5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
8      and mnc_outdir_num are false
9    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
10      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
11    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
12      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
13    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
14    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
15    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
16    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
17      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
18    
19    checkpoint57g_post
20    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
21      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
22      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
23    checkpoint57g_pre
24    
25    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
26      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
27    o added new control variables
28      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
29      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
30    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
31      (suggested by G. Forget)
32    
33    checkpoint57f_post
34    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
35      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
36      account for baseTime shift
37    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
38    checkpoint57f_pre
39    
40    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
41    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
42      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
43    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
44    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
45      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
46      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
47      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
48    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
49      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
50    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
51    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
52      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
53        new version is now more standards-compliant
54    o adjoint-related modifications
55      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
56      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
57      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
58    
59    checkpoint57e_post
60    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
61    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
62    
63    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
64      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
65    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
66    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
67    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
68      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
69      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
70      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
71    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
72      - off by default for backwards compatibility
73      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
74    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
75    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
76    
77    checkpoint57d_post
78    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
79    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
80      output from the diagnostics package
81    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
82    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
83      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
84    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
85    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
86    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
87      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
88    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
89    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
90    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
91      at the end).
92    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
93      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
94    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
95    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
96      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
97      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
98    
99    checkpoint57c_post
100    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
101    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
102    checkpoint57c_pre
103    
104    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
105      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
106    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
107      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
108    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
109    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
110    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
111    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
112      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
113      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
114      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
115        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
116        *all* data points are output
117    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
118    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
119    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
120    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
121    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
122      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
123      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
124      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
125    o pkg/ctrl/
126      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
127        May be enabled via doPackDiag
128      *  introduce z-scaling of
129         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
130         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
131    o pkg/mdsio/
132      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
133      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
134    
135    checkpoint57b_post
136    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
137    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
138      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
139      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
140    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
141    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
142      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
143     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
144    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
145      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
146            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
147    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
148      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
149    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
150      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
151        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
152    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
153    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
154    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
155      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
156      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
157    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
158    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
159      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
160      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
161      - restore use of make (not gmake)
162      - add CC=gcc if using g77
163    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
164      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
165        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
166        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
167        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
168      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
169        changed)
170      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
171    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
172      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
173      preprocessors
174    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
175     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
176     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
177     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
178       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
179       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
180    
181    checkpoint57a_post
182    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
183      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
184      (what a pain)
185    
186    checkpoint57a_pre
187    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
188    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
189    
190    checkpoint57
191    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
192      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
193      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
194      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
195    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
196    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
197    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
198      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
199    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
200      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
201    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
202      and include in natl_box_adjoint
203    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
204      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
205    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
206      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
207    
208    checkpoint56c_post
209    o OBCS as control variables
210      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
211      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
212      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
213      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
214      - add dummy weights for obcs
215    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
216    o optim:
217      - remove unnecessary header files
218      - adjusted namelists
219      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
220    o exf:
221      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
222      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
223    o mdsio:
224      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
225    
226    checkpoint56b_post
227    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
228      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
229      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
230      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
231      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
232    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
233      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
234      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
235    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
236      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
237      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
238      testreport.
239    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
240    
241    checkpoint56a_post
242    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
243      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
244        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
245        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
246        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
247      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
248      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
249      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
250        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
251    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
252    o PTRACERS:
253      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
254        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
255        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
256      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
257        monitorFreq
258      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
259    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
260    o exf_check_range:
261      * default changed to .TRUE.
262      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
263      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
264      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
265      TBD: a version with stricter range
266           permitted range would be runtime parameters
267    o GMredi:
268      - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
269      - change S/R GRAD_SIGMA to be valid in the overlap on CS-grid.
270      - change the default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h: compile everything except Visbeck
271    o GCHEM:
272      - move call to GCHEM_FORCING_SEP, so that it is now called before
273        the blocking exchanges to avoid computing halos in GCHEM_FORCING_SEP
274      - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
275      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
276        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
277      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
278        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
279        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
280        of ptracers_forcing
281      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
282        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
283      - cleaning up
284    o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src
285    
286    checkpoint56
287    o AIM: read land-Fraction earlier (from ini-fixed) and monitor land at nIter0
288    o mnc: cleanup "full" files--fixes out-of-memory problem
289    o ECCO-GODAE
290      * model/, pkg/, code/, input/ now complete w.r.t. ECCO-GODAE production setup
291      * fully merged and updated from SIO code
292        windstress sign change affects
293        - exf_inscal_[u/v]stress
294        - sign of xx_tau[u/v] adjustments
295        - signs in cost_scat
296      * ctrl_get_gen: avoid update of tau[u/v] for first few days
297      * natl_box_adjoint updated and compressed
298      * 2-level checkpoint switch added
299        (tested in EXP. 1 of natl_box_adjoint)
300      * new switch doInitXX to avoid init. of xx_... in optimcycle=0
301    o SVD
302      * first complete, non-hacked version for SVD calculations
303      * all interfaces clean w.r.t to handling of xx_..., adxx_..., g_xx_...
