# Line 5  $Name$ Line 5  $Name$
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7  o pkg/seaice:  o pkg/seaice:
8      - rename recently introduced parameters from (wrong name) AB to
9        BDF (backward difference time discretisation)
10      - retire runtime parameters SEAICEuseAB2, SEAICE_abEps
11    o tools/adjoint_options:
12      - remove setting of "OPENAD=true" (now set by command line "genmake2 -oad")
13    
14    checkpoint64t (2014/02/01)
15    o pkg/thsice
16      - corrected store directive fixes thsice adjoint gradient checks
17    o genmake2 & testreport:
18      - add genmake2 option "-oad" to generate a Makefile for OpenAD built and
19        in this case, use tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad as default AD optfile.
20        Update testreport accordingly. No need to set "export OPENAD=true"
21        in adjoint_options/adjoint_oad anymore (will be removed later).
22    o pkg/shelfice:
23      - put T & S shelfice forcing into model surfaceForcing_T,_S (for now,
24        only if SHELFICEboundaryLayer=F); Change model/src/external_forcing.F
25        so that surface forcing applies to k=kSurf if using pkg/shelfice.
26    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk, pkg/ecco:
27      - Changes to make GENARR more modular (i.e. invisible if not used)
28    o model/src/temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F
29      - re-include store directives that were removed on Dec 27th.
30    o model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
31      - add storage directives for EmPmR and PmEpR to avoid recomputation of
32        seaice_model in the adjoint that is problematic when seaice_model is
33        turned off in the adjoint. The resolved issue dated back to July when
34        EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF call was moved.
35        Update global_ocean.cs32x15/*/output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt accordingly.
36    o pkg/exf/exf_check.F
37      - fix a small bug again (originally found by Wentao Liu, now found again)
38      - streamline error output
39    o pkg/streamice and aim_v23:
40      - replace a few "_EXCH_XY_RL (" with "_EXCH_XY_RL(", so that
41        Apple's /usr/bin/cpp knows what to do:
42        Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
43        Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
44    
45    checkpoint64s (2014/01/05)
46    o tools/adjoint_options:
47      - switch to fastopt.net TAF server (instead of default fastopt.de) for
48        AD optfiles adjoint_diva & adjoint_f95 (similar to adjoint_default).
49    o model/src:
50      - remove some unnecessary TAF storage directives in forward_step.F and
51        in dynamics.F (note: not always removed by TAF, e.g., double storage
52        of kappaRU,kappaRV in former version of dynamics.F).
53    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
54      - call directly GAD_IMPLICIT_R & IMPLDIFF + DWNSLP_APPLY from temp_integrate.F
55        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (instead of from thermodynamics.F)
56        and remove ptracers_dwnslp_apply.F & ptracers_implicit.F
57      - call MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP for each tracer (in ptracers_integrate.F)
58      - add fZon & fMer as output argument of S/R GAD_CALC_RHS.
59      - update TAF AD-output of experiments global_ocean.90x40x15 (13 for AD-grad).
60    o useSingleCpuInput separates single-CPU input from single-CPU output;
61        for now only implemented for in exf_interp_read.F
62    o verification/advect_xy:
63      - fix missing EXCH call in local version of ini_salt.F and update output.
64    o momentum diagnostics:
65      - fix which deltaT is used in Total-Tendency diagnostics.
66      - fix typo in diagnostics for momentum tendency from AB.
67    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: fix an initialisation bug for the
68        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA option that lead to NaNs on a NEC-SX8
69    
70    checkpoint64r (2013/12/08)
71    o verification/*/results:
72      - Update reference output of experiments that were passing with just 13 digits
73         (make it easier to detect future changes in results)
74    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
75      - move calls to GAD_ADVECTION (Multi-Dim advection) from thermodynamics.F to
76        inside temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F and from ptracers_advection.F
77        to inside ptracers_integrate.F ; remove ptracers_advection.F
78    o coupling interface pkgs:
79        [atm_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf & atm_ocn_coupler]
80      - change the config check to test the agreement of Ocean Depth
81        with ATM land/sea mask (instead of ATM orography);
82      - send to coupler the number of coupler time-steps to do for this run:
83        this allows to check for consistency and don't need anymore to be
84        specified in parameter file "data";
85      in coupler:
86      - check consistency of RunOff map versus Ocean Depth and ATM land/sea mask.
87      - improve report to log-file of config setting (pass log-file unit to few S/R)
88    o pkg/compon_communic:
89      - add coupling send/receive for non-tiled integer vector;
90      - add S/R to check and stop if any proc has an error (similar to
91        eesupp/src/stop_if_error.F but single thread and across Comm_World).
92    o pkg/exch2:
93      - in exch2*_get_rx[1,2]: use new list "W2_tileIndex" to replace search
94        through list of all tiles my proc owns.
95    o model/src:
96      - AUTODIFF only: in calc_adv_flow.F, recompute rTransKp (instead of copying
97        from rTrans) to simplify dependencies (no need to store rTrans anymore in
98        calling S/R); this affects AD results at machine truncation level:
99        update AD-output (TAF) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
100        bottom_ctrl_5x5 & obcs_ctrl (12 digits for AD grad, same FWD grad).
101    o tools/build_options:
102      - simplify Warnings options (-ieee & -devel cases) in linux_amd64_gfortran
103    o coupling interface pkgs:
104        [compon_communic, atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf]
105      - move declaration of local array "ibuf" out of header file "CPLR_SIG.h"
106        to each S/R that needs it; remove un-used variables.
107      - change component tile registration (cpl_register.F in both compon_interf
108        and mitcomponent_tile_register.F) to pass the full list of tiles
109        information (including bi,bj) in 1 vector (instead of in a bi,bj matrix).
110      - with pkg/exch2: adopt the same convention used for I/O to define mapping
111        towards coupler global array (unless W2_useE2ioLayOut=F):
112         a) can now use different tiling between atm & ocn comp.
113         b) no needs to modify the run-Off map when changing tiling (was needed
114            even if using the same tiling between atm & ocn).
115         c) will allow to run with blank-tiles in 1 component (e.g., for ocean
116            full land tiles); not yet tested.
117      - check for valid mapping from comp. tile to coupler global array
118      - improve report of tile registration results to log file.
119    o pkg/exch2:
120      - in eesupp/src/eeboot.F: move call to W2_EEBOOT before Coupler
121        tile-registration (CPL_REGISTER);
122      - activate (un-comment) definition and setting of "W2_tileIndex" list to
123        store the local bi,bj indices of each tile;
124      - also print bi,bj in local report to log file;
125      - fix pkg/debug/debug_cs_corner_uv.F for the case nSy > 1 (left from
126        Jun 2009 modif of pkg/exch2).
127    o testing on baudelaire:
128      - run 2 tests at a time: no significant slow down (since enough cpu) and
129        get the full set of test done earlier
130      - switch the ifort test to "-devel" ; run the OpenAD test everyday.
