4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/offline:
8      - to enable the use of other features with pkg offline (e.g., obcs),
9        also call S/R DO_OCEANIC_PHYS in offline run - more modifs to come.
10      - comment out "allowFreezing" (now active) in 2 offline testing exp.
11    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
12      - fix sign and make compatible with temp_EvPrRn .NE. UNSET_RL
13      - added RUNOFTEMP test to verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
14      - changes verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/results/output.seaice.txt
15    o pkg/atm_phys:
16      - allows to add some damping on uVel,vVel (strength only function of k).
17    o verification, ad-tests:
18      - reduce length of the simulation for AD test: global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice,
19        global_ocean_ebm and offline_exf_seaice.thsice.
20    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
21      - found a bug in s/r pkg/streamice/streamice_advect_thickness which caused
22        flux input boundary conditions to be ignored; a fix for this bug changed
23        verification results for forward test.
24      - add adjoint test.
25    o pkg/ptracers:
26      - allow to restart without SOM pickup (resetting SOM to zero).
27    o pkg/gmredi:
28      - New parameterisation for the calculation of K and (GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY) added.
29      - It uses mixing length theory and suppression by steering level effects to
30        calculate a diffusivity used in the Redi tensor (see Bates et al., submitted
31        to JPO, for more details).
32      - It also uses the diffusivity to calculate an eddy induced streamfunction
33        based on a PV closure (rather than a buoyancy closure as in GM).
34      - New files added to pkg/gmredi:
35        gmredi_k3d.F calculates the diffusivity for the Redi tensor and the eddy
36          induced overturning streamfunction (called from gmredi_calc_tensor)
37        gmredi_calc_eigs.F calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors required
38          for use in gmredi_k3d
39        gmredi_calc_urms.F calculates the the rms eddy velocity used to calculate
40          the eddy diffusivity
41    
42    checkpoint64i (2013/06/18)
43    o pkg/cheapaml:
44      - take src files from MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/offline_cheapaml/code
45        that enable the use of seaice (pkg/thsice thermo & pkg/seaice dynamics)
46        with pkg/cheapaml.
47    o utils/python: add subpackage for cubed sphere function, first example is
48        simple cs.pcol to plot 2D fields on a map
49    o pkg/streamice:
50      - This is a new package in MITgcm, which solves dynamic equations for ice
51         sheets and ice streams
52      - At the moment it is independent of atmosphere/ocean dynamics, or any
53        other physical packages in MITgcm, even ShelfIce (although it is anticipat-
54        ed that this will change)
55      - There is a new verification exercise that tests it, halfpipe_streamice,
56        evolves a 40x80 km ice stream/ice shelf (at coarse resolution) in a
57        rectangular embayment
58      - halfpipe_streamice is forward-only for now, will have TAF test soon
59      - for questions, email dgoldber@mit.edu
60    o pkg/thsice:
61      - fix filling of snow-precip diagnostic (SIsnwPrc) (left from the removing
62        of snowPrc from common bloc, on May 2nd, thsice_step_fwd.F revision 1.40);
63      - remove diagnostics 'SI_FrcFx' ( now identical to 'SI_Fract' with new
64         call sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect );
65      - allow precip from pkg/cheapaml to make snow over seaice.
66    o pkg/cfc:
67      - move in separated header file (CFC_ATMOS.h) time-serie arrays of Atmos CFC
68      - remove atmos CFC 2-D arrays from common bloc (now local variables)
69      - change some hard-coded constant to run time parameter for reading and
70        and interpolating atmospheric CFC ; keep same default as previously.
71      - more flexible reading of Atmos CFC (number of records no longer hard-coded)
72      - put arguments in standard order: myTime, myIter, myThid
73      - use standard S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL for time interpolation of
74        atmospheric CFC ; fix for the case myIter < PTRACERS_iter0.
75      - fix calculation of surf tendencys for partial-cell and/or Non-Lin Free-Surf
76      - new routine to print summary of CFC params and check for consistency.
77    o pkg/seaice: add uice/vice to the parameter list of s/r seaice_advdiff,
78      similar to thsice_advdiff.
79      Note that for the B-grid case the routine parameters uc/vc are overwritten.
80    o pkg/cfc:
81      - change time interpolation for atmospheric CFC-11 (now same as for CFC-12);
82        update output (CFC-11) of experiment cfc_example and tutorial_cfc_offline.
