4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/ctrl/CTRL_GENARR.h, ctrl_readparms.F :
8     - add xx_genarr2d_bounds,xx_genarr3d_bounds,
9       xx_genarr2d_numsmooth, xx_genarr3d_numsmooth
10    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F :
11     - remove compilation failure
12     - replace hard coded example
13     - use ctrl_map_ini_gen2D, 3D
14    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F :
15     - on/off switch based upon xx_genarr2d_weight,3d
16    o src/packages_init_variables.F :
17      - regroup pkg/estimation calls
18      - remove CTRL_MAP_INI, CTRL_MAP_INI_ECCO
19        (moved to ctrl_init_variables)
20    o cost/cost_init_varia.F :
21      - remove ecco_cost_init_varia
22        (moved to ecco_init_varia)
23    o ctrl/ctrl_init_variables.F :
24      - add CTRL_MAP_INI, CTRL_MAP_INI_ECCO
25      - add CTRL_MAP_INI_GENARR, SEAICE_CTRL_MAP_INI
26    o ctrl/ctrl_map_ini.F :
27      - remove ctrl_map_ini_genarr, seaice_ctrl_map_ini
28        (moved to ctrl_init_variables)
29    o ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F :
30      - remove ECCO_PHYS (mv to ecco_init_varia)
31      - remove seaice_ctrl_map_ini (mv to ctrl_init_variables)
32    o ecco/ecco_ad_diff.list :
33      - add ecco_init_varia.f
34    o ecco/ecco_init_varia.F
35      - new routine
36    o pkg/streamice:
37      - move call to STREAMICE_INITIALIZE_PETSC from the_model_main.F
38        to streamice_init_fixed.F ; fix setting of STREAMICEisOn.
39      - from model/src, only call pkg/streamice routines if useStreamIce is TRUE.
40    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
41      - fix bug causing negatives in GAD_SMOLARKIEWICZ_HACK, introduced 8/8/2014.
42    o pkg/exf:
43      - exf_getffields.F : add xxg_atemp, xxg_aqh, xxg_swdown, xxg_lwdown,
44         xxg_precip capability
45      - exf_wind.F : no need for ALLOW_WSPEED_CONTROL cpp switch
46    o pkg/ctrl:
47      - ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F : omit (un)packing of undefined xx_gentim2d
48    o model/src/load_fields_driver.F :
49      - move call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D ahead of BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD, EXF_GETFORCING
50        so xx_gentim2d can be applied to e.g. exf fields in a timely manner.
51    o OpenAD verification experiments:
52      - Include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h, and CTRL_OPTIONS.h
53        in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h);
54        for now, only in pkgs used in OpenAD verification experiments.
55      - Change all except one (halfpipe_streamice) OpenAD experiments to use pkg
56        specific option file (AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h & CTRL_OPTIONS.h)
57        instead of using ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (with all relevant options in it).
58        This applies to both TAF (*/code_ad/) and OpenAD (*/code_oad/) tests.
59    o OpenAD verification tests:
60      - finish removing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD (replaced by ALLOW_OPENAD);
61      - finish replacing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for
62        tape/storage which are specific to TAF/TAMC) in pkgs used in OpenAD exp.
63      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undef in OpenAD verification tests (*/code_oad/)
64        and remove local copy of "tamc.h" (needed only if ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC).
65    o model/src & generic_advdiff:
66      - change hard-coded loop-range in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T/S to set T & S
67        forcing over 0:sNx+1, 0:sNy=1 (instead of just 1:sNx,1:sNy): Model
68        dynamics requires valid tracer forcing only over tile interior but, for
69        some diagnostics, may need to extend it over 1 point in tile halo region.
70      - in gad_calc_rhs.F, update calls to gmredi_x/ytransport to get valid
71        tendency over i,j_Min,Max range. This allows to simplfy i,j_Min,Max
72        setting in temp/salt/ptracer_integrate.F
73    o pkg/dic:
74      - multiply tracer tendencies by maskInC (if ussing OBCS) before updating
75        gchem tracers: this allows to skip the 2nd call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER
76        in gchem_forcing_sep.F
77    o pkg/autodiff & obcs:
78      - add storage of current OB values for U & V (was already done for T & S).
79    
80    checkpoint65c (2014/08/30)
81    o pkg/dic:
82      - take out of dic_atmos.F the initialisation part (corresponding to istate=0)
83        and move it to new S/R DIC_INI_ATMOS ; also simplify the dependencies for
84        AD compilers (but still a Pb with multi-threading and Ajoint dependencies).
85    o verification:
86      - new experiment testing OBCS and DIC pkgs, using params & output from
87        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo but limited to a sub-domain around Drake
88        passage: take OBCS from the last year of a 2 yrs simulation and initial
89        conditions from t=1.yr while keeping the same forcing.
90    o model/src:
91      - when allowFreezing=T, only reset below freezing initial Temp to Tfreezing
92        (at any k) if checkIniTemp is not set to FALSE (default checkIniTemp=T).
93    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
94      - re-write S/R DIAGSTATS_CALC (more similar to TARGET_NEC_SX part) to:
95        a) refine region where stats are computed, excluding where arrhFac=0 ;
96        b) fix missing interior mask (use with OBCS) in 3-D fields statistics;
97        c) extend regional stats over the region edges (for U or V pt location).
98    o pkg/gchem:
99      - add a (2nd) call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER in gchem_forcing_sep.F (needed since
100        pkg/dic is currently changing/updating ptracers values beyond the OB).
101    o verification (hs94):
102      - convert Held & Suarez external_forcing.F (from hs94.cs, with Sigma-coords
103        bits) to apply_forcing.F and undef USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING in experiments
104        hs94.cs-32x32x5 and tutorial_held_suarez_cs ; also use the same version of
105        apply_forcing.F in 2D hs94 (fwd, ad & oad) but keep LatLon hs94 unchanged.
106    o pkg/ptracers:
107      - implement Adams-Bashforth on pTracers (instead of on tracer tendency),
108        switched on by setting PTRACERS_doAB_onGpTr=F (default set to doAB_onGtGs)
109      - change exp4 secondary test (input.nlfs) to test AB on T & S & pTracer
110        with AB-2 code (so that it get tested).
111    o model/src:
112      - allow to apply Adams-Bashforth on Temp & Salt (instead of on gT,gS)
113        with AB-2 code (previously only available with AB-3 code).
114        Also move the code (call to ADAMS_BASHFORTH S/R) form thermodynamics.F
115        to temp/salt_integrate.F (since the 2nd part of gt/sNm1 update is done
116        there, by calling CYCLE_AB_TRACER).
117    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
118      - change Tracer argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R GAD_CALC_RHS,
119        GAD_C2_ADV_R, GAD_U3_ADV_R, GAD_C4_ADV_R, GAD_DIFF_R, GAD_BIHARM_R
120        + also in GMREDI_X/Y/RTRANSPORT ; and update corresponding calls in
121        S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
122    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
123      - remove common block variables gT,gS (in DYNVARS.h), except when
124         USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING is defined; update TAF storage accordingly.
125      - remove common block variable gPtr.
126    o model/src & pkgs:
127      - change gTracer (and/or tracer) argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R
128         ADAMS_BASHFORTH(2&3), CYCLE_(AB_)TRACER, FREESURF_RESCALE_G,
129         IMPLDIFF, SOLVE_TRIDIAGONAL & _PENTADIAGONAL, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
130         GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_CALC_RHS, GAD_IMPLICIT_R, TIMEAVE_CUMUL_DIF_1T
131      + change accordingly all calling S/R.
132      - use local temperature/salinity/ptracer tendency array (without bi,bj)
133        in S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
134    o pkg/seaice:
135      - move computation of stress contributions to rhsU/V in s/r seaice_lsr
136        to separate s/r seaice_lsr_rhsu/v in order to be able to re-use code
137      - make u/vIceC local variables if SEAICE_CGRID is defined only to be used
138        in seaice_lsr
139      - seaice_lsr.F: make local 4D arrays UXX, VYY, etc 2D
140        in s/r seaice_lsr_calc_coeffs
141    o pkg/mdsio:
142      - in MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD, stop if file-name (+prefix) is too long
143        (e.g., > MAX_LEN_MBUF -90 ) or, in INI_MODEL_IO, if mdsioLocalDir is
144        too long (e.g., > MAX_LEN_FNAM/2 )
145    
146    checkpoint65b (2014/08/12)
147    o pkg/matrix:
148      - pass, as argument, updated tracer field to S/R MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP
149    o model/src:
150      - fix initialisation of geothermalFile; compile geothermal-flux code in
151        natl_box verification experiment.
152    o model/src & pkg/down_slope:
153      - push the k loop inside S/R TIMESTEP_TRACER (now called outside the k loop).
154      - in dwnslp_apply.F, update tracer tendency instead of the future tracer
155        field and call S/R DWNSLP_APPLY before TIMESTEP_TRACER; this affects
156        results at machine truncation level: update output of experiments
157        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp (FWD) and lab_sea.noseaicedyn (AD).
158    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
159      - do not cumulate the full volume when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is
160        called with bibjFlg < 0 (no increment of the counter for 2D/3D diag);
161        This fix the mean statistics when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is called multiple
162        times (but Min,Max and StD are still wrong).
163    o model/src:
164      - add geothermal flux forcing: read in ini_forcing.F as time-constant
165        field "geothermalFlux" applied in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T (apply_forcing.F)
166    o model/src:
167      - move CYCLE_TRACER calls from tracers_correction_step.F to temp/salt/ptracer
168        _integrate.F so that, when leaving S/R THERMODYANMICS, theta,salt and pTrac
169        arrays are already updated while adjustments (filters, conv.adjustment) are
170        still applied later, in S/R TRACERS_CORRECTION_STEP.
171    o model/src:
172      - store in common bloc array "rhoInSitu" the virtual potential temperature
173        anomaly that is used to compute geopotential: this make the atmos code
174        more similar to ocean code which already uses rhoInSitu in calc_phi_hyd.F
175    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
176      - rename integer variable ilcall to ipass (that's what it is called
177        in the residual diagnostics
178      - change time stepping for NPSEUDOTIMESTEP > 2 (does not change the
179        default) for improved non-linear convergence of the first few steps
180      - adjust a few comments and add new ones to explain some of the store
181        directives
182    o pkg/generic_advdiff (& ptracers):
183      - re-work the code to check for valid advection scheme and for minimum
184        size of overlap (now stored in local common bloc in gad_advscheme.F)
185    o pkg/seaice: another attempt to make the adjoint work for sea ice dynamics
186      - re-initialize more variables in seaice_lsr: u/vIceC, u/vIceNm1
187      - add an auxilliary variable "bet" and fix store directives and keys in
188        seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, this seems to do the trick (i.e. more or
189        less exact gradients in my tests); but there are still
190        recomputation warning (although gradients are sort of OK), when
191        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE is not defined, so this flag and
192        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA are recommended for efficiency.
193      - update verification experiments lab_sea.