131    o model/src/thermodynamics.F and routines called from it:
132      - pkg/gmredi: gmredi_residual_flow.F (replacing gmredi_calc_uvflow.F &
133        gmredi_calc_wflow.F) to update eulerian velocity (input) into residual
134        velocity (outp) by adding bolus velocity.
135      - model/src: calc_adv_flow.F (replacing calc_common_factors.F) to compute
136        mass transport from velocity + lateral grid cell area
137      - rename calc_gt.F to temp_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
138      - rename calc_gs.F to salt_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
139     in thermodynamics.F
140      - remove k from thermodynamics.F and move it to temp_integrate.F
141        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (now done inside the tracer
142        loop).
143      - compute locally (in thermodynamics.F) 3-D velocity field that is used to
144        advect tracers; pass it as argument to GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
145        PTRACERS_ADVECTION, TEMP_INTEGRATE, SALT_INTEGRATE, PTRACERS_INTEGRATE,
146        GAD_IMPLICIT_R and PTRACERS_IMPLICIT
147      - update AD-output (TAF & OAD) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
148        global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and
149        tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ TLM output).
150    o tools/OAD_support and (verification/*/) code_oad:
151      - OAD_support/cb2mGetModules.csh: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in header file to
152        module conversion ; remove unneeded CPP_EEOPTIONS.h.
153      - code_oad/CPP_OPTIONS.h: remove PACKAGES_CONFIG.h and use a more standard
154        version (closer to model/inc/CPP_OPTIONS.h).
155    o model/src:
156      - remove parameter "useOldFreezing" from PARAMS.h and push it to the
157        retired list of parameters (routine FREEZE has been replace by surface
158        freezing (10.yrs ago) and by pkg/frazil (interior freezing).
159    o pkg/gmredi:
160      - add option (GM_CALC_TRANSP_FROM_VEL) to compute transport directly from
161        velocity (same scheme but affects machine truncation) for GM_AdvForm.
162      - update output of FWD experiments: front_relax.bvp,
163        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp, global_ocean.cs32x15 and ideal_2D_oce.
164    
165    checkpoint64q (2013/11/17)
166    o verification:
167      - generate new output on baudelaire (gfortran, -ieee) for OpenAD experiments
168        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and global_ocean.90x40x15.
169      - generate new output (growth & melt) for seaice_itd experiment after
170        updating the input pickup_seaice files (previously wrong).
171    o pkg/cost:
172      - define a "final cost function" for each tile, and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
173        (instead of _GLOBAL_SUM_RL) to get the final cost from all procs & threads:
174        o this fixes global-sum value if multi-threads (since GLOBAL_SUM_RL
175          cannot be applied to var in common block).
176        o allows to get results independent of tile-per-proc setting (if using
177          slower GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV option).
178      - update accordingly: seaice_cost_final.F, shelfice_cost_final.F,
179        thsice_cost_final.F and ecco_cost_final.F (this one affects lab_sea
180        forward gradients: update output).
181      - update */code_oad/externalDummies.F by adding dummy GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
182        S/R and, for most exp., also comment out GLOBAL_SUM_R8.
183    o pkg/mom_common:
184      - move to pkg/mom_common and model/src (previously in tutorial_deep_convection
185        code) 2nd version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code interface: strain and
186        viscosity are locally declared in dynmics.F and pass as argument to CALC_GW;
187        ensure that all field value that are used are set.
188    o tutorial_deep_convection (smag3d):
189      - add missing scaling in mom_calc_smag_3d.F;
190      - set smag3D_coeff in input.smag3d such that results do not change.
191    o pkg/dic:
192      - change dic_cost.F to compute cost on each tile first and then apply
193        GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL: this affects forward gradient of AD experiments
194        tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo; update output.
195      - remove kLev argument and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL in tracer_meanarea.
196    o eesupp/src & pkg/mdsio:
197      - remove gather/scatter_vector.F (from eesupp) and mdsio_read/writevector.F
198        (from pkg/mdsio) since they are no longer used for tape IO.
199      - move simple C subroutine "setdir.c" from pkg/compon_communic to eesupp/src
200        (+ keep a copy in pkg/atm_ocn_coupler).
201    o verification/isomip:
202      - split domain in 8 squared tiles (instead of just 2) for FWD, AD & OAD tests.
203    o tools/build_options:
204      - optfile linux_amd64_ifort11, fast (no ieee) case:
205        to get a working restart for all experiments, add "-fp-model source"
206        to FOPTIM (also remove "-opt-streaming-stores auto" <- this is the default).
207    
208    checkpoint64p (2013/10/20)
209    o pkg/autodiff:
210      - adread_adwrite.F: when type and length do not match ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
211        criteria, return to simple (default) tape IO format.
212    o pkg/mdsio (+ eesupp/src):
213      - rewrite/simplify tape-IO S/R (new S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_TAPE replace
214        previous MDSREAD/WRITEVECTOR) with 2 array argument from each type (R4/R8);
215      - fix globalFile and singleCpuIO options using simpler global mapping.
216      - new pairs of scatter/gather vector S/R (one for each type, generated from
217        template) corresponding to simpler global mapping.
218      - adread_write.F: switch to new S/R (but leave old calls commented) and write
219        to globalFile when parameter globalFiles is set to True.
220      - switch on useSingleCpuIO in AD experiments: global_ocean.90x40x15 & isomip.
221    o pkg/autodiff:
222      - adread_adwrite.F: add a hack for RS arrays (when RS=real*4);
223        with ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO defined, since corresponding (real*4) is
224        missing, just add a STOP if array type do not match.
225    o pkg/exf:
226      - to allow to use seaice-fraction from pkg/exf in other pkgs than pkg/seaice:
227         rename CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX to EXF_SEAICE_FRACTION
228         and rename array obsSIce to exf_iceFraction.
229    o tutorial_deep_convection:
230      - add 1rst version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code (from Louis-Philippe),
231        for now all in this exp. code dir.
232      - add secondary test using Smag-3D viscosity (keep very low backgroud visc for
233        testing) and flux-limter advection scheme for Temp. (no explicit diffusion).
234    o eesupp/src:
235      - added SINGLE_DISK_IO option because reading of parameter files on
236        very large number of processors did not work with existing set-up
237    
238    checkpoint64o (2013/09/25)
239    o pkg/atm_phys & atm_compon_interf:
240      - allows for coupling of gray-atmosphere (atm_phys) with ocean.
241    o tools/build_options:
242      - switch from "-fPIC" to "-mcmodel=medium" in optfiles: linux_amd64_gfortran
243        & linux_amd64_ifort11 and in linux_amd64_g77 & linux_amd64_open64 also
244        remove CPP setting (was identical to genmake2 default).
