      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
      ==============================
+ o model/src:
+   - recompute rSurfW & S to ensure consistent column thickness (needed for rStar)
+     between Sum_k(hFac*drF) and rSurf-rLow, for now only when using pkg/shelfice;
+   - use h0FacW & S to compute hFac_surfW & S in calc_surf_dr.F (more similar
+     to calc_r_star.F); update results of experiment internal_wave and
+     tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
+ o pkg/shelfice:
+   - add parameterisation of advective-diffusive flux into the ice shelf
+     according to Holland and Jenkins (1999), eq.22-33, as suggested by Jan De Ryd
+   - simply eps3/3a computation
+ o eesupp:
+  - add new CPP option (DISCONNECTED_TILES) to disconnect tiles (no exchange
+    between tiles, just fill-in edges assuming locally periodic subdomain) and
+    add corresponding exchange subroutines (EXCH0);
+  - new CG-solver version (_EX0) for disconnected-tiles special case.
+ o model/src (CG-solvers):
+  - modify Single-Reduction version (CG2D_SR) in case cg2dMaxIters is reached
+    (similar final residual output and max-Iter number as with standard version);
+  - allows to store and use lowest-residual solution (standard & _SR versions);
+  - cleaning up (remove old, commented out code, LETS_MAKE_JAM ...).
+  - by default, also compile CG2D_SR version (define ALLOW_SRCG in CPP_OPTIONS.h)
+ o eesup/src:
+  - global_vec_sum.F cleaning: add a BARRIER ; update comments ; remove ndef
+    ALWAYS_USE_MPI (no longer needed after fixing usingMPI settings - March 2012)
+ o pkg/salt_plume added to lab_sea/input_ad.noseaicedyn
+ checkpoint63m (2012/04/27)
+ o pkg/shelfice:
+  - account for partical cells in surface level below ice-shelf for hydrostatic
+    pressure calculion (set uniformFreeSurfLev to F); update isomip experiments.
+ o ad test experiments:
+  - update and rename to "ad_optfile.local" local AD-optfile specific to a
+    particular adjoint verification experiment (in verification/*/code_ad/)
+ o pkg/seaice & pkg/exf:
+  - Part two of ECCO-CLIVAR code merges.
+    Completes merge of seaice area relax. code.
+    Requires unified CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX
+    to be set in EXF_OPTIONS.h since this pkg controls its I/O
+    (and avoids second CPP option in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
+  - change default value of costIceStart & costIceEnd to a valid date.
+  - add snowPrecip to HSNOW in seaice_growth
+ o pkg/ptracers:
+  - move ptracers summary and setup check into separated S/R ; add a check for
+    valid PTRACERS_Iter0 value (error+stop or just warning).
+ o pkg/cal (+ pkg/ecco):
+  - avoid calling a S/R with 2 times the same arg (FWD: unless both are only used
+    as input; and for AD, unless both are not differentiable (e.g., k index)).
+ o model/src:
+  - define internal flag "uniformFreeSurfLev" (=T when free-surface level-index
+    is everywhere k=1) to speed-up some calculations (by pass kSurf reference);
+    temporary set to usingZCoords value (to be changed to F when using shelfice).
+  - hydrostatic pressure: implement partial cell near the surface also for
+    Z-coordinates (for the case where uniformFreeSurfLev=F); replace test on
+    usingZCoords with test on uniformFreeSurfLev where needed (in NonHyd code).
+ o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_init.F:
+  - add a formal parameter to s/r ctrl_init_rec to print
+    xx_$(ctrl_valiable)_file for easier debugging
+  - move call of cal_* routines into the if-block where they are really
+    needed so that xx_$(ctrl_variable)_period can be 0 or -12 without having
+    to specify a startdate
+ o pkg/seaice:
+  - update comments in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (+ similar update of lab_sea/code and
+    global_ocean.cs32x15/code versions).
+  - turn on seaice Multi-category (in data.seaice, SEAICE_multDim=7) for
+    verification experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice and update results.
+ o pkg/exf:
+  - new S/R EXF_GETFIELD_START to return starting-time of a forcing field
+    (according to useExfYearlyFields).
+ o pkg/cal:
+  - move calendar setting & summary (previously in cal_readparams.F) into new
+    S/R CAL_INIT_FIXED to be called later in the initialisation process, once
+    length of the simulation is set (after SET_PARMS call); This is an attempt
+    to fix Pb when, e.g.: pkg/longstep, modifies the length of the run.
+  - For safety: keep a record of pkg/cal parameter settings status
+            to allow to STOP if one pkg/cal S/R is called too early.
+  - add a stop in all basic pkg/cal subroutines if called before setting is done.
+  - modify cal_getdate.F: stop when nothing was returned;
+    if called with myIter=-1, simply retrun modelBaseDate (1,2 = startDate_1,_2);
+    this allows to remove "cal.h" from seaice_read_parms.F & init_mnc_vars.F.
+ checkpoint63l (2012/04/04)
+ o pkg/bbl:
+   - fix call to FIND_RHO_2D in bbl_calc_rho.F (case multi-tiles per proc);
+     update global_with_exf output.yearly.txt file.
+ o pkg/cal:
+   - start to clean-up cal_set.F ; fix for the case where baseTime is non-zero.
+   - remove 2 unsused and very short (1 line only) functions ;
+   - remove unsused subroutines from AD-Diff list.
+ o model/src:
+   - start to implement clean wait to stop in initialization S/R (config_check.F,
+      packages_check.F, ini_parms.F and pkg/obcs/obcs_check.F + pkg/mypackage)
+ o folowing PRINT_MESSAGE changes:
+   - remove reminder multiple print to the same file (STDOUT) when multi-threads.
+ o pkg/bbl:
+   - modification so it can work with z*
+   - replace deltaT with dTtracerLev(k) for asynchronous time stepping
+   - global_with_exf/input.yearly verification; changes output.yearly.txt
+ o eesupp/src:
+   - PRINT_MESSAGE: use OpenMP critical instruction (similar to PRINT_ERROR);
+     writing to unit 0 (if unit=errorMessageUnit) extended to the case myThid=1
+   - CHECK_THREADS: specific code if using OpenMP threading: improve checking of
+     # of threads across processors (e.g., different env OMP_NUM_THREADS setting)
+   - improve special preliminary call to EESET_PARMS (if eedata is read 2 times).
+   - when using MPI, always set usingMPI=T ; set default accordingly and stop
+     if not consistent.
+   - ALL_PROC_DIE: add a BARRIER after MPI_FINALIZE call ; skip this when thread
+     argument is zero (in case called within single-thread section).
+ o pkg/fizhi:
+     clean-up turbulence cold-start switch: decided in fizhi_init_vars.F, stored
+     in common bloc (fizhi_coms.h) and then passed as argument up to S/R TURBIO.
+ o pkg/exch2:
+   - add argument "updateCorners" to S/R exch2_get_uv_bounds (enable to
+     activate EXCH_IGNORE_CORNERS in vector EXCH S/R).
+   - switch 1rst EXCH call to IGNORE_CORNERS (instead of UPDATE_CORNERS)
+     but keep the 2nd with UPDATE_CORNERS: this prevents overwriting good data
+     with bad ones coming from a not-yet-updated halo.
+     This should fix the problem when sNx <> sNy and GCD(sNx,sNy) < 2*Olx.
+ o pkg/frazil:
+     move FrzForcT diag from frazil_diagnostics_state.F to frazil_calc_rhs.F
+     http://mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2012-March/005384.html
+ o model/src/config_check.F: add a check for OLx>sNx/OLy>sNy
+ o verification/lab_sea
+   * #undef SEAICE_EXCLUDE_FOR_EXACT_AD_TESTING
+   * #define ALLOW_SST_CONTROL & ALLOW_SST_CONTROL
+   * nTimeSteps 3 -> 4
+   * changed reference output accordingly
+ o pkg/ctrl:
+   * fix ctrl_get_gen for xx_sst, xx_sss
+ o pkg/fizhi:
+   - fix 2 calls to S/R GRD2MSC (argument igrd) in update_earth_exports.F
+     update results of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (fail with only 6 digits for cg2d)
+   - by default, use new version of S/R GETPWHERE (#define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE);
+     fix few out-of-bounds indices in referencing vars (initialise igrd to 1);
+     clean-up fizhi_turb.F (remove unused & uninitialised qdiaglsm array).
+ o pkg/gmredi:
+   - add diagnostic of Redi (main diagnonal) vertical diffusive flux of Temp
+ o pkg/fizhi:
+   - fix few initialisation and multi-tile Pb: aqualev & gridalt now pass the
+     (old)aces open64 tuv test.
+ o pkg/icefront: fix bug and reorder loop in icefront_init_varia.F
+ o pkg/mom_vecinv:
+   - fix 1 loop range in mom_vecinv.F to be like all the other loops which
+     set/update gu,gv/Diss (fix Pb of uninitialised fVerUkp in admom_vecinv
+     with non-lin free-surf).
+ o model/src: move k-loop outside of i/j-loops when (re-)computing R_low
+   in ini/update_masks_etc.F in order to avoid -O3 optimization problems with
+   some compilers (gfortran 4.6.0 on MacOS)
+ o momentum:
+   - separate fVer?(:,:,kUp) & fVer?(:,:,kDown) in argument list of MOM_FLUXFORM
+     & MOM_VECINV subroutines (to help TAF). This fixes Pb of uninitialised
+     fVer?(kUp) in admom_fluxform with non-lin free-surf or bottom control.
+ checkpoint63k (2012/03/17)
+ o model/src:
+    - selectAddFluid (ALLOW_ADDFLUID): add missing term in horizontal momentum
+      flux-form (mom_fluxform.F) and vertical momentum (calc_gw.F) equations.
+    - SOLVE_DIAGONAL: switch default to use adjoinable & vectorized version
+      (#undef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY); update output of exp. front_relax.bvp.
+ o model/src: solve_*diagonal.F
+    - replace division with multiplication by inverse (similar to original version)
+      update output of AD exp. global_ocean.90x40x15.
+    - fix pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_psi_bvp.F & pkg/ggl90/ggl90_calc.F
+      to enable the use of the vectorized & differentiable solve_tridiagonal.F
+    - test exp. global_ocean.90x40x15/input_ad: switch to advection scheme 20 for
+      vertical advection (to get solve_tridiagonal tested in AD mode).
+ o pkg/seaice: ECCO-CLIVAR merge:
+. seaice AREA relaxation
+      * CPP option: SEAICE_ALLOW_AREA_RELAXATION
+      * runtime flag: SEAICE_tauAreaObsRelax
+. modified global mean cost imbalance code: CPP option
+       ALLOW_SSH_GLOBMEAN_COST_CONTRIBUTION
+ o another iteration on solve_*diagonal.F
+    Make choices independent of AUTODIFF
+    Default will be the adjoinable vectorized version.
+    Alternative choices are:
+    * non-adjoinable original version with low memory footprint:
+      #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY
+    * still adjoinable but does not vectorize (k as inner-most loop):
+      #define SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER (keeping SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY undef)
+ o testreport
+  - add option to use a home made wrapper around "make"
+  - remove MITGCM_IEEE env. variable (no longer active)
+ o pkg/shelfice
+  - improve computation of friction velocity for velocity dependent
+    exchange coefficients: include velocities into SHELFICEBoundaryLayer
+    block to average velocities vertically
+  - add TAF store directives for SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
+ o Modify diagonal solvers, now three versions (upon request):
+   #ifndef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF
+. default version (dating back a while ago)
+   #else /* def SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
+   # ifdef SOLVE_DIAGONAL_KINNER
+. adjoinable version with k-innermost loop (G. Forget)
+   # else
+. adjoinable vectorized version of 2.
+   # endif
+   #endif /* SOLVE_DIAGONAL_AUTODIFF */
+   All flags are currently set within routines, but could/should be moved to CPP-options.
+   Array bounds for 1. are as before, for 2.,3. cover the entire domain
+   (could be changed for 1. too).
+ o verification/lab_sea (fwd):
+   - update the 4 fwd lab_sea test experiment: no longer SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
+     use 7 categories (except hb87), new solve4temp params (except salt_plume),
+     constant salinity (=4) or variable salinity (salt_plume) done through
+     SItracer.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - rename parameters: SIsalFrac to SEAICE_saltFrac & SIsal0 to SEAICE_salt0;
+   - remove old parameters ( SEAICE_freeze, SEAICEturbFluxFormula, SEAICE_gamma_t,
+      SEAICE_gamma_t_frz, SEAICE_availHeatTaper & SEAICE_availHeatFracFrz)
+     from SEAICE_PARMS.h ; still need to fix seaice_cost_sst.F (broken when
+     SEAICE_freeze got retired) but already better than previously with
+     SEAICE_freeze=123456.7 deg.C;
+   - move setting of facOpenGrow/Melt from SEAICE_INIT_FIXED to SEAICE_READPARMS
+     (safer multi-threaded setting); always set SEAICEuseEVP;
+   - setting of ocean-ice turb. flux coeff: moved from SEAICE_CHECK to
+     SEAICE_READPARMS & SEAICE_INIT_FIXED (this fixes wrong summary report);
+     stop if multiple specifications for the same coeff; make sure default
+     SEAICE_mcPheePiston is compatible with drF(1) & deltaT.
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   - allow to switch to upwind 1rst order advection scheme for the advective
+     flux computation at the open-boundary; disabled for adjoint built.