194      - change some comments in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
195    o model/src:
196      - if staggerTimeStep=T, always apply exchange to velocity field in
197        do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F instead of in do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F
198        (independent of using multi-dim advection or not); no effect on FWD run
199        but affects AD results (at machine truncation level): update output of
200        experiment 1D_ocean_ice_column (ad: 12 digits), hs94.1x64x5 (ad,oad: 13.d)
201        and isomip (oad: 12.d).
202    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
203      - stop if doAB_onGtGs is set to FALSE but ignored
204      - refine warning related to stability of tracer time-stepping
205        regarding internal wave dynamics.
206      - setting of AdamsBashforth_T,S when doAB_onGtGs=F: remove condition
207        on staggerTimeStep & implicitIntGravWave (will now get a warning
208        if potentially unstable).
209    o pkg/kl10:
210      - add new pkg "kl10" for mixing due to internal wave breaking, from
211        http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1463500310000144
212        (contribution from Jody Klymak), tested in verification experiment
213        verification/internal_wave/input.kl10/
214    o isomip experiment:
215      - test pkg/shelfice with Non-Lin Free-Surf in one of the FWD set-up
216        (input.htd) and update the output.
217    o cd_code experiments:
218      - use default cd_code options (#undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM &
219        #undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_CORIOLIS) in experiments: cfc_example (fwd)
220        global_ocean.90x40x15 (ad & oad) and OpenAD (ad & oad) and
221        update the corresponding output.
222    o pkg/seaice:
223      - reduce the number of include files and store directives in
224        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
225      - change the order of loops in one case in S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv
226        (only for SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA defined), which allows me to
227        get rid off one store directive (a TAF bug?)
228      - add one more instance of ifdef SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in
229        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv to change the loop range for consistency
230      - remove ilcall, m from parameter list of S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
231      - fix a bug that affects the JFNK solver: replace sNx/y by i/jMax in
232        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v (requires update of
233        offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk)
234    
235    checkpoint65a (2014/07/27)
236    o model/src:
237      - Non-Lin Free-Surf in p/z coords: allows hFacW,S to be larger than
238        surrounding hFacC=1 @ edge of a step with different kSurfC on either side
239        (topo in p-coords, ice-shelf in z-coords); update output of experiments
240        tutorial_global_oce_in_p and isomip (both AD and OpenAD output).
241    o model/src:
242      - collect momentum forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
243        to apply_forcing S/R); this simplifies mom. Forcing diagnostics and CD_CODE
244        parts in timestep.F (without CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM defined = the default);
245        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., if using OBCS_SPONGE).
246      - collect T & S forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument to
247        apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for temp & salt forcing tendency.
248        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., ocean: if using
249        SHORTWAVE_HEATING ; atmos: if using FrictionHeating or (atm_Rq<>0) moist
250        correction due to vertical advection).
251      - update output of experiments: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (13 digits),
252        global_ocean.cs32x15 (fwd: icedyn, seaice, thsice, all 3 @ 11d; adm & tml:
253        seaice_dynmix & thsice, fwd grd @ 3 & 8), hs94.1x64x5 (ad grd @ 13),
254        obcs_ctrl (ad & fwd grd @ 12 & 7).
255    o pkg/ptracers & diagnostics:
256      - use ptracers (short) name (instead of long one) to make ptracers diagnostics
257        title (to avoid some unexpected truncation); sort out ptracers diags units.
258      - collect ptracer forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
259        to apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for ptracers forcing tendency.
260    
261    checkpoint65 (2014/07/18)
262    o pkg/fizhi:
263      - add parenthesis around fizhi tendencies in fizhi_tendency_apply.F: this
264        affects results at machine truncation level. Update output of experiments
265        fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (12 digits for cg2d) & fizhi-cs-aqualev20 (13 digits).
266    o pkg/seaice: more clean up
267      - rename TAF common block tapes to be more consistent and remove
268        unnecessary duplicates
269      - add store directives to remove more recomputations, but use smaller
270        tapes (and adjust keys) when SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undefined.
271        The idea behind this flag is to reduce the memory footprint when the
272        adjoint of the LSR is not required. As of now, defining the flag
273        SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER increases 4 common block tapes for 2D field by
274        a factor of SOLV_MAX_FIXED (=500 by default in SEAICE_SIZE.h).
275        For experiment offline_exf_seaice, this means on a linux box with gfortran
276        nearly a factor of 10 (but keep in mind there is mostly seaice code in
277        this experiment):
278        > size mitgcmuv_ad
279        text    data        bss     dec        hex  
280        5100659 1216  220458952  225560827  d71c8fb
281        5339425 1200 1868783272 1874123897 6fb4dc79 (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
282        but only a moderate increase of 36% for global_ocean.cs32x15:
283        text    data        bss     dec        hex
284        6695027 1648 1014578664 1021275339 3cdf6ccb
285        6695203 1648 1382505320 1389202171 52cd8afb (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
286      - note: there are still recomputations in global_ocean.cs32x15 and
287        offline_exf_seaice and the gradient agreement changes (gets a
288        little worse) for global_ocean.cs32x15 (-> update output_adm.seaice.txt)
289      - in general, the AD gradients still are wrong
290    o OpenAD
291      - clean up code_oad/ directories somewhat by moving files
292        dontCompile, dontTransform, keepOriginal to OAD_support/
293    o model/src:
294      - using MOM fluxform and Non-Lin Free-Surf with momDissip_In_AB=F
295        (not currently tested): add dissipation terms before NLFS rescaling of
296        tendencies (previously done after).
297    o pkg/diagnostics:
298      - write stats-diags in ascii file with more digits (same as in monitor).
299    o pkg/down_slope:
300      - drop the bi,bj dimension of argument recip_hFac in S/R DWNSLP_APPLY; with
301        NLFS (not tested), use new recip_hFac value in order to conserve tracer.
302    o model/src:
303      - new file "apply_forcing.F" containing all the code previously in
304        external_forcing.F, but with new argument list: pass, as new argument,
305        the current level tendency array to update (instead of a direct update
306        of the common bloc array). Change the corresponding calls.
307      - add CPP option USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING (default is undef) to use
308        EXTERNAL_FORCING_U,V,T,S subroutines (for backward compatibility).
309    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr, a little bit of clean up
310      - rearrange some code blocks, so that now all calculations for
311        setting up the right-hand-sides done within one single block
312        (I find that easier to read and understand)
313      - rearrange freedrift-code to reduce the number of ifdefs
314      - adjust some indentations and comments
315    
316    checkpoint64z (2014/07/10)
317    o model/src and several pkgs:
318      - change argument list of all S/R called from external_forcing.F and
319        called from ptracers_forcing.F (renamed to ptracers_apply_forcing.F)
320        to pass, as argument, the current level tendency array to update
321        (instead of a direct update of the common bloc array).
322      - change also (in the same way) argument list of PTRACERS_APPLY_FORCING;
323      - rename taueddy_external_forcing.f to taueddy_tendency_apply.F
324    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
325      - always initialize local arrays in seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
326      - add more local tapes to seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
327      - move storing u/vice(:,:,bi,bj) out of seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, but
328        keep it in bi/bj loop; this seems to be essential
329      - gradients are still wrong but only by 4-7 orders of magnitude
330        instead of 15 orders of magnitude, lab_sea improves a little
331    o pkg/seaice
332      - (pkg/autodiff) remove storing/restoring of seaiceMaskU/V that
333        generates unnecessary code in seaice_lsr_ad
334      - add more store directives in seaice_lsr to avoid unnecessary code
335        in seaice_lsr_ad
336      - exclude some residual computations in seaice_lsr when
337        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC is defined in order to avoid unnecessary code
338        in seaice_lsr_ad
339      - add more storing, a new tape (model/src/the_main_loop.F) and
340        another key for SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA (the local keys ilockey
341        and klockey should be checked by a specialist)
342      - modify ( define SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER )
343        and update lab_sea after previous changes in pkg/seaice below
344    o pkg/autodiff:
345      - introduce useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode, SEAICEapproxLevInAd, and
346        viscFacInAd : run time parameters allowing for adjoint switches
347        note : logic for useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode is in ctrl_readparms.F
348    o pkg/ecco:
349      - introduce cost_gencost_boxmean.F that computes a box mean
350        temperature (for use in adjoint sensitivity studies).
351    o model/src/set_defaults.F : initialize viscFacAdj to 1.
352    o pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_visc.F:
353      - ifdef ALLOW_AUTODIFF then include viscFacAdj factor.
354    o pkg/seaice/seaice_summary.F:
355      - statement for SEAICEadjMODE now in autodiff_readparms.F
356    o pkg/seaice:
357      - remove some store directives and add new ones in an effort to get
358        finally rid off the recomputation warnings. This is successful
359        when SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR ***and*** SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER are
360        defined (i.e. no extensive recomputation warnings left), but there
361        are still too many recomputations on the solver iteration level
362      - define SEAICE_VECTORISZE_LSR in offline_exf_seaice/code_ad/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
363      - move definition of MPSEUDOTIMESTEPS into TAMC-block in
364        SEAICE_SIZE.h
365      - add a store directive in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
366    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
367      - fix definition of Hlimit for multi-threaded case
368      - use double precision arithmetic to compute Hlimit: this affects results;
369        update output of experiment seaice_itd.
370    o replace content of verification/seaice_itd
371      - instead of a 1D column use the configuration of offline_exf_seaice
372        to test the ice thickness distribution code with ridging
373      - this is a first shot at this experiment
374      - change of some defaults of ridging parameters SEAICEhStar (from
375        100 to 25) and SEAICEmuRidging (from 5 to 3) in seaice_readparms.F
376        and lot of new comments.
377    
378    checkpoint64y (2014/06/20)
379    o pkg/seaice/seaice_reg_ridge.F:
380      - modify the regularization of very small volumes of ice; only check
381        total volume HEFF, and do not apply correction to individual ice
382        classes because that leads to funny patterns in the heat and fw-fluxes
383        into the ocean. Adjust seaice_itd/results/output.txt
384      - replace nITD by SEAICE_multDim in loop-ranges
385    o pkg/exf:
386      - add code to process the case field period = -12. with UV interpolation.
387      - move debug print (formerly active when exf_verbose=T) from EXF_getFFieldRec
388        into S/R that calls it (i.e., exf_set_gen.F, exf_set_uv.F & obcs_exf_load.F)
389    o verification/global_with_exf:
390      - switch all fields period to -12. (was previously untested) in input/data.exf
391        (but keep secondary test ".yearly" unchanged); update the reference output.
392    o pkg/cal:
393      - new calendar type "noLeapYear" for 365 days calendar without any leap year.
394    o pkg/exf:
395      - new integer parameter "exf_debugLev" (default set to main model debugLevel)
396        to replace logical switch "exf_verbose"
397      - report in STDOUT when loading a new record (if exf_debugLev >= 3)
398    o pkg/sbo:
399      - update from Katherine Quinn: evaluate mass directly from density and SSH
400        (budget using Finite Volume method) instead of from bottom pressure.
401      - allow testreport to collect few selected SBO output ; tested in exp.
402        global_ocean.90x40x15 (after updating the results, to include SBO output).