245    o pkg/gmredi & model/src: Some updating and work done on the residual model.
246      - created new file model/src/calc_eddy_stress.F to calculate the eddy stress.
247      - fixed up the calculation of the eddy stress and how it is added to the
248        external forcing via taueddy_external_forcing.F
249      - at the moment, it is very experimental and only works with the variable eddy
250        diffusivity calculated in gmredi_k3d.F
251    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: add a check to catch the case of specifying
252        lw/swfluxfile instead of lw/swdownfile in data.exf together with pkg/seaice
253    o testreport (& tools/do_tst_2+2):
254      - for MPI test, set default COMMAND to 'mpirun -v -np TR_NPROC ./{executable}'
255    o tools/build_options: linux_amd64_gfortran & linux_amd64_ifort11:
256      - remove CPP='cpp -traditional -P' (this is genmake2 default)
257      - add switch (for big setups) to use 'medium' memory-model (but leave it
258        commented out for now). Note: needed with FC 19 to compile big setups.
259    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
260      - regroup per field origin (model & pkgs) the coupling storage routines
261         (which accumalate in time each coupling field)
262      - move bi,bj loops inside atm_store_my_data.F and store also wind-stress;
263        update accordingly + simplify aim_do_physics.F
264    
265    checkpoint64n (2013/08/26)
266    o pkg/bbl:
267      - update formulation to reduce dispersion of tracer properties in bbl
268      - replaced horizontal and vertical transport parameters with velocities
269      - changes results for verification/global_with_exf.yearly
270    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
271      - change to matrix construction; update both Fwd & AD output.
272    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
273      - OpenAD test: switch to vector-invariant momentum since fluxform with
274        rStar causes problems with OpenAD; update output.
275    o tools:
276      - genmake2: define a common prefix for all temp-file names ; move them
277        to local /tmp disk (but would be easy to move them back);
278      - xmakedepend: apply the same switch for temp-files.
279    o pkg/offline:
280      - changes for use with rStar (NLFS): assume that we continue to provide
281        UVELMASS/hFacW_ini & VVELMASS/hFacS_ini (hFacWi,S_ini as written in grid
282        output files) and apply r* scaling at each time-step (function of the time
283        varying Eta field); use normal pickup files (needed for restart with NLFS).
284    o adjoint with OpenAD:
285      - move OpenAD-specific files from verification/OpenAD/code_oad_all to a new
286        package openad.  This package has to be compiled for all runs with OpenAD
287        instead of specifying code_oad_all as a modification directory.
288      - link the fortran templates from tools/OAD_support to the build directory
289        for preprocessing to avoid conflicts between different setups compiled
290        simultaneously and simplify cleanup.
291    o pkg/exf:
292      - in exf_getforcing.F: comment out most of the EXCH calls (fields used by
293        main model or other pkgs are exchanged in EXF_MAPFIELDS).
294    o model/src:
295      - do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F: skip EXCH calls when using pkg/offline
296        (similar to do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F).
297    o tools/genmake2:
298      - remove TAF output src code just before calling staf (when not doing a fresh
299        built, will stop if things go wrong with staf).
300      - fix target "adobj" (left from TAF version-2 transition)
301    o pkg/diagnostics:
302      - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;
303        this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check
304        when adding diag to the list) to also check any DIAGNOSTICS_[]FILL* call.
305        New S/R to print error message and stop when pkgStatus is not right.
306      - to try: add a warning when "data.diagnostics" exist but useDiagnostics=F.
307    
308    checkpoint64m (2013/08/13)
309    o model/inc:
310      - move FCORI_MACROS.h from PARAMS(_MACROS).h to GRID_MACROS.h (left from
311        8 yrs ago modif when Coriolis arrays were moved from PARAMS.h to GRID.h)
312    o pkg/kpp & aim_v23:
313      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
314    o pkg/seaice:
315      - restore (last time on 2011/12/24) ability to compile pkg/seaice with
316        undefined pkg/exf ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_RUNOFF CPP-options.
317      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
318    o eesupp/src:
319      - fix check for overlap-size argument (myOLn.GT.MAX_OLY_EXCH)
320        in exch1_rx[_ad].template (thanks to Francois Lefeuvre report).
321    o switch to TAF version-2:
322      - add flow directives to "freeze" naming convention for ad-routines that
323        are used in I/O routines of adjoint state and associated common blocks
324        that are used in adcommon.h (backward compatible with version-1)
325      - update all ad-optfiles (in tools/adjoint_options + few local to some
326        verification exp) to switch to latest TAF version (currently 2.5.5);
327        merge "*_mpi" adoptfiles into the corresponding non-mpi (but commented
328        out except for diva).
329      - the major change with TAF version-2 is that both the differentiated
330        routines and the forward routines (new) are returned as part of the TAF
331        output source code. Update genmake2 accordingly.
332      - new output for AD experiment tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (better AD gradient
333        with version-2 when compared to TLM or FWD gradient); other experiments
334        output show minor changes (machine truncation level); update the few AD &
335        TLM output with 12 matching digits only (some prior to version-2 switch).
336    
337    checkpoint64l (2013/08/05)
338    o model/src:
339      - in dynamics.F, skip the call to CALC_VISCOSITY if momViscosity=F
340      - main_do_loop.F: no longer includes additional (AUTODIFF) header files
341        when using TAF but only if using OpenAD.
342    o pkg/mom_common+fluxform+vecinv:
343      - always set horiz. viscosity arrays to background value before calling
344        MOM_CALC_VISC (in MOM_FLUXFORM & MOM_VECINV) and call S/R MOM_CALC_VISC
345        only when using variable horiz. viscosity (useVariableVisc=T);
346      - simplify mom_vecinv.F (only 1 block for momViscosity).
347    o pkg/mom_common: variable horiz. viscosity in NH code
348      - move horiz-viscosity 3-D arrays viscAh_W & viscA4_W (used in calc_gw.F)
349        from model/inc/NH_VARS.h to pkg/mom_common/MOM_VISC.h
350      - store in common block (in MOM_VISC.h) logical parameters: useHarmonicVisc,
351        useBiharmonicVisc & useVariableVisc.
352      - fix old bug (already in 1rst implementation of variable horizontal viscosity
353        in calc_gw.F, version 1.27, 2006/06/20):
354        horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity in gW was missing when wiscA4W=0
355        even if variable bi-harmonic viscosity (e.g., viscA4Grid) was non-zero.