83      - fix interpolation of atmphspheric CFC between Sorthern and Northern
84        hemisphere value.
85    o pkg/seaice:
86      - allow to use seaice dynamics without pkg/exf (e.g., using pkg/cheapaml)
87    o pkg/seaice: add Adams-Bashforth2 time discretization for ice dynamics;
88                  so far only for JFNK-solver, turn on with SEAICEuseAB2 = .TRUE.
89      - requires an additional time level that is stored in the pickup
90      - you can start with AB2 from a pickup without this time level with
91        pickupStrictlyMatch = .false.
92    
93    checkpoint64h (2013/05/26)
94    o pkg/cheapaml:
95      - replace one ()**.5 with SQRT + use temp var "cdu = tau/Du" (coare3_flux);
96        affect machine truncation (but exp cheapAML_box still pass with 13 digits).
97      - consistent treatment of uWind,vWind location: assume everywhere in
98        pkg/cheapaml that they are on C-grid (@ uVel,vVel location)
99        (Note: was already the case for Tair,Qair advection);
100        add option (INCONSISTENT_WIND_LOCATION) to recover old results.
101      - compute diabatic forcing only in the interior (excluding overlap regions)
102      - fill in array "Qsw" (for short-wave heating);
103      - add diagnostic for precip ; fill-in diagnostics for cheapAML state vars
104        before any update (consistent with MITgcm state var diagnostics);
105      - cheapaml_fields_load.F & cheapaml_init_varia.F : only fill outer edges if
106        non periodic ; + adjusted for uWind,vWind (C-grid).
107    o pkg/seaice:
108      - remove dependence of pkg/seaice versus pkg/exf (file: pkg/pkg_depend) and
109        add explicitly pkg/exf in experiments that currently use pkg/seaice.
110      - allows to compile pkg/seaice without pkg/exf.
111    o tools/OAD_support:
112      - use a local copy (ourRWCPinBd) to ensure index ourRWCP stays within bounds
113        of array "ourStepOf" in function rvNextAction (revolve.F90).
114    o pkg/aim_compon_interf renamed to pkg/atm_compon_interf
115      - change pkg name (to be used with other atmospheric physics pkg)
116        but by-pass CVS when making the new pkg so that we keep the CVS history.
117    o pkg/offline:
118      - call OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD from pkg/offline/offline_init_varia.F
119        (previously called from pkg/dic_surfforcing_init.F)
120    o model/src:
121      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_init_variables.F, using
122        standard order, except for:
123         DIAGNOSTICS_INIT_VARIA and OFFLINE_INIT_VARIA (called @ the top),
124         CTRL_MAP_INI and OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES (called @ the bottom)
125    o new pkg: atm_phys
126      - add entry point and source code (previously in contrib
127          verification_other/atm_gray/code_gray/) for new pkg "atm_phys"
128        (atmospheric physics pkg from P. O'Gorman and T. Schneider, JCl, 2008).
129      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_readparms.F,
130         packages_init_fixed.F and packages_write_pickup.F
131        (but skip packages_init_variables.F because of TAF issues).
132      - update contrib/*/atm_gray/ experiment.
133    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
134      - simplify and fix the writing of pickup-files for ITD case
135    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
136      - introduce floe size dependent lateral melt for ITD case;
137      - cleaning (avoid division by zero, change to f77 syntax, remove tabs)
138      - update seaice_itd experiment main output.
139    o pkg/thsice:
140      - remove snowPrc from common block THSICE_FLUX, in THSICE_VARS.h and
141        declared it locally (without bi,bj) in thsice_main.F & aim_do_physics.F;
142        changed accordingly pkg/atm2d.
143    
144    checkpoint64g (2013/05/01)
145    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
146      - if defined,  river and glacier runoff temperature can be read-in from
147        runoftempfile; runoftempfile needs to have same format as runofffile
148    o pkg/thsice (& pkg/bulk_force):
149      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
150        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap (like with pkg/exf).
151      - change computation domain to always be the interior (without overlap).
152      - fix bug (wrong overlap) when using EXF and stressReduction > 0.