403      - fix some multi-threading issues (in output part).
404    o model/src & most packages:
405      - always call {PKG}_READPARMS even if corresponding use{PKG}=F;
406      - in {PKG}_READPARMS, in case use{PKG}=F: add a call to new S/R
407        PACKAGES_UNUSED_MSG to print a weak warning when parameter file
408        "data.{pkg}" exist ; and leave the S/R (return) just after.
409      - more standard LAND pkg interface (land_init_fixed.F, land_check.F).
410        + call LAND_READPARMS from packages_readparms.F
411    o pkg/seaice:
412      - remove code that resets useThSice in S/R seaice_readparms and
413        replace it by a warning in S/R seaice_check
414      - remove parameter MULTDIM, replace with nITD and runtime
415        parameter SEAICE_multDim (still hard-wired to nITD if
416        SEAICE_ITD is defined)
417    
418    checkpoint64x (2014/05/24)
419    o verification/lab_sea:
420      - update adjoint and TLM output following changes to pkg/salt_plume
421      - un-do the update after putting back local recip_Cp in few places.
422    o pkg/salt_plume: modifications by An Nguyen:
423      - add capability to do brine rejection (salt-plume) as function of
424        volume+tracers (instead of only salinity tracer).
425      - conserve volume by exchanging volume from each kLev to above to
426        accommodate in-coming brine volume
427      - store surface and klev exchanged fraction + volume in 4 new 3-d arrays
428      - switch KPP surf buoyancy due to brine forcing to 3-d
429        (3 more 3-d arrays, 2 for SPforcing[T,S], 1 for boplume)
430      - add salt_plume_volfrac, salt_plume_apply, salt_plume_tendency_apply_t
431      - unrelatedly, also add ad-hoc capability to vary salt_plume scheme
432        in East/West Arctic.
433    o pkg/sbo:
434      - incorporate modifications from Katherine Quinn to enable the use of sbo
435        pkg in ECCO-v4 set-up ; remove SBO-TimeAve output ; add monitor-like
436        output for future testreport verification (unfinished).
437    o pkg/atm_phys:
438      - change diagnostics (AtPh_Trf & AtPh_Qrf) of DARGAN_BETTSMILLER S/R:
439        skip the reseting of t_ref & q_ref to initial t & q ; this preserve the
440        output of S/R CAPECALCNEW (Parcel temp & q) for diagnostics.
441    o pkg/seaice
442      seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: modify expression to avoid divisions
443        (affects truncation)
444      seaice_do_ridging.F: clean up the insectarium
445      - fix a bug that was compensated by areaScaling (-> remove areaScaling code)
446      - added SEAICEsnowFracRidge to redistributed snow (2nd bug)
447      - set closing/openingRate to zero where no extra iteration is need (3rd bug)
448      - add some debugging information and error messages (warnings)
449    o model/src: modifications relatd to atmosphere p*:
450      - Switch to more accurate p* coordinate slope term (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F)
451      - With p* or Sigma-P, use constant reference Pot.Temp (thetaConst) instead
452        of vertical profile tRef in geopotential background and anomaly.
453      - Acount for true p* correction in theta <-> T conversion in pkg/aim_v23
454        and pkg/atm_phys.
455      - Update FWD output of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
456        fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, tutorial_held_suarez_cs, cpl_aim+ocn.
457    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in seaice_prepare_ridging.F, forgot a sqrt
458    o pkg/ptracers: compute ptracer source/sink due to linear free surface.
459        not used right now, but can be used in BGC packages to fix conservation.
460    o pkg/dic, pkg/gchem: move tracer_meanarea to gchem, so it can be used by
461        other packages too.
462    o pkg/seaice/seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: replace SEAICE_rhoSnow by
463        SEAICE_rhoIce in the Rothrock (1975)-type strength calculations (bug fix)
464    o model/src:
465      - since we have several heat capacity (even in model/src), define "recip_Cp"
466        as local variable (no longer in common block) to avoid any confusion.
467      - add thetaConst in PARAMS.h (to be used with pStar or sigma-P coords).
468    o pkg/exf:
469      - from Jeff Scott: add option (#define EXF_CALC_ATMRHO) to calculate local
470        air density as function of air Temp, Humidity and atm pressure.
471    
472    checkpoint64w (2014/05/02)
473    o verification:
474      - update output_adm.txt files for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15 (seaice &
475        seaice_dynmix) and lab_sea (primary test & noseaicedyn): moving/changing
476        code from seaice_growth.F & seaice_advdiff.F to new ridging routines
477        seaice_reg_ridge.F seaice_do_ridging.F affects AD gradient
478        (down to 8-7 matching digits for global_ocean and 5-6 for lab_sea).
479    o model/src: for atmosphere in p* coords:
480      - store factor rStarFacC**atm_kappa (= pStarFacK) in common block
481      - implement more accurate p* coordinate slope term (in calc_grad_phi_hyd.F),
482        but not yet activated.
483    o pkg/seaice: fix restart problem for ITD with new ice strength parameterisation:
484      - move computation of opnWtrFrac = 1-AREA to before computing ice strength
485      - this changes the results (but not for any verification experiment, because
486        none tests this), but avoids having an extra field in the restart files
487    o pkg/seaice: remove global variable TICE (not needed)
488      - replace by TICES or local variable where necessary (cost_seaice_test,
489        seaice_diagnostics_state)
490      - move copying TICE to TICES from seaice_check_pickup to seaice_read_pickup
491      - use specific read/write routines for reading and writing individual leves
492        of a multilevel field
493    o pkg/ctrl & model/inc:
494      - move additional anomaly fields of control vars (related to options:
495         ALLOW_KAPGM_CONTROL, ALLOW_KAPREDI_CONTROL and ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL)
496        from DYNVARS.h into new header file: CTRL_FIELDS.h
497    o pkg/seaice: some small modifications to the ridging code
498      - make fw2ObyRidge a global variable and add the freshwater flux to
499        seaice_growth
500      - pass actual thickness from seaice_prepare_ridging, so that it is
501        computed only in one place and compute it in the same way as in
502        seaice_growth
503      - initialise more fields in seaice_do_ridging that where cause floating
504        point exceptions over land
505    o pkg/seaice: preparations for ridging code and first real ridging code
506      - move most of "PART 1" of S/R seaice_growth into a new and separate
507        S/R seaice_reg_ridge that will both regularize the state variable after
508        advection call the actual ridging routine;
509      - requires to make 5 fields global fields: d_HEFFbyNEG,d_HSNWbyNEG,
510        d_AREAbyRLX,d_HEFFbyRLX,saltFluxAdjust;
511      - remove ridging code from seaice_advdiff
512      - clean up remaining part 1 of seaice_growth in an attempt to make it
513        more readable (this is probably subjective)
514      - call seaice_itd_redist once in the initialisation phase to have the initial
515        conditions in the correct category
516      - finally: add new ridging routine for ITD code
517    
518    checkpoint64v (2014/04/11)
519    o pkg/ecco:
520      - add runtime parameters mdt[start,end]date[1,2]
521      - rename variable "tpmean" as "mdt" and "topexmeanfile" as "mdtdatfile"
522    o pkg/seaice:
523      - make deltaC a global variable, so that it can be used in ridging code
524      - first step towards ridging: introduce new routines that compute
525        ice strength based on ridging parameters
526      - add diagnostic for HSNOWITD
527      - add opnWtrFrac as a global variable (required for ridging scheme)
528    o pkg/salt_plume + pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
529      - add SALT_PLUME_IN_LEADS flag to activate pkg/salt_plume only when ice
530        AREA exceeds a threshold (code contributed by I.Fenty in 2011)
531    o verification/hs94.1x64x5:
532      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undefined in code_oad/AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h
533      - do not use ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h anymore for TAF & OpenAD Adjoint tests.
534    o autodiff:
535      - Start to include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h,
536        and CTRL_OPTIONS.h in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h)
537        For now, only in pkgs used in verification/hs94.1x64x5.
538      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for tape/storage
539        which are specific to TAF/TAMC).
540      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD by ALLOW_OPENAD:
541        since ALLOW_OPENAD is defined in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h (any time pkg/openad
542        is compiled), this simplifies/reduces which *_OPTIONS.h file to include.
543      - OpenAD: change Makefile to generate the appropriate AD_CONFIG.h when
544        building mitgcmuv_ad (make adAll).
545    o pkg/ecco:
546      - cost_gencost_seaicev4.F:
547         reformulate proxy cost as function of sst and local param SEAICE_freeze
548         change cost names from siv4-[sst,vol] to siv4-[deconc,exconc]
549      - add stop statement if old names siv4-[sst,vol] are used
550      - add snapshots + cost reports for atmospheric longwave
551      - remove factor 0.1 in front of wtau[u,v]
552      - replace never used flag ALLOW_TMI_COST_CONTRIBUTION with
553         ALLOW_TMI_SST_COST_CONTRIBUTION
554    o pkg/atm_phys:
555      - add some diagnostics for Short-wave and for convection S/R.
556    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth:
557      - fix a bug in the lateral melt parameterization for SEAICE_ITD
558        in seaice_growth; tempFrz needs to be computed inside the i/j-loop
559      - rearrange loop order for better vector code in the same code block
560      - rewrite the floeDiameter formula to have fewer divisions
561      -  (miraculously) none of this changes the results of seaice_itd
562    o pkg/smooth:
563      - move param smooth2Ddiffnbt to pkg/ecco
564    o pkg/salt_plume:
565      - salt_plume_frac.F:
566         clean up local param names
567         reformulate (1-frac) to frac; original 1-frac was based on swfrac code
568    o pkg/rw:
569      - add RS version of S/R READ_MFLDS_LEV.
570    o pkg/streamice:
571      - fix the restart test by writing/reading pickup_streamice files.
572    o pkg/seaice:
573      - refine checks for jfnk-related parameters
574      - comment out if statement with SEAICEuseIMEX parameter as long as there
575        is no IMEX code to avoid confusion and surprises
576    
577    checkpoint64u (2014/03/07)
578    o verification/MLAdjust:
579      - rename secondary test suffix:
580         1.leith  -> A4FlxF  + switch to flux-form & add side-drag
581         0.leithD -> AhFlxF  + switch to flux-form
582         0.smag   -> AhVrDv  (use Vorticity-Div. visc form) + add side-drag
583         0.leith  -> AhStTn  (use Strain-Tension visc form) + add side-drag
584    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
585      - remove unused arguments from S/R MOM_VI_HDISSIP & MOM_HDISSIP (as it used
586        to be before mom_calc_visc.F)
587      - skip the call to MOM_CALC_TENSION & MOM_CALC_STRAIN if not needed.
588      - add 2nd copy of vort3 & strain that knows about lateral BC (free/no slip):
589        this is simpler for the adjoint and for diagnostics.
590    o model/src + pkg/momentum:
591      - add input files for  2-D additional Western and Southern cell-edge wall
592         (e.g., to add "thin-wall" where it is =1).