356      - change background horiz viscosity in vertical momentum (gW) to always be
357        viscAhW,viscA4W (instead of switching to viscAhD, viscA4D when using
358        any type of variable viscosity, e.g., viscAh/4Grid)
359      - change default value of viscAhW,viscA4W to viscAhD,viscA4D (instead of
360        viscAh,viscA4) which default to viscAh,viscA4 :  this avoid missing
361        horiz. viscosity in W eq when just setting viscAhD/Z,viscA4D/Z (since
362        default viscAh,viscA4 is zero).
363    o model/src:
364      - extend length of drC & recip_drC from Nr to Nr+1.
365    o Divided Adjoint (DIVA) with MPI:
366      - genmake2: do not create local ./mpi_headers dir when no file to copy into.
367      - remove option ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT_MPI (replaced by ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT
368        and ALLOW_USE_MPI) from model/src code and from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h.
369    
370    checkpoint64k (2013/07/23)
371    o tools/OAD_support:
372      - avoid the need for file "oadtempflile" in insertTemplateDir.bash
373        and remove it from genmake2.
374    o tools/build_options:
375      - remove MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC setting (no longer used) and comment out
376        MPI_HEADER_FILES list (let genmake2 find the missing headers)
377    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
378      - change to driving stress formulation; update both Fwd & AD output.
379    o tools/genmake2 and Divided Adjoint with MPI:
380      - remove default setting of MPIINCLUDEDIR from $MPIHOME (always been broken);
381      - only create local ./mpi_headers dir if using MPI and MPIINCLUDEDIR is set;
382      - add new variable (LOCAL_MPI_HEADERS, replace MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC) in
383        Makefile, which is set by genmake2, and check which mpi-headers are needed.
384        Note: need to update adjoint_options/adjoint_diva_mpi accordingly.
385      - update target "CLEAN" (to also remove ./mpi_headers/ dir).
386    o testreport:
387      - changes for Divided Adjoint Run: when file "run_ADM_DIVA" is present,
388        perform additional runs (number of additional runs is "add_DIVA_runs" taken
389        from file run_ADM_DIVA ; should match "nchklev_3" in file "code_ad/tamc.h").
390    o verification/lab_sea (AD test):
391      - change to test Divided Adjoint Run in this set-up (both standard AD test
392        and 2 secondary AD test: noseaice + noseaicedyn); drop the evp AD test.
393    o pkg atm_ & ocn_compon_interf:
394      - remove cpl_earlyExpImpCall=F option (was mainly a hack added for the old
395        staggerTimeStep implementation) and disable (retired) corresponding
396        parameter.
397    o pkg/offline:
398      - comment out unused field-array: ICEM, ConvectCount, hflx[01], icem[01];
399      - add S/R OFFLINE_CHECK to print offline parameter summary
400        and stop if loading a file that is not used;
401      - enable to calculate GMRedi tensor, KPP mixing and convective index
402        when the corresponding file(s) is/are not specified (but pkg is used).
403      - comment out resetting of monitorFreq (to endTime) since it still useful
404        for monitoring CFL numbers and checking offline fields.
405    o OpenAD:
406      - do not define OAD_DEBUG (in tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad) to get
407        smaller standard output) and generate new (smaller) output (on baudelaire
408        using gfortran with -ieee) for exp. tutorial_tracer_adjsens
409    o model/src:
410      - call EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF outside bi,bj loops (in do_oceanic_phys.F),
411        (where external_forcing_adjust was called) and change list of arguments;
412      - merge external_forcing_adjust.F into external_forcing_surf.F
413      - put surface relaxation of SST & SSS in new S/R (forcing_surf_relax.F)
414        which also contains balancing surface relaxation (ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX,
415        previously in file "balance_relax.F", now removed); remove corresponding
416        arrays in FFIELDS.h.
417      - EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF is now called when using pkg/offline; implement
418        a hack for getting back surfaceForcingS (loaded from file) when using
419        ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (pkg/dic, in DIC_OPTIONS.h) in offline set-up.
420      - update output of AD test experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix
421        (was getting only 11 digits for AD-grad, due to different truncation
422         error in AD code).
423    
424    checkpoint64j (2013/07/04)
425    o pkg/offline:
426      - to enable the use of other features with pkg offline (e.g., obcs),
427        also call S/R DO_OCEANIC_PHYS in offline run - more modifs to come.
428      - comment out "allowFreezing" (now active) in 2 offline testing exp.
429    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
430      - fix sign and make compatible with temp_EvPrRn .NE. UNSET_RL
431      - ahdded RUNOFTEMP test to verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
432      - changes verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/results/output.seaice.txt
433    o pkg/atm_phys:
434      - allows to add some damping on uVel,vVel (strength only function of k).
435    o verification, ad-tests:
436      - reduce length of the simulation for AD test: global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice,
437        global_ocean_ebm and offline_exf_seaice.thsice.
438    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
439      - found a bug in s/r pkg/streamice/streamice_advect_thickness which caused
440        flux input boundary conditions to be ignored; a fix for this bug changed
441        verification results for forward test.
442      - add adjoint test.
443    o pkg/ptracers:
444      - allow to restart without SOM pickup (resetting SOM to zero).
445    o pkg/gmredi:
446      - New parameterisation for the calculation of K and (GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY) added.
447      - It uses mixing length theory and suppression by steering level effects to
448        calculate a diffusivity used in the Redi tensor (see Bates et al., submitted
449        to JPO, for more details).
450      - It also uses the diffusivity to calculate an eddy induced streamfunction
451        based on a PV closure (rather than a buoyancy closure as in GM).
452      - New files added to pkg/gmredi:
453        gmredi_k3d.F calculates the diffusivity for the Redi tensor and the eddy
454          induced overturning streamfunction (called from gmredi_calc_tensor)
455        gmredi_calc_eigs.F calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors required
456          for use in gmredi_k3d
457        gmredi_calc_urms.F calculates the the rms eddy velocity used to calculate
458          the eddy diffusivity
459    
460    checkpoint64i (2013/06/18)
461    o pkg/cheapaml:
462      - take src files from MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/offline_cheapaml/code
463        that enable the use of seaice (pkg/thsice thermo & pkg/seaice dynamics)
464        with pkg/cheapaml.
465    o utils/python: add subpackage for cubed sphere function, first example is
466        simple cs.pcol to plot 2D fields on a map
467    o pkg/streamice:
468      - This is a new package in MITgcm, which solves dynamic equations for ice
469         sheets and ice streams
470      - At the moment it is independent of atmosphere/ocean dynamics, or any
471        other physical packages in MITgcm, even ShelfIce (although it is anticipat-
472        ed that this will change)
473      - There is a new verification exercise that tests it, halfpipe_streamice,
474        evolves a 40x80 km ice stream/ice shelf (at coarse resolution) in a
475        rectangular embayment
476      - halfpipe_streamice is forward-only for now, will have TAF test soon
477      - for questions, email dgoldber@mit.edu
478    o pkg/thsice:
479      - fix filling of snow-precip diagnostic (SIsnwPrc) (left from the removing
480        of snowPrc from common bloc, on May 2nd, thsice_step_fwd.F revision 1.40);
481      - remove diagnostics 'SI_FrcFx' ( now identical to 'SI_Fract' with new
482         call sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect );
483      - allow precip from pkg/cheapaml to make snow over seaice.