153    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
154      - add preliminary OpenAD setup (still has problems)
155    o pkg/seaice:
156      - turn some parameters for choosing the convergence criterion of
157        the inexact Newton method (JFNK) into runtime parameters for convenience
158      - clean up seaice_calc_viscosities.F: remove/retire two options for
159        SEAICetaZmethod (1,2), introduce area weighting for method 3; this changes
160        the results of lab_sea/input because a division has been replaced by
161        a multiplication with the reciprocal (sumNorm)
162      - modify offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk/data.seaice to improve
163        convergence of solver (changes results, of course), and to test some
164        new features
165    o model/src:
166      - remove unused (since Aug 2006) S/R SET_WRITE_GLOBAL_PICKUP and its call.
167      - remove unused forcing field "dQdT" and associated parameter "dQdTFile".
168      - move forcing adjustment (balancing surface forcing) in specific S/R
169        where might also be applied exchanges (if needed) to forcing arrays.
170    o pkg/shelfice:
171      - allow to specify the Ice-Shelf mass per unit area (instead of
172        shelficeLoadAnomaly) and do the conversion from one to the other
173      - move loading from file of shelficeLoadAnomaly from SHELFICE_INIT_VARIA
174        to SHELFICE_INIT_FIXED: (a) avoid some TAF recompution issues and
175        (b) will be loaded in time (before calling INI_PRESSURE) in case it is
176        needed in phi0surf for initial pressure calculation when useDynP_inEos_Zc
177      - update isomip experiment forward output (get machine truncation error
178        from conversion shelficeLoadAnomaly -> shelficeMass -> shelficeLoadAnomaly)
179    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
180      revise data.seaice in input.thermo and input_ad and update results accordingly
181        HO = 0.2, SEAICE_areaLossFormula = 2,
182        SEAICE_growMeltByConv = .TRUE.,
183        SEAICE_doOpenWaterMelt = .TRUE.,
184      Improve consistency with input.thsice and fix the spurious 500m ice corners
185    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
186      - set Energy Reference Level to liq. water @ 0 degC: temp_EvPrRn=0.,
187        in icedyn (thsice+seaice-dyn) test and update output.
188    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
189      - adjust list of tested variables (with testreport) and update
190        standard test output with better slection of monitored fields.
191    o pkg/cd_code:
192      - swtich off Adams-Bashforth on the 1rst iteration. Update output of
193        experiment lab_sea.hb87
194    o tools/genmake2:
195      - change default makedepend from the system default to tools/xmakedepend:
196        When no makedepend is specified, select tools/xmakedepend it the test pass,
197        otherwise select the system default (if exist and pass the test) or
198        try to build cyrus-makedepend ; stop if none of the 3 works.
199    o pkg/exf & pkg/thsice:
200      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
201        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap. Assumes:
202       1) Rain has same temp as Air.
203       2) Snow has no heat capacity (consistent with seaice & thsice pkgs)
204       3) Run-Off comes at the temp of surface water (with same Cp)
205       4) Evap over ocean is released to the Atmos @ surf-temp (=SST); should be
206        put directly into Latent Heat flux & should use water-vapor heat capacity.
207       5) Evap over snow/seaice (pkg/thsice) assumes constant Lf+Lv (consistent
208        with snow having no Cp) => water vapor is released to Atmos @ 0^oC (=ERL).
209    o pkg/seaice: simplify the use of CPP flags in JFNK-related files
210        (compile when SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK is defined)
211    o pkg/thsice:
212      - fix oceanic flux diagnostics & timeave (left from new sequence of calls
213        implementation): move THSICE_AVE call after the advection (called directly
214        from thsice_do_advect.F).
215    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 and OpenAD:
216      New experiment for OpenAD is identical to the one in input_ad except that
217        multiDimAdvection=.FALSE.,
218      There is still an issue with this.
219    o pkg/thsice:
220      - account for ice velocity (ocean relative velocity) in turbulent heat flux
221        at the base of the ice; update output of global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn)
222        and offline_exf_seaice (main test).
223    
224    checkpoint64f (2013/03/31)
225    o verification/OpenAD:
226      - new (smaller, without OAD_DEBUG) output_oadm.txt generated using gfortran.
227    o verification/isomip, pkg/shelfice and OpenAD:
228      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make shelfice package work with OpenAD
229    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
230      - update AD and TLM output after turning off ALLOW_FE (in DIC_OPTIONS.h)
231    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
232      - replace adjoint experiment (now similar to fwd input.thermo/ setup).
233    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens, pkg/ptracers and OpenAD:
234      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make ptracers package work with OpenAD
235    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F:
236       mask the asymmetric contribution of the ice-ocean stress (when
237       the turningAngle is non-zero) over open water to avoid stripes
238       in the EVP-solutions after many EVP-substeps. This does not change
239       the verification experiment (because turningAngle=0 in that experiment),
240       but will affect other EVP solutions with turningAngle.ne.0
241    o verification, AD & TLM output:
242      - new TAF version 2.3.10 (previously 2.3.8) add more parenthesis in multiple
243        additions and multiplications which affect results at machine truncation
244        level. Update few AD output (1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5,
245        lab_sea.noseaicedyn & offline_exf_seaice) and TLM output
246        (1D_ocean_ice_column & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.som81) which had only 12
247        digits of matching.
248    o pkg/seaice:
249       modify lsr-algorithm so that it vectorizes AND converges by using a
250       "zebra" method: split vector loop into two with step size 2; this
251       solves a general convergence problem for the JFNK solver on a vector
252       computer. It has the potential to even improve convergence for
253       non-vector machines, but it does change the results so it is turned
254       off by default. To turn on define CPP-flags SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and
255       SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
256    
257    checkpoint64e (2013/03/05)
258    o pkg/ecco and several verification experiments:
259       Remove special versions of the_model_main.F, the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F
260       from ecco package, and revert to unified routine in model/src/
261       Adjust verification experiments accordingly, especially gloal_oce_llc90
262       Should conclude long-standing work by Gael to reconsile the_main_loop with
263       ECCO and will enable OpenAD's revolve loop in ECCO setup.
264    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
265      - implement compressible flow method for multi-dim advection (similar to
266        gad_som_advect.F); add new option "GAD_MULTIDIM_COMPRESSIBLE" (since
267        TAF generates many recomputations) to use it; no yet coded with implicit
268        vertical advection.
269      - change experiment advect_cs (new output) and advect_xy (same output)
270        to test compressible flow multi-dim advection.
271    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
272      - fix SOM advection for unusual cases (linear Free-Surf in r*, other
273        cases where linear Free-Surf is not @ k=1, e.g., useShelfIce)
274    o pkg/seaice:
275      - fix bug in the no-slip implementation in seaice_calc_strainrates.F, this
276        bug affects two verification experiments (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87),
277        recover old (wrong) results by setting noSlipFac = 2. in
278        seaice_calc_strainrates.F;
279      - add another averaging method for etaZ (etaZmethod=3), a mix of 2 and 0
280      - add runtime parameter SEAICE_JFNKepsilon for that finite difference
281        gradient in the Jacobian times vector operation (s/r seaice_jacvec)
282      - fix line search in seaice_jfnk.F (s/r seaice_jfnk_update)
283    o pkg/seaice: reorganize seaice_lsr.F to be able to reuse more code:
284      - new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
285      - introduce loop bounds i/jmin/max to be able to use a restricted
286        additive Schwarz method, but not used for now.
287      - rename SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS into SEAICE_LSR_CALC_COEFFS
288      - use new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v in s/r seaice_preconditioner
289    o OpenAD support
290       Reorganize S/R call for overall time-stepping loop to facilitate
291       OpenAD revolve loop replacement
292       (new S/R main_do_loop.F)
293    o model/src:
294      - add 3-D array 3rd dimension to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2/3;
295      - pkg/cheapaml: remove local S/R ADAMS2d and use instead standard S/R
296        ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
297    o pkg/cheapaml:
298      - add new parameter (default=F, same as before) to disable full domain
299        (including land) periodicity in X & Y dir.
300      - new S/R CHEAPAML_COPY_EDGES to copy relaxation field into edges of
301        prognostics field ; merge the 2 S/R cycle_2d_tracer and timestep_2d_tracer
302        into single S/R CHEAPAML_TIMESTEP.
303    
304    checkpoint64d (2013/02/17)
305    o pkg/monitor (angular momentum):
306      - do not add Eta contribution to the total AM if using rigid-lid;
307      - correct for Adams-Bashforth in zonal-wind part (instead of in AM_eta).
308      - horizontal discretisation: compute Zonal wind contribution separately for
309        each component (instead of from cell centered averaged) and use the 4
310        grid-cell corner averaged value of Omega*(R*cos_Phi)^2 in AM_eta part.
311      - Check that AM is conserved with linear dynamics (momAdvection=F and linear
312        FreeSurf) if using vectorInvariant momentum.
313    o model/src (horizontal grid):
314      - move initialisation of all horizontal grid arrays to null value
315        from specific horizontal grid S/R to main S/R INI_GRID;
316      - add 2 new arrays to project model C-grid velocity on to zonal direction
317        (similar to AngleCosC & -AngleSinC but at U and V point location) and
318        compute them in S/R CALC_GRID_ANGLES.
319    o pkg/seaice: replace a hard coded parameter by a runtime parameter
320        SEAICE_JFNK_tolIter
321    o pkg/seaice: introduce a restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) method in
322        preconditioner for JFNK (run LSR into the overlaps as far as possible,
323        i.e OLx/y-2, but overwrite the solution in the overlaps)
324      - extend loop range in seaice_calc_viscosity
325      - add new parameters SEAICE_OLx/y (default = OLx/y-2)
326      - add flexible loop ranges to seaice_preconditioner, seaice_calc_lsr_coeffs
327      - slightly modify loops in tridiagonal solver lsr-preconditioner
328      - by default remove the extra exchange in seaice_preconditioner with a
329        replacement of an undocumented CPP flag by SEAICE_PRECOND_EXTRA_EXCHANGE
330      - modify offline_exf_seaice so that old results without RAS are reproduced
331        for output.dyn_jfnk.txt
332      in seaice_fgmres.F (unrelated to RAS)
333      - add a cpp-flag option for a re-ordered mapping (potentially more
334        efficient), but because this changes the results, turn it off by
335        default
336      - replace the save statement by local common blocks
337    o utils/matlab:
338      - fix tile-offset in rdmnc.m when output was produced using EXCH2.
339      - update cs_grid/bk_line scripts to use load_grid.m (in utils/matlab)
340        instead of local script "load_cs.m".
341    o pkg/seaice:
342      - fix a serious bug in seaice_fgmres.F, s/r seaice_scalprod, connected
343        to the scalarProductMetric and the unrolling. By chance this does not
344        change the verification experiment, because of the particular domain
345        decomposition
346    o pkg/diagnostics:
347      - change default missing_value from UNSET_RL to -999.
348    o pkg/layers: improve vectorization of layers_fluxcalc.F
349      - step 1: split loops, make TatU/V 2D arrays. This alone reduces the cpu
350        time spent in this routine by more than a factor of 3 on an NEC-SX8
351      - step 2: replace search algorithm by a bisection algorithm found in
352        Press et al. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This algorithm can be
353        vectorized and finds the correct bin in approx. log2(Nlayers) steps.
354        For now, use this algorithm only for TARGET_NEC_SX defined.
355      - moved the search algorithm into a separate subroutine, that is kept
356        within the same file for automatic inlining.
357      - modified catching potential errors
358    o pkg/ecco:
359      - add compile switches ALLOW_SHALLOW_ALTIMETRY and ALLOW_HIGHLAT_ALTIMETRY.
360    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk :
361      - modifications for ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
362      -- forward_step.F, the_main_loop.F : pass options and arrays for adjoint tapes.
363      -- load_fields_driver.F : add call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D( myTime, myIter, myThid )
364      -- add xx_gentim2d0/1 in ctrl_ad_check_lev1_dir.h checkpoint_lev1_directives.h etc
365      -- use ctrl_swapffields.F (new) instead of exf_SwapFFields.F in ctrl_get_gen.F
366    o model/src:
367      - account for moist thermodynamics in (dry) potential temperature equation;
368        update results of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs (std + aqualev)
369        and cpl_aim+ocn.
370      - also switch to standard compiler (gfortran, was using ifort previously)
371        for fizhi-cs experiments reference output.
372    o pkg/ctrl:
373      - 1st step toward generic time-varying control variable (2D) via CPP option
374        ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
375      - note new namelist ctrl_nml_genarr in data.ctrl
376    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
377      - switch off OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE (both forward and AD code) to use new
378        thsice calling sequence and update "output.icedyn.txt" output file.