593      - fix sideDrag option for thin-walls with Non-Lin Free-Surf
594        using 2nd hFacZ that is computed from initial (fix domain) hFac
595      - known limitations of thin wall implementation: not yet coded for sigma
596        coords; not working with CD-scheme neither.
597    o pkg/seaice:
598      - rename recently introduced parameters from (wrong name) AB to
599        BDF (backward difference time discretisation)
600      - retire runtime parameters SEAICEuseAB2, SEAICE_abEps
601    o tools/adjoint_options:
602      - remove setting of "OPENAD=true" (now set by command line "genmake2 -oad")
603    
604    checkpoint64t (2014/02/01)
605    o pkg/ecco
606      - add compile flag ALLOW_GENCOST_TIMEVARY_WEIGHT in ECCO_OPTIONS.h and
607        runtime logical flag gencost_timevaryweight to read daily sea-ice sigma
608      - replace hard-coded record number and period which only work for monthly
609        with read-in runtime param that works for other periods (month,day,year)
610    o pkg/thsice
611      - corrected store directive fixes thsice adjoint gradient checks
612    o genmake2 & testreport:
613      - add genmake2 option "-oad" to generate a Makefile for OpenAD built and
614        in this case, use tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad as default AD optfile.
615        Update testreport accordingly. No need to set "export OPENAD=true"
616        in adjoint_options/adjoint_oad anymore (will be removed later).
617    o pkg/shelfice:
618      - put T & S shelfice forcing into model surfaceForcing_T,_S (for now,
619        only if SHELFICEboundaryLayer=F); Change model/src/external_forcing.F
620        so that surface forcing applies to k=kSurf if using pkg/shelfice.
621    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk, pkg/ecco:
622      - Changes to make GENARR more modular (i.e. invisible if not used)
623    o model/src/temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F
624      - re-include store directives that were removed on Dec 27th.
625    o model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
626      - add storage directives for EmPmR and PmEpR to avoid recomputation of
627        seaice_model in the adjoint that is problematic when seaice_model is
628        turned off in the adjoint. The resolved issue dated back to July when
629        EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF call was moved.
630        Update global_ocean.cs32x15/*/output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt accordingly.
631    o pkg/exf/exf_check.F
632      - fix a small bug again (originally found by Wentao Liu, now found again)
633      - streamline error output
634    o pkg/streamice and aim_v23:
635      - replace a few "_EXCH_XY_RL (" with "_EXCH_XY_RL(", so that
636        Apple's /usr/bin/cpp knows what to do:
637        Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
638        Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
639    
640    checkpoint64s (2014/01/05)
641    o tools/adjoint_options:
642      - switch to fastopt.net TAF server (instead of default fastopt.de) for
643        AD optfiles adjoint_diva & adjoint_f95 (similar to adjoint_default).
644    o model/src:
645      - remove some unnecessary TAF storage directives in forward_step.F and
646        in dynamics.F (note: not always removed by TAF, e.g., double storage
647        of kappaRU,kappaRV in former version of dynamics.F).
648    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
649      - call directly GAD_IMPLICIT_R & IMPLDIFF + DWNSLP_APPLY from temp_integrate.F
650        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (instead of from thermodynamics.F)
651        and remove ptracers_dwnslp_apply.F & ptracers_implicit.F
652      - call MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP for each tracer (in ptracers_integrate.F)
653      - add fZon & fMer as output argument of S/R GAD_CALC_RHS.
654      - update TAF AD-output of experiments global_ocean.90x40x15 (13 for AD-grad).
655    o useSingleCpuInput separates single-CPU input from single-CPU output;
656        for now only implemented for in exf_interp_read.F
657    o verification/advect_xy:
658      - fix missing EXCH call in local version of ini_salt.F and update output.
659    o momentum diagnostics:
660      - fix which deltaT is used in Total-Tendency diagnostics.
661      - fix typo in diagnostics for momentum tendency from AB.
662    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: fix an initialisation bug for the
663        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA option that lead to NaNs on a NEC-SX8
664    
665    checkpoint64r (2013/12/08)
666    o verification/*/results:
667      - Update reference output of experiments that were passing with just 13 digits
668         (make it easier to detect future changes in results)
669    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
670      - move calls to GAD_ADVECTION (Multi-Dim advection) from thermodynamics.F to
671        inside temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F and from ptracers_advection.F
672        to inside ptracers_integrate.F ; remove ptracers_advection.F
673    o coupling interface pkgs:
674        [atm_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf & atm_ocn_coupler]
675      - change the config check to test the agreement of Ocean Depth
676        with ATM land/sea mask (instead of ATM orography);
677      - send to coupler the number of coupler time-steps to do for this run:
678        this allows to check for consistency and don't need anymore to be
679        specified in parameter file "data";
680      in coupler:
681      - check consistency of RunOff map versus Ocean Depth and ATM land/sea mask.
682      - improve report to log-file of config setting (pass log-file unit to few S/R)
683    o pkg/compon_communic:
684      - add coupling send/receive for non-tiled integer vector;
685      - add S/R to check and stop if any proc has an error (similar to
686        eesupp/src/stop_if_error.F but single thread and across Comm_World).
687    o pkg/exch2:
688      - in exch2*_get_rx[1,2]: use new list "W2_tileIndex" to replace search
689        through list of all tiles my proc owns.
690    o model/src:
691      - AUTODIFF only: in calc_adv_flow.F, recompute rTransKp (instead of copying
692        from rTrans) to simplify dependencies (no need to store rTrans anymore in
693        calling S/R); this affects AD results at machine truncation level:
694        update AD-output (TAF) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
695        bottom_ctrl_5x5 & obcs_ctrl (12 digits for AD grad, same FWD grad).
696    o tools/build_options:
697      - simplify Warnings options (-ieee & -devel cases) in linux_amd64_gfortran
698    o coupling interface pkgs:
699        [compon_communic, atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf]
700      - move declaration of local array "ibuf" out of header file "CPLR_SIG.h"
701        to each S/R that needs it; remove un-used variables.
702      - change component tile registration (cpl_register.F in both compon_interf
703        and mitcomponent_tile_register.F) to pass the full list of tiles
704        information (including bi,bj) in 1 vector (instead of in a bi,bj matrix).
705      - with pkg/exch2: adopt the same convention used for I/O to define mapping
706        towards coupler global array (unless W2_useE2ioLayOut=F):
707         a) can now use different tiling between atm & ocn comp.
708         b) no needs to modify the run-Off map when changing tiling (was needed
709            even if using the same tiling between atm & ocn).
710         c) will allow to run with blank-tiles in 1 component (e.g., for ocean
711            full land tiles); not yet tested.
712      - check for valid mapping from comp. tile to coupler global array
713      - improve report of tile registration results to log file.
714    o pkg/exch2:
715      - in eesupp/src/eeboot.F: move call to W2_EEBOOT before Coupler
716        tile-registration (CPL_REGISTER);
717      - activate (un-comment) definition and setting of "W2_tileIndex" list to
718        store the local bi,bj indices of each tile;
719      - also print bi,bj in local report to log file;
720      - fix pkg/debug/debug_cs_corner_uv.F for the case nSy > 1 (left from
721        Jun 2009 modif of pkg/exch2).
722    o testing on baudelaire:
723      - run 2 tests at a time: no significant slow down (since enough cpu) and
724        get the full set of test done earlier
725      - switch the ifort test to "-devel" ; run the OpenAD test everyday.
726    o model/src/thermodynamics.F and routines called from it:
727      - pkg/gmredi: gmredi_residual_flow.F (replacing gmredi_calc_uvflow.F &
728        gmredi_calc_wflow.F) to update eulerian velocity (input) into residual
729        velocity (outp) by adding bolus velocity.
730      - model/src: calc_adv_flow.F (replacing calc_common_factors.F) to compute
731        mass transport from velocity + lateral grid cell area
732      - rename calc_gt.F to temp_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
733      - rename calc_gs.F to salt_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
734     in thermodynamics.F
735      - remove k from thermodynamics.F and move it to temp_integrate.F
736        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (now done inside the tracer
737        loop).
738      - compute locally (in thermodynamics.F) 3-D velocity field that is used to
739        advect tracers; pass it as argument to GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
740        PTRACERS_ADVECTION, TEMP_INTEGRATE, SALT_INTEGRATE, PTRACERS_INTEGRATE,
741        GAD_IMPLICIT_R and PTRACERS_IMPLICIT
742      - update AD-output (TAF & OAD) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
743        global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and
744        tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ TLM output).
745    o tools/OAD_support and (verification/*/) code_oad:
746      - OAD_support/cb2mGetModules.csh: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in header file to
747        module conversion ; remove unneeded CPP_EEOPTIONS.h.
748      - code_oad/CPP_OPTIONS.h: remove PACKAGES_CONFIG.h and use a more standard
749        version (closer to model/inc/CPP_OPTIONS.h).
750    o model/src:
751      - remove parameter "useOldFreezing" from PARAMS.h and push it to the
752        retired list of parameters (routine FREEZE has been replace by surface
753        freezing (10.yrs ago) and by pkg/frazil (interior freezing).
754    o pkg/gmredi:
755      - add option (GM_CALC_TRANSP_FROM_VEL) to compute transport directly from
756        velocity (same scheme but affects machine truncation) for GM_AdvForm.
757      - update output of FWD experiments: front_relax.bvp,
758        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp, global_ocean.cs32x15 and ideal_2D_oce.
759    
760    checkpoint64q (2013/11/17)
761    o verification:
762      - generate new output on baudelaire (gfortran, -ieee) for OpenAD experiments
763        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and global_ocean.90x40x15.
764      - generate new output (growth & melt) for seaice_itd experiment after
765        updating the input pickup_seaice files (previously wrong).
766    o pkg/cost:
767      - define a "final cost function" for each tile, and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
768        (instead of _GLOBAL_SUM_RL) to get the final cost from all procs & threads:
769        o this fixes global-sum value if multi-threads (since GLOBAL_SUM_RL
770          cannot be applied to var in common block).
771        o allows to get results independent of tile-per-proc setting (if using
772          slower GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV option).
773      - update accordingly: seaice_cost_final.F, shelfice_cost_final.F,
774        thsice_cost_final.F and ecco_cost_final.F (this one affects lab_sea
775        forward gradients: update output).
776      - update */code_oad/externalDummies.F by adding dummy GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
777        S/R and, for most exp., also comment out GLOBAL_SUM_R8.
778    o pkg/mom_common:
779      - move to pkg/mom_common and model/src (previously in tutorial_deep_convection
780        code) 2nd version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code interface: strain and
781        viscosity are locally declared in dynmics.F and pass as argument to CALC_GW;
782        ensure that all field value that are used are set.
783    o tutorial_deep_convection (smag3d):
784      - add missing scaling in mom_calc_smag_3d.F;
785      - set smag3D_coeff in input.smag3d such that results do not change.
786    o pkg/dic:
787      - change dic_cost.F to compute cost on each tile first and then apply
788        GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL: this affects forward gradient of AD experiments
789        tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo; update output.
790      - remove kLev argument and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL in tracer_meanarea.