304        performed via direct access files admtlm_vector.it????
305        (via ctrl_[un]pack)
306      * optimcycle is used for ARPACK iteration counter
307        (note: adxx_... is iterated, rather than xx_...; latter is constant!)
308      * EV problem ok w.r.t. L2-norm in tangent space; need to check other norms
309        and add linear transforms where necessary
310      * controls are initial/final SST, SSS (can be extended; need to check
311        ctrl_set_[un]pack_xyz.F according to ctrl_set_[un]pack_xy.F
312    o mdsio: filename info to both stderr, stdout
313    o exf: exf_inscal_runoff: separated default conversion [m/year] -> [m/sec]
314      from sign change
315    
316    checkpoint55j_post
317    o isolate dissipation tendency (allow to keep it out off AB) in V.I form.
318      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
319    o add consistent build directories and .cvsignore files to verification
320    o added viscA4GridMin and viscA4GridMax for more control on biharmonic viscosity
321    o make all subroutines 30 or less characters in length for certain older
322      compilers to work (a thorough search only turns up two routines in
323      pkg/ptracers)
324    o allow (vecinv only) a different horiz. viscosity for Divergence and Vorticity;
325      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
326    
327    checkpoint55i_post
328    o change arrays for total vertical diffusivity (2.D if explicit,
329      3.D if implicit) ; each ptracer uses its own background value.
330    o added mnc/NetCDF output capability to ocn_compon_interf
331      - added bits to verification/cpl_aim+ocn so that it can run on
332        ITRDA and other clusters without the mpirun "-wd" option
333    o fixed wayward endif in mom_fluxform.F that messed up cyclindrical
334      configuration
335    o give MNC the ability to create additional files rather than
336      exceeding a specified file size limit "MNC_MAX_FILESIZE"
337      - the default is just less than 2GB which is a practical limit
338        on many systems
339    o Compute the non-local term using either KPP vertical diffusivity (=default)
340       or the total vertical diffusivity (when KPP_ghatUseTotalDiffus=T)
341    
342    checkpoint55h_post
343    o add verification test "vermix"
344    o remove all the *_ioinc flags and replace with the single global
345      outputTypesInclusive flag
346    o allow to set a vertical profile of vertical diffusivity for T & S
347    o call PACKAGE_BOOT & PACKAGES_READPARMS just after INI_PARMS
348    o useMNC moved from data.mnc to data.pkg
349    
350    checkpoint55g_post
351    o Renaming carbon AD experiments to comply with testreport conventions
352    o Updating adjoint of Held-Suarez hs94.1x64x5
353    o Fixing directives for non-ECCO forward_step, after ECCO directives
354      have been fixed to avoid recomp. of do_oceanic_phys
355      Works well for global_ocean.90x40x15,
356      but recomp. issue remains for carbon
357    o Updating adjoint output for natl_box_adjoint after
358      pkg/ecco has been modified (see taga c55d_post)
359    
360    checkpoint55f_post
361    o rename to timeave_init_fixed
362    
363    checkpoint55e_post
364    o some delicate re-shuffle of store directives to avoid one
365      extra call of do_oceanic_physics
366      affects ecco_the_main_loop.F, do_oceanic_physics.F
367      checkpoint_lev1_directives.h
368    o NB: this may break global_ocean adjoint temporarily,
369      but it is clear how to fix it. Will do later, need this now.
370    
371    checkpoint55d_post
372    o ECCO specific cost function terms (up-to-date with 1x1 runs)
373    o ecco_cost_weights is modified to 1x1 runs
374    o modifs to allow observations to be read in as
375      single file or yearly files
376    o enable to read exf forcing fields as either
377      single file or yearly files (flag useExfYearlyFields)
378    checkpoint55d_pre
379    
380    o switch between 2-level and 3-level checkpointing
381    o add ability of MNC to write local and "partial" (eg. 2D slices where
382      the full 3D field is never actually stored) arrays to NetCDF files
383      with the correct (that is, the complete multi-dimensional) set of
384      array indicies
385      - used in mom_vecinv() to write the diagFreq output
386      - tested (demonstrated) in verification/aim.5l_cs
387    o further mnc-ification
388      - add verification/lab_sea to the list with mnc setups
389      - fix undefined mnc v-names in cd_code
390      - add kpp to mnc output (both snapshot and timeave)
391    o non-hydrostatic code
392      - added horizontal viscosity parameter viscAhW for w, that replaces viscAh
393        in calc_gw.F
394      - defaults to viscAh
395      - this is useful, when I want to use viscAh=0 (e.g., only biharmonic
396        friction or Leith) in non-hydrostatic mode, as long as there is
397        no biharmonic friction and/or Leigth or equivalent for vertical velocity.