379    o pkg/ptracers:
380      - from Ryan A.: code to allow to restart a tracer at regular time interval
381        specifying a reset frequency and a reset-phase (for each tracers).
382    o pkg/thsice:
383      - implement new sequence of calls for thsice+seaice:
384          previously:   ice-Dyn,ice-Advect,ice-Thermo(thsice)
385          new sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect
386      - allows (with temporary CPP option "#define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE"
387        in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to recover old sequence;
388      - update diagnostics for Intermediate State thsice diagnostics: now filled
389        just before advection (instead of just after advection in old sequence);
390      - update output of experiment offline_exf_seaice (standard test);
391      - in global_ocean.cs32x15 exp., postpone output.icedyn.txt update
392        by setting #define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE in CPP_OPTIONS.h
393    o pkg/aim_v23:
394      - use tiled array for aim_CO2 and surface wind speed for export to coupler;
395      - use standard pkg/mdsio routines to read & write CO2 pickup file;
396      - in-line S/R AIM_AIM2DYN_EXCHANGES in aim_do_physics.F;
397      - Implement new sequence of calls for seaice advection (with thsice and
398        seaice diffusion): do ice advection after ice-Thermodynamic (previously
399        was done before); change aim_do_physics.F (split the bi,bj loops block);
400      - use same CPP option (OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE) to recover old sequence;
401    o pkg/thsice:
402      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
403        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
404    
405    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
406    o pkg/seaice:
407      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
408        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
409      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
410      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
411        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
412      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
413        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
414        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
415        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
416    o pkg/mdsio:
417      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
418        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
419        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
420        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
421    o pkg/exf & thsice:
422      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
423        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
424    o verification/cfc_example:
425      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
426        illustrate how to use it).
427    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
428      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
429        files to only one time-record.
430      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
431        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
432        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
433        surf-current=0.2m/s.
434      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
435        initial conditions).
436    o verification/cfc_example:
437      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
438        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
439        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
440    o pkg/layers:
441      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
442      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
443    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
444      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
445        anywhere else).
446    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
447      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
448      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
449    o model/src:
450      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
451        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
452    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
453      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
454        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
455        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
456        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
457        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
458        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
459        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
460      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
461        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
462        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
463        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
464        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
465        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
466    o pkg/cheapaml:
467      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
468    o pkg/seaice:
469      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
470        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
471    o model/src:
472      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
473        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
474        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
475    o pkg/cheapaml:
476      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
477        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
478      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
479        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
480      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
481      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
482        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
483    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
484      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
485    o pkg/seaice:
486      - remove legacy branch code.
487      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
488    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
489      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
490        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
491    o pkg/cheapaml:
492      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
493        to load new forcing fields.
494      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
495      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
496        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
497    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
498      - add thermodynamics only test.
499    o verification/cheapAML_box:
500      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
501        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
502      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
503        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
504    
505    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
506    o pkg/cheapaml:
507      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
508      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
509        and fix the AB-2 restart.
510    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
511      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
512      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
513      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
514      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
515    o pkg/seaice:
516      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
517        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
518        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
519        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
520    o model/src:
521      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
522        (in case of a poor convergence).
523    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
524      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
525        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
526        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
527        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
528      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
529        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
530        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
531        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
532    o verification/seaice_obcs:
533      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
534        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
535    o model/src:
536      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
537    o pkg/seaice:
538      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
539        cleaning up the code
540      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
541        second argument
542      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
543        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
544      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
545    o pkg/aim_v23:
546      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
547    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
548      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
549        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
550        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
551            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
552      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
553        default: not compiled and not used.
554    o pkg/seaice:
555      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
556        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
557        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
558      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
559      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
560      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
561    o verification:
562      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
563        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
564        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
565        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
566        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
567      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
568    o pkg/exf:
569      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
570    o verification:
571      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
572        to test pkg/cheapaml.