484    o pkg/cfc:
485      - move in separated header file (CFC_ATMOS.h) time-serie arrays of Atmos CFC
486      - remove atmos CFC 2-D arrays from common bloc (now local variables)
487      - change some hard-coded constant to run time parameter for reading and
488        and interpolating atmospheric CFC ; keep same default as previously.
489      - more flexible reading of Atmos CFC (number of records no longer hard-coded)
490      - put arguments in standard order: myTime, myIter, myThid
491      - use standard S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL for time interpolation of
492        atmospheric CFC ; fix for the case myIter < PTRACERS_iter0.
493      - fix calculation of surf tendencys for partial-cell and/or Non-Lin Free-Surf
494      - new routine to print summary of CFC params and check for consistency.
495    o pkg/seaice: add uice/vice to the parameter list of s/r seaice_advdiff,
496      similar to thsice_advdiff.
497      Note that for the B-grid case the routine parameters uc/vc are overwritten.
498    o pkg/cfc:
499      - change time interpolation for atmospheric CFC-11 (now same as for CFC-12);
500        update output (CFC-11) of experiment cfc_example and tutorial_cfc_offline.
501      - fix interpolation of atmphspheric CFC between Sorthern and Northern
502        hemisphere value.
503    o pkg/seaice:
504      - allow to use seaice dynamics without pkg/exf (e.g., using pkg/cheapaml)
505    o pkg/seaice: add Adams-Bashforth2 time discretization for ice dynamics;
506                  so far only for JFNK-solver, turn on with SEAICEuseAB2 = .TRUE.
507      - requires an additional time level that is stored in the pickup
508      - you can start with AB2 from a pickup without this time level with
509        pickupStrictlyMatch = .false.
510    
511    checkpoint64h (2013/05/26)
512    o pkg/cheapaml:
513      - replace one ()**.5 with SQRT + use temp var "cdu = tau/Du" (coare3_flux);
514        affect machine truncation (but exp cheapAML_box still pass with 13 digits).
515      - consistent treatment of uWind,vWind location: assume everywhere in
516        pkg/cheapaml that they are on C-grid (@ uVel,vVel location)
517        (Note: was already the case for Tair,Qair advection);
518        add option (INCONSISTENT_WIND_LOCATION) to recover old results.
519      - compute diabatic forcing only in the interior (excluding overlap regions)
520      - fill in array "Qsw" (for short-wave heating);
521      - add diagnostic for precip ; fill-in diagnostics for cheapAML state vars
522        before any update (consistent with MITgcm state var diagnostics);
523      - cheapaml_fields_load.F & cheapaml_init_varia.F : only fill outer edges if
524        non periodic ; + adjusted for uWind,vWind (C-grid).
525    o pkg/seaice:
526      - remove dependence of pkg/seaice versus pkg/exf (file: pkg/pkg_depend) and
527        add explicitly pkg/exf in experiments that currently use pkg/seaice.
528      - allows to compile pkg/seaice without pkg/exf.
529    o tools/OAD_support:
530      - use a local copy (ourRWCPinBd) to ensure index ourRWCP stays within bounds
531        of array "ourStepOf" in function rvNextAction (revolve.F90).
532    o pkg/aim_compon_interf renamed to pkg/atm_compon_interf
533      - change pkg name (to be used with other atmospheric physics pkg)
534        but by-pass CVS when making the new pkg so that we keep the CVS history.
535    o pkg/offline:
536      - call OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD from pkg/offline/offline_init_varia.F
537        (previously called from pkg/dic_surfforcing_init.F)
538    o model/src:
539      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_init_variables.F, using
540        standard order, except for:
541         DIAGNOSTICS_INIT_VARIA and OFFLINE_INIT_VARIA (called @ the top),
542         CTRL_MAP_INI and OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES (called @ the bottom)
543    o new pkg: atm_phys
544      - add entry point and source code (previously in contrib
545          verification_other/atm_gray/code_gray/) for new pkg "atm_phys"
546        (atmospheric physics pkg from P. O'Gorman and T. Schneider, JCl, 2008).
547      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_readparms.F,
548         packages_init_fixed.F and packages_write_pickup.F
549        (but skip packages_init_variables.F because of TAF issues).
550      - update contrib/*/atm_gray/ experiment.
551    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
552      - simplify and fix the writing of pickup-files for ITD case
553    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
554      - introduce floe size dependent lateral melt for ITD case;
555      - cleaning (avoid division by zero, change to f77 syntax, remove tabs)
556      - update seaice_itd experiment main output.
557    o pkg/thsice:
558      - remove snowPrc from common block THSICE_FLUX, in THSICE_VARS.h and
559        declared it locally (without bi,bj) in thsice_main.F & aim_do_physics.F;
560        changed accordingly pkg/atm2d.
561    
562    checkpoint64g (2013/05/01)
563    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
564      - if defined,  river and glacier runoff temperature can be read-in from
565        runoftempfile; runoftempfile needs to have same format as runofffile
566    o pkg/thsice (& pkg/bulk_force):
567      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
568        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap (like with pkg/exf).
569      - change computation domain to always be the interior (without overlap).
570      - fix bug (wrong overlap) when using EXF and stressReduction > 0.
571    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
572      - add preliminary OpenAD setup (still has problems)
573    o pkg/seaice:
574      - turn some parameters for choosing the convergence criterion of
575        the inexact Newton method (JFNK) into runtime parameters for convenience
576      - clean up seaice_calc_viscosities.F: remove/retire two options for
577        SEAICetaZmethod (1,2), introduce area weighting for method 3; this changes
578        the results of lab_sea/input because a division has been replaced by
579        a multiplication with the reciprocal (sumNorm)
580      - modify offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk/data.seaice to improve
581        convergence of solver (changes results, of course), and to test some
582        new features
583    o model/src:
584      - remove unused (since Aug 2006) S/R SET_WRITE_GLOBAL_PICKUP and its call.
585      - remove unused forcing field "dQdT" and associated parameter "dQdTFile".
586      - move forcing adjustment (balancing surface forcing) in specific S/R
587        where might also be applied exchanges (if needed) to forcing arrays.