398    o pkg/cost
399      extend simple cost functions to treat time mean quantities
400      (T,U,V) via cost_accumulate_state from cost_tile
401    o multidimAdvection on CS-grid: implement the full 3 pass ; overlap needs to
402        be 2 times larger than the minimum size the advection scheme requires.
403        now get a perfect conservation of salt in advect_cs test-exp (updated)
404    o GGL90 (Gaspar's TKE mixed layer)
405      - add horizontal diffusion of TKE, requires exchanges in
406        do_fields_blocking_exchanges, horizontal diffusivity is zero by
407        default. In OPA there is no horizontal diffusion of TKE but the
408        mixing coefficients are computed from a horizontal average of TKE of
409        6 points or so. I think that diffusion has a little more physical
410        justification.
411      - clean up ggl90_calc in the hope of reducing memory usage (this hope
412        was in vain)
413      - mask tke-variable in ggl90_init
414    o fix mask Pb in multidimAdvection on CS-grid (still a small Pb with ipass)
415    o fix biharmonic diffusion on CS-grid.
416    o more obcs stuff
417      - added obcs_external_fields_load as an alternative to the EXF-pkg option
418        for reading boundary values. This routine is called from
419        obcs_prescribe_read
420      - updated obcs_check
421      - changed sponge layer relaxation parameter units for days to seconds
422      - turned off sponge layer by default
423      - changed argument list of OBCS_CALC to myTime+deltaTclock
424      - fixed about 35 bugs in obcs_external_fields_load
425    
426    checkpoint55c_post
427    o obcs stuff
428      - new runtime flags useOBCSprescribe, useOBCSbalance
429      - re-arranged obcs_calc
430      - moved exf_getobcs to obcs_prescibe_read
431        obcs_prescibe_read is called after ORLANSKI stuff
432        and independent of it (executable can contain all).
433      - updated obcs_check
434      - added exchanges for U,V,gU,gV for useOBCSprescribe=.TRUE.
435        These may be necessary only if tangential velocities are
436        prescribed at OB, not sure, needs testing.
437    o make the MNC_CW_ADD_VATTR_* subroutines all take scalar arguments
438      which simplifies the calls and passes the ifc check-bounds test
439    
440    checkpoint55b_post
441    o add a 2D scalar, Z location, exchange_2 routine.
442    o EXCH_UV for CS-grid: add one u,v in the corner-halo region, allows
443      to compute vorticity on a wider stencil [e.g., vort3(0,1)&(1,0)]
444      affects advect_cs results (for the wrong reason): update output.txt
445    o use a more standard discretization for biharmonic viscosity ;
446     (original version still available with #define MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 )
447      affects results of dome set-up: update output.txt
448    o fix gad_advection.F (CubedSphere part), back to version 1.23
449    o fix bug in mom_vi_del2uv.F (CubedSphere part).
450    
451    checkpoint55a_post
452    o merged code to
453      * prescribe/read time-dependent open boundaries
454        (works in conjunction with exf, cal)
455      * sponge layer code for open boundaries
456      * each boundary N/S/E/W now has its own CPP option
457        (healthy for the adjoint)
458    
459    checkpoint55
460    o up-to-date adjoint of previous breaks
461      - natl_box_adjoint: problem for exp 12, 13: cost = 0. needs fix
462      - global_ocean_ebm: adjoint still needs fix (TLM ok)
463      - global_ocean.90x40x15: extended GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
464      - carbon: * remove tr1-related adjoint verification
465                * add ptracer as control variable
466    o remove all tr1-related code (ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER)
467      (adjoint stuff still has some tr1 'names', but all use ptracer arrays)
468    
469    checkpoint54f_post
470    o in verification/carbin/ remove experiment related to
471      ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER (array tr1 etc)
472      code_ad/ input_ad/ results_ad
473    
474    o add two new packages
475      - ggl90, TKE-model of Gaspar et al. (1990), Blanke+Delecluse (1993)
476        + subject to optimization (memory)
477      - opps, OPPS (ocean penetrative plume scheme) of Paluszkiewicz+Romea (1997)
478        + subject to reordering (many GOTOs in the original code)