573    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
574      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
575    o pkg/seaice:
576      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
577      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
578    o eesupp/src:
579       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
580    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
581       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
582         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
583       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
584         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
585         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
586         undocumented ifdefs
587       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
588    o tools/genmake2:
589      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
590        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
591    
592    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
593    o pkg/autodiff:
594      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
595        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
596        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
597        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
598        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
599    o pkg/obcs:
600      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
601        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
602    o pkg/seaice:
603      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
604        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
605      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
606    o pkg/aim_v23:
607      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
608    o pkg/shap_filt:
609      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
610        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
611    o model/src:
612      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
613        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
614      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
615        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
616        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
617        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
618    o pkg/seaice:
619      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
620        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
621        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
622        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
623        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
624      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
625      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
626        + introduce global field etaZ
627        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
628          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
629        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
630          seaice_preconditioner
631      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
632      - seaice_preconditioner:
633        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
634        + adjust printing of residuals
635      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
636        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
637          seaice_init_fixed.F)
638        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
639        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
640          interval to STDOUT
641      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
642        some operations
643      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
644        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
645        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
646      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
647        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
648    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
649      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
650      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
651    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
652    o pkg/autodiff
653      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
654        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
655        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
656    o pkg/seaice
657      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
658        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
659        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
660        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
661        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
662        code is not complete yet!!
663      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
664    o verification (using seaice):
665      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
666        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
667      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
668      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
669        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
670    o pkg/exf:
671      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
672        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
673        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
674    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
675      - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
676        this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
677    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
678      - remove ALLOW_LAYERS_OUTPUT ; fix snap-shot and time-ave output ;
679      - snap-shot extended to all type of layers (not just the 1rst type);
680      - remove layers variables when corresponding CPP option is undef.
681    o pkg/layers:
682      - rename pkg/layers variable and add new output (layer exist & un-weighted
683        velocity in layer)
684    o pkg/seaice:
685      - simplify (?) ocean-drag coefficent computations by using
686        the same routine in all three solvers (saves some code lines)
687      - remove global fields DRAGA and DRAGS from C-grid code and
688        declare them locally in lsr.F (the only place where they are
689        still used)
690      - update AD output of lab_sea.evp (very sensitive anyway).
691    o pkg/seaice: add Jacobian-free Newton Krylov solver for ice dynamics
692      (Lemieux et al. 2010, 2012). Turn on with the usual SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK
693      and SEAICEuseJFNK=.true. A few things to note:
694      - involves a FGMRES, that is parallel but very inefficient,
695        because of many scalar products (global sums) in the Gram-Schmidt
696        orthogonalization method. Needs to be replaced. Original code
697        from J.-F. Lemieux
698      - preconditioner for FGMRES is a stripped down version of LSOR
699      - SOLV_MAX_ITERS is now used for LSOR as a solver and as a
700        preconditioner. For the preconditioner, the default is set to 10.
701      - Jacobian times vector is computed with finite differences
702      - marginally related to JFNK-solver: add a smooth regularization for
703        zeta with tanh that will improve convergence (Lemieux and Tremblay,
704        2009) for any implicit solver (not implemented for EVP because EVP
705        does not need this regularization in the first place). Define
706        SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to use.
707    o eesupp/src:
708      - check in genmake2 that intrinsic S/R flush is available.
709      - add S/R to flush IO unit (if intrinsic S/R flush is available)
710      - flush standard & error msg unit before MPI termination
711      - if debugMode, flush IO unit after printing msg
712    o pkg/ctrl:
713      - ctrl_unpack.F, ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL code: fix missing argument in call
714        to ctrl_set_unpack_xyz.
715    
716    checkpoint64 (2012/10/09)
717    o pkg/shelfice
718      - in mom_fluxform.F, mom_vecinv.F:
719        CALL SHELFICE_V_DRAG(bi,bj,k,vFld,KE,KappaRU,vF,myThid)
720        Bug fix KappaRU -> KappaRV
721        does not change verification/isomip but may change other setups
722        (presumably constant KappaRU=KappaRV)
723      - fix diagnostics SHIU/Vdrag (thanks to Tom Millgate)
724    o pkg/obcs:
725      - fixed some indexing bugs in obcs_seaice_sponge.F
726      - added obcs relaxation subroutines for HSALT and HSNOW
727      - changes verification/seaice_obcs/results/obcs_seaice_sponge.F
728  o pkg/seaice:  o pkg/seaice:
729    - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,    - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,
730      default is off for now.      default is off for now.