588    o pkg/shelfice:
589      - allow to specify the Ice-Shelf mass per unit area (instead of
590        shelficeLoadAnomaly) and do the conversion from one to the other
591      - move loading from file of shelficeLoadAnomaly from SHELFICE_INIT_VARIA
592        to SHELFICE_INIT_FIXED: (a) avoid some TAF recompution issues and
593        (b) will be loaded in time (before calling INI_PRESSURE) in case it is
594        needed in phi0surf for initial pressure calculation when useDynP_inEos_Zc
595      - update isomip experiment forward output (get machine truncation error
596        from conversion shelficeLoadAnomaly -> shelficeMass -> shelficeLoadAnomaly)
597    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
598      revise data.seaice in input.thermo and input_ad and update results accordingly
599        HO = 0.2, SEAICE_areaLossFormula = 2,
600        SEAICE_growMeltByConv = .TRUE.,
601        SEAICE_doOpenWaterMelt = .TRUE.,
602      Improve consistency with input.thsice and fix the spurious 500m ice corners
603    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
604      - set Energy Reference Level to liq. water @ 0 degC: temp_EvPrRn=0.,
605        in icedyn (thsice+seaice-dyn) test and update output.
606    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
607      - adjust list of tested variables (with testreport) and update
608        standard test output with better slection of monitored fields.
609    o pkg/cd_code:
610      - swtich off Adams-Bashforth on the 1rst iteration. Update output of
611        experiment lab_sea.hb87
612    o tools/genmake2:
613      - change default makedepend from the system default to tools/xmakedepend:
614        When no makedepend is specified, select tools/xmakedepend it the test pass,
615        otherwise select the system default (if exist and pass the test) or
616        try to build cyrus-makedepend ; stop if none of the 3 works.
617    o pkg/exf & pkg/thsice:
618      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
619        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap. Assumes:
620       1) Rain has same temp as Air.
621       2) Snow has no heat capacity (consistent with seaice & thsice pkgs)
622       3) Run-Off comes at the temp of surface water (with same Cp)
623       4) Evap over ocean is released to the Atmos @ surf-temp (=SST); should be
624        put directly into Latent Heat flux & should use water-vapor heat capacity.
625       5) Evap over snow/seaice (pkg/thsice) assumes constant Lf+Lv (consistent
626        with snow having no Cp) => water vapor is released to Atmos @ 0^oC (=ERL).
627    o pkg/seaice: simplify the use of CPP flags in JFNK-related files
628        (compile when SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK is defined)
629    o pkg/thsice:
630      - fix oceanic flux diagnostics & timeave (left from new sequence of calls
631        implementation): move THSICE_AVE call after the advection (called directly
632        from thsice_do_advect.F).
633    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 and OpenAD:
634      New experiment for OpenAD is identical to the one in input_ad except that
635        multiDimAdvection=.FALSE.,
636      There is still an issue with this.
637    o pkg/thsice:
638      - account for ice velocity (ocean relative velocity) in turbulent heat flux
639        at the base of the ice; update output of global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn)
640        and offline_exf_seaice (main test).
641    
642    checkpoint64f (2013/03/31)
643    o verification/OpenAD:
644      - new (smaller, without OAD_DEBUG) output_oadm.txt generated using gfortran.
645    o verification/isomip, pkg/shelfice and OpenAD:
646      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make shelfice package work with OpenAD
647    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
648      - update AD and TLM output after turning off ALLOW_FE (in DIC_OPTIONS.h)
649    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
650      - replace adjoint experiment (now similar to fwd input.thermo/ setup).
651    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens, pkg/ptracers and OpenAD:
652      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make ptracers package work with OpenAD
653    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F:
654       mask the asymmetric contribution of the ice-ocean stress (when
655       the turningAngle is non-zero) over open water to avoid stripes
656       in the EVP-solutions after many EVP-substeps. This does not change
657       the verification experiment (because turningAngle=0 in that experiment),
658       but will affect other EVP solutions with turningAngle.ne.0
659    o verification, AD & TLM output:
660      - new TAF version 2.3.10 (previously 2.3.8) add more parenthesis in multiple
661        additions and multiplications which affect results at machine truncation
662        level. Update few AD output (1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5,
663        lab_sea.noseaicedyn & offline_exf_seaice) and TLM output
664        (1D_ocean_ice_column & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.som81) which had only 12
665        digits of matching.
666    o pkg/seaice:
667       modify lsr-algorithm so that it vectorizes AND converges by using a
668       "zebra" method: split vector loop into two with step size 2; this
669       solves a general convergence problem for the JFNK solver on a vector
670       computer. It has the potential to even improve convergence for
671       non-vector machines, but it does change the results so it is turned
672       off by default. To turn on define CPP-flags SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and
673       SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
674    
675    checkpoint64e (2013/03/05)
676    o pkg/ecco and several verification experiments:
677       Remove special versions of the_model_main.F, the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F
678       from ecco package, and revert to unified routine in model/src/
679       Adjust verification experiments accordingly, especially gloal_oce_llc90
680       Should conclude long-standing work by Gael to reconsile the_main_loop with
681       ECCO and will enable OpenAD's revolve loop in ECCO setup.
682    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
683      - implement compressible flow method for multi-dim advection (similar to
684        gad_som_advect.F); add new option "GAD_MULTIDIM_COMPRESSIBLE" (since
685        TAF generates many recomputations) to use it; no yet coded with implicit
686        vertical advection.
687      - change experiment advect_cs (new output) and advect_xy (same output)
688        to test compressible flow multi-dim advection.
689    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
690      - fix SOM advection for unusual cases (linear Free-Surf in r*, other
691        cases where linear Free-Surf is not @ k=1, e.g., useShelfIce)
692    o pkg/seaice:
693      - fix bug in the no-slip implementation in seaice_calc_strainrates.F, this
694        bug affects two verification experiments (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87),
695        recover old (wrong) results by setting noSlipFac = 2. in
696        seaice_calc_strainrates.F;
697      - add another averaging method for etaZ (etaZmethod=3), a mix of 2 and 0
698      - add runtime parameter SEAICE_JFNKepsilon for that finite difference
699        gradient in the Jacobian times vector operation (s/r seaice_jacvec)
700      - fix line search in seaice_jfnk.F (s/r seaice_jfnk_update)
701    o pkg/seaice: reorganize seaice_lsr.F to be able to reuse more code:
702      - new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
703      - introduce loop bounds i/jmin/max to be able to use a restricted
704        additive Schwarz method, but not used for now.
705      - rename SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS into SEAICE_LSR_CALC_COEFFS
706      - use new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v in s/r seaice_preconditioner
707    o OpenAD support
708       Reorganize S/R call for overall time-stepping loop to facilitate
709       OpenAD revolve loop replacement
710       (new S/R main_do_loop.F)
711    o model/src:
712      - add 3-D array 3rd dimension to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2/3;
713      - pkg/cheapaml: remove local S/R ADAMS2d and use instead standard S/R
714        ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
715    o pkg/cheapaml:
716      - add new parameter (default=F, same as before) to disable full domain
717        (including land) periodicity in X & Y dir.