479        + so far opps is called for every (i,j) point, and then operates in
480          the vertical; one may want to reorder the scheme in order operate in
481          horizontal slabs at the cost of (a lot of) memory, at least ten new 3D
482          fields)
483    o overhaul of IO so that we now have flags for MDSIO and/or MNC
484      - all verification tests compile and run with linux_ia32_g77
485      - defaults are compatible with current input files--nothing
486        should change if you were not previously using MNC
487      - MNC output has been added in numerous places (eg. timeave)
488        but there are still a few writes not yet do-able with MNC
489        (this is in progress)
490      - flags now allow for either/or/both use of MDSIO and MNC and
491        documentation will soon follow
492      - numerous small formatting cleanups for ProTeX
493    o add version info (via BUILD_INFO.h) to MNC and stdout
494    
495    checkpoint54e_post
496    o add two new packages
497      - pp81 (Packanowski and Philander, 1981), Richardson number and
498        stratification dependent mixing
499      - my82 (Mellor and Yamada, 1982) level 2 turbulence closure scheme
500      - these scheme operate in a similar manner as KPP (without ghat, of
501        course), however there is only one diffusivity that is used for both
502        temperature and salinity (and passive tracers)ç
503    o add offline package
504    o add "verification/dic_example" which contains a dic-gchem-ptracer setup
505      provided by Stephanie Dutkiewicz
506    o genmake2: add ability to search for C compilers and cleanup test output
507      - fixes recent SX-6 problems and should help with others (eg. HP-UX)
508    
509    checkpoint54d_post
510    o data.diagnostics: if levels() is unspecified then ALL levels are diagnosed
511    o bug fix in pkg/cal/cal_addtime.F for TheCalendar='model' day count is wrong,
512      leading to additional shift by 5 days each year of integration
513       (i.e. leading to considerable offset over the years)
514    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/thsice: use z* + RealFW + staggerTimeStep
515    o start with no AB and no initial filtering (staggerTimeStep):
516      change the results of test-exp: hs94.128x64x5, hs94.1x64x5 & hs94.cs-32x32x5
517    o move ocean specific S/R calls from forward_step.F to do_oceanic_phys.F
518      (external loading & cpl import/export stay in forward_step.F)
519    o update coupling interface to work with new staggerTimeStep
520    o change MDSIO ptracers_pickup.
521    o fix a bug in Flux deriv. vs Ts (pkg/aim_v23/phy_suflux_sice.F);
522    o genmake2 fixes so netcdf now works on halem ("osf1_alpha_*")
523    o bugs fixed in kpp_calc.F (ustarY) and external_forcing.F (Qsw & Partial-cell)
524    
525    checkpoint54c_post
526    o replace surfaceTendency U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr by surfaceForcing U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr
527      this affects (truncation error) output.txt of test-exp:
528       global_ocean_ebm,_pressure,.cs32x15(&.thsice), lab_sea & natl_box
529    o pkg/kpp: replace pMask by maskC to reduce memory size (one 3.D array)
530    o change Qnet to always be the net heat flux, (+upward).
531      affects (truncation error) output of natl_box exp.: updated
532    o define the max number of passive tracers in PTRACERS_SIZE.h
533    o start to test mnc routinely in exp0
534    o add sea-ice loading (sIceLoad) as a new forcing field.
535    
536    checkpoint54b_post
537    o add testreport "-j JOBS" option for parallel builds (tested and pretty
538       impressive on Altix and Opteron systems)
539    o diagnostics can now write NetCDF files through the mnc package
540    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: update pkg aim_v23 & thsice; update aim.5l_cs output
541    o staggerTimeStep & multi-Dim-Advec: Exch(U,V) added
542    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: rescale T & S surface tendencies.
543      affects (truncation error) output of lab_sea & natl_box exp.: updated
544    o change pickup _cd & _ptracers (old pickup restart: usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
545    
546    checkpoint54a_post
547    o re-write staggerTimeStep: step fwd U,V and then T,S (reverse the order).
548    o change pickup file (to restart from old pickup, set usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
549    o get a perfect restart when using RealFreshWaterFlux + NLFS (not finished)
550    o update output of all exp. that use staggerTimeStep (except hs94.cs & 2D)
551      + internal_wave (shift in writing cg2d_ini_res)
552    checkpoint54a_pre
553    
554    o require forcing_In_AB=.FALSE. and remove surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice
555      - modified verification/lab_sea and natl_box_adjoint accordingly
556    
557    checkpoint54
558    checkpoint53g_post
559    o prepare splitting of thermodynamics: store convect.counter in common block
560    o store d.etaH/dt (instead of Div.hV) in common ; affects (truncation error)
561      output of: global_ocean.cs32x15, global_ocean_pressure & internal_wave
562    o cnh's modifs to gad_advection.F for cube-sphere multi-dim advection
563    o new parameter "nShapS": allow to treat differently S from T (nShapT)
564    o separate Vert.Advec.Scheme from horizontal Advec.Scheme (T & S)
565    o restore adjointability
566    
567    checkpoint53f_post
568    o modifications that affect AIM experiment results (update output.txt):
569      - no advection of S at top interface Nr (pkg/generic_advdiff)
570      - air surf. temp: use lower value between T0 & T1 (phy_suflux_prep.F)
571    o AIM pkg:
572      - include stability function into surf.Flux derivative relative to Tsurf
573      - calculate clear-sky radiation & surface temp. change (for diagnostics)
574    
575    checkpoint53e_post
576    o merged cylindrical coord configuration
577    o added rotating_tank experiment
578    checkpoint53e_pre
579    
580    checkpoint53d_post
581    o faulks upgraded: re-generate output.txt that have changed:
582       global_ocean.cs32x15(.thsice), global_ocean_ebm, lab_sea, natl_box
583    o Added Bryan and Lewis, 1979, vertical diffusivity profile
584    o pkg/land: fix problem in land_impl_temp.F when Ts arround freezing.
585    o added Sadourny discretization of Coriolis
586      - moved some PARAMETERS from mom_*_coriolis.F to PARAMS.h
587      - re-enabled use of omega3 (useAbsVorticity)
588    o added Leith (Phys. Fluids, 1968, 10, 1409-1416) variable viscosity for
589      vector-invariant equations
590      - note: does *NOT* yet use same variable visc. for no-slip BC's.
591    o recoded the lateral boundary conditions for non-hydrostatic w, this time
592      hopefully without new bugs
593      - still to do: biharmonic friction for non-hydrostatic w
594    o bug fix for mom_*_sidedrag: rA -> rAs,rAw
595    o regenerated output for global_ocean_ebm (using -ieee)
596    o fix mom_common/mom_*_sidedrag.F to recover numeric output prior to creation
597      of mom_common/
598      - simple re-arrangement of instructions within computing loop
599    checkpoint53d_pre
600    
601    checkpoint53c_post
602    o new version of coupler for AIM+thSIce and Ocean models
603     - new fields (SSS,h_MixLayer ...) are exchanged through the coupler
604     - land: change Evaporation of snow
605     - aim with thSIce: fix bug in snow-precip.
606    o changes to calc_gw.F
607     - bug fix for w^2 term near the bottom boundary
608     - (hopefully) improve the lateral slip boundary condtions for use with
609        partial/looped cells
610      - because the bug fix changes two verification experiments anyway (exp5
611        and plume on slope), change the lateral boundary condition from half slip
612        to the value of no_slip_sides
613    o ebm package wasnt quite up to the parallel task. Fixed that.
614    o Adjoint of EBM package + verification
615      * TLM OK
616      * ADM not sufficient accuracy yet (needs further testing)
617    
618    checkpoint53b_post
619    o Commiting new energy balance model to repository
620      * package is pkg/ebm
621      * verif. is verification/global_ocean_ebm
622      * references are in ebm_driver.F
623    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
624    C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part I:
625    C        Sensitivity to atmospheric moisture transport.
626    C        J. Climate 12(1), 71-82
627    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
628    C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part II:
629    C        Sensitivity with interactive transport.
630    C        J. Climate 12(1), 83-91
631    C      * M. Nakamura, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1994:
632    C        Destabilization of the thermohaline circulation
633    C        by atmospheric eddy transports.
634    C        J. Climate 7(12), 1870-1882
635    o Will need long integration testing.
636    checkpoint53b_pre
637    
638    o created pkg/mom_common in preparation for variable viscosity code
639    o renamed and split ini_mnc_io
640    o pkg/land: only liquid water can diffuse or run-off
641    o AIM using land: soil wetness availability account for snow
642    o added printMapIncludesZeros to EEPARMS namelist
643    
644    checkpoint53a_post
645    o restore TAMC compatiility for exf_constants.h
646      (no usage of _d in .h)
647    o Additional storing in KPP in an attempt to fix
648      TAMC problem with adjoint of KPP code.
649      (no success...)
650      Identical code works fine with TAF.
651    o Fixed verification/natl_box_adjoint experiments.
652      Initial conditions for Experiments 4 and 5 are now
653      set to "SEAICE_initialHEFF=0", which is more reasonable,
654      and hence gives results closer to that of Experiment 2.
655      Experiment 6 requires "SEAICE_initialHEFF=1" and is working once again.
656    
657    checkpoint53
658    o stable checkpoint with up to date adjoint
659      TLM tests only run for 1st grdchk at the moment. Its unclear if
660      this is a code problem or a problem with resetting code for g_
661      variables that is being autogenerated wrong.
662      Otherwise:
663       o code is testing well on Linux (P4 and AMD), SGI Alitix and Irix.
664       o IBM and HPQ tests could not be run because NCAR (IBM) and NCCS (HPQ)
665         are both still in chaos following their security messes.
666    
667    checkpoint52n_post
668    o various build (mostly genmake2) changes including:
669      - ability to build/run more easily within Cygwin and MacOS X
670      - more complicated Makefiles with a stronger dependence on Gnu Make
671    o pkg/seaice modifications
672      - added SEAICE_deltaTtherm and SEAICE_deltaTdyn in order to reduce cost
673        of pkg/seaice.  For time being, SEAICE_deltaTtherm = deltaTtracer
674        and SEAICE_deltaTdyn must be integer multiple of SEAICE_deltaTtherm
675      - changed proxy for geostrophic velocity and updated
676        verification/lab_sea/results/* accordingly
677      - removed ADI dynamic solver from pkg/seaice
678      - replaced all occurrences of 1/CSTICE or 1/CSUICE
679        they caused a segmentation fault under certain circumstances
680      - removed unused field WATR
681    o bug fix in exf-package:
682      -  u/vwind are defined at tracer/pressure points. The values of u/vwindmask
683         now reflect that.
684    o small fixes in the cal-package:
685      - set reference date to first of January for the 'model'-calendar
686      - failing of cal_CheckDate in cal_FullDate now actually results in a
687        warning
688    o small modifications in exf-package to increase flexibility:
689      - change climtempfreeze from a constant to a runtime parameter that
690        is specified in data.exf_clim (default = -1.9)
691      - introduce runtime parameter windstressmax (default = 2.0) that is
692        specified in data.exf
693    o fix in pkg/thsice:
694      - update Evap (Tsf changes) to be consistent with Latent heat flux
695      - maintain snow precipitation unchanged (even if Tsf >=0).
696     both affect global_ocean.cs32x15/(.thsice) results ; update output.txt.thsice
697    
698    checkpoint52m_post
699    o commented out call to cal_GetMonthsRec in swfrac.F and added some comments;
700      this does not change any of the results, because myIter=0 in swfrac always
701      lead to jwtype=2 (the default anyway), but the call makes little sense
702      as a default
703    o no SHORTWAVE HEATING lost at the bottom; affects lab_sea output; updated
704    o re-work pkg/thsice interface with ocean & bulk_force pkg to allow
705      atmospheric model (AIM) to use it ; add a "slab ocean" component.
706    o pkg/aim_v23 : add interface to call thermodynamic sea-ice (thsice)
707    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/output (.thsice) after changes in pkg/thsice
708    o extending useSingleCpuIO option to work with new exch2 I/O format
709      - old-style, missing-tile I/O is still accessible by defining CPP
710        option MISSING_TILE_IO in pkg/mdsio/MDSIO_OPTIONS.h
711    o monitor package can write to NetCDF files and/or STDOUT
712    o fix re-definition bug in MNC_GRID_INIT_ALL()
713    o doc/api_reference added
714      - a framework for building an API Reference Manual using all
715        the "protex" comments embedded in the code
716      - see pkg/generic_advdiff, pkg/mnc for examples
717    o MNC:
718      - make myThid the last argument for all subroutines
719      - new default for the grid files: NO halos
720      - add useMNC and other run-time flags
721      - separate per-file-group handling of the unlimited dimension
722      - early initialization of MNC w/ flags read at the eeboot stage
723        and lookup tables set in initialize_fixed
724      - write all MNC output to a freshly-created directory
725    o thermodynamics sea-ice (thsice) is now tested with testreport.
726    o test exp. advect_cs: use the standard cs32 grid ; update output.
727    o Added functionality to grdchk:
728      pick global i,j,k position (or nearest wet) where to perform check.
729    
730    checkpoint52l_post
731    o new land formulation:
732      a) use ground enthalpy as prognostic variable to ensure exact
733         energy conservation.
734      b) account for water temperature and for latent heat of freezing
735         in all processes (rain, run-off, ground storage)
736      c) compute surface and ground temperature implicitly.
737    o aim_v23 modification for new land model:
738      a) Treat separately land / ocean / sea-ice surface fluxes
739         to allow implicit computation of land & sea-ice surface temp.
740      b) add snow precipitation.
741    checkpoint52l_pre
742    
743    o fix problem (when 1 tile is empty) in min/max monitor.
744    o fix bug in timeAve (u,vZetatave in common block)
745    o no restoring terms under ice for pkg/seaice
746    o moved SEAICE_DO_DIAGS to S/R do_the_model_io
747    o bug fix for pkg/seaice pickups
748    o change MNC call locations and add coordinate attributes
749    o mask vorticity at the corner ; affects global_ocean.cs output
750    o fix ini_curvilinear_grid ; test CS experiments with mpi
751    o aim.5l_cs: modify sea-ice fraction input file ; update output
752    o exf: Adding simple range check routine for exf fields after read
753    
754    checkpoint52k_post
755    o removed top-level directory "diags"
756      - we migrated these functions to pkg/timeave a long time ago
757    o fixed bug introduced in pkg/monitor
758    o accuracy ctrlprec = 32 insuffient for gradient checks using
759      averaged fields (I/O via cost_averages)
760      -> use ctrl.h in active_file*.F to control I/O precision.
761    o paramter list of CALL ADTHE_MAIN_LOOP
762    o added initial do_the_model_io to ecco
763    o set all ...Freq to zero after cost_final
764      taveFreq, dumpFreq, pChkptFreq
765    o MAIN and ECCO differentiability restored
766    
767    checkpoint52j_post
768    o fix nchklev in tamc.h for global_ocean...
769    o Bringing flow and store directives up-to-date
770    o Really weird thing!
771      call do_the_model_io from the_main_loop with parameters
772      starttime, niter0, instead of mytime, myiter, screws up the adjoint:
773      TAF places a faulty re-call of initialise_varia
774      after cost_final call which should not be there!
775    checkpoint52j_pre
776    
777    o tweaked pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F to have more useful logic and
778      error messages
779    o fix errorMessageUnit problem. remove old version of mdsio from eesup/src

794    o updated the tiling for global_ocean_pressure
795    checkpoint52i_pre
796    
797    o update aim.5l_LatLon using the standard aim_v23 pkg (instead of

806    o added useSingleCPUIO flag to monitor.F and mon_out.F
807    o added temporary hack for sea-ice dynamics on the cube:
808      metric terms are ignored and it is assumed that
809      there is no sea-ice on cube faces 1, 2, 4, and 5.
810    
811    checkpoint52f_post
812    o added exch2 cube routines to pkg/exch2

816    
817    checkpoint52e_post
818    o first attempt to solve vertical advection (momemtum & T,S) Implicitly
819      for now, only implemented with Lax-Wendroff (tracer) and VectInv (mom)
820    o step.1 : rewrite (as in MultiDimAdvec) explicit tracer stepping (gad_calc_rhs.F)
821      to work with implicit vertical advection and AB ;
822    o Implic. vert. advect. implemented with flux-limiter, c2, u3 and c4 scheme.
823    o update output (gad_calc_rhs.F changes affect truncation error) of exp:
824     front_relax, global_ocean .cs32x15 & _pressure, internal_wave, lab_sea, natl_box
825    checkpoint52e_pre
826    
827    o fix bug in impldiff when Nr=1 or Nr=2.
828    o change the albedo in pkg/thsice (as GISS model); update output_thsice.txt
829    o little changes (fftpack, aim/phy_suflux ...) to pass the "checkbounds" test.
830    o fix deltaTfreesurf in update_cg2d.F (left from c45d_post): affects 2

837    o re-tiled many expts to allow comparison in multi-processor mode
838      - updated output accordingly
839      - changed hs94.128x64x5 to use intial T from file rather than use the
840        random number generator
841    o add infrastructure in model routines for fizhi and gridalt packages
842    o change global_ocean.cs32x15 because of Pb with GM on CS-grid.
843    o changes to permit hi-res, cubed-sphere, configuration
844      - added useSingleCpuIO capability to mdsio_readfield.F and exf_interp.F
845      - added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/scatter_2d.F
846      - added pkg/exf/exf_set_uv.F for on-the-fly interpolation and rotation
847        of surface winds for the cube
848      (A verification experiment, based on global_ocean.cs32x15, but with
849       pkg/seaice turned on and with on-the-fly interpolation from the NCEP
850       Gaussian grid is described in MITgcm_contrib/high_res_cube/README_ice,
851       complete with example surface forcing files and matlab scripts to look
852       at the output and compare it with that of global_ocean.cs32x15.)
853    o packages pickup: $PKG_write_pickup called from packages_write_pickup ;
854       but call to $PKG_read_pickup remains in $PKG_ini_vars: change CD_code
855       to conform to the common rule.
856    o check-in the first version of the coupler + interfaces for multi-components
857       set-up (Chris's version, adapted to work on cubed-sphere grid); use MPI.
858       - imply modification in eesupp (MPI_COMM_MODEL < MPI_COMM_WORLD).
859       - atmosphere: use pkg aim_v23 ; no sea-ice for now.
860       - ocean and atmos. share the same horizontal grid (no interpolation).
861       - exchanges between component and coupler is done in forward_step
862    o new verification experiment, cpl_aim+ocn:
863       coupled ocean - AIM atmosphere on cs32 grid.
864    
865    checkpoint52d_pre
866    o surface flux time-av diagnostic modified for NLFS & RealFreshWater
867    o add call to AIM pendant S/R in external_forcing & external_fields_load.F
868    
869    checkpoint52c_post
870    o Fixing OPTIONS files for use of exf:
871      - ALLOW_ECCO not needed
872      - ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h should not be included from
873        EXF_OPTIONS.h/CAL_OPTIONS.h, but from CPP_OPTIONS.h
874        as has been the case in the past
875      - All cal/exf related options are currently set in
876        single header file. Should remain so until we
877        agree on a consistent new policy.
878    o Removed all CPP options for cal package.
879      cal has no more CPP options.
880    o modified STOREs in GAD_ADVECTION
881    o corrected key comp. for passkey
882    
883    checkpoint52b_post
884    o new version: "thsice" of thermodynamic sea-ice pkg:
885     - only 1 call from "forward_step"; conserve energy, fresh-water & salt.
886     - modify fluxes but do not change theta directly;
887     - light cleaning of bulk_force pkg (still needed with thsice).
888     - add forcing fields + data files in global_ocean.cs32x15/inp_thsice
889       + output_thsice.txt to test thsice & bulk_force pkgs.
890    o put back grid & coriolis monitor output.
891    checkpoint52b_pre
892    
893    o call "do_the_model_io" at the beginning (=> dump initial state)
894    o use rhoConstFresh to define convertEmP2rUnit (was done only in ocean-P)
895    o sort out interplay between tamc.h and PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h
896      (need info on NUMBER_OF_PTRACERS)
897    o missing PTRACERS headers in some routines
898    o default tamc.h in pkg/autodiff supposed to crash
899      to ensure proper customization
900    
901    checkpoint52a_post
902    o modifications to make FREEZE (_SURFACE) flux visible to pkg/kpp
903      - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code
904      - subroutine FREEZE_SURFACE now limits only surface temperature
905        and is called in FORWARD_STEP (if allowFreezing=.TRUE.)
906        => new output.txt for global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_with_exf
907      - keep the old version of FREEZE for backward compatibility;
908        global_ocean.90x40x15 left unchanged using useOldFreezing=.TRUE.

917    o some bug fixes for #undef REAL4_IS_SLOW
918    
919    checkpoint52 = ecco_c52_e35
920    o after testing adjoints of checkpoint51u_post
921    
922    checkpoint51u_post
923    o this is the post-merge tag of the ecco-branch
924      (needs another clean checkout and re-testing)
925    o various natl_box_adjoint configs and results
926      but no input fields
927    o obcs adjoint not yet merged!
928    o adding ECCO global 1x1 and 2x2 degree configs
929    o updated/extended some store directives for seaice
930    o pkg/ecco now containes ecco-specific part of cost function

932      supersede those in model/src/
933      previous input data.cost now in data.ecco
934      (new namelist ecco_cost_nml)
935    o in ctrl/ cleaned some cross-dependencies and updated CPP options
936    
937    checkpoint51t_post
938    o this is the pre-merge tag of the ecco-branch
939    
940    checkpoint51s_post
941    o cleanup: removed various obsolete #define-s
942    o pkg/grdchk
943      - renamed 'ph-grd 3' to 'grad-res'
944      - merged from ecco-branch
945        (remaining bug fixes for obcs gradient checks)
946      - additional high-precision output for testreport
947        (grep for 'precision_grdchk_result')
948    
949    checkpoint51r_post
950    o cleaned up or removed CPP_OPTIONS.h files
951    o updated results for some of the tests to reflect the new
952      optfiles (-ieee: -O0 instead of -O3)
953    
954    checkpoint51q_post
955    o cd_code:
956      - moved cd_scheme.F -> cd_code_scheme.F

967      - confined inclusion of AD_CONFIG.h to where necessary.
968    o genmake2: changed AD dependencies from SRCFILES to AD_FILES
969    
970    checkpoint51p_post
971    o create initial cd_code package
972      - WARNING: the initialization of fields within packages
973        is broken because INI_FIELDS (where READ_CHECKPOINT is
974        called) is called *before* PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES.
975        This seems to be backwards since
976        1) its important to initially zero the entire field including
977           the "halo" region
978        2) zeroing needs to be done *before* reading pickup info
979           and the pickup call might or might not happen in any
980           particular run
981      - this needs an overhaul for R2
982    o cleanup verification/*/code/GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
983    o cleanup testreport
984

1018      - subroutine FREEZE now limits only surface temperature
1019        (this means new output.txt for global_ocean.90x40x15,
1020         global_ocean.cs32x15, and global_with_exf)
1021    o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS
