experiments. The main motivation
3472        for this revision is that lab_sea has proven quite fragile (when
3473        changing the sea-ice code, and switching platforms) to a point
3474        when failures were very hard to attribute to specific code problems.
3475      - the suspected reason for this fragility is noise amplification by evp so,
3476        to start with, we decided to replace evp with lsr in the main experiment.
3477      - the input.lsr experiment thus became obsolete and was removed.
3478      - it was replaced with the input.fd experiment that uses an
3479        analytical "free drift" solution as the ice velocity field.
3480      - Taken together, input (lsr), input.fd (free drift) and input.hb87 (evp)
3481        will hopefully allow us to discriminate problems due to dynamic solvers
3482        from problems due to the thermodynamic code. input.salt_plume (lsr) allows
3483        us to test additional options, along with the salt plume package.
3484      - Finally a pickup was generated (at the end of a one year run) to
3485        make the tests more representative of an actual model run. Previously
3486        the tests starting point was a 1m thickness of ice everywhere.
3487    o pkg/seaice:
3488      - introducing S\R seaice_freedrift.F that compute the
3489        analytical solution to an approximate ice momentum
3490        equation (i.e. the simple stress/coriolis balance).
3491      - define SEAICE_ALLOW_FREEDRIFT to trigger the computation
3492        of the free drift velocity field, and enable its use.
3493        To actually use the free drift solution as the model ice
3494        velocity field set SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT to .TRUE. in data.seaice.
3495    o move "useOASIS" from PARAMS.h to EEPARAMS.h and read it from "eedata"
3496    
3497    checkpoint62l (2010/10/04)
3498    o pkg/seaice:
3499      -fix the USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version (for variable freezing point);
3500      -use "celsius2K" in SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT and in new
3501       version (with USE_ORIGINAL_SBI undef);
3502    o add hooks for new packages OASIS, the package will follow
3503      (hooks exclude the seaice pkg for now)
3504    o pkg/autodiff: ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
3505      Option to use mdsio_read_whalos.F/mdsio_write_whalos.F,
3506      rather than mdsio_readvector.F/mdsio_writevector.F, within
3507      adread_adwrite.F to read/write adjoint-related tapes to disk.
3508    o eesupp and pkg/mdsio: ALLOW_WHIO
3509      Option to write/read 2D fields to files including tiles halos.
3510      The main purpose is for adjoint related "tape I/O".
3511      The secondary purpose is for debugging phases.
3512      A word on those rather specifically intended purposes.
3513      The code was meant to be stripped down to the bare minimum.
3514      Typically, there is a unique and basic mapping to the global
3515      buffer (tile by tile, then proc by proc, then level by level), and
3516      byteswaps and meta-files are omitted. Indeed the (*_WH*) code is not
3517      meant to generate user friendly outputs of various shapes and forms.
3518      Rather it is intended, for the knowledgeabale developers,
3519      to be largely independent of the many mdsio options, to allow
3520      outputs of tiles+halos in debugging phases and in adjoint runs,
3521      and to allow some flexibility in tuning (adoint) I/O depending on each
3522      file system behavior. With regard to tuning, most of the potential knobs
3523      (to leave files open, to allocate the I/O indep. of usesinglecpuio,
3524      to specify directories, to specify the typical size of I/O calls, etc.)
3525      are not yet included, and will be added if they prove useful.
3526    o pkg/seaice:
3527       fix uninitialised arrays in USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version of seaice_solve4temp.F
3528    o pkg/seaice:
3529       new S/R seaice_solve4temp.F: this is the merged version of Ian Fenty
3530       code (seaice_budget_ice_if.F) which enable to recover old standard
3531       code (seaice_budget_ice.F) when option USE_ORIGINAL_SBI is defined.
3532       temporary: add "#define USE_ORIGINAL_SBI" at the top of seaice_solve4temp.F.
3533    o model/src (rStar):
3534       use simple average (not area weighted) of rStarFac at U,V point when using
3535       vectorInvariant and selectKEscheme=1,3 (consistent with mom. vertical advection)
3536       update output of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 and fizhi-cs-aqualev20.
3537    
3538    checkpoint62k (2010/09/17)
3539    o adjoint
3540       * changed verification/global_ocean.cs32x15 ; adjoint now tests
3541         Adams-Bashforth 3 + NLFS + RSTAR
3542       * some more modifs required for ECCO-GODAE v4
3543    o pkg/seaice
3544       add SEAICE_AGE_VOL option to use volume instead of area for
3545       integrating SEAICE_AGE
3546  o model/src:  o model/src:
3547     first check-in of sigma & hybrid-sigma coordinate code ; also includes     first check-in of sigma & hybrid-sigma coordinate code ; also includes