718      - new S/R CHEAPAML_COPY_EDGES to copy relaxation field into edges of
719        prognostics field ; merge the 2 S/R cycle_2d_tracer and timestep_2d_tracer
720        into single S/R CHEAPAML_TIMESTEP.
721    
722    checkpoint64d (2013/02/17)
723    o pkg/monitor (angular momentum):
724      - do not add Eta contribution to the total AM if using rigid-lid;
725      - correct for Adams-Bashforth in zonal-wind part (instead of in AM_eta).
726      - horizontal discretisation: compute Zonal wind contribution separately for
727        each component (instead of from cell centered averaged) and use the 4
728        grid-cell corner averaged value of Omega*(R*cos_Phi)^2 in AM_eta part.
729      - Check that AM is conserved with linear dynamics (momAdvection=F and linear
730        FreeSurf) if using vectorInvariant momentum.
731    o model/src (horizontal grid):
732      - move initialisation of all horizontal grid arrays to null value
733        from specific horizontal grid S/R to main S/R INI_GRID;
734      - add 2 new arrays to project model C-grid velocity on to zonal direction
735        (similar to AngleCosC & -AngleSinC but at U and V point location) and
736        compute them in S/R CALC_GRID_ANGLES.
737    o pkg/seaice: replace a hard coded parameter by a runtime parameter
738        SEAICE_JFNK_tolIter
739    o pkg/seaice: introduce a restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) method in
740        preconditioner for JFNK (run LSR into the overlaps as far as possible,
741        i.e OLx/y-2, but overwrite the solution in the overlaps)
742      - extend loop range in seaice_calc_viscosity
743      - add new parameters SEAICE_OLx/y (default = OLx/y-2)
744      - add flexible loop ranges to seaice_preconditioner, seaice_calc_lsr_coeffs
745      - slightly modify loops in tridiagonal solver lsr-preconditioner
746      - by default remove the extra exchange in seaice_preconditioner with a
747        replacement of an undocumented CPP flag by SEAICE_PRECOND_EXTRA_EXCHANGE
748      - modify offline_exf_seaice so that old results without RAS are reproduced
749        for output.dyn_jfnk.txt
750      in seaice_fgmres.F (unrelated to RAS)
751      - add a cpp-flag option for a re-ordered mapping (potentially more
752        efficient), but because this changes the results, turn it off by
753        default
754      - replace the save statement by local common blocks
755    o utils/matlab:
756      - fix tile-offset in rdmnc.m when output was produced using EXCH2.
757      - update cs_grid/bk_line scripts to use load_grid.m (in utils/matlab)
758        instead of local script "load_cs.m".
759    o pkg/seaice:
760      - fix a serious bug in seaice_fgmres.F, s/r seaice_scalprod, connected
761        to the scalarProductMetric and the unrolling. By chance this does not
762        change the verification experiment, because of the particular domain
763        decomposition
764    o pkg/diagnostics:
765      - change default missing_value from UNSET_RL to -999.
766    o pkg/layers: improve vectorization of layers_fluxcalc.F
767      - step 1: split loops, make TatU/V 2D arrays. This alone reduces the cpu
768        time spent in this routine by more than a factor of 3 on an NEC-SX8
769      - step 2: replace search algorithm by a bisection algorithm found in
770        Press et al. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This algorithm can be
771        vectorized and finds the correct bin in approx. log2(Nlayers) steps.
772        For now, use this algorithm only for TARGET_NEC_SX defined.
773      - moved the search algorithm into a separate subroutine, that is kept
774        within the same file for automatic inlining.
775      - modified catching potential errors
776    o pkg/ecco:
777      - add compile switches ALLOW_SHALLOW_ALTIMETRY and ALLOW_HIGHLAT_ALTIMETRY.
778    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk :
779      - modifications for ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
780      -- forward_step.F, the_main_loop.F : pass options and arrays for adjoint tapes.
781      -- load_fields_driver.F : add call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D( myTime, myIter, myThid )
782      -- add xx_gentim2d0/1 in ctrl_ad_check_lev1_dir.h checkpoint_lev1_directives.h etc
783      -- use ctrl_swapffields.F (new) instead of exf_SwapFFields.F in ctrl_get_gen.F
784    o model/src:
785      - account for moist thermodynamics in (dry) potential temperature equation;
786        update results of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs (std + aqualev)
787        and cpl_aim+ocn.
788      - also switch to standard compiler (gfortran, was using ifort previously)
789        for fizhi-cs experiments reference output.
790    o pkg/ctrl:
791      - 1st step toward generic time-varying control variable (2D) via CPP option
792        ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
793      - note new namelist ctrl_nml_genarr in data.ctrl
794    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
795      - switch off OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE (both forward and AD code) to use new
796        thsice calling sequence and update "output.icedyn.txt" output file.
797    o pkg/ptracers:
798      - from Ryan A.: code to allow to restart a tracer at regular time interval
799        specifying a reset frequency and a reset-phase (for each tracers).
800    o pkg/thsice:
801      - implement new sequence of calls for thsice+seaice:
802          previously:   ice-Dyn,ice-Advect,ice-Thermo(thsice)
803          new sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect
804      - allows (with temporary CPP option "#define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE"
805        in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to recover old sequence;
806      - update diagnostics for Intermediate State thsice diagnostics: now filled
807        just before advection (instead of just after advection in old sequence);
808      - update output of experiment offline_exf_seaice (standard test);
809      - in global_ocean.cs32x15 exp., postpone output.icedyn.txt update
810        by setting #define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE in CPP_OPTIONS.h
811    o pkg/aim_v23:
812      - use tiled array for aim_CO2 and surface wind speed for export to coupler;
813      - use standard pkg/mdsio routines to read & write CO2 pickup file;
814      - in-line S/R AIM_AIM2DYN_EXCHANGES in aim_do_physics.F;
815      - Implement new sequence of calls for seaice advection (with thsice and
816        seaice diffusion): do ice advection after ice-Thermodynamic (previously
817        was done before); change aim_do_physics.F (split the bi,bj loops block);
818      - use same CPP option (OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE) to recover old sequence;
819    o pkg/thsice:
820      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
821        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
822    
823    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
824    o pkg/seaice:
825      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
826        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
827      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
828      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
829        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
830      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
831        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
832        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
833        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
834    o pkg/mdsio:
835      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
836        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
837        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
838        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
839    o pkg/exf & thsice:
840      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
841        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
842    o verification/cfc_example:
843      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
844        illustrate how to use it).
845    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
846      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
847        files to only one time-record.
848      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
849        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
850        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
851        surf-current=0.2m/s.
852      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
853        initial conditions).
854    o verification/cfc_example:
855      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
856        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
857        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
858    o pkg/layers:
859      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
860      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
861    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
862      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
863        anywhere else).
864    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
865      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
866      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
867    o model/src:
868      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
869        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
870    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
871      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
872        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
873        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
874        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
875        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
876        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
877        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
878      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
879        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
880        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
881        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
882        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
883        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
884    o pkg/cheapaml:
885      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
886    o pkg/seaice:
887      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
888        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
889    o model/src:
890      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
891        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
892        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
893    o pkg/cheapaml:
894      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
895        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
896      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
897        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
898      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
899      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
900        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
901    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
902      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
903    o pkg/seaice:
904      - remove legacy branch code.
905      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
906    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
907      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
908        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
909    o pkg/cheapaml:
910      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
911        to load new forcing fields.
912      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
913      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
914        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
915    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
916      - add thermodynamics only test.
917    o verification/cheapAML_box:
918      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
919        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
920      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
921        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
922    
923    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
924    o pkg/cheapaml:
925      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
926      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
927        and fix the AB-2 restart.
928    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
929      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
930      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
931      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
932      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
933    o pkg/seaice:
934      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
935        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
936        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
937        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
938    o model/src:
939      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
940        (in case of a poor convergence).
941    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
942      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
943        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
944        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
945        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
946      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
947        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
948        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
949        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
950    o verification/seaice_obcs:
951      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
952        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
953    o model/src:
954      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
955    o pkg/seaice:
956      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
957        cleaning up the code
958      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
959        second argument
960      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
961        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
962      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
963    o pkg/aim_v23:
964      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
965    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
966      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
967        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
968        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
969            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
970      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
971        default: not compiled and not used.
972    o pkg/seaice:
973      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
974        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
975        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
976      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
977      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
978      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
979    o verification:
980      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
981        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
982        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
983        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
984        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
985      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
986    o pkg/exf:
987      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
988    o verification:
989      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
990        to test pkg/cheapaml.
991    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
992      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
993    o pkg/seaice:
994      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
995      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
996    o eesupp/src:
997       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
998    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
999       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
1000         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
1001       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
1002         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
1003         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
1004         undocumented ifdefs
1005       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
1006    o tools/genmake2:
1007      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
1008        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
1009    
1010    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
1011    o pkg/autodiff:
1012      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
1013        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
1014        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
1015        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
1016        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
1017    o pkg/obcs:
1018      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
1019        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
1020    o pkg/seaice:
1021      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
1022        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
1023      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
1024    o pkg/aim_v23:
1025      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
1026    o pkg/shap_filt:
1027      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
1028        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
1029    o model/src:
1030      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
1031        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
1032      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
1033        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
1034        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
1035        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
1036    o pkg/seaice:
1037      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
1038        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
1039        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
1040        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
1041        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
1042      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
1043      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
1044        + introduce global field etaZ
1045        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
1046          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
1047        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
1048          seaice_preconditioner
1049      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
1050      - seaice_preconditioner:
1051        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
1052        + adjust printing of residuals
1053      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
1054        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
1055          seaice_init_fixed.F)
1056        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
1057        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
1058          interval to STDOUT
1059      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
1060        some operations
1061      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
1062        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
1063        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
1064      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
1065        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
1066    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
1067      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
1068      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
1069    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
1070    o pkg/autodiff
1071      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
1072        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
1073        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
1074    o pkg/seaice
1075      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
1076        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
1077        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
1078        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
1079        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
1080        code is not complete yet!!
1081      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
1082    o verification (using seaice):
1083      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
1084        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
1085      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
1086      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
1087        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
1088    o pkg/exf:
1089      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
1090        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
1091        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
1092    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1093      - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
1094        this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
1095    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1096      - remove ALLOW_LAYERS_OUTPUT ; fix snap-shot and time-ave output ;
1097      - snap-shot extended to all type of layers (not just the 1rst type);
1098      - remove layers variables when corresponding CPP option is undef.
1099    o pkg/layers:
1100      - rename pkg/layers variable and add new output (layer exist & un-weighted
1101        velocity in layer)
1102    o pkg/seaice:
1103      - simplify (?) ocean-drag coefficent computations by using
1104        the same routine in all three solvers (saves some code lines)
1105      - remove global fields DRAGA and DRAGS from C-grid code and
1106        declare them locally in lsr.F (the only place where they are
1107        still used)
1108      - update AD output of lab_sea.evp (very sensitive anyway).
1109    o pkg/seaice: add Jacobian-free Newton Krylov solver for ice dynamics
1110      (Lemieux et al. 2010, 2012). Turn on with the usual SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK
1111      and SEAICEuseJFNK=.true. A few things to note:
1112      - involves a FGMRES, that is parallel but very inefficient,
1113        because of many scalar products (global sums) in the Gram-Schmidt
1114        orthogonalization method. Needs to be replaced. Original code
1115        from J.-F. Lemieux
1116      - preconditioner for FGMRES is a stripped down version of LSOR
1117      - SOLV_MAX_ITERS is now used for LSOR as a solver and as a
1118        preconditioner. For the preconditioner, the default is set to 10.
1119      - Jacobian times vector is computed with finite differences
1120      - marginally related to JFNK-solver: add a smooth regularization for
1121        zeta with tanh that will improve convergence (Lemieux and Tremblay,
1122        2009) for any implicit solver (not implemented for EVP because EVP
1123        does not need this regularization in the first place). Define
1124        SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to use.
1125    o eesupp/src:
1126      - check in genmake2 that intrinsic S/R flush is available.
1127      - add S/R to flush IO unit (if intrinsic S/R flush is available)
1128      - flush standard & error msg unit before MPI termination
1129      - if debugMode, flush IO unit after printing msg
1130    o pkg/ctrl:
1131      - ctrl_unpack.F, ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL code: fix missing argument in call
1132        to ctrl_set_unpack_xyz.
1133    
1134    checkpoint64 (2012/10/09)
1135    o pkg/shelfice
1136      - in mom_fluxform.F, mom_vecinv.F:
1137        CALL SHELFICE_V_DRAG(bi,bj,k,vFld,KE,KappaRU,vF,myThid)
1138        Bug fix KappaRU -> KappaRV
1139        does not change verification/isomip but may change other setups
1140        (presumably constant KappaRU=KappaRV)
1141      - fix diagnostics SHIU/Vdrag (thanks to Tom Millgate)
1142    o pkg/obcs:
1143      - fixed some indexing bugs in obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1144      - added obcs relaxation subroutines for HSALT and HSNOW
1145      - changes verification/seaice_obcs/results/obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1146    o pkg/seaice:
1147    - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,    - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,
1148      default is off for now.      default is off for now.
1149  o pkg/obcs:  o pkg/obcs:
