7    checkpoint66n (2018/01/18)
8    o pkg/seaice & down_slope:
9      - remove few files from ${pkg}_ad_diff.list (when calling S/R is not in
10        any *_ad_diff.list)
11    o pkg/shelfice:
12      - account for "shelficeLoadAnomaly" in computation of initial pressure
13        that is used in EOS (case selectP_inEOS_Zc >= 2).
14    o pkg/aim_v23:
15      - merge namelist "AIM_PAR_CO2" into "AIM_PARAMS" and replace Aim_CO2_Flag=2
16        option with aim_select_pCO2=2 (using #define ALLOW_AIM_CO2);
17      - add option to derive LW absorption in CO2 band as function of pCO2,
18        using either prescribed pCO2 (aim_select_pCO2=1), or computed pCO2
19        from well-mixed atm-box (aim_select_pCO2=3).
20    o pkg/gchem, changes to enable to use several geo-chemistry pkgs together:
21      - new CPP option GCHEM_ADD2TR_TENDENCY around definition of gchemTendency
22        array (replacing #ifndef GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING) ;
23      - in GCHEM_FIELDS.h, change dimension of array "gchemTendency"
24        from PTRACERS_num to GCHEM_tendTr_num ; this later one is set in new header
25        file: GCHEM_SIZE.h, to be included anytime GCHEM_FIELDS.h is included ;
26      - new set of S/R, called from GCHEM_TR_REGISTER, to record rank (in pTracer
27        array) and number of tracers for each geo-chemistry pkg ;
28      - check that GCHEM tracers all fit in pTracer and gchemTendency arrays ;
29      - initialise gchemTendency array in gchem_init_vari.F ;
30      - fix storage directives for gchemTendency ;
31      - add some entry points for new geo-chemistry pkg SPOIL.
32    o verification/isomip:
33      - update secondary test (input.htd): a) drop cd_scheme, useJamartWetPoints=T
34        and increase viscAh ; b) use ivdc_kappa with implicit Diff & Visc ;
35        c) switch off SHELFICEboundaryLayer, turn on pCellMix_select (=20) and
36        use SHELFICEselectDragQuadr=1 ; add new set of pickup files.
37    o pkg/shelfice:
38      - Replace CPP option: SHI_USTAR_WETPOINT with run-time parameter:
39         SHELFICE_oldCalcUStar (default=F <--> #define SHI_USTAR_WETPOINT)
40        but keep only original (old) formula in SHELFICEboundaryLayer code.
41    
42    checkpoint66m (2017/12/12)
43    o add another hook (S/R PDF_FINALIZE) for the Parallel Data Assimilation
44        Framework PDAF (http://pdaf.awi.de/) in the_main_loop.F
45    o pkg/autodiff:
46      - fix pkg/exf AD variable output (mainly ADJprecip), left from pkg/exf modif
47        on Jan 27, 2017. Try also to fix ADJrunoff and TLM output (but less clear).
48    o pkg/obcs:
49      - add simpler setting (single value) of OB indices for the case where
50        indices are uniform over the full section (Bruno Deremble contribution).
51    o pkg/rbcs:
52      - increase size of "relaxMaskFile" to read-in from namelist and save it
53        (+check) into new (renamed) "relaxMaskTrFile" array.
54    o model/src:
55      - option (interViscAr_pCell, interDiffKr_pCell) to account for true vertical
56        distance (including hFac) in vertical viscous flux and diffusive flux ;
57      - add option to increase vertical mixing (for both momentum and tracers)
58        near surface and/or bottom where partial cell is too thin ;
59      - for now, both additions above are within: #ifndef EXCLUDE_PCELL_MIX_CODE ;
60    
61    checkpoint66l (2017/10/24)
62    o pkg/kpp, ggl90 & ebm:
63      - read namelist without IOSTAT=errIO to force to stop if there is an error
64        in the parameter file namelist.
65    o pkg/cheapaml: major changes to relaxation coefficient setting:
66      - rename parameters cheapaml_taurelax & cheapaml_taurelaxocean (in days)
67        to cheap_tauRelax & cheap_tauRelaxOce (now in seconds);
68      - if using cheapMaskFile, set relaxation coeff to: cheapMask/tauRelax
69        (instead of 1/cheapMask over ocean and 1/tauRelax over land);
70      - with cheapMaskFile unset: set relaxation coeff according to land/ocean mask
71        (unchanged) but skip increase near domain edges for periodic domain (in X
72        or Y dir) when cheapamlX/Yperiodic=T ; also fix linear increase (over
73        Cheapaml_mask_width grid points) of coeff towards domain edges (previously
74        was increasing away from edges). Update output of experiment "cheapAML_box".
75    o pkg/cheapaml:
76      - move setting of (fixed in time) relaxation coefficient
77        from cheapaml_init_varia.F to cheapaml_init_fixed.F
78    o pkg/exf:
79      - add specific forcing field for tides to feed model new geopotential anomaly
80        forcing, for now within #ifdef EXF_ALLOW_TIDES.
81      - remove from common block unused params: exf_inscal_sst & exf_inscal_sss.
82    o model:
83      - add new 2-d forcing field for time-dependent geopotential anomaly (e.g.,
84        tidal forcing), in m^2/s^2 ; add run-time param to allow to turn it off.
85    o eesupp/src:
86      - shift standardMessageUnit in eeboot.F and I/O units in mdsfindunit.F
87        for coupling to GEOS AGCM: HACK_FOR_GMAO_CPL option in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h
88    
89    checkpoint66k (2017/09/20)
90    o model/src:
91      - add missing CPP brackets (ALLOW_COST, ALLOW_CTRL in load_fields_driver.F
92        and the_model_main.F)
93    o ctrl:
94      - use zeroRL in place of fc when ALLOW_COST is not compiled (in ctrl_pack.F)
95      - call MDS_READ_FIELD / MDS_WRITE_FIELD instead of deprecated
96        mdsreadfield / mdswritefield (in ctrl_get_gen.F, ctrl_map_ini_gen.F,
97        ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F, and ctrl_map_ini_gentim2d.F )
98    o eesupp:
99      - add CPP option to activate some pieces of code for coupling to GEOS AGCM;
100      - shift commonly used IO unit (in eeboot.F) for coupling to GEOS AGCM.
101    o pkg/bling:
102      - bling_production: Fix typo in calcium carbonate uptake. Also rearranging
103        and cleaning
104    o model/src:
105      - move k loop inside correction_step.F (+ update calling S/R)
106      - collect implicit pressure gradient tendencies in local 2-D array;
107        affect results (at machine truncation level) when using 3-D solver; update
108        output of exp.: exp4 (x1), global_ocean.cs32x15 (x2),hs94.cs-32x32x5.impIGW,
109                        rotating_tank, short_surf_wave,tutorial_deep_convection (x2)
110                        & tutorial_plume_on_slope.
111    
112    checkpoint66j (2017/08/15)
113    o pkg/ptracers:
114      - fix surface forcing under ice-shelf (useShelfIce=T).
115    o pkg/atm_phys:
116      - use hFac weighted average when applying A-grid atm-phys momentum tendency
117        to C-grid dynamics; this ensures wind-stress match mom tendency.
118    o eesupp/src:
119      - change default for opening scratch files to avoid STATUS='SCRATCH'
120      - close scratch files with STATUS='DELETE'
121      - changes affect eeset_parms.F and open_copy_data_file.F and many routines
122        that read namelists (because they close the scratch files)
123      - you can revert to old default by setting USE_FORTRAN_SCRATCH_FILES
124        in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h (tested in ideal_2D_oce/code & lab_sea/code_ad)
125    o pkg/atm_phys:
126      - fix unset arguments in (unused) S/R surface_flux_0d.
127    o eesupp/src:
128      - add argument "procId" to S/R EESET_PARMS to fix  scratchFile1 & 2 setting
129        (case TARGET_BGL or TARGET_CRAYXT) for early call (from eeboot_minimal.F):
130        called with myProcId in eeboot.F and with mpiMyWId in eeboot_minimal.F
131    o pkg/streamice:
132      - remove blank between _EXCH_XY_RL and "()", which my Apple Xcode
133        preprocessor /usr/bin/cpp cannot interpret; 3 instances in total in
134        streamice_driving_stress_fd.F and streamice_advect_2dtracer.F
135    o pkg/diagnostics:
136      - new option to allow to cumulate thickness-factor (hFac) weighted field
137        (if field permitted); implemented by changing sign of "jdiag" pointer
138        (> 0: cumlulate field, < 0: cumulate hFac weighted field).
139        a) restricted to 3-d (Nr levels), level centered diagnostics at U,V or Cell
140           center position (gcode(2)='U','V','M' & gcode(3,5,9:10)='R',' ','MR')
141        b) for now, activated by setting fileFlags 3rd character to 'h'.
142    
143    checkpoint66i (2017/07/18)
144    o pkg/cheapaml:
145      - add parameter "useRelativeWind", default set to False; this change the
146        previous setting which was always using relative wind.
147    o add hooks for the Parallel Data Assimilation Framework PDAF
148        (http://pdaf.awi.de/) in eeboot_minimal.F and the_main_loop.F;
149        to use set CPP-flag USE_PDAF in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h
150    o pkg/exf:
151      - interpolation of vector fields (exf_interp_uv.F): fix bug in calculation
152        of South-Pole mean value.  
153      - interpolation near the poles, case where second additional row is at the
154        pole (or beyond the pole and moved to the pole): change first addition row
155        value to a linear interpolation between pole and 1rst (S.pole)/last (N.pole)
156        row (instead of just a copy of it).
157    o pkg/seaice:
158      - prevent JFNK and KRYLOV solvers from trying to reduce a residual of 0
159      - add the option to compute no-slip du/dy, dv/dx (i.e.
160        the offdiagonal strain rate e12) by a second order approximation
161        on the boundary; works only with JFNK, KRYLOV, or EVP solvers, because
162        it is too messy to implement for the implicit LSR matrix.
163        SEAICE_2ndOrderBC = .FALSE. by default
164    
165    checkpoint66h (2017/06/02)
166    o pkg/seaice:
167      - add new routines to compute stress tensor components and stress tensor
168        divergence to be reused in s/r seaice_lsr and s/r seaice_calc_lhs
169      - change names of diagnostics SIsigI/II (commonly used for invariants)
170        to SIsig1/sig2 (more common for principal components) to avoid confusion
171    o pkf/exf:
172      - add a stop if useRelativeWind with un-updated uwind/vwind (e.g., constant);
173        similarly, stop if rotateStressOnAgrid with constant wind-stress.
174    o pkg/seaice:
175      - remove (comment out) diagnostics SIuwind,SIvwind,SIfu,SIfv (duplicate of
176        EXFuwind,EXFvwind,oceTAUX,oceTAUY) and point them to their equivalent.
177      - add diagnostics of wind-stress over seaice (SItaux,SItauy) and seaice
178        fraction weighted wind stress over ocean+seaice (SIatmTx,SIatmTy).
179    o pkg/diagnostics:
180      - small piece of code to rename (old) diagnostics, when namelist is processed.
181    o model/src:
182      - new run-time param (useMin4hFacEdges) to select method for setting hFacW,S:
183        originally, set as minimum of adjacent hFacC factor ; now (new default)
184        computed from rSurfW,S and rLowW,S by applying same rules as for hFacC.
185        Only matters when useShelfIce=T with particular ice-shelf cavity geometry.
186    o pkg/seaice:
187      - add momemtum advection, off by default, still in test phase
188        most of the momentum advection code is adapted and reused from mom_vecinv
189    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
190      - pass these runtime flags:
191        selectVortScheme, highOrderVorticity, upwindVorticity, useJamartMomAdv
192        as formal parameters to s/r mom_vi_u/v_coriolis, mom_vi_u/v_coriolis_c4,
193        so that these routines can also be used in pkg/seaice.
194    
195    checkpoint66g (2017/04/24)
196    o model/src:
197      - more robust ordering of column thickness integral (=Sum_k(drF*hFac) )
198        to get same expression (regarding machine truncation) in different places
199        in ini_masks_etc.F (e.g., rSurfC,W,S is now exactly zero when it should).
200        Update forward output of experiments: global_ocean.cs32x15 (all 5 except
201        viscA4), isomip (x3), tutorial_global_oce_in_p & tutorial_plume_on_slope.
202    o pkg/shelfice:
203      - ALLOW_SHIFWFLX_CONTROL: move setting of maskSHI from shelfice_update_masks.F
204        to shelfice_init_fixed.F
205      - change S/R SHELFICE_UPDATE_MASKS to SHELFICE_INIT_DEPTHS (still called from
206        ini_masks_etc.F for now) to update ocean upper boundary position according
207        to ice-shelf topography (instead of directly updating hFacC).
208    o model/src:
209      - move call to CTRL_INIT & CTRL_ADMTLM from the middle to the bottom of
210        packages_init_fixed.F to allow other pkgs to set mask and weight fields.
211    
212    checkpoint66f (2017/04/06)
213    o model/src:
214      - add specific run-time param to select level of printed plot-field-maps,
215        set by default to debugLevel. Remove internal param "printDomain".
216    o pkg/seaice:
217      - add flag to add snow mass to seaiceMassC/U/V, the default is
218        SEAICEaddSnowMass=.FALSE., not to change previous results
219    o pkg/bling
220      - Bug fix in bling_production regarding unit conversion for diagnostics
221        being put in the wrong place
222    o model/src:
223      - add back recomputation of rSurfW & S to ensure consistent column thickness
224        (needed for rStar) between Sum_k(hFac*drF) and rSurf-rLow, for now only
225        when using pkg/shelfice; was initially added on 2012/06/01 (ini_masks_etc.F
226        revision 1.51) but was removed accidentally on 2014/02/08 (v1.53).
227    o pkg/autodiff:
228      - clean-up "checkpoint.flow"
229    o pkg/rw (Contribution from Jody Klymak):
230        option to set mds file suffix as function of time in simulation:
231        *) new input parameter "rwSuffixType" (read from PARM03 namelist)
232           to select file suffix format; by default (=0), use iteration number;
233        *) add simple routine to return file suffix according to rwSuffixType;
234        *) in model/src and in most pkgs (except: atm2d, fizhi, regrid & streamice),
235           use new S/R to get file suffix, except for debug output file (diagFreq)
236           and pkgs offline & rbcs input files.
237    o pkg/rw:
238      - uniform processing of "I10" suffix across writing fld routines; used to
239        simplify debug writing of cg2/3d_b/x in solve_for_pressure.F & post_cg3d.F
240        (similar to cg3d.F, cg3d_ex0.F)
241    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
242      - highOrderVorticity in selectVortScheme=2 case: fix c4 coeff in splitted
243        vorticity flux (keep same sum in case vBarXm=vBaXp, uBarYm=uBarYp).
244    o pkg/bling:
245      - Many small changes intended to clean the code.
246        Unnecessary ADJOINT_SAFEs removed ;
247        removed BLING_COST.h BLING_CTRL.h bling_cost.F ;
248        diagnostics added.
249    
250    checkpoint66e (2017/03/14)
251    o pkg/exf:
252      - interpolation with #undef EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC: move buffer size
253        definition outside EXF_PARAM.h in new header file: EXF_INTERP_SIZE.h;
254        use fixed size buffer (passed to S/R EXF_INTERP & EXF_INTERP_UV) to
255        avoid any dynamic allocation ;
256      - S/R EXF_CHECK: add new check & stop when file-name is defined but not
257        read-in ; add warning when file is read-in but not used within pkg/exf ;
258        + check for buffer-size (if #undef EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC).
259      - update exf_summary.F (print {FLD}RepCycle).
260    o verification/global_with_exf:
261      - switch on exf interpolation in AD test (just like the forward test)
262    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
263      - add storage directives to avoid recomputations within mom_vecinv.F
264        which were generating seg. fault with gfortran -devel
265    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/smooth:
266      - initialize array halos which were generating seg. fault with
267        gfortran -devel in adjoint mode
268    o pkg/exf:
269      - for each input field, enable to specify a field specific repeat-cycle
270        ({FLD}RepCycle) which defaults to pkg/exf main "repeatPeriod".
271    o verification/lab_sea:
272      - update AD results of primary test and noseaicedyn test after switching
273        to new version of TAF (5.3.13 vs 5.3.2 before); agreement with gradient
274        check stays about the same.
275    o pkg/exf:
276      - fix bug in exf_zenithangle.F for cases select_ZenAlbedo > 0 with useCAL=T.
277      - exf_check: MAX_LAT_INC need only be "loc_nlat-1", not equal to loc_nlat
278    o pkg/bling, USE_EXFCO2 code:
279      - add parameter "apco2RepCycle" (set to pkg/exf "repeatPeriod" by default);
280      - update calls to EXF S/R (use new version: EXF_INIT_FLD & EXF_SET_FLD).
281    o pkg/exf:
282      - rename S/R EXF_INIT to EXF_INIT_VARIA ;
283      - add arguments: fldName (for debug msg) and fldRepeatCycle (set to
284        repeatPeriod) to S/R EXF_SET_UV and to S/R EXF_SET_GEN (renamed EXF_SET_FLD)
285        and update calls in pkg/exf calling S/R (exf_getffields.F & exf_getclim.F) ;
286      - add argument: fldName (for debug msg) to S/R EXF_INIT_GEN (renamed
287        EXF_INIT_FLD) and update calls in exf_init_varia.F
288      - For now, for backward compatibility, keep a simplified version of S/Rs
289        EXF_SET_GEN & EXF_INIT_GEN in file exf_set_gen.F
290      - add and pass new arguments: fldName (for debug msg) and fldRepeatCycle
291        to S/R EXF_GetFFieldRec ; update calls in pkg/obcs/obcs_exf_load.F
292    o tools/genmake2:
293      - replace "bc -l" (only used once) by "expr" (already used).
294    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
295      - turn off pkg/cal (useCAL=F) in secondary FWD exp. "icedyn".
296        Note: exf setting (data.exf) can be compared to other exf secondary exp
297        "seaice" (kept with useCAL=T) which has same time dependent forcing.
298    
299    checkpoint66d (2017/02/13)
300    o pkg/exf:
301      - remove setting of useCAL=T when using pkg/exf (useEXF=T); add warning
302        early on (in packages_boot.F) to stress this change in pkg setting.
303      - In (most) verification exp. that use pkg/exf, add useCAL=.TRUE. to data.pkg
304    o model/src:
305      - move call to ecco_phys to end of time step; this may induce minor
306        cost function changes by shifting time averages by one time step
307        for some variables; this revision resulted in changed adjoint results
308        in MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/global_oce_cs32
309    o pkg/exf:
310      - Change EXF_READ_EVAP to only activate code within #ifdef ALLOW_ATM_TEMP ;
311        this prevents to read evap when ALLOW_ATM_TEMP is undef and other fields,
312        e.g. precip, are not available.
313    o pkg/flt:
314      - flt_init_varia.F: use pickupSuff if specified
315      - add code (within #ifdef DEVEL_FLT_EXCH2) and test case as a first,
316        intermediate, step towards completing pkg/exch2 support within pkg/flt;
317        ifdef DEVEL_FLT_EXCH2 then:
318        - flt_init_fixed.F: comment out stop
319        - flt_exch2.F: conserve ipart, jpart (grid coordinates)
320        - exch2_recv_get_vec.F: transform ipart, jpart (grid coordinates)
321        - flt_mapping.F: attempt to fix longitude diagnostic near date-line
322        - flt_init_varia.F: hack initialization (for testing purposes w. LLC90)
323    o tools/genmake2 & pkg/pkg_depend:
324      - define new type of pkg dependency rule ("=pkg_x"), less strict than
325        the "+" rule, that add the dependent pkg (pkg_x) unless it's disabled
326        (-pkg_x in packages.conf).
327      - change pkg/exf dependency rule from "exf +cal" to "exf =cal";
328      - add "+cal" to dependency list of pkg/ecco (needed to compile).
329      - simplify FWD experiment "offline_exf_seaice" by removing pkg/cal.
330    o utils/matlab:
331      - adding ocean_basin routines for defining basin masks.
332    o pkg/exf:
333      - new S/R EXF_GETFFIELD_START replacing EXF_GETFIELD_START, but with more
334        arguments, allowing to check (and stop) if parameter setting of
335         {FLD}startdate1 & date2 and of {FLD}StartTime are consistent with
336        useCAL= T or F. For now, kept a simplified version of EXF_GETFIELD_START
337        for backward compatibility.
338      - change accordingly calls in exf_init_fixed.F + default {FLD}StartTime in
339        exf_readparms.F ; apply same changes to pkg/icefront (for SGRunOff field).
340    o pkg/bling (USE_EXFCO2 code):
341      - fix missing setting of apco2StartTime according to apco2startdate1 & date2
342        by adding a call to S/R EXF_GETFFIELD_START.
343    o pkg/exf:
344      - allows to compile without pkg/cal (but disabled by current dependency
345        rules, i.e., default "pkg/pkg_depend"). Minimal changes to enable to
346        run with useCAL=F ; this involves setting directly {FLD}StartTime instead
347        of {FLD}startdate1 & date2 ; consistency check not yet coded.
348    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
349      - fix all data.exf for a shift of 1 day in all field startdate1 so that it now
350        corresponds to middle of 1rst month; update outputs (2 fwd + 3 adm + 3 tlm).
351    o pkg/exf:
352      - allow to use EXF_ZENITHANGLE without pkg/cal + simplify (saving some
353        calculations); change FWD experiment global_ocean.cs32x15
354        (#define ALLOW_ZENITHANGLE) to test/check that this code compiles.
355    o pkg/exf:
356      - In preparation for addition to NAMELIST, rename internal (_RL) parameter
357         {FIELD}startdate to {FIELD}StartTime
358        Note: new name also fit better the content, i.e, a start time in second.
359    o eesupp/src:
360      - add 1 argument to S/R EEBOOT & EEBOOT_MINIMAL for interface with ESMF
361    o pkg/exf:
362      - add option ALLOW_READ_TURBFLUXES (and corresponding set of parameters)
363        to allow to read-in Sensible & Latent Heat flux ;
364      - simplify pkg/exf main options:
365        1) move small piece of code (case ALLOW_ATM_TEMP undef) out of
366           exf_bulkformulae.F into exf_wind.F so that exf_bulkformulae.F is
367           compiled only when both ALLOW_ATM_TEMP & ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE are defined;
368        2) make call to EXF_RADIATION and to EXF_WIND independent of CPP option
369           ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE which now only applies to S/R EXF_BULKFORMULAE ;
370        3) improve options documentation in EXF_OPTIONS.h.
371    o pkg/ecco:
372      - cost_gencost_customize.F,ecco.h,ecco_phys.F,ecco_readparms.F, and
373        ecco_summary.F: add passive tracer cost functions to gencost;
374        m_ptracer and m_boxmean_ptracer
375    o pkg/ctrl:
376      - ctrl_map_forcing.F: pass myIter and myTime to ctrl_map_forcing as input
377        parameters; move myIter .EQ. nIter0 inside ctrl_map_forcing; add to list
378        of implemented gentim2d contol parameters: xx_qnet, xx_empmr, xx_qsw,
379        xx_sst, xx_sss, xx_pload, xx_saltflux, xx_fu, xx_fv, xx_fe, xx_fn
380    o model/src:
381      - forward_step.F: pass myIter and myTime to ctrl_map_forcing as input
382        parameters; move myIter .EQ. nIter0 inside ctrl_map_forcing
383    o pkg/exf:
384      - exf_getffields.F: add to list of implemented gentim2d contol parameters:
385        xx_lwflux, xx_swflux, xx_evap, xx_apressure, xx_areamask
386    
387    checkpoint66c (2017/01/19)
388    o verification:
389      - add new option "-src" to testreport to only produce source code (*.f),
390        including taf output src code (if using '-adm'/'-tlm' option).
391    o pkg/exf:
392      - add saltflx :: Net upward salt flux in psu.kg/m^2/s
393    o pkg/diagnostics:
394      - add run-time variable diagMdsDir to specify a subdirectory for
395        diagnostic output when mds is being used and mdsioLocalDir is not.
396    o pkg/mnc:
397      - mnc_utils.F: edit stop message
398    o pkg/autodiff:
399      - autodiff_ini_model_io.F: PRINT_MESSAGE, clean-up comments, add _*_MASTER,
400        add HAVE_SYSTEM bracket around system call to mkdir
401    o pkg/profiles:
402      - profiles_findunit.F, profiles_init_fixed.F, profiles_interp.F,
403        profiles_readparms.F: call ALL_PROC_DIE before 'stop'
404      - profiles_ini_io.F: use PRINT_MESSAGE, clean-up comments, add _*_MASTER,
405        add HAVE_SYSTEM bracket around system call to mkdir
406    o pkg/smooth:
407      - smooth_filtervar2d.F, smooth_filtervar3d.F: call ALL_PROC_DIE before 'stop'
408      - smooth_init2d.F, smooth_init3d.F: move print statements to readparms
409      - smooth_readparms.F: add cleaner print statements from smooth_init?d.F
410    o pkg/exf:
411      - check: count errors and stop cleanly at the end (call to ALL_PROC_DIE);
412        issue error message when climsst_interpMethod.GT.0 and climsst_lon_inc > 500
413        generalize tests on interpMethod, nlat, and lon_inc to all exf variables.
414      - summary: skip detailed field report if not used (empty file-name).
415    o tools/xmakedepend:
416      - In case line editor "ed" is missing, switch to "sed" command to clean-up
417        Makefile from previous dependencies (anything after "# DO NOT DELETE" line).
418    o pkg/exf:
419      - change definition of "hflux" input file to always include Short-Wave;
420        this is now consistent with hflux computation (if using bulk-formulae)
421        and hflux diagnostic & documentation (in EXF_FIELDS.h).
422    
423    checkpoint66b (2016/12/01)
424    o model & momentum pkgs:
425      - implement fully implicit bottom friction combined with implicit surf.
426        pressure, for now, only in hydrostic formulation:
427        + to use: compile with #define ALLOW_SOLVE4_PS_AND_DRAG in CPP_OPTIONS.h
428          and run with selectImplicitDrag=2 ;
429        + currently missing diagnostics of bottom drag and vert. viscosity tendency;
430      - partial implicit time-stepping (bot. friction + vert. visc first, then
431        surf. press) corresponding to selectImplicitDrag=1 should be applicable
432        to NH formulation but not available until we solve for surf. pressure
433        increment (instead of full etaN).
434      - change exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice to test implicit bottom drag
435        with implicit vertical viscosity.
436    o pkg/seaice: add linear remapping scheme (Lipscomb 2001) to ITD model
437      - this is a first version that includes many regularisations that may
438        not all be necessary, to be sorted out,
439      - turned on by runtime parameter SEAICEuseLinRemapITD (true by default)
440      - change one verification experiment in seaice_itd to use and test new code
441      - seaice_growth: catch a case where the argument of log can be zero
442        or smaller (important for code stability)
443    o model/src:
444      - modify SOLVE_DIAGONAL_LOWMEMORY version of solve_tridiagonal.F
445        & solve_pentadiagonal.F to enable to re-used inverse matrix for solving
446        similar A.X'=Y' system (with same matrix A) in subsequent calls;
447        switch based on errCode (In/Out) argument value; in calling routines,
448        initialise errCode before first call.
449    
450    checkpoint66a (2016/10/18)
451    o pkg/bling:
452      - BLING package now loads in atmospheric pCO2 file using exf package routines
453        Enable with #define USE_EXFCO2 in BLING_OPTIONS.h
454    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
455      - with INCLUDE_IMPLVERTADV_CODE defined, also call MOM_U,V_IMPLICIT_R &
456        GAD_IMPLICIT_R (instead of IMPLDIFF) when just implicitViscosity and
457        implicitDiffusion (respectively) are used (even without momImplVertAdv
458        or temp,salt,PTRACERS_ImplVertAdv).
459    o model/src & generic_advdiff:
460      - add parenthesis in main diagonal calculation of implicit vertical
461        diffusion matrix (impldiff.F & gad_implicit_r.F).
462        This affects results at machine truncation level; update output of many
463        verification experiments (31 fwd ; 10 adm ; 8 tlm ; 3 oad).
464    o pkg/mom_commom & generic_advdiff:
465      - add deep atmosphere and anelastic scaling factor in implicit vertical
466        advection routines (mom_u,v_implicit_r.F & gad*_impl*_r.F).
467    o model/src:
468      - remove few unnecessary temp array copies in solve_tridiagonal.F
469        & solve_pentadiagonal.F
470    
471    checkpoint65z (2016/09/28)
472    o pkg/seaice: fix multithreading for seaice_fgmres.F
473      - remove unecessary variables from common blocks
474      - use extra dimension MAX_NO_THREADS for all variables of the Krylov space
475        basis, that are stored in commom blocks (including integer variable i1)
476      - clean up code a little by removing commented lines that refer to
477        original code
478      - turn on multi-threaded test for experiment offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk.
479    o MITgcm manual:
480      - add uptodate pkg/ecco documentation to the manual (section 8.1; ecco.tex),
481        preliminary documentation for generic controls (8.3; ctrl.tex),
482        a placeholder for smooth (8.4; smooth.tex), and comment out the deprecated
483        ecco_costfunction.tex
484    o pkg/ecco:
485      - update and cleanup list of CCP options
486      - re-assign gencost_mask to specify masks rather than gencost_errfile; 'c'
487        is now always passed to cost_generic; gencost_mask is now MAX_LEN_FNAM
488      - add checks that retired run-time options are not used, and in relation
489        to gencost_mask and gencost_errfile
490      - finish deprecating gencost_scalefile, gencost_smooth2Ddiffnbt, and
491        gencost_nrecperiod
492      - fix m_eta computation for virtual salt flux case
493      - add m_horflux_vol case (selected via gencost_barfile) that computes
494        transports via cost_gencost_boxmean (gencost_flag=-3)
495      - use gencost_flag more systematically (i.e., avoid using gencost_name)
496        for code switches (aside from physical variable selection)
497    o pkg/seaice: make seaice_fgmres.F fit for multithreading; this first
498      attempt appears to be a bit of a hack and my need some repair down the road
499    o pkg/exf:
500      - interpolation near South Pole: fix criteria on input field latitude.
501    o pkg/icefront & pkg/exf:
502      - move setting of icefront Sub-Glacial RunOff forcing (currently unused)
503        from pkg/exf (read from data.exf) to pkg/icefront (read from data.icefront)
504    o pkg/exf:
505      - replace CPP option ALLOW_EXF_OUTPUT_INTERP with run-time parameter
506        "exf_output_interp" (in namelist: EXF_NML_04); change output file name
507        (add suffix "_out" instead of a prefix); keep same record number as in
508        input file but always write record 1 first (to avoid a STOP in I/O S/R).
509        Change output file content by writing interpolated field before applying
510        land-sea mask (helpful for debug).
511      - 2 compon. vector interpolation with rotation: apply scaling factor on
512        each compon. (Eastward and Northward) just before rotation.
513    o pkg/bling:
514      - Cleaned package. Removed not needed code and comments.
515      - adjoint example now works
516        (MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/global_oce_biogeo_bling/code_ad)
517    o pkg/ptracers:
518      - add Bruno Deremble's code to complete the linear surface correction
519        for tracer conservation;
520      - enabled for individual ptracers by PTRACERS_linFSConserve(iTr)=.TRUE.
521    
522    checkpoint65y (2016/07/29)
523    o pkg/debug (stats):
524      - change GLOBAL_SUM to GLOBAL_SUM_TILE (result independent of tile to
525        proc/thread mapping);
526      - fix Min & Max for case where 1 thread has only empty tiles;
527      - use RL variable to count number of wet grid points (with big domain,
528        can be too large to fit into integer*4).
529    o pkg/monitor:
530      - use RL variable to count number of wet grid points (but used only for del2)
531      - add new routine to compute Advective CFL within tracer time-stepping with
532        writing delayed until next monitor output.
533    o pkg/obcs:
534      - fix bug in OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW (OBCS_balanceFacN misspelled OBCS_balanceFacW)
535    o pkg/cal:
536      - calandar-dump: treat case myTime < timePhase in the same way as in
537        eesupp/src/diff_phase_multiple.F (when not using calandar-dump).
538    o pkg/dic & seaice:
539      - fix compilation of ocean component for coupled atm+ocn model with
540        seaice dynamics & dic.
541    
542    checkpoint65x (2016/06/11)
543    o add a license text file in main MITgcm tree.
544    o added pkg/bling:
545      - intermediate complexity biogeochemical model
546      - see bling_description.txt for details
547      - verification experiment is global_oce_biogeo_bling (for now, in
548        Contrib/verification_other/); tested daily on baudelaire with gfortran.
549      - add entry point in pkg/gchem for new pkg "bling".
550    o pkg/seaice: fix tensile stength computation
551      - replace global field tensileStrength by tensileStrFac
552      - tensileStrFac can be computed once in S/R seaice_init_varia
553      - fortunately that does not affect any verification results
554    
555    checkpoint65w (2016/05/12)
556    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl.h: fix a comma in common block list, so that code compiles
557         with ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED defined
558    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
559      - change secondary test "viscA4" to also test "selectP_inEOS_Zc=3"
560        with "selectNHfreeSurf=1".
561    o model/src (non-hydrostatic free-surface):
562      - More "natural" expression of NH free-surface term (case selectNHfreeSurf=1):
563        was: tmpSurf/(1+tmpSurf); changed to: 1/(1+Gamma) with Gamma=1/tmpSurf.
564      - Calculate surface vertical velocity after 2-D solver adjustment (accounts
565        for EmPmR if RealFreshWaterFlux); used in RHS (cg3d_b) if exactConserv
566        and used to compute dPhiNH (in post_cg3d.F) if selectNHfreeSurf=1.
567        This fixes EmPmR contribution when selectNHfreeSurf=1 & RealFreshWaterFlux.
568      - Update output (changes at machine truncation level) of verification exp:
569        exp4 (11 digits for cg2d), global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4 (11.d),
570        short_surf_wave (13.d) and tutorial_deep_convection.smag3d (12.d).
571    o pkg/seaice: ITD code
572      - fix picking up from a single category model by initialising
573        heff/area/hsnowITD = 0. in seaice_itd_pickup.F
574      - split a long warning message in seaice_check_pickup.F into two lines,
575        because NEC SX-ACE cannot deal with the long line.
576    o model/src:
577      - fix missing dPhiNH in pressure_for_eos.F (case: selectP_inEOS_Zc=3)
578    o pkg/seaice:
579      - add missing checks for SEAICE_ALLOW_KRYLOV and SEAICE_ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG
580    o pkg/seaice:
581      - add basal stress as parameterisation for grounding ice
582        following Lemieux et al. (2015)
583      - turn on by setting new parameter SEAICEbasalDragK2 to a value
584        larger than 0. Lemieux et al. (2015) recommend 15.
585      - The adjoint complains with extra recomputations so there is also a
586        new cpp-flag SEAICE_ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG that is undefined by default in
587        order to postpone the problem
588      - compile the new code in lab_sea
589    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
590      - update both TAF and OpenAD adm output (machine truncation differences)
591    
592    checkpoint65v (2016/04/08)
593    o verification/advect_xz:
594      - increase overlap size from 3 to 4 and add new secondary test for PQM
595        advection scheme (with mono & wino limiter).
596      - change main exp. to test PPM (with weno limiter) adv.scheme on Temp.
597    o model/src:
598      - new parameters "top_Pres" & "seaLev_Z" (replacing Ro_SeaLevel and recently
599        added phi0Ref) to set vertical axis origin and phiRef origin;
600        keep Ro_SeaLevel for backward compatibility (with a warning).
601       According to coordinate and fluid type:
602        OCN in Z: top_Pres(Ref) (=rhoConst*PhiRef(1)), seaLev_Z (=rF(1), @ the top)
603        ATM in Z: top_Pres(Ref) (=rhoConst*PhiRef(1)), seaLev_Z (=rF(Nr+1) @ bottom)
604        OCN in P: top_Pres (=rF(Nr+1)), seaLev_Z (= PhiRef(Nr+1)/g, @ the top)
605        ATM in P: top_Pres (=rF(Nr+1)), seaLev_Z (= PhiRef(1)/g, @ the bottom)
606      - remove Ro_SeaLevel from ATM experiment parameter files;
607      - in tutorial_global_oce_in_p, remove Ro_SeaLevel and set top_Pres to the
608        complement; update output.txt (changes at machine truncation level).
609    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F
610      - simplify computation of deltaZ and zetaZ to simple averaging following
611        Bouillon et al. (2013). This removes a lot of code, but also changes
612        verification experiment lab_sea.hb87 -> updated
613    
614    checkpoint65u (2016/03/14)
615    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
616      - from Darren: add PPM and PQM advection schemes (number 40-42 and 50-52)
617        with 2 types of limiter (see: Engwirda & Kelley, submit. to JCP);
618        Note (from Darren): unlimited PPM/PQM scheme (40 & 50) are just for
619        testing and not for actual use.
620    o model/src:
621      - add parameter "phi0Ref" to specify reference [pressure/geo] potential at
622        origin r = rF(1);
623      - add options (parameter selectP_inEOS_Zc) to select which pressure to use
624        in EOS for height coordinate: enable to include NH Pressure or to use
625        more accurate pressure vertical profile; options not linked to EOS type
626        (as previously, e.g., JMD95P/JMD95Z) but set default according to EOS type;
627      - start to implement variable gravity (along vertical): for now, only with
628        z-coords (not even z*).
629      - add Ideal Gas equation of state for height coordinate.
630      - update OpenAD output (affected at machine truncation level) of exp:
631        global_ocean.90x40x15, OpenAD (std) and tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
632    o pkg/exf:
633      - add ALLOW_EXF_OUTPUT_INTERP cpp switch to output the result
634        of exf interpolation (before any rescaling, rotation or interpolation
635        to velocity point) for each field that gets loaded from file. This option
636        identically mimics the input file organization (e.g. record numbers in year
637        by year input files) besides the change in horizontal grid.
638      - add rotateStressOnAgrid run-time switch so that wind stress fields
639        can be provided on the A-grid in zonal/meridional direction and
640        rotated on the fly. This only applies to the case when the exf
641        interpolation is off and rotateStressOnAgrid is false by default.
642    o model/src:
643      - rename internal parameter "useDynP_inEos_Zc" to "storePhiHyd4Phys" (since
644        it's also used with pkg/atm_phys) and add few more parameters (but still
645        inactive, src code yet to come)
646    
647    checkpoint65t (2016/02/10)
648    o pkg/atm_phys:
649      - from Ruth Geen: add optical depth dependence on CO2 concentration.
650    o model/src:
651      - fix vertical inter/extra-polation of density factor rhoFacF (for anelastic)
652        for the case setCenterDr=T (delRc set from "data"); add output of rhoFacC&F.
653        Update output of exp. deep_anelastic (changes at truncation level).
654    o tools:
655      - add a hack in "remove_comments_sed" (used only with TAF) for recent
656        version of OpenMPI (shipped with FC.23): comment out the new header
657        file "mpif-sizeof.h" which causes problems to TAF.
658    o pkg/seaice:
659      - change the termination criterion so that maxits (SEAICElinearIterMax)
660        has an effect
661      - unify iteration parameters for implicit solvers (JFNK and Picard)
662        SEAICEnonLinIterMax replaces SEAICEnewtonIterMax/NPSEUDOTIMESTEPS
663        SEAICElinearIterMax replaces SEAICEkrylovIterMax/SOLV_MAX_ITER
664        SEAICEpreLinIterMax replaces SOLV_MAX_ITER in preconditioner
665        SEAICEpreNL_IterMax replaces NPSEUDOTIMESTEPS in preconditioner
666        SEAICEnonLinTol     replaces JFNKgamma_nonlin
667      - remove S/R SEAICE_FGMRES_DRIVER and put content into S/R SEAICE_JFKN
668      - add new Picard-Krylov solver, compile with SEAICE_ALLOW_KRYLOV and
669        use with SEAICEuseKrylov
670    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
671        fix small bug: replace zetaZ by zetaZloc in S/R seaice_lsr_rhsu/v; only
672        relevant if SEAICEuseStrImpCpl=T, and even then it does not seem to have
673        an effect.
674    o pkg/seaice: add two new parameters
675      - SEAICEuseLSR to simplify the logic in seaice_dynsolver (this
676        parameter is not in any namelist)
677      - SEAICEusrPicardAsPrecon to allow s/r seaice_lsr to be used as
678        a preconditioner for the non-linear Newton iteration of the JFNK
679        solver
680    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: replace 1./SEAICE_deltaTdyn with recip_deltaT,
681      affects some experiments at truncation level:
682      - global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (11 digits),
683      - global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice (11 digits),
684      - seaice_itd (12 digits), seaice_itd.lipscomb07 (12 digits) -> update
685      - also update global_ocean.cs32x15 adjoint and tangent-linear results
686    o pkg/salt_plume & pkg/thsice:
687      - for coupled  set-up with pkg/thsice in ATM and pkg/salt_plume in OCN,
688        connect salt_plume flux to ATM-OCN coupling pkgs interface:
689       a) in ATM: also cumulate salt-plume flux in S/R THSICE_SALT_PLUME (for
690         export to coupler interface) even without compiling pkg/salt_plume ;
691       b) in OCN: apply coupler salt-plume flux to pkg/salt_plume field
692         (saltPlumeFlux) just before exch call, in S/R SALT_PLUME_DO_EXCH.
693    o pkg/dic:
694      - use the updated seaice fraction (from seaice pkgs) for DIC forcing
695        instead of the previous time-step value ; done in new S/R DIC_FIELDS_UPDATE
696        called from the top of dic_biotic_forcing.F (instead of in DIC_FIELDS_LOAD);
697      - move also update with values from ATM-OCN Coupler in the same new S/R
698        (previously done in ocn_apply_import.F).
699    o tools/adjoint_options:
700      - specify explicitly "-f77" or "-f90" in default ad-optfile since TAF (default)
701        has been changed on Jan 14, 2016.
702    o pkg/ggl90:
703      - add alternative discretisation of vertical shear (off by default), to
704        compute the mean (@ grid-cell center) of vertical shear compon instead of
705        vertical shear of mean flow (@ grid-cell center).
706      - add correct parenthesis in ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH code to get the same truncated
707        results on adjacent faces of cubed-sphere grids; this fix the restart.
708    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
709      - skip time-ave over cpl_atmSendFrq of Sea-Level Pressure (atmSLPr) and just
710        pass last value, stored directly before export to CPL ;
711        Note: this affects results of Coupled set-up where OCN uses useImportSLP=T
712      - remove atmSLPr from pickup files (no longer needed for restart)
713    
714    checkpoint65s (2016/01/13)
715    o eesupp & genmake2:
716       - first check for Function ETIME and, if it fails, then check for subroutine
717         ETIME and consistent output; use the appropriate version in timers.F
718    o model/src:
719      - to check restart test, add option to apply EXCH to U,V earlier, just before
720        integr_continuity; turned off by default.
721    o pkg/dic:
722      - remove CPP option USE_ATMOSCO2 (not needed)
723    o tools/tst_2+2:
724      - try to ignore difference between +0 and -0 in binary file, causing test
725        to fail for no good reason.
726    o eesupp & genmake2:
727      - put back modif from Jinxuan Zhu - change etime fct call to S/R call -
728        but also check (in genmake2) that test runs and returns meaningful results.
729    o coupler pkgs:
730      Finish implementation of optionally-exchanged variable switches (started on
731       Nov 12) with addition of few more exchanged fields, including 2-way exchange
732       of pkg/thsice vars to allow to use seaice dynamics (from pkg/seaice) & seaice
733       advection in OCN component; this requires sequential coupling.
734      coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler):
735      - add argument msgUnit and iter number to CPL_SEND/RECV_ATM/OCN_FIELDS
736        routines (useful for debug).
737      - only export/import optionally exchanged fields (RunOff, seaice, Salt-Plume
738         flux, DIC fields) if corresponding switch is ON.
739      - add option to export RunOff to OCN (to use for DIC river input)
740      - add 2-way thSIce vars exchange; check for consistent cpl_sequential setting.
741      components (pkg/atm_ & ocn_compon_interf):
742      - to save memory space in ATM & OCN comp: add some #ifdef ALLOW_${PKG} around
743        optionally exchanged fields; add a check & stop in cpl_readparms.F.
744        ATMCPL.h: ALLOW_LAND for RunOff, ALLOW_THSICE for seaice, ALLOW_AIM for CO2;
745        OCNCPL.h: ALLOW_SALT_PLUME, ALLOW_DIC for DIC, ALLOW_THSICE for 2-W thsice.
746      - rename:   fracIce     -> sIceFrac_cpl (<- match coupler var name)
747        + in ATM: fracIceTime -> sIceFracTime ; seaIceTime -> sIceMassTime.
748      - add 2-way thSIce vars exchange ; add Salt-Plume flux ; add RunOff in OCN.
749      - hold in common block coupler optionally-exchanged variable switch
750        and set default "useImportXXX" accordingly; + check & stop if inconsistent.
751      - add diagnostics for all imported fields from coupler (in both OCN & ATM);
752        this is intended to replace the OCN cplFldtave.* output files (not updated
753        to contain new additional exchanged fields).