+ o pkg/ptracers:
+   - rename PTRACERS_RESTART.h -> PTRACERS_START.h
+   - rename ptracers_fields_blocking_exchanges.F -> ptracers_fields_blocking_exch.F
+   - add parameter to decide when to start a tracer; use internal flag to
+     know which tracer to step-forward; switch this internal flag at the top
+     of forward_step.F (new S/R PTRACERS_SWITCH_ONOFF); for now, not enabled
+     for adjoint built.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - add SEAICE_SIZE.h anywhere in the code where SEAICE.h is included ;
+   - move MULTDIM declaration and setting from SEAICE.h to SEAICE_SIZE.h ;
+   - keep experiment offline_exf_seaice truly single category (set MULTDIM=1).
+ o pkg/ecco:
+   - fix writing of output file DiagnosCost_ClimSalt/Theta
+     and DiagnosCost_DriftSalt/Theta (if multi-tiles per proc).
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - add missing initialisation of COR_ICE array in dynsolver.F
+   - merging SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY define and undef cases. Now the same code is
+     compiled either way, and is tested in all exps (multidim was only tested
+     in lab_sea ad before).
+   - cosmetic change to prepare for future addition of ITD. no change to results.
+     no defaults change.
+   - added run time param SEAICE_multDim (7 for SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY, 1 otherwise).
+   - by lack of adequate verification experiments, I further used custom versions
+     of global_ocean.cs32x15 to test multicat or not, with pickup or not. All
+     should be correct.
+   - avoid recomputations in ad.
+ o array initialisation in adjoint mode:
+) pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_ke.F:
+     add full array initialisation of KE inside mom_calc_ke.F (ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC):
+     The S/R which calls MOM_CALC_KE initialises KE but in some recomputation
+     part this initialisation is gone, resulting in Floating Point Exception
+     (caught by open64 compiler with debug option).
+) model/src/convective_weights.F
+     set output convectCount over the full array range (instead of doing
+     an update): this fix a similar issue when called within recomputation (adjoint)
+     which could by-pass the initialisation (normally done in the caller S/R).
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - final version of turbulent flux params, as agreed at MIT ice meet:
+        SEAICE_mcPheePiston (default is ~ 0.000875)
+        SEAICE_mcPheeTaper (default is 0.)
+        SEAICE_frazilFrac (defualt is 1.)
+        SEAICE_mcPheeStepFunc (default is false)
+   - changes results at trunction error level
+   - ifdef SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES, disallow SEAICE_waterAlbedo
+ o added pkg/frazil:
+   - see frazil_description.tex for details
+   - verification experiment is global_with_exf/input.yearly; changes output.yearly.txt
+ o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F
+   - fix exponents for velocity dependent exchange coefficients: change
+     from 2/3(=0) to 0.66666666666666667
+   - move computation of velocity dependent exchange coefficients into
+     separate loop, so that it applies to both thermodynamics
+   - move some divisions by constants out of loops
+ checkpoint63j (2012/02/16)
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - overhaul of seaice_summary.F after feb 2012 clean-up of seaice_growth.F etc.
+   - SItracer:  added run time params, and allow coupling to ocn salinity.
+ o pkg/seaice: remove (almost) all divisions by constants within loops
+   in seaice_growth.F and seaice_solve4temp.F, this changes (only) the cg2d
+   results of global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice from 16 to 11 digits (but only
+   those, caused by 1/QI -> recip_QI) -> update output.seaice.txt,
+   output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt and also lab_sea: output_adm.evp.txt
+ o pkg/seaice :
+   - simplify McPhee tapering, and allow to use it with SEAICEturbFluxFormula
+     = 1 or 2, using newly added run time parameter SEAICE_availHeatTaper.
+   - fix d_AREAbyATM, d_AREAbyOCN, d_AREAbyICE diags I broke in r1.148.
+   - add permanent SItflux diag that corresponds to TFLUX but includes
+     ice+snow. Hence SItflux-TFLUX should match the ice+snow heat budget.
+   - allow activation/testing of a fix for suspected missing term in
+     ocn-ice heat budget (to be confirmed). To test this, you want to
+     undef SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX, and then set the run time param
+     SEAICEheatConsFix to .TRUE. that also allows the 'SIaaflux' diagnostic.
+   - no change in results, fwd or ad.
+ o global_ocean.cs32x15/results: 3 changes following from the pkg/seaice commit below:
+   - switch to variable freezing point.
+        Results change : cg2d -> 1 digits; ad -> 3-6-6 digits.
+   - bug fix : the sublimation term that was missing is now activated.
+        Results change : cg2d -> 2 digits; ad -> 8-6-6 digits.
+   - bug fix : flooding sign term for SIsal0.NE.0.
+        Result change : cg2d -> 8 digits; ad -> 11-12-9 digits.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - unified freezing point treatment : the old SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT
+     is now the default, and the old default constant freezing point is recovered
+     with SEAICE_tempFrz0    = -1.96,
+          SEAICE_dTempFrz_dS = 0.,
+   - retire SEAICE_freeze (= the old way of specifycing the constant freezing point)
+   - remove ALLOW_SEAICE_FLOODING brackets; run time switch is already there.
+   - bug fix (thanks to M. Losch) : the sublimation term that was missing is now
+     activated. To reproduce old results with this bug define SEAICE_DISABLE_SUBLIM.
+   - bug fix (silly me) : flooding sign term (seaice_growth.F r 1.149line 1211)
+     was wrong for SIsal0.NE.0. Changes cs32x15 results (see above item for detail).
+   - bug fix (thanks to O. Jahn) : area loss for melting  got messed up in
+     seaice_growth r149 for legacy branch (no results change).
+   - introduce SEAICE_CAP_SUBLIM : caps sublimation heat flux in solve4temp (code
+     from I. Fenty).
+   - results did not change except for global_ocean.cs32x15, mostly due to the
+     switch to variable freezing point (see above item for detail).
+ o pkg/thsice:
+   - fix and simplify interface to salt_plume pkg ; diagnose directly amount of
+     seawater freezing in thsice_calc_thickn (not used).
+ o pkg/seaice: turbulent flux term specification via run time params.
+   - replace CPP switches with run time switches to facilitate testing
+   - retired CPPs : MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX,
+                    GRADIENT_MIXED_LAYER_TURBULENCE_FACTOR
+   - added runtime parameter : SEAICEturbFluxFormula
+   - move Mcphee constants to SEAICE_PARAMS.h
+   - seaice_readparms.F : read turbulent flux term params (SEAICEturbFluxFormula;
+              SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, or SEAICE_gamma_t/_frz if apply);
+              remove seaice_summary call (moved to seaice_init_fixed)
+   - seaice_init_fixed.F : set SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz depending on
+     SEAICEturbFluxFormula, and seaice_summary call (moved from seaice_readparms)
+   - seaice_summary.F : add missing report of read turbulent flux term set up
+                        and SITRACER.
+   - seaice_check.F : check range; inform and stop if retired CPPs are used
+                      (incl. SEAICE_AGE).
+   - seaice_growth.F : unified use of SEAICE_availHeatFrac/Frz, without
+          CPP switch, same computation as before for the different options.
+   - change results at the truncation level.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - remove un-used parameters LAD & MAX_TICE ; add new run-time parameters:
+     useMaykutSatVapPoly (default=F), postSolvTempIter (default=2) and
+     SEAICE_wetAlbTemp (default=-1e-3). Remove option SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
+   - update verification/*/input*/data.seaice:
+     to reproduce previous results with former #defined SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
+     code, set useMaykutSatVapPoly=T & postSolvTempIter=0 ;
+     and to reproduce previous results with former non-SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY code,
+     set SEAICE_wetAlbTemp=0 & SEAICE_snowThick=0.
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY):
+   - remove LEGACY code for solving for tsurf (A1,A2,A3) but maintain the same
+     algorithm (same choice: useMaykutPolySatVap=T, postSolvTempIter=0);
+     difference in results only due to machine truncation.
+   - remove MAX_TICE (tsurf is always =< TMELT anyway); keep MIN_TICE if using
+     MaykutPolySatVap; keep MIN_LWDOWN.
+   - adapt SEAICE_MODIFY_GROWTH_ADJ code (untested) to non-legacy formulation.
+   - update output of verification exp. lab_sea (4 fwd: 11 cg2d digits except hb87,
+     + 3 AD: 6 digits except evp) and offline_exf_seaice.seaice (12 digits).
+ o pkg/salt_plume:
+   - isolate saltPlumeFlux array exch into a specific S/R called from
+     do_oceanic_phys.F
+   - add interface to pkg/salt_plume (filling of saltPlumeFlux) in pkg/thsice.
+ o verification:
+   - move untested set-up to MITgcm_contrib/verification_other.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - retire old way of SEAICE_AGE. Now replaced with ALLOW_SITRACER.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - seaice_solve4temp.F (keeping results unchanged):
+     * add 2 future run-time params to select which saturation vapor pressure
+       formula is used and how post-iteration fluxes are set.
+       Temporary set these 2 params according to option SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY;
+     * New piece of code (not used) to update surf. atmos. heat flux F_ia using
+       the linearized expression to stay consistent with tsurf finding.
+   - seaice_freedrift.F avoid floating exception in sqrt(y) since y=sqrt(x*x)-x
+     can be < 0.
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY undef):
+   - remove from F_ia (and from it's derivative dFiDTs1) the contribution of
+     conductive heat flux F_c , and add it explicitly when updating tsurf as
+     solution of: Fc = Fia + d/dT(Fia - Fc) *delta.tsurf
+     so that now F_ia has a consistent meaning through the entire routine.
+     This causes differences at truncation level: update output of fwd exp.
+     global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - lots of editing/cleaning in seaice_solve4temp.F + better documentation
+     of arrays, sign/direction of fluxes; no effect on results.
+   - replace hard coded 273.16 (=previous value of celsius2K) by celsius2K
+     in seaice_budget_ocean.F & seaice_solve4temp.F (SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY part);
+     note: this should have been done before changing celsius2K default.
+   - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
+     exp. input*/data : lab_sea (AD), offline_exf_seaice (fwd+AD) & seaice_obcs
+   - replace hard coded seawater freezing temp in seaice_solve4temp.F (part
+     SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY) of 271.20 (=previous value of celsius2K + default
+     value of SEAICE_freeze) by celsius2K+SEAICE_freeze so that seawater
+     freezing temp is consistent with value in seaice_growth.F ; this causes
+     differences at machine truncation level: update lab_sea AD output (3/4).
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - mask (in exf_init_fixed.F) atemp,aqh,evap,precip,runoff,lwflx,areamask
+     and climsst/sss even when using seaice (to prevent calculation that might
+     use SST on land); does not affect any verification exp.
+   - apply mask to taux,tauy (in seaice_get_dynforcing.F); update output
+     of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 and global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix.
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: add mask to avoid non-zero ice thickness
+   over land (non-legacy code)
+ o vectorize salt_plume package:
+   - add extra code to salt_plume_frac and salt_plume_tendency_apply_s
+   - this code computes plumebk everywhere (also over land), thus requires
+     code to avoid divisions by zero and catch the case of kLev=Nr.
+   - efficiency of salt_plume_frac is still sub-optimal
+ o tools (genmake2):
+   - fix makefile NAME specification (option: -makefile NAME) by adding
+     "-f $MAKEFILE" in few places where it was missing including makedepend
+     command (contribution from Paul).
+ checkpoint63i (2012/01/24)
+ o model/src:
+   - add factorized versions of some EOS code to find_rho.F,
+     define USE_FACTORIZED_EOS to turn it on (default for TARGET_NEC_SX)
+ o model/src:
+   - add celsius2K to namelist PARM01; remove unused recip_rhoNil from PARAMS.h;
+   - change default celsius2K from 273.16 to 273.15
+   - to keep results unchanged, add back old value of celsius2K in verification
+     exp. input*/data : aim.5l_cs, 1D_ocean_ice_column, lab_sea (fwd),
+      global_ocean.cs32x15(seaice) & cpl_aim+ocn(input_atm).
+ o model/src: add a little initialisation trick to find_rho.F and find_alpha.F
+   to make TAF generate vectorizable code
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: add code (copied from CICE) that avoids underflows.
+    Turn on by defining SEAICE_EVP_ELIMINATE_UNDERFLOWS. Most compilers
+    have flags that do this more efficiently.
+ o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F
+   - for TARGET_NEC_SX fix the treatment of the scaling factor tmpFac=scaleFact
+ o pkg/obcs (with exch2):
+   - derive OB indices in overlap region from OB-InsideMask (in obcs_init_fixed.F)
+     and remove code (in obcs_readparms.F) which was based on EXCH of indices
+     (through buffer) and did not account for exch2 (e.g., CS-grid) topology.
+ o pkg/exf and seaice exp:
+   - change offline_exf_seaice.seaicetd test exp. to use default DIFF1 value (=0)
+     so that switching off area & heff advection flags does not affect results.
+   - change default EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY to #define in EXF_OPTIONS.h
+   - keep exp. seaice_obcs & 1D_ocean_ice_column(ad) unchanged (using #undef
+     EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY) and, using pkg/exf default emissivities, update
+     results of verification experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column(fwd),
+     global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice(fwd+ad) & seaice_dynmix(ad), lab_sea (all 8)
+     and offline_exf_seaice (all 4).
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - remove array YNEG, RIVER, TMIX (replaced by local var) from common block;
+     remove also areaNm1 & hEffNm1 when SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY is undef.
+   - fix bug: areaNm1 & hEffNm1 are needed in seaice_growth (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY)
+     but were not filled when resp. SEAICEadvArea=F & SEAICEadvHeff=F and
+     not multi-dim advection;
+   - fix seaice_growth.F to compile with both SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and
+     SHORTWAVE_HEATING #undef.
+ o optim: make Makefile more robust (?)
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   * fix treatment of obcs_read_pickup for TAF
+ o pkg/shelfice:
+   * add missing initialisation of num_shifwflx
+   * new adjoint verification exp. for isomip
+   * change Prandtl and Schmidt numbers from generic formulations
+     (in terms of model diffus. and visc.) to separate runtime
+     parameters, with Holland and Jenkins (1999) default values.
+ o pkg/exf (interpolation):
+   - extended input field (2 rows) near the N & S poles:
+     * fill in with the symetric value (when even Nb of data in longitude)
+     * add average value at the poles only for scalar quantities ; for vector
+       component interpolation, skip the averaging and keep duplicated values,
+       unless the 2 components have same location (uvInterp=T) in which case
+       interpolate the 2 components together using S/R EXF_INTERP_UV.
+   - new S/R EXF_INTERP_UV to interpolate the 2 components of a vector field
+     together: this allows to account properly for local orientation when
+     averaging at N & S pole.
+   - add CPP option EXF_USE_OLD_INTERP_POLE to recover old results regarding
+     exf-interpolation near N & S poles. Undef by default.
+   - add debug check/print on 1rst iter if debugLevel >=2.
+ o pkg/exf:
+   - change masking flags definition (no longer "parameter"), put them in
+     common block and set them in S/R EXF_INIT_FIXED.
+   - change recognized masking flag from s,u,v to c,w,s since the mask
+     to use (maskC,W,S) depends on position on model grid and has little to
+     do with scalar/vector difference; fix masking if using P-coordinates.
+   - fix masking of wind-stress (was wrong if interpolated or read on A-grid)
+     and update results of exp. global_with_exf (x2).
+   - fix setting of zenith-angle table when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is undef.
+ o pkg/obcs
+   - S/R obcs_calc_stevens: fix a small bug (gammat -> gammas where appropriate)
+ o pkg/exf (interpolation):
+   - assume periodicity in X only if input field cover full longitude range.
+   - improve search for lat. index (supposed to be faster, in ~log2(ny) steps,
+     and should vectorise).
+   - fix input lat of the 2 added row (in case we provide N.pole data).
+ checkpoint63h (2011/12/30)
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - change declaration of UVM from _RL to _RS in order to get B-grid
+     uIce,vIce monitor when _RS = real*4
+ o pkg/offline:
+   - new S/R OFFLINE_RESET_PARMS for resetting main-model params (switch off flags);
+   - compute vertical velocity if not read from file (switch on exactConserv
+     & staggerTimeStep);
+   - fix output of ptracer monitor iter & time for default PTRACERS_monitorFreq.
+ o verification:
+   - update grid-files (in tutorial_held_suarez_cs/input and fizhi-cs-32x32x40/input)
+     with grid-angle generated using "utils/matlab/cs_grid/cubeCalcAngle.m":
+     fix Pb in yG definition @ 2 missing corners (previously yG was averaged);
+   - update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4 after changing
+     grid-file angles (used here for coriolis-3d);
+   - remove (or gzip) few files not needed to run fizhi-cs experiments.
+ o pkg/exf (vector interpolation):
+   - rotate vector component toward local grid-axis orientation using grid-angles
+     (stored in GRID.h) instead of locally computed rotation angle; keep old code
+     available with exf option EXF_USE_OLD_VEC_ROTATION (undef by default).
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - allow to compile with exf options ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_DOWNWARD_RADIATION
+     undefined. Fix and remove the stop when ALLOW_RUNOFF is undefined.
+ o pkg/PKG_OPTIONS.h files:
+   - move #include "CPP_OPTIONS.h" just after #include "PACKAGES_CONFIG.h",
+     outside of the #ifdef ALLOW_THISPKG / #endif block.
+   - update verification/*/code/PKG_OPTIONS.h files.
+ o add a verification experiment (offline_exf_seaice/input.seaice) that test
+   the B-grid LSOR solver
+ o pkg/seaice: sort out emissivity and long wave radiation step 2:
+   - add emissivity for snow and ice as new run-time parameters
+     (unfortunately) that default to the corresponding exf values; this
+     changes results in most verification experiments so that for backward
+     compatibility these parameter have to be set explicitly to inconsistent
+     values (ugly);
+   - the exf-flag EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY then gets rid off the hard-wired
+     emissivities of 0.97 associated with lwdownloc in S/R seaice_solve4temp
+     until we agree how to handle this bug properly
+ o pkg/exf (interpolation):
+   - add a set of run-time param ({inputfield}_interpMethod), one for
+     each interpolated input field, to select the interpolation method
+     with a value of zero switching off the interpolation;
+   - print interpolation parameters to standard output;
+   - refine exf_check.F accordingly ; stop if USE_NO_INTERP_RUNOFF is defined
+     (to use instead runoff_interpMethod=0 in data.exf).
+   - simplify default setting of interpolation parameters (for all fields,
+     set position to match model grid cell-center position, leading to trivial
+     interpolation in case of regular Lat-Lon grid) and fix for the case of
+     non-uniform delY.
+ o pkg/exf/exf_radiation.F: add the factor ocean_emissivity to lwdown, for
+    within #ifdef EXF_LWDOWN_WITH_EMISSIVITY/#endif. Unless ocean_emissivity=1.
+    this factor is absolutely required, because the lw exitance (= out-going
+    long wave radiation) is emissivity*stefanBoltzmann*T^4 + rho*lwdown,
+    where the reflectivity rho = 1-emissivity for conservation reasons. Once
+    this is established, we can remove the CPP-Flag (if we want to).
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - qualify a stop statement in S/R seaice_check: EXF_READ_EVAP and
+     ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE are only required if SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES is defined
+   - sort out emissivity and long wave radiation, step 1: make SEAICE_emissivity
+     what the name implies (and not emissivity*BoltzmannConstant), this means
+     the old default value of 5.5e-8 now means
+.5e-8/5.670e-8 = 0.97001763668430343479 as ocean_emissivity in
+     S/R exf_readparms
+   - FV-discretization of the B-grid LSOR solver, turn on with
+     SEAICE_LSRBNEW. This new solver also involves a slight re-organization
+     of the calling routine dynsolver, so that B and C-grid code look a
+     little more alike.
+   - fix index bugs in ostres.F (B-grid code)
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_ocean_budget.F: change (unused) code to make it look better
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_readparms.F: make ocean_emissivity*stefanBoltzmann the
+   default for SEAICE_emissivity, if useEXF; requires setting a wrong
+   parameter value in global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice/data.seaice for
+   backward compatiblity
+ o model/src: use sigmaR in calc_ivdc
+ checkpoint63g (2011/12/16)
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
+   fix heat conservation of the coupled ocean-seaice system.
+   when SEAICE_HEAT_CONSERV_FIX is defined, the mismatch of
+   solid vs liquid water treatment is resolved via QNET.
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
+   add missing term for sublimation in saltFlux, which was breaking conservation.
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_model.F:
+   Remove this patholigical case treatment in evolution branch,
+   where it is un-necessary and breaks conservation.
+   Update global_ocean.cs32x15/results accordingly for
+   output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt and output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt
+ o model/src:
+   useRealFreshWaterFlux: remove masking of EmPmP (using maskInC) in
+   external_forcing_surf.F and apply mask directly in S/R SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE.
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   modify Stevens boundary conditions so that S/R obcs_calc_stevens computes
+   tendency for temperature and salinity that is then applied to update
+   theta and salt in S/R obcs_apply_ts; this requires proper masking of all
+   horizontal advection and diffusion contributions on the boundary (in
+   S/Rs gad_advection, gad_calc_rhs, gmredi_rtransport, gmredi_calc_diff), and
+   removing the mask in S/R timestep_tracer. The advantage of this approach is
+   that the updated tracer values include contributions from the surface
+   forcing and vertical diffusion.
+   This modification changes exp4.stevens because of vertical diffusion.
+ o model/src:
+   change non-curvilinear grid setting to also work with exch2 + blank tiles:
+   - move delX,delY to new header file (SET_GRID.h) and adjust length to 1rst
+     face dimensions.
+   - new S/R INI_LOCAL_GRID to define model tile-local grid (using same units
+     as delX,delY) and called from S/R INI_CARTESIAN_GRID, INI_CYLINDER_GRID
+     and INI_SPHERICAL_POLAR_GRID.
+   change test-experiment global_ocean.90x40x15:
+   - split the domain in many more tiles (9x4 tiles of 10x10 each);
+   - switch to exch2 and remove 1 blank-tile (but only for MPI test).
+   - update results of both test (std & dwnslp).
+ o pkg/diagnostics/diagstat_calc.F: fix problem with non-initialised halos in
+    tmp-fields for TARGET_NEC_SX at the cost of extra loops and less vectorisation
+ o model/src:
+   - take sigma-coords related code out of update_etah.F into new S/R UPDATE_ETAWS
+     and fix initialisation when using sigma-coords.
+ o model/src:
+  - improve Gael's changes from Jan 14, 2011 "addition of an 'update' of hfacc etc.
+    to their current value at the beginning of forward_step.F": add a new run-time
+    switch "doResetHFactors" (default=false) and use it to do (or not) the resetting.
+  - set doResetHFactors=T in the following test exp:
+     global_ocean.90x40x15/input (rStar) & input.dwnslp (linFS),
+     global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice (rStar), hs94.cs-32x32x5/input.impIGW (linFS)
+     and tutorial_global_oce_in_p (nonLinFS in p)
+ o pkg/ecco
+   - added IES cost term
+ o verification/advect_xz
+   - scale down the depth by 1/100 (from 200 km to just 2.km)
+   - add secondary test using divergent flow, r-star and implicit vertical advection.
+   - add note (check_conserve_TS.txt) and matlab script to check global
+     conservation of T & S with NonLin-FreeSurf and Adams-Bashforth.
+ o pkg/rbcs:
+   - add missing relaxUFile & relaxVFile in namelist (in rbcs_readparms.F).
+ o pkg/obcs (Stevens BCs):
+   - fix various problems in the phase speed computations of the Stevens
+     boundary conditions:
+     - sign error for western and southern boundaries,
+     - time tendencies were underestimated by factor of dTracerLev and some just
+       zero (for multidim advection schemes) -> now estimate time tendencies
+       from difference between previous (n) time level and the one before (n-1);
+       this requires storing a field per tracer per boundary, also in the pickup
+       files.
+     - replace deltaTmom in cflMer/Zon computation with dTracerLev
+     - set default phase velocity to cflMer/Zon
+   - update verification experiment exp4.stevens
+ o pkg/generic_advdiff (implicit_r):
+   - fix implicit vertical advection conservation with AB and/or NonLin-FreeSurf
+     (remove Tr*d/dz(w) in gad_implicit_r.F and add it in gad_calc_rhs.F);
+   - fix implicit vertical diffusion or advection with NonLin FreeSurf
+     (was using current recip_hFacC instead of future recip_hFacC): set future
+     recip_hFac in thermodynamics.F and pass & use it in all vertical implicit
+     solver S/R ;
+   - fill diagnostics of vertical advective fluxes (computed from tendency)
+     when using implicit vert. advection;
+   - update output of exp that uses NonLin-FreeSurf & implicit vertical diffusion:
+      global_ocean.90x40x15 (fwd+AD), global_ocean.cs32x15 (4 fwd +4 AD),
+      tutorial_global_oce_in_p (fwd), tutorial_tracer_adjsens (AD)
+      and cpl_aim+ocn (used in ocean); to be fixed: bottom_ctrl_5x5.
+ o pkg/diagnostics:
+   - add diags for T & S tendency which goes through Adams-Bashforth.
+ checkpoint63f (2011/11/30)
+ o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
+   - join some loops to reduce number of if-statements
+   - fix a bug in code for northern and southern boundaries.
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_varia.F
+   - undo resetting UVM=0 that has slipped in unnoticed in r1.49 and
+     caused zero ice-velocities for the B-grid code
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_init_fixed.F
+   - fix a bug in the initialisation of the second metric terms
+     k2AtC and k2AtZ: k2AtC was set to the value of k2AtZ and k2AtZ was 0.
+   - this affects all seaice configurations with useCurviLinearGrid = .true.
+     and SEAICEuseDynamics = .true. (default) and SEAICEuseMetricTerms
+     = .true. (default)
+   - the only verification experiment affected is global_ocean.cs32x15:
+     icedyn, seaice, and seaice_dynmix (AD)
+ o pkg/thsice/thsice_diagnostics_state.F
+   - only for TARGET_NEC_SX: initialise all of tmpFld, so that overlap does
+     not contain garbage that can lead to surprises in diagstats_calc.F
+ o model/src:
+   - move bi,bj loops inside INTEGR_CONTINUITY ;
+   - call INTEGR_CONTINUITY directly from forward_step.F
+     (previously called from momentum_correction_step.F)
+   - call UPDATE_ETAH from integr_continuity.F and update initialise_varia.F,
+     forward_step.F and pkg/ecco/the_main_loop.F
+ o model/src/do_oceanic_phys.F:
+   - reset addMass to zero only if useICEFRONT ;
+   - separated k-loop for rhoInSitu calculation ;
+   - add 2 diagnostics for wVel*delta^k(Rho) at constant pressure (= WdRHO_P)
+     and at constant T,S (= WdRHOdP);
+   NOTE: change diagnostics WRHOMASS : this is now simply the Vertical transport
+     of In-Situ Density (Anomaly) (=wVel*rho^bar-k) (previously was Vertical
+     transport of locally-referenced potential density);
+     to recover old diag: (WRHOMASS)_old = (WRHOMASS)_new -1/2 * (WdRHOdP)
+ o gluemnc:
+   - replace ncrcat with ncks when adding variables to *.glob.nc
+   - change the way variables without record dimensions are handled so that
+     files that have variables with and without record variables can be glued:
+     add a record dimension with a new unique name to be able to differentiate
+     between variable with and without a-prior record dimensions. Remove
+     this record dimension before adding the variable to the *.glob.nc file.
+     This procedure automatically works also for grid.*.nc files that do not
+     have any record dimension.
+ o verification/cpl_aim+ocn:
+   - generate new reference output on baudelaire (gfortran, mpich2) (previously
+     from old aces-grid cluster, ao + ifort) and update 'run_cpl_test' script.
+ o pkg/obcs/obcs_calc_stevens.F:
+   - add code for northern and southern boundaries.
+   - reorder some loops to save some operations and so that drFBar can be scalar
+ o model/src:
+   - re-arrange extrapolation calculation in Adams-Bashforth S/R (affects machine
+     truncation) and add diagnostics for Adams-Bashforth tendency increment.
+   - update test-exp. AD output:
+D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5, lab_sea.noseaicedyn, obcs_ctrl;
+   and FWD output: exp4 (x3), fizhi-cs-32x32x40, fizhi-cs-aqualev20,
+     front_relax (x3), global_ocean.90x40x15 (x2), global_ocean.cs32x15 (x5),
+     global_ocean_ebm, ideal_2D_oce, internal_wave, isomip (x3), lab_sea (x4),
+     matrix_example, MLAdjust (x5), natl_box (x2), tutorial_advection_in_gyre,
+     tutorial_global_oce_in_p, tutorial_global_oce_latlon and
+     tutorial_plume_on_slope.
+ o pkg/diagnostics/diagstats_calc.F: add special code for TARGET_NEC_SX
+   that vectorises. This code uses 3 extra 2D fields, F90 array assignments
+   and F90 intrinsic routines SUM, MINVAL, MAXVAL, but since TARGET_NEC_SX
+   does not even come with an F77 compiler anymore, this should not be
+   a limitation
+ checkpoint63e (2011/11/06)
+ o pkg/seaice adjoint of LSR:
+   - substantially rework STORE dirs.
+   - add new flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER and parameter SOLV_MAX_FIXED
+     this flag will do SOLV_MAX_ITERS but only store SOLV_MAX_FIXED fields
+     and only perform SOLV_MAX_FIXED adjoint iters.
+     If flag SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undef-ined, the store in the iteration
+     always goes to same record, meaning that the last forward field will be
+     the one used in the adjoint - an approximation.
+   - now produces non-zero LSR-related gradients, and acceptable gradients for
+     An's zonal (x-z) test case (to be checked in)
+   - lab_sea: produces acceptable gradients for lab_sea with forward/backward LSR
+     (but these are screwed up by the thermodynamics in the first place);
+     reduce from 4 to 3 timesteps to avoid t.d. issue as temporary solution;
+     output_adm.txt also reflects changes to seaice_lsr
+   - global_ocean.cs32x15:
+     * the "default" input_ad.seaice has been re-defined to always exclude dynamics
+       (output_adm.seaice.txt was updated)
+     * new input_ad.seaice_dynmix tests a forward LSR / backward free-drift
+       (output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt)
+ o test-exp. exp4+stevens:
+   - switch off pTracers and nonHydrostatic (restart problems with NH); update output
+ o pkg/seaice (lsr solver):
+   - put coriolis term into FORCEX,Y (as in seaice_evp.F; previously in rhsU,V only);
+     update output (change truncation) of FWD test exp lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15
+   - fix SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT for new OBCS version (ndef OBCS_UVICE_OLD)
+   - new parameter "LSR_mixIniGuess" allows (if=2,4) to mix free-drift solution
+     into initial guess for linearised solver; use weight ~ (1/err)^2,4.
+   - compute (with new S/R) and print initial (+ free-driff sol. if available)
+     and final residual of linearised system.
+ o pkg/pp81: add diagnostics for vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivity
+   (requires new subroutines pp81_init_fixed.F/pp81_diagnostics_init.F)
+ o pkg/obcs: Stevens BCs (still only for east and west)
+   - fix Stevens BCs by using intermediate velocities of previous
+     time step as "baroclinic" contribution rather velocity of one grid cell
+     inside the boundaries; more consistent but makes the entire treatment
+     more complicated, requires new pickup files and two new S/Rs:
+     obcs_copy_uv_n and obcs_save_uv_n
+     keep old version with flag OBCS_STEVENS_USE_INTERIOR_VELOCITY
+     (undefined by default)
+   - silently move computation of some grid factors into separate loops to
+     save some recomputations
+   - add a hack for non-linear free surface
+   - add a verification experiment to exp4 that tests this code
+ o make gluemnc/xplodemnc work with (moron) non-GNU shell tools
+ checkpoint63d (2011/10/25)
+ o pkg/obcs + seaice-dynamics:
+   - new implementation calls OBCS_APPLY_UVICE (in seaice_dynsolver.F) before
+     solving for uIce,vIce and prevent SEAICE_LSR or SEAICE_EVP to modify OB
+     values (consistent with an implicit method).
+   - add option OBCS_UVICE_OLD (in OBCS_OPTIONS.h, defined by default) to
+     return to older implementation (same results as before); note that none of
+     the "experimental" OBCS_SEAICE options are implemented in the new version.
+   - switch test exp. seaice_obcs to use new version (update output).
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - add few stop (B-grid & CS-exch, B-grid & obcs, AUTODIFF & SEAICE_maskRHS)
+   - add parenthesis in Water-Ice drag calculations (evp & lsr);
+   - in seaice_lsr.F, simplify and fix AA3 setting in case sNx or sNy=1;
+     and fix case SEAICE_waterDrag=0 (but unstable if no or little seaice)
+   - update output of test exp lab_sea that uses evp or lsr (fwd+ad)
+     and global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn & seaice fwd+ad).
+ o pkg/layers:
+   - Include potential density as new coordinate (Thanks to David Munday)
+ o pkg/dic:
+   - Remove subroutine CALC_PCO2_APPROX_CO3 from carbon_chem.F and add
+     carbonate computation/output to CALC_PCO2_APPROX
+ o pkg/generic_advdiff
+   - make TAF generate code that vectorizes:
+     gad_dst3fl_adv_*.F, gad_u3c4_impl_r.F
+ o model/src:
+   - improve vectorization also for adjoint code of
+     solve_tridiagonal and solve_pentadiagonal. As this requires up to
+new 3D-fields, this code is only turned on for the combination of
+     ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC and TARGET_NEC_SX. Also remove error message
+     for singular matrix check (only for TARGET_NEC_SX).
+   - remove hard-wiring of CPP-flag ALLOW_SOLVERS_KLOOPINSIDE to
+     ALLOW_AUTODIFF. This flag now needs to be set outside of
+     solve_tri/pentadiagonal.F
+ o pkg/exf:
+   - fix previous modif in exf_readparms.F (revision 1.66: treatment of
+     optional namelist EXF_NML_OBCS).
+   - add many debug-print (to trace down where pkg/cal error msg comes from)
+ o pkg/mom_vecinv/mom_vi_hdissip.F
+   - rearrange loops so that vectorization is improved and in particular
+     the adjoint routine vectorizes. The code is a little longer now, but I
+     think easier to read.
+     Note: CPP-flag MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 is not tested.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - allow to specify initial seaice velocity from files (uIceFile,vIceFile)
+ o pkg/exch2:
+   - alternative code (without tile x tile matrix) for cumulated (global) sum;
+     used as default; keep using matrix version in adjustment.cs-32x32x1.
+ o tools/build_options:
+   - after merging some MPI and/or multi-threads specific optfiles so that
+     the modified default optfile support both built (using genmake2 -mpi
+     for the MPI built, using genmake2 -omp for OpenMP built),
+     move now obsolete optfiles to tools/build_options/unsupported/
+    (add copy of email sent to support list in doc/optfiles_changes.txt)
+ checkpoint63c (2011/09/28)
+ o pkg/ebm:
+   - fix ebm_zonalmean.F for several procs in Ydir (nPy > 1); update output of
+     test exp. global_ocean_ebm (affects machine truncation, 12 digits for cg2d)
+ o pkg/seaice (SItracer pickup)
+ * Simple code for pickup of SItracer fields (#define ALLOW_SITRACER)
+   To be done:
+   - thorough testing of missing fields in S/R seaice_read_pickup
+   - thorough matching between generic tracers and specific fields used
+     (e.g. volume-weighted age, area-weighted age, salinity, ...)
+ o pkg/grdchk:
+   - all procs calculate and print finite-difference gradient (for testreport)
+   - change description output used by testreport;
+   - AD testing: also compare and report Finite-difference gradient;
+     => update all output_adm*.txt
+ o test exp. global_ocean_ebm:
+   - switch back useRealFreshWaterFlux (no problem anymore with run-off);
+     and turn on exactConserve; update (fwd) output.
+ o pkg/seaice (LSR):
+   - print to STDOUT number of solver iterations at SEAICE_monFreq interval.
+   - modify solver to deal cleanly with u/v switch at face edges (CS-grid):
+     * identical results with non-CS topology (but save up to half of EXCH calls)
+     * no much changes in cs-32 verification tests since no ice at face edges
+      (differences due to convergence criteria, since nb of iterations changed)
+     * expect some differences on lat-lon-cap grid.
+     update FWD results of global_ocean.cs32x15 test exp. (icedyn & seaice)
+ o pkg/exch2:
+   - add new CPP option to disable Cumul-Sum matrix (to save storage when using
+     many tiles); until alternative coding is added, just add a stop.
+ o pkg/kpp:
+   - move ptracer/salt correction to KPP diffusivity from calc_3d_diffusivity.F
+     to S/R KPP_CALC_DIFF_PTR (+ add tracer-index to argument list).
+ o optfiles:
+   - merged few MPI specific (*+mpi*) and multi-threads specific (*+mth) optfiles
+     into corresponding standard one, which now support different build:
+     (when using "genmake2 -mpi" for MPI built, "genmake2 -omp" for OpenMP built)
+   - add "darwin_amd64_gfortran" optfile (initially from Constantinos, tested by Gael)
+ o pkg/obcs (seaice):
+   - add missing EXCH for uIce,vIce after applying OBCS;
+   - remove S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_X/Y , disable S/R EXF_SET_OBCS_X/Y by adding
+     argument = number of levels to S/R EXF_SWAPFFIELDS_XZ/YZ and S/R
+     EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ ; update obcs_exf_load.F;
+   - fix EXF_SET_OBCS_XZ/YZ for multi-threaded (assuming loaded arrays are shared)
+   - verification exp. seaice_obcs: split domain in 2 tiles ; add SIZE.h_mpi
+     and eedata.mth for MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
+ o pkg/flt:
+   - make FLT EXCH working with multi-threads (and MPI + multi-threads);
+   - use buffer for floats IO (trajectories & profiles); size set in FLT_SIZE.h;
+   - fix pickup and trajectories + profiles output with multi-threads;
+   - add parameter to select group of fields to write along trajectory and
+     profile (default unchanged);
+   - only call PORT_RAND* function when flt_noise <> 0;
+   - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. flt_example.
+ o eesupp/src:
+   - fix S/R ALL_PROC_DIE for MPI+multi-threads.
+   - USE_OMP_THREADING: check that number of threads (from eedata) matches
+     actual number (from env.var. setting).
+ o pkg/ebm:
+   - fix multi-threading in ebm_area_t.F ; clean-up EBM.h header file.
+   - add multi-threaded test for verification exp. global_ocean_ebm
+ checkpoint63b (2011/08/29)
+ o pkg/ebm:
+   - fix sign of runoff;
+   - update directly forcing fields (Qnet,EmPmR) to use standard
+     external_forcing_surf.F (remove ebm_forcing_surf.F);
+   - avoid loading forcing fields a 2nd time (1rst time from ini_forcing.F);
+   - set either tauThetaClimRelax (in data) or tauThetaZonRelax (in data.ebm)
+     and apply relaxation towards corresponding SST field (2-D map or ZonAver).
+   - update global_ocean_ebm parameters file data and update output (fwd+ad).
+ o verification/matrix_example:
+   - split domain in 8 tiles (2x4); add SIZE.h_mpi and eedata.mth for
+     MPI and mutlti-threaded testing.
+ o pkg/matrix:
+   - change name of S/R MATRIX_INIT to S/R MATRIX_INIT_VARIA ;
+   - fix for multi-tiles (add bi,bj indices to exp/impMatrixCounter);
+   - fix for multi-threaded (remove DATA statement);
+   - use standard DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE function;
+   - add MATRIX_OPTIONS.h
+ o verification/matrix_example:
+    To allow to split the domain in several tiles, change the domain size
+     from 31x31 to 32x32 by adding 1 row (on Southern side) + 1 column (on
+     Western side) of land points.
+ o (*_)write_pickup:
+   - fix few bugs in mypackage_read/write_pickup.F
+   - in MDS_WR_METAFILES calls, replace "myTime" by a local copy into
+     array of length 1 (was caught by compiler syntax-check).
+ o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential solver):
+   - fix initialisation of main diagonal matrix (for overlap values)
+ o tools/build_options:
+   - towards single optfile for MPI and non-MPI built: merge few +mpi optfile
+     into previously non MPI one (linux_am64 pgf77,open64,pathf90,ifort11)
+   - linux_amd64_gfortran: merge +mpi_generic version into standard optfile:
+     * move IEEE flags to DEVEL section; take IEEE flags from +mpi_generic ;
+     * FAST case: for now, keep -O3 with ini_masks_etc.F in NOOPTFILES list;
+     and use "-devel" testreport option for standard testing on baudelaire.
+ o pkg/grdchk:
+   - Assume that all gradient-check position are within the same tile
+     corresponding to global indices (iGloTile,jGloTile) and that
+     positions (i,j indices or nbeg) are local to this tile;
+   - set tile local-indices and proc. number according to tile global-indices;
+   - remove grdchkwhichproc from namelist (retired param);
+   - send adjoint gradient to all procs so that all procs print it to STDOUT;
+   - switch on MPI test for global_ocean.90x40x15 AD test experiment.
+ o adding package bbl (Bottom Boundary Layer)
+   description in MITgcm/pkg/bbl/bbl_description.tex
+   example/test experiment in MITgcm_contrib/bbl
+ o adjoint verifications
+   - changed 5 experiments to multi-tiles
+     * global_ocean.90x40x15
+     * obcs_ctrl
+     * offline_exf_seaice
+     * tutorial_dic_adjoffline
+     * tutorial_tracer_adjsens
+     changed reference output for those that crossed tile boundaries
+     (changed choices of gradient check positions)
+   - with same tiling, switch on MPI test for the last 4 (add SIZE.h_mpi)
+   - temporary bug fix in grdchk_loc.F for obcs
+ o genmake2 & testreport
+   - add target "obj" (just for OBJFILES files) to Makefile;
+   - add option to specify FEXTRAFLAGS on command line.
+ o pkg/mypackage:
+   - remove bi,bj arguments from argument list of S/R MYPACKAGE_CALC_RHS
+ checkpoint63a (2011/08/02)
+ o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
+   - fix velocity-potential calculation when using OBCS: balance net inflow
+     at each level (new S/R OBCS_DIAG_BALANCE).
+   - fix some of the problems with OBCS in stream-function calculation.
+ o pkg/exf/exf_readparms.F
+   - make treatment of optional namelists (EXF_NML_04, EXF_NML_SGRUNOFF,
+     EXF_NML_OBCS) more consistent, so that you need not have these lists
+     in data.exf when they are not used.
+ o optim/optim_readdata.F:
+   - add some output about obcs variables that might help debugging
+   - add a check about nvarlength
+ o pkg/ctrl: once again, fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
+ o pkg/diagnostics (velocity potential):
+   - fix mask for OBCS (still problems in stream-function with OBCS);
+   - add specific parameter (default = main code CG2D params) for solver;
+   - in case of poor convergence, use solution corresponding to lowest residual.
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F: small changes that permit vectorizable
+   adjoint code. In general statements like tmpscal=fld(i,j) are problematic
+   and should be avoided where possible.
+ o model/src (rStar):
+   - include r* effect on reference-state (PhiRef) in totPhiHyd
+     (so that it's really the potential anomaly at the cell center);
+     affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS.
+   - test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15: reduce viscA4 (was not stable) and
+     update output (because of z* in totPhiHyd and viscA4 changes);
+   - keep the previous diagnostics as "PHIHYDcR" (closer to potential anomaly
+     @ constant r) until interpolation at constant r is implemented.
+ o pkg/diagnostics
+   - fix RCENTER diagnostics in case cell center is not at interface middle
+ o add code for TEOS-10 (www.teos-10.org, McDougall et al. 2011). Use
+   this eos with eosType = 'TEOS10', in data (PARM01). This eos implies
+   that THETA and SALT are "conservative temperature" and "absolute
+   salinity"
+ o pkg/ctrl
+   - fix computation of endrec in s/r ctrl_init_rec
+   - ctrl_pack/unpack_*: remove unused variables and some obsolete code
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
+   - fix recomputation with FENTY_AREA_EXPANSION_CONTRACTION code,
+     remove then obsolete STORE directives
+   - fix STORE directives for tice and tices, so that only the
+     appropriate part of the fields are stored (and not the entire
+     field); update global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice AD output.
+   - cosmetic changes: adjust CPP flags and indentation for better
+     legibilty
+ o pkg/autodiff: add mnc-output of adBottomDragFld (code contributed by
+   Chris Wilson)
+ o pkg/gmredi:
+    Add Sub-Meso Eddies parameterisation from Baylor (for now, disabled with TAF),
+    and test it in verification exp. "front_relax.bvp" (update output.bvp.txt)
+ checkpoint63  (2011/07/11)
+ o pkg/exch2:
+  - rename+move: nTiles in W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h --> exch2_nTiles in W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h
+  - exch2 version of Cumul-Sum routine: S/R W2_SET_MAP_CUMSUM set up the
+    (2*nTiles)x(nTiles) Cumul-Sum matrix and Master Proc collects all tiles X,Y
+    increments, calculates Cumul-Sum @ tile origin and sends results to each tile.
+ o pkg/diagnostics:
+  - deal with pairs of post-processed diags which are computed together; in
+    particular, re-order list of diags within 1 file to save 2nd computation.
+  - add S/R to compute velocity stream-function (called after velocity-potential
+    calculation) from divergence free transport -> new diagnostics "PsiVEL".
+  - add parameter to select grid-point location where PsiVEL == 0.
+ o eesupp/src:
+    new S/R to calculate cumulated sum on tiled array, corner grid-cell location
+    (specific S/R needed with exch2 topology - for now, just print an error msg)
+ o pkg/shelfice
+  - Implement friction velocity-dependent transfer coefficients following
+    Holland and Jenkins, JPO, 1999
+    Original code by M. Losch with small modifs.
+    Enable with CPP option SHI_ALLOW_GAMMAFRICT
+    and runtime flag SHELFICEuseGammaFrict
+ o verification lab_sea & global_ocean.cs32x15:
+  - use tools/xmakedepend (instead of cyrus_makedepend, in genmake_local):
+    does not miss some dependencies (but is slower) and also works with many files
+    (default makedepend limitation for AD built).
+  - use cyrus_makedepend in adjustment.128x64x1 (so that it still tested).
+ o pkg/diagnostics:
+  - add run-time parameter "useMissingValue" (def=False) to fill land-point
+     (i.e., where mask=0) with MissingValue ; used only in MNC output file.
+    This replaces CPP-option DIAGNOSTICS_MISSING_VALUE.
+  - Extend the use of "missing_value" setting from data.diagnostics for the case
+    of counter-diagnostics (where fraction-weight is zero). This applies both to
+    MNC and MDS output files.
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
+   - add 'a priori' cap of latent heat flux based on actual mass considerations
+     when SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET is used in conjunction with the
+     non-legacy seaice_solve4temp.
+   - add diagnostic of the residual sublimation freshwater flux (the freshwater
+     flux taken from the ocean if the total actual latent heat fluxes exceed
+     the maximum)
+   - remove the CPP switch around the *_FWbySublim unit change and move diagnostic
+    fill for SIatmQnt, SIfwSubl, SIatmFW to the end of seaice_growth.F.
+   - add diagnostic of the actual sublimation freshwater flux (that is 0. ifndef
+    SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET) and of the latent heat flux (evap+sublim).
+   - bug fix : frWtrAtm needs a_FWbySublim ifdef SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET.
+   - bug fix : missing part to Martin's r_FWbySublim pathological case fix.
+ o verification 1D_ocean_ice_column:
+    made model domain truly 1x1x23 instead of 5x5x23 with only center cell (3,3,:) wet
+    update results
+ o pkg/diagnostics:
+  - Implement setting of "Post-Processed" diagnostics (corresponding to gdiag(5)='P')
+    which are not filled-up but computed from other diags ; In this case, the mate
+    diag points to the primary (filled-up) diag to used for post processing.
+  - Update Velocity-potential computation using post-processed diag framework.
+  ==> Change the ordering of fields and time-periods in MDS output file
+    when using periodic averaging: now writes one time record with the full set
+    of fields for this time period, then the next time reccord (it used to be
+    one field with the full set of time records then the next field).
+      Note: this is now similar to NetCDF (MNC) output file. <==
+ checkpoint62z (2011/06/21)
+ o adjoint monitor:
+  - Add adjoint monitor output for packages exf, seaice
+    and update relevant testreport output
+ o pkg/seaice:
+  - re-order diags inits so that they appear in order in available_diagnostics.log
+  - added diags: hsnow thermo. rates of change, area preceeding ridiging process,
+    area/heff/hsnow preceeding thermodynamic growth/melt.
+  - modified diag: SIdA; output actual effect, as the description states.
+  - modified description: SIqneti, SIqneto, SIuheff, SIvheff, SIdAb*, HSNOW.
+  - retired redundant diags: SIyneg, SIfice, SIsnwice, SIthdgrh.
+    (SIyneg->SIdHbOCN; SIfice->SIdHbATC; SIsnwice->SIdHbFLO;
+     and SIthdgrh->SIdHbOCN+SIdHbATC+SIdHbATO)
+  - modified diags (2) : switch all SIdA*, SIdH*, SIdS* from delta to rates.
+  - added diagnostics for seaice generic tracers (SItr*).
+  - added SItrUnit and SItrNameLong run time param (for SItr* diags).
+  - in diag names, replaced 'PrTh' abbrev. of 'preceeding thermo' with 'PT'.
+  I. Fenty: 18-Jun-2011:
+  Minor changes to seaice package:
+) Retired old variables (A22, SEAICE_lhsublim, areaMax, areaMin, hiceMin) and
+     added some new ones (SEAICE_area_reg, SEAICE_hice_reg, SEAICE_area_floor)
+    - Differentiated "regularization variables" from "floor variables"
+     * areaMin became SEAICE_area_reg (old A22) and SEAICE_area_floor
+     * hiceMin became SEAICE_hice_reg (old hiceMin)
+       (with _reg meaning regularization variable)
+    - SEAICE_lhSublim becomes lhSublim, the sum of SEAICE_lhEvap and SEAICE_lhFusion
+     so as to ensure energy conservation when going between phases
+   - A22 was not used anywhere
+) Changed regularization procedure for heffActual and hsnowActual to ensure
+     well-boundedness and smooth adjoint in seaice_growth.F
+) Fixed a bug where seaice_solve4temp would not recognize ice-free grid cells
+     because the old regularization always set heffActual >= 0.05 cm
+) Changed the model so that the default behavior is to put a small (10^-5) "floor"
+     on AREA when HEFF > 0.
+   - went from requiring ALLOW_PRECLUDE_INFINITESIMAL_AREA to be defined to
+     requiring that DISABLE_AREA_FLOOR *not* be defined
+  Affected verifications:
+   - 1D_ocean_ice_column (output.txt output_adm.txt)
+   - global_ocean.cs32x15 (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt)
+ o pkg/diagnostics:
+   - move MNC code from diagnostics_out.F into new diagnostics_mnc_out.F (2 S/R).
+   - rename S/R GETDIAG to DIAGNOSTICS_GET_DIAG and change type of 1rst argument
+     (was _RL, now integer) with option = 0 to retrieve all levels.
+   - add pieces of code to compute velocity potential at each level (new diagnostics
+     PhiVEL, works only when UVELMASS & VVELMASS are also turned on);
+     for now, using same params as CG2D (target-resisual, max Nb of iter ...).
+   - fix few issues with counter diagnostics in diagnostics_setdiag.F &
+     diagstats_setdiag.F (if diagnostic counter is itself a counter diag)
+     and in diagnostics_fract_fill.F (do not need a valid pointer for the
+     diagnostics counter-mate); check that definition of counter-diagnostic
+     includes a valid counter-mate (in diagnostics_set_levels.F).
+ o model/src (rStar):
+   - add rStar scaling factor in diags_phi_hyd.F (similar to calc_grad_phi_hyd.F);
+     affect solution only if z* with full pressure in EOS;
+     update output of test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - introduce siEps=1e-5 parameter
+   - use areaMax in AREA update (part 4), consistent with ridging step (part 2.5).
+   - re-organize SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET code.
+   - introduce ALLOW_SITRACER and seaice_tracer_phys.F to handle generic seaice tracer.
+     For now it covers, and was tested for, ice salinity and age (attached to HEFF),
+     as well as ice cover age and ridging index (attached to AREA).
+     For now the run time parameters (in data.seaice/SEAICE_PARM03) are
+     SItrName (e.g. 'age') and SItrMate ('HEFF', which is the default, or 'AREA').
+     Up to SItrMaxNum=3 tracers can be used simultaneously.
+ o pkg/salt_plume:
+   -introduce SPsalFRAC run time parameter that sets the fraction of the
+    salt by-product of ice growth (SPsalFRAC*(1-SIsalFRAC)*salt typically)
+    that gets vertically redistributed (fluxed down) by pkg/salt_plume.
+ o model debug options:
+   - Switch reading of debugMode from S/R INI_PARMS (parameter file "data", stored
+     in PARAMS.h) to S/R EESET_PARMS (parameter file "eedata", stored in EEPARAMS.h).
+   - Refine debug-msg printing selection (3 new levels):
+     debugMode  : controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
+     debugLevel : controls printing of algorithm-relevant auxiliary/debug messages
+      debLevZero =  0 ; /* level of disabled aux. msg printing */
+      debLevA =  1 ; /* level of minimum  aux. msg printing */
+      debLevB =  2 ; /* level of low aux. print (report read-file opening)*/
+      debLevC =  3 ; /* level of moderate debug prt (most pkgs debug msg) */
+      debLevD =  4 ; /* level of enhanced debug prt (add DEBUG_STATS prt) */
+      debLevE =  5 ; /* level of extensive debug printing */
+     New debugLevel default: with default debugMode value (=F),
+       = 2 (debLevB) or = 1 (debLevA) in case ALLOW_AUTODIFF is defined.;
+       and if debugMode=T, default debugLevel = 4 (debLevD).
+     Relation with previous settings:
+      debLevB (=2) corresponds to former debLevA (=1)
+      debLevD (=4) corresponds to former debLevB (=2)
+     Note:
+      a) if debugLevel=0, skip WRITE_GRID call when nIter0 > 0 (same as before);
+      b) default debugLevel=1 is convenient in AD runs (avoid many file opening msgs);
+         to recover previous default, set debugLevel=2 (e.g. AD-test hs94.1x64x5)
+   - Add new parameter (printResidualFreq, read from PARM02 namelist) to print
+     detailed CG solvers convergence; off (=0) by default, except if debugLevel=5.
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   - change OBCSfixTopo default from True to False (should not change the results);
+     keep OBCSfixTopo=T in verification-exp. seaice_obcs.
+ o pkg/thsice:
+   - fix bug in thsice_calc_thickn.F (was introduced in version 1.18) in
+nd layer seaice sublimation (unlikely to happen)
+   - use Interior mask for OBCS in thsice_advection.F (similar to what is
+     done in gad_advection & seaice_advection).
+ o adjoint:
+   bug fix spotted by Gael Forget:
+   seaice_advection and thsice_advection still had
+   legacy CPP options to avoid CS corner updates for adjoint
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   => Change some of the defaults (2011/05/29):
+      - change SEAICEuseFluxForm default (from False to True)
+      - change DIFF1 default (from 0.004 m/s to 0. m/s)
+      And print warnings if DIFF1 is not set in data.seaice and centered
+       avection scheme is used without any diffusion.
+   also:
+   - fix seaice_diffusion calls in default AdvScheme part of seaice_advdiff.F;
+   - set SEAICEdiffKh[] default in the same way as SEAICEadvSch[]
+   - stop if DIFF1<>0 with SEAICEadvScheme <> 2, if DIFF1<>0 with any
+     other non-zero SEAICEdiffKh[] diffusivity, if SEAICEadvSalt=T with
+     #undef SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY, if SEAICEadvAge=T with #undef SEAICE_AGE.
+   update results of test exp.:
+      lab_sea: output.fd (switch to AdvScheme=33 with diffKh=20)
+          output.hb87, output_adm.evp (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T and diffKh=200)
+          output_adm.noseaicedyn (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
+      offline_exf_seaice: output.seaicetd, output_adm (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
+      seaice_obcs: output (SEAICEuseFluxForm=T)
+   and prescribe old default for SEAICEuseFluxForm (=F) and DIFF1 (=0.004)
+       for standard fwd & AD lab_sea tests (to keep the same output).
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
+   - use Ian Fenty's capping formulas for actual ice
+   thickness thoughout EVOLUTION branch.
+   - put treatment pathological case #2) in CPP brackets
+   (ALLOW_AVOID_INFINITESIMAL_AREA, undef by default).
+   - update global_ocean.cs32x15 and 1D_ocean_ice_colum results accordingly.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - seaice_diffusion.F : remove the min(DX,DY) factor permanently;
+   pass the Laplacian diffusivity (in m^2/s) diffKh as a parameter;
+   also pass fac as a param, which can be 1. (to update the tendency
+   field) or the time step (to update the field itself).
+   - seaice_advdiff.F: for multidim, call seaice_diffusion with
+   e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=1; for single-dim, call
+   seaice_diffusion with e.g. SEAICEdiffKhHeff and with fac=time step.
+   - SEAICE_PARAMS.h, seaice_readparms.F, seaice_check.F :
+   hooks to handle SEAICEdiffKhHeff, SEAICEdiffKhArea, etc.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   diffusion with centered advection scheme (diffus.F & advect.F):
+   - simplify S/R DIFFUS (put deltaT & DIFF1 factor outside, move EXCH outside)
+     to just compute the laplacian of input-field.
+   - unroll k loop (harmonic,biharmonic diff) in advect.F to save 1 exch call.
+   - fix flux-form version in diffus.F to conserve tracer.
+   update output of lab_sea.fd & lab_sea.hb87 (1rst set of modif affects
+    machine truncation) and lab_sea.salt_plume (conservative flux-form modif)
+ checkpoint62y (2011/05/26)
+ o pkg/seaice:
+  - seaice_growth.F : in EVOLUTION branch, always include
+    a_QSWbyATM_cover in qnet (as it should be).
+  - verification/global_ocean.cs32x15 : update results accordingly
+    (output.seaice.txt output_adm.seaice.txt).
+ o pkg/seaice + obcs:
+  - use maskInW & maskInS in multi-dim advection and biharmonic diffusion:
+    equivalent of assuming no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
+    update output of seaice_obcs (uses DIFF1 <>0 => biharmonic diffusion)
+  - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH calls (no longer needed
+    after changes above);
+  - obcs+seaice cleaning: apply seaice-tracer OB values to tracer field
+    only at OB location (instead of over a band of OLx width).
+ o pkg/seaice:
+  - fix wrong indices in old (non Flux-Form) diffusion default S/R diffus.F
+    (dxG(I+1, ...) changed to dxG(I, ...), no impact on Lat-Lon grid)
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   - split header file "OBCS.h" into 4 separated files:
+     OBCS_PARAMS.h, OBCS_GRID.h, OBCS_FIELDS.h & OBCS_SEAICE.h
+    Note: OBCS_PARAMS.h & OBCS_GRID.h can be included without OBCS_OPTIONS.h
+      (contain no conditional statement which depends on OBCS options).
+   - move "useOBCSYearlyFields" from "data.obcs" (hold in OBCS_PARAMS.h)
+     to parameter file "data.exf", namelist EXF_NML_OBCS (in EXF_PARAM.h).
+ o ctrl, cost, grdchk & autodiff pkgs:
+   - make options file more standard (like other {PKG}_OPTIONS.h file but
+     with AD_CONFIG.h); clean-up some of the included header files.
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   - do not mask tracer when applying OB (tracer == 0 could generate problems)
+   - apply tracer OB values to tracer field only at OB location (instead of
+     over a band of OLx width)
+   - clean-up obcs_apply_w.F & obcs_apply_eta.F (since less calls to these S/R)
+   - remove OBCS_MULTIDIM_OLD_VERSION code in gad_advection.F and remove
+     obcs_apply_tloc.F & obcs_apply_sloc.F
+ o obcs in model/src:
+   - call OBCS_APPLY_W only if NonHydrostatic.
+   - call OBCS_APPLY_ETA only if NonLinFreeSurf.
+   - reset dEtaHdt and wVel to zero outside OB interior region ;
+   - leave tracer unchanged outside OB interior region: This has no effect
+     on the solution but just to prevent unrealistic tracer value outside OB.
+   - zero out velocity outside OB interior region: This has no effect on
+     the solution but just to prevent unrealistic velocity outside OB.
+ o obcs and non-lin free-surf:
+    move call to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR from update_r_star.F to calc_r_star.F
+    and call to OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR from update_surf_dr.F to calc_surf_dr.F
+    + add argument "etaFld" to OBCS_APPLY_R_STAR & OBCS_APPLY_SURF_DR:
+    this fixes missing EXCH + get consistent eta OB value (+ fix restart).
+    update results of test-exp. exp4(nlfs).
+ o exp4 (nlfs) test-exp:
+    use OBC for Eta at Western & Eastern OB (to test prescribing Eta
+    with NonLin-FreeSurf); update output.nlfs.txt
+ o obcs and 2d/3d solver norm:
+    use interior masks (maskInC) to cancel out cg2d & cg3d matrix coeff at OB
+    and outside OB interior region (will allow to place OB further inside the
+    domain). Depending on the domain, can affects cg2d-Norm (previous
+    cancellation outside OB was only partial), e.g. in exp4 & obcs_ctrl,
+    and cg3d-Norm (previous Norm was computed before canceling OB terms),
+    e.g. in tutorial_plume_on_slope.
+   - update output of exp.: exp4 (x2), obcs_ctrl and tutorial_plume_on_slope.
+ o pkg rbcs:
+   - split RBCS.h into 3 files: RBCS_SIZE.h, RBCS_PARAMS.h & RBCS_FIELDS.h
+   - add capability to apply relaxation to horizontal velocity uVel & vVel.
+ o pkg/grdchk: add gradient check for control variable xx_shifwflx
+ o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_init_fixed.F
+   fix CPP-flag combinations
+ o pkg/seaice: Merge iceage code of Pierre Rampal
+   * update/change/correct ice age calculations
+   * add age updates for pathological cases
+   Probably needs more testing...
+ checkpoint62x (2011/05/13)
+ o pkg/mom_vecinv:
+    high-order vorticity scheme: use interior masks (maskInW & S)
+    to zero-out (outside OB) gradient of vorticity.
+ o verification exp.:
+    turn on "useEnergyConservingCoriolis" (better discretisation) in exp.
+    hs94.128x64x5 and seaice_obcs ; update results.
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   fix bug in OBeta for YZ sections in obcs_exf_load.F
+ o pkg/ctrl, pkg/shelfice, and optim:
+   - add new control variable xx_shifwflx (fresh water flux underneath ice
+     shelves). This is almost as tedious as obcs-ctrl, because the
+     variables needs its own mask.
+   - add a cost function term that penalizes the deviation of xx_shifwflx
+     from the first guess (zero) in analogy to other control variables
+ o pkg/shelfice:
+   - start basic adjoint
+ o pkg/ctrl:
+   - remove extra 2D field "for good measure" when initializing in
+     ctrl_set_globfld_[xy/xz/yz].F
+   - replace hard coded precision 32 (a bug) in ctrl_map_ini_gen by ctrlprec
+   - improve error messages in ctrl_set_unpack_*
+ o OBC implementation in momentum:
+    use interior masks (maskInC,W & S) in momentum S/R:
+    - multiply divergence, tension and some del^i.u or del^j.v by maskInC
+    - multiply del2u,del2v by maskInW/S (biharmonic viscosity)
+    - multiply horiz. grad of vorticity by maskInW/S (in Leith scheme)
+    - multiply gradient of wVel by maskInW/S in del2w calculation (NonHyd)
+    Motivation: fix/clean implementation of OBC with biharmonic-viscosity
+     (and also with Leith/Smagorinsky harmonic-viscosity).
+    Update output of experiment dome and exp4 (+nlfs).
+ o exp4 test-exp:
+   - turn on: nonHydrostatic, exactConserv, viscA4 (with momDissip_In_AB=F)
+     and prescribe time-varying OB (without pkg/exf) for zonal-velocity
+     at Western & Eastern Boundaries (+/- 1 per-cent); Also prescribe
+     time-varying OB at Western-side for wVel (NonHyd); update output.
+   - add secondary set-up (.nlfs) using NonLin FreeSurf (z*) + mom_vecinv
+     and biharmonic-viscosity ; also use prescribed time varying OB.
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   fix bug in OBWeta,OBWeta indices in obcs_apply_r_star.F
+ o model/src:
+   - fix startTime setting when baseTime<>0 & nIter0=0 are specified ;
+   - initialise startTime & nIter0 with unlikely values: allows to set one
+     from the other without ambiguity.
+ o seaice_obcs test-exp.:
+   add small diffK4T,S to test biharmonic diffusivity with OBCS ; update output.
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   - remove calls to OBCS_COPY_TRACER after EXCH for T,S & pTracer:
+     no longer needed with maskInC,W,S in pkg/generic_advdiff.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - retired SEAICE_SALINITY and SEAICE_salinity in favor of
+     SEAICE_VARIABLE_SALINITY and SIsalFRAC, respectively.