791    o eesupp/src & pkg/mdsio:
792      - remove gather/scatter_vector.F (from eesupp) and mdsio_read/writevector.F
793        (from pkg/mdsio) since they are no longer used for tape IO.
794      - move simple C subroutine "setdir.c" from pkg/compon_communic to eesupp/src
795        (+ keep a copy in pkg/atm_ocn_coupler).
796    o verification/isomip:
797      - split domain in 8 squared tiles (instead of just 2) for FWD, AD & OAD tests.
798    o tools/build_options:
799      - optfile linux_amd64_ifort11, fast (no ieee) case:
800        to get a working restart for all experiments, add "-fp-model source"
801        to FOPTIM (also remove "-opt-streaming-stores auto" <- this is the default).
802    
803    checkpoint64p (2013/10/20)
804    o pkg/autodiff:
805      - adread_adwrite.F: when type and length do not match ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
806        criteria, return to simple (default) tape IO format.
807    o pkg/mdsio (+ eesupp/src):
808      - rewrite/simplify tape-IO S/R (new S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_TAPE replace
809        previous MDSREAD/WRITEVECTOR) with 2 array argument from each type (R4/R8);
810      - fix globalFile and singleCpuIO options using simpler global mapping.
811      - new pairs of scatter/gather vector S/R (one for each type, generated from
812        template) corresponding to simpler global mapping.
813      - adread_write.F: switch to new S/R (but leave old calls commented) and write
814        to globalFile when parameter globalFiles is set to True.
815      - switch on useSingleCpuIO in AD experiments: global_ocean.90x40x15 & isomip.
816    o pkg/autodiff:
817      - adread_adwrite.F: add a hack for RS arrays (when RS=real*4);
818        with ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO defined, since corresponding (real*4) is
819        missing, just add a STOP if array type do not match.
820    o pkg/exf:
821      - to allow to use seaice-fraction from pkg/exf in other pkgs than pkg/seaice:
822         rename CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX to EXF_SEAICE_FRACTION
823         and rename array obsSIce to exf_iceFraction.
824    o tutorial_deep_convection:
825      - add 1rst version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code (from Louis-Philippe),
826        for now all in this exp. code dir.
827      - add secondary test using Smag-3D viscosity (keep very low backgroud visc for
828        testing) and flux-limter advection scheme for Temp. (no explicit diffusion).
829    o eesupp/src:
830      - added SINGLE_DISK_IO option because reading of parameter files on
831        very large number of processors did not work with existing set-up
832    
833    checkpoint64o (2013/09/25)
834    o pkg/atm_phys & atm_compon_interf:
835      - allows for coupling of gray-atmosphere (atm_phys) with ocean.
836    o tools/build_options:
837      - switch from "-fPIC" to "-mcmodel=medium" in optfiles: linux_amd64_gfortran
838        & linux_amd64_ifort11 and in linux_amd64_g77 & linux_amd64_open64 also
839        remove CPP setting (was identical to genmake2 default).
840    o pkg/gmredi & model/src: Some updating and work done on the residual model.
841      - created new file model/src/calc_eddy_stress.F to calculate the eddy stress.
842      - fixed up the calculation of the eddy stress and how it is added to the
843        external forcing via taueddy_external_forcing.F
844      - at the moment, it is very experimental and only works with the variable eddy
845        diffusivity calculated in gmredi_k3d.F
846    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: add a check to catch the case of specifying
847        lw/swfluxfile instead of lw/swdownfile in data.exf together with pkg/seaice
848    o testreport (& tools/do_tst_2+2):
849      - for MPI test, set default COMMAND to 'mpirun -v -np TR_NPROC ./{executable}'
850    o tools/build_options: linux_amd64_gfortran & linux_amd64_ifort11:
851      - remove CPP='cpp -traditional -P' (this is genmake2 default)
852      - add switch (for big setups) to use 'medium' memory-model (but leave it
853        commented out for now). Note: needed with FC 19 to compile big setups.
854    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
855      - regroup per field origin (model & pkgs) the coupling storage routines
856         (which accumalate in time each coupling field)
857      - move bi,bj loops inside atm_store_my_data.F and store also wind-stress;
858        update accordingly + simplify aim_do_physics.F
859    
860    checkpoint64n (2013/08/26)
861    o pkg/bbl:
862      - update formulation to reduce dispersion of tracer properties in bbl
863      - replaced horizontal and vertical transport parameters with velocities
864      - changes results for verification/global_with_exf.yearly
865    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
866      - change to matrix construction; update both Fwd & AD output.
867    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
868      - OpenAD test: switch to vector-invariant momentum since fluxform with
869        rStar causes problems with OpenAD; update output.
870    o tools:
871      - genmake2: define a common prefix for all temp-file names ; move them
872        to local /tmp disk (but would be easy to move them back);
873      - xmakedepend: apply the same switch for temp-files.
874    o pkg/offline:
875      - changes for use with rStar (NLFS): assume that we continue to provide
876        UVELMASS/hFacW_ini & VVELMASS/hFacS_ini (hFacWi,S_ini as written in grid
877        output files) and apply r* scaling at each time-step (function of the time
878        varying Eta field); use normal pickup files (needed for restart with NLFS).
879    o adjoint with OpenAD:
880      - move OpenAD-specific files from verification/OpenAD/code_oad_all to a new
881        package openad.  This package has to be compiled for all runs with OpenAD
882        instead of specifying code_oad_all as a modification directory.
883      - link the fortran templates from tools/OAD_support to the build directory
884        for preprocessing to avoid conflicts between different setups compiled
885        simultaneously and simplify cleanup.
886    o pkg/exf:
887      - in exf_getforcing.F: comment out most of the EXCH calls (fields used by
888        main model or other pkgs are exchanged in EXF_MAPFIELDS).
889    o model/src:
890      - do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F: skip EXCH calls when using pkg/offline
891        (similar to do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F).
892    o tools/genmake2:
893      - remove TAF output src code just before calling staf (when not doing a fresh
894        built, will stop if things go wrong with staf).
895      - fix target "adobj" (left from TAF version-2 transition)
896    o pkg/diagnostics:
897      - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;
898        this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check
899        when adding diag to the list) to also check any DIAGNOSTICS_[]FILL* call.
900        New S/R to print error message and stop when pkgStatus is not right.
901      - to try: add a warning when "data.diagnostics" exist but useDiagnostics=F.
902    
903    checkpoint64m (2013/08/13)
904    o model/inc:
905      - move FCORI_MACROS.h from PARAMS(_MACROS).h to GRID_MACROS.h (left from
906        8 yrs ago modif when Coriolis arrays were moved from PARAMS.h to GRID.h)
907    o pkg/kpp & aim_v23:
908      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
909    o pkg/seaice:
910      - restore (last time on 2011/12/24) ability to compile pkg/seaice with
911        undefined pkg/exf ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_RUNOFF CPP-options.
912      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
913    o eesupp/src:
914      - fix check for overlap-size argument (myOLn.GT.MAX_OLY_EXCH)
915        in exch1_rx[_ad].template (thanks to Francois Lefeuvre report).
916    o switch to TAF version-2:
917      - add flow directives to "freeze" naming convention for ad-routines that
918        are used in I/O routines of adjoint state and associated common blocks
919        that are used in adcommon.h (backward compatible with version-1)
920      - update all ad-optfiles (in tools/adjoint_options + few local to some
921        verification exp) to switch to latest TAF version (currently 2.5.5);
922        merge "*_mpi" adoptfiles into the corresponding non-mpi (but commented
923        out except for diva).
924      - the major change with TAF version-2 is that both the differentiated
925        routines and the forward routines (new) are returned as part of the TAF
926        output source code. Update genmake2 accordingly.
927      - new output for AD experiment tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (better AD gradient
928        with version-2 when compared to TLM or FWD gradient); other experiments
929        output show minor changes (machine truncation level); update the few AD &
930        TLM output with 12 matching digits only (some prior to version-2 switch).
931    
932    checkpoint64l (2013/08/05)
933    o model/src:
934      - in dynamics.F, skip the call to CALC_VISCOSITY if momViscosity=F
935      - main_do_loop.F: no longer includes additional (AUTODIFF) header files
936        when using TAF but only if using OpenAD.
937    o pkg/mom_common+fluxform+vecinv:
938      - always set horiz. viscosity arrays to background value before calling
939        MOM_CALC_VISC (in MOM_FLUXFORM & MOM_VECINV) and call S/R MOM_CALC_VISC
940        only when using variable horiz. viscosity (useVariableVisc=T);
941      - simplify mom_vecinv.F (only 1 block for momViscosity).
942    o pkg/mom_common: variable horiz. viscosity in NH code
943      - move horiz-viscosity 3-D arrays viscAh_W & viscA4_W (used in calc_gw.F)
944        from model/inc/NH_VARS.h to pkg/mom_common/MOM_VISC.h
945      - store in common block (in MOM_VISC.h) logical parameters: useHarmonicVisc,
946        useBiharmonicVisc & useVariableVisc.
947      - fix old bug (already in 1rst implementation of variable horizontal viscosity
948        in calc_gw.F, version 1.27, 2006/06/20):
949        horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity in gW was missing when wiscA4W=0
950        even if variable bi-harmonic viscosity (e.g., viscA4Grid) was non-zero.
951      - change background horiz viscosity in vertical momentum (gW) to always be
952        viscAhW,viscA4W (instead of switching to viscAhD, viscA4D when using
953        any type of variable viscosity, e.g., viscAh/4Grid)
954      - change default value of viscAhW,viscA4W to viscAhD,viscA4D (instead of
955        viscAh,viscA4) which default to viscAh,viscA4 :  this avoid missing
956        horiz. viscosity in W eq when just setting viscAhD/Z,viscA4D/Z (since
957        default viscAh,viscA4 is zero).
958    o model/src:
959      - extend length of drC & recip_drC from Nr to Nr+1.
960    o Divided Adjoint (DIVA) with MPI:
961      - genmake2: do not create local ./mpi_headers dir when no file to copy into.
962      - remove option ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT_MPI (replaced by ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT
963        and ALLOW_USE_MPI) from model/src code and from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h.
964    
965    checkpoint64k (2013/07/23)
966    o tools/OAD_support:
967      - avoid the need for file "oadtempflile" in insertTemplateDir.bash
968        and remove it from genmake2.
969    o tools/build_options:
970      - remove MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC setting (no longer used) and comment out
971        MPI_HEADER_FILES list (let genmake2 find the missing headers)
972    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
973      - change to driving stress formulation; update both Fwd & AD output.
974    o tools/genmake2 and Divided Adjoint with MPI:
975      - remove default setting of MPIINCLUDEDIR from $MPIHOME (always been broken);
976      - only create local ./mpi_headers dir if using MPI and MPIINCLUDEDIR is set;
977      - add new variable (LOCAL_MPI_HEADERS, replace MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC) in
978        Makefile, which is set by genmake2, and check which mpi-headers are needed.
979        Note: need to update adjoint_options/adjoint_diva_mpi accordingly.
980      - update target "CLEAN" (to also remove ./mpi_headers/ dir).
981    o testreport:
982      - changes for Divided Adjoint Run: when file "run_ADM_DIVA" is present,
983        perform additional runs (number of additional runs is "add_DIVA_runs" taken
984        from file run_ADM_DIVA ; should match "nchklev_3" in file "code_ad/tamc.h").
985    o verification/lab_sea (AD test):
986      - change to test Divided Adjoint Run in this set-up (both standard AD test
987        and 2 secondary AD test: noseaice + noseaicedyn); drop the evp AD test.
988    o pkg atm_ & ocn_compon_interf:
989      - remove cpl_earlyExpImpCall=F option (was mainly a hack added for the old
990        staggerTimeStep implementation) and disable (retired) corresponding
991        parameter.
992    o pkg/offline:
993      - comment out unused field-array: ICEM, ConvectCount, hflx[01], icem[01];
994      - add S/R OFFLINE_CHECK to print offline parameter summary
995        and stop if loading a file that is not used;
996      - enable to calculate GMRedi tensor, KPP mixing and convective index
997        when the corresponding file(s) is/are not specified (but pkg is used).
998      - comment out resetting of monitorFreq (to endTime) since it still useful
999        for monitoring CFL numbers and checking offline fields.
1000    o OpenAD:
1001      - do not define OAD_DEBUG (in tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad) to get
1002        smaller standard output) and generate new (smaller) output (on baudelaire
1003        using gfortran with -ieee) for exp. tutorial_tracer_adjsens
1004    o model/src:
1005      - call EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF outside bi,bj loops (in do_oceanic_phys.F),
1006        (where external_forcing_adjust was called) and change list of arguments;
1007      - merge external_forcing_adjust.F into external_forcing_surf.F
1008      - put surface relaxation of SST & SSS in new S/R (forcing_surf_relax.F)
1009        which also contains balancing surface relaxation (ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX,
1010        previously in file "balance_relax.F", now removed); remove corresponding
1011        arrays in FFIELDS.h.
1012      - EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF is now called when using pkg/offline; implement
1013        a hack for getting back surfaceForcingS (loaded from file) when using
1014        ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (pkg/dic, in DIC_OPTIONS.h) in offline set-up.
1015      - update output of AD test experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix
1016        (was getting only 11 digits for AD-grad, due to different truncation
1017         error in AD code).
1018    
1019    checkpoint64j (2013/07/04)
1020    o pkg/offline:
1021      - to enable the use of other features with pkg offline (e.g., obcs),
1022        also call S/R DO_OCEANIC_PHYS in offline run - more modifs to come.
1023      - comment out "allowFreezing" (now active) in 2 offline testing exp.
1024    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
1025      - fix sign and make compatible with temp_EvPrRn .NE. UNSET_RL
1026      - ahdded RUNOFTEMP test to verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
1027      - changes verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/results/output.seaice.txt
1028    o pkg/atm_phys:
1029      - allows to add some damping on uVel,vVel (strength only function of k).
1030    o verification, ad-tests:
1031      - reduce length of the simulation for AD test: global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice,
1032        global_ocean_ebm and offline_exf_seaice.thsice.
1033    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
1034      - found a bug in s/r pkg/streamice/streamice_advect_thickness which caused
1035        flux input boundary conditions to be ignored; a fix for this bug changed
1036        verification results for forward test.
1037      - add adjoint test.
1038    o pkg/ptracers:
1039      - allow to restart without SOM pickup (resetting SOM to zero).
1040    o pkg/gmredi:
1041      - New parameterisation for the calculation of K and (GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY) added.
1042      - It uses mixing length theory and suppression by steering level effects to
1043        calculate a diffusivity used in the Redi tensor (see Bates et al., submitted
1044        to JPO, for more details).
1045      - It also uses the diffusivity to calculate an eddy induced streamfunction
1046        based on a PV closure (rather than a buoyancy closure as in GM).
1047      - New files added to pkg/gmredi:
1048        gmredi_k3d.F calculates the diffusivity for the Redi tensor and the eddy
1049          induced overturning streamfunction (called from gmredi_calc_tensor)
1050        gmredi_calc_eigs.F calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors required
1051          for use in gmredi_k3d
1052        gmredi_calc_urms.F calculates the the rms eddy velocity used to calculate
1053          the eddy diffusivity
1054    
1055    checkpoint64i (2013/06/18)
1056    o pkg/cheapaml:
1057      - take src files from MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/offline_cheapaml/code
1058        that enable the use of seaice (pkg/thsice thermo & pkg/seaice dynamics)
1059        with pkg/cheapaml.
1060    o utils/python: add subpackage for cubed sphere function, first example is
1061        simple cs.pcol to plot 2D fields on a map
1062    o pkg/streamice:
1063      - This is a new package in MITgcm, which solves dynamic equations for ice
1064         sheets and ice streams
1065      - At the moment it is independent of atmosphere/ocean dynamics, or any
1066        other physical packages in MITgcm, even ShelfIce (although it is anticipat-
1067        ed that this will change)
1068      - There is a new verification exercise that tests it, halfpipe_streamice,
1069        evolves a 40x80 km ice stream/ice shelf (at coarse resolution) in a
1070        rectangular embayment
1071      - halfpipe_streamice is forward-only for now, will have TAF test soon
1072      - for questions, email dgoldber@mit.edu
1073    o pkg/thsice:
1074      - fix filling of snow-precip diagnostic (SIsnwPrc) (left from the removing
1075        of snowPrc from common bloc, on May 2nd, thsice_step_fwd.F revision 1.40);
1076      - remove diagnostics 'SI_FrcFx' ( now identical to 'SI_Fract' with new
1077         call sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect );
1078      - allow precip from pkg/cheapaml to make snow over seaice.
1079    o pkg/cfc:
1080      - move in separated header file (CFC_ATMOS.h) time-serie arrays of Atmos CFC
1081      - remove atmos CFC 2-D arrays from common bloc (now local variables)
1082      - change some hard-coded constant to run time parameter for reading and
1083        and interpolating atmospheric CFC ; keep same default as previously.
1084      - more flexible reading of Atmos CFC (number of records no longer hard-coded)
1085      - put arguments in standard order: myTime, myIter, myThid
1086      - use standard S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL for time interpolation of
1087        atmospheric CFC ; fix for the case myIter < PTRACERS_iter0.
1088      - fix calculation of surf tendencys for partial-cell and/or Non-Lin Free-Surf
1089      - new routine to print summary of CFC params and check for consistency.
1090    o pkg/seaice: add uice/vice to the parameter list of s/r seaice_advdiff,
1091      similar to thsice_advdiff.
1092      Note that for the B-grid case the routine parameters uc/vc are overwritten.
1093    o pkg/cfc:
1094      - change time interpolation for atmospheric CFC-11 (now same as for CFC-12);
1095        update output (CFC-11) of experiment cfc_example and tutorial_cfc_offline.
1096      - fix interpolation of atmphspheric CFC between Sorthern and Northern
1097        hemisphere value.
1098    o pkg/seaice:
1099      - allow to use seaice dynamics without pkg/exf (e.g., using pkg/cheapaml)
1100    o pkg/seaice: add Adams-Bashforth2 time discretization for ice dynamics;
1101                  so far only for JFNK-solver, turn on with SEAICEuseAB2 = .TRUE.
1102      - requires an additional time level that is stored in the pickup
1103      - you can start with AB2 from a pickup without this time level with
1104        pickupStrictlyMatch = .false.
1105    
1106    checkpoint64h (2013/05/26)
1107    o pkg/cheapaml:
1108      - replace one ()**.5 with SQRT + use temp var "cdu = tau/Du" (coare3_flux);
1109        affect machine truncation (but exp cheapAML_box still pass with 13 digits).
1110      - consistent treatment of uWind,vWind location: assume everywhere in
1111        pkg/cheapaml that they are on C-grid (@ uVel,vVel location)
1112        (Note: was already the case for Tair,Qair advection);
1113        add option (INCONSISTENT_WIND_LOCATION) to recover old results.
1114      - compute diabatic forcing only in the interior (excluding overlap regions)
1115      - fill in array "Qsw" (for short-wave heating);
1116      - add diagnostic for precip ; fill-in diagnostics for cheapAML state vars
1117        before any update (consistent with MITgcm state var diagnostics);
1118      - cheapaml_fields_load.F & cheapaml_init_varia.F : only fill outer edges if
1119        non periodic ; + adjusted for uWind,vWind (C-grid).
1120    o pkg/seaice:
1121      - remove dependence of pkg/seaice versus pkg/exf (file: pkg/pkg_depend) and
1122        add explicitly pkg/exf in experiments that currently use pkg/seaice.
1123      - allows to compile pkg/seaice without pkg/exf.
1124    o tools/OAD_support:
1125      - use a local copy (ourRWCPinBd) to ensure index ourRWCP stays within bounds
1126        of array "ourStepOf" in function rvNextAction (revolve.F90).
1127    o pkg/aim_compon_interf renamed to pkg/atm_compon_interf
1128      - change pkg name (to be used with other atmospheric physics pkg)
1129        but by-pass CVS when making the new pkg so that we keep the CVS history.
1130    o pkg/offline:
1131      - call OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD from pkg/offline/offline_init_varia.F
1132        (previously called from pkg/dic_surfforcing_init.F)
1133    o model/src:
1134      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_init_variables.F, using
1135        standard order, except for:
1136         DIAGNOSTICS_INIT_VARIA and OFFLINE_INIT_VARIA (called @ the top),
1137         CTRL_MAP_INI and OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES (called @ the bottom)
1138    o new pkg: atm_phys
1139      - add entry point and source code (previously in contrib
1140          verification_other/atm_gray/code_gray/) for new pkg "atm_phys"
1141        (atmospheric physics pkg from P. O'Gorman and T. Schneider, JCl, 2008).
1142      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_readparms.F,
1143         packages_init_fixed.F and packages_write_pickup.F
1144        (but skip packages_init_variables.F because of TAF issues).
1145      - update contrib/*/atm_gray/ experiment.
1146    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
1147      - simplify and fix the writing of pickup-files for ITD case
1148    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
1149      - introduce floe size dependent lateral melt for ITD case;
1150      - cleaning (avoid division by zero, change to f77 syntax, remove tabs)
1151      - update seaice_itd experiment main output.
1152    o pkg/thsice:
1153      - remove snowPrc from common block THSICE_FLUX, in THSICE_VARS.h and
1154        declared it locally (without bi,bj) in thsice_main.F & aim_do_physics.F;
1155        changed accordingly pkg/atm2d.
1156    
1157    checkpoint64g (2013/05/01)
1158    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
1159      - if defined,  river and glacier runoff temperature can be read-in from
1160        runoftempfile; runoftempfile needs to have same format as runofffile
1161    o pkg/thsice (& pkg/bulk_force):
1162      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
1163        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap (like with pkg/exf).
1164      - change computation domain to always be the interior (without overlap).
1165      - fix bug (wrong overlap) when using EXF and stressReduction > 0.
1166    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1167      - add preliminary OpenAD setup (still has problems)
1168    o pkg/seaice:
1169      - turn some parameters for choosing the convergence criterion of
1170        the inexact Newton method (JFNK) into runtime parameters for convenience
1171      - clean up seaice_calc_viscosities.F: remove/retire two options for
1172        SEAICetaZmethod (1,2), introduce area weighting for method 3; this changes
1173        the results of lab_sea/input because a division has been replaced by
1174        a multiplication with the reciprocal (sumNorm)
1175      - modify offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk/data.seaice to improve
1176        convergence of solver (changes results, of course), and to test some
1177        new features
1178    o model/src:
1179      - remove unused (since Aug 2006) S/R SET_WRITE_GLOBAL_PICKUP and its call.
1180      - remove unused forcing field "dQdT" and associated parameter "dQdTFile".
1181      - move forcing adjustment (balancing surface forcing) in specific S/R
1182        where might also be applied exchanges (if needed) to forcing arrays.
1183    o pkg/shelfice:
1184      - allow to specify the Ice-Shelf mass per unit area (instead of
1185        shelficeLoadAnomaly) and do the conversion from one to the other
1186      - move loading from file of shelficeLoadAnomaly from SHELFICE_INIT_VARIA
1187        to SHELFICE_INIT_FIXED: (a) avoid some TAF recompution issues and
1188        (b) will be loaded in time (before calling INI_PRESSURE) in case it is
1189        needed in phi0surf for initial pressure calculation when useDynP_inEos_Zc
1190      - update isomip experiment forward output (get machine truncation error
1191        from conversion shelficeLoadAnomaly -> shelficeMass -> shelficeLoadAnomaly)
1192    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1193      revise data.seaice in input.thermo and input_ad and update results accordingly
1194        HO = 0.2, SEAICE_areaLossFormula = 2,
1195        SEAICE_growMeltByConv = .TRUE.,
1196        SEAICE_doOpenWaterMelt = .TRUE.,
1197      Improve consistency with input.thsice and fix the spurious 500m ice corners
1198    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
1199      - set Energy Reference Level to liq. water @ 0 degC: temp_EvPrRn=0.,
1200        in icedyn (thsice+seaice-dyn) test and update output.
1201    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1202      - adjust list of tested variables (with testreport) and update
1203        standard test output with better slection of monitored fields.
1204    o pkg/cd_code:
1205      - swtich off Adams-Bashforth on the 1rst iteration. Update output of
1206        experiment lab_sea.hb87
1207    o tools/genmake2:
1208      - change default makedepend from the system default to tools/xmakedepend:
1209        When no makedepend is specified, select tools/xmakedepend it the test pass,
1210        otherwise select the system default (if exist and pass the test) or
1211        try to build cyrus-makedepend ; stop if none of the 3 works.
1212    o pkg/exf & pkg/thsice:
1213      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
1214        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap. Assumes:
1215       1) Rain has same temp as Air.
1216       2) Snow has no heat capacity (consistent with seaice & thsice pkgs)
1217       3) Run-Off comes at the temp of surface water (with same Cp)
1218       4) Evap over ocean is released to the Atmos @ surf-temp (=SST); should be
1219        put directly into Latent Heat flux & should use water-vapor heat capacity.
1220       5) Evap over snow/seaice (pkg/thsice) assumes constant Lf+Lv (consistent
1221        with snow having no Cp) => water vapor is released to Atmos @ 0^oC (=ERL).
1222    o pkg/seaice: simplify the use of CPP flags in JFNK-related files
1223        (compile when SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK is defined)
1224    o pkg/thsice:
1225      - fix oceanic flux diagnostics & timeave (left from new sequence of calls
1226        implementation): move THSICE_AVE call after the advection (called directly
1227        from thsice_do_advect.F).
1228    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 and OpenAD:
1229      New experiment for OpenAD is identical to the one in input_ad except that
1230        multiDimAdvection=.FALSE.,
1231      There is still an issue with this.
1232    o pkg/thsice:
1233      - account for ice velocity (ocean relative velocity) in turbulent heat flux
1234        at the base of the ice; update output of global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn)
1235        and offline_exf_seaice (main test).
1236    
1237    checkpoint64f (2013/03/31)
1238    o verification/OpenAD:
1239      - new (smaller, without OAD_DEBUG) output_oadm.txt generated using gfortran.
1240    o verification/isomip, pkg/shelfice and OpenAD:
1241      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make shelfice package work with OpenAD
1242    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1243      - update AD and TLM output after turning off ALLOW_FE (in DIC_OPTIONS.h)
1244    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1245      - replace adjoint experiment (now similar to fwd input.thermo/ setup).
1246    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens, pkg/ptracers and OpenAD:
1247      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make ptracers package work with OpenAD
1248    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F:
1249       mask the asymmetric contribution of the ice-ocean stress (when
1250       the turningAngle is non-zero) over open water to avoid stripes
1251       in the EVP-solutions after many EVP-substeps. This does not change
1252       the verification experiment (because turningAngle=0 in that experiment),
1253       but will affect other EVP solutions with turningAngle.ne.0
1254    o verification, AD & TLM output:
1255      - new TAF version 2.3.10 (previously 2.3.8) add more parenthesis in multiple
1256        additions and multiplications which affect results at machine truncation
1257        level. Update few AD output (1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5,
1258        lab_sea.noseaicedyn & offline_exf_seaice) and TLM output
1259        (1D_ocean_ice_column & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.som81) which had only 12
1260        digits of matching.
1261    o pkg/seaice:
1262       modify lsr-algorithm so that it vectorizes AND converges by using a
1263       "zebra" method: split vector loop into two with step size 2; this
1264       solves a general convergence problem for the JFNK solver on a vector
1265       computer. It has the potential to even improve convergence for
1266       non-vector machines, but it does change the results so it is turned
1267       off by default. To turn on define CPP-flags SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and
1268       SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
1269    
1270    checkpoint64e (2013/03/05)
1271    o pkg/ecco and several verification experiments:
1272       Remove special versions of the_model_main.F, the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F
1273       from ecco package, and revert to unified routine in model/src/
1274       Adjust verification experiments accordingly, especially gloal_oce_llc90
1275       Should conclude long-standing work by Gael to reconsile the_main_loop with
1276       ECCO and will enable OpenAD's revolve loop in ECCO setup.
1277    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1278      - implement compressible flow method for multi-dim advection (similar to
1279        gad_som_advect.F); add new option "GAD_MULTIDIM_COMPRESSIBLE" (since
1280        TAF generates many recomputations) to use it; no yet coded with implicit
1281        vertical advection.
1282      - change experiment advect_cs (new output) and advect_xy (same output)
1283        to test compressible flow multi-dim advection.
1284    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1285      - fix SOM advection for unusual cases (linear Free-Surf in r*, other
1286        cases where linear Free-Surf is not @ k=1, e.g., useShelfIce)
1287    o pkg/seaice:
1288      - fix bug in the no-slip implementation in seaice_calc_strainrates.F, this
1289        bug affects two verification experiments (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87),
1290        recover old (wrong) results by setting noSlipFac = 2. in
1291        seaice_calc_strainrates.F;
1292      - add another averaging method for etaZ (etaZmethod=3), a mix of 2 and 0
1293      - add runtime parameter SEAICE_JFNKepsilon for that finite difference
1294        gradient in the Jacobian times vector operation (s/r seaice_jacvec)
1295      - fix line search in seaice_jfnk.F (s/r seaice_jfnk_update)
1296    o pkg/seaice: reorganize seaice_lsr.F to be able to reuse more code:
1297      - new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1298      - introduce loop bounds i/jmin/max to be able to use a restricted
1299        additive Schwarz method, but not used for now.
1300      - rename SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS into SEAICE_LSR_CALC_COEFFS
1301      - use new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v in s/r seaice_preconditioner
1302    o OpenAD support
1303       Reorganize S/R call for overall time-stepping loop to facilitate
1304       OpenAD revolve loop replacement
1305       (new S/R main_do_loop.F)
1306    o model/src:
1307      - add 3-D array 3rd dimension to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2/3;
1308      - pkg/cheapaml: remove local S/R ADAMS2d and use instead standard S/R
1309        ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
1310    o pkg/cheapaml:
1311      - add new parameter (default=F, same as before) to disable full domain
1312        (including land) periodicity in X & Y dir.
1313      - new S/R CHEAPAML_COPY_EDGES to copy relaxation field into edges of
1314        prognostics field ; merge the 2 S/R cycle_2d_tracer and timestep_2d_tracer
1315        into single S/R CHEAPAML_TIMESTEP.
1316    
1317    checkpoint64d (2013/02/17)
1318    o pkg/monitor (angular momentum):
1319      - do not add Eta contribution to the total AM if using rigid-lid;
1320      - correct for Adams-Bashforth in zonal-wind part (instead of in AM_eta).
1321      - horizontal discretisation: compute Zonal wind contribution separately for
1322        each component (instead of from cell centered averaged) and use the 4
1323        grid-cell corner averaged value of Omega*(R*cos_Phi)^2 in AM_eta part.
1324      - Check that AM is conserved with linear dynamics (momAdvection=F and linear
1325        FreeSurf) if using vectorInvariant momentum.
1326    o model/src (horizontal grid):
1327      - move initialisation of all horizontal grid arrays to null value
1328        from specific horizontal grid S/R to main S/R INI_GRID;
1329      - add 2 new arrays to project model C-grid velocity on to zonal direction
1330        (similar to AngleCosC & -AngleSinC but at U and V point location) and
1331        compute them in S/R CALC_GRID_ANGLES.
1332    o pkg/seaice: replace a hard coded parameter by a runtime parameter
1333        SEAICE_JFNK_tolIter
1334    o pkg/seaice: introduce a restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) method in
1335        preconditioner for JFNK (run LSR into the overlaps as far as possible,
1336        i.e OLx/y-2, but overwrite the solution in the overlaps)
1337      - extend loop range in seaice_calc_viscosity
1338      - add new parameters SEAICE_OLx/y (default = OLx/y-2)
1339      - add flexible loop ranges to seaice_preconditioner, seaice_calc_lsr_coeffs
1340      - slightly modify loops in tridiagonal solver lsr-preconditioner
1341      - by default remove the extra exchange in seaice_preconditioner with a
1342        replacement of an undocumented CPP flag by SEAICE_PRECOND_EXTRA_EXCHANGE
1343      - modify offline_exf_seaice so that old results without RAS are reproduced
1344        for output.dyn_jfnk.txt
1345      in seaice_fgmres.F (unrelated to RAS)
1346      - add a cpp-flag option for a re-ordered mapping (potentially more
1347        efficient), but because this changes the results, turn it off by
1348        default
1349      - replace the save statement by local common blocks
1350    o utils/matlab:
1351      - fix tile-offset in rdmnc.m when output was produced using EXCH2.
1352      - update cs_grid/bk_line scripts to use load_grid.m (in utils/matlab)
1353        instead of local script "load_cs.m".
1354    o pkg/seaice:
1355      - fix a serious bug in seaice_fgmres.F, s/r seaice_scalprod, connected
1356        to the scalarProductMetric and the unrolling. By chance this does not
1357        change the verification experiment, because of the particular domain
1358        decomposition
1359    o pkg/diagnostics:
1360      - change default missing_value from UNSET_RL to -999.
1361    o pkg/layers: improve vectorization of layers_fluxcalc.F
1362      - step 1: split loops, make TatU/V 2D arrays. This alone reduces the cpu
1363        time spent in this routine by more than a factor of 3 on an NEC-SX8
1364      - step 2: replace search algorithm by a bisection algorithm found in
1365        Press et al. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This algorithm can be
1366        vectorized and finds the correct bin in approx. log2(Nlayers) steps.
1367        For now, use this algorithm only for TARGET_NEC_SX defined.
1368      - moved the search algorithm into a separate subroutine, that is kept
1369        within the same file for automatic inlining.
1370      - modified catching potential errors
1371    o pkg/ecco:
1372      - add compile switches ALLOW_SHALLOW_ALTIMETRY and ALLOW_HIGHLAT_ALTIMETRY.
1373    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk :
1374      - modifications for ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1375      -- forward_step.F, the_main_loop.F : pass options and arrays for adjoint tapes.
1376      -- load_fields_driver.F : add call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D( myTime, myIter, myThid )
1377      -- add xx_gentim2d0/1 in ctrl_ad_check_lev1_dir.h checkpoint_lev1_directives.h etc
1378      -- use ctrl_swapffields.F (new) instead of exf_SwapFFields.F in ctrl_get_gen.F
1379    o model/src:
1380      - account for moist thermodynamics in (dry) potential temperature equation;
1381        update results of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs (std + aqualev)
1382        and cpl_aim+ocn.
1383      - also switch to standard compiler (gfortran, was using ifort previously)
1384        for fizhi-cs experiments reference output.
1385    o pkg/ctrl:
1386      - 1st step toward generic time-varying control variable (2D) via CPP option
1387        ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1388      - note new namelist ctrl_nml_genarr in data.ctrl
1389    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
1390      - switch off OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE (both forward and AD code) to use new
1391        thsice calling sequence and update "output.icedyn.txt" output file.
1392    o pkg/ptracers:
1393      - from Ryan A.: code to allow to restart a tracer at regular time interval
1394        specifying a reset frequency and a reset-phase (for each tracers).
1395    o pkg/thsice:
1396      - implement new sequence of calls for thsice+seaice:
1397          previously:   ice-Dyn,ice-Advect,ice-Thermo(thsice)
1398          new sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect
1399      - allows (with temporary CPP option "#define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE"
1400        in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to recover old sequence;
1401      - update diagnostics for Intermediate State thsice diagnostics: now filled
1402        just before advection (instead of just after advection in old sequence);
1403      - update output of experiment offline_exf_seaice (standard test);
1404      - in global_ocean.cs32x15 exp., postpone output.icedyn.txt update
1405        by setting #define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE in CPP_OPTIONS.h
1406    o pkg/aim_v23:
1407      - use tiled array for aim_CO2 and surface wind speed for export to coupler;
1408      - use standard pkg/mdsio routines to read & write CO2 pickup file;
1409      - in-line S/R AIM_AIM2DYN_EXCHANGES in aim_do_physics.F;
1410      - Implement new sequence of calls for seaice advection (with thsice and
1411        seaice diffusion): do ice advection after ice-Thermodynamic (previously
1412        was done before); change aim_do_physics.F (split the bi,bj loops block);
1413      - use same CPP option (OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE) to recover old sequence;
1414    o pkg/thsice:
1415      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
1416        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
1417    
1418    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
1419    o pkg/seaice:
1420      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
1421        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
1422      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
1423      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
1424        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
1425      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
1426        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
1427        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
1428        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
1429    o pkg/mdsio:
1430      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
1431        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
1432        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
1433        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
1434    o pkg/exf & thsice:
1435      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
1436        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
1437    o verification/cfc_example:
1438      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
1439        illustrate how to use it).
1440    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1441      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
1442        files to only one time-record.
1443      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
1444        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
1445        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
1446        surf-current=0.2m/s.
1447      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
1448        initial conditions).
1449    o verification/cfc_example:
1450      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
1451        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
1452        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
1453    o pkg/layers:
1454      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
1455      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
1456    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1457      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
1458        anywhere else).
1459    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1460      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
1461      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
1462    o model/src:
1463      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
1464        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
1465    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
1466      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
1467        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
1468        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
1469        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
1470        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
1471        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
1472        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
1473      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
1474        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
1475        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
1476        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
1477        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
1478        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
1479    o pkg/cheapaml:
1480      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
1481    o pkg/seaice:
1482      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
1483        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
1484    o model/src:
1485      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
1486        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
1487        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
1488    o pkg/cheapaml:
1489      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
1490        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
1491      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
1492        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
1493      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
1494      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
1495        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
1496    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
1497      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
1498    o pkg/seaice:
1499      - remove legacy branch code.
1500      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
1501    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
1502      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
1503        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
1504    o pkg/cheapaml:
1505      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
1506        to load new forcing fields.
1507      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
1508      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
1509        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
1510    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1511      - add thermodynamics only test.
1512    o verification/cheapAML_box:
1513      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
1514        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
1515      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
1516        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
1517    
1518    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
1519    o pkg/cheapaml:
1520      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
1521      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
1522        and fix the AB-2 restart.
1523    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
1524      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
1525      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
1526      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
1527      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
1528    o pkg/seaice:
1529      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
1530        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
1531        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
1532        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
1533    o model/src:
1534      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
1535        (in case of a poor convergence).
1536    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
1537      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
1538        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
1539        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
1540        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
1541      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
1542        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
1543        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
1544        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
1545    o verification/seaice_obcs:
1546      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
1547        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
1548    o model/src:
1549      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
1550    o pkg/seaice:
1551      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
1552        cleaning up the code
1553      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
1554        second argument
1555      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
1556        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
1557      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
1558    o pkg/aim_v23:
1559      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
1560    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
1561      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
1562        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
1563        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
1564            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
1565      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
1566        default: not compiled and not used.
1567    o pkg/seaice:
1568      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
1569        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
1570        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
1571      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
1572      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
1573      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
1574    o verification:
1575      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
1576        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
1577        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
1578        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
1579        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
1580      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
1581    o pkg/exf:
1582      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
1583    o verification:
1584      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
1585        to test pkg/cheapaml.
1586    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
1587      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
1588    o pkg/seaice:
1589      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
1590      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
1591    o eesupp/src:
1592       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
1593    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
1594       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
1595         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
1596       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
1597         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
1598         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
1599         undocumented ifdefs
1600       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
1601    o tools/genmake2:
1602      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
1603        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
1604    
1605    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
1606    o pkg/autodiff:
1607      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
1608        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
1609        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
1610        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
1611        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
1612    o pkg/obcs:
1613      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
1614        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
1615    o pkg/seaice:
1616      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
1617        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
1618      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
1619    o pkg/aim_v23:
1620      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
1621    o pkg/shap_filt:
1622      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
1623        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
1624    o model/src:
1625      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
1626        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
1627      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
1628        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
1629        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
1630        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
1631    o pkg/seaice:
1632      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
1633        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
1634        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
1635        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
1636        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
1637      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
1638      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
1639        + introduce global field etaZ
1640        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
1641          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
1642        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
1643          seaice_preconditioner
1644      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
1645      - seaice_preconditioner:
1646        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
1647        + adjust printing of residuals
1648      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
1649        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
1650          seaice_init_fixed.F)
1651        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
1652        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
1653          interval to STDOUT
1654      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
1655        some operations
1656      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
1657        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
1658        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
1659      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
1660        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
1661    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
1662      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
1663      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
1664    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
1665    o pkg/autodiff
1666      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
1667        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
1668        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
1669    o pkg/seaice
1670      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
1671        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
1672        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
1673        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
1674        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
1675        code is not complete yet!!
1676      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
1677    o verification (using seaice):
1678      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
1679        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
1680      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
1681      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
1682        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
1683    o pkg/exf:
1684      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
1685        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
1686        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
1687    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1688      - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
1689        this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
1690    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
1691      - remove ALLOW_LAYERS_OUTPUT ; fix snap-shot and time-ave output ;
1692      - snap-shot extended to all type of layers (not just the 1rst type);
1693      - remove layers variables when corresponding CPP option is undef.
1694    o pkg/layers:
1695      - rename pkg/layers variable and add new output (layer exist & un-weighted
1696        velocity in layer)
1697    o pkg/seaice:
1698      - simplify (?) ocean-drag coefficent computations by using
1699        the same routine in all three solvers (saves some code lines)
1700      - remove global fields DRAGA and DRAGS from C-grid code and
1701        declare them locally in lsr.F (the only place where they are
1702        still used)
1703      - update AD output of lab_sea.evp (very sensitive anyway).
1704    o pkg/seaice: add Jacobian-free Newton Krylov solver for ice dynamics
1705      (Lemieux et al. 2010, 2012). Turn on with the usual SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK
1706      and SEAICEuseJFNK=.true. A few things to note:
1707      - involves a FGMRES, that is parallel but very inefficient,
1708        because of many scalar products (global sums) in the Gram-Schmidt
1709        orthogonalization method. Needs to be replaced. Original code
1710        from J.-F. Lemieux
1711      - preconditioner for FGMRES is a stripped down version of LSOR
1712      - SOLV_MAX_ITERS is now used for LSOR as a solver and as a
1713        preconditioner. For the preconditioner, the default is set to 10.
1714      - Jacobian times vector is computed with finite differences
1715      - marginally related to JFNK-solver: add a smooth regularization for
1716        zeta with tanh that will improve convergence (Lemieux and Tremblay,
1717        2009) for any implicit solver (not implemented for EVP because EVP
1718        does not need this regularization in the first place). Define
1719        SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to use.
1720    o eesupp/src:
1721      - check in genmake2 that intrinsic S/R flush is available.
1722      - add S/R to flush IO unit (if intrinsic S/R flush is available)
1723      - flush standard & error msg unit before MPI termination
1724      - if debugMode, flush IO unit after printing msg
1725    o pkg/ctrl:
1726      - ctrl_unpack.F, ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL code: fix missing argument in call
1727        to ctrl_set_unpack_xyz.
1728    
1729    checkpoint64 (2012/10/09)
1730    o pkg/shelfice
1731      - in mom_fluxform.F, mom_vecinv.F:
1732        CALL SHELFICE_V_DRAG(bi,bj,k,vFld,KE,KappaRU,vF,myThid)
1733        Bug fix KappaRU -> KappaRV
1734        does not change verification/isomip but may change other setups
1735        (presumably constant KappaRU=KappaRV)
1736      - fix diagnostics SHIU/Vdrag (thanks to Tom Millgate)
1737    o pkg/obcs:
1738      - fixed some indexing bugs in obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1739      - added obcs relaxation subroutines for HSALT and HSNOW
1740      - changes verification/seaice_obcs/results/obcs_seaice_sponge.F
1741  o pkg/seaice:  o pkg/seaice:
1742    - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,    - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,
1743      default is off for now.      default is off for now.