754    o pkg/dic:
755      - fix an other bug (also from 2014/08/30) in dic_atmos.F, in dic_int1=3 code.
756    o pkg/thsice:
757      - when coupled to ATM (useCoupler) with thSIce_skipThermo=T, skip reading
758        and writing of thsice pickup files.
759    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
760      - move all field individual export-call out of cpl_export_import_data.F
761        into new S/R ATM_EXPORT_FIELDS
762    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
763      - store state variables (for now, only thSIce fields) just before beeing
764        exported (in cpl_export_import_data.F, like on ocean side) instead of from
765        atm_store_my_data.F like all exported fluxes.
766      - new version of pickup_cpl: write field names into meta file and read meta
767        file to find field postion in pickup. Also only write/read fields meeded for
768        restart (same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch)
769    o pkg/dic:
770      - fix bug (added on 2014/08/30) in dic_atmos.F for the case dic_int1= 2 or 3.
771    o pkg/seaice: add new parameter SEAICEpressReplFac to choose between
772        pressure replacement method (=1., default) or original Hibler (1979) (=0.)
773        value can be from domain [0,1] to average between the two methods
774    o pkg/atm_phys:
775      - allow to provide 2-d map of albedo and mixed-layer depth from files (but
776        hold fixed in time).
777    
778    checkpoint65r (2015/12/21)
779    o pkg/seaice:
780        fix bug in tridiagonal solvers for SEAICE_OLx/y>0, this affects the JFNK
781        solver (offline.dyn_jfnk) and global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice -> updated
782    o pkg/seaice:
783      - fix a bug in computing areaS in (J-J -> J-1) that affects runs
784        when SEAICEscaleSurfStress=.TRUE.,
785      - apply areaW and areaS in S/R seaice_calc_lhs
786    o pkg/atm_phys:
787      - add diagnostics for 3-D, Nr+1 levels diagnostics of radiative fluxes
788        (shortwave & longwave, net & downward) and diagnostics of temp. tendency
789        for individual contribution (convection, LSC cond, radiation)
790      - add Ruth Geen etal, GRL 2016, radiation options (see paper supp.
791        information); activated with: solar_exponent=0. and wv_exponent=-1.
792    o pkg/ggl90:
793      - within IDEMIX add upper limit for horizontal group velocity to
794        avoid instability problems in the explicit horizontal diffusion term for
795        long time steps or high resolution
796    o pkg/diagnostics:
797      - simplify setting of local-array size in diagstats_output.F: uses "numLevels"
798        (from DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h) to allow to write out more than Nr levels.
799    o testreport:
800      - remove "-v" (verbose option) in default mpirun command.
801    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth:
802      - catch potential division by zero in ITD code, does not change
803        verification results
804    o pkg/ecco:
805      - retire old codes to the Attic. The calls to retired functions are
806        left in a commented form in case they ever need to be re-activated.
807      - ecco_check.F: issue warning if any old CPP option is
808        defined that corresponds to retired codes -- then stop.
809    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
810      - change seaice fraction (use for OCN dic surf.flux) stored and sent to
811        coupler: use last time-step value instead of average over cplSendFrq_iter
812        time-step, similar to what is done for seaIceMass.
813        This will affect results (pkg/dic) of coupled ATM-OCN+dic set-up.
814    o eesupp & genmake2:
815      - from Jinxuan Zhu: change etime fct call to S/R call (fix gfortran ETIME);
816        <= remove until a fix is found for some ifort version on ia32 machine.
817    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp:
818      - refine residual computation
819    
820    checkpoint65q (2015/11/18)
821    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp:
822      - fix residual computations so that they no longer affect the actual
823        simulation code
824      - fix seaice_readparams to be able to actually set new parameters
825        SEAICEaEVPcStar and SEAICEaEVPalphaMin, also fix logic a little
826    o model/src:
827      - fix wrong truncation (single prec) from "FLOAT" function in expressions
828        like: deltaT*FLOAT(myIter) when myIter is large:
829         a) replaced by DFLOAT (if not seen by TAF);
830         b) remove "FLOAT" and use implicit type conversion (if seen by TAF).
831    o pkg/aim_v23:
832      - write/read the expected CO2 pickups (from S/R AIM_DO_CO2): fix reading
833        when pickupSuff is set ; do write rolling pickups + at the end of the run.
834    o pkg/atm_ocn_coupler + ocn_compon_interf:
835      - in prep for using pkg/seaice Dyn in coupled set-up, implement sequential
836        coupling option-1: ATM -(cpl)-> OCN and then OCN -(cpl)-> ATM ;
837        add corresponding call in DO_OCEANIC_PHYS.
838    o coupler pkgs:
839      Start a new way to set-up optionally-exchanged variables (previously, only
840       there for exchange_DIC): switch on/off from 1 place, at run-time, in coupler
841       data.cpl (new) instead of at compile time in ATMIDS.h & OCNIDS.h ;
842       send switch to ATM & OCN compon before reading their own "data.cpl" (so that
843       compononent param default can be set accordingly).
844      Note: this new switch (cpl_exchange_[xxx]) is not a per variable switch
845       but rather applies to a group a fields (going both ways like for DIC)
846       and corresponds to an option of coupling config.
847      coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler):
848      - change parameter file from "data" to "data.cpl" (in cpl_read_params.F),
849        and read namelist directly (without eessup S/R calls) instead of
850        in the very un-flexible old way, 1 param per line, in fixed order;
851      - add error-counter to track errors (e.g., missing "data.cpl") and to stop
852        cleanly in CPL_CHECK_CPLCONFIG
853      - add new coupling-exchange selectors (some not yet active) including
854        cpl_exchange_DIC (to set to 3 to replace atmCpl_exchange_DIC=T in ATMIDS.h
855                                             and ocnCpl_exchange_DIC=T in OCNIDS.h);
856      - add 2 new S/R (CPL_SEND_ATM/OCN_CPLPARMS) to send coupler-params to each
857        component ; called directly from coupler.F, after comp. registrations;
858      - rename few variable-ID names (in ATMIDS.h & OCNIDS.h):
859         atm/ocnSeaIceName --> atm/ocnSIceMassName ; atm/ocnFCO2Name ->
860          -> atm/ocnCO2FluxName ; atm/ocnWSpdName --> atm/ocnWindSpdName
861      components (pkg/atm_ & ocn_compon_interf):
862      - add ATM/OCN_CPL_OPTIONS.h in component pkgs and include the corresponding
863        CPP header file in all pkg source files.
864      - move checking of comp. configs out of cpl_exch_configs.F into new S/R
865        ATM/OCN_CHECK_CPLCONFIG;
866      - add error-counter to track errors (e.g., in "data.cpl") and to stop
867        cleanly in ATM/OCN_CHECK_CPLCONFIG;
868      - add new S/R CPL_IMPORT_CPLPARMS to import coupling-exchange selectors
869        from coupler ; called from initialise_fixed.F, after PACKAGES_BOOT and
870        before PACKAGES_READPARMS;
871      verification/cpl_aim+ocn/:
872      - update ATMIDS.h & OCNIDS.h (in shared_code) and use new parameter file
873        "data.cpl" for coupler (in input_cpl).
874    o eesupp/inc:
875      - change the MPI-global-sum default (in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h) to:
876        #define GLOBAL_SUM_ORDER_TILES (only affects MPI built of global_sum_tile.F)
877        to always cumulate tile local-sum in the same order (still uses
878        MPI_Allreduce like standard code).
879      - in verification experiment code, remove local CPP_EEOPTIONS.h_mpi files
880        that are now identical to standard version (in eesupp/inc).
881    o pkg/shelfice:
882      - add SHELFICETransCoeffTFile for initializing spatially varying
883        heat and salt transfer coefficients
884    o pkg/atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf:
885      - combine into 1 (new) S/R CPL_EXPORT_IMPORT_DATA the two previous
886        S/R CPL_EXPORT_MY_DATA & CPL_IMPORT_EXTERNAL_DATA
887      - move bi,bj loops inside S/R OCN_STORE_MY_DATA
888    o pkg/atm_ocn_coupler:
889      - initialise to zero ATMVARS.h & OCNVARS.h arrays.
890    o pkg/rbcs:
891      - select RBCS-mask for Temp & Salt the same way as for pTracer ; this allows
892        to compile with maskLEN=1 when all tracers use the same RBCS-mask.
893      - add a short report (to STDOUT) about RBCS-mask settings.
894    
895    checkpoint65p (2015/10/23)
896    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: fix store directives and key computations, since
897        there is no adjoint test for EVP, we don't know what it does to the adjoint
898        solution, but at least there are no more recomputation warnings left
899    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: slight modification of averaging so that EVP stands
900        a chance of giving the same results as a fully converged VP (JFNK) solver
901    o tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_diva:
902      - fix bug (typo) in Tang-Linear FLAGS setting for MPI + DIVA
903    o pkg/streamice:
904      - spotted bug in streamice_driving_stress using dyG where should have been dxG
905    o pkg/exf:
906      - remove STOP statement that prevented to use wind or (wind-)stress
907        interpolation for constant-in-time forcing fields (wind/stress period = 0).
908    o pkg/seaice:
909      - replace SEAICE_EVP_USE_ADAPTATION by run time parameters, requires
910        5 additionals 2D fields and 6 new store directives
911      - change logic in seaice_readparms.F: EVP code can now be turned on in
912        various ways, setting SEAICE_deltaTev is no longer required,
913        alternatively set SEAICE_evpAlpha/Beta, SEAICEuseEVPstar, SEAICEuseEVPrev,
914        or SEAICEaEVPcoeff
915    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F
916      - redefining uLoc/vLoc to u/v, instead of 2u/v
917    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: introduce "adaptive EVP" by Madlen Kimmritz
918      - this is an intermediate state of a truely converging EVP that has
919        the potential of outperforming implicit VP methods, I do not recommend
920        using it yet.
921      - for now, "adaptive EVP" is turned on by setting SEAICE_EVP_USE_ADAPTATION
922        and all parameters are hardwired
923      - for convergence it still requires very smooth regularisations, that means,
924        if SEAICE_DELTA_SMOOTHREG is defined, deltaCreg=deltaC+deltaMin, which is
925        different from the VP case with deltaCreg=sqrt(deltaC**2+deltaMin**2); also
926        specific averaging appears to be required, still subject to tuning
927      - still needs cleaning and I need to turn parameter into runtime parameters
928      - add code to compute and print residuals of iteration, compile with
929        defining ALLOW_SEAICE_EVP_RESIDUAL to enable it
930    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: fix a bug (factor of four in front of e12Csq)
931      that entered with r1.54 on Sep04, 2015, -> update results
932    
933    checkpoint65o (2015/09/14)
934    o pkg/mom_vecinv & mom_common:
935      - add deep-atmosphere geometry factor in mom_calc_visc.F + in routines
936        called from there.
937      - add anelastic and deep-atmosphere geometry factor in pkg/mom_vecinv ; this
938        allows to use Vector-Invariant form in deep atmos and anelastic formulation
939    o pkg/seaice: introduce fast ice parameterisation following Itkin et al. (2015)
940      and Koenig-Beatty+Holland (2012)
941      - two new parameters SEAICE_tensilFac and SEAICE_tensilDepth
942      - global 2D field tensileStrength, computed in seaice_calc_ice_strength
943      - requires an extra input argument for S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
944      - tensileStrength's depth dependence is different from Itkin et al. (2015)
945        (to be changed and played with, for now exponential)
946    o pkg/seaice: introduce new parameter SEAICEscaleSurfStress (default = .FALSE.)
947      - if TRUE scale ice-ocean and ice-atmosphere stress acting on sea ice
948        by AREA according to Connelly et al. (2004), JPO.
949      - For EVP and the LSR solver, the implicit part of the drag term is
950        the only non-zero term in the denominator when there is no ice (which
951        prevented running the model with zero ice-ocean drag). If
952        SEAICEscaleSurfStress = .TRUE., this results in a division by zero
953        (or zero main diagonals BU/BV) which need to be caught. A practical
954        consequence is that for open water, the momentum equation reduce
955        to trivially 0 = 0 + 0 (for EVP). For LSR, BU/BV are reset to 1, if
956        they happen to be zero, often leading to a non-zero solution over
957        open water.
958    o pkg/seaice: revise EVP code (seaice_evp.F) in preparation for a more
959        efficient EVP method.
960      - introduce area-weighted averages for e12 (analogously to
961        seaice_calc_viscosities.F); this totally changes lab_sea.hb87 (2 digits
962        remain, but also changing the order of terms in the previous average
963        changed the results as much) -> update experiment
964      - add SEAICE_DELTA_SMOOTHREG code
965      - disentangle computation of zetaC/deltaC and zetaZ/deltaZ, also for
966        TEM-code
967      - adjust loop bounds so that only required fields are computed
968      - add new averaging code for zetaZ/deltaZ (again similar to
969        seaice_calc_viscosities.F), inactive by default for now (will change
970        results again), but will replace old code eventually
971    o eesupp/src:
972      - add an other alternative for multi-proc GLOBAL_SUM (in global_sum_tile.F)
973        to always cumulate tile local-sum in the same order
974        (option #define GLOBAL_SUM_ORDER_TILES in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h).
975        Still uses MPI_Allreduce (like standard code) but on array of tiles
976        and should be faster than GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV code.
977      - switch almost all verification experiments that use GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV
978        (defined in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h_mpi) to GLOBAL_SUM_ORDER_TILES instead.
979      - add CPP_EEOPTIONS.h_mpi with GLOBAL_SUM_ORDER_TILES defined in 14 more exp.:
980         aim.5l_cs, cheapAML_box, deep_anelastic, dome, fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
981         fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, global_ocean_ebm, matrix_example,
982         natl_box, solid-body.cs-32x32x1, tutorial_advection_in_gyre,
983         tutorial_baroclinic_gyre and tutorial_held_suarez_cs.
984    
985    checkpoint65n (2015/07/29)
986    o pkg/thsice:
987      - add a warning when used with pkg/aim but without updating SST
988        (stepFwd_oceMxL=F & useCoupler=F & tauRelax_MxL<>-1 ).
989    o pkg/offline:
990      - change where Offline-Fields are loaded, from load_fields_driver.F to
991        directly within FORWARD_STEP, just after updating iter number and time;
992      - move setting of GM and KPP diffusivity out of OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD into new
993        S/R OFFLINE_GET_DIFFUS that is called towards the end of DO_OCEANIC_PHYS;
994       These changes allow:
995        a) to recover exactly on-line results using deltaToffline=deltaTClock,
996        tested (using offlineIter0= nIter0 -1 and offlineTimeOffset= -deltaT/2)
997        both with Lin & Non-Lin Free-Surf, both with staggerTimeStep & synchronous
998        time-step, both with GM & KPP files and with recomputing these fields;
999        b) no needs to switch on staggerTimeStep anymore;
1000        c) simplify rescaling of offline horiz. velocity with Non-Lin Free-Surf.
1001      - update output of experiment tutorial_dic_adjoffline (only 3 digits left).
1002    o pkg/offline:
1003      - change (rarely used) offset-iteration parameter to an offset time (in s):
1004        can easily recover previous offset-iter effect by setting offset-time
1005        (offlineTimeOffset) to offset-iter x deltaToffline;
1006      - do not turn-off Temp & Salinity surface relaxation when using KPP (used
1007        in KPP as part of surface buoyancy forcing) in offline run.
1008      - fix ptracers KPP non-local term in the case where KPP is re-computed.
1009    o OpenAD
1010      - Adding preliminary ggl90 test to OpenAD verification.
1011        Config. with ggl90 currently diverges after 64 time steps
1012        so will need more work to become more stable
1013      - Adding preliminary kpp test to OpenAD verification.
1014        required small tweakes in kpp_routines.F
1015      - Merge and update from Krishna Narayanan's contrib area:
1016        * Add one variable for preliminary OpenAD DIVA
1017        * Add replacement time-stepping for OpenAD DIVA
1018        * genmake2 flag -diva (but only for OpenAD; preliminary)
1019        * required modifs for OAD_support
1020        successful preliminary test for tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/
1021    o pkg/seaice:
1022      - initialise deltaC in seaice_lsr, cosmetic changes in seaice_lsr
1023      - add cpp-flag SEAICE_DELTA_SMOOTHREG for option of regularising
1024        delta with a smooth function in s/r seaice_calc_viscosity
1025        (no effect on EVP)
1026      - rename local suffix "sqr" into "sq" for more consistent variable names
1027    o pkg/seaice:
1028        add new parameter SEAICE_deltaMin that is used ***only***
1029        for regularizing Delta (and nothing else, like the parameter
1030        which is also used for all sorts of things SEAICE_EPS).
1031        Defaults to SEAICE_EPS for backward compatibility only.
1032    o pkg/seaice: replace erroneously storing e12Csqr on the wrong tape with
1033        the wrong key by inialising it before use -> fixes a recomputation
1034        problem but does not fix the gradient
1035    o pkg/layers:
1036      - move resetting of flux arrays to outside the iLa loop
1037        (this caused layers_diapycnal to not work with more than one layer coord.)
1038      - fix bug in calculation of layers_recip_delta in layers_init_fixed.F
1039    o pkg/layers:
1040      - remove from common block 3D layers fields (used to diagnose transport
1041        in tracer coords) and declare them as local arrays in layers_calc.F
1042    o pkg/seaice:
1043      - Rename SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA to SEAICE_LSR_ZEBRA and define it
1044        in lab_sea forward experiment (changes results -> updated)
1045      - update adjoint experiment lab_sea after cleaning up seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1046    o pkg/seaice: modify seaice_lsr.F in order to improve the gradient
1047       computations; for SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR
1048      - move the loops over which the tridiagonal solvers (seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v)
1049        sweep to the outside,
1050      - remove store directives and add "CADJ loop sequential" directives
1051        in analogy to model/src/solve_tridiagonal.F
1052      - replace many "#ifdef SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA" by variable loop
1053        boundaries to yield more readable code. This has also the charming side
1054        effect that your can use SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA without
1055        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR (i.e. adjoint without recomputations in
1056        seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v now requires either of these flags, vectorization
1057        still requires SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR with SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA as
1058        an additional option)
1059       The tridiagonal solvers are now completely analoguous to solve_tridiagonal.F
1060       but the adjoint gradients (which are affected by this change) still explode.
1061    o coupler (atm & ocn _compon_interf):
1062      - avoid using Exch2 IO mapping if not suitable.
1063    
1064    checkpoint65m (2015/06/15)
1065    o pkg/layers:
1066      - clean-up old parameters setting (from Sep 2012):
1067        + remove old parameters setting from common block (declared locally);
1068        + stop if any old parameter is mixed with new parameters;
1069        + check for valid or consistent parameter setting (e.g., layers_name)
1070      - check that layers_bounds for Pot.Density are in the right range;
1071        this is supposed to catch un-updated setting after recently shifting
1072        potential density field "prho" by -1000 (now in "sigma" scale).
1073    o pkg/layers:
1074      - Added missing call to layers_fill for keeping track of tottend in
1075        pkg/diagnostics/diagnostics_fill_state.F
1076    o pkg/layers:
1077      - added CPP flux LAYERS_FINEGRID_DIAPYCNAL to disable fine-grid binning
1078        of diapycnal fluxes
1079    o pkg/layers:
1080      - reverted changes to interpolation to previous treatment; there
1081        was never actually a problem
1082    o pkg/layers:
1083      - fix interpolation of layers tracers in the presence of partial cells
1084      - add lots of new functionality to compute water mass transformation
1085        (enabled by CPP flag LAYERS_THERMODYNAMICS)
1086      - add new calls from main code (diags_oceanic_surf_flux.F,
1087        thermodynamics.F, impldiff.F) and gad to save the necessary fields
1088        for layers_thermodynamics calculations
1089    o pkg/ptracers:
1090      - add capability of stepping a passive tracer forward without advection
1091        by setting PTRACERS_advScheme to 0.
1092    o pkg/diagnostics:
1093      - add few (threads) _BARRIER around any update of "diag_pkgStatus".
1094    o pkg/layers:
1095      - shift potential density field "prho" by -1000 for density layer averaging so
1096        that it corresponds to usual "sigma" definition (i.e., rho(p=const)-1000);
1097        Note that density bin boundaries (layers_bounds in data.layers) have
1098        to be set accordingly (i.e., shifted, in sigma scale).
1099    o pkg/layers:
1100      - fix snap-shot output of layer thickness @ V.pt and output of pot.density
1101      - fix calculation of layer non-weighted velocity and layer probability
1102      - add diagnostics for pot.density used for layer averaging
1103    o pkg/seaice:
1104      - seaice_calc_viscosity.F: change computation of deltaC**2 to ensure
1105        positiveness, modify a few comments and improve variable names,
1106      - the changed computation of deltaC affects most seaice-related
1107        experiments at the truncation level.
1108        seaice_itd.thermo is affected by far the most, with
1109        only 7 digits of agreement remaining; update experiments.
1110    
1111    checkpoint65l (2015/05/04)
1112    o pkg/shelfice:
1113      - in shelfice_thermodynamics.F, if SHELFICEBoundaryLayer=.true., then set
1114        factor drKp1 to zero where it is negative (ie. do not use
1115        SHELFICEBoundaryLayer if hFacC>1)
1116      - the same for factor drLoc in shelfice_forcing.F
1117    o tools/genmake2: move FEXTRAFLAGS from FFLAGS to FOPTIM to avoid a problem
1118        with modules in ptracers, when using testreport option "-small_f"
1119    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F (in case of SEAICE_ITD)
1120      - replace tmpscal1**1.36 by faster exp(1.36*log(tmpscal1))
1121    o verification/testreport
1122      - add new option -small_f
1123        with this option testreport first makes the target small_f (*.f files)
1124        before running make (all). This is useful for explicit inlining when
1125        all sources need to be full available.
1126    o pkg/exf/exf_interp.F:
1127        remove previous changes related to reverse (decreasing) input grids latitude
1128    
1129    checkpoint65k (2015/04/01)
1130    o pkg/ecco:
1131        fix missing cosphi initialization; use eccoiter in place of optimcycle;
1132        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
1133        instead of active read/write
1134    o pkg/ctrl:
1135        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
1136        instead of active read/write.
1137    o pkg/autodiff: make autodiff_readparms.F and autodiff_whtapeio_sync.F
1138        return if .NOT.useAUTODIFF
1139    o pkg/seaice: add CPP brackets (cost function related).
1140    o model/src:
1141        add useAUTODIFF run time switch.
1142    o pkg/exf/exf_interp.F:
1143        add code to allow input grids with latitude starting in the north (i.e. when
1144        j=1 corresponds to northern edge of field); modify global_with_exf to test
1145        this feature.
1146    o verification/testreport:
1147      - replace "grep -A3" with POSIX conformal sed command, because there are
1148        implementations of grep that cannot do contextual searches
1149      - replace "cat -n" by "nl" (two occurrences), because not all implementations
1150        of "cat" have the option "-n"
1151    o model/src:
1152        add new file gsw_teos10.F that contains 3 functions, more or less a copy
1153        of the gsw_toolbox.f90 of the TEOS-10 fortran interface, that are used to
1154        convert from conservative to potential temperature. For now they are not
1155        called anywhere.
1156    o pkg/ggl90: make "useIDEMIX" useful
1157      - re-organize code in s/r ggl90_calc a little to move computations that
1158        are different for idemix into separate loops (changes verification
1159        experiment idemix at truncation level, 12 digits remain -> updated)
1160      - requires 2 new 2D fields KappaM, verticalShear
1161      - make hFacI and recip_hFacI local 3D variables that are passed to
1162        s/r ggl90_idemix
1163      - fix and improve some comments
1164    
1165    checkpoint65j (2015/02/25)
1166    o pkg/openad
1167      - synchronize seawater.F with version in model/src: replace routine
1168        body of sw_temp by calling sw_ptmp and fix/add a few comments.
1169    o pkg/mnc:
1170      - change default value of pickup_read/write_mnc params to FALSE
1171        (since few features are missing in reading MNC pickup files).
1172    o model/src:
1173      - change default (background) vertical diffusivity for salt to be the
1174        temperature (background) vertical diffusivity.
1175      - change background vertical diffusivity in vertical mixing pkgs ggl90,
1176        kl10, my82 and pp81 from temperature diffusivity to salinity diffusivity.
1177        This makes ptracers default diffusivity (that uses salt diffKr) more
1178        consistent with vertical mixing schemes.
1179    o verification/testreport:
1180      - fix typo in "-pcls" option ;
1181      - put temp files in /tmp (instead of in local dir)
1182      - add option "-ncad" to use genmake2 new option "-nocat4ad"
1183      - allow to use "-j" option (for multi-procs make) for AD, OAD and TLM.
1184    o pkg/ggl90 (idemix code):
1185      - apply few fixes ; add some missing "_d 0" ; update output of exp.
1186        global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
1187    o OpenAD
1188      - enable active file I/O and begin removal of work-around code
1189        for OpenAD for handling control variables (memory vs. active files)
1190      - new CPP options file OPENAD_OPTIONS.h
1191      - revert to genarr2d gradient check for hs94.1x64x5
1192      - (genarr3d tested by tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_tracer_adjsens)
1193      - gentim2d works for halfpipe_streamice but not yet hs94.1x64x5
1194    o tools/genmake2:
1195      - add option for an alternative Makefile (from Martin) where multiple
1196        source files are sent to TAF (instead of all in one file).
1197    o pkg/ggl90: add IDEMIX (Olbers and Eden, 2013)
1198      - code provided by Carsten Eden as an extension of ggl90
1199      - so far the code is turned on within ggl90 by setting a CPP-flag at
1200        compile time; a runtime flag implementation is not yet complete
1201      - tested in new verification experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
1202    o verification:
1203      - reduce length of the AD test run by half for experiments
1204        global_ocean.cs32x15 (std + thsice) and isomip
1205      - enable active file I/O for OpenAD, adjust verifications accordingly
1206      - halfpipe_streamice: change gradient check from genarr2d to gentim2d
1207    o verification/testreport:
1208      - fix two non-POSIX sed statements so that there are no error messages
1209        on Mac OS X
1210      - replace hostname -s with hostname | sed 's/\..*$//'
1211    o model/src/seawater.F:
1212      - simplify SW_TEMP to just calling SW_PTMP with P and PR exchanged
1213        (following the matlab code), which would have avoided the bug caught
1214        by Matt (see below) in the first place
1215    o pkg/shelfice:
1216      - implement alternative discretisation of quadratic drag (selectBotDragQuadr)
1217        and true distance in no-slip BC (bottomVisc_pCell) similar to bottom-drag.
1218      - fix sign of friction tendency (no-slip BC) and fix u,v drag for thin
1219        ice-shelf case (i.e., within surface level).
1220      - add config summary in shelfice_check.F
1221      - remove global variable recip_SHELFICElatentHeat and replace by a local
1222        variable recip_latentHeat
1223      - introduce diagnostics for friction velocity uStar (in case of
1224        SHELFICEuseGammaFrict)
1225      - change verification experiment isomip.htd:
1226        + start from pickup (as input_ad at nIter0=8640)
1227        + start from SHELFICEmassFile instead of SHELFICEloadAnomaly file
1228        + test SHELFICEuseGammaFrict = .TRUE.
1229        + test SHELFICEadvDiffHeatFlux = .TRUE.
1230    o model/src:
1231      - fix bug (Thanks to Matt) in function SW_TEMP (to convert Pot.Temp to
1232        in-situ Temp) and in routine SW_TEMP (in pkg/openad);
1233        update output of experiments global_with_exf.yearly and isomip (all 6).
1234    o pkg/shelfice:
1235      - change setting of kTopC to also be zero where there is no ice-shelf.
1236      - zero out surface forcing arrays (for now, for T & S + EmPmR) where
1237        ice-shelf is.
1238      - first attempt to get RealFreshWaterFlux effects: for now, only without
1239        SHELFICEboundaryLayer ; not consistent if using synchronous time-stepping.
1240    o pkg/seaice: add the option to prescribe a fixed thickness PDF
1241      for thermodynamic calculations
1242      - because of divisions of the type 7/7 not exactly equal to 1, this change
1243        affects results of some verification experiments by up to 4 digits:
1244        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice, lab_sea, lab_sea.fd, lab_sea.salt_plume,
1245        seaice_obcs, seaice_obcs.seaiceSponge, seaice_obcs.tides
1246        adjoint: lab_sea, lab_sea.noseaicedyn
1247        -> updated
1248    
1249    checkpoint65i (2015/01/23)
1250    o model/src:
1251      - change units of frictionHeating field from W to W/m^2
1252      - fix bug in frictional heating from stratospheric drag in
1253        S/R ATM_PHYS_TENDENCY_APPLY_V
1254      - with synchronous time-stepping: move resetting to zero of frictionHeating
1255        field from load_fields_driver.F to thermodynamics.F ;
1256      - add diagnostics for frictional heating.
1257    o model/src & gmredi K3D:
1258      - add frictionHeating field to pickup-files (for synchronous time-stepping)
1259      - move ALLOW_EDDYPSI block out of DYNVARS.h and merge it into FFIELDS.h
1260      - rename uMean,vMean --> uEulerMean,vEulerMean (+ change diagnostics name
1261        and name in pickup file).
1262      - fix arguments of few DIAGNOSTICS_FILL calls in gmredi_k3d.F
1263    o model/src:
1264      - move (from ini_forcing.F) initialisation of all arrays in header file
1265        FFIELDS.h into new S/R ini_ffields.F ; this fix broken restart
1266        (since Nov 2012) with option selectAddFluid=1.
1267    o pkg/shelfice:
1268      - change units (+ document) of newly added field "shelfIceMassDynTendency"
1269      - upgrade from _RS to _RL shelficeMass & shelficeLoadAnomaly arrays.
1270    o pkg/obcs: re-organize obcs_calc_stevens.F to prepare for passive tracers
1271    o pkg/seaice: two new runtime parameters:
1272      - SEAICE_cStar replaces the hard wired "20" in the strength formulation,
1273        long overdue
1274      - SEAICE_tensilFac: preparation for Koenig-Beatty+Holland (2012)
1275        parameterization of tensil stress for fast ice (does not do anything yet)
1276    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: left over from restricted addtive Schwarz method
1277        for LSR: move checking overlaps out of JFNK-if-block
1278    o pkg/atm_phys:
1279      - move copy of grid and dynamical fields out of atm_phys_driver.F into
1280        new S/R ATM_PHYS_DYN2PHYS.
1281      - fix level height for Linear Free-Surf case (to be consistent with
1282        fixed-in-time pressure levels).
1283    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
1284      - average bottomDragFld (ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL) from grid-cell center
1285        to correct location (U & V point) in S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
1286        update output (adm & tlm) of experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.bottomdrag.
1287    o pkg/shelfice (u/v_drag):
1288      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG;
1289      - use SHELFICEDragLinear & SHELFICEDragQuadratic in shelfice_v_drag.F
1290        (now similar to shelfice_u_drag.F)
1291      - remove condition on bottomDragTerms when calling SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG
1292        from mom_vecinv.F (similar to mom_fluxform calls).
1293    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
1294      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
1295      - add options for alternative discretisation of velocity norm in quadratic
1296        bottom drag: averaging of grid-cell-center KE to U.point and V.point
1297        (selectBotDragQuadr=0, original code) can produce noisy patterns; this
1298        improves when averaging only the other component (e.g. vVel for U bottom
1299        drag) using wet-point method (selectBotDragQuadr=2) or not (=1).
1300      - add options (bottomVisc_pCell) to account for partial-cell in bottom
1301        friction (no-slip BC) thus getting the true distance from the bottom;
1302        off by default since this also reduces model stability (explicit bottom
1303        friction). Changes produce different machine truncation with linear-drag
1304        + no-slip BC: update output of experiments exp4.stevens (10 digits) and
1305        front_relax (bvp & mxl, 10 & 11 digits).
1306    o model/src & mom pkgs:
1307      - add one more level to vertical viscosity local arrays (Nr+1, previously Nr)
1308        since no-slip bottom BC uses viscosity @ k+1 to update velocity @ level k
1309      - for now and until vertical mixing scheme are updated to fill up level Nr+1,
1310        just copy level Nr value to level Nr+1.
1311    o doc:
1312      - add notes form Abhisek Chakraborty on how to close Heat & Salt budgets.
1313    o pkg/shelfice:
1314      - shelfice_init_varia.F, shelfice_init_fixed.F, shelfice_readparms.F,
1315        SHELFICE.h: move array shelficemass to init_varia, initialise
1316        from array shelficemassinit, which is set in init_fixed and
1317        has option to be set from file; introduce array
1318        shelficeMassDynTend array, set thru file in init_fixed
1319      - NEW FILE: shelfice_step_icemass.F: update shelficemass from either
1320        shelfIceFreshWaterFlux and shelficeMassDynTend or H_streamice in
1321        pkg/streamice
1322      - shelfice_thermodynamics.F: call shelfice_step_icemass if
1323        SHELFICEMassStepping = .true.
1324      - shelfice_ad_diff.list: add new subroutine shelfice_step_icemass.f
1325    
1326    checkpoint65h (2014/12/17)
1327    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15, global_ocean_ebm:
1328      - update to generic controls.
1329    o pkg/ctrl:
1330      - ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F: test for igen>0
1331      - ctrl_init_variables.F: add call to CTRL_MAP_INI_GENTIM2D.
1332      - move gentim2d part of ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F to
1333        new separate routine : ctrl_map_ini_gentim2d.F
1334      - ctrl_cost_driver.F,ctrl_init.F ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
1335        add time variable weights and cyclic controls (time mean,
1336        seasonal cycle, etc) capabilities to gentim2d
1337    o pkg/ecco:
1338      - move reading of error, conversion to weights from
1339        ecco_cost_init_fixed.F to ecco_toolbox.F (ecco_readwei)
1340    o global_oce_llc90, cs32:
1341      - activte sbo.
1342      - CTRL_SIZE.h : add maxCtrlProc.
1343      - activate the new genctrl capabilities.
1344      - update following reorganization of global_oce_input_fields.tar.gz  
1345    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_ad_diff.list:
1346      - add missing ctrl_init_rec.f
1347    o tools/OAD_support/keepOriginal:
1348      - add ctrl_init_rec.F
1349    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
1350      - avoid recomputations of xx_gentim2d_dummy.
1351    o momentum diagnostics:
1352      - move filling of diagnostics Um_Diss & Vm_Diss from mom_fluxform.F and
1353        mom_vecinv.F to timestep.F (to include Smag-3D contribution).
1354    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F:
1355      - fix computation of BU/BV, make sure they are non-zero, only necessary
1356        for cubed sphere exchanges and SEAICE_OLx/y>0.
1357        This makes calling s/r fill_cs_corner_rl obsolete (removed).
1358    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
1359      - add test for strong implicit coupling and restricted addtive Schwarz
1360        methods for LSR
1361      - update results/output.seaice.txt
1362    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1363      - AD & OAD set-up: switch off ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (like in fwd set-up)
1364        and set PTRACERS_EvPrRn(1,2) to zero (for DIC & ALK);
1365        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
1366    o pkg/dic:
1367      - change default to "#undef ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX" in DIC_OPTIONS.h
1368      - add a stop when ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX is defined and PTRACERS_EvPrRn
1369        for tracer 1 & 2 is set (to avoid double counting of dilution effect).
1370    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1371      - AD & OAD set-up: do not set PTRACERS_EvPrRn for tracer 1 & 2 since
1372        dilution is already added by pkg/dic ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX ;
1373        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
1374    o eesupp/src:
1375      - add fill_cs_corner_rl.F (_RL-copy of fill_cs_corner_rs.F)
1376        and call it in seaice_lsr when using nonzero SEAICE_OLx/y
1377    o pkg/seaice: introduce strongly implicit coupling, intended for stabilizing
1378      LSR (following Hutchings et al. 2004)
1379      - introduce zetaZ as a global variable (requires adjustments in
1380        seaice_evp.F and seaice_jfnk.F) and compute analoguously to etaZ
1381        in seaice_calc_viscosities.F
1382      - new flag SEAICEuseStrImpCpl (default off)
1383      - add new terms zetaZ*du/dy and zetaZ*dv/dx on both sides of the
1384        momentum equations
1385      - JFNK-solver (preconditioner) adjusted to allow using this method
1386        (where it does not have any positive effect)
1387    o pkg/seaice
1388      - add overlap for restrictive additive Schwartz method also to LSR, but
1389        turn it off by default (because it only seems to work for non-cubed
1390        sphere/llc topologies)
1391    o pkg/autodiff
1392      - add extra exchanges in addummy_in_steppging also for mnc output
1393    o pkg/seaice:
1394      - add extra exchanges before dumping adjoint fields in seaice_ad_dump.F
1395        to avoid stripes in the adjoint output (similar to addummy_in_stepping.F)
1396    o pkg/obcs:
1397      - add option to specify domain-connected piece Id along OB though files
1398        (for now, only used to diagnose PhiVel; default =1 -> global correction)
1399      - modify obcs_diag_balance.F to process each connected-part separately;
1400        exclude OB where Id = 0 but keep the full divergence there (-> constant
1401        Psi along this portion of OB and all inflow derived from grad(Phi))
1402      - add example of OB-conect files in verification/so_box_biogeo/input.
1403    o pkg/diagnostics:
1404      - improve treatment of Open-Boundaries in Velocity-Potential calculation:
1405      a) use non zero matrix element across OB and solve for Phi 1 grid point
1406         outside OB (i.e, where tracer OBCS are applied).
1407      b) global imbalance of inFlow/outFlow across OB: instead of modifying
1408         velocity across OB, spread it uniformly along the OB in the RHS.
1409    
1410    checkpoint65g (2014/11/19)
1411    o pkg/diagnostcis:
1412      - add preconditioner off-diagonal factor (diagCG_pcOffDFac) as run-time param
1413    o pkg/my82,pp81,kl10:
1414      - fix ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR implementation (previously had no effect): use 3-D
1415        field diffKr as background diffusivity to set minimum diffusivity value.
1416    o pkg/seaice:
1417      - add new parameter SEAICEuseEVPrev (for revisited EVP by
1418        Bouillon et al 2013)
1419      - add SEAICE_evpAlpha/Beta to namelist
1420      - modify seaice_evp code to able to use SEAICEuseEVPrev. These changes
1421        involve trivial re-ordering of divisions/multiplications that should not
1422        have any effects, but ... they do change the results of lab_sea.hb87 so
1423        that only 2 digits of agreement remain, in line with the general
1424        instability/fragility of the evp-code. For now, I do not care and just
1425        update the verification experiment
1426    o pkg/ctrl : add generic pre-processing (xx_genarr2d_preproc etc)
1427      - remove xx_genarr2d_numsmooth etc
1428      - use xx_genarr2d_preproc etc instead
1429      - carry out smooth_correl2D at initialization stage rather than during
1430        time stepping.
1431      - get smoothOpNb from xx_gentim2d_preproc
1432    o global_oce_cs32 :
1433      - add test of generic ecco capabilities.
1434    o pkg/exf/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F :
1435      - add to tmpUE/tmpVN rather than re-initializing them (conventional behavior).
1436    o pkg/ctrl,ecco :
1437      - omit un-necessary arguments to ctrl_cost_gen.F unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED
1438        is defined.
1439    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for Delta (deformation parameter)
1440    o model/src:
1441      - when ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR is defined, add a Warning if any of the vertical
1442        diffusivity (background) is specified but ignored.
1443    o verification:
1444      - in testreport, convert hostname to lower case for default output dir name
1445    o model, pkg : add useCTRL, useECCO parameters (on/off run time switch).
1446    o pkg/dic: add modifications from Hajoon:
1447      - add iron sedimentation flux function of the flux of PO4 out of bottom layer
1448      - light attenuation: add self-shading effect by climatological Chlorophyll
1449        (read from file).
1450    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F : fix cpp flags, so that code also
1451        compiles when SEAICE_ALLOW_DYNAMICS is undefined
1452    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now use separate
1453        AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h, ECCO_OPTIONS.h rather than
1454        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (i.e. replacing the deprecated, circumvoluted,
1455        approach where CPP_OPTIONS.h includes an omnipotent
1456        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h that superseeds pkgs '_OPTIONS.h').
1457    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F : include GMREDI_OPTIONS.h where
1458        ALLOW_3D_KAPGM, ALLOW_3D_KAPREDI (to be added later) belong.
1459    o pkg/seaice/SEAICE_SIZE.h : replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC with ALLOW_AUTODIFF
1460        to avoid needing AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h anytime SEAICE_SIZE.h is included
1461        (it seems that THSICE_SIZE.h, PTRACERS_SIZE.h have the same issue...)
1462    o model/src, pkg/smooth, profiles, salt_plume, seaice, exf, ecco, ctrl :
1463      add ECCO_OPTIONS.h, AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h when needed
1464      - ECCO_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ecco_cost.h, ecco.h
1465      - AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h is needed when including tamc.h, tamc_keys.h
1466      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ctrl.h, optim.h, etc
1467    o pkg/ctrl,ecco,exf :
1468      - remove variables associated with NON-generic costs,
1469        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
1470      - remove NON-generic NON-obcs controls,
1471        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
1472    o pkg/ctrl : added ctrl_local_params.h
1473    o pkg/ecco : added ecco_local_params.h
1474    o verification : added ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED to most as and oad
1475        experiments, which will progressively be removed once the
1476        experiments are revised to use only generic controls/costs.
1477    
1478    checkpoint65f (2014/10/13)
1479    o pkg/ctrl, ecco, seaice : minor changes in headers
1480    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now test generic
1481        cost function and control capabilities added since checkpoint65c.
1482    o pkg/ctrl: regroup all obcs ctrl variables in CTRL_OBCS.h.
1483    o pkg/ecco: increase modularity and improve logic
1484      - ecco_toolbox.F (new) : basic operations that are often used,
1485        including ecco_zero, ecco_cp, ecco_cprsrl, ecco_diffmsk,
1486        ecco_addcost, ecco_add, ecco_div, ecco_readbar.
1487      - cost_gencal.F (new) : determine filnames and records.
1488      - cost_genread.F, cost_generic.F : condense code using ecco_toolbox.
1489      - cost_generic.F : use spzeroloc rather than hard-coded -9999,
1490        and exploit the above functions leading to more compact code.
1491      - cost_genread.F : rm un-necessary arguments, re-arrange args order.
1492      - ecco_check.F, ecco_readparms.F : bring logic up to date (using_tpj,
1493        using_ers, using_gfo, using_mdt is now only defined within gencost)
1494    o pkg/ecco: extend generic cost capabilities
1495      - pkg/ecco : added 3D gencost (ALLOW_GENCOST3D), added gencost
1496        capabilities via gencost_preproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params),
1497        gencost_posproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params), gencost_nrecperiod,
1498        gencost_outputlevel arguments to cost_generic
1499      - pkg/ecco/cost_genread.F (new) : interface between cost_generic
1500        and active_read, making room for gencost_preproc to take effect.
1501        Added preproc code ('climmon') to replace GENERIC_BAR_MONTH.
1502      - pkg/ecco/cost_generic.F :
1503        compute and store misfit maks*(model-data) in localdif that is
1504        then used in cost and for output, output misfit if outlev.GT.0
1505      - pkg/ecco/cost_averagesfields.F : depend on gencost_barskip
1506        rather gencost_barfile for deciding whether to write barfile
1507      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_driver.F : extract call to cost_profiles from cost_hyd
1508      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_init_fixed.F : extract gencost weights from
1509        ecco_cost_weights, re-activate ecco_summary, determine gencost_barskip
1510      - pkg/ecco/ecco_summary.F : report gencost variables
1511      - pkg/ecco/cost_gencost_customize.F : treat case of scatterometer costs
1512    o pkg/sea/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h : add ALLOW_COST_ICE, ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA
1513    o pkg/ecco: internal re-organization
1514      - resolve un-necessary dependancies within pkg/ecco and to pkg/ctrl
1515        (rm includes of optim.h and ctrl.h, replace optimcycle with eccoiter,
1516        mv relevant variables definition from ecco_cost.h to ecco.h,
1517        make sure gencost routines only include ecco.h)
1518      - throughout : add missing CCP switches, rm unused variables,
1519        and rm un-necessary CPP switches
1520      - throughout gencost routines : replace modelstartdate with
1521        gencost_startdate when needed
1522      - cost_bp_read.F : use arguments, instead of common blocs
1523        so that it can be used also by (new) cost_gencost_bpv4.F
1524      - ecco_init_varia.F : initialize RHOsumGlob_0, VOLsumGlob_0
1525      - ecco_phys.F : compute etanFull
1526      - ecco_readparms.F : rename using_topex as using_tpj, add
1527        bpv4-grace to gencost list, initialize added parameters
1528      - ecco_summary.F : include SIZE.h needed for augmented ecco.h
1529    
1530    checkpoint65e (2014/09/28)
1531    o pkg/obcs:
1532      - replaced the just-added CPP options with run-time variables
1533        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_PARAMS.h for details)
1534    o pkg/obcs:
1535      - add additional CPP options for sponge boundary layers
1536        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_OPTIONS.h for details)
1537    o pkg/atm_phys:
1538      - implement simple (obliquity only, assuming circular planet orbit)
1539        seasonal cycle for incoming insolation ; used when run-time parameter
1540        "select_incSW" is set to 1 ; by default (=0), uses old unchanged formula.
1541    o pkg/exf, pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl:
1542      - add ctrlUseGen and .NOT.ctrlUseGen exclusive brackets
1543      - activate gentim2d for xx_atemp,xx_aqh,xx_swdown,xx_lwdown,xx_precip
1544      - implement gentim2d for xx_tauu, xx_tauv
1545    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/ecco :
1546      - fix and complement the generic controls implementation
1547    o pkg/exf/exf_getclim.F, exf_getffields.F, exf_getsurfacefluxes.F,
1548        pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F,
1549        verification/hs94.1x64x5/code_ad/ctrl_map_gentim2d.F,
1550        verification/hs94.1x64x5/code_oad/ctrl_map_gentim2d.F :
1551      - add weight in CTRL_GET_GEN calls
1552    o pkg/ctrl :
1553      - ctrl_get_gen.F : add weight as input parameter, and apply
1554        it directly rather than using smooth_correl2Dw (to be retired).
1555      - ctrl_map_gentim2d.F : add wgentim2d in CTRL_GET_GEN call
1556    o pkg/ctrl :
1557      - introduce run time switch ctrlUseGen (in ctrl.h, ctrl_check.F,
1558        ctrl_init_variables.F, ctrl_readparms.F, ctrl_summary.F)
1559      - re-activate ctrl_summary (call in ctrl_init.F)
1560    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_cost_gen.F :
1561      - fix CCP brackets, remove un-necessary myiter, mytime
1562    o pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl :
1563      - remove cost_genctrl.F (now pkg/ctrl/ctrl_cost_driver.F)
1564      - remove cost_forcing_gen.F (now pkg/ctrl/ctrl_cost_gen2d.F)
1565      - add ctrl_cost_driver.F (replaces pkg/ecco/cost_genctrl.F)
1566      - add ctrl_cost_gen2d.F (replaces pkg/ecco/cost_forcing_gen.F)
1567    
1568    checkpoint65d (2014/09/15)
1569    o pkg/ctrl/CTRL_GENARR.h, ctrl_readparms.F :
1570      - add xx_genarr2d_bounds,xx_genarr3d_bounds,
1571        xx_genarr2d_numsmooth, xx_genarr3d_numsmooth
1572    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F :
1573      - remove compilation failure
1574      - replace hard coded example
1575      - use ctrl_map_ini_gen2D, 3D
1576    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F :
1577      - on/off switch based upon xx_genarr2d_weight,3d
1578    o src/packages_init_variables.F :
1579      - regroup pkg/estimation calls
1580      - remove CTRL_MAP_INI, CTRL_MAP_INI_ECCO
1581        (moved to ctrl_init_variables)
1582    o cost/cost_init_varia.F :
1583      - remove ecco_cost_init_varia
1584        (moved to ecco_init_varia)
1585    o ctrl/ctrl_init_variables.F :
1586      - add CTRL_MAP_INI, CTRL_MAP_INI_ECCO
1587      - add CTRL_MAP_INI_GENARR, SEAICE_CTRL_MAP_INI
1588    o ctrl/ctrl_map_ini.F :
1589      - remove ctrl_map_ini_genarr, seaice_ctrl_map_ini
1590        (moved to ctrl_init_variables)
1591    o ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F :
1592      - remove ECCO_PHYS (mv to ecco_init_varia)
1593      - remove seaice_ctrl_map_ini (mv to ctrl_init_variables)
1594    o ecco/ecco_ad_diff.list :
1595      - add ecco_init_varia.f
1596    o ecco/ecco_init_varia.F
1597      - new routine
1598    o pkg/streamice:
1599      - move call to STREAMICE_INITIALIZE_PETSC from the_model_main.F
1600        to streamice_init_fixed.F ; fix setting of STREAMICEisOn.
1601      - from model/src, only call pkg/streamice routines if useStreamIce is TRUE.
1602    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1603      - fix bug causing negatives in GAD_SMOLARKIEWICZ_HACK, introduced 8/8/2014.
1604    o pkg/exf:
1605      - exf_getffields.F : add xxg_atemp, xxg_aqh, xxg_swdown, xxg_lwdown,
1606         xxg_precip capability
1607      - exf_wind.F : no need for ALLOW_WSPEED_CONTROL cpp switch
1608    o pkg/ctrl:
1609      - ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F : omit (un)packing of undefined xx_gentim2d
1610    o model/src/load_fields_driver.F :
1611      - move call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D ahead of BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD, EXF_GETFORCING
1612        so xx_gentim2d can be applied to e.g. exf fields in a timely manner.
1613    o OpenAD verification experiments:
1614      - Include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h, and CTRL_OPTIONS.h
1615        in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h);
1616        for now, only in pkgs used in OpenAD verification experiments.
1617      - Change all except one (halfpipe_streamice) OpenAD experiments to use pkg
1618        specific option file (AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h & CTRL_OPTIONS.h)
1619        instead of using ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (with all relevant options in it).
1620        This applies to both TAF (*/code_ad/) and OpenAD (*/code_oad/) tests.
1621    o OpenAD verification tests:
1622      - finish removing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD (replaced by ALLOW_OPENAD);
1623      - finish replacing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for
1624        tape/storage which are specific to TAF/TAMC) in pkgs used in OpenAD exp.
1625      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undef in OpenAD verification tests (*/code_oad/)
1626        and remove local copy of "tamc.h" (needed only if ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC).
1627    o model/src & generic_advdiff:
1628      - change hard-coded loop-range in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T/S to set T & S
1629        forcing over 0:sNx+1, 0:sNy=1 (instead of just 1:sNx,1:sNy): Model
1630        dynamics requires valid tracer forcing only over tile interior but, for
1631        some diagnostics, may need to extend it over 1 point in tile halo region.
1632      - in gad_calc_rhs.F, update calls to gmredi_x/ytransport to get valid
1633        tendency over i,j_Min,Max range. This allows to simplfy i,j_Min,Max
1634        setting in temp/salt/ptracer_integrate.F
1635    o pkg/dic:
1636      - multiply tracer tendencies by maskInC (if ussing OBCS) before updating
1637        gchem tracers: this allows to skip the 2nd call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER
1638        in gchem_forcing_sep.F
1639    o pkg/autodiff & obcs:
1640      - add storage of current OB values for U & V (was already done for T & S).
1641    
1642    checkpoint65c (2014/08/30)
1643    o pkg/dic:
1644      - take out of dic_atmos.F the initialisation part (corresponding to istate=0)
1645        and move it to new S/R DIC_INI_ATMOS ; also simplify the dependencies for
1646        AD compilers (but still a Pb with multi-threading and Ajoint dependencies).
1647    o verification:
1648      - new experiment testing OBCS and DIC pkgs, using params & output from
1649        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo but limited to a sub-domain around Drake
1650        passage: take OBCS from the last year of a 2 yrs simulation and initial
1651        conditions from t=1.yr while keeping the same forcing.
1652    o model/src:
1653      - when allowFreezing=T, only reset below freezing initial Temp to Tfreezing
1654        (at any k) if checkIniTemp is not set to FALSE (default checkIniTemp=T).
1655    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
1656      - re-write S/R DIAGSTATS_CALC (more similar to TARGET_NEC_SX part) to:
1657        a) refine region where stats are computed, excluding where arrhFac=0 ;
1658        b) fix missing interior mask (use with OBCS) in 3-D fields statistics;
1659        c) extend regional stats over the region edges (for U or V pt location).
1660    o pkg/gchem:
1661      - add a (2nd) call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER in gchem_forcing_sep.F (needed since
1662        pkg/dic is currently changing/updating ptracers values beyond the OB).
1663    o verification (hs94):
1664      - convert Held & Suarez external_forcing.F (from hs94.cs, with Sigma-coords
1665        bits) to apply_forcing.F and undef USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING in experiments
1666        hs94.cs-32x32x5 and tutorial_held_suarez_cs ; also use the same version of
1667        apply_forcing.F in 2D hs94 (fwd, ad & oad) but keep LatLon hs94 unchanged.
1668    o pkg/ptracers:
1669      - implement Adams-Bashforth on pTracers (instead of on tracer tendency),
1670        switched on by setting PTRACERS_doAB_onGpTr=F (default set to doAB_onGtGs)
1671      - change exp4 secondary test (input.nlfs) to test AB on T & S & pTracer
1672        with AB-2 code (so that it get tested).
1673    o model/src:
1674      - allow to apply Adams-Bashforth on Temp & Salt (instead of on gT,gS)
1675        with AB-2 code (previously only available with AB-3 code).
1676        Also move the code (call to ADAMS_BASHFORTH S/R) form thermodynamics.F
1677        to temp/salt_integrate.F (since the 2nd part of gt/sNm1 update is done
1678        there, by calling CYCLE_AB_TRACER).
1679    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1680      - change Tracer argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R GAD_CALC_RHS,
1681        GAD_C2_ADV_R, GAD_U3_ADV_R, GAD_C4_ADV_R, GAD_DIFF_R, GAD_BIHARM_R
1682        + also in GMREDI_X/Y/RTRANSPORT ; and update corresponding calls in
1683        S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
1684    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
1685      - remove common block variables gT,gS (in DYNVARS.h), except when
1686         USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING is defined; update TAF storage accordingly.
1687      - remove common block variable gPtr.
1688    o model/src & pkgs:
1689      - change gTracer (and/or tracer) argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R
1690         ADAMS_BASHFORTH(2&3), CYCLE_(AB_)TRACER, FREESURF_RESCALE_G,
1691         IMPLDIFF, SOLVE_TRIDIAGONAL & _PENTADIAGONAL, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
1692         GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_CALC_RHS, GAD_IMPLICIT_R, TIMEAVE_CUMUL_DIF_1T
1693      + change accordingly all calling S/R.
1694      - use local temperature/salinity/ptracer tendency array (without bi,bj)
1695        in S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
1696    o pkg/seaice:
1697      - move computation of stress contributions to rhsU/V in s/r seaice_lsr
1698        to separate s/r seaice_lsr_rhsu/v in order to be able to re-use code
1699      - make u/vIceC local variables if SEAICE_CGRID is defined only to be used
1700        in seaice_lsr
1701      - seaice_lsr.F: make local 4D arrays UXX, VYY, etc 2D
1702        in s/r seaice_lsr_calc_coeffs
1703    o pkg/mdsio:
1704      - in MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD, stop if file-name (+prefix) is too long
1705        (e.g., > MAX_LEN_MBUF -90 ) or, in INI_MODEL_IO, if mdsioLocalDir is
1706        too long (e.g., > MAX_LEN_FNAM/2 )
1707    
1708    checkpoint65b (2014/08/12)
1709    o pkg/matrix:
1710      - pass, as argument, updated tracer field to S/R MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP
1711    o model/src:
1712      - fix initialisation of geothermalFile; compile geothermal-flux code in
1713        natl_box verification experiment.
1714    o model/src & pkg/down_slope:
1715      - push the k loop inside S/R TIMESTEP_TRACER (now called outside the k loop).
1716      - in dwnslp_apply.F, update tracer tendency instead of the future tracer
1717        field and call S/R DWNSLP_APPLY before TIMESTEP_TRACER; this affects
1718        results at machine truncation level: update output of experiments
1719        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp (FWD) and lab_sea.noseaicedyn (AD).
1720    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
1721      - do not cumulate the full volume when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is
1722        called with bibjFlg < 0 (no increment of the counter for 2D/3D diag);
1723        This fix the mean statistics when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is called multiple
1724        times (but Min,Max and StD are still wrong).
1725    o model/src:
1726      - add geothermal flux forcing: read in ini_forcing.F as time-constant
1727        field "geothermalFlux" applied in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T (apply_forcing.F)
1728    o model/src:
1729      - move CYCLE_TRACER calls from tracers_correction_step.F to temp/salt/ptracer
1730        _integrate.F so that, when leaving S/R THERMODYANMICS, theta,salt and pTrac
1731        arrays are already updated while adjustments (filters, conv.adjustment) are
1732        still applied later, in S/R TRACERS_CORRECTION_STEP.
1733    o model/src:
1734      - store in common bloc array "rhoInSitu" the virtual potential temperature
1735        anomaly that is used to compute geopotential: this make the atmos code
1736        more similar to ocean code which already uses rhoInSitu in calc_phi_hyd.F
1737    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
1738      - rename integer variable ilcall to ipass (that's what it is called
1739        in the residual diagnostics
1740      - change time stepping for NPSEUDOTIMESTEP > 2 (does not change the
1741        default) for improved non-linear convergence of the first few steps
1742      - adjust a few comments and add new ones to explain some of the store
1743        directives
1744    o pkg/generic_advdiff (& ptracers):
1745      - re-work the code to check for valid advection scheme and for minimum
1746        size of overlap (now stored in local common bloc in gad_advscheme.F)
1747    o pkg/seaice: another attempt to make the adjoint work for sea ice dynamics
1748      - re-initialize more variables in seaice_lsr: u/vIceC, u/vIceNm1
1749      - add an auxilliary variable "bet" and fix store directives and keys in
1750        seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, this seems to do the trick (i.e. more or
1751        less exact gradients in my tests); but there are still
1752        recomputation warning (although gradients are sort of OK), when
1753        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE is not defined, so this flag and
1754        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA are recommended for efficiency.
1755      - update verification experiments lab_sea.
1756      - change some comments in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
1757    o model/src:
1758      - if staggerTimeStep=T, always apply exchange to velocity field in
1759        do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F instead of in do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F
1760        (independent of using multi-dim advection or not); no effect on FWD run
1761        but affects AD results (at machine truncation level): update output of
1762        experiment 1D_ocean_ice_column (ad: 12 digits), hs94.1x64x5 (ad,oad: 13.d)
1763        and isomip (oad: 12.d).
1764    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1765      - stop if doAB_onGtGs is set to FALSE but ignored
1766      - refine warning related to stability of tracer time-stepping
1767        regarding internal wave dynamics.
1768      - setting of AdamsBashforth_T,S when doAB_onGtGs=F: remove condition
1769        on staggerTimeStep & implicitIntGravWave (will now get a warning
1770        if potentially unstable).
1771    o pkg/kl10:
1772      - add new pkg "kl10" for mixing due to internal wave breaking, from
1773        http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1463500310000144
1774        (contribution from Jody Klymak), tested in verification experiment
1775        verification/internal_wave/input.kl10/
1776    o isomip experiment:
1777      - test pkg/shelfice with Non-Lin Free-Surf in one of the FWD set-up
1778        (input.htd) and update the output.
1779    o cd_code experiments:
1780      - use default cd_code options (#undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM &
1781        #undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_CORIOLIS) in experiments: cfc_example (fwd)
1782        global_ocean.90x40x15 (ad & oad) and OpenAD (ad & oad) and
1783        update the corresponding output.
1784    o pkg/seaice:
1785      - reduce the number of include files and store directives in
1786        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1787      - change the order of loops in one case in S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv
1788        (only for SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA defined), which allows me to
1789        get rid off one store directive (a TAF bug?)
1790      - add one more instance of ifdef SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in
1791        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv to change the loop range for consistency
1792      - remove ilcall, m from parameter list of S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1793      - fix a bug that affects the JFNK solver: replace sNx/y by i/jMax in
1794        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v (requires update of
1795        offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk)
1796    
1797    checkpoint65a (2014/07/27)
1798    o model/src:
1799      - Non-Lin Free-Surf in p/z coords: allows hFacW,S to be larger than
1800        surrounding hFacC=1 @ edge of a step with different kSurfC on either side
1801        (topo in p-coords, ice-shelf in z-coords); update output of experiments
1802        tutorial_global_oce_in_p and isomip (both AD and OpenAD output).
1803    o model/src:
1804      - collect momentum forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
1805        to apply_forcing S/R); this simplifies mom. Forcing diagnostics and CD_CODE
1806        parts in timestep.F (without CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM defined = the default);
1807        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., if using OBCS_SPONGE).
1808      - collect T & S forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument to
1809        apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for temp & salt forcing tendency.
1810        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., ocean: if using
1811        SHORTWAVE_HEATING ; atmos: if using FrictionHeating or (atm_Rq<>0) moist
1812        correction due to vertical advection).
1813      - update output of experiments: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (13 digits),
1814        global_ocean.cs32x15 (fwd: icedyn, seaice, thsice, all 3 @ 11d; adm & tml:
1815        seaice_dynmix & thsice, fwd grd @ 3 & 8), hs94.1x64x5 (ad grd @ 13),
1816        obcs_ctrl (ad & fwd grd @ 12 & 7).
1817    o pkg/ptracers & diagnostics:
1818      - use ptracers (short) name (instead of long one) to make ptracers diagnostics
1819        title (to avoid some unexpected truncation); sort out ptracers diags units.
1820      - collect ptracer forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
1821        to apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for ptracers forcing tendency.
1822    
1823    checkpoint65 (2014/07/18)
1824    o pkg/fizhi:
1825      - add parenthesis around fizhi tendencies in fizhi_tendency_apply.F: this
1826        affects results at machine truncation level. Update output of experiments
1827        fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (12 digits for cg2d) & fizhi-cs-aqualev20 (13 digits).
1828    o pkg/seaice: more clean up
1829      - rename TAF common block tapes to be more consistent and remove
1830        unnecessary duplicates
1831      - add store directives to remove more recomputations, but use smaller
1832        tapes (and adjust keys) when SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undefined.
1833        The idea behind this flag is to reduce the memory footprint when the
1834        adjoint of the LSR is not required. As of now, defining the flag
1835        SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER increases 4 common block tapes for 2D field by
1836        a factor of SOLV_MAX_FIXED (=500 by default in SEAICE_SIZE.h).
1837        For experiment offline_exf_seaice, this means on a linux box with gfortran
1838        nearly a factor of 10 (but keep in mind there is mostly seaice code in
1839        this experiment):
1840        > size mitgcmuv_ad
1841        text    data        bss     dec        hex
1842        5100659 1216  220458952  225560827  d71c8fb
1843        5339425 1200 1868783272 1874123897 6fb4dc79 (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
1844        but only a moderate increase of 36% for global_ocean.cs32x15:
1845        text    data        bss     dec        hex
1846        6695027 1648 1014578664 1021275339 3cdf6ccb
1847        6695203 1648 1382505320 1389202171 52cd8afb (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
1848      - note: there are still recomputations in global_ocean.cs32x15 and
1849        offline_exf_seaice and the gradient agreement changes (gets a
1850        little worse) for global_ocean.cs32x15 (-> update output_adm.seaice.txt)
1851      - in general, the AD gradients still are wrong
1852    o OpenAD
1853      - clean up code_oad/ directories somewhat by moving files
1854        dontCompile, dontTransform, keepOriginal to OAD_support/
1855    o model/src:
1856      - using MOM fluxform and Non-Lin Free-Surf with momDissip_In_AB=F
1857        (not currently tested): add dissipation terms before NLFS rescaling of
1858        tendencies (previously done after).
1859    o pkg/diagnostics:
1860      - write stats-diags in ascii file with more digits (same as in monitor).
1861    o pkg/down_slope:
1862      - drop the bi,bj dimension of argument recip_hFac in S/R DWNSLP_APPLY; with
1863        NLFS (not tested), use new recip_hFac value in order to conserve tracer.
1864    o model/src:
1865      - new file "apply_forcing.F" containing all the code previously in
1866        external_forcing.F, but with new argument list: pass, as new argument,
1867        the current level tendency array to update (instead of a direct update
1868        of the common bloc array). Change the corresponding calls.
1869      - add CPP option USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING (default is undef) to use
1870        EXTERNAL_FORCING_U,V,T,S subroutines (for backward compatibility).
1871    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr, a little bit of clean up
1872      - rearrange some code blocks, so that now all calculations for
1873        setting up the right-hand-sides done within one single block
1874        (I find that easier to read and understand)
1875      - rearrange freedrift-code to reduce the number of ifdefs
1876      - adjust some indentations and comments
1877    
1878    checkpoint64z (2014/07/10)
1879    o model/src and several pkgs:
1880      - change argument list of all S/R called from external_forcing.F and
1881        called from ptracers_forcing.F (renamed to ptracers_apply_forcing.F)
1882        to pass, as argument, the current level tendency array to update
1883        (instead of a direct update of the common bloc array).
1884      - change also (in the same way) argument list of PTRACERS_APPLY_FORCING;
1885      - rename taueddy_external_forcing.f to taueddy_tendency_apply.F
1886    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
1887      - always initialize local arrays in seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1888      - add more local tapes to seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1889      - move storing u/vice(:,:,bi,bj) out of seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, but
1890        keep it in bi/bj loop; this seems to be essential
1891      - gradients are still wrong but only by 4-7 orders of magnitude
1892        instead of 15 orders of magnitude, lab_sea improves a little
1893    o pkg/seaice
1894      - (pkg/autodiff) remove storing/restoring of seaiceMaskU/V that
1895        generates unnecessary code in seaice_lsr_ad
1896      - add more store directives in seaice_lsr to avoid unnecessary code
1897        in seaice_lsr_ad
1898      - exclude some residual computations in seaice_lsr when
1899        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC is defined in order to avoid unnecessary code
1900        in seaice_lsr_ad
1901      - add more storing, a new tape (model/src/the_main_loop.F) and
1902        another key for SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA (the local keys ilockey
1903        and klockey should be checked by a specialist)
1904      - modify ( define SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER )
1905        and update lab_sea after previous changes in pkg/seaice below
1906    o pkg/autodiff:
1907      - introduce useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode, SEAICEapproxLevInAd, and
1908        viscFacInAd : run time parameters allowing for adjoint switches
1909        note : logic for useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode is in ctrl_readparms.F
1910    o pkg/ecco:
1911      - introduce cost_gencost_boxmean.F that computes a box mean
1912        temperature (for use in adjoint sensitivity studies).
1913    o model/src/set_defaults.F : initialize viscFacAdj to 1.
1914    o pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_visc.F:
1915      - ifdef ALLOW_AUTODIFF then include viscFacAdj factor.
1916    o pkg/seaice/seaice_summary.F:
1917      - statement for SEAICEadjMODE now in autodiff_readparms.F
1918    o pkg/seaice:
1919      - remove some store directives and add new ones in an effort to get
1920        finally rid off the recomputation warnings. This is successful
1921        when SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR ***and*** SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER are
1922        defined (i.e. no extensive recomputation warnings left), but there
1923        are still too many recomputations on the solver iteration level
1924      - define SEAICE_VECTORISZE_LSR in offline_exf_seaice/code_ad/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
1925      - move definition of MPSEUDOTIMESTEPS into TAMC-block in
1926        SEAICE_SIZE.h
1927      - add a store directive in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
1928    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
1929      - fix definition of Hlimit for multi-threaded case
1930      - use double precision arithmetic to compute Hlimit: this affects results;
1931        update output of experiment seaice_itd.
1932    o replace content of verification/seaice_itd
1933      - instead of a 1D column use the configuration of offline_exf_seaice
1934        to test the ice thickness distribution code with ridging
1935      - this is a first shot at this experiment
1936      - change of some defaults of ridging parameters SEAICEhStar (from
1937        100 to 25) and SEAICEmuRidging (from 5 to 3) in seaice_readparms.F
1938        and lot of new comments.
1939    
1940    checkpoint64y (2014/06/20)
1941    o pkg/seaice/seaice_reg_ridge.F:
1942      - modify the regularization of very small volumes of ice; only check
1943        total volume HEFF, and do not apply correction to individual ice
1944        classes because that leads to funny patterns in the heat and fw-fluxes
1945        into the ocean. Adjust seaice_itd/results/output.txt
1946      - replace nITD by SEAICE_multDim in loop-ranges
1947    o pkg/exf:
1948      - add code to process the case field period = -12. with UV interpolation.
1949      - move debug print (formerly active when exf_verbose=T) from EXF_getFFieldRec
1950        into S/R that calls it (i.e., exf_set_gen.F, exf_set_uv.F & obcs_exf_load.F)
1951    o verification/global_with_exf:
1952      - switch all fields period to -12. (was previously untested) in input/data.exf
1953        (but keep secondary test ".yearly" unchanged); update the reference output.
1954    o pkg/cal:
1955      - new calendar type "noLeapYear" for 365 days calendar without any leap year.
1956    o pkg/exf:
1957      - new integer parameter "exf_debugLev" (default set to main model debugLevel)
1958        to replace logical switch "exf_verbose"
1959      - report in STDOUT when loading a new record (if exf_debugLev >= 3)
1960    o pkg/sbo:
1961      - update from Katherine Quinn: evaluate mass directly from density and SSH
1962        (budget using Finite Volume method) instead of from bottom pressure.
1963      - allow testreport to collect few selected SBO output ; tested in exp.
1964        global_ocean.90x40x15 (after updating the results, to include SBO output).
1965      - fix some multi-threading issues (in output part).
1966    o model/src & most packages:
1967      - always call {PKG}_READPARMS even if corresponding use{PKG}=F;
1968      - in {PKG}_READPARMS, in case use{PKG}=F: add a call to new S/R
1969        PACKAGES_UNUSED_MSG to print a weak warning when parameter file
1970        "data.{pkg}" exist ; and leave the S/R (return) just after.
1971      - more standard LAND pkg interface (land_init_fixed.F, land_check.F).
1972        + call LAND_READPARMS from packages_readparms.F
1973    o pkg/seaice:
1974      - remove code that resets useThSice in S/R seaice_readparms and
1975        replace it by a warning in S/R seaice_check
1976      - remove parameter MULTDIM, replace with nITD and runtime
1977        parameter SEAICE_multDim (still hard-wired to nITD if
1978        SEAICE_ITD is defined)
1979    
1980    checkpoint64x (2014/05/24)
1981    o verification/lab_sea:
1982      - update adjoint and TLM output following changes to pkg/salt_plume
1983      - un-do the update after putting back local recip_Cp in few places.
1984    o pkg/salt_plume: modifications by An Nguyen:
1985      - add capability to do brine rejection (salt-plume) as function of
1986        volume+tracers (instead of only salinity tracer).
1987      - conserve volume by exchanging volume from each kLev to above to
1988        accommodate in-coming brine volume
1989      - store surface and klev exchanged fraction + volume in 4 new 3-d arrays
1990      - switch KPP surf buoyancy due to brine forcing to 3-d
1991        (3 more 3-d arrays, 2 for SPforcing[T,S], 1 for boplume)
1992      - add salt_plume_volfrac, salt_plume_apply, salt_plume_tendency_apply_t
1993      - unrelatedly, also add ad-hoc capability to vary salt_plume scheme
1994        in East/West Arctic.
1995    o pkg/sbo:
1996      - incorporate modifications from Katherine Quinn to enable the use of sbo
1997        pkg in ECCO-v4 set-up ; remove SBO-TimeAve output ; add monitor-like
1998        output for future testreport verification (unfinished).
1999    o pkg/atm_phys:
2000      - change diagnostics (AtPh_Trf & AtPh_Qrf) of DARGAN_BETTSMILLER S/R:
2001        skip the reseting of t_ref & q_ref to initial t & q ; this preserve the
2002        output of S/R CAPECALCNEW (Parcel temp & q) for diagnostics.
2003    o pkg/seaice
2004      seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: modify expression to avoid divisions
2005        (affects truncation)
2006      seaice_do_ridging.F: clean up the insectarium
2007      - fix a bug that was compensated by areaScaling (-> remove areaScaling code)
2008      - added SEAICEsnowFracRidge to redistributed snow (2nd bug)
2009      - set closing/openingRate to zero where no extra iteration is need (3rd bug)
2010      - add some debugging information and error messages (warnings)
2011    o model/src: modifications relatd to atmosphere p*:
2012      - Switch to more accurate p* coordinate slope term (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F)
2013      - With p* or Sigma-P, use constant reference Pot.Temp (thetaConst) instead
2014        of vertical profile tRef in geopotential background and anomaly.
2015      - Acount for true p* correction in theta <-> T conversion in pkg/aim_v23
2016        and pkg/atm_phys.
2017      - Update FWD output of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
2018        fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, tutorial_held_suarez_cs, cpl_aim+ocn.
2019    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in seaice_prepare_ridging.F, forgot a sqrt
2020    o pkg/ptracers: compute ptracer source/sink due to linear free surface.
2021        not used right now, but can be used in BGC packages to fix conservation.
2022    o pkg/dic, pkg/gchem: move tracer_meanarea to gchem, so it can be used by
2023        other packages too.
2024    o pkg/seaice/seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: replace SEAICE_rhoSnow by
2025        SEAICE_rhoIce in the Rothrock (1975)-type strength calculations (bug fix)
2026    o model/src:
2027      - since we have several heat capacity (even in model/src), define "recip_Cp"
2028        as local variable (no longer in common block) to avoid any confusion.
2029      - add thetaConst in PARAMS.h (to be used with pStar or sigma-P coords).
2030    o pkg/exf:
2031      - from Jeff Scott: add option (#define EXF_CALC_ATMRHO) to calculate local
2032        air density as function of air Temp, Humidity and atm pressure.
2033    
2034    checkpoint64w (2014/05/02)
2035    o verification:
2036      - update output_adm.txt files for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15 (seaice &
2037        seaice_dynmix) and lab_sea (primary test & noseaicedyn): moving/changing
2038        code from seaice_growth.F & seaice_advdiff.F to new ridging routines
2039        seaice_reg_ridge.F seaice_do_ridging.F affects AD gradient
2040        (down to 8-7 matching digits for global_ocean and 5-6 for lab_sea).
2041    o model/src: for atmosphere in p* coords:
2042      - store factor rStarFacC**atm_kappa (= pStarFacK) in common block
2043      - implement more accurate p* coordinate slope term (in calc_grad_phi_hyd.F),
2044        but not yet activated.
2045    o pkg/seaice: fix restart problem for ITD with new ice strength parameterisation:
2046      - move computation of opnWtrFrac = 1-AREA to before computing ice strength
2047      - this changes the results (but not for any verification experiment, because
2048        none tests this), but avoids having an extra field in the restart files
2049    o pkg/seaice: remove global variable TICE (not needed)
2050      - replace by TICES or local variable where necessary (cost_seaice_test,
2051        seaice_diagnostics_state)
2052      - move copying TICE to TICES from seaice_check_pickup to seaice_read_pickup
2053      - use specific read/write routines for reading and writing individual leves
2054        of a multilevel field
2055    o pkg/ctrl & model/inc:
2056      - move additional anomaly fields of control vars (related to options:
2057         ALLOW_KAPGM_CONTROL, ALLOW_KAPREDI_CONTROL and ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL)
2058        from DYNVARS.h into new header file: CTRL_FIELDS.h
2059    o pkg/seaice: some small modifications to the ridging code
2060      - make fw2ObyRidge a global variable and add the freshwater flux to
2061        seaice_growth
2062      - pass actual thickness from seaice_prepare_ridging, so that it is
2063        computed only in one place and compute it in the same way as in
2064        seaice_growth
2065      - initialise more fields in seaice_do_ridging that where cause floating
2066        point exceptions over land
2067    o pkg/seaice: preparations for ridging code and first real ridging code
2068      - move most of "PART 1" of S/R seaice_growth into a new and separate
2069        S/R seaice_reg_ridge that will both regularize the state variable after
2070        advection call the actual ridging routine;
2071      - requires to make 5 fields global fields: d_HEFFbyNEG,d_HSNWbyNEG,
2072        d_AREAbyRLX,d_HEFFbyRLX,saltFluxAdjust;
2073      - remove ridging code from seaice_advdiff
2074      - clean up remaining part 1 of seaice_growth in an attempt to make it
2075        more readable (this is probably subjective)
2076      - call seaice_itd_redist once in the initialisation phase to have the initial
2077        conditions in the correct category
2078      - finally: add new ridging routine for ITD code
2079    
2080    checkpoint64v (2014/04/11)
2081    o pkg/ecco:
2082      - add runtime parameters mdt[start,end]date[1,2]
2083      - rename variable "tpmean" as "mdt" and "topexmeanfile" as "mdtdatfile"
2084    o pkg/seaice:
2085      - make deltaC a global variable, so that it can be used in ridging code
2086      - first step towards ridging: introduce new routines that compute
2087        ice strength based on ridging parameters
2088      - add diagnostic for HSNOWITD
2089      - add opnWtrFrac as a global variable (required for ridging scheme)
2090    o pkg/salt_plume + pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
2091      - add SALT_PLUME_IN_LEADS flag to activate pkg/salt_plume only when ice
2092        AREA exceeds a threshold (code contributed by I.Fenty in 2011)
2093    o verification/hs94.1x64x5:
2094      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undefined in code_oad/AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h
2095      - do not use ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h anymore for TAF & OpenAD Adjoint tests.
2096    o autodiff:
2097      - Start to include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h,
2098        and CTRL_OPTIONS.h in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h)
2099        For now, only in pkgs used in verification/hs94.1x64x5.
2100      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for tape/storage
2101        which are specific to TAF/TAMC).
2102      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD by ALLOW_OPENAD:
2103        since ALLOW_OPENAD is defined in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h (any time pkg/openad
2104        is compiled), this simplifies/reduces which *_OPTIONS.h file to include.
2105      - OpenAD: change Makefile to generate the appropriate AD_CONFIG.h when
2106        building mitgcmuv_ad (make adAll).
2107    o pkg/ecco:
2108      - cost_gencost_seaicev4.F:
2109         reformulate proxy cost as function of sst and local param SEAICE_freeze
2110         change cost names from siv4-[sst,vol] to siv4-[deconc,exconc]
2111      - add stop statement if old names siv4-[sst,vol] are used
2112      - add snapshots + cost reports for atmospheric longwave
2113      - remove factor 0.1 in front of wtau[u,v]
2114      - replace never used flag ALLOW_TMI_COST_CONTRIBUTION with
2115         ALLOW_TMI_SST_COST_CONTRIBUTION
2116    o pkg/atm_phys:
2117      - add some diagnostics for Short-wave and for convection S/R.
2118    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth:
2119      - fix a bug in the lateral melt parameterization for SEAICE_ITD
2120        in seaice_growth; tempFrz needs to be computed inside the i/j-loop
2121      - rearrange loop order for better vector code in the same code block
2122      - rewrite the floeDiameter formula to have fewer divisions
2123      -  (miraculously) none of this changes the results of seaice_itd
2124    o pkg/smooth:
2125      - move param smooth2Ddiffnbt to pkg/ecco
2126    o pkg/salt_plume:
2127      - salt_plume_frac.F:
2128         clean up local param names
2129         reformulate (1-frac) to frac; original 1-frac was based on swfrac code
2130    o pkg/rw:
2131      - add RS version of S/R READ_MFLDS_LEV.
2132    o pkg/streamice:
2133      - fix the restart test by writing/reading pickup_streamice files.
2134    o pkg/seaice:
2135      - refine checks for jfnk-related parameters
2136      - comment out if statement with SEAICEuseIMEX parameter as long as there
2137        is no IMEX code to avoid confusion and surprises
2138    
2139    checkpoint64u (2014/03/07)
2140    o verification/MLAdjust:
2141      - rename secondary test suffix:
2142         1.leith  -> A4FlxF  + switch to flux-form & add side-drag
2143         0.leithD -> AhFlxF  + switch to flux-form
2144         0.smag   -> AhVrDv  (use Vorticity-Div. visc form) + add side-drag
2145         0.leith  -> AhStTn  (use Strain-Tension visc form) + add side-drag
2146    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
2147      - remove unused arguments from S/R MOM_VI_HDISSIP & MOM_HDISSIP (as it used
2148        to be before mom_calc_visc.F)
2149      - skip the call to MOM_CALC_TENSION & MOM_CALC_STRAIN if not needed.
2150      - add 2nd copy of vort3 & strain that knows about lateral BC (free/no slip):
2151        this is simpler for the adjoint and for diagnostics.
2152    o model/src + pkg/momentum:
2153      - add input files for  2-D additional Western and Southern cell-edge wall
2154         (e.g., to add "thin-wall" where it is =1).
2155      - fix sideDrag option for thin-walls with Non-Lin Free-Surf
2156        using 2nd hFacZ that is computed from initial (fix domain) hFac
2157      - known limitations of thin wall implementation: not yet coded for sigma
2158        coords; not working with CD-scheme neither.
2159    o pkg/seaice:
2160      - rename recently introduced parameters from (wrong name) AB to
2161        BDF (backward difference time discretisation)
2162      - retire runtime parameters SEAICEuseAB2, SEAICE_abEps
2163    o tools/adjoint_options:
2164      - remove setting of "OPENAD=true" (now set by command line "genmake2 -oad")
2165    
2166    checkpoint64t (2014/02/01)
2167    o pkg/ecco
2168      - add compile flag ALLOW_GENCOST_TIMEVARY_WEIGHT in ECCO_OPTIONS.h and
2169        runtime logical flag gencost_timevaryweight to read daily sea-ice sigma
2170      - replace hard-coded record number and period which only work for monthly
2171        with read-in runtime param that works for other periods (month,day,year)
2172    o pkg/thsice
2173      - corrected store directive fixes thsice adjoint gradient checks
2174    o genmake2 & testreport:
2175      - add genmake2 option "-oad" to generate a Makefile for OpenAD built and
2176        in this case, use tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad as default AD optfile.
2177        Update testreport accordingly. No need to set "export OPENAD=true"
2178        in adjoint_options/adjoint_oad anymore (will be removed later).
2179    o pkg/shelfice:
2180      - put T & S shelfice forcing into model surfaceForcing_T,_S (for now,
2181        only if SHELFICEboundaryLayer=F); Change model/src/external_forcing.F
2182        so that surface forcing applies to k=kSurf if using pkg/shelfice.
2183    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk, pkg/ecco:
2184      - Changes to make GENARR more modular (i.e. invisible if not used)
2185    o model/src/temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F
2186      - re-include store directives that were removed on Dec 27th.
2187    o model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
2188      - add storage directives for EmPmR and PmEpR to avoid recomputation of
2189        seaice_model in the adjoint that is problematic when seaice_model is
2190        turned off in the adjoint. The resolved issue dated back to July when
2191        EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF call was moved.
2192        Update global_ocean.cs32x15/*/output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt accordingly.
2193    o pkg/exf/exf_check.F
2194      - fix a small bug again (originally found by Wentao Liu, now found again)
2195      - streamline error output
2196    o pkg/streamice and aim_v23:
2197      - replace a few "_EXCH_XY_RL (" with "_EXCH_XY_RL(", so that
2198        Apple's /usr/bin/cpp knows what to do:
2199        Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
2200        Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
2201    
2202    checkpoint64s (2014/01/05)
2203    o tools/adjoint_options:
2204      - switch to fastopt.net TAF server (instead of default fastopt.de) for
2205        AD optfiles adjoint_diva & adjoint_f95 (similar to adjoint_default).
2206    o model/src:
2207      - remove some unnecessary TAF storage directives in forward_step.F and
2208        in dynamics.F (note: not always removed by TAF, e.g., double storage
2209        of kappaRU,kappaRV in former version of dynamics.F).
2210    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
2211      - call directly GAD_IMPLICIT_R & IMPLDIFF + DWNSLP_APPLY from temp_integrate.F
2212        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (instead of from thermodynamics.F)
2213        and remove ptracers_dwnslp_apply.F & ptracers_implicit.F
2214      - call MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP for each tracer (in ptracers_integrate.F)
2215      - add fZon & fMer as output argument of S/R GAD_CALC_RHS.
2216      - update TAF AD-output of experiments global_ocean.90x40x15 (13 for AD-grad).
2217    o useSingleCpuInput separates single-CPU input from single-CPU output;
2218        for now only implemented for in exf_interp_read.F
2219    o verification/advect_xy:
2220      - fix missing EXCH call in local version of ini_salt.F and update output.
2221    o momentum diagnostics:
2222      - fix which deltaT is used in Total-Tendency diagnostics.
2223      - fix typo in diagnostics for momentum tendency from AB.
2224    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: fix an initialisation bug for the
2225        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA option that lead to NaNs on a NEC-SX8
2226    
2227    checkpoint64r (2013/12/08)
2228    o verification/*/results:
2229      - Update reference output of experiments that were passing with just 13 digits
2230         (make it easier to detect future changes in results)
2231    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
2232      - move calls to GAD_ADVECTION (Multi-Dim advection) from thermodynamics.F to
2233        inside temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F and from ptracers_advection.F
2234        to inside ptracers_integrate.F ; remove ptracers_advection.F
2235    o coupling interface pkgs:
2236        [atm_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf & atm_ocn_coupler]
2237      - change the config check to test the agreement of Ocean Depth
2238        with ATM land/sea mask (instead of ATM orography);
2239      - send to coupler the number of coupler time-steps to do for this run:
2240        this allows to check for consistency and don't need anymore to be
2241        specified in parameter file "data";
2242      in coupler:
2243      - check consistency of RunOff map versus Ocean Depth and ATM land/sea mask.
2244      - improve report to log-file of config setting (pass log-file unit to few S/R)
2245    o pkg/compon_communic:
2246      - add coupling send/receive for non-tiled integer vector;
2247      - add S/R to check and stop if any proc has an error (similar to
2248        eesupp/src/stop_if_error.F but single thread and across Comm_World).
2249    o pkg/exch2:
2250      - in exch2*_get_rx[1,2]: use new list "W2_tileIndex" to replace search
2251        through list of all tiles my proc owns.
2252    o model/src:
2253      - AUTODIFF only: in calc_adv_flow.F, recompute rTransKp (instead of copying
2254        from rTrans) to simplify dependencies (no need to store rTrans anymore in
2255        calling S/R); this affects AD results at machine truncation level:
2256        update AD-output (TAF) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
2257        bottom_ctrl_5x5 & obcs_ctrl (12 digits for AD grad, same FWD grad).
2258    o tools/build_options:
2259      - simplify Warnings options (-ieee & -devel cases) in linux_amd64_gfortran
2260    o coupling interface pkgs:
2261        [compon_communic, atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf]
2262      - move declaration of local array "ibuf" out of header file "CPLR_SIG.h"
2263        to each S/R that needs it; remove un-used variables.
2264      - change component tile registration (cpl_register.F in both compon_interf
2265        and mitcomponent_tile_register.F) to pass the full list of tiles
2266        information (including bi,bj) in 1 vector (instead of in a bi,bj matrix).
2267      - with pkg/exch2: adopt the same convention used for I/O to define mapping
2268        towards coupler global array (unless W2_useE2ioLayOut=F):
2269         a) can now use different tiling between atm & ocn comp.
2270         b) no needs to modify the run-Off map when changing tiling (was needed
2271            even if using the same tiling between atm & ocn).
2272         c) will allow to run with blank-tiles in 1 component (e.g., for ocean
2273            full land tiles); not yet tested.
2274      - check for valid mapping from comp. tile to coupler global array
2275      - improve report of tile registration results to log file.
2276    o pkg/exch2:
2277      - in eesupp/src/eeboot.F: move call to W2_EEBOOT before Coupler
2278        tile-registration (CPL_REGISTER);
2279      - activate (un-comment) definition and setting of "W2_tileIndex" list to
2280        store the local bi,bj indices of each tile;
2281      - also print bi,bj in local report to log file;
2282      - fix pkg/debug/debug_cs_corner_uv.F for the case nSy > 1 (left from
2283        Jun 2009 modif of pkg/exch2).
2284    o testing on baudelaire:
2285      - run 2 tests at a time: no significant slow down (since enough cpu) and
2286        get the full set of test done earlier
2287      - switch the ifort test to "-devel" ; run the OpenAD test everyday.
2288    o model/src/thermodynamics.F and routines called from it:
2289      - pkg/gmredi: gmredi_residual_flow.F (replacing gmredi_calc_uvflow.F &
2290        gmredi_calc_wflow.F) to update eulerian velocity (input) into residual
2291        velocity (outp) by adding bolus velocity.
2292      - model/src: calc_adv_flow.F (replacing calc_common_factors.F) to compute
2293        mass transport from velocity + lateral grid cell area
2294      - rename calc_gt.F to temp_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
2295      - rename calc_gs.F to salt_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
2296     in thermodynamics.F
2297      - remove k from thermodynamics.F and move it to temp_integrate.F
2298        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (now done inside the tracer
2299        loop).
2300      - compute locally (in thermodynamics.F) 3-D velocity field that is used to
2301        advect tracers; pass it as argument to GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
2302        PTRACERS_ADVECTION, TEMP_INTEGRATE, SALT_INTEGRATE, PTRACERS_INTEGRATE,
2303        GAD_IMPLICIT_R and PTRACERS_IMPLICIT
2304      - update AD-output (TAF & OAD) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
2305        global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and
2306        tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ TLM output).
2307    o tools/OAD_support and (verification/*/) code_oad:
2308      - OAD_support/cb2mGetModules.csh: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in header file to
2309        module conversion ; remove unneeded CPP_EEOPTIONS.h.
2310      - code_oad/CPP_OPTIONS.h: remove PACKAGES_CONFIG.h and use a more standard
2311        version (closer to model/inc/CPP_OPTIONS.h).
2312    o model/src:
2313      - remove parameter "useOldFreezing" from PARAMS.h and push it to the
2314        retired list of parameters (routine FREEZE has been replace by surface
2315        freezing (10.yrs ago) and by pkg/frazil (interior freezing).
2316    o pkg/gmredi:
2317      - add option (GM_CALC_TRANSP_FROM_VEL) to compute transport directly from
2318        velocity (same scheme but affects machine truncation) for GM_AdvForm.
2319      - update output of FWD experiments: front_relax.bvp,
2320        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp, global_ocean.cs32x15 and ideal_2D_oce.
2321    
2322    checkpoint64q (2013/11/17)
2323    o verification:
2324      - generate new output on baudelaire (gfortran, -ieee) for OpenAD experiments
2325        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and global_ocean.90x40x15.
2326      - generate new output (growth & melt) for seaice_itd experiment after
2327        updating the input pickup_seaice files (previously wrong).
2328    o pkg/cost:
2329      - define a "final cost function" for each tile, and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
2330        (instead of _GLOBAL_SUM_RL) to get the final cost from all procs & threads:
2331        o this fixes global-sum value if multi-threads (since GLOBAL_SUM_RL
2332          cannot be applied to var in common block).
2333        o allows to get results independent of tile-per-proc setting (if using
2334          slower GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV option).
2335      - update accordingly: seaice_cost_final.F, shelfice_cost_final.F,
2336        thsice_cost_final.F and ecco_cost_final.F (this one affects lab_sea
2337        forward gradients: update output).
2338      - update */code_oad/externalDummies.F by adding dummy GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
2339        S/R and, for most exp., also comment out GLOBAL_SUM_R8.
2340    o pkg/mom_common:
2341      - move to pkg/mom_common and model/src (previously in tutorial_deep_convection
2342        code) 2nd version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code interface: strain and
2343        viscosity are locally declared in dynmics.F and pass as argument to CALC_GW;
2344        ensure that all field value that are used are set.
2345    o tutorial_deep_convection (smag3d):
2346      - add missing scaling in mom_calc_smag_3d.F;
2347      - set smag3D_coeff in input.smag3d such that results do not change.
2348    o pkg/dic:
2349      - change dic_cost.F to compute cost on each tile first and then apply
2350        GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL: this affects forward gradient of AD experiments
2351        tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo; update output.
2352      - remove kLev argument and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL in tracer_meanarea.
2353    o eesupp/src & pkg/mdsio:
2354      - remove gather/scatter_vector.F (from eesupp) and mdsio_read/writevector.F
2355        (from pkg/mdsio) since they are no longer used for tape IO.
2356      - move simple C subroutine "setdir.c" from pkg/compon_communic to eesupp/src
2357        (+ keep a copy in pkg/atm_ocn_coupler).
2358    o verification/isomip:
2359      - split domain in 8 squared tiles (instead of just 2) for FWD, AD & OAD tests.
2360    o tools/build_options:
2361      - optfile linux_amd64_ifort11, fast (no ieee) case:
2362        to get a working restart for all experiments, add "-fp-model source"
2363        to FOPTIM (also remove "-opt-streaming-stores auto" <- this is the default).
2364    
2365    checkpoint64p (2013/10/20)
2366    o pkg/autodiff:
2367      - adread_adwrite.F: when type and length do not match ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
2368        criteria, return to simple (default) tape IO format.
2369    o pkg/mdsio (+ eesupp/src):
2370      - rewrite/simplify tape-IO S/R (new S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_TAPE replace
2371        previous MDSREAD/WRITEVECTOR) with 2 array argument from each type (R4/R8);
2372      - fix globalFile and singleCpuIO options using simpler global mapping.
2373      - new pairs of scatter/gather vector S/R (one for each type, generated from
2374        template) corresponding to simpler global mapping.
2375      - adread_write.F: switch to new S/R (but leave old calls commented) and write
2376        to globalFile when parameter globalFiles is set to True.
2377      - switch on useSingleCpuIO in AD experiments: global_ocean.90x40x15 & isomip.
2378    o pkg/autodiff:
2379      - adread_adwrite.F: add a hack for RS arrays (when RS=real*4);
2380        with ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO defined, since corresponding (real*4) is
2381        missing, just add a STOP if array type do not match.
2382    o pkg/exf:
2383      - to allow to use seaice-fraction from pkg/exf in other pkgs than pkg/seaice:
2384         rename CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX to EXF_SEAICE_FRACTION
2385         and rename array obsSIce to exf_iceFraction.
2386    o tutorial_deep_convection:
2387      - add 1rst version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code (from Louis-Philippe),
2388        for now all in this exp. code dir.
2389      - add secondary test using Smag-3D viscosity (keep very low backgroud visc for
2390        testing) and flux-limter advection scheme for Temp. (no explicit diffusion).
2391    o eesupp/src:
2392      - added SINGLE_DISK_IO option because reading of parameter files on
2393        very large number of processors did not work with existing set-up
2394    
2395    checkpoint64o (2013/09/25)
2396    o pkg/atm_phys & atm_compon_interf:
2397      - allows for coupling of gray-atmosphere (atm_phys) with ocean.
2398    o tools/build_options:
2399      - switch from "-fPIC" to "-mcmodel=medium" in optfiles: linux_amd64_gfortran
2400        & linux_amd64_ifort11 and in linux_amd64_g77 & linux_amd64_open64 also
2401        remove CPP setting (was identical to genmake2 default).
2402    o pkg/gmredi & model/src: Some updating and work done on the residual model.
2403      - created new file model/src/calc_eddy_stress.F to calculate the eddy stress.
2404      - fixed up the calculation of the eddy stress and how it is added to the
2405        external forcing via taueddy_external_forcing.F
2406      - at the moment, it is very experimental and only works with the variable eddy
2407        diffusivity calculated in gmredi_k3d.F
2408    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: add a check to catch the case of specifying
2409        lw/swfluxfile instead of lw/swdownfile in data.exf together with pkg/seaice
2410    o testreport (& tools/do_tst_2+2):
2411      - for MPI test, set default COMMAND to 'mpirun -v -np TR_NPROC ./{executable}'
2412    o tools/build_options: linux_amd64_gfortran & linux_amd64_ifort11:
2413      - remove CPP='cpp -traditional -P' (this is genmake2 default)
2414      - add switch (for big setups) to use 'medium' memory-model (but leave it
2415        commented out for now). Note: needed with FC 19 to compile big setups.
2416    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
2417      - regroup per field origin (model & pkgs) the coupling storage routines
2418         (which accumalate in time each coupling field)
2419      - move bi,bj loops inside atm_store_my_data.F and store also wind-stress;
2420        update accordingly + simplify aim_do_physics.F
2421    
2422    checkpoint64n (2013/08/26)
2423    o pkg/bbl:
2424      - update formulation to reduce dispersion of tracer properties in bbl
2425      - replaced horizontal and vertical transport parameters with velocities
2426      - changes results for verification/global_with_exf.yearly
2427    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
2428      - change to matrix construction; update both Fwd & AD output.
2429    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
2430      - OpenAD test: switch to vector-invariant momentum since fluxform with
2431        rStar causes problems with OpenAD; update output.
2432    o tools:
2433      - genmake2: define a common prefix for all temp-file names ; move them
2434        to local /tmp disk (but would be easy to move them back);
2435      - xmakedepend: apply the same switch for temp-files.
2436    o pkg/offline:
2437      - changes for use with rStar (NLFS): assume that we continue to provide
2438        UVELMASS/hFacW_ini & VVELMASS/hFacS_ini (hFacWi,S_ini as written in grid
2439        output files) and apply r* scaling at each time-step (function of the time
2440        varying Eta field); use normal pickup files (needed for restart with NLFS).
2441    o adjoint with OpenAD:
2442      - move OpenAD-specific files from verification/OpenAD/code_oad_all to a new
2443        package openad.  This package has to be compiled for all runs with OpenAD
2444        instead of specifying code_oad_all as a modification directory.
2445      - link the fortran templates from tools/OAD_support to the build directory
2446        for preprocessing to avoid conflicts between different setups compiled
2447        simultaneously and simplify cleanup.
2448    o pkg/exf:
2449      - in exf_getforcing.F: comment out most of the EXCH calls (fields used by
2450        main model or other pkgs are exchanged in EXF_MAPFIELDS).
2451    o model/src:
2452      - do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F: skip EXCH calls when using pkg/offline
2453        (similar to do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F).
2454    o tools/genmake2:
2455      - remove TAF output src code just before calling staf (when not doing a fresh
2456        built, will stop if things go wrong with staf).
2457      - fix target "adobj" (left from TAF version-2 transition)
2458    o pkg/diagnostics:
2459      - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;
2460        this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check
2461        when adding diag to the list) to also check any DIAGNOSTICS_[]FILL* call.
2462        New S/R to print error message and stop when pkgStatus is not right.
2463      - to try: add a warning when "data.diagnostics" exist but useDiagnostics=F.
2464    
2465    checkpoint64m (2013/08/13)
2466    o model/inc:
2467      - move FCORI_MACROS.h from PARAMS(_MACROS).h to GRID_MACROS.h (left from
2468        8 yrs ago modif when Coriolis arrays were moved from PARAMS.h to GRID.h)
2469    o pkg/kpp & aim_v23:
2470      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
2471    o pkg/seaice:
2472      - restore (last time on 2011/12/24) ability to compile pkg/seaice with
2473        undefined pkg/exf ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_RUNOFF CPP-options.
2474      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
2475    o eesupp/src:
2476      - fix check for overlap-size argument (myOLn.GT.MAX_OLY_EXCH)
2477        in exch1_rx[_ad].template (thanks to Francois Lefeuvre report).
2478    o switch to TAF version-2:
2479      - add flow directives to "freeze" naming convention for ad-routines that
2480        are used in I/O routines of adjoint state and associated common blocks
2481        that are used in adcommon.h (backward compatible with version-1)
2482      - update all ad-optfiles (in tools/adjoint_options + few local to some
2483        verification exp) to switch to latest TAF version (currently 2.5.5);
2484        merge "*_mpi" adoptfiles into the corresponding non-mpi (but commented
2485        out except for diva).
2486      - the major change with TAF version-2 is that both the differentiated
2487        routines and the forward routines (new) are returned as part of the TAF
2488        output source code. Update genmake2 accordingly.
2489      - new output for AD experiment tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (better AD gradient
2490        with version-2 when compared to TLM or FWD gradient); other experiments
2491        output show minor changes (machine truncation level); update the few AD &
2492        TLM output with 12 matching digits only (some prior to version-2 switch).
2493    
2494    checkpoint64l (2013/08/05)
2495    o model/src:
2496      - in dynamics.F, skip the call to CALC_VISCOSITY if momViscosity=F
2497      - main_do_loop.F: no longer includes additional (AUTODIFF) header files
2498        when using TAF but only if using OpenAD.
2499    o pkg/mom_common+fluxform+vecinv:
2500      - always set horiz. viscosity arrays to background value before calling
2501        MOM_CALC_VISC (in MOM_FLUXFORM & MOM_VECINV) and call S/R MOM_CALC_VISC
2502        only when using variable horiz. viscosity (useVariableVisc=T);
2503      - simplify mom_vecinv.F (only 1 block for momViscosity).
2504    o pkg/mom_common: variable horiz. viscosity in NH code
2505      - move horiz-viscosity 3-D arrays viscAh_W & viscA4_W (used in calc_gw.F)
2506        from model/inc/NH_VARS.h to pkg/mom_common/MOM_VISC.h
2507      - store in common block (in MOM_VISC.h) logical parameters: useHarmonicVisc,
2508        useBiharmonicVisc & useVariableVisc.
2509      - fix old bug (already in 1rst implementation of variable horizontal viscosity
2510        in calc_gw.F, version 1.27, 2006/06/20):
2511        horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity in gW was missing when wiscA4W=0
2512        even if variable bi-harmonic viscosity (e.g., viscA4Grid) was non-zero.
2513      - change background horiz viscosity in vertical momentum (gW) to always be
2514        viscAhW,viscA4W (instead of switching to viscAhD, viscA4D when using
2515        any type of variable viscosity, e.g., viscAh/4Grid)
2516      - change default value of viscAhW,viscA4W to viscAhD,viscA4D (instead of
2517        viscAh,viscA4) which default to viscAh,viscA4 :  this avoid missing
2518        horiz. viscosity in W eq when just setting viscAhD/Z,viscA4D/Z (since
2519        default viscAh,viscA4 is zero).
2520    o model/src:
2521      - extend length of drC & recip_drC from Nr to Nr+1.
2522    o Divided Adjoint (DIVA) with MPI:
2523      - genmake2: do not create local ./mpi_headers dir when no file to copy into.
2524      - remove option ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT_MPI (replaced by ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT
2525        and ALLOW_USE_MPI) from model/src code and from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h.
2526    
2527    checkpoint64k (2013/07/23)
2528    o tools/OAD_support:
2529      - avoid the need for file "oadtempflile" in insertTemplateDir.bash
2530        and remove it from genmake2.
2531    o tools/build_options:
2532      - remove MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC setting (no longer used) and comment out
2533        MPI_HEADER_FILES list (let genmake2 find the missing headers)
2534    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
2535      - change to driving stress formulation; update both Fwd & AD output.
2536    o tools/genmake2 and Divided Adjoint with MPI:
2537      - remove default setting of MPIINCLUDEDIR from $MPIHOME (always been broken);
2538      - only create local ./mpi_headers dir if using MPI and MPIINCLUDEDIR is set;
2539      - add new variable (LOCAL_MPI_HEADERS, replace MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC) in
2540        Makefile, which is set by genmake2, and check which mpi-headers are needed.
2541        Note: need to update adjoint_options/adjoint_diva_mpi accordingly.
2542      - update target "CLEAN" (to also remove ./mpi_headers/ dir).
2543    o testreport:
2544      - changes for Divided Adjoint Run: when file "run_ADM_DIVA" is present,
2545        perform additional runs (number of additional runs is "add_DIVA_runs" taken
2546        from file run_ADM_DIVA ; should match "nchklev_3" in file "code_ad/tamc.h").
2547    o verification/lab_sea (AD test):
2548      - change to test Divided Adjoint Run in this set-up (both standard AD test
2549        and 2 secondary AD test: noseaice + noseaicedyn); drop the evp AD test.
2550    o pkg atm_ & ocn_compon_interf:
2551      - remove cpl_earlyExpImpCall=F option (was mainly a hack added for the old
2552        staggerTimeStep implementation) and disable (retired) corresponding
2553        parameter.
2554    o pkg/offline:
2555      - comment out unused field-array: ICEM, ConvectCount, hflx[01], icem[01];
2556      - add S/R OFFLINE_CHECK to print offline parameter summary
2557        and stop if loading a file that is not used;
2558      - enable to calculate GMRedi tensor, KPP mixing and convective index
2559        when the corresponding file(s) is/are not specified (but pkg is used).
2560      - comment out resetting of monitorFreq (to endTime) since it still useful
2561        for monitoring CFL numbers and checking offline fields.
2562    o OpenAD:
2563      - do not define OAD_DEBUG (in tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad) to get
2564        smaller standard output) and generate new (smaller) output (on baudelaire
2565        using gfortran with -ieee) for exp. tutorial_tracer_adjsens
2566    o model/src:
2567      - call EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF outside bi,bj loops (in do_oceanic_phys.F),
2568        (where external_forcing_adjust was called) and change list of arguments;
2569      - merge external_forcing_adjust.F into external_forcing_surf.F
2570      - put surface relaxation of SST & SSS in new S/R (forcing_surf_relax.F)
2571        which also contains balancing surface relaxation (ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX,
2572        previously in file "balance_relax.F", now removed); remove corresponding
2573        arrays in FFIELDS.h.
2574      - EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF is now called when using pkg/offline; implement
2575        a hack for getting back surfaceForcingS (loaded from file) when using
2576        ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (pkg/dic, in DIC_OPTIONS.h) in offline set-up.
2577      - update output of AD test experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix
2578        (was getting only 11 digits for AD-grad, due to different truncation
2579         error in AD code).
2580    
2581    checkpoint64j (2013/07/04)
2582    o pkg/offline:
2583      - to enable the use of other features with pkg offline (e.g., obcs),
2584        also call S/R DO_OCEANIC_PHYS in offline run - more modifs to come.
2585      - comment out "allowFreezing" (now active) in 2 offline testing exp.
2586    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
2587      - fix sign and make compatible with temp_EvPrRn .NE. UNSET_RL
2588      - ahdded RUNOFTEMP test to verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
2589      - changes verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/results/output.seaice.txt
2590    o pkg/atm_phys:
2591      - allows to add some damping on uVel,vVel (strength only function of k).
2592    o verification, ad-tests:
2593      - reduce length of the simulation for AD test: global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice,
2594        global_ocean_ebm and offline_exf_seaice.thsice.
2595    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
2596      - found a bug in s/r pkg/streamice/streamice_advect_thickness which caused
2597        flux input boundary conditions to be ignored; a fix for this bug changed
2598        verification results for forward test.
2599      - add adjoint test.
2600    o pkg/ptracers:
2601      - allow to restart without SOM pickup (resetting SOM to zero).
2602    o pkg/gmredi:
2603      - New parameterisation for the calculation of K and (GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY) added.
2604      - It uses mixing length theory and suppression by steering level effects to
2605        calculate a diffusivity used in the Redi tensor (see Bates et al., submitted
2606        to JPO, for more details).
2607      - It also uses the diffusivity to calculate an eddy induced streamfunction
2608        based on a PV closure (rather than a buoyancy closure as in GM).
2609      - New files added to pkg/gmredi:
2610        gmredi_k3d.F calculates the diffusivity for the Redi tensor and the eddy
2611          induced overturning streamfunction (called from gmredi_calc_tensor)
2612        gmredi_calc_eigs.F calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors required
2613          for use in gmredi_k3d
2614        gmredi_calc_urms.F calculates the the rms eddy velocity used to calculate
2615          the eddy diffusivity
2616    
2617    checkpoint64i (2013/06/18)
2618    o pkg/cheapaml:
2619      - take src files from MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/offline_cheapaml/code
2620        that enable the use of seaice (pkg/thsice thermo & pkg/seaice dynamics)
2621        with pkg/cheapaml.
2622    o utils/python: add subpackage for cubed sphere function, first example is
2623        simple cs.pcol to plot 2D fields on a map
2624    o pkg/streamice:
2625      - This is a new package in MITgcm, which solves dynamic equations for ice
2626         sheets and ice streams
2627      - At the moment it is independent of atmosphere/ocean dynamics, or any
2628        other physical packages in MITgcm, even ShelfIce (although it is anticipat-
2629        ed that this will change)
2630      - There is a new verification exercise that tests it, halfpipe_streamice,
2631        evolves a 40x80 km ice stream/ice shelf (at coarse resolution) in a
2632        rectangular embayment
2633      - halfpipe_streamice is forward-only for now, will have TAF test soon
2634      - for questions, email dgoldber@mit.edu
2635    o pkg/thsice:
2636      - fix filling of snow-precip diagnostic (SIsnwPrc) (left from the removing
2637        of snowPrc from common bloc, on May 2nd, thsice_step_fwd.F revision 1.40);
2638      - remove diagnostics 'SI_FrcFx' ( now identical to 'SI_Fract' with new
2639         call sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect );
2640      - allow precip from pkg/cheapaml to make snow over seaice.
2641    o pkg/cfc:
2642      - move in separated header file (CFC_ATMOS.h) time-serie arrays of Atmos CFC
2643      - remove atmos CFC 2-D arrays from common bloc (now local variables)
2644      - change some hard-coded constant to run time parameter for reading and
2645        and interpolating atmospheric CFC ; keep same default as previously.
2646      - more flexible reading of Atmos CFC (number of records no longer hard-coded)
2647      - put arguments in standard order: myTime, myIter, myThid
2648      - use standard S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL for time interpolation of
2649        atmospheric CFC ; fix for the case myIter < PTRACERS_iter0.
2650      - fix calculation of surf tendencys for partial-cell and/or Non-Lin Free-Surf
2651      - new routine to print summary of CFC params and check for consistency.
2652    o pkg/seaice: add uice/vice to the parameter list of s/r seaice_advdiff,
2653      similar to thsice_advdiff.
2654      Note that for the B-grid case the routine parameters uc/vc are overwritten.
2655    o pkg/cfc:
2656      - change time interpolation for atmospheric CFC-11 (now same as for CFC-12);
2657        update output (CFC-11) of experiment cfc_example and tutorial_cfc_offline.
2658      - fix interpolation of atmphspheric CFC between Sorthern and Northern
2659        hemisphere value.
2660    o pkg/seaice:
2661      - allow to use seaice dynamics without pkg/exf (e.g., using pkg/cheapaml)
2662    o pkg/seaice: add Adams-Bashforth2 time discretization for ice dynamics;
2663                  so far only for JFNK-solver, turn on with SEAICEuseAB2 = .TRUE.
2664      - requires an additional time level that is stored in the pickup
2665      - you can start with AB2 from a pickup without this time level with
2666        pickupStrictlyMatch = .false.
2667    
2668    checkpoint64h (2013/05/26)
2669    o pkg/cheapaml:
2670      - replace one ()**.5 with SQRT + use temp var "cdu = tau/Du" (coare3_flux);
2671        affect machine truncation (but exp cheapAML_box still pass with 13 digits).
2672      - consistent treatment of uWind,vWind location: assume everywhere in
2673        pkg/cheapaml that they are on C-grid (@ uVel,vVel location)
2674        (Note: was already the case for Tair,Qair advection);
2675        add option (INCONSISTENT_WIND_LOCATION) to recover old results.
2676      - compute diabatic forcing only in the interior (excluding overlap regions)
2677      - fill in array "Qsw" (for short-wave heating);
2678      - add diagnostic for precip ; fill-in diagnostics for cheapAML state vars
2679        before any update (consistent with MITgcm state var diagnostics);
2680      - cheapaml_fields_load.F & cheapaml_init_varia.F : only fill outer edges if
2681        non periodic ; + adjusted for uWind,vWind (C-grid).
2682    o pkg/seaice:
2683      - remove dependence of pkg/seaice versus pkg/exf (file: pkg/pkg_depend) and
2684        add explicitly pkg/exf in experiments that currently use pkg/seaice.
2685      - allows to compile pkg/seaice without pkg/exf.
2686    o tools/OAD_support:
2687      - use a local copy (ourRWCPinBd) to ensure index ourRWCP stays within bounds
2688        of array "ourStepOf" in function rvNextAction (revolve.F90).
2689    o pkg/aim_compon_interf renamed to pkg/atm_compon_interf
2690      - change pkg name (to be used with other atmospheric physics pkg)
2691        but by-pass CVS when making the new pkg so that we keep the CVS history.
