4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o model/src:
8      - store in common bloc array "rhoInSitu" the virtual potential temperature
9        anomaly that is used to compute geopotential: this make the atmos code
10        more similar to ocean code which already uses rhoInSitu in calc_phi_hyd.F
11      - add geothermal flux
12        read in ini_forcing.F as time-constant field geothermalFlux
13        applied in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T (apply_forcing.F)
14    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
15      - rename integer variable ilcall to ipass (that's what it is called
16        in the residual diagnostics
17      - change time stepping for NPSEUDOTIMESTEP > 2 (does not change the
18        default) for improved non-linear convergence of the first few steps
19      - adjust a few comments and add new ones to explain some of the store
20        directives
21    o pkg/generic_advdiff (& ptracers):
22      - re-work the code to check for valid advection scheme and for minimum
23        size of overlap (now stored in local common bloc in gad_advscheme.F)
24    o pkg/seaice: another attempt to make the adjoint work for sea ice dynamics
25      - re-initialize more variables in seaice_lsr: u/vIceC, u/vIceNm1
26      - add an auxilliary variable "bet" and fix store directives and keys in
27        seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, this seems to do the trick (i.e. more or
28        less exact gradients in my tests); but there are still
29        recomputation warning (although gradients are sort of OK), when
30        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE is not defined, so this flag and
31        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA are recommended for efficiency.
32      - update verification experiments lab_sea.
33      - change some comments in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
34    o model/src:
35      - if staggerTimeStep=T, always apply exchange to velocity field in
36        do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F instead of in do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F
37        (independent of using multi-dim advection or not); no effect on FWD run
38        but affects AD results (at machine truncation level): update output of
39        experiment 1D_ocean_ice_column (ad: 12 digits), hs94.1x64x5 (ad,oad: 13.d)
40        and isomip (oad: 12.d).
41    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
42      - stop if doAB_onGtGs is set to FALSE but ignored
43      - refine warning related to stability of tracer time-stepping
44        regarding internal wave dynamics.
45      - setting of AdamsBashforth_T,S when doAB_onGtGs=F: remove condition
46        on staggerTimeStep & implicitIntGravWave (will now get a warning
47        if potentially unstable).
48    o pkg/kl10:
49      - add new pkg "kl10" for mixing due to internal wave breaking, from
50        http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1463500310000144
51        (contribution from Jody Klymak), tested in verification experiment
52        verification/internal_wave/input.kl10/
53    o isomip experiment:
54      - test pkg/shelfice with Non-Lin Free-Surf in one of the FWD set-up
55        (input.htd) and update the output.
56    o cd_code experiments:
57      - use default cd_code options (#undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM &
58        #undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_CORIOLIS) in experiments: cfc_example (fwd)
59        global_ocean.90x40x15 (ad & oad) and OpenAD (ad & oad) and
60        update the corresponding output.
61    o pkg/seaice:
62      - reduce the number of include files and store directives in
63        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
64      - change the order of loops in one case in S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv
65        (only for SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA defined), which allows me to
66        get rid off one store directive (a TAF bug?)
67      - add one more instance of ifdef SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in
68        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv to change the loop range for consistency
69      - remove ilcall, m from parameter list of S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
70      - fix a bug that affects the JFNK solver: replace sNx/y by i/jMax in
71        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v (requires update of
72        offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk)
73    
74    checkpoint65a (2014/07/27)
75    o model/src:
76      - Non-Lin Free-Surf in p/z coords: allows hFacW,S to be larger than
77        surrounding hFacC=1 @ edge of a step with different kSurfC on either side
78        (topo in p-coords, ice-shelf in z-coords); update output of experiments
79        tutorial_global_oce_in_p and isomip (both AD and OpenAD output).
80    o model/src:
81      - collect momentum forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
82        to apply_forcing S/R); this simplifies mom. Forcing diagnostics and CD_CODE
83        parts in timestep.F (without CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM defined = the default);
84        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., if using OBCS_SPONGE).
85      - collect T & S forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument to
86        apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for temp & salt forcing tendency.
87        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., ocean: if using
88        SHORTWAVE_HEATING and atmos:, if using FrictionHeating or (atm_Rq<>0)
89        moist correction due to vertical advection).
90      - update output of experiments: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (13 digits),
91        global_ocean.cs32x15 (fwd: icedyn, seaice, thsice, all 3 @ 11d; adm & tml:
92        seaice_dynmix & thsice, fwd grd @ 3 & 8), hs94.1x64x5 (ad grd @ 13),
93        obcs_ctrl (ad & fwd grd @ 12 & 7).
94    o pkg/ptracers & diagnostics:
95      - use ptracers (short) name (instead of long one) to make ptracers diagnostics
96        title (to avoid some unexpected truncation); sort out ptracers diags units.
97      - collect ptracer forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
98        to apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for ptracers forcing tendency.
99    
100    checkpoint65 (2014/07/18)
101    o pkg/fizhi:
102      - add parenthesis around fizhi tendencies in fizhi_tendency_apply.F: this
103        affects results at machine truncation level. Update output of experiments
104        fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (12 digits for cg2d) & fizhi-cs-aqualev20 (13 digits).
105    o pkg/seaice: more clean up
106      - rename TAF common block tapes to be more consistent and remove
107        unnecessary duplicates
108      - add store directives to remove more recomputations, but use smaller
109        tapes (and adjust keys) when SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undefined.
110        The idea behind this flag is to reduce the memory footprint when the
111        adjoint of the LSR is not required. As of now, defining the flag
112        SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER increases 4 common block tapes for 2D field by
113        a factor of SOLV_MAX_FIXED (=500 by default in SEAICE_SIZE.h).
114        For experiment offline_exf_seaice, this means on a linux box with gfortran
115        nearly a factor of 10 (but keep in mind there is mostly seaice code in
116        this experiment):
117        > size mitgcmuv_ad
118        text    data        bss     dec        hex  
119        5100659 1216  220458952  225560827  d71c8fb
120        5339425 1200 1868783272 1874123897 6fb4dc79 (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
121        but only a moderate increase of 36% for global_ocean.cs32x15:
122        text    data        bss     dec        hex
123        6695027 1648 1014578664 1021275339 3cdf6ccb
124        6695203 1648 1382505320 1389202171 52cd8afb (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
125      - note: there are still recomputations in global_ocean.cs32x15 and
126        offline_exf_seaice and the gradient agreement changes (gets a
127        little worse) for global_ocean.cs32x15 (-> update output_adm.seaice.txt)
128      - in general, the AD gradients still are wrong
129    o OpenAD
130      - clean up code_oad/ directories somewhat by moving files
131        dontCompile, dontTransform, keepOriginal to OAD_support/
132    o model/src:
133      - using MOM fluxform and Non-Lin Free-Surf with momDissip_In_AB=F
134        (not currently tested): add dissipation terms before NLFS rescaling of
135        tendencies (previously done after).
136    o pkg/diagnostics:
137      - write stats-diags in ascii file with more digits (same as in monitor).
138    o pkg/down_slope:
139      - drop the bi,bj dimension of argument recip_hFac in S/R DWNSLP_APPLY; with
140        NLFS (not tested), use new recip_hFac value in order to conserve tracer.
141    o model/src:
142      - new file "apply_forcing.F" containing all the code previously in
143        external_forcing.F, but with new argument list: pass, as new argument,
144        the current level tendency array to update (instead of a direct update
145        of the common bloc array). Change the corresponding calls.
146      - add CPP option USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING (default is undef) to use
147        EXTERNAL_FORCING_U,V,T,S subroutines (for backward compatibility).
148    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr, a little bit of clean up
149      - rearrange some code blocks, so that now all calculations for
150        setting up the right-hand-sides done within one single block
151        (I find that easier to read and understand)
152      - rearrange freedrift-code to reduce the number of ifdefs
153      - adjust some indentations and comments
154    
155    checkpoint64z (2014/07/10)
156    o model/src and several pkgs:
157      - change argument list of all S/R called from external_forcing.F and
158        called from ptracers_forcing.F (renamed to ptracers_apply_forcing.F)
159        to pass, as argument, the current level tendency array to update
160        (instead of a direct update of the common bloc array).
161      - change also (in the same way) argument list of PTRACERS_APPLY_FORCING;
162      - rename taueddy_external_forcing.f to taueddy_tendency_apply.F
163    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
164      - always initialize local arrays in seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
165      - add more local tapes to seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
166      - move storing u/vice(:,:,bi,bj) out of seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, but
167        keep it in bi/bj loop; this seems to be essential
168      - gradients are still wrong but only by 4-7 orders of magnitude
169        instead of 15 orders of magnitude, lab_sea improves a little
170    o pkg/seaice
171      - (pkg/autodiff) remove storing/restoring of seaiceMaskU/V that
172        generates unnecessary code in seaice_lsr_ad
173      - add more store directives in seaice_lsr to avoid unnecessary code
174        in seaice_lsr_ad
175      - exclude some residual computations in seaice_lsr when
176        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC is defined in order to avoid unnecessary code
177        in seaice_lsr_ad
178      - add more storing, a new tape (model/src/the_main_loop.F) and
179        another key for SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA (the local keys ilockey
180        and klockey should be checked by a specialist)
181      - modify ( define SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER )
182        and update lab_sea after previous changes in pkg/seaice below
183    o pkg/autodiff:
184      - introduce useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode, SEAICEapproxLevInAd, and
185        viscFacInAd : run time parameters allowing for adjoint switches
186        note : logic for useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode is in ctrl_readparms.F
187    o pkg/ecco:
188      - introduce cost_gencost_boxmean.F that computes a box mean
189        temperature (for use in adjoint sensitivity studies).
190    o model/src/set_defaults.F : initialize viscFacAdj to 1.
191    o pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_visc.F:
192      - ifdef ALLOW_AUTODIFF then include viscFacAdj factor.
193    o pkg/seaice/seaice_summary.F:
194      - statement for SEAICEadjMODE now in autodiff_readparms.F
195    o pkg/seaice:
196      - remove some store directives and add new ones in an effort to get
197        finally rid off the recomputation warnings. This is successful
198        when SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR ***and*** SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER are
199        defined (i.e. no extensive recomputation warnings left), but there
200        are still too many recomputations on the solver iteration level
201      - define SEAICE_VECTORISZE_LSR in offline_exf_seaice/code_ad/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
202      - move definition of MPSEUDOTIMESTEPS into TAMC-block in
203        SEAICE_SIZE.h
204      - add a store directive in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
205    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
206      - fix definition of Hlimit for multi-threaded case
207      - use double precision arithmetic to compute Hlimit: this affects results;
208        update output of experiment seaice_itd.
209    o replace content of verification/seaice_itd
210      - instead of a 1D column use the configuration of offline_exf_seaice
211        to test the ice thickness distribution code with ridging
212      - this is a first shot at this experiment
213      - change of some defaults of ridging parameters SEAICEhStar (from
214        100 to 25) and SEAICEmuRidging (from 5 to 3) in seaice_readparms.F
215        and lot of new comments.
216    
217    checkpoint64y (2014/06/20)
218    o pkg/seaice/seaice_reg_ridge.F:
219      - modify the regularization of very small volumes of ice; only check
220        total volume HEFF, and do not apply correction to individual ice
221        classes because that leads to funny patterns in the heat and fw-fluxes
222        into the ocean. Adjust seaice_itd/results/output.txt
223      - replace nITD by SEAICE_multDim in loop-ranges
224    o pkg/exf:
225      - add code to process the case field period = -12. with UV interpolation.
226      - move debug print (formerly active when exf_verbose=T) from EXF_getFFieldRec
227        into S/R that calls it (i.e., exf_set_gen.F, exf_set_uv.F & obcs_exf_load.F)
228    o verification/global_with_exf:
229      - switch all fields period to -12. (was previously untested) in input/data.exf
230        (but keep secondary test ".yearly" unchanged); update the reference output.
231    o pkg/cal:
232      - new calendar type "noLeapYear" for 365 days calendar without any leap year.
233    o pkg/exf:
234      - new integer parameter "exf_debugLev" (default set to main model debugLevel)
235        to replace logical switch "exf_verbose"
236      - report in STDOUT when loading a new record (if exf_debugLev >= 3)
237    o pkg/sbo:
238      - update from Katherine Quinn: evaluate mass directly from density and SSH
239        (budget using Finite Volume method) instead of from bottom pressure.
240      - allow testreport to collect few selected SBO output ; tested in exp.
241        global_ocean.90x40x15 (after updating the results, to include SBO output).
242      - fix some multi-threading issues (in output part).
243    o model/src & most packages:
244      - always call {PKG}_READPARMS even if corresponding use{PKG}=F;
245      - in {PKG}_READPARMS, in case use{PKG}=F: add a call to new S/R
246        PACKAGES_UNUSED_MSG to print a weak warning when parameter file
247        "data.{pkg}" exist ; and leave the S/R (return) just after.
248      - more standard LAND pkg interface (land_init_fixed.F, land_check.F).
249        + call LAND_READPARMS from packages_readparms.F
250    o pkg/seaice:
251      - remove code that resets useThSice in S/R seaice_readparms and
252        replace it by a warning in S/R seaice_check
253      - remove parameter MULTDIM, replace with nITD and runtime
254        parameter SEAICE_multDim (still hard-wired to nITD if
255        SEAICE_ITD is defined)
256    
257    checkpoint64x (2014/05/24)
258    o verification/lab_sea:
259      - update adjoint and TLM output following changes to pkg/salt_plume
260      - un-do the update after putting back local recip_Cp in few places.
261    o pkg/salt_plume: modifications by An Nguyen:
262      - add capability to do brine rejection (salt-plume) as function of
263        volume+tracers (instead of only salinity tracer).
264      - conserve volume by exchanging volume from each kLev to above to
265        accommodate in-coming brine volume
266      - store surface and klev exchanged fraction + volume in 4 new 3-d arrays
267      - switch KPP surf buoyancy due to brine forcing to 3-d
268        (3 more 3-d arrays, 2 for SPforcing[T,S], 1 for boplume)
269      - add salt_plume_volfrac, salt_plume_apply, salt_plume_tendency_apply_t
270      - unrelatedly, also add ad-hoc capability to vary salt_plume scheme
271        in East/West Arctic.
272    o pkg/sbo:
273      - incorporate modifications from Katherine Quinn to enable the use of sbo
274        pkg in ECCO-v4 set-up ; remove SBO-TimeAve output ; add monitor-like
275        output for future testreport verification (unfinished).
276    o pkg/atm_phys:
277      - change diagnostics (AtPh_Trf & AtPh_Qrf) of DARGAN_BETTSMILLER S/R:
278        skip the reseting of t_ref & q_ref to initial t & q ; this preserve the
279        output of S/R CAPECALCNEW (Parcel temp & q) for diagnostics.
280    o pkg/seaice
281      seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: modify expression to avoid divisions
282        (affects truncation)
283      seaice_do_ridging.F: clean up the insectarium
284      - fix a bug that was compensated by areaScaling (-> remove areaScaling code)
285      - added SEAICEsnowFracRidge to redistributed snow (2nd bug)
286      - set closing/openingRate to zero where no extra iteration is need (3rd bug)
287      - add some debugging information and error messages (warnings)
288    o model/src: modifications relatd to atmosphere p*:
289      - Switch to more accurate p* coordinate slope term (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F)
290      - With p* or Sigma-P, use constant reference Pot.Temp (thetaConst) instead
291        of vertical profile tRef in geopotential background and anomaly.
292      - Acount for true p* correction in theta <-> T conversion in pkg/aim_v23
293        and pkg/atm_phys.
294      - Update FWD output of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
295        fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, tutorial_held_suarez_cs, cpl_aim+ocn.
296    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in seaice_prepare_ridging.F, forgot a sqrt
297    o pkg/ptracers: compute ptracer source/sink due to linear free surface.
298        not used right now, but can be used in BGC packages to fix conservation.
299    o pkg/dic, pkg/gchem: move tracer_meanarea to gchem, so it can be used by
300        other packages too.
301    o pkg/seaice/seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: replace SEAICE_rhoSnow by
302        SEAICE_rhoIce in the Rothrock (1975)-type strength calculations (bug fix)
303    o model/src:
304      - since we have several heat capacity (even in model/src), define "recip_Cp"
305        as local variable (no longer in common block) to avoid any confusion.
306      - add thetaConst in PARAMS.h (to be used with pStar or sigma-P coords).
307    o pkg/exf:
308      - from Jeff Scott: add option (#define EXF_CALC_ATMRHO) to calculate local
309        air density as function of air Temp, Humidity and atm pressure.
310    
311    checkpoint64w (2014/05/02)
312    o verification:
313      - update output_adm.txt files for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15 (seaice &
314        seaice_dynmix) and lab_sea (primary test & noseaicedyn): moving/changing
315        code from seaice_growth.F & seaice_advdiff.F to new ridging routines
316        seaice_reg_ridge.F seaice_do_ridging.F affects AD gradient
317        (down to 8-7 matching digits for global_ocean and 5-6 for lab_sea).
318    o model/src: for atmosphere in p* coords:
319      - store factor rStarFacC**atm_kappa (= pStarFacK) in common block
320      - implement more accurate p* coordinate slope term (in calc_grad_phi_hyd.F),
321        but not yet activated.
322    o pkg/seaice: fix restart problem for ITD with new ice strength parameterisation:
323      - move computation of opnWtrFrac = 1-AREA to before computing ice strength
324      - this changes the results (but not for any verification experiment, because
325        none tests this), but avoids having an extra field in the restart files
326    o pkg/seaice: remove global variable TICE (not needed)
327      - replace by TICES or local variable where necessary (cost_seaice_test,
328        seaice_diagnostics_state)
329      - move copying TICE to TICES from seaice_check_pickup to seaice_read_pickup
330      - use specific read/write routines for reading and writing individual leves
331        of a multilevel field
332    o pkg/ctrl & model/inc:
333      - move additional anomaly fields of control vars (related to options:
334         ALLOW_KAPGM_CONTROL, ALLOW_KAPREDI_CONTROL and ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL)
335        from DYNVARS.h into new header file: CTRL_FIELDS.h
336    o pkg/seaice: some small modifications to the ridging code
337      - make fw2ObyRidge a global variable and add the freshwater flux to
338        seaice_growth
339      - pass actual thickness from seaice_prepare_ridging, so that it is
340        computed only in one place and compute it in the same way as in
341        seaice_growth
342      - initialise more fields in seaice_do_ridging that where cause floating
343        point exceptions over land
344    o pkg/seaice: preparations for ridging code and first real ridging code
345      - move most of "PART 1" of S/R seaice_growth into a new and separate
346        S/R seaice_reg_ridge that will both regularize the state variable after
347        advection call the actual ridging routine;
348      - requires to make 5 fields global fields: d_HEFFbyNEG,d_HSNWbyNEG,
349        d_AREAbyRLX,d_HEFFbyRLX,saltFluxAdjust;
350      - remove ridging code from seaice_advdiff
351      - clean up remaining part 1 of seaice_growth in an attempt to make it
352        more readable (this is probably subjective)
353      - call seaice_itd_redist once in the initialisation phase to have the initial
354        conditions in the correct category
355      - finally: add new ridging routine for ITD code
356    
357    checkpoint64v (2014/04/11)
358    o pkg/ecco:
359      - add runtime parameters mdt[start,end]date[1,2]
360      - rename variable "tpmean" as "mdt" and "topexmeanfile" as "mdtdatfile"
361    o pkg/seaice:
362      - make deltaC a global variable, so that it can be used in ridging code
363      - first step towards ridging: introduce new routines that compute
364        ice strength based on ridging parameters
365      - add diagnostic for HSNOWITD
366      - add opnWtrFrac as a global variable (required for ridging scheme)
367    o pkg/salt_plume + pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
368      - add SALT_PLUME_IN_LEADS flag to activate pkg/salt_plume only when ice
369        AREA exceeds a threshold (code contributed by I.Fenty in 2011)
370    o verification/hs94.1x64x5:
371      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undefined in code_oad/AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h
372      - do not use ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h anymore for TAF & OpenAD Adjoint tests.
373    o autodiff:
374      - Start to include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h,
375        and CTRL_OPTIONS.h in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h)
376        For now, only in pkgs used in verification/hs94.1x64x5.
377      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for tape/storage
378        which are specific to TAF/TAMC).
379      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD by ALLOW_OPENAD:
380        since ALLOW_OPENAD is defined in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h (any time pkg/openad
381        is compiled), this simplifies/reduces which *_OPTIONS.h file to include.
382      - OpenAD: change Makefile to generate the appropriate AD_CONFIG.h when
383        building mitgcmuv_ad (make adAll).
384    o pkg/ecco:
385      - cost_gencost_seaicev4.F:
386         reformulate proxy cost as function of sst and local param SEAICE_freeze
387         change cost names from siv4-[sst,vol] to siv4-[deconc,exconc]
388      - add stop statement if old names siv4-[sst,vol] are used
389      - add snapshots + cost reports for atmospheric longwave
390      - remove factor 0.1 in front of wtau[u,v]
391      - replace never used flag ALLOW_TMI_COST_CONTRIBUTION with
392         ALLOW_TMI_SST_COST_CONTRIBUTION
393    o pkg/atm_phys:
394      - add some diagnostics for Short-wave and for convection S/R.
395    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth:
396      - fix a bug in the lateral melt parameterization for SEAICE_ITD
397        in seaice_growth; tempFrz needs to be computed inside the i/j-loop
398      - rearrange loop order for better vector code in the same code block
399      - rewrite the floeDiameter formula to have fewer divisions
400      -  (miraculously) none of this changes the results of seaice_itd
401    o pkg/smooth:
402      - move param smooth2Ddiffnbt to pkg/ecco
403    o pkg/salt_plume:
404      - salt_plume_frac.F:
405         clean up local param names
406         reformulate (1-frac) to frac; original 1-frac was based on swfrac code
407    o pkg/rw:
408      - add RS version of S/R READ_MFLDS_LEV.
409    o pkg/streamice:
410      - fix the restart test by writing/reading pickup_streamice files.
411    o pkg/seaice:
412      - refine checks for jfnk-related parameters
413      - comment out if statement with SEAICEuseIMEX parameter as long as there
414        is no IMEX code to avoid confusion and surprises
415    
416    checkpoint64u (2014/03/07)
417    o verification/MLAdjust:
418      - rename secondary test suffix:
419         1.leith  -> A4FlxF  + switch to flux-form & add side-drag
420         0.leithD -> AhFlxF  + switch to flux-form
421         0.smag   -> AhVrDv  (use Vorticity-Div. visc form) + add side-drag
422         0.leith  -> AhStTn  (use Strain-Tension visc form) + add side-drag
423    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
424      - remove unused arguments from S/R MOM_VI_HDISSIP & MOM_HDISSIP (as it used
425        to be before mom_calc_visc.F)
426      - skip the call to MOM_CALC_TENSION & MOM_CALC_STRAIN if not needed.
427      - add 2nd copy of vort3 & strain that knows about lateral BC (free/no slip):
428        this is simpler for the adjoint and for diagnostics.
429    o model/src + pkg/momentum:
430      - add input files for  2-D additional Western and Southern cell-edge wall
431         (e.g., to add "thin-wall" where it is =1).
432      - fix sideDrag option for thin-walls with Non-Lin Free-Surf
433        using 2nd hFacZ that is computed from initial (fix domain) hFac
434      - known limitations of thin wall implementation: not yet coded for sigma
435        coords; not working with CD-scheme neither.
436    o pkg/seaice:
437      - rename recently introduced parameters from (wrong name) AB to
438        BDF (backward difference time discretisation)
439      - retire runtime parameters SEAICEuseAB2, SEAICE_abEps
440    o tools/adjoint_options:
441      - remove setting of "OPENAD=true" (now set by command line "genmake2 -oad")
442    
443    checkpoint64t (2014/02/01)
444    o pkg/ecco
445      - add compile flag ALLOW_GENCOST_TIMEVARY_WEIGHT in ECCO_OPTIONS.h and
446        runtime logical flag gencost_timevaryweight to read daily sea-ice sigma
447      - replace hard-coded record number and period which only work for monthly
448        with read-in runtime param that works for other periods (month,day,year)
449    o pkg/thsice
450      - corrected store directive fixes thsice adjoint gradient checks
451    o genmake2 & testreport:
452      - add genmake2 option "-oad" to generate a Makefile for OpenAD built and
453        in this case, use tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad as default AD optfile.
454        Update testreport accordingly. No need to set "export OPENAD=true"
455        in adjoint_options/adjoint_oad anymore (will be removed later).
456    o pkg/shelfice:
457      - put T & S shelfice forcing into model surfaceForcing_T,_S (for now,
458        only if SHELFICEboundaryLayer=F); Change model/src/external_forcing.F
459        so that surface forcing applies to k=kSurf if using pkg/shelfice.
460    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk, pkg/ecco:
461      - Changes to make GENARR more modular (i.e. invisible if not used)
462    o model/src/temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F
463      - re-include store directives that were removed on Dec 27th.
464    o model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
465      - add storage directives for EmPmR and PmEpR to avoid recomputation of
466        seaice_model in the adjoint that is problematic when seaice_model is
467        turned off in the adjoint. The resolved issue dated back to July when
468        EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF call was moved.
469        Update global_ocean.cs32x15/*/output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt accordingly.
470    o pkg/exf/exf_check.F
471      - fix a small bug again (originally found by Wentao Liu, now found again)
472      - streamline error output
473    o pkg/streamice and aim_v23:
474      - replace a few "_EXCH_XY_RL (" with "_EXCH_XY_RL(", so that
475        Apple's /usr/bin/cpp knows what to do:
476        Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
477        Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
478    
479    checkpoint64s (2014/01/05)
480    o tools/adjoint_options:
481      - switch to fastopt.net TAF server (instead of default fastopt.de) for
482        AD optfiles adjoint_diva & adjoint_f95 (similar to adjoint_default).
483    o model/src:
484      - remove some unnecessary TAF storage directives in forward_step.F and
485        in dynamics.F (note: not always removed by TAF, e.g., double storage
486        of kappaRU,kappaRV in former version of dynamics.F).
487    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
488      - call directly GAD_IMPLICIT_R & IMPLDIFF + DWNSLP_APPLY from temp_integrate.F
489        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (instead of from thermodynamics.F)
490        and remove ptracers_dwnslp_apply.F & ptracers_implicit.F
491      - call MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP for each tracer (in ptracers_integrate.F)
492      - add fZon & fMer as output argument of S/R GAD_CALC_RHS.
493      - update TAF AD-output of experiments global_ocean.90x40x15 (13 for AD-grad).
494    o useSingleCpuInput separates single-CPU input from single-CPU output;
495        for now only implemented for in exf_interp_read.F
496    o verification/advect_xy:
497      - fix missing EXCH call in local version of ini_salt.F and update output.
498    o momentum diagnostics:
499      - fix which deltaT is used in Total-Tendency diagnostics.
500      - fix typo in diagnostics for momentum tendency from AB.
501    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: fix an initialisation bug for the
502        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA option that lead to NaNs on a NEC-SX8
503    
504    checkpoint64r (2013/12/08)
505    o verification/*/results:
506      - Update reference output of experiments that were passing with just 13 digits
507         (make it easier to detect future changes in results)
508    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
509      - move calls to GAD_ADVECTION (Multi-Dim advection) from thermodynamics.F to
510        inside temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F and from ptracers_advection.F
511        to inside ptracers_integrate.F ; remove ptracers_advection.F
512    o coupling interface pkgs:
513        [atm_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf & atm_ocn_coupler]
514      - change the config check to test the agreement of Ocean Depth
515        with ATM land/sea mask (instead of ATM orography);
516      - send to coupler the number of coupler time-steps to do for this run:
517        this allows to check for consistency and don't need anymore to be
518        specified in parameter file "data";
519      in coupler:
520      - check consistency of RunOff map versus Ocean Depth and ATM land/sea mask.
521      - improve report to log-file of config setting (pass log-file unit to few S/R)
522    o pkg/compon_communic:
523      - add coupling send/receive for non-tiled integer vector;
524      - add S/R to check and stop if any proc has an error (similar to
525        eesupp/src/stop_if_error.F but single thread and across Comm_World).
526    o pkg/exch2:
527      - in exch2*_get_rx[1,2]: use new list "W2_tileIndex" to replace search
528        through list of all tiles my proc owns.
529    o model/src:
530      - AUTODIFF only: in calc_adv_flow.F, recompute rTransKp (instead of copying
531        from rTrans) to simplify dependencies (no need to store rTrans anymore in
532        calling S/R); this affects AD results at machine truncation level:
533        update AD-output (TAF) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
534        bottom_ctrl_5x5 & obcs_ctrl (12 digits for AD grad, same FWD grad).
535    o tools/build_options:
536      - simplify Warnings options (-ieee & -devel cases) in linux_amd64_gfortran
537    o coupling interface pkgs:
538        [compon_communic, atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf]
539      - move declaration of local array "ibuf" out of header file "CPLR_SIG.h"
540        to each S/R that needs it; remove un-used variables.
541      - change component tile registration (cpl_register.F in both compon_interf
542        and mitcomponent_tile_register.F) to pass the full list of tiles
543        information (including bi,bj) in 1 vector (instead of in a bi,bj matrix).
544      - with pkg/exch2: adopt the same convention used for I/O to define mapping
545        towards coupler global array (unless W2_useE2ioLayOut=F):
546         a) can now use different tiling between atm & ocn comp.
547         b) no needs to modify the run-Off map when changing tiling (was needed
548            even if using the same tiling between atm & ocn).
549         c) will allow to run with blank-tiles in 1 component (e.g., for ocean
550            full land tiles); not yet tested.
551      - check for valid mapping from comp. tile to coupler global array
552      - improve report of tile registration results to log file.
553    o pkg/exch2:
554      - in eesupp/src/eeboot.F: move call to W2_EEBOOT before Coupler
555        tile-registration (CPL_REGISTER);
556      - activate (un-comment) definition and setting of "W2_tileIndex" list to
557        store the local bi,bj indices of each tile;
558      - also print bi,bj in local report to log file;
559      - fix pkg/debug/debug_cs_corner_uv.F for the case nSy > 1 (left from
560        Jun 2009 modif of pkg/exch2).
561    o testing on baudelaire:
562      - run 2 tests at a time: no significant slow down (since enough cpu) and
563        get the full set of test done earlier
564      - switch the ifort test to "-devel" ; run the OpenAD test everyday.
565    o model/src/thermodynamics.F and routines called from it:
566      - pkg/gmredi: gmredi_residual_flow.F (replacing gmredi_calc_uvflow.F &
567        gmredi_calc_wflow.F) to update eulerian velocity (input) into residual
568        velocity (outp) by adding bolus velocity.
569      - model/src: calc_adv_flow.F (replacing calc_common_factors.F) to compute
570        mass transport from velocity + lateral grid cell area
571      - rename calc_gt.F to temp_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
572      - rename calc_gs.F to salt_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
573     in thermodynamics.F
574      - remove k from thermodynamics.F and move it to temp_integrate.F
575        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (now done inside the tracer
576        loop).
577      - compute locally (in thermodynamics.F) 3-D velocity field that is used to
578        advect tracers; pass it as argument to GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
579        PTRACERS_ADVECTION, TEMP_INTEGRATE, SALT_INTEGRATE, PTRACERS_INTEGRATE,
580        GAD_IMPLICIT_R and PTRACERS_IMPLICIT
581      - update AD-output (TAF & OAD) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
582        global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and
583        tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ TLM output).
584    o tools/OAD_support and (verification/*/) code_oad:
585      - OAD_support/cb2mGetModules.csh: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in header file to
586        module conversion ; remove unneeded CPP_EEOPTIONS.h.
587      - code_oad/CPP_OPTIONS.h: remove PACKAGES_CONFIG.h and use a more standard
588        version (closer to model/inc/CPP_OPTIONS.h).
589    o model/src:
590      - remove parameter "useOldFreezing" from PARAMS.h and push it to the
591        retired list of parameters (routine FREEZE has been replace by surface
592        freezing (10.yrs ago) and by pkg/frazil (interior freezing).
593    o pkg/gmredi:
594      - add option (GM_CALC_TRANSP_FROM_VEL) to compute transport directly from
595        velocity (same scheme but affects machine truncation) for GM_AdvForm.
596      - update output of FWD experiments: front_relax.bvp,
597        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp, global_ocean.cs32x15 and ideal_2D_oce.
598    
599    checkpoint64q (2013/11/17)
600    o verification:
601      - generate new output on baudelaire (gfortran, -ieee) for OpenAD experiments
602        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and global_ocean.90x40x15.
603      - generate new output (growth & melt) for seaice_itd experiment after
604        updating the input pickup_seaice files (previously wrong).
605    o pkg/cost:
606      - define a "final cost function" for each tile, and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
607        (instead of _GLOBAL_SUM_RL) to get the final cost from all procs & threads:
608        o this fixes global-sum value if multi-threads (since GLOBAL_SUM_RL
609          cannot be applied to var in common block).
610        o allows to get results independent of tile-per-proc setting (if using
611          slower GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV option).
612      - update accordingly: seaice_cost_final.F, shelfice_cost_final.F,
613        thsice_cost_final.F and ecco_cost_final.F (this one affects lab_sea
614        forward gradients: update output).
615      - update */code_oad/externalDummies.F by adding dummy GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
616        S/R and, for most exp., also comment out GLOBAL_SUM_R8.
617    o pkg/mom_common:
618      - move to pkg/mom_common and model/src (previously in tutorial_deep_convection
619        code) 2nd version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code interface: strain and
620        viscosity are locally declared in dynmics.F and pass as argument to CALC_GW;
621        ensure that all field value that are used are set.
622    o tutorial_deep_convection (smag3d):
623      - add missing scaling in mom_calc_smag_3d.F;
624      - set smag3D_coeff in input.smag3d such that results do not change.
625    o pkg/dic:
626      - change dic_cost.F to compute cost on each tile first and then apply
627        GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL: this affects forward gradient of AD experiments
628        tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo; update output.
629      - remove kLev argument and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL in tracer_meanarea.
630    o eesupp/src & pkg/mdsio:
631      - remove gather/scatter_vector.F (from eesupp) and mdsio_read/writevector.F
632        (from pkg/mdsio) since they are no longer used for tape IO.
633      - move simple C subroutine "setdir.c" from pkg/compon_communic to eesupp/src
634        (+ keep a copy in pkg/atm_ocn_coupler).
635    o verification/isomip:
636      - split domain in 8 squared tiles (instead of just 2) for FWD, AD & OAD tests.
637    o tools/build_options:
638      - optfile linux_amd64_ifort11, fast (no ieee) case:
639        to get a working restart for all experiments, add "-fp-model source"
640        to FOPTIM (also remove "-opt-streaming-stores auto" <- this is the default).
641    
642    checkpoint64p (2013/10/20)
643    o pkg/autodiff:
644      - adread_adwrite.F: when type and length do not match ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
645        criteria, return to simple (default) tape IO format.
646    o pkg/mdsio (+ eesupp/src):
647      - rewrite/simplify tape-IO S/R (new S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_TAPE replace
648        previous MDSREAD/WRITEVECTOR) with 2 array argument from each type (R4/R8);
649      - fix globalFile and singleCpuIO options using simpler global mapping.
650      - new pairs of scatter/gather vector S/R (one for each type, generated from
651        template) corresponding to simpler global mapping.
652      - adread_write.F: switch to new S/R (but leave old calls commented) and write
653        to globalFile when parameter globalFiles is set to True.
654      - switch on useSingleCpuIO in AD experiments: global_ocean.90x40x15 & isomip.
655    o pkg/autodiff:
656      - adread_adwrite.F: add a hack for RS arrays (when RS=real*4);
657        with ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO defined, since corresponding (real*4) is
658        missing, just add a STOP if array type do not match.
659    o pkg/exf:
660      - to allow to use seaice-fraction from pkg/exf in other pkgs than pkg/seaice:
661         rename CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX to EXF_SEAICE_FRACTION
662         and rename array obsSIce to exf_iceFraction.
663    o tutorial_deep_convection:
664      - add 1rst version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code (from Louis-Philippe),
665        for now all in this exp. code dir.
666      - add secondary test using Smag-3D viscosity (keep very low backgroud visc for
667        testing) and flux-limter advection scheme for Temp. (no explicit diffusion).
668    o eesupp/src:
669      - added SINGLE_DISK_IO option because reading of parameter files on
670        very large number of processors did not work with existing set-up
671    
672    checkpoint64o (2013/09/25)
673    o pkg/atm_phys & atm_compon_interf:
674      - allows for coupling of gray-atmosphere (atm_phys) with ocean.
675    o tools/build_options:
676      - switch from "-fPIC" to "-mcmodel=medium" in optfiles: linux_amd64_gfortran
677        & linux_amd64_ifort11 and in linux_amd64_g77 & linux_amd64_open64 also
678        remove CPP setting (was identical to genmake2 default).
679    o pkg/gmredi & model/src: Some updating and work done on the residual model.
680      - created new file model/src/calc_eddy_stress.F to calculate the eddy stress.
681      - fixed up the calculation of the eddy stress and how it is added to the
682        external forcing via taueddy_external_forcing.F
683      - at the moment, it is very experimental and only works with the variable eddy
684        diffusivity calculated in gmredi_k3d.F
685    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: add a check to catch the case of specifying
686        lw/swfluxfile instead of lw/swdownfile in data.exf together with pkg/seaice
687    o testreport (& tools/do_tst_2+2):
688      - for MPI test, set default COMMAND to 'mpirun -v -np TR_NPROC ./{executable}'
689    o tools/build_options: linux_amd64_gfortran & linux_amd64_ifort11:
690      - remove CPP='cpp -traditional -P' (this is genmake2 default)
691      - add switch (for big setups) to use 'medium' memory-model (but leave it
692        commented out for now). Note: needed with FC 19 to compile big setups.
693    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
694      - regroup per field origin (model & pkgs) the coupling storage routines
695         (which accumalate in time each coupling field)
696      - move bi,bj loops inside atm_store_my_data.F and store also wind-stress;
697        update accordingly + simplify aim_do_physics.F
698    
699    checkpoint64n (2013/08/26)
700    o pkg/bbl:
701      - update formulation to reduce dispersion of tracer properties in bbl
702      - replaced horizontal and vertical transport parameters with velocities
703      - changes results for verification/global_with_exf.yearly
704    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
705      - change to matrix construction; update both Fwd & AD output.
706    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
707      - OpenAD test: switch to vector-invariant momentum since fluxform with
708        rStar causes problems with OpenAD; update output.
709    o tools:
710      - genmake2: define a common prefix for all temp-file names ; move them
711        to local /tmp disk (but would be easy to move them back);
712      - xmakedepend: apply the same switch for temp-files.
713    o pkg/offline:
714      - changes for use with rStar (NLFS): assume that we continue to provide
715        UVELMASS/hFacW_ini & VVELMASS/hFacS_ini (hFacWi,S_ini as written in grid
716        output files) and apply r* scaling at each time-step (function of the time
717        varying Eta field); use normal pickup files (needed for restart with NLFS).
718    o adjoint with OpenAD:
719      - move OpenAD-specific files from verification/OpenAD/code_oad_all to a new
720        package openad.  This package has to be compiled for all runs with OpenAD
721        instead of specifying code_oad_all as a modification directory.
722      - link the fortran templates from tools/OAD_support to the build directory
723        for preprocessing to avoid conflicts between different setups compiled
724        simultaneously and simplify cleanup.
725    o pkg/exf:
726      - in exf_getforcing.F: comment out most of the EXCH calls (fields used by
727        main model or other pkgs are exchanged in EXF_MAPFIELDS).
728    o model/src:
729      - do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F: skip EXCH calls when using pkg/offline
730        (similar to do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F).
731    o tools/genmake2:
732      - remove TAF output src code just before calling staf (when not doing a fresh
733        built, will stop if things go wrong with staf).
734      - fix target "adobj" (left from TAF version-2 transition)
735    o pkg/diagnostics:
736      - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;
737        this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check
738        when adding diag to the list) to also check any DIAGNOSTICS_[]FILL* call.
739        New S/R to print error message and stop when pkgStatus is not right.
740      - to try: add a warning when "data.diagnostics" exist but useDiagnostics=F.
741    
742    checkpoint64m (2013/08/13)
743    o model/inc:
744      - move FCORI_MACROS.h from PARAMS(_MACROS).h to GRID_MACROS.h (left from
745        8 yrs ago modif when Coriolis arrays were moved from PARAMS.h to GRID.h)
746    o pkg/kpp & aim_v23:
747      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
748    o pkg/seaice:
749      - restore (last time on 2011/12/24) ability to compile pkg/seaice with
750        undefined pkg/exf ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_RUNOFF CPP-options.
751      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
752    o eesupp/src:
753      - fix check for overlap-size argument (myOLn.GT.MAX_OLY_EXCH)
754        in exch1_rx[_ad].template (thanks to Francois Lefeuvre report).
755    o switch to TAF version-2:
756      - add flow directives to "freeze" naming convention for ad-routines that
757        are used in I/O routines of adjoint state and associated common blocks
758        that are used in adcommon.h (backward compatible with version-1)
759      - update all ad-optfiles (in tools/adjoint_options + few local to some
760        verification exp) to switch to latest TAF version (currently 2.5.5);
761        merge "*_mpi" adoptfiles into the corresponding non-mpi (but commented
762        out except for diva).
763      - the major change with TAF version-2 is that both the differentiated
764        routines and the forward routines (new) are returned as part of the TAF
765        output source code. Update genmake2 accordingly.
766      - new output for AD experiment tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (better AD gradient
767        with version-2 when compared to TLM or FWD gradient); other experiments
768        output show minor changes (machine truncation level); update the few AD &
769        TLM output with 12 matching digits only (some prior to version-2 switch).
770    
771    checkpoint64l (2013/08/05)
772    o model/src:
773      - in dynamics.F, skip the call to CALC_VISCOSITY if momViscosity=F
774      - main_do_loop.F: no longer includes additional (AUTODIFF) header files
775        when using TAF but only if using OpenAD.
776    o pkg/mom_common+fluxform+vecinv:
777      - always set horiz. viscosity arrays to background value before calling
778        MOM_CALC_VISC (in MOM_FLUXFORM & MOM_VECINV) and call S/R MOM_CALC_VISC
779        only when using variable horiz. viscosity (useVariableVisc=T);
780      - simplify mom_vecinv.F (only 1 block for momViscosity).
781    o pkg/mom_common: variable horiz. viscosity in NH code
782      - move horiz-viscosity 3-D arrays viscAh_W & viscA4_W (used in calc_gw.F)
783        from model/inc/NH_VARS.h to pkg/mom_common/MOM_VISC.h
784      - store in common block (in MOM_VISC.h) logical parameters: useHarmonicVisc,
785        useBiharmonicVisc & useVariableVisc.
786      - fix old bug (already in 1rst implementation of variable horizontal viscosity
787        in calc_gw.F, version 1.27, 2006/06/20):
788        horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity in gW was missing when wiscA4W=0
789        even if variable bi-harmonic viscosity (e.g., viscA4Grid) was non-zero.
790      - change background horiz viscosity in vertical momentum (gW) to always be
791        viscAhW,viscA4W (instead of switching to viscAhD, viscA4D when using
792        any type of variable viscosity, e.g., viscAh/4Grid)
793      - change default value of viscAhW,viscA4W to viscAhD,viscA4D (instead of
794        viscAh,viscA4) which default to viscAh,viscA4 :  this avoid missing
795        horiz. viscosity in W eq when just setting viscAhD/Z,viscA4D/Z (since
796        default viscAh,viscA4 is zero).
797    o model/src:
798      - extend length of drC & recip_drC from Nr to Nr+1.
799    o Divided Adjoint (DIVA) with MPI:
800      - genmake2: do not create local ./mpi_headers dir when no file to copy into.
801      - remove option ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT_MPI (replaced by ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT
802        and ALLOW_USE_MPI) from model/src code and from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h.
803    
804    checkpoint64k (2013/07/23)
805    o tools/OAD_support:
806      - avoid the need for file "oadtempflile" in insertTemplateDir.bash
807        and remove it from genmake2.
808    o tools/build_options:
809      - remove MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC setting (no longer used) and comment out
810        MPI_HEADER_FILES list (let genmake2 find the missing headers)
811    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
812      - change to driving stress formulation; update both Fwd & AD output.
813    o tools/genmake2 and Divided Adjoint with MPI:
814      - remove default setting of MPIINCLUDEDIR from $MPIHOME (always been broken);
815      - only create local ./mpi_headers dir if using MPI and MPIINCLUDEDIR is set;
816      - add new variable (LOCAL_MPI_HEADERS, replace MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC) in
817        Makefile, which is set by genmake2, and check which mpi-headers are needed.
818        Note: need to update adjoint_options/adjoint_diva_mpi accordingly.
819      - update target "CLEAN" (to also remove ./mpi_headers/ dir).
820    o testreport:
821      - changes for Divided Adjoint Run: when file "run_ADM_DIVA" is present,
822        perform additional runs (number of additional runs is "add_DIVA_runs" taken
823        from file run_ADM_DIVA ; should match "nchklev_3" in file "code_ad/tamc.h").
824    o verification/lab_sea (AD test):
825      - change to test Divided Adjoint Run in this set-up (both standard AD test
826        and 2 secondary AD test: noseaice + noseaicedyn); drop the evp AD test.
827    o pkg atm_ & ocn_compon_interf:
828      - remove cpl_earlyExpImpCall=F option (was mainly a hack added for the old
829        staggerTimeStep implementation) and disable (retired) corresponding
830        parameter.
831    o pkg/offline:
832      - comment out unused field-array: ICEM, ConvectCount, hflx[01], icem[01];
833      - add S/R OFFLINE_CHECK to print offline parameter summary
834        and stop if loading a file that is not used;
835      - enable to calculate GMRedi tensor, KPP mixing and convective index
836        when the corresponding file(s) is/are not specified (but pkg is used).
837      - comment out resetting of monitorFreq (to endTime) since it still useful
838        for monitoring CFL numbers and checking offline fields.
839    o OpenAD:
840      - do not define OAD_DEBUG (in tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad) to get
841        smaller standard output) and generate new (smaller) output (on baudelaire
842        using gfortran with -ieee) for exp. tutorial_tracer_adjsens
843    o model/src:
844      - call EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF outside bi,bj loops (in do_oceanic_phys.F),
845        (where external_forcing_adjust was called) and change list of arguments;
846      - merge external_forcing_adjust.F into external_forcing_surf.F
847      - put surface relaxation of SST & SSS in new S/R (forcing_surf_relax.F)
848        which also contains balancing surface relaxation (ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX,
849        previously in file "balance_relax.F", now removed); remove corresponding
850        arrays in FFIELDS.h.
851      - EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF is now called when using pkg/offline; implement
852        a hack for getting back surfaceForcingS (loaded from file) when using
853        ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (pkg/dic, in DIC_OPTIONS.h) in offline set-up.
854      - update output of AD test experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix
855        (was getting only 11 digits for AD-grad, due to different truncation
856         error in AD code).
857    
858    checkpoint64j (2013/07/04)
859    o pkg/offline:
860      - to enable the use of other features with pkg offline (e.g., obcs),
861        also call S/R DO_OCEANIC_PHYS in offline run - more modifs to come.
862      - comment out "allowFreezing" (now active) in 2 offline testing exp.
863    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
864      - fix sign and make compatible with temp_EvPrRn .NE. UNSET_RL
865      - ahdded RUNOFTEMP test to verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
866      - changes verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/results/output.seaice.txt
867    o pkg/atm_phys:
868      - allows to add some damping on uVel,vVel (strength only function of k).
869    o verification, ad-tests:
870      - reduce length of the simulation for AD test: global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice,
871        global_ocean_ebm and offline_exf_seaice.thsice.
872    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
873      - found a bug in s/r pkg/streamice/streamice_advect_thickness which caused
874        flux input boundary conditions to be ignored; a fix for this bug changed
875        verification results for forward test.
876      - add adjoint test.
877    o pkg/ptracers:
878      - allow to restart without SOM pickup (resetting SOM to zero).
879    o pkg/gmredi:
880      - New parameterisation for the calculation of K and (GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY) added.
881      - It uses mixing length theory and suppression by steering level effects to
882        calculate a diffusivity used in the Redi tensor (see Bates et al., submitted
883        to JPO, for more details).
884      - It also uses the diffusivity to calculate an eddy induced streamfunction
885        based on a PV closure (rather than a buoyancy closure as in GM).
886      - New files added to pkg/gmredi:
887        gmredi_k3d.F calculates the diffusivity for the Redi tensor and the eddy
888          induced overturning streamfunction (called from gmredi_calc_tensor)
889        gmredi_calc_eigs.F calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors required
890          for use in gmredi_k3d
891        gmredi_calc_urms.F calculates the the rms eddy velocity used to calculate
892          the eddy diffusivity
893    
894    checkpoint64i (2013/06/18)
895    o pkg/cheapaml:
896      - take src files from MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/offline_cheapaml/code
897        that enable the use of seaice (pkg/thsice thermo & pkg/seaice dynamics)
898        with pkg/cheapaml.
899    o utils/python: add subpackage for cubed sphere function, first example is
900        simple cs.pcol to plot 2D fields on a map
901    o pkg/streamice:
902      - This is a new package in MITgcm, which solves dynamic equations for ice
903         sheets and ice streams
904      - At the moment it is independent of atmosphere/ocean dynamics, or any
905        other physical packages in MITgcm, even ShelfIce (although it is anticipat-
906        ed that this will change)
907      - There is a new verification exercise that tests it, halfpipe_streamice,
908        evolves a 40x80 km ice stream/ice shelf (at coarse resolution) in a
909        rectangular embayment
910      - halfpipe_streamice is forward-only for now, will have TAF test soon
911      - for questions, email dgoldber@mit.edu
912    o pkg/thsice:
913      - fix filling of snow-precip diagnostic (SIsnwPrc) (left from the removing
914        of snowPrc from common bloc, on May 2nd, thsice_step_fwd.F revision 1.40);
915      - remove diagnostics 'SI_FrcFx' ( now identical to 'SI_Fract' with new
916         call sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect );
917      - allow precip from pkg/cheapaml to make snow over seaice.
918    o pkg/cfc:
919      - move in separated header file (CFC_ATMOS.h) time-serie arrays of Atmos CFC
920      - remove atmos CFC 2-D arrays from common bloc (now local variables)
921      - change some hard-coded constant to run time parameter for reading and
922        and interpolating atmospheric CFC ; keep same default as previously.
923      - more flexible reading of Atmos CFC (number of records no longer hard-coded)
924      - put arguments in standard order: myTime, myIter, myThid
925      - use standard S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL for time interpolation of
926        atmospheric CFC ; fix for the case myIter < PTRACERS_iter0.
927      - fix calculation of surf tendencys for partial-cell and/or Non-Lin Free-Surf
928      - new routine to print summary of CFC params and check for consistency.
929    o pkg/seaice: add uice/vice to the parameter list of s/r seaice_advdiff,
930      similar to thsice_advdiff.
931      Note that for the B-grid case the routine parameters uc/vc are overwritten.
932    o pkg/cfc:
933      - change time interpolation for atmospheric CFC-11 (now same as for CFC-12);
934        update output (CFC-11) of experiment cfc_example and tutorial_cfc_offline.
935      - fix interpolation of atmphspheric CFC between Sorthern and Northern
936        hemisphere value.
937    o pkg/seaice:
938      - allow to use seaice dynamics without pkg/exf (e.g., using pkg/cheapaml)
939    o pkg/seaice: add Adams-Bashforth2 time discretization for ice dynamics;
940                  so far only for JFNK-solver, turn on with SEAICEuseAB2 = .TRUE.
941      - requires an additional time level that is stored in the pickup
942      - you can start with AB2 from a pickup without this time level with
943        pickupStrictlyMatch = .false.
944    
945    checkpoint64h (2013/05/26)
946    o pkg/cheapaml:
947      - replace one ()**.5 with SQRT + use temp var "cdu = tau/Du" (coare3_flux);
948        affect machine truncation (but exp cheapAML_box still pass with 13 digits).
949      - consistent treatment of uWind,vWind location: assume everywhere in
950        pkg/cheapaml that they are on C-grid (@ uVel,vVel location)
951        (Note: was already the case for Tair,Qair advection);
952        add option (INCONSISTENT_WIND_LOCATION) to recover old results.
953      - compute diabatic forcing only in the interior (excluding overlap regions)
954      - fill in array "Qsw" (for short-wave heating);
955      - add diagnostic for precip ; fill-in diagnostics for cheapAML state vars
956        before any update (consistent with MITgcm state var diagnostics);
957      - cheapaml_fields_load.F & cheapaml_init_varia.F : only fill outer edges if
958        non periodic ; + adjusted for uWind,vWind (C-grid).
959    o pkg/seaice:
960      - remove dependence of pkg/seaice versus pkg/exf (file: pkg/pkg_depend) and
961        add explicitly pkg/exf in experiments that currently use pkg/seaice.
962      - allows to compile pkg/seaice without pkg/exf.
963    o tools/OAD_support:
964      - use a local copy (ourRWCPinBd) to ensure index ourRWCP stays within bounds
965        of array "ourStepOf" in function rvNextAction (revolve.F90).
966    o pkg/aim_compon_interf renamed to pkg/atm_compon_interf
967      - change pkg name (to be used with other atmospheric physics pkg)
968        but by-pass CVS when making the new pkg so that we keep the CVS history.
969    o pkg/offline:
970      - call OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD from pkg/offline/offline_init_varia.F
971        (previously called from pkg/dic_surfforcing_init.F)
972    o model/src:
973      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_init_variables.F, using
974        standard order, except for:
975         DIAGNOSTICS_INIT_VARIA and OFFLINE_INIT_VARIA (called @ the top),
976         CTRL_MAP_INI and OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES (called @ the bottom)
977    o new pkg: atm_phys
978      - add entry point and source code (previously in contrib
979          verification_other/atm_gray/code_gray/) for new pkg "atm_phys"
980        (atmospheric physics pkg from P. O'Gorman and T. Schneider, JCl, 2008).
981      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_readparms.F,
982         packages_init_fixed.F and packages_write_pickup.F
983        (but skip packages_init_variables.F because of TAF issues).
984      - update contrib/*/atm_gray/ experiment.
985    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
986      - simplify and fix the writing of pickup-files for ITD case
987    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
988      - introduce floe size dependent lateral melt for ITD case;
989      - cleaning (avoid division by zero, change to f77 syntax, remove tabs)
990      - update seaice_itd experiment main output.
991    o pkg/thsice:
992      - remove snowPrc from common block THSICE_FLUX, in THSICE_VARS.h and
993        declared it locally (without bi,bj) in thsice_main.F & aim_do_physics.F;
994        changed accordingly pkg/atm2d.
995    
996    checkpoint64g (2013/05/01)
997    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
998      - if defined,  river and glacier runoff temperature can be read-in from
999        runoftempfile; runoftempfile needs to have same format as runofffile
1000    o pkg/thsice (& pkg/bulk_force):
1001      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
1002        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap (like with pkg/exf).
1003      - change computation domain to always be the interior (without overlap).
1004      - fix bug (wrong overlap) when using EXF and stressReduction > 0.
1005    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1006      - add preliminary OpenAD setup (still has problems)
1007    o pkg/seaice:
1008      - turn some parameters for choosing the convergence criterion of
1009        the inexact Newton method (JFNK) into runtime parameters for convenience
1010      - clean up seaice_calc_viscosities.F: remove/retire two options for
1011        SEAICetaZmethod (1,2), introduce area weighting for method 3; this changes
1012        the results of lab_sea/input because a division has been replaced by
1013        a multiplication with the reciprocal (sumNorm)
1014      - modify offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk/data.seaice to improve
1015        convergence of solver (changes results, of course), and to test some
1016        new features
1017    o model/src:
1018      - remove unused (since Aug 2006) S/R SET_WRITE_GLOBAL_PICKUP and its call.
1019      - remove unused forcing field "dQdT" and associated parameter "dQdTFile".
1020      - move forcing adjustment (balancing surface forcing) in specific S/R
1021        where might also be applied exchanges (if needed) to forcing arrays.
1022    o pkg/shelfice:
1023      - allow to specify the Ice-Shelf mass per unit area (instead of
1024        shelficeLoadAnomaly) and do the conversion from one to the other
1025      - move loading from file of shelficeLoadAnomaly from SHELFICE_INIT_VARIA
1026        to SHELFICE_INIT_FIXED: (a) avoid some TAF recompution issues and
1027        (b) will be loaded in time (before calling INI_PRESSURE) in case it is
1028        needed in phi0surf for initial pressure calculation when useDynP_inEos_Zc
1029      - update isomip experiment forward output (get machine truncation error
1030        from conversion shelficeLoadAnomaly -> shelficeMass -> shelficeLoadAnomaly)
1031    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1032      revise data.seaice in input.thermo and input_ad and update results accordingly
1033        HO = 0.2, SEAICE_areaLossFormula = 2,
1034        SEAICE_growMeltByConv = .TRUE.,
1035        SEAICE_doOpenWaterMelt = .TRUE.,
1036      Improve consistency with input.thsice and fix the spurious 500m ice corners
1037    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
1038      - set Energy Reference Level to liq. water @ 0 degC: temp_EvPrRn=0.,
1039        in icedyn (thsice+seaice-dyn) test and update output.
1040    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1041      - adjust list of tested variables (with testreport) and update
1042        standard test output with better slection of monitored fields.
1043    o pkg/cd_code:
1044      - swtich off Adams-Bashforth on the 1rst iteration. Update output of
1045        experiment lab_sea.hb87
1046    o tools/genmake2:
1047      - change default makedepend from the system default to tools/xmakedepend:
1048        When no makedepend is specified, select tools/xmakedepend it the test pass,
1049        otherwise select the system default (if exist and pass the test) or
1050        try to build cyrus-makedepend ; stop if none of the 3 works.
1051    o pkg/exf & pkg/thsice:
1052      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
1053        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap. Assumes:
1054       1) Rain has same temp as Air.
1055       2) Snow has no heat capacity (consistent with seaice & thsice pkgs)
1056       3) Run-Off comes at the temp of surface water (with same Cp)
1057       4) Evap over ocean is released to the Atmos @ surf-temp (=SST); should be
1058        put directly into Latent Heat flux & should use water-vapor heat capacity.
1059       5) Evap over snow/seaice (pkg/thsice) assumes constant Lf+Lv (consistent
1060        with snow having no Cp) => water vapor is released to Atmos @ 0^oC (=ERL).
1061    o pkg/seaice: simplify the use of CPP flags in JFNK-related files
1062        (compile when SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK is defined)
1063    o pkg/thsice:
1064      - fix oceanic flux diagnostics & timeave (left from new sequence of calls
1065        implementation): move THSICE_AVE call after the advection (called directly
1066        from thsice_do_advect.F).
1067    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 and OpenAD:
1068      New experiment for OpenAD is identical to the one in input_ad except that
1069        multiDimAdvection=.FALSE.,
1070      There is still an issue with this.
1071    o pkg/thsice:
1072      - account for ice velocity (ocean relative velocity) in turbulent heat flux
1073        at the base of the ice; update output of global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn)
1074        and offline_exf_seaice (main test).
1075    
1076    checkpoint64f (2013/03/31)
1077    o verification/OpenAD:
1078      - new (smaller, without OAD_DEBUG) output_oadm.txt generated using gfortran.
1079    o verification/isomip, pkg/shelfice and OpenAD:
1080      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make shelfice package work with OpenAD
1081    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1082      - update AD and TLM output after turning off ALLOW_FE (in DIC_OPTIONS.h)
1083    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1084      - replace adjoint experiment (now similar to fwd input.thermo/ setup).
1085    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens, pkg/ptracers and OpenAD:
1086      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make ptracers package work with OpenAD
1087    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F:
1088       mask the asymmetric contribution of the ice-ocean stress (when
1089       the turningAngle is non-zero) over open water to avoid stripes
1090       in the EVP-solutions after many EVP-substeps. This does not change
1091       the verification experiment (because turningAngle=0 in that experiment),
1092       but will affect other EVP solutions with turningAngle.ne.0
1093    o verification, AD & TLM output:
1094      - new TAF version 2.3.10 (previously 2.3.8) add more parenthesis in multiple
1095        additions and multiplications which affect results at machine truncation
1096        level. Update few AD output (1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5,
1097        lab_sea.noseaicedyn & offline_exf_seaice) and TLM output
1098        (1D_ocean_ice_column & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.som81) which had only 12
1099        digits of matching.
1100    o pkg/seaice:
1101       modify lsr-algorithm so that it vectorizes AND converges by using a
1102       "zebra" method: split vector loop into two with step size 2; this
1103       solves a general convergence problem for the JFNK solver on a vector
1104       computer. It has the potential to even improve convergence for
1105       non-vector machines, but it does change the results so it is turned
1106       off by default. To turn on define CPP-flags SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and
1107       SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
1108    
1109    checkpoint64e (2013/03/05)
1110    o pkg/ecco and several verification experiments:
1111       Remove special versions of the_model_main.F, the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F
1112       from ecco package, and revert to unified routine in model/src/
1113       Adjust verification experiments accordingly, especially gloal_oce_llc90
1114       Should conclude long-standing work by Gael to reconsile the_main_loop with
1115       ECCO and will enable OpenAD's revolve loop in ECCO setup.
1116    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1117      - implement compressible flow method for multi-dim advection (similar to
1118        gad_som_advect.F); add new option "GAD_MULTIDIM_COMPRESSIBLE" (since
1119        TAF generates many recomputations) to use it; no yet coded with implicit
1120        vertical advection.
1121      - change experiment advect_cs (new output) and advect_xy (same output)
1122        to test compressible flow multi-dim advection.
1123    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1124      - fix SOM advection for unusual cases (linear Free-Surf in r*, other
1125        cases where linear Free-Surf is not @ k=1, e.g., useShelfIce)
1126    o pkg/seaice:
1127      - fix bug in the no-slip implementation in seaice_calc_strainrates.F, this
1128        bug affects two verification experiments (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87),
1129        recover old (wrong) results by setting noSlipFac = 2. in
1130        seaice_calc_strainrates.F;
1131      - add another averaging method for etaZ (etaZmethod=3), a mix of 2 and 0
1132      - add runtime parameter SEAICE_JFNKepsilon for that finite difference
1133        gradient in the Jacobian times vector operation (s/r seaice_jacvec)
1134      - fix line search in seaice_jfnk.F (s/r seaice_jfnk_update)
1135    o pkg/seaice: reorganize seaice_lsr.F to be able to reuse more code:
1136      - new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1137      - introduce loop bounds i/jmin/max to be able to use a restricted
1138        additive Schwarz method, but not used for now.
1139      - rename SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS into SEAICE_LSR_CALC_COEFFS
1140      - use new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v in s/r seaice_preconditioner
1141    o OpenAD support
1142       Reorganize S/R call for overall time-stepping loop to facilitate
1143       OpenAD revolve loop replacement
1144       (new S/R main_do_loop.F)
1145    o model/src:
1146      - add 3-D array 3rd dimension to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2/3;
1147      - pkg/cheapaml: remove local S/R ADAMS2d and use instead standard S/R
1148        ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
1149    o pkg/cheapaml:
1150      - add new parameter (default=F, same as before) to disable full domain
1151        (including land) periodicity in X & Y dir.
1152      - new S/R CHEAPAML_COPY_EDGES to copy relaxation field into edges of
1153        prognostics field ; merge the 2 S/R cycle_2d_tracer and timestep_2d_tracer
1154        into single S/R CHEAPAML_TIMESTEP.
1155    
1156    checkpoint64d (2013/02/17)
1157    o pkg/monitor (angular momentum):
1158      - do not add Eta contribution to the total AM if using rigid-lid;
1159      - correct for Adams-Bashforth in zonal-wind part (instead of in AM_eta).
1160      - horizontal discretisation: compute Zonal wind contribution separately for
1161        each component (instead of from cell centered averaged) and use the 4
1162        grid-cell corner averaged value of Omega*(R*cos_Phi)^2 in AM_eta part.
1163      - Check that AM is conserved with linear dynamics (momAdvection=F and linear
1164        FreeSurf) if using vectorInvariant momentum.
1165    o model/src (horizontal grid):
1166      - move initialisation of all horizontal grid arrays to null value
1167        from specific horizontal grid S/R to main S/R INI_GRID;
1168      - add 2 new arrays to project model C-grid velocity on to zonal direction
1169        (similar to AngleCosC & -AngleSinC but at U and V point location) and
1170        compute them in S/R CALC_GRID_ANGLES.
1171    o pkg/seaice: replace a hard coded parameter by a runtime parameter
1172        SEAICE_JFNK_tolIter
1173    o pkg/seaice: introduce a restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) method in
1174        preconditioner for JFNK (run LSR into the overlaps as far as possible,
1175        i.e OLx/y-2, but overwrite the solution in the overlaps)
1176      - extend loop range in seaice_calc_viscosity
1177      - add new parameters SEAICE_OLx/y (default = OLx/y-2)
1178      - add flexible loop ranges to seaice_preconditioner, seaice_calc_lsr_coeffs
1179      - slightly modify loops in tridiagonal solver lsr-preconditioner
1180      - by default remove the extra exchange in seaice_preconditioner with a
1181        replacement of an undocumented CPP flag by SEAICE_PRECOND_EXTRA_EXCHANGE
1182      - modify offline_exf_seaice so that old results without RAS are reproduced
1183        for output.dyn_jfnk.txt
1184      in seaice_fgmres.F (unrelated to RAS)
1185      - add a cpp-flag option for a re-ordered mapping (potentially more
1186        efficient), but because this changes the results, turn it off by
1187        default
1188      - replace the save statement by local common blocks
1189    o utils/matlab:
1190      - fix tile-offset in rdmnc.m when output was produced using EXCH2.
1191      - update cs_grid/bk_line scripts to use load_grid.m (in utils/matlab)
1192        instead of local script "load_cs.m".
1193    o pkg/seaice:
1194      - fix a serious bug in seaice_fgmres.F, s/r seaice_scalprod, connected
1195        to the scalarProductMetric and the unrolling. By chance this does not
1196        change the verification experiment, because of the particular domain
1197        decomposition
1198    o pkg/diagnostics:
1199      - change default missing_value from UNSET_RL to -999.
1200    o pkg/layers: improve vectorization of layers_fluxcalc.F
1201      - step 1: split loops, make TatU/V 2D arrays. This alone reduces the cpu
1202        time spent in this routine by more than a factor of 3 on an NEC-SX8
1203      - step 2: replace search algorithm by a bisection algorithm found in
1204        Press et al. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This algorithm can be
1205        vectorized and finds the correct bin in approx. log2(Nlayers) steps.
1206        For now, use this algorithm only for TARGET_NEC_SX defined.
1207      - moved the search algorithm into a separate subroutine, that is kept
1208        within the same file for automatic inlining.
1209      - modified catching potential errors
1210    o pkg/ecco:
1211      - add compile switches ALLOW_SHALLOW_ALTIMETRY and ALLOW_HIGHLAT_ALTIMETRY.
1212    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk :
1213      - modifications for ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1214      -- forward_step.F, the_main_loop.F : pass options and arrays for adjoint tapes.
1215      -- load_fields_driver.F : add call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D( myTime, myIter, myThid )
1216      -- add xx_gentim2d0/1 in ctrl_ad_check_lev1_dir.h checkpoint_lev1_directives.h etc
1217      -- use ctrl_swapffields.F (new) instead of exf_SwapFFields.F in ctrl_get_gen.F
1218    o model/src:
1219      - account for moist thermodynamics in (dry) potential temperature equation;
1220        update results of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs (std + aqualev)
1221        and cpl_aim+ocn.
1222      - also switch to standard compiler (gfortran, was using ifort previously)
1223        for fizhi-cs experiments reference output.
1224    o pkg/ctrl:
1225      - 1st step toward generic time-varying control variable (2D) via CPP option
1226        ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1227      - note new namelist ctrl_nml_genarr in data.ctrl
1228    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
1229      - switch off OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE (both forward and AD code) to use new
1230        thsice calling sequence and update "output.icedyn.txt" output file.
1231    o pkg/ptracers:
1232      - from Ryan A.: code to allow to restart a tracer at regular time interval
1233        specifying a reset frequency and a reset-phase (for each tracers).
1234    o pkg/thsice:
1235      - implement new sequence of calls for thsice+seaice:
1236          previously:   ice-Dyn,ice-Advect,ice-Thermo(thsice)
1237          new sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect
1238      - allows (with temporary CPP option "#define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE"
1239        in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to recover old sequence;
1240      - update diagnostics for Intermediate State thsice diagnostics: now filled
1241        just before advection (instead of just after advection in old sequence);
1242      - update output of experiment offline_exf_seaice (standard test);
1243      - in global_ocean.cs32x15 exp., postpone output.icedyn.txt update
1244        by setting #define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE in CPP_OPTIONS.h
1245    o pkg/aim_v23:
1246      - use tiled array for aim_CO2 and surface wind speed for export to coupler;
1247      - use standard pkg/mdsio routines to read & write CO2 pickup file;
1248      - in-line S/R AIM_AIM2DYN_EXCHANGES in aim_do_physics.F;
1249      - Implement new sequence of calls for seaice advection (with thsice and
1250        seaice diffusion): do ice advection after ice-Thermodynamic (previously
1251        was done before); change aim_do_physics.F (split the bi,bj loops block);
1252      - use same CPP option (OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE) to recover old sequence;
1253    o pkg/thsice:
1254      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
1255        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
1256    
1257    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
1258    o pkg/seaice:
1259      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
1260        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
1261      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
1262      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
1263        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
1264      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
1265        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
1266        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
1267        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
1268    o pkg/mdsio:
1269      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
1270        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
1271        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
1272        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
1273    o pkg/exf & thsice:
1274      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
1275        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
1276    o verification/cfc_example:
1277      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
1278        illustrate how to use it).
1279    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1280      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
1281        files to only one time-record.
1282      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
1283        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
1284        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
1285        surf-current=0.2m/s.
1286      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
1287        initial conditions).
1288    o verification/cfc_example:
1289      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
1290        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
1291        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
1292    o pkg/layers:
1293      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
1294      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
1295    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1296      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
1297        anywhere else).
1298    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1299      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
1300      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
1301    o model/src:
1302      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
1303        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
1304    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
1305      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
1306        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
1307        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
1308        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
1309        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
1310        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
1311        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
1312      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
1313        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
1314        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
1315        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
1316        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
1317        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
1318    o pkg/cheapaml:
1319      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
1320    o pkg/seaice:
1321      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
1322        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
1323    o model/src:
1324      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
1325        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
1326        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
1327    o pkg/cheapaml:
1328      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
1329        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
1330      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
1331        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
1332      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
1333      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
1334        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
1335    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
1336      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
1337    o pkg/seaice:
1338      - remove legacy branch code.
1339      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
1340    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
1341      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
1342        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
1343    o pkg/cheapaml:
1344      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
1345        to load new forcing fields.
1346      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
1347      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
1348        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
1349    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1350      - add thermodynamics only test.
1351    o verification/cheapAML_box:
1352      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
1353        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
1354      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
1355        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
1356    
1357    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
1358    o pkg/cheapaml:
1359      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
1360      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
1361        and fix the AB-2 restart.
1362    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
1363      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
1364      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
1365      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
1366      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
1367    o pkg/seaice:
1368      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
1369        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
1370        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
1371        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
1372    o model/src:
1373      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
1374        (in case of a poor convergence).
1375    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
1376      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
1377        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
1378        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
1379        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
1380      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
1381        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
1382        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
1383        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
1384    o verification/seaice_obcs:
1385      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
1386        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
1387    o model/src:
1388      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
1389    o pkg/seaice:
1390      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
1391        cleaning up the code
1392      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
1393        second argument
1394      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
1395        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
1396      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
1397    o pkg/aim_v23:
1398      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
1399    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
1400      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
1401        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
1402        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
1403            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
1404      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
1405        default: not compiled and not used.
1406    o pkg/seaice:
1407      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
1408        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
1409        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
1410      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
1411      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
1412      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
1413    o verification:
1414      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
1415        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
1416        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
1417        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
1418        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
1419      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
1420    o pkg/exf:
1421      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
1422    o verification:
1423      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
1424        to test pkg/cheapaml.
1425    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
1426      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
1427    o pkg/seaice:
1428      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
1429      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
1430    o eesupp/src:
1431       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
1432    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
1433       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
1434         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
1435       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
1436         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
1437         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
1438         undocumented ifdefs
1439       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
1440    o tools/genmake2:
1441      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
1442        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
1443    
1444    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
1445    o pkg/autodiff:
1446      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
1447        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
1448        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
1449        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
1450        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
1451    o pkg/obcs:
1452      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
1453        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
1454    o pkg/seaice:
1455      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
1456        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
1457      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
1458    o pkg/aim_v23:
1459      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
1460    o pkg/shap_filt:
1461      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
1462        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
1463    o model/src:
1464      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
1465        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
1466      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
1467        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
1468        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
1469        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
1470    o pkg/seaice:
1471      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
1472        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
1473        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
1474        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
1475        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
1476      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
1477      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
1478        + introduce global field etaZ
1479        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
1480          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
1481        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
1482          seaice_preconditioner
1483      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
1484      - seaice_preconditioner:
1485        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
1486        + adjust printing of residuals
1487      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
1488        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
1489          seaice_init_fixed.F)
1490        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
1491        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
1492          interval to STDOUT
1493      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
1494        some operations
1495      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
1496        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
1497        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
1498      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
1499        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
1500    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
1501      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
1502      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
1503    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
1504    o pkg/autodiff
1505      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
1506        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
1507        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
1508    o pkg/seaice
1509      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
1510        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
1511        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
1512        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
1513        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
1514        code is not complete yet!!
1515      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
1516    o verification (using seaice):
1517      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
1518        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
1519      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
1520      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
1521        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
1522    o pkg/exf:
1523      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
1524        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
1525        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
1526    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1527      - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
1528        this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
1529    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1530      - remove ALLOW_LAYERS_OUTPUT ; fix snap-shot and time-ave output ;
1531      - snap-shot extended to all type of layers (not just the 1rst type);
1532      - remove layers variables when corresponding CPP option is undef.
1533    o pkg/layers:
1534      - rename pkg/layers variable and add new output (layer exist & un-weighted
1535        velocity in layer)
1536    o pkg/seaice:
1537      - simplify (?) ocean-drag coefficent computations by using
1538        the same routine in all three solvers (saves some code lines)
1539      - remove global fields DRAGA and DRAGS from C-grid code and
1540        declare them locally in lsr.F (the only place where they are
1541        still used)
1542      - update AD output of lab_sea.evp (very sensitive anyway).
1543    o pkg/seaice: add Jacobian-free Newton Krylov solver for ice dynamics
1544      (Lemieux et al. 2010, 2012). Turn on with the usual SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK
1545      and SEAICEuseJFNK=.true. A few things to note:
1546      - involves a FGMRES, that is parallel but very inefficient,
1547        because of many scalar products (global sums) in the Gram-Schmidt
1548        orthogonalization method. Needs to be replaced. Original code
1549        from J.-F. Lemieux
1550      - preconditioner for FGMRES is a stripped down version of LSOR
1551      - SOLV_MAX_ITERS is now used for LSOR as a solver and as a
1552        preconditioner. For the preconditioner, the default is set to 10.
1553      - Jacobian times vector is computed with finite differences
1554      - marginally related to JFNK-solver: add a smooth regularization for
1555        zeta with tanh that will improve convergence (Lemieux and Tremblay,
1556        2009) for any implicit solver (not implemented for EVP because EVP
1557        does not need this regularization in the first place). Define
1558        SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to use.
1559    o eesupp/src:
1560      - check in genmake2 that intrinsic S/R flush is available.
1561      - add S/R to flush IO unit (if intrinsic S/R flush is available)
1562      - flush standard & error msg unit before MPI termination
1563      - if debugMode, flush IO unit after printing msg
1564    o pkg/ctrl:
1565      - ctrl_unpack.F, ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL code: fix missing argument in call
1566        to ctrl_set_unpack_xyz.
1567    
1568    checkpoint64 (2012/10/09)
1569    o pkg/shelfice
1570      - in mom_fluxform.F, mom_vecinv.F:
1571        CALL SHELFICE_V_DRAG(bi,bj,k,vFld,KE,KappaRU,vF,myThid)
1572        Bug fix KappaRU -> KappaRV
1573        does not change verification/isomip but may change other setups
1574        (presumably constant KappaRU=KappaRV)
1575      - fix diagnostics SHIU/Vdrag (thanks to Tom Millgate)
1576    o pkg/obcs:
1577      - fixed some indexing bugs in obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1578      - added obcs relaxation subroutines for HSALT and HSNOW
1579      - changes verification/seaice_obcs/results/obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1580    o pkg/seaice:
1581      - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,
1582        default is off for now.
1583    o pkg/obcs:
1584      - added obcs_seaice_sponge.F for obcs relaxation of seaice variables;
1585        see verification/seaice_obcs/input.seaiceSponge for example application.
1586      - remove local commom bloc "OBCS_GLOBAL" in obcs_readparms.F and do all the OB
1587        index setting by master-thread. This fix multi-threads Pb in previous modifs.
1588    o pkg/layers :
1589      - add diagnostics to pkg/layers
1590      - move the meat of pkg/layers from layers_calc.F to layers_fluxcalc.F
1591        (from R.Tulloch). Layers_calc.F now calls layers_fluxcalc.F accordingly.
1592    o pkg/generic_advdiff/gad_implicit_r.F :
1593      - fix ADVr diagnostics in case of both implicit vertical advection and diffusion.
1594    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
1595      - fix SItflux diagnostics in virtual salt flux + balanceEmpmr case.
1596    o pkg/obcs:
1597      - change default setting of OBCS_UVICE_OLD from defined to undef;
1598      - use new parameter OB_indexNone for null index value (instead of hard-coded 0)
1599        in all pkg/obcs code and in other pkgs; remove k loop in obcs_check_depths.F;
1600      - pass OB_indexNone as (new) argument to S/R CTRL_MASK_SET_[X,Y]Z;
1601      - change OB null index value (OB_indexNone) to -99 ; this fix the problem
1602        with Southern & Western OB at a tile edge (at least in a simple set-up).
1603    o pkg/obcs:
1604      - change settings of OB index in case OB coincides with tile edge (shared by
1605        2 tiles), so that common OB location is registered by both tiles (instead of
1606        only 1). However, for Southern and Western OB, index value = 0 is not
1607        recognized as valid OB index (=default null value) and needs to be fixed.
1608      - modify accordingly OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW and OBCS_MONITOR (avoid double counting)
1609      - new parameter "OB_indexNone" for null index value (for now, still zero)
1610        to replace hard-coded null index value of zero.
1611    o pkg/exch2:
1612      - improve W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE (faster) and W2_E2_DEBUG_ON:
1613        always check buffer-size (but outside the loop); move checking for valid
1614        index from W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE to W2_E2_DEBUG_ON; in W2_E2_DEBUG_ON,
1615        print each tile and point connection only if |W2_printMsg|>= 2 and 3.
1616    o pkg/ctrl (pack & unpack):
1617      - in ctrl_pack.F & ctrl_unpack.F, use the same local file-name variable
1618        (locally defined) for different variables (+ remove the variable-specific
1619        file name in CTRL_GENARR.h). For now, only implemented for GENARR2/3D_CONTROL
1620        (to be extended to other local file names in ctrl.h).
1621    o pkg/flt:
1622      - add a FLT_Iter0 option (similar to PTRACERS_Iter0).
1623    o pkg/mdsio:
1624      - fix missing STOP in mdsio_readvec_loc.F (case ioUnit=0) when file is missing
1625    o tools/genmake2:
1626      - add similar dependences for target EXE_AD & EXE_FTL as we have for EXECUTABLE
1627        (added by Alistair in version 1.51 for building without make depend);
1628      - remove Header files list (H_SRC_FILES) from the dependence of targets
1629         ad_input_code.f & ftl_input_code.f (not clear why it was added in the first
1630        place in version 1.23): this save going through staf when unrelated header
1631        file has been modified.
1632       Note: for an intermediate target (e.g., ad_input_code.f or adtaf) without
1633        "make depend" step, still need to do "make links" before "make adtaf".
1634    o eesupp/src (+ few pkg src files) & genmake2:
1635      - finish to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see;
1636      - no longer set ALWAYS_USE_MPI in Makefile (was done by genmake2).
1637      - improve genmake2 checking for ALLOW_${PKG} in CPP_OPTIONS.h files (distinguish
1638         upper/lower case ; account for space between "#" and undef/define)
1639    o pkg/flt (with exch2):
1640      - cleaning: fix so that it compiles; move remaining MPI calls out of flt_exch2.F;
1641      - simplify threads synchronisation; fix (many issues) multi-threaded with MPI.
1642    
1643    checkpoint63s (2012/09/05)
1644    o pkg/ecco:
1645      - remove #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D brackets.
1646      - add more relevant #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH ones.
1647      - sort out useAtmWind, useSMOOTH, ctrlSmoothCorrel2D.
1648    o pkg/ctrl:
1649      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h : document CPPs related to smoothing; ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D,
1650        ALLOW_CTRL_SMOOTH, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL2D, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL3D.
1651      - ctrl.h : document run time params doInitXX, doMainPack, doMainUnpack, doPackDiag,
1652        doSinglePrecTapelev (audodiff param!), ctrlSmoothCorrel2D (new) and
1653        ctrlSmoothCorrel3D (new).
1654        The added ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D replace the old ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D CPP.
1655      - ctrl_readparms.F : initialise ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D and read from namelist.
1656      - ctrl_init.F ctrl_pack.F ctrl_unpack.F : switch off ustress/vstress
1657        controls when useAtmWind, and vice versa.
1658      - ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F : UVEL0, VVEL0, edtaux, edtauy cannot be smoothed as tracers.
1659      - ctrl_get_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D with
1660          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel2D, IF useSMOOTH.
1661      - ctrl_map_ini_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D with
1662          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel3D, IF useSMOOTH.
1663      - ctrl_set_pack_xy[z].F, ctrl_set_unpack_xy[z].F:
1664        replace ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D brackets with ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D.
1665    o pkg/smooth:
1666      - remove un-necessary includes.
1667      - remove ALLOW_SMOOTH*D and ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL*D brakets.
1668        Those CPP options were never defined, and not necessary.
1669    o model/src:
1670      - fix CPP brackets in ini_mixing.F (GM_background_K belongs to gmredi).
1671      - standard treatment of useSMOOTH.
1672    o pkg/autodiff:
1673      - add LOGICAL useGGL90inAdMode, useGGL90inFwdMode, useSALT_PLUMEinAdMode,
1674        useSALT_PLUMEInFwdMode allowing to switch off ggl90 and salt_plume adjoint.
1675    o pkg/exch2:
1676      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (in exch2_rx?_cube*.template)
1677        + start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see.
1678      - make new S/R W2_MAP_PROCS out of w2_eeboot.F to setup exch2 CommonFlag
1679        and tiles to process mapping.
1680      - re-arrange 3 header files (W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h, _BUFFER.h & _TOPOLOGY.h)
1681        moving /EXCH2_FILLVAL_RX/ & /W2_EXCH2_COMMFLAG/ to W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h;
1682        rename "exch2_tProc" to "W2_tileProc" and move seting of e2FillValue_RX
1683        from w2_eeboot.F to w2_readparms.F.
1684    o eesupp/src:
1685      - set exchNeedsMemsync & exchUsesBarrier according to "usingMPI" (instead of
1686        ALWAYS_USE_MPI) + moved from ini_communication_patterns.F to eeset_parms.F;
1687        also move setting of exchCollectStatistics from exch_init.F to eeset_parms.F
1688      - in eedie.F and all_proc_die.F, always call MPI_FINALIZE when ALLOW_USE_MPI
1689        is defined (remove condition on usingMPI) to match cases where MPI_INIT
1690        has been called.
1691      - fix bug I put in previous modif of exch_sm_3d_rx.template (not much used);
1692      - change default (non-MPI) value of myPid (from 1 to 0) to match MPI settings
1693        (so that on 1 proc, get same myPid independently of usingMPI)
1694      - add a stop if multi-procs but usingMPI=F ; stop also if usingMPI=T and
1695        useCubedSphereExchange with EXCH-1 (safer).
1696      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (+ start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI).
1697    o pkg/ggl90:
1698      - fix bug in filling corner mask array "mskCor" (FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL call)
1699        used in ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH code.
1700    o pkg/flt:
1701      - fix typo in FLT_WITHOUT_Y_PERIODICITY (the effect was to ignore stopping
1702        floats at the Southern end of the domain).
1703    o eesupp/inc:
1704      - add a list of CPP-options which can be set by Makefile (DEF_IN_MAKEFILE.h);
1705        but not used (and not to be used) anywhere, just for documentation.
1706    o pkg/autodiff, exf, ptracers & seaice (AD & TL output):
1707      - comment out the very nasty "writeBinaryPrec = writeStatePrec" line, since:
1708        a) can damage previously written records in any other multi-record files.
1709        b) if needed, can easily do it cleanly, by calling S/R WRITE_REC_3D_RL/S.
1710    o tools/genmake2:
1711      - define variable MAKE within Makefile and use it in place of 'make';
1712      - update AD_CONFIG.h (if needed) before building any of the executable
1713        (forward, adjoint or tangent-lin); this involves a 2nd invocation of make;
1714        and add the usual #ifndef/#define AD_CONFIG_H in AD_CONFIG.h;
1715      - always print usual warning comment 'this file is automatically generated'
1716        from script convert_cpp_cmd2defines (+ remove this warning from genmake2).
1717    o pkg/cheapaml:
1718      - updated to correspond to the code used in accepted paper (Nico Wienders).
1719    o pkg/exf:
1720        added run time switch useAtmWind to replace ALLOW_ATM_WIND cpp switch.
1721        ALLOW_ATM_WIND now just sets the useAtmWind default (see exf_readparms.F)
1722        and force defines ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE (EXF_OPTIONS.h).
1723    o pkg/exf, autodiff, ctrl, ecco and seaice:
1724        remove ALLOW_ATM_WIND brackets, or replace them with useAtmWind ones.
1725    o pkg/ctrl, ecco:
1726        allow to compile both ALLOW_U/VSTRESS_CONTROL and ALLOW_U/VWIND_CONTROL.
1727        Depending on useAtmWind, one is inactive, and the other is active (see
1728        exf_getffields.F/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F).
1729    o tools/genmake2:
1730      - improve error msg when failing in 2nd test of check_for_broken_Ff
1731      - fix option '-makefile' short-name (-mf according to genmake2 -help)
1732      - source local config file "genmake_local" just after processing the genmake2
1733        command arguments (previously done before processing arg).
1734    o pkg/grdchk:
1735      - add a call to TURNOFF_MODEL_IO for Tangent-Linear run (in this case, call
1736        to this routine from cost_final has been dropped in g_cost_final)
1737      - improve printed information (more explicit msg, no longer using "print *,"
1738         fix fcpertminus printed value).
1739    o model/src:
1740      - move call to COST_INIT_VARIA out of packages_init_variables.F directly
1741        into initialise_varia.F (just after calling PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES):
1742        this prevents getting cost-funct reset in adinitialise_varia recomputations.
1743    o pkg/dic:
1744      - move initialisation of "freefe" array from from dic_biotic_forcing.F to
1745        fe_chem.F: this prevents TAF from dropping this initialisation in TLM code.
1746    o pkg/grdchk:
1747      - grdchk_main.F : added CALL GLOBAL_SUM_INT( ierr , myThid )
1748      - grdchk_getadxx.F etc. : omit I/O if ierr.EQ.0
1749    o pkg/autodiff/ctrl/grdchk :
1750      - attempt to sort out what works and what does not,
1751        with regard to I/O, and to warn/stop accordingly.
1752    o pkg/grdchk:
1753      - attempt to fix grdchk in the case of useSingleCpuIO.
1754      - "if ( myProcId .EQ. grdchkwhichproc .AND. ierr .EQ. 0 )"
1755       statements were moved from grdchk_main.F and into
1756       grdchk_getadxx.F grdchk_getxx.F grdchk_setxx.F.
1757      - a global sum is applied to record numbers icvrec/layer
1758       out of grdchk_loc so that they be passed to I/O routines.
1759    o pkg/smooth:
1760      - fix recomputation that appeared with nlfs : use smooth_recip_hFacC,
1761        smooth_hFacW, smooth_hFacS (copied at init_fixed) in 3d case.
1762    o verification/testreport:
1763      - add option '-tlm' for Tangent-Linear test (-adm,-oad,-tlm are all exclusive);
1764      - can also use compressed (gzip) reference output file;
1765      - change format (in pkg/grdchk) of TLM output (+ add forward gradient)
1766        to be easier to collect by testreport.
1767      - update existing TLM output (half out-of-date by more than 3 yrs).
1768      - report NETCDF & LAPACK settings (from genmake2) in output dir.
1769      - report run-time in each individual summary (previously only for AD test);
1770        for TLM test, add also TAF version.
1771      - add daily TLM test on (old) aces cluster + weekly test on baudelaire.
1772    
1773    checkpoint63r (2012/08/15)
1774    o tools/genmake2:
1775      - fix Makefile for target ftlall (+ update files to clean after make ftlall)
1776    o pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F :
1777      - fix fc print statements (to stdout and costfunction0000) so
1778        that the printed value is always after the global sum.
1779    o pkg/seaice/seaice_dynsolver.F :
1780      - fix ice strength assymptote at SEAICE_area_max<1
1781        (no change for the standard case of SEAICE_area_max=1)
1782    o some cleaning:
1783      - pkg source files: ensure that all *.F files from each pkg included the
1784        corresponding ${PKG}_OPTIONS.h file (except stand-alone src file which
1785        only includes CPP_EEOPTIONS.h); fix S/R CTRL_SMOOTH ; update AD experiment
1786        code_ad/*.F src files; add new option-file in pkg/admtlm + corresponding
1787        includes;
1788      - model/src: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h wherever ALLOW_AUTODIFF[_TAMC] is used.
1789      - ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL: add a stop in S/R CTRL_CHECK in case ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
1790        is undef; also define /DYNVARS_DIFFKR/ common block in DYNVARS.h when
1791        ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL is defined, to allow to compile and reach this stop.
1792      - update option-file CPP_OPTIONS.h of all AD experiments:
1793        * no longer include PACKAGES_CONFIG.h ;
1794        * includes ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h if PACKAGES_CONFIG.h has been included ;
1795        * def/undef ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR independently of ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL (before
1796          including ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h).
1797    o pkg/cost, pkg/ctrl, pkg/ecco option-file:
1798      - clean-up and split content of old pkg/ecco/ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h file into
1799        separated pkg option-file (done according to old doc from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h,
1800        not necessary accurate).
1801      - add a template for option-file ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h, mostly empty, in
1802        pkg/autodiff, i.e., the 1rst pkg to compile for adjoint built, with lines to
1803        deliberately break compilation (a remainder that it needs to be customized)
1804      - in pkg/ecco, includes ECCO_OPTIONS.h instead of COST_OPTIONS.h
1805      - rename COST_CPPOPTIONS.h to COST_OPTIONS.h
1806      - rename CTRL_CPPOPTIONS.h to CTRL_OPTIONS.h
1807    o tools/genamke2:
1808      - check for lapack.
1809    o pkg/cost and pkg/ecco : attempt to sort out some of the limiting intricacies.
1810      - pkg/cost.cost_final.F : allow for use of pkg/ecco and pkg/cost cost functions
1811        jointly. The exclusive ifdefs were removed, to add costs terms (when defined)
1812        from both packages.
1813      - the fc global sum in pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F was removed accordingly.
1814      - for objf_atl we use either the pkg/ecco or the pkg/cost term depending on CPPs.
1815      - pkg/ecco and model/src : add CPP brackets around pkg/cost and pkg/ctrl includes
1816        of "CTRL_SIZE.h" "ctrl.h" "ctrl_dummy.h" "optim.h" / "cost.h" accordingly.
1817    o pkg/cost : add comments to explain special and/or untested setups.
1818    o pkg/exf:
1819      - use EXF_OPTIONS.h to set pkg/exf options except if done in ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h
1820        (previously, ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC was controling this switch).
1821    o verification/*/code_ad:
1822      mimimal cleaning of AD experiments ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h option-file:
1823      - reccord when this file is included (define ECCO_CPPOPTIONS_H)
1824      - remove the most obvious obsolete features (e.g., #define ALLOW_COST not
1825        allowed since Oct 2003 in any option-file except in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h)
1826    o pkg/seaice :
1827      - added possibility to change ice strength/PRESS0 relationship to
1828        HEFF, according to the following run time parameters
1829        SEAICEpresPow0 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength below SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
1830        SEAICEpresPow1 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength above SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
1831        SEAICEpresH0   :: HEFF threshold for ice strength            (m)
1832    o pkg/ggl90 :
1833      - added run time flag mxlSurfFlag to include the code that ensure
1834        mixing between first and second level (previously included as a comment)
1835    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/input_ad/data.autodiff :
1836      - add test of newly added dumpAdByRec=T option where
1837        we write all records to one file per variable.
1838    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/code_ad/CPP_OPTIONS.h :
1839      - switch to #define ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX and ALLOW_BALANCE_FLUXES
1840        to check that this code is ok with taf and compiles in adjoint.
1841    o pkg/autodiff :
1842      - added run time param dumpAdByRec : ad dump format switch.
1843        If true then write all records to one file per variable.
1844        Else write one file per record (remains the default).
1845      - revise seaice_ad_dump.F and exf_adjoint_snapshots_ad.F accordingly.
1846    o pkg/seaice:
1847     - Added SEAICEuseTILT run time switch : if set to
1848       false then omit the tilt term in seaice dynamics.
1849     - Fix free drift calculation.
1850    o pkg/shelfice:
1851      When initializing SHELFICEDragQuadratic, set default to be
1852      consistent with shiCdrag in case SHELFICEuseGammaFrict is used,
1853      but retain option to set it independently
1854      (inconsistenty spotted by Veronique Dansereau)
1855    o eesupp/inc:
1856      - in EEPARAMS.h, add real-type constant for some frequently used simple number
1857         (0,1,2,1/2), with name explicitly referring to RS/RL type.
1858    o model/src:
1859      - move balancing of relaxation terms to new S/R balance_relax.F.
1860    o pkg/autodiff:
1861      re-write active I/O high-level (control) S/R:
1862      - rename  S/R ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_RL to ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_3D_RL
1863      - add 1 more argument (useCurrentDir) to replace the "_LOC" 2nd set of S/R.
1864      - use standard pkg/mdsio I/O routines (MDS_READ/WRITE_SEC_XZ/YZ  and
1865        MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD); change loops to multi-threads.
1866      - update and merge active_file_control_slice.flow into active_file_control.flow
1867      - update the calls in lower level S/R (active_file.F, active_file_g.F and
1868        active_file_ad.F) keeping the argument list and function unchanged.
1869      - also update lower-level "_LOC" version (call same S/R with "useCurrentDir
1870        =.TRUE.") and remove high-level (control) _loc version (not called anymore).
1871      - new low-level active I/O routines, one for each type (RL/RS), for active var
1872        of various (XY,XZ,YZ) shape and level number (arguments: arrShape, myNr);
1873        fix ctrl_init_wet.F & ecco_cost_weights.F by calling the new S/R with the
1874        right type.
1875    o autodiff and RS=real*4:
1876      - call the right type (_RS instead of _RL) of S/R in few output S/R (pkg/exf
1877        ad-monitor and snapshots); disable arrType='RS' in mdsio_gl*.F ;
1878      - change argument type of 3-D mask argument to _RS to match type in the call
1879        (in seaice_cost*.F, ctrl_*_gen.F and *ctrl_bound.F); to be continued.
1880    o pkg/thsice:
1881      - re-anable balanceEmPmR when useSEAICE=T with useThSIce=T.
1882      - option to correct ocean fresh-water flux for imbalance of Atmos+Land
1883        fresh-water flux: uniform correction or proportional to local precip.
1884    o pkg/ctrl:
1885      - new header file CTRL_SIZE.h for parameters maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D
1886      - redefine CPP option ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL to
1887                            ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL_NONGENERIC
1888      - verification/hs94.1x64x5/ tests ALLOW_GENARR{2D,3D}_CONTROL
1889    
1890    checkpoint63q (2012/07/30)
1891    o pkg/autodiff:
1892      note about monitor and snap-shot of ad-variables:
1893      a) need to apply ADEXCH before monitor or output of ad-vars to include
1894       overlap contributions (was done for adjDump but missing for monitor).
1895      b) since ADEXCH implies adding overlap values to interior array, machine
1896       truncation error is expected when adding an ADEXCH call in the middle of
1897       the time-stepping (although mathematically identical).
1898      modifs:
1899      - fix some incorrect type (RL/RS, UV/scalar) in ADEXCH calls and ad-vars
1900        declaration (adEddyPsiX,adEddyPsiY in adcommon.h).
1901      - add new run-time params (dumpAdVarExch & mon_AdVarExch) to select how  to
1902        apply ADEXCH before monitor or snap-shot of ad-variables:
1903           =0 : no ADEXCH ; =1 : do ADEXCH ; =2 : apply ADEXCH on a local copy.
1904      - implement new method (copy+adexch) for snap-shot and monitor of main model
1905        ad-vars (initially not used by default -> output unchanged).
1906      - change default (set to 2) to use new method and update few output_adm.txt
1907        with accurate ad-monitor (global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
1908        and both tutorial_tracer_adjsens tests).
1909      - switch 2 global_ocean.cs32x15 AD-tests to AB-2 (seaice_dynmix & thsice)
1910        and turn off momDissip_In_AB in the 2 other (needed for stable AB-3).
1911    o pkg/ctrl:
1912      enable the use of a variable number (maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D) of
1913      generic control variables via
1914      #define ALLOW_GENARR2D_CONTROL and/or #define ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL
1915      Only required customization should be S/R ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F
1916      (routine in repository contains example)
1917    o pkg/exf:
1918      - fix and refine checking of surface-relaxation setting when using EXF
1919    o verification (adjoint exp):
1920      - reduce length of simulation by half for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15
1921        (std, seaice & seaice_dynmix) and exp tutorial_dic_adjoffline; update output.
1922    o pkg/mom_common (mom_u/v_bottomdrag), pkg/shelfice (shelfice_u/v_drag)
1923      - replace if statements KE.ne.0 with KE.gt.0 to avoid sqrt of negative numbers
1924        of KE that can occur with aggressive optimization
1925      + put quadratic bottom drag calculation in separated loops (only done if
1926        using bottomDragQuadratic)
1927    o model/src: CG2D_NSA
1928      - clean-up:  stop if cg2dNormaliseRHS=T and AUTODIFF
1929         and replace GLOBAL_SUM calls with GLOBAL_SUM_TILE.
1930      - in test-exp that uses CG2D_NSA (bottom_ctrl & tutorial_tracer_adjsens),
1931         change cg2d residual target to be expressed in Wunits (=> do not normalise
1932         RHS ; this fix global_max Pb with TAF); update output.
1933    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
1934       improve parameter consistency (and get rid of warnings):
1935       - use deltaTFreeSurf=deltaTtracer (better with NonLin FreeSurf);
1936       - switch Temp Adv Scheme from 81 to 80 (no limiter since theta < 0 is physical)
1937       - use staggerTimeStep (for stability) in som81; use default rotation period.
1938    o pkg/exch2:
1939      - with empty facet: fix compact-format (W2_mapIO=1) definition (was previously
1940        reset to 0 = 1 long line in X)
1941    o pkg/mdsio:
1942      - fix reading of dimensions from meta file for large-size domain
1943    o model/src:
1944      - fix saltIsActiveTr setting for IdealGas eosType (eosType is 6 character long);
1945      - to refine CS-grid check, add logical flag "hasWetCSCorners": true if using
1946        Cubed-Sphere Exch with CS-corners inside the domain;
1947        make new S/R INI_GLOBAL_DOMAIN from code in ini_linear_phisurf.F to calculate
1948        globalArea and to set hasWetCSCorners.
1949      - add warning if usingCurvilinearGrid and momAdvection in flux-form (missing
1950        metric terms); stop if hasWetCSCorners=T and momAdvection in flux-form.
1951      - re-activate the stop if useCDscheme and hasWetCSCorners=T (previously if
1952        useCDscheme and useCubedSphereExchange).
1953    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F :
1954      - compute the SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX term accordingly
1955        for the (.NOT.useRealFreshWaterFlux).OR.(nonlinFreeSurf.EQ.0)
1956        when the previous code was not correct.
1957      - in all cases diagnoze the boundary condition mismatch to SIaaflux
1958      - in the case of useRealFreshWaterFlux.AND.(nonlinFreeSurf.GT.0) add
1959        that term to QNET (essentially to set the melt/freeze water to 0degC).
1960        when SEAICEheatConsFix is true, so that the ocean+ice budget heat is closed.
1961    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice :
1962      - add SEAICEheatConsFix in data.seaice, ensuring closed ocean+ice heat budget.
1963      - add diagnostics (commented out) for budget test using my matlab codes (gcmfaces).
1964      - update results (output.seaice.txt) accordingly.
1965    o verification/lab_sea/input/data.seaice :
1966      - remove SEAICEheatConsFix, which is now be tested
1967        in global_ocean.cs32x15. The presently coded fix
1968        is only consistent with real fresh water + nlfs.
1969      - update results (output.txt) accordingly.
1970    o pkg/salt_plume: added diagnotic for salt tendency (oceSPtnd).
1971    o AD_CONFIG.h file:
1972      - in genmake2: remove "#undef ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION" from AD_CONFIG.h;
1973      - remove #include "AD_CONFIG.h" from all included OPTIONS files and
1974        add it explicitly in each fortran src file where it is needed.
1975        motivation: header file AD_CONFIG.h is generated/modified after "make depend"
1976        thus introducing potentially wrong dependency; therefore, better to include
1977        it only where it's really needed, and after any other included OPTIONS file
1978        (less tempting to bring conditional includes according to ALLOW_ADJOINT_RUN
1979        or ALLOW_TANGENTLINEAR_RUN).
1980    
1981    checkpoint63p (2012/07/06)
1982    o pkg/autodiff:
1983      - rename S/R INI_AUTODIFF to AUTODIFF_INIT_VARIA ;
1984      - create new header file "AUTODIFF_PARAMS.h" for pkg/autodiff parameters
1985        which are now read from new parameter file "data.autodiff" (inAdExact
1986        previously in "data", use{KPP/GMRedi/SEAICE}inAdMode previously in data.pkg)
1987      - add file "data.autodiff" in all verification/*/input_ad/ directories.
1988      - add run-time parameter to turn On/Off SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT in adjoint/forward
1989        mode (used in global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix test exp.)
1990    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
1991      - add extra sub-verification which uses "SOM" advection scheme
1992        (2nd Order-Moment Advection Scheme, Prather Limiter) with
1993          #define GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV in GAD_OPTIONS.h
1994        and in data:
1995          multiDimAdvection=.TRUE.,
1996          tempAdvScheme=81,
1997          saltAdvScheme=81,
1998    o model/src:
1999      - introduce ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX which allow the removal
2000       of the global mean of relaxation terms by setting
2001       balanceThetaClimRelax and balanceSaltClimRelax
2002      - disable balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet in the case when useSeaice.
2003       This case is now treated appropriately in seaice_growth.F
2004    o pkg/seaice:
2005      - do balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet based on the net fluxes
2006        (SItflux) that enter the ocean+ice system rather than QNET
2007        and EMPMR. Works best in real fresh water.
2008      - SIatmFW, SIatmQnet, and SItflux computations had to be moved
2009        out of the diagnotics bloc, and stored in global arrays.
2010    
2011    checkpoint63o (2012/06/29)
2012    o vertical mixing schemes:
2013      - remove unused S/R CALC_BUOYANCY (left from branch-atmos merging)
2014      - replace computation of density (in Function STATE1, opps_calc.F) by a call
2015        to S/R FIND_RHO_SCALAR
2016      - pass sigmaR to S/R PP81_CALC, MY82_CALC (but not yet used) and to GGL90_CALC
2017        and use it for N^2 calculation in ggl90_calc.F (save 2 density computations);
2018        affects output (vermix.ggl90) at truncation level.
2019    o testreport:
2020      - change adjustment of SIZE.h for mpi+mth testing: preserve enough tiles
2021        (nSx,nSy) for the number of threads (from eedata.mth)
2022    o model/src:
2023      - remove 2nd set of calls at the top of initialise_varia.F (Adjoint part)
2024        related to Non_Lin Free-Surf or Bottom-Control (but not longer necessary).
2025    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens/
2026      - compile with ALLOW_CG2D_NSA
2027      - run with nonlinFreeSurf=3
2028      - update reference output_adm.txt
2029    o tools/genmake2:
2030      - add "-DHAVE_NETCDF" to the DEFINES list when NetCDF is available ;
2031        refine usePROFILES switching off (only when NetCDF is not available).
2032    o verification (atmospheric set-up):
2033      - change eosType='IDEALGAS' to eosType='IDEALG' to match variable declaration
2034    o pkg/profiles : refine profiles and files handling.
2035    o model/src and pkg/ecco : introduce run-time switch usePROFILES.
2036    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F and pkg/exf/EXF_OPTIONS.h :
2037      - changes to use model/src/the_main_loop.F rather than the ecco version
2038        in ecco type adjoint runs.
2039    o model/src:
2040      - move computation of recip of grid distance & area from INI_MASKS_ETC to INI_GRID
2041      - move setting of h0Fac[C,W,S] from INI_LINEAR_PHISURF to INI_MASKS_ETC
2042      - update_masks_etc.F: rename SMOOTH*_R4,R8 function to the corresponding type (RS,RL)
2043    o model/src:
2044      - fix S/R UPDATE_CG2D for ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL case (was empty before);
2045        update output of test experiment bottom_ctrl_5x5.
2046    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
2047      - implement vertical bi-harmonic diffusion (for now, only for T & S and
2048        only explicitly).
2049    o verification/bottom_ctrl_5x5/
2050      update reference output (results changed quite some time ago,
2051      not sure when; but new reference results look ok in terms of grdchk)
2052    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/
2053      For verification purposes, the exact adjoint rather than an approx.
2054      should be used (e.g., to comare against F.D. or TLM).
2055      removed autodiff_inadmode*_ad.F routines in code_ad/
2056      Update results/ accordingly.
2057    o pkg/cal:
2058      - change cal_getdate.F so that output date is function of input time only
2059        (less ambiguous, not mixed up with input iteration number).
2060      - fix calendarDumps for non-zero phase-lag (S/R CAL_TIME2DUMP).
2061    o pkg/diagnostics:
2062      - implement calendarDumps also for stats-diags
2063      - implement calendarDumps also for snap-shot output (negative freq)
2064      - for now, ignores calendarDumps if non-zero phase-lag.
2065    
2066    checkpoint63n (2012/06/04)
2067    o model/src:
2068      - recompute rSurfW & S to ensure consistent column thickness (needed for rStar)
2069        between Sum_k(hFac*drF) and rSurf-rLow, for now only when using pkg/shelfice;
2070      - use h0FacC, W & S to compute hFac_surfC, W & S in calc_surf_dr.F (more
2071        similar to calc_r_star.F); update results of experiment internal_wave and
2072        tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
2073    o pkg/shelfice:
2074      - add parameterisation of advective-diffusive flux into the ice shelf
2075        according to Holland and Jenkins (1999), eq.22-33, as suggested by Jan De Ryd
2076      - simply eps3/3a computation
2077    o eesupp:
2078     - add new CPP option (DISCONNECTED_TILES) to disconnect tiles (no exchange
2079       between tiles, just fill-in edges assuming locally periodic subdomain) and
2080       add corresponding exchange subroutines (EXCH0);
2081     - new CG-solver version (_EX0) for disconnected-tiles special case.
2082    o model/src (CG-solvers):
2083     - modify Single-Reduction version (CG2D_SR) in case cg2dMaxIters is reached
2084       (similar final residual output and max-Iter number as with standard version);
2085     - allows to store and use lowest-residual solution (standard & _SR versions);
2086     - cleaning up (remove old, commented out code, LETS_MAKE_JAM ...).
2087     - by default, also compile CG2D_SR version (define ALLOW_SRCG in CPP_OPTIONS.h)
2088    o eesup/src:
2089     - global_vec_sum.F cleaning: add a BARRIER ; update comments ; remove ndef
2090       ALWAYS_USE_MPI (no longer needed after fixing usingMPI settings - March 2012)
2091    o pkg/salt_plume added to lab_sea/input_ad.noseaicedyn
2092    
2093    checkpoint63m (2012/04/27)
2094    o pkg/shelfice:
2095     - account for partical cells in surface level below ice-shelf for hydrostatic
2096       pressure calculion (set uniformFreeSurfLev to F); update isomip experiments.
2097    o ad test experiments:
2098     - update and rename to "ad_optfile.local" local AD-optfile specific to a
2099       particular adjoint verification experiment (in verification/*/code_ad/)
2100    o pkg/seaice & pkg/exf:
2101     - Part two of ECCO-CLIVAR code merges.
2102       Completes merge of seaice area relax. code.
2103       Requires unified CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX
2104       to be set in EXF_OPTIONS.h since this pkg controls its I/O
2105       (and avoids second CPP option in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h)
2106     - change default value of costIceStart & costIceEnd to a valid date.
2107     - add snowPrecip to HSNOW in seaice_growth
2108    o pkg/ptracers:
2109     - move ptracers summary and setup check into separated S/R ; add a check for
2110       valid PTRACERS_Iter0 value (error+stop or just warning).
2111    o pkg/cal (+ pkg/ecco):
2112     - avoid calling a S/R with 2 times the same arg (FWD: unless both are only used
2113       as input; and for AD, unless both are not differentiable (e.g., k index)).
2114    o model/src:
2115     - define internal flag "uniformFreeSurfLev" (=T when free-surface level-index
2116       is everywhere k=1) to speed-up some calculations (by pass kSurf reference);
2117       temporary set to usingZCoords value (to be changed to F when using shelfice).
2118     - hydrostatic pressure: implement partial cell near the surface also for
2119       Z-coordinates (for the case where uniformFreeSurfLev=F); replace test on
2120       usingZCoords with test on uniformFreeSurfLev where needed (in NonHyd code).
2121    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_init.F:
2122     - add a formal parameter to s/r ctrl_init_rec to print
2123       xx_$(ctrl_valiable)_file for easier debugging
2124     - move call of cal_* routines into the if-block where they are really
2125       needed so that xx_$(ctrl_variable)_period can be 0 or -12 without having
2126       to specify a startdate
2127    o pkg/seaice:
2128     - update comments in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (+ similar update of lab_sea/code and
2129       global_ocean.cs32x15/code versions).
2130     - turn on seaice Multi-category (in data.seaice, SEAICE_multDim=7) for
2131       verification experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice and update results.
2132    o pkg/exf:
2133     - new S/R EXF_GETFIELD_START to return starting-time of a forcing field
2134       (according to useExfYearlyFields).
2135    o pkg/cal:
2136     - move calendar setting & summary (previously in cal_readparams.F) into new
2137       S/R CAL_INIT_FIXED to be called later in the initialisation process, once
2138       length of the simulation is set (after SET_PARMS call); This is an attempt
2139       to fix Pb when, e.g.: pkg/longstep, modifies the length of the run.
2140     - For safety: keep a record of pkg/cal parameter settings status
2141               to allow to STOP if one pkg/cal S/R is called too early.
2142     - add a stop in all basic pkg/cal subroutines if called before setting is done.
2143     - modify cal_getdate.F: stop when nothing was returned;
2144       if called with myIter=-1, simply retrun modelBaseDate (1,2 = startDate_1,_2);
2145       this allows to remove "cal.h" from seaice_read_parms.F & init_mnc_vars.F.
2146    
2147    checkpoint63l (2012/04/04)
2148    o pkg/bbl:
2149      - fix call to FIND_RHO_2D in bbl_calc_rho.F (case multi-tiles per proc);
2150        update global_with_exf output.yearly.txt file.
2151    o pkg/cal:
2152      - start to clean-up cal_set.F ; fix for the case where baseTime is non-zero.
2153      - remove 2 unsused and very short (1 line only) functions ;
2154      - remove unsused subroutines from AD-Diff list.
2155    o model/src:
2156      - start to implement clean wait to stop in initialization S/R (config_check.F,
2157         packages_check.F, ini_parms.F and pkg/obcs/obcs_check.F + pkg/mypackage)
2158    o folowing PRINT_MESSAGE changes:
2159      - remove reminder multiple print to the same file (STDOUT) when multi-threads.
2160  o pkg/bbl:  o pkg/bbl:
2161    - modification so it can work with z*    - modification so it can work with z*
2162    - replace deltaT with dTtracerLev(k) for asynchronous time stepping    - replace deltaT with dTtracerLev(k) for asynchronous time stepping