+   - fixed bug in the initialization of sea ice salinity variable HSALT
+     in seaice_init_varia.F  (removed dependence on ICE2WATR)
+ o fizhi-cs test exp.:
+    switch reference output convention for these 2 non-standard test-exp,
+     from: pgi  6.1-5 on faulks (FC.6, -of linux_ia32_pgf77+authors_fc5)
+       to: ifort 11.1 on baudelaire (FC.13, -of linux_amd64_ifort11)
+    reason: faulks might get retired soon and pkg/fizhi has still Pb with gfortran
+ o model/inc:
+   - change type of PmEpR array (from _RS to _RL) to fix restart (with "-use_r4")
+     of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15 (Suncronous time-stepping + Real-FW + NonLin-FS)
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - fix calculation of saltFlux and saltPlumeFlux when using SEAICE_SALINITY
+ o verification/lab_sea, 1D_ocean_ice_column, seaice_obcs, global_ocean.cs32x15
+   - updated output*.txt files due to bug fixes in salt, saltPlumeFlux,
+     and initial HSALT
+ checkpoint62w (2011/04/26)
+ o pkg/mom_fluxform:
+   - fix calculation of del2u & del2v (no-slip BC) when using Non-Lin Free-Surf.
+   - use parameter "sideDragFactor" in no-slip BC side-drag part.
+   - update output of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
+ o pkg/mom_vecinv:
+   mask del2u & del2v (no effect on results, but cleaner & closer to mom_fluxform)
+ o update seaice exp.:
+   use more consistent parameter values (remove "backward compatability only":
+    ICE2WATR, SEAICE_lhSublim, SEAICE_cpAir, SEAICE_rhoAir + set rhoConstFresh)
+   related to thermodynamics seaice. Update output (fwd+AD) of exp.:
+D_ocean_ice_column (x2), lab_sea (x8), ioffline_exf_seaice (x2) & seaice_obcs
+ o update test-exp global_ocean.90x40x15:
+   o use default CD_CODE_OPTIONS file (Adams-Bashforth on CD Mom & Coriolis).
+   o increase Overlap size from 2 to 3 (to allow to test bi-harmonic Visc.)
+   o new pickup-files from a 100.yr run with pkg/down_slope (input.dwnslp params)
+   o turn on zStar & viscA4 in standard set-up (dir input/)
+     and update output files: output.txt & output.dwnslp.txt
+ o new AD-test experiment: obcs_ctrl
+   (From Matt MITgcm_Contrib/SOSE/BoxAdj) to test OBCS as control vector.
+ o pkg/dic:
+   fix two bugs in handling water vapour pressure in carbonate chemistry
+   and air-sea fluxes. Found by Val Bennington and Galen McKinley
+   (add DIC Option = WATERVAP_BUG to recover old results)
+   update output of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (fwd+AD) & tutorial_dic_adjoffline
+ o adding allowInteriorFreezing option to check for water below freezing point
+   at depth and bring the negative heat anomaly to the surface level
+ o pkgs _fields_load:
+   - extend GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to deal with non-periodic case (from pkg/rbcs)
+   - use new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL in pkgs:
+     bulk_force, cheapaml, cfc, dic, obcs (+ ctrl/ctrl_get_gen_rec), offline and
+     rbcs to get interpolation weights and time reccord number.
+   - fix multi-threading in aim_fields_load.F
+   - apply EXCH to temp arrays [0,1] after reading in dic_fields_load.F
+ o external_fields_load:
+   new S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL to calculate which time-record (and linear
+    interpolation weights) to use in a periodic time-series ; do not divide by
+    time-step to convert to integer:
+    - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is not multiple of time-step
+       (Thanks to Christopher L. Wolfe)
+    - this fixes case where externForcingPeriod is an odd multiple of time-step
+      (was wrong by half of time-step); update results of tutorial_global_oce_in_p.
+   store index of time-record which is currently loaded:
+    - works without any assumption on sequence of calls to EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD ;
+    - needed for the adjoint but not yet used because of extensive recomputations;
+      (to be fixed soon)
+ checkpoint62v (2011/04/02)
+ o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column added to test Ian Fenty's
+   pkg/seaice_growth.F modifications for improving sea ice code differentiability
+ o update output of exp4, internal_wave, seaice_obcs, tutorial_plume_on_slope
+   (new velocity statistics after changing maskInW & maskInS definition)
+ o pkg/generic_advdiff with OBCS:
+   use maksInW & maskInS in advective flux and in biharmonic diffusion calculation:
+   equivalent to assumption of no tracer gradient outside the OB region.
+   This will affect the results if using obcs+biharmonic diffusion.
+   update output_adm.txt of experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5 (not expected since no obc)
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   change definition of maskInW & maskInS: leave OB edges inside (maskIn=1)
+   (e.g., maskInW(OB_Ie)=1 ) so that velocity normal-component at OB is still
+   in Interior region. No impact on solution but affects Velocity monitor stats.
+ o pkg/ptracers (adjoint)
+   New option AUTODIFF_PTRACERS_SPLIT_FILES for writing separate
+   tape file for each tracer
+ o model/inc/src and pkg/autodiff: add parameters that allow to turn
+   of parts of the adjoint code at run time. For now, there are only
+   useKPPinAdMode, useGMrediInAdMode, and useSEAICEinAdMode. These
+   parameters are set in data.pkg.
+   This is the lazy coward's version of doing this, but still useful for
+   debugging. In order to do it right, everything needs to be moved to
+   pkg/autodiff.
+ o pkg/autodiff: fix global_sum_tile_ad.F by resetting adsumPhi at
+   the end; this fixes the adjoint balancing code for open boundaries.
+ o pkg/ctrl:
+   - change behavior of xx_${varname}period to be analogous to exf-conventions:
+     xx_${varname}period =   0.,  means time-independent control part
+     xx_${varname}period = -12., means one-year-periodic monthly control part
+   - introduce helper routine ctrl_init_rec (part of ctrl_init.F) to
+     clean up ctrl_init a little, remove unused variables
+   - ctrl_init: fixed the handling of the start/endrec for obcs-variables
+   - move "call cal_GetMonthsRec" from s/r ctrl_get_gen to s/r ctrl_get_gen_rec
+ checkpoint62u (2011/03/15)
+ o model/src:
+   - for the adjoint, change NonLin-FreeSurf initialisation sequence: fill-in
+     h0Fac from INITIALISE_FIXED and reset hFac to h0Fac in INITIALISE_VARIA ;
+   - in initialise_varia.F (except for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL) remove 2nd call to
+     INI_DEPTHS, INI_MASKS_ETC & INI_LINEAR_PHISURF.
+ o pkg/ctrl/obcs/ecco:
+   - remove obsolete, unused, and partially broken code:
+     ctrl_obcsvol/ctrl_obcsbal/ctrl_volflux and code within
+     ALLOW_CTRL_OBCS_BALANCE
+   - put a stop statement into ecco/cost_obcsvol.F, but also add
+     cost_obcsvol to ecco_ad_diff.list
+ o pkg/ecco: fix counting cost function contributions for obcs (code
+   by Matt M.) and diffkr for diagnostics
+ o pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk:
+   add cost penalty terms for initial uvel, vvel, eta controls
+   and I/O for prior error files
+ o pkg/mdsio:
+    move mds_check4file.F from eesupp/src to mdsio_check4file.F ; add option
+    (new argument) to check for tiled file in mdsioLocalDir : this fix the
+    restart from pickup_som , pickup_dic (& dic_co2atm) with mdsioLocalDir.
+ o pkg/ctrl:
+  - ctrl_obcsbal.F, ctrl_obcsvol.F: replace last calls of ctrl_getrec by
+    ctrl_get_gen_rec, put a stop statement into ctrl_getrec. Remove
+    unused and superfluous variables
+  - ctrl_get_gen_rec.F: catch the case of xx_genperiod=0.
+ o pkg/ecco
+  - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
+ o pkg/ctrl/ecco/grdchk:
+   - remove global declaration of tmpfldx/yz and tmpfldx/yz2.
+     Fortunately, we do not have any tests for the numerous cpp-flagged
+     option of "obcs as control parameters" so we will never know
+     if this is an improvement (but at least now things compile).
+   - remove an obsolete initialization from ecco_cost_init_barfiles.F
+   - fix some problems within never used ifdefs to make the code compile
+ o pkg/obcs:
+  - Refine Interior mask definition to work with more complex OB (e.g.
+    if OB_Ie < OB_Iw); In case default setting is not sufficient, allows to
+    read in Interior mask from file. Check if Interior mask is consistent
+    with OB list of indices.
+ o pkg/seaice
+  - beginning code for a seaice tracer package,
+    but currently only used for seaice age: SEAICE_AGE
+    SEAICE_num = 4
+    iTracer = 1: area-weighted ice age
+            = 2: volume-weighted ice age
+            = 3, 4: template for one-year vs. multi-year ice
+    data.seaice has new namelist SEAICE_PARM03 for arrays related to
+    SEAICE_num
+ checkpoint62t (2011/03/05)
+ o pkg/obcs:
+  - obcs_apply_uv.F: change to a 2 steps method, first tangential component;
+    then normal component. This ensures that the normal component is set
+    correctly even when it conficts with tangential setting from an other OB.
+    Affects results of test-experiment seaice_obcs: update the output.txt
+ o pkg/obcs:
+  - add code to monitor statistics of dynamical fields at OB.
+  - take OBCS_BALANCE code out of obcs_calc.F into new S/R OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW :
+    - fix to OBCS_BALANCE code (right hFac ; deal with simple OB intersection).
+    - change default: balance the Net inflow through all OB (instead of balancing
+      each OB separately); keep the old method if setting OBC_balanceFacX < 0.
+  - switch on useOBCSbalance in dome experiment: only correct Western OB outflow
+    to match Nortern OB inflow (OBCS_balanceFacN=0).
+ o pkg/seaice:
+  - redefined actual sea ice age to be ICEAGE/HEFF ifdef SEAICE_AGE_VOL
+ o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.113):
+  - reverting seaice_growth to v 1.111 in order to have code with exact bit
+    compatibility with MITgcm_contrib/ifenty/Fenty_seaice_thermo_code_merge
+    CPP option SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA removed in v 1.112 is reintroduced
+    runtime flag SEAICEareaFormula is kept but is inactive
+ o model/src:
+  - add new param to scale curvilinear grid distance and area when using
+    a different sphere radius from the grid-files.
+  - test/check multi-threads EXCH applied to local variable (cg2d_x)
+ o adjoint:
+  - enable adjoint of Stevens OB
+  - add dummy_in_dynamics to enable extraction of ADJrhoinsitu
+    (a bit delicate because of potentially modified adj. common block structure;
+    current switch is ALLOW_AUTODIFF_MONITOR_DIAG, could be changed later)
+ checkpoint62s (2011/02/15)
+ o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.112):
+  - introduce SEAICEareaFormula run time parameter, which selects the recipe for
+    computing the ice cover tendency from effective thickness tendencies. Include
+    Ian Fenty's formula.
+  - remove 'undef SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA' which may now be achieved using
+    SEAICEareaFormula.
+  - simplify notations for the various d_HEFF/d_AREA terms.
+ o pkg/gmredi:
+  - add Boundary-Value-Problem bolus transport (Ferrari etal, OM 2010) code
+    from Christopher Wolfe (UCSD); add partial cell factor in vertical derivative;
+    add a verification test-run (front_relax.bvp) to test GM_useBVP.
+ o pkg/seaice (seaice_growth v 1.111):
+  - for SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH, replace Gael's implementation with Ian's.
+  - the new SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_MELT allows open-water air-sea heat fluxes to
+    also melt ice.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+  - McPhee formula for Ice-Ocean fluxes (provided by Ian Fenty).
+  - can be used by #define MCPHEE_OCEAN_ICE_HEAT_FLUX in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
+ o pkg/cheapaml:
+  - from Nico Wienders: New version of this package.
+ o pkg/flt:
+  - add CPP options to prevent floats to re-enter the opposite side of
+    a periodic domain (default: keep periodicity)
+ o pkg/gmredi:
+  - apply exchange to GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY to get valid values near CS-corners
+    (needed for multi-dim advection).
+  - switch on GM Advective form in global_ocean.cs32x15 and update output.txt
+ o model/src:
+  - fix wrong re-setting of addMass array (ALLOW_ADDFLUID) for atmospheric run.
+ o tutorial_tracer_adjsens
+  - extend to NLFS and replace maskC by hFacC
+    (change reference output accordingly)
+ checkpoint62r (2011/01/24)
+ o testreport:
+  - add option -deloutp (-do) to remove output file after successful run
+  - add option -mfile (-mf) for MPI machile-file and for each test-exp,
+    extract exact list of procs from this file ; adjust COMMAND by
+    replacing TR_MFILE & TR_NPROC with local machile-file & Nb of MPI procs.
+ o pkg/ecco: replace old ineffective way of penalizing deviations from
+   first guess (of obcs) with code by Matt Mazloff
+ o pkg/ctrl: add code that allows the use of ALLOW_OBCS?_CONTROL without
+   exf/cal
+   - ctrl_init: fix initialisation (computation of diffrec) for obcs-ctrl
+     and handle case of obcs?period == 0
+     Not affected by these changes: There is still an inconsistency in
+     the computation of start/endrec for the obcs variables for ALLOW_CAL
+     defined (see comment by Menemenlis, 7-Mar-2003)
+   - make S/R ctrl_get_gen_rec return something meaningful even if
+     ALLOW_CAL is not defined
+   - ctrl_getobcs?: simplify code so that it does not need to use
+                    S/R exf_swapfields
+ o testreport:
+    allow to test MPI with different number of processors for each experiment:
+    create file "SIZE.h.mpi" in each build dir.
+    Note: update of "-command" argument not yet implemented.
+ o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ecco, pkg/seaice:
+   alleviate the need for additional 3D tapes when using
+   the non-inear free surface in the adjoint. This is done
+   by adding an 'update' of hfacc etc. to their current
+   value at the beginning of forward_step.F.
+ o pkg/seaice
+   seaice_lsr: move stress-divergence computations out of outer pseudo-
+   timestepping loop
+ o pkg/obcs/obcs_prescribe_read.F: move 'CALL OBCS_EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD'
+   up, so that the calls of the ctrl_* subroutines are really at the end
+   of the routine.
+ o pkg/gmredi:
+   allow to specify a 2-D horizontal map and a 1-D vertical profil
+   as scaling factor for Isopycnal diffusivity (Redi) and GM diffusivity.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   move lsr iterations from seaice_dynsolver to seaice_lsr.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   reduce memory footprint of seaice mutldim advection tapes,
+   by using a 2D tape independent of the generic_advdiff ones,
+   and setting GAD_AREA=1 etc. rather than GAD_AREA=101 etc.
+ checkpoint62q (2010/12/29)
+ o model/src:
+   - check horizontal grid-spacing for unset or zero/negative values.
+   - change AD test hs94.1x64x5 to be truly a 2-D set-up.
+ o pkg/flt:
+   - use (recent) mdsio S/R MDS_READVEC_LOC instead of local FLT_MDSREADVECTOR
+   - precision of input and output files set according to readBinaryPrec
+     and writeBinaryPrec (previously always 64.b), pickup remains at 64 bits.
+   - initial float position from tiled file was not converted to index space
+     (looks like a bug): fixed to make it similar to initial pos. global file.
+ o global_ocean.cs32x15:
+    change SIZE.h of AD set-up to get same tiling as with MPI.
+    Update output_adm, output_adm.thsice (pass@14) & output_adm.seaice (fail@11)
+ o model/src:
+    add flag to control printing of domain fields (bathymetry, hFac ...) in
+    ini_mask_etc (call to plot_fieds_xy*).
+ o pkg/thsice:
+    if useEXF, some forcing fields are not valid in overlap: fixed by computing
+    over the interior only + apply EXCH at the end (like with SEAICE advection).
+ o pkg/mdsio:
+   - add 2 arguments to S/R MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL/S for overlap size of buffer
+     to copy to/from, so that it can be used to replace MDS_PASS_WH_R8toRL/RS.
+   - change barrier call for safe multi-threads access to 3-D shared buffer.
+   - MDS_READ/WRITEVEC_LOC use buffers from MDSIO_BUFF_3D.h (instead of local ones)
+   - replace call to MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL with call to MDS_PASS_R4/8toRL and
+     remove the 4 S/R MDS_PASS_WH_R4/8toRL/S.
+ o pkg/flt:
+   - add fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration
+   - add basic exch2 support (only 1 facet supported so far!)
+ o pkg/mdsio+rw:
+   new S/R to read local (or tile independent) vector (read counterpart of
+    mds_writevec_loc, and front-end write_glvec_rl/rs).
+ o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input_ad.seaice experiment
+     that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
+     (using multidim advection for seaice)
+ o towards more F95 syntax for array specification in namelist:
+   - change "data.diagnostics" (data.ptracers was changed before checkpoint62p)
+     of all verification experiments.
+        e.g.:    line: fields(1,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
+       was changed to: fields(1:2,3)='ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ',
+   - finish adding "-DNML_EXTENDED_F77" to DEFINES list in pgf77 and g77 optfiles
+ o global_ocean.cs32x15: additional input.seaice experiment
+     that uses pkg/seaice rather than pkg/thsice.
+ checkpoint62p (2010/12/17)
+ o pkg/thsice: rename (ad tape index) iicekey as ticekey, and move it
+     to THSICE_SIZE.h to avoid conflict with pkg/seaice.
+ o pkg/seaice: add seaice_diffusion.f seaice_map_thsice.f to adjoint.
+     allow for use of multim. advection in seaice adjoint.
+ o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for snow precipitation and sublimation flux
+   - first attempt to close budgets by taking into account the freshwater
+     flux implied by the sublimation of snow and ice. So far only the
+     volume budget is closed, turn on with soon-to-be-retired-again CPP-Flag
+     SEAICE_ADD_SUBLIMATION_TO_FWBUDGET
+ o eesupp/src:
+   new S/R with new option (NML_EXTENDED_F77) to change array specification
+   from F95 standard to commonly accepted extended F77 form.
+   This would allow to use F95 syntax in namelist (needed with gfortran 4.4.5)
+   and to revert back to the original syntax (with -DNML_EXTENDED_F77)
+   for less tolerant f77 compiler (e.g., pgf77, g77).
+ o globalFiles:
+   commented out in parameter file "data" since it's not safe with MPI
+   (e.g., wrong on aces); keep it if useSingleCpuIO=T (but not doing much
+   in this case); no longer commented out in restart test (tst_2+2).
+ o add adTapeDir to specify a special directory where adjoint tapes are
+   written/read (adread_adwrite.F). adTapeDir is specified in data/PARM05
+   and cannot be used together with mdsioLocalDir.
+ o nesting pkgs:
+   - packages_init_variables : put call to OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES in last position
+   - update Gianmaria's Nesting pkgs (from Contrib/nesting_sannino)
+   - add parameter files + utils dir + output from short run on beagle.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+     fix seaice_growth.F store directives; update results of exp. lab_sea.ad
+ o pkg/seaice: explicitly store tsurfloc in seaice_solve4temp.F to avoid
+   unnecessary copying in adjoint code, requires new parameter NMAX_ITER
+ checkpoint62o (2010/11/25)
+ o pkg/exf:
+   - change CPP option EXF_VERBOSE to run-time logical param exf_verbose.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   - seaice_ocean_stress: split a loop for better vectorization of the
+     adjoint code
+   - seaice_growth.F: fix bug in conservation of freshwater connected to
+     capping of heff, put contribution into d_HEFFbyNEG
+   - replace irritating parameters SEAICE_latentWater/Ice and SEAICE_sensHeat
+     by something more sensible (parameters that are what their name implies)
+   - change some defaults, so that by default exf-parameters are used for
+     things like rhoAir, cpAir,latent/sensible heat parameters, in order
+     to reproduce the old results, many data.seaice now contain funny values
+     for cpAir and latent heat of sublimation
+ o packages_readparms.F: move exf_readparms up in line so that
+     exf-parameters are visible for other packages (e.g. seaice)
+ o debugMode & debugLevel=2:
+   - differentiate between debugMode & debugLevel=2:
+     debugMode: controls printing of debug messages (sequence of S/R calls).
+     debugLevel: controls printing of algorithm intermediate results and stats.
+   - remove "if debugLevel=2 => debugMode" but keep "debugMode =>  debugLevel=2";
+     => allows to print debug-stats without all sequence of call messages.
+   - switch control of debug print from debugLevel to debugMode in many S/R.
+ o pkg/obcs (obcs-sponge):
+     fix bug that was introduced on Oct 25 (in dynamics.F v1.151): put back the
+     call to OBCS_PRESCRIBE_EXCHANGES (need to exch gU,gV when using obcs-sponge)
+ o pkg/generic_advdiff:
+   - record overlap minimum size for each advection scheme;
+   - refine criteria on overlap minimum size;
+   - check and stop (in gad_check) if overlap size is too small.
+ o pkg/obcs:
+   - with ptracers: remove multiple calls to obcs_apply_ptracer (only done
+     once, in ptracers_implicit.F)
+   - with seaice: remove test on empty file name in obcs_apply_seaice (always
+     apply OB values when tile has OB)
+ o model/src, coriolis setting:
+   - integer parameter "selectCoriMap" (=0,1,2) replaces 3 logical
+     useConstantF, useBetaPlaneF, useSphereF ; can now read coriolis from
+     files (selectCoriMap=3) with any grid.
+   - add parameter "fPrime" for constant second Coriolis coeff (default=0).
+ o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
+     a few cosmetic changes that reduce the number of lines of code
+ o pkg/obcs: add boundary conditions following Stevens (1990)
+   - the code follows old MOM/NAOSIM code
+   - so far it is only implemented for the eastern and western boundaries
+     and NOT for pTracers
+ o pkg/rbcs:
+   - replace rbcsInIter by rbcsForcingOffset, the time in seconds at the
+     beginning of the first rbcs forcing period.
+   - add option rbcsSingleTimeFiles that makes rbcs read forcing data like the
+     offline package, i.e., one file per time, labeled by iteration number;
+     deltaTrbcs sets the timestep with which the data was generated;
+     rbcsIter0 is the forcing iteration corresponding to rbcsForcingOffset.
+   - rbcsForcingCycle=0 makes forcing non-cyclic.
+   - make arithmetic safe for negative times and odd forcing periods.
+ checkpoint62n (2010/11/09)
+ o pkg/seaice:
+     fix masking in free-drift S/R ; update results of exp. lab_sea.fd
+ o pkg/obcs:
+    New S/R to copy tracer value from the OB location to narrow band region
+     (width = same as overlap) beyond the OB: preserve OB value (needed for
+     high-order scheme) which were overwritten by EXCH call if in overlap
+     region. Applied to theta, salt, ptracer and advected seaice variables.
+    With seaice: use maskInC in similar way as in gad_advection.F,
+     in seaice_advection.F and advect.F.
+    Update output of experiment seaice_obcs and change exp4 to test OBCS with
+th order Adv.Scheme. for pasive salt and ptracer.
+ o tools/genmake2:
+   - when looking for an optfile (not specified), only search for Fortran compiler
+     (remove sym-link test + setting of CPP + makedepend check + C-compiler check)
+   - in get_fortran_c_namemangling: use "$CC $CFLAG" to compile C test programm
+     (instead of "$MAKE genmake_test.o" since an existing Makefile can be wrong)
+   - set default for CPP to "cpp -traditional -P" (was the case without specifying
+     an optfile, but otherwise default was just "cpp".
+   - comment out PLATFORM=$p_PLATFORM (no idea where p_PLATFORM comes from)
+   - when "CC" is not set in the optfile, look for possible C compiler
+     (instead of just setting CC=cc)
+   - put back version v.169 modif (from 2008/02/15), was dropped in v.173 changes:
+     => add a ".F" to ".o" rule for source files with no "#include" (such as
+        port_rand.F); otherwise, default ignores FOPTIM and just uses FFLAGS.
+   - move gfortran before g77 in list of possible Fortran compiler (consistent
+     with reference compiler switch from g77 to gfortran)
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   o remove SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION-code, add a test to
+     seaice_check that stops the model, when the CPP flag is used.
+   o seaice_growth.F: make capping of ice volume conserving by returning the
+     capped ice as freshwater to EmPmR. This does not change the verification
+     experiments but will change runs where the capping is acutally active
+ o change reference platform+compiler from faulks+g77 to baudelaire+gfortran
+   (except the 2 fizhi test exp.); update output of exp.: bottom_ctrl_5x5,
+      global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn, thsice, AD thsice), global_ocean_ebm (AD),
+      lab_sea (fd, hb87, salt_plume), MLAdjust (3/5) and vermix (dd)
+ o tools/genmake2:
+   - merge genmake_warnings & genmake_errors into 1 log file: "genmake.log")
+   - change DUMPSTATE default to false (can use "-ds" option to switch it to T)
+   - clean previous genmake log files before anything else.
+   - change Makefile to remove testreport log files (*.tr_log) and genmake log
+     files only with "CLEAN" target (instead of "Clean");
+ o pkg/generic_advdiff:
+   Change OBCS in multiDim advection (gad_advection.F):
+    Use maskInC to prevent intermediate update of tracer-field in OB regions,
+    thus keeping current-time-step OB values; and remove the call to OBCS_APPLY
+    which were applying future time-step OB values.
+   This way, all explicit calculations use current-time-step OB values
+    (simpler and more consistent).
+   Affects results when set-up uses time-varying OBC and multi-dim advection;
+    update output of experiment seaice_obcs.
+ o pkg/seaice:
+   move OPTIONS (formerly locally defined) to SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
+    this includes SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY (+ SEAICE_DO_OPEN_WATER_GROWTH &
+      SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA ) and SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY.
+   Default (pkg/seaice/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h) is to define SEAICE_SOLVE4TEMP_LEGACY
+    but leave SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY undef ; For now, keep verification exp
+    unchanged (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY defined in */code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
+ o pkg aim (2010/10/26):
+   - Introduce ALLOW_INSOLATION, moving toward a more general incoming solar radiation
+     formulation with obliquity, eccentricity, ... as run-time parameters,
+   - Introduce diagnostics for top-of-the-atmaophere incoming solar radiation and
+     upward shortwave radition at the surface (all-sky and clear-sky).
  o pkg/obcs:
    - writing sections with globalFiles=T does not work: switch to tiled-files
      when writing sections for OBCS (change pkg/rw/write_rec.F accordingly).
-Line 420 
 o tools/build_options:
+Line 2196 
 o tools/build_options:
      but keep the former optfile for few weeks for smooth transition
  o pkg/ecco
    - allow user defined cost function contributions
-         CPP: ALLOW_USERCOST_CONTRIBUTION
+      CPP: ALLOW_USERCOST_CONTRIBUTION
-         USAGE: compute contributions in cost_usercost_all.F
+      USAGE: compute contributions in cost_usercost_all.F
    - note: this is identical to what ALLOW_GENCOST_CONTRIBUTION once was.
        the two options are complementary.
  o pkg/smooth