2692    o pkg/offline:
2693      - call OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD from pkg/offline/offline_init_varia.F
2694        (previously called from pkg/dic_surfforcing_init.F)
2695    o model/src:
2696      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_init_variables.F, using
2697        standard order, except for:
2698         DIAGNOSTICS_INIT_VARIA and OFFLINE_INIT_VARIA (called @ the top),
2699         CTRL_MAP_INI and OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES (called @ the bottom)
2700    o new pkg: atm_phys
2701      - add entry point and source code (previously in contrib
2702          verification_other/atm_gray/code_gray/) for new pkg "atm_phys"
2703        (atmospheric physics pkg from P. O'Gorman and T. Schneider, JCl, 2008).
2704      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_readparms.F,
2705         packages_init_fixed.F and packages_write_pickup.F
2706        (but skip packages_init_variables.F because of TAF issues).
2707      - update contrib/*/atm_gray/ experiment.
2708    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
2709      - simplify and fix the writing of pickup-files for ITD case
2710    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
2711      - introduce floe size dependent lateral melt for ITD case;
2712      - cleaning (avoid division by zero, change to f77 syntax, remove tabs)
2713      - update seaice_itd experiment main output.
2714    o pkg/thsice:
2715      - remove snowPrc from common block THSICE_FLUX, in THSICE_VARS.h and
2716        declared it locally (without bi,bj) in thsice_main.F & aim_do_physics.F;
2717        changed accordingly pkg/atm2d.
2718    
2719    checkpoint64g (2013/05/01)
2720    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
2721      - if defined,  river and glacier runoff temperature can be read-in from
2722        runoftempfile; runoftempfile needs to have same format as runofffile
2723    o pkg/thsice (& pkg/bulk_force):
2724      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
2725        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap (like with pkg/exf).
2726      - change computation domain to always be the interior (without overlap).
2727      - fix bug (wrong overlap) when using EXF and stressReduction > 0.
2728    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
2729      - add preliminary OpenAD setup (still has problems)
2730    o pkg/seaice:
2731      - turn some parameters for choosing the convergence criterion of
2732        the inexact Newton method (JFNK) into runtime parameters for convenience
2733      - clean up seaice_calc_viscosities.F: remove/retire two options for
2734        SEAICetaZmethod (1,2), introduce area weighting for method 3; this changes
2735        the results of lab_sea/input because a division has been replaced by
2736        a multiplication with the reciprocal (sumNorm)
2737      - modify offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk/data.seaice to improve
2738        convergence of solver (changes results, of course), and to test some
2739        new features
2740    o model/src:
2741      - remove unused (since Aug 2006) S/R SET_WRITE_GLOBAL_PICKUP and its call.
2742      - remove unused forcing field "dQdT" and associated parameter "dQdTFile".
2743      - move forcing adjustment (balancing surface forcing) in specific S/R
2744        where might also be applied exchanges (if needed) to forcing arrays.
2745    o pkg/shelfice:
2746      - allow to specify the Ice-Shelf mass per unit area (instead of
2747        shelficeLoadAnomaly) and do the conversion from one to the other
2748      - move loading from file of shelficeLoadAnomaly from SHELFICE_INIT_VARIA
2749        to SHELFICE_INIT_FIXED: (a) avoid some TAF recompution issues and
2750        (b) will be loaded in time (before calling INI_PRESSURE) in case it is
2751        needed in phi0surf for initial pressure calculation when useDynP_inEos_Zc
2752      - update isomip experiment forward output (get machine truncation error
2753        from conversion shelficeLoadAnomaly -> shelficeMass -> shelficeLoadAnomaly)
2754    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
2755      revise data.seaice in input.thermo and input_ad and update results accordingly
2756        HO = 0.2, SEAICE_areaLossFormula = 2,
2757        SEAICE_growMeltByConv = .TRUE.,
2758        SEAICE_doOpenWaterMelt = .TRUE.,
2759      Improve consistency with input.thsice and fix the spurious 500m ice corners
2760    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
2761      - set Energy Reference Level to liq. water @ 0 degC: temp_EvPrRn=0.,
2762        in icedyn (thsice+seaice-dyn) test and update output.
2763    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
2764      - adjust list of tested variables (with testreport) and update
2765        standard test output with better slection of monitored fields.
2766    o pkg/cd_code:
2767      - swtich off Adams-Bashforth on the 1rst iteration. Update output of
2768        experiment lab_sea.hb87
2769    o tools/genmake2:
2770      - change default makedepend from the system default to tools/xmakedepend:
2771        When no makedepend is specified, select tools/xmakedepend it the test pass,
2772        otherwise select the system default (if exist and pass the test) or
2773        try to build cyrus-makedepend ; stop if none of the 3 works.
2774    o pkg/exf & pkg/thsice:
2775      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
2776        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap. Assumes:
2777       1) Rain has same temp as Air.
2778       2) Snow has no heat capacity (consistent with seaice & thsice pkgs)
2779       3) Run-Off comes at the temp of surface water (with same Cp)
2780       4) Evap over ocean is released to the Atmos @ surf-temp (=SST); should be
2781        put directly into Latent Heat flux & should use water-vapor heat capacity.
2782       5) Evap over snow/seaice (pkg/thsice) assumes constant Lf+Lv (consistent
2783        with snow having no Cp) => water vapor is released to Atmos @ 0^oC (=ERL).
2784    o pkg/seaice: simplify the use of CPP flags in JFNK-related files
2785        (compile when SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK is defined)
2786    o pkg/thsice:
2787      - fix oceanic flux diagnostics & timeave (left from new sequence of calls
2788        implementation): move THSICE_AVE call after the advection (called directly
2789        from thsice_do_advect.F).
2790    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 and OpenAD:
2791      New experiment for OpenAD is identical to the one in input_ad except that
2792        multiDimAdvection=.FALSE.,
2793      There is still an issue with this.
2794    o pkg/thsice:
2795      - account for ice velocity (ocean relative velocity) in turbulent heat flux
2796        at the base of the ice; update output of global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn)
2797        and offline_exf_seaice (main test).
2798    
2799    checkpoint64f (2013/03/31)
2800    o verification/OpenAD:
2801      - new (smaller, without OAD_DEBUG) output_oadm.txt generated using gfortran.
2802    o verification/isomip, pkg/shelfice and OpenAD:
2803      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make shelfice package work with OpenAD
2804    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
2805      - update AD and TLM output after turning off ALLOW_FE (in DIC_OPTIONS.h)
2806    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
2807      - replace adjoint experiment (now similar to fwd input.thermo/ setup).
2808    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens, pkg/ptracers and OpenAD:
2809      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make ptracers package work with OpenAD
2810    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F:
2811       mask the asymmetric contribution of the ice-ocean stress (when
2812       the turningAngle is non-zero) over open water to avoid stripes
2813       in the EVP-solutions after many EVP-substeps. This does not change
2814       the verification experiment (because turningAngle=0 in that experiment),
2815       but will affect other EVP solutions with turningAngle.ne.0
2816    o verification, AD & TLM output:
2817      - new TAF version 2.3.10 (previously 2.3.8) add more parenthesis in multiple
2818        additions and multiplications which affect results at machine truncation
2819        level. Update few AD output (1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5,
2820        lab_sea.noseaicedyn & offline_exf_seaice) and TLM output
2821        (1D_ocean_ice_column & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.som81) which had only 12
2822        digits of matching.
2823    o pkg/seaice:
2824       modify lsr-algorithm so that it vectorizes AND converges by using a
2825       "zebra" method: split vector loop into two with step size 2; this
2826       solves a general convergence problem for the JFNK solver on a vector
2827       computer. It has the potential to even improve convergence for
2828       non-vector machines, but it does change the results so it is turned
2829       off by default. To turn on define CPP-flags SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and
2830       SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
2831    
2832    checkpoint64e (2013/03/05)
2833    o pkg/ecco and several verification experiments:
2834       Remove special versions of the_model_main.F, the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F
2835       from ecco package, and revert to unified routine in model/src/
2836       Adjust verification experiments accordingly, especially gloal_oce_llc90
2837       Should conclude long-standing work by Gael to reconsile the_main_loop with
2838       ECCO and will enable OpenAD's revolve loop in ECCO setup.
2839    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
2840      - implement compressible flow method for multi-dim advection (similar to
2841        gad_som_advect.F); add new option "GAD_MULTIDIM_COMPRESSIBLE" (since
2842        TAF generates many recomputations) to use it; no yet coded with implicit
2843        vertical advection.
2844      - change experiment advect_cs (new output) and advect_xy (same output)
2845        to test compressible flow multi-dim advection.
2846    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
2847      - fix SOM advection for unusual cases (linear Free-Surf in r*, other
2848        cases where linear Free-Surf is not @ k=1, e.g., useShelfIce)
2849    o pkg/seaice:
2850      - fix bug in the no-slip implementation in seaice_calc_strainrates.F, this
2851        bug affects two verification experiments (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87),
2852        recover old (wrong) results by setting noSlipFac = 2. in
2853        seaice_calc_strainrates.F;
2854      - add another averaging method for etaZ (etaZmethod=3), a mix of 2 and 0
2855      - add runtime parameter SEAICE_JFNKepsilon for that finite difference
2856        gradient in the Jacobian times vector operation (s/r seaice_jacvec)
2857      - fix line search in seaice_jfnk.F (s/r seaice_jfnk_update)
2858    o pkg/seaice: reorganize seaice_lsr.F to be able to reuse more code:
2859      - new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
2860      - introduce loop bounds i/jmin/max to be able to use a restricted
2861        additive Schwarz method, but not used for now.
2862      - rename SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS into SEAICE_LSR_CALC_COEFFS
2863      - use new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v in s/r seaice_preconditioner
2864    o OpenAD support
2865       Reorganize S/R call for overall time-stepping loop to facilitate
2866       OpenAD revolve loop replacement
2867       (new S/R main_do_loop.F)
2868    o model/src:
2869      - add 3-D array 3rd dimension to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2/3;
2870      - pkg/cheapaml: remove local S/R ADAMS2d and use instead standard S/R
2871        ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
2872    o pkg/cheapaml:
2873      - add new parameter (default=F, same as before) to disable full domain
2874        (including land) periodicity in X & Y dir.
2875      - new S/R CHEAPAML_COPY_EDGES to copy relaxation field into edges of
2876        prognostics field ; merge the 2 S/R cycle_2d_tracer and timestep_2d_tracer
2877        into single S/R CHEAPAML_TIMESTEP.
2878    
2879    checkpoint64d (2013/02/17)
2880    o pkg/monitor (angular momentum):
2881      - do not add Eta contribution to the total AM if using rigid-lid;
2882      - correct for Adams-Bashforth in zonal-wind part (instead of in AM_eta).
2883      - horizontal discretisation: compute Zonal wind contribution separately for
2884        each component (instead of from cell centered averaged) and use the 4
2885        grid-cell corner averaged value of Omega*(R*cos_Phi)^2 in AM_eta part.
2886      - Check that AM is conserved with linear dynamics (momAdvection=F and linear
2887        FreeSurf) if using vectorInvariant momentum.
2888    o model/src (horizontal grid):
2889      - move initialisation of all horizontal grid arrays to null value
2890        from specific horizontal grid S/R to main S/R INI_GRID;
2891      - add 2 new arrays to project model C-grid velocity on to zonal direction
2892        (similar to AngleCosC & -AngleSinC but at U and V point location) and
2893        compute them in S/R CALC_GRID_ANGLES.
2894    o pkg/seaice: replace a hard coded parameter by a runtime parameter
2895        SEAICE_JFNK_tolIter
2896    o pkg/seaice: introduce a restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) method in
2897        preconditioner for JFNK (run LSR into the overlaps as far as possible,
2898        i.e OLx/y-2, but overwrite the solution in the overlaps)
2899      - extend loop range in seaice_calc_viscosity
2900      - add new parameters SEAICE_OLx/y (default = OLx/y-2)
2901      - add flexible loop ranges to seaice_preconditioner, seaice_calc_lsr_coeffs
2902      - slightly modify loops in tridiagonal solver lsr-preconditioner
2903      - by default remove the extra exchange in seaice_preconditioner with a
2904        replacement of an undocumented CPP flag by SEAICE_PRECOND_EXTRA_EXCHANGE
2905      - modify offline_exf_seaice so that old results without RAS are reproduced
2906        for output.dyn_jfnk.txt
2907      in seaice_fgmres.F (unrelated to RAS)
2908      - add a cpp-flag option for a re-ordered mapping (potentially more
2909        efficient), but because this changes the results, turn it off by
2910        default
2911      - replace the save statement by local common blocks
2912    o utils/matlab:
2913      - fix tile-offset in rdmnc.m when output was produced using EXCH2.
2914      - update cs_grid/bk_line scripts to use load_grid.m (in utils/matlab)
2915        instead of local script "load_cs.m".
2916    o pkg/seaice:
2917      - fix a serious bug in seaice_fgmres.F, s/r seaice_scalprod, connected
2918        to the scalarProductMetric and the unrolling. By chance this does not
2919        change the verification experiment, because of the particular domain
2920        decomposition
2921    o pkg/diagnostics:
2922      - change default missing_value from UNSET_RL to -999.
2923    o pkg/layers: improve vectorization of layers_fluxcalc.F
2924      - step 1: split loops, make TatU/V 2D arrays. This alone reduces the cpu
2925        time spent in this routine by more than a factor of 3 on an NEC-SX8
2926      - step 2: replace search algorithm by a bisection algorithm found in
2927        Press et al. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This algorithm can be
2928        vectorized and finds the correct bin in approx. log2(Nlayers) steps.
2929        For now, use this algorithm only for TARGET_NEC_SX defined.
2930      - moved the search algorithm into a separate subroutine, that is kept
2931        within the same file for automatic inlining.
2932      - modified catching potential errors
2933    o pkg/ecco:
2934      - add compile switches ALLOW_SHALLOW_ALTIMETRY and ALLOW_HIGHLAT_ALTIMETRY.
2935    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk :
2936      - modifications for ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
2937      -- forward_step.F, the_main_loop.F : pass options and arrays for adjoint tapes.
2938      -- load_fields_driver.F : add call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D( myTime, myIter, myThid )
2939      -- add xx_gentim2d0/1 in ctrl_ad_check_lev1_dir.h checkpoint_lev1_directives.h etc
2940      -- use ctrl_swapffields.F (new) instead of exf_SwapFFields.F in ctrl_get_gen.F
2941    o model/src:
2942      - account for moist thermodynamics in (dry) potential temperature equation;
2943        update results of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs (std + aqualev)
2944        and cpl_aim+ocn.
2945      - also switch to standard compiler (gfortran, was using ifort previously)
2946        for fizhi-cs experiments reference output.
2947    o pkg/ctrl:
2948      - 1st step toward generic time-varying control variable (2D) via CPP option
2949        ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
2950      - note new namelist ctrl_nml_genarr in data.ctrl
2951    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
2952      - switch off OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE (both forward and AD code) to use new
2953        thsice calling sequence and update "output.icedyn.txt" output file.
2954    o pkg/ptracers:
2955      - from Ryan A.: code to allow to restart a tracer at regular time interval
2956        specifying a reset frequency and a reset-phase (for each tracers).
2957    o pkg/thsice:
2958      - implement new sequence of calls for thsice+seaice:
2959          previously:   ice-Dyn,ice-Advect,ice-Thermo(thsice)
2960          new sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect
2961      - allows (with temporary CPP option "#define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE"
2962        in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to recover old sequence;
2963      - update diagnostics for Intermediate State thsice diagnostics: now filled
2964        just before advection (instead of just after advection in old sequence);
2965      - update output of experiment offline_exf_seaice (standard test);
2966      - in global_ocean.cs32x15 exp., postpone output.icedyn.txt update
2967        by setting #define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE in CPP_OPTIONS.h
2968    o pkg/aim_v23:
2969      - use tiled array for aim_CO2 and surface wind speed for export to coupler;
2970      - use standard pkg/mdsio routines to read & write CO2 pickup file;
2971      - in-line S/R AIM_AIM2DYN_EXCHANGES in aim_do_physics.F;
2972      - Implement new sequence of calls for seaice advection (with thsice and
2973        seaice diffusion): do ice advection after ice-Thermodynamic (previously
2974        was done before); change aim_do_physics.F (split the bi,bj loops block);
2975      - use same CPP option (OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE) to recover old sequence;
2976    o pkg/thsice:
2977      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
2978        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
2979    
2980    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
2981    o pkg/seaice:
2982      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
2983        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
2984      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
2985      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
2986        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
2987      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
2988        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
2989        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
2990        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
2991    o pkg/mdsio:
2992      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
2993        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
2994        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
2995        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
2996    o pkg/exf & thsice:
2997      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
2998        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
2999    o verification/cfc_example:
3000      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
3001        illustrate how to use it).
3002    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
3003      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
3004        files to only one time-record.
3005      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
3006        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
3007        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
3008        surf-current=0.2m/s.
3009      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
3010        initial conditions).
3011    o verification/cfc_example:
3012      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
3013        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
3014        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
3015    o pkg/layers:
3016      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
3017      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
3018    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
3019      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
3020        anywhere else).
3021    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
3022      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
3023      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
3024    o model/src:
3025      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
3026        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
3027    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
3028      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
3029        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
3030        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
3031        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
3032        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
3033        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
3034        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
3035      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
3036        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
3037        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
3038        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
3039        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
3040        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
3041    o pkg/cheapaml:
3042      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
3043    o pkg/seaice:
3044      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
3045        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
3046    o model/src:
3047      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
3048        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
3049        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
3050    o pkg/cheapaml:
3051      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
3052        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
3053      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
3054        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
3055      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
3056      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
3057        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
3058    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
3059      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
3060    o pkg/seaice:
3061      - remove legacy branch code.
3062      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
3063    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
3064      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
3065        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
3066    o pkg/cheapaml:
3067      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
3068        to load new forcing fields.
3069      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
3070      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
3071        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
3072    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
3073      - add thermodynamics only test.
3074    o verification/cheapAML_box:
3075      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
3076        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
3077      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
3078        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
3079    
3080    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
3081    o pkg/cheapaml:
3082      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
3083      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
3084        and fix the AB-2 restart.
3085    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
3086      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
3087      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
3088      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
3089      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
3090    o pkg/seaice:
3091      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
3092        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
3093        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
3094        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
3095    o model/src:
3096      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
3097        (in case of a poor convergence).
3098    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
3099      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
3100        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
3101        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
3102        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
3103      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
3104        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
3105        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
3106        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
3107    o verification/seaice_obcs:
3108      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
3109        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
3110    o model/src:
3111      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
3112    o pkg/seaice:
3113      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
3114        cleaning up the code
3115      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
3116        second argument
3117      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
3118        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
3119      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
3120    o pkg/aim_v23:
3121      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
3122    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
3123      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
3124        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
3125        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
3126            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
3127      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
3128        default: not compiled and not used.
3129    o pkg/seaice:
3130      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
3131        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
3132        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
3133      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
3134      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
3135      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
3136    o verification:
3137      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
3138        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
3139        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
3140        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
3141        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
3142      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
3143    o pkg/exf:
3144      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
3145    o verification:
3146      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
3147        to test pkg/cheapaml.
3148    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
3149      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
3150    o pkg/seaice:
3151      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
3152      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
3153    o eesupp/src:
3154       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
3155    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
3156       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
3157         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
3158       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
3159         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
3160         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
3161         undocumented ifdefs
3162       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
3163    o tools/genmake2:
3164      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
3165        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
3166    
3167    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
3168    o pkg/autodiff:
3169      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
3170        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
3171        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
3172        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
3173        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
3174    o pkg/obcs:
3175      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
3176        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
3177    o pkg/seaice:
3178      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
3179        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
3180      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
3181    o pkg/aim_v23:
3182      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
3183    o pkg/shap_filt:
3184      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
3185        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
3186    o model/src:
3187      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
3188        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
3189      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
3190        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
3191        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
3192        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
3193    o pkg/seaice:
3194      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
3195        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
3196        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
3197        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
3198        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
3199      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
3200      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
3201        + introduce global field etaZ
3202        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
3203          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
3204        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
3205          seaice_preconditioner
3206      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
3207      - seaice_preconditioner:
3208        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
3209        + adjust printing of residuals
3210      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
3211        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
3212          seaice_init_fixed.F)
3213        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
3214        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
3215          interval to STDOUT
3216      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
3217        some operations
3218      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
3219        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
3220        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
3221      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
3222        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
3223    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
3224      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
3225      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
3226    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
3227    o pkg/autodiff
3228      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
3229        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
3230        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
3231    o pkg/seaice
3232      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
3233        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
3234        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
3235        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
3236        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
3237        code is not complete yet!!
3238      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
3239    o verification (using seaice):
3240      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
3241        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
3242      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
3243      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
3244        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
3245    o pkg/exf:
3246      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
3247        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
3248        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
3249    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
3250      - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
3251        this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
3252    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
3253      - remove ALLOW_LAYERS_OUTPUT ; fix snap-shot and time-ave output ;
3254      - snap-shot extended to all type of layers (not just the 1rst type);
3255      - remove layers variables when corresponding CPP option is undef.
3256    o pkg/layers:
3257      - rename pkg/layers variable and add new output (layer exist & un-weighted
3258        velocity in layer)
3259    o pkg/seaice:
3260      - simplify (?) ocean-drag coefficent computations by using
3261        the same routine in all three solvers (saves some code lines)
3262      - remove global fields DRAGA and DRAGS from C-grid code and
3263        declare them locally in lsr.F (the only place where they are
3264        still used)
3265      - update AD output of lab_sea.evp (very sensitive anyway).
3266    o pkg/seaice: add Jacobian-free Newton Krylov solver for ice dynamics
3267      (Lemieux et al. 2010, 2012). Turn on with the usual SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK
3268      and SEAICEuseJFNK=.true. A few things to note:
3269      - involves a FGMRES, that is parallel but very inefficient,
3270        because of many scalar products (global sums) in the Gram-Schmidt
3271        orthogonalization method. Needs to be replaced. Original code
3272        from J.-F. Lemieux
3273      - preconditioner for FGMRES is a stripped down version of LSOR
3274      - SOLV_MAX_ITERS is now used for LSOR as a solver and as a
3275        preconditioner. For the preconditioner, the default is set to 10.
3276      - Jacobian times vector is computed with finite differences
3277      - marginally related to JFNK-solver: add a smooth regularization for
3278        zeta with tanh that will improve convergence (Lemieux and Tremblay,

3284      - add S/R to flush IO unit (if intrinsic S/R flush is available)
3285      - flush standard & error msg unit before MPI termination
3286      - if debugMode, flush IO unit after printing msg
3287    o pkg/ctrl:
3288      - ctrl_unpack.F, ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL code: fix missing argument in call
