5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7  untagged  o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
8      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
9      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
10      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
11    x
12    checkpoint58x_post
13    o IO option for global-file compact format:
14      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
15      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
16      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
17      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
18    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
19    
20    checkpoint58w_post
21    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
22      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
23      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
24      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
25                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
26    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
27      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
28    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
29     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
30     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
31       mass points to avoid tau = 0
32     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
33    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
34    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
35      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
36    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
37    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
38    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
39      to all packages
40    
41    checkpoint58v_post
42    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
43      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
44    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
45    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
46      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
47    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
48      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
49      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
50    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
51      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
52    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
53     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
54     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
55     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
56       and serious testing.
57     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
58       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
59    
60    checkpoint58u_post
61    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
62    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
63    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
64    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
65      momentum calculation.
66    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
67    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
68      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
69      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
70    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
71      Linear Free surface
72    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
73    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
74    
75    checkpoint58t_post
76    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
77    o pkg/mdsio:
78     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
79       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
80       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
81     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
82     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
83       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
84     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
85       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
86     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
87    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
88       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
89      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
90       diagnostic pointer.
91    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
92    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
93    o fix multi-category seaice:
94     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
95       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
96     - fix short wave heat flux
97    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
98       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
99       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
100    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
101      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
102      * used C-grid and EVP solver
103      * used KPP, GM/Redi
104      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
105      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
106        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
107        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
108        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
109    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
110     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
111     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
112     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
113       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
114     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
115     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
116       as atemp, etc.
117    
118    checkpoint58s_post
119    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
120      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
121        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
122        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
123    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
124      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
125      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
126        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
127        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
128        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
129        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
130        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
131    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
132    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
133      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
134    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
135    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
136    
137    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
138      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
139      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
140      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
141      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
142      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
143      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
144      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
145      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
146      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
147    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
148      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
149      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
150      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
151    
152    checkpoint58r_post
153    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
154      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
155      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
156      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
157    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
158    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
159      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
160    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
161      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
162    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
163      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
164      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
165    o multi-threading and IO:
166      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
167      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
168        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
169    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
170      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
171    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
172      (will certainly be subject to changes)
173    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
174      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
175    
176    checkpoint58q_post
177    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
178      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
179      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
180    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
181      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
182      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
183    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
184      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
185    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
186    
187    checkpoint58p_post
188    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
189    o shelfice:
190     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
191     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
192       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
193       stable
194    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
195    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
196      and updated flow directives
197    
198    checkpoint58o_post
199    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
200      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
201    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
202      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
203    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
204    o simplify EXCH interface:
205     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
206     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
207    o added the regrid package
208    o shelfice:
209     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
210     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
211    
212    checkpoint58n_post
213    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
214       local variable (not in common block).
215    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
216      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
217      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
218        to work with SingleCpuIO.
219    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
220       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
221    o multi-threading and IO:
222      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
223        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
224      - barrier before and after reading.
225      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
226      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
227      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
228        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
229    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
230      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
231    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
232    
233    checkpoint58m_post
234    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
235       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
236    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
237       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
238       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
239    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
240        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
241    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
242    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
243    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
244    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
245      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
246    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
247    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
248      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
249      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
250    o calc_gw:
251     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
252     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
253       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
254    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
255    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
256      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
257      truncation level, 11 digits).
258    
259    checkpoint58l_post
260    o calc_gw:
261     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
262     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
263     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
264    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
265      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
266    o pkg/ecco:
267      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
268        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
269      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
270      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
271        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
272      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
273        including separate counting and multipliers
274    o pkg/rbcs
275      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
276    
277    checkpoint58k_post
278    o testreport:
279     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
280       & running in input)
281     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
282     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
283     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
284    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
285       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
286       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
287       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
288    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
289     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
290       end of the routine.
291    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
292      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
293    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
294    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
295    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
296    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
297      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
298    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
299       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
300    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
301    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
302    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
303       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
304    o tracer advection:
305     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
306     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
307       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
308    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
309    
310    checkpoint58j_post
311    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
312      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
313    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
314    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
315    o genmake2
316      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
317    
318    checkpoint58i_post
319    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
320      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
321    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
322      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
323    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
324      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
325    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
326    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
327    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
328      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
329        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
330      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
331    
332    checkpoint58h_post
333    * Modifications for bottom topography control
334      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
335      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
336      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
337      o update autodiff support routines
338      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
339      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
340    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
341    
342    checkpoint58g_post
343    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
344       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
345       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
346    o pkg/ggl90:
347      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
348      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
349    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
350      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
351      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
352      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
353      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
354        desired results either
355    o pkg/seaice
356      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
357    
358    checkpoint58f_post
359    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
360      to pkg/seaice):
361      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
362      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
363    o pkg/exf:
364      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
365      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
366      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
367      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
368        exf_radiation, exf_wind
369      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
370        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
371      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
372        either wind from stress or stress from wind
373    o pkg/thSIce:
374    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
375    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
376       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
377    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
378    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
379      to make debugging easier.
380    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
381    o pkg/bulk_force:
382      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
383      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
384    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
385      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
386    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
387      testreport accordingly
388    
389    checkpoint58e_post
390    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
391    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
392      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
393      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
394    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
395      to be able to use it in pure forward.
396    
397    checkpoint58d_post
398    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
399     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
400      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
401      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
402      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
403      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
404      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
405      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
406      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
407      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
408      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
409     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
410    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
411    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
412      with larger stencil
413    o thsice adjoint: start
414    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
415      completeness
416    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
417      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
418    o ptracers adjoint:
419      * avoid extensive recomputatations
420      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
421    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
422      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
423    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
424      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
425    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
426      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
427    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
428    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
429      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
430    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
431    o new package prifiles:
432      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
433      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
434    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
435      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
436    
437    checkpoint58c_post
438    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
439      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
440    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
441      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
442      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
443      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
444    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
445      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
446    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
447    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
448      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
449      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
450    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
451      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
452    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
453      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
454    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
455    o seaice:
456      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
457      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
458        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
459      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
460      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
461        C-grid solver
462      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
463      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
464        are now exclusive)
465      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
466        required re-ordering the code a little:
467       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
468       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
469         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
470    
471    checkpoint58b_post
472    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
473      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
474    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
475      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
476      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
477      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
478    o adjoint:
479      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
480      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
481    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
482     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
483      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
484     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
485    o ecco
486      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
487    o adjoint
488      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
489      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
490      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
491        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
492    o seaice:
493     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
494       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
495         and ostres
496       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
497         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
498         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
499     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
500     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
501       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
502       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
503       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
504    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
505      include it only where its needed
506    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
507    o seaice:
508      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
509      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
510      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
511    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
512      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
513    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
514    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
515      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
516    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
517      (since checkpoint57x_post)
518    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
519    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
520      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
521    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
522      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
523      pkg/generic_advdiff
524    o seaice:
525      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
526        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
527        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
528      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
529      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
530      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
531        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
532      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
533      
534    checkpoint58a_post
535    o seaice:
536      - bug fix in advect.F
537    o shelfice:
538      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
539        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
540        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
541        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
542        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
543        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
544        deep-reaching shelfice.
545      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
546      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
547        now the default
548      - give a few constants more intuitive names
549    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
550      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
551      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
552      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
553      STDOUT.
554    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
555    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
556      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
557     - works
558     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
559              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
560                instead of new field kTopC
561              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
562                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
563                and ini_mask_etc.F?
564              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
565    o seaice pkg:
566     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
567       freezing point of sea water at the surface
568     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
569       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
570    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
571       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
572       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
573    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
574       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
575       (might add other options later)
576    o pkg/bulk_force:
577     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
578     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
579       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
580       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
581     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
582     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
583     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
584       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
585     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
586    
587    checkpoint58
588    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
589      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
590      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
591      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
592      - requested by CNH but off by default
593      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
594      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
595    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
596      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
597      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
598      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
599    
600    checkpoint57z_post
601    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
602      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
603    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
604    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
605    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
606      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
607    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
608    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
609         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
610    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
611         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
612      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
613      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
614          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
615          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
616      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
617          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
618          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
619      * 3 cases:
620          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
621          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
622          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
623    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
624      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
625      * enable at compile-time via
626        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
627      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
628      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
629      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
630    
631    checkpoint57y_post
632    First step for a NLFS adjoint
633    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
634    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
635    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
636    o testreport seemed happy
637    checkpoint57y_pre
638    
639    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
640    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
641    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
642    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
643    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
644      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
645    
646    checkpoint57x_post
647    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
648    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
649      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
650      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
651    o Non-Hydrostatic:
652     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
653     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
654    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
655     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
656     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
657       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
658     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
659    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
660    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
661    o adjoint
662      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
663        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
664      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
665    
666    checkpoint57w_post
667    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
668                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
669       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
670    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
671      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
672    o tracer advection scheme:
673      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
674       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
675       was not very convenient).
676      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
677       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
678    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
679      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
680      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
681      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
682    
683    checkpoint57v_post
684    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
685    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
686      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
687      identical results for a few days of testing
688    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
689      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
690      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
691      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
692       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
693    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
694      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
695      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
696    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
697      and for passive tracers
698    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
699      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
700      file).
701    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
702      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
703    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
704      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
705       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
706      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
707    
708    checkpoint57u_post
709    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
710      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
711        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
712        are treated
713      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
714        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
715      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
716        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
717        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
718        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
719        with EXF)
720    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
721    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
722      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
723    
724    checkpoint57t_post
725    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
726    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
727      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
728      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
729    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
730      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
731    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
732      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
733    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
734    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
735    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
736      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
737    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
738      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
739      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
740    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
741      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
742      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
743      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
744      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
745      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
746    
747    checkpoint57s_post
748    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
749      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
750      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
751      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
752      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
753      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
754      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
755      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
756    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
757    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
758      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
759      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
760      they did before.
761    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
762      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
763    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
764    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
765    o various changes to mnc including:
766      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
767      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
768          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
769      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
770          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
771      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
772    
773    checkpoint57r_post
774    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
775    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
776    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
777    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
778    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
779      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
780    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
781      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
782    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
783    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
784    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
785    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
786    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
787      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
788      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
789      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
790    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
791      (see README file)
792    
793    checkpoint57q_post
794    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
795    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
796      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
797    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
798      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
799    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
800      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
801      to be able to limit tapelev size
802    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
803      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
804      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
805      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
806    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
807      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
808      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
809    
810    checkpoint57p_post
811    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
812    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
813      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
814    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
815    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
816      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
817       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
818      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
819     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
820      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
821      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
822      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
823    
824    checkpoint57o_post
825    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
826      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
827    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
828      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
829    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
830      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
831      (worth another tag)
832    
833    checkpoint57n_post
834    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
835    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33

838      for atmos. state.
839    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
840    o in natl_box_adjoint:
841      * updated exp 1 to 10
842        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
843    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
844      to incorporate latest changes
845    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
846      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
847    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
848    
849    checkpoint57m_post
850    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
851      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
852    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
853      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
854    
855    checkpoint57l_post
856     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
857    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
858       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
859    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
860       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
861    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
862          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
863    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
864    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
865      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
866    
867    checkpoint57k_post
868    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
869      new EXF diagnostics output.
870    
871    checkpoint57j_post
872    o exf
873      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
874        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
875        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
876      * extended diagnostics output
877        - now includes all EXF variables
878        - hs, hl moved to common block
879        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
880        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
881        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
882      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
883      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
884        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
885    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
886    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
887      several times with different frequencies.
888    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
889      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
890      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
891    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
892      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
893    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
894    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme

898    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
899     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
900    
901    checkpoint57i_post
902    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
903      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
904    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
905      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
906    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
907    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
908      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
909    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
910    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
911    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
912      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
913    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
914      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
915    o pkg/diagnostics:
916      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
917      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
918    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
919    
920    checkpoint57h_done
921      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
922      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
923    
924    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
925      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
926    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
927      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
928    
929    checkpoint57h_post
930    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
931    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
932      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
933    checkpoint57h_pre
934    
935    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
936      and mnc_outdir_num are false
937    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
938      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
939    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
940      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
941    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
942    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
943    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
944    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
945      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
946    
947    checkpoint57g_post
948    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
949      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
950      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
951    checkpoint57g_pre
952    
953    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
954      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
955    o added new control variables
956      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
957      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
958    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
959      (suggested by G. Forget)
960    
961    checkpoint57f_post
962    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
963      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
964      account for baseTime shift
965    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
966    checkpoint57f_pre
967    
968    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
969    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
970      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
971    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
972    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
973      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
974      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
975      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
976    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
977      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
978    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
979    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
980      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
981        new version is now more standards-compliant
982    o adjoint-related modifications
983      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
984      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
985      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
986    
987    checkpoint57e_post
988    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
989    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
990    
991    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
992      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
993    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
994    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
995    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
996      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
997      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
998      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
999    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
1000      - off by default for backwards compatibility
1001      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
1002    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
1003    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
1004    
1005    checkpoint57d_post
1006    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
1007    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
1008      output from the diagnostics package
1009    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
1010    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
1011      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
1012    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
1013    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
1014    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
1015      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
1016    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
1017    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
1018    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
1019      at the end).
1020    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
1021      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
1022    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
1023    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
1024      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
1025      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
1026    
1027    checkpoint57c_post
1028    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
1029    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
1030    checkpoint57c_pre
1031    
1032    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
1033      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
1034    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
1035      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
1036    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
1037    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
1038    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
1039    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
1040      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
1041      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
1042      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
1043        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
1044        *all* data points are output
1045    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
1046    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
1047    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
1048    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
1049    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
1050      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
1051      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
1052      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
1053    o pkg/ctrl/
1054      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
1055        May be enabled via doPackDiag
1056      *  introduce z-scaling of
1057         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
1058         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
1059    o pkg/mdsio/
1060      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
1061      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
1062    
1063    checkpoint57b_post
1064    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
1065    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
1066      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
1067      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
1068    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
1069    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
1070      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
1071     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
1072    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
1073      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
1074            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
1075    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
1076      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
1077    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
1078      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
1079        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
1080    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
1081    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
1082    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
1083      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
1084      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
1085    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
1086    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
1087      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
1088      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
1089      - restore use of make (not gmake)
1090      - add CC=gcc if using g77
1091    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
1092      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
1093        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
1094        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
1095        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
1096      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
1097        changed)
1098      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
1099    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
1100      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
1101      preprocessors
1102    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
1103     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
1104     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
1105     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
1106       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
1107       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
1108    
1109    checkpoint57a_post
1110    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
1111      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
1112      (what a pain)
1113    
1114    checkpoint57a_pre
1115    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
1116    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
1117    
1118    checkpoint57
1119    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
1120      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
1121      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
1122      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
1123    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
1124    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
1125    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
1126      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
1127    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
1128      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
1129    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
1130      and include in natl_box_adjoint
1131    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
1132      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
1133    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
1134      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
1135    
1136    checkpoint56c_post
1137    o OBCS as control variables
1138      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
1139      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
1140      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
1141      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
1142      - add dummy weights for obcs
1143    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
1144    o optim:
1145      - remove unnecessary header files
1146      - adjusted namelists
1147      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
1148    o exf:
1149      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
1150      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
1151    o mdsio:
1152      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
1153    
1154    checkpoint56b_post
1155    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
1156      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
1157      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
1158      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
1159      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
1160    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
1161      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
1162      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
1163    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
1164      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
1165      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
1166      testreport.
1167    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
1168    
1169    checkpoint56a_post
1170    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
1171      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
1172        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
1173        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
1174        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
1175      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
1176      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
1177      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
1178        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
1179    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
1180    o PTRACERS:
1181      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
1182        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
1183        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
1184      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
1185        monitorFreq
1186      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
1187    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
1188    o exf_check_range:
1189      * default changed to .TRUE.
1190      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
1191      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
1192      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
1193      TBD: a version with stricter range
1194           permitted range would be runtime parameters
1195    o GMredi:
1196      - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
1197      - change S/R GRAD_SIGMA to be valid in the overlap on CS-grid.
1198      - change the default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h: compile everything except Visbeck
1199    o GCHEM:
1200      - move call to GCHEM_FORCING_SEP, so that it is now called before
1201        the blocking exchanges to avoid computing halos in GCHEM_FORCING_SEP
1202      - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
1203      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
1204        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
1205      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
1206        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
1207        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
1208        of ptracers_forcing
1209      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
1210        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
1211      - cleaning up
1212    o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src
1213    
1214    checkpoint56
1215    o AIM: read land-Fraction earlier (from ini-fixed) and monitor land at nIter0
1216    o mnc: cleanup "full" files--fixes out-of-memory problem
1217    o ECCO-GODAE
1218      * model/, pkg/, code/, input/ now complete w.r.t. ECCO-GODAE production setup
1219      * fully merged and updated from SIO code
1220        windstress sign change affects
1221        - exf_inscal_[u/v]stress
1222        - sign of xx_tau[u/v] adjustments
1223        - signs in cost_scat
1224      * ctrl_get_gen: avoid update of tau[u/v] for first few days
1225      * natl_box_adjoint updated and compressed
1226      * 2-level checkpoint switch added
1227        (tested in EXP. 1 of natl_box_adjoint)
1228      * new switch doInitXX to avoid init. of xx_... in optimcycle=0
1229    o SVD
1230      * first complete, non-hacked version for SVD calculations
1231      * all interfaces clean w.r.t to handling of xx_..., adxx_..., g_xx_...
1232        performed via direct access files admtlm_vector.it????
1233        (via ctrl_[un]pack)
1234      * optimcycle is used for ARPACK iteration counter
1235        (note: adxx_... is iterated, rather than xx_...; latter is constant!)
1236      * EV problem ok w.r.t. L2-norm in tangent space; need to check other norms
1237        and add linear transforms where necessary
1238      * controls are initial/final SST, SSS (can be extended; need to check
1239        ctrl_set_[un]pack_xyz.F according to ctrl_set_[un]pack_xy.F
1240    o mdsio: filename info to both stderr, stdout
1241    o exf: exf_inscal_runoff: separated default conversion [m/year] -> [m/sec]
1242      from sign change
1243    
1244    checkpoint55j_post
1245    o isolate dissipation tendency (allow to keep it out off AB) in V.I form.
1246      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
1247    o add consistent build directories and .cvsignore files to verification
1248    o added viscA4GridMin and viscA4GridMax for more control on biharmonic viscosity
1249    o make all subroutines 30 or less characters in length for certain older
1250      compilers to work (a thorough search only turns up two routines in
1251      pkg/ptracers)
1252    o allow (vecinv only) a different horiz. viscosity for Divergence and Vorticity;
1253      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
1254    
1255    checkpoint55i_post
1256    o change arrays for total vertical diffusivity (2.D if explicit,
1257      3.D if implicit) ; each ptracer uses its own background value.
1258    o added mnc/NetCDF output capability to ocn_compon_interf
1259      - added bits to verification/cpl_aim+ocn so that it can run on
1260        ITRDA and other clusters without the mpirun "-wd" option
1261    o fixed wayward endif in mom_fluxform.F that messed up cyclindrical
1262      configuration
1263    o give MNC the ability to create additional files rather than
1264      exceeding a specified file size limit "MNC_MAX_FILESIZE"
1265      - the default is just less than 2GB which is a practical limit
1266        on many systems
1267    o Compute the non-local term using either KPP vertical diffusivity (=default)
1268       or the total vertical diffusivity (when KPP_ghatUseTotalDiffus=T)
1269    
1270    checkpoint55h_post
1271    o add verification test "vermix"
1272    o remove all the *_ioinc flags and replace with the single global
1273      outputTypesInclusive flag
1274    o allow to set a vertical profile of vertical diffusivity for T & S
1275    o call PACKAGE_BOOT & PACKAGES_READPARMS just after INI_PARMS
1276    o useMNC moved from data.mnc to data.pkg
1277    
1278    checkpoint55g_post
1279    o Renaming carbon AD experiments to comply with testreport conventions
1280    o Updating adjoint of Held-Suarez hs94.1x64x5
1281    o Fixing directives for non-ECCO forward_step, after ECCO directives
1282      have been fixed to avoid recomp. of do_oceanic_phys
1283      Works well for global_ocean.90x40x15,
1284      but recomp. issue remains for carbon
1285    o Updating adjoint output for natl_box_adjoint after
1286      pkg/ecco has been modified (see taga c55d_post)
1287    
1288    checkpoint55f_post
1289    o rename to timeave_init_fixed
1290    
1291    checkpoint55e_post
1292    o some delicate re-shuffle of store directives to avoid one
1293      extra call of do_oceanic_physics
1294      affects ecco_the_main_loop.F, do_oceanic_physics.F
1295      checkpoint_lev1_directives.h
1296    o NB: this may break global_ocean adjoint temporarily,
1297      but it is clear how to fix it. Will do later, need this now.
1298    
1299    checkpoint55d_post
1300    o ECCO specific cost function terms (up-to-date with 1x1 runs)
1301    o ecco_cost_weights is modified to 1x1 runs
1302    o modifs to allow observations to be read in as
1303      single file or yearly files
1304    o enable to read exf forcing fields as either
1305      single file or yearly files (flag useExfYearlyFields)
1306    checkpoint55d_pre
1307    
1308    o switch between 2-level and 3-level checkpointing
1309    o add ability of MNC to write local and "partial" (eg. 2D slices where
1310      the full 3D field is never actually stored) arrays to NetCDF files
1311      with the correct (that is, the complete multi-dimensional) set of
1312      array indicies
1313      - used in mom_vecinv() to write the diagFreq output
1314      - tested (demonstrated) in verification/aim.5l_cs
1315    o further mnc-ification
1316      - add verification/lab_sea to the list with mnc setups
1317      - fix undefined mnc v-names in cd_code
1318      - add kpp to mnc output (both snapshot and timeave)
1319    o non-hydrostatic code
1320      - added horizontal viscosity parameter viscAhW for w, that replaces viscAh
1321        in calc_gw.F
1322      - defaults to viscAh
1323      - this is useful, when I want to use viscAh=0 (e.g., only biharmonic
1324        friction or Leith) in non-hydrostatic mode, as long as there is
1325        no biharmonic friction and/or Leigth or equivalent for vertical velocity.
1326    o pkg/cost
1327      extend simple cost functions to treat time mean quantities
1328      (T,U,V) via cost_accumulate_state from cost_tile
1329    o multidimAdvection on CS-grid: implement the full 3 pass ; overlap needs to
1330        be 2 times larger than the minimum size the advection scheme requires.
1331        now get a perfect conservation of salt in advect_cs test-exp (updated)
1332    o GGL90 (Gaspar's TKE mixed layer)
1333      - add horizontal diffusion of TKE, requires exchanges in
1334        do_fields_blocking_exchanges, horizontal diffusivity is zero by
1335        default. In OPA there is no horizontal diffusion of TKE but the
1336        mixing coefficients are computed from a horizontal average of TKE of
1337        6 points or so. I think that diffusion has a little more physical
1338        justification.
1339      - clean up ggl90_calc in the hope of reducing memory usage (this hope
1340        was in vain)
1341      - mask tke-variable in ggl90_init
1342    o fix mask Pb in multidimAdvection on CS-grid (still a small Pb with ipass)
1343    o fix biharmonic diffusion on CS-grid.
1344    o more obcs stuff
1345      - added obcs_external_fields_load as an alternative to the EXF-pkg option
1346        for reading boundary values. This routine is called from
1347        obcs_prescribe_read
1348      - updated obcs_check
1349      - changed sponge layer relaxation parameter units for days to seconds
1350      - turned off sponge layer by default
1351      - changed argument list of OBCS_CALC to myTime+deltaTclock
1352      - fixed about 35 bugs in obcs_external_fields_load
1353    
1354    checkpoint55c_post
1355    o obcs stuff
1356      - new runtime flags useOBCSprescribe, useOBCSbalance
1357      - re-arranged obcs_calc
1358      - moved exf_getobcs to obcs_prescibe_read
1359        obcs_prescibe_read is called after ORLANSKI stuff
1360        and independent of it (executable can contain all).
1361      - updated obcs_check
1362      - added exchanges for U,V,gU,gV for useOBCSprescribe=.TRUE.
1363        These may be necessary only if tangential velocities are
1364        prescribed at OB, not sure, needs testing.
1365    o make the MNC_CW_ADD_VATTR_* subroutines all take scalar arguments
1366      which simplifies the calls and passes the ifc check-bounds test
1367    
1368    checkpoint55b_post
1369    o add a 2D scalar, Z location, exchange_2 routine.
1370    o EXCH_UV for CS-grid: add one u,v in the corner-halo region, allows
1371      to compute vorticity on a wider stencil [e.g., vort3(0,1)&(1,0)]
1372      affects advect_cs results (for the wrong reason): update output.txt
1373    o use a more standard discretization for biharmonic viscosity ;
1374     (original version still available with #define MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 )
1375      affects results of dome set-up: update output.txt
1376    o fix gad_advection.F (CubedSphere part), back to version 1.23
1377    o fix bug in mom_vi_del2uv.F (CubedSphere part).
1378    
1379    checkpoint55a_post
1380    o merged code to
1381      * prescribe/read time-dependent open boundaries
1382        (works in conjunction with exf, cal)
1383      * sponge layer code for open boundaries
1384      * each boundary N/S/E/W now has its own CPP option
1385        (healthy for the adjoint)
1386    
1387    checkpoint55
1388    o up-to-date adjoint of previous breaks
1389      - natl_box_adjoint: problem for exp 12, 13: cost = 0. needs fix
1390      - global_ocean_ebm: adjoint still needs fix (TLM ok)
1391      - global_ocean.90x40x15: extended GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
1392      - carbon: * remove tr1-related adjoint verification
1393                * add ptracer as control variable
1394    o remove all tr1-related code (ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER)
1395      (adjoint stuff still has some tr1 'names', but all use ptracer arrays)
1396    
1397    checkpoint54f_post
1398    o in verification/carbin/ remove experiment related to
1399      ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER (array tr1 etc)
1400      code_ad/ input_ad/ results_ad
1401    
1402    o add two new packages
1403      - ggl90, TKE-model of Gaspar et al. (1990), Blanke+Delecluse (1993)
1404        + subject to optimization (memory)
1405      - opps, OPPS (ocean penetrative plume scheme) of Paluszkiewicz+Romea (1997)
1406        + subject to reordering (many GOTOs in the original code)
1407        + so far opps is called for every (i,j) point, and then operates in
1408          the vertical; one may want to reorder the scheme in order operate in
1409          horizontal slabs at the cost of (a lot of) memory, at least ten new 3D
1410          fields)
1411    o overhaul of IO so that we now have flags for MDSIO and/or MNC
1412      - all verification tests compile and run with linux_ia32_g77
1413      - defaults are compatible with current input files--nothing
1414        should change if you were not previously using MNC
1415      - MNC output has been added in numerous places (eg. timeave)
1416        but there are still a few writes not yet do-able with MNC
1417        (this is in progress)
1418      - flags now allow for either/or/both use of MDSIO and MNC and
1419        documentation will soon follow
1420      - numerous small formatting cleanups for ProTeX
1421    o add version info (via BUILD_INFO.h) to MNC and stdout
1422    
1423    checkpoint54e_post
1424    o add two new packages
1425      - pp81 (Packanowski and Philander, 1981), Richardson number and
1426        stratification dependent mixing
1427      - my82 (Mellor and Yamada, 1982) level 2 turbulence closure scheme
1428      - these scheme operate in a similar manner as KPP (without ghat, of
1429        course), however there is only one diffusivity that is used for both
1430        temperature and salinity (and passive tracers)ç
1431    o add offline package
1432    o add "verification/dic_example" which contains a dic-gchem-ptracer setup
1433      provided by Stephanie Dutkiewicz
1434    o genmake2: add ability to search for C compilers and cleanup test output
1435      - fixes recent SX-6 problems and should help with others (eg. HP-UX)
1436    
1437    checkpoint54d_post
1438    o data.diagnostics: if levels() is unspecified then ALL levels are diagnosed
1439    o bug fix in pkg/cal/cal_addtime.F for TheCalendar='model' day count is wrong,
1440      leading to additional shift by 5 days each year of integration
1441       (i.e. leading to considerable offset over the years)
1442    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/thsice: use z* + RealFW + staggerTimeStep
1443    o start with no AB and no initial filtering (staggerTimeStep):
1444      change the results of test-exp: hs94.128x64x5, hs94.1x64x5 & hs94.cs-32x32x5
1445    o move ocean specific S/R calls from forward_step.F to do_oceanic_phys.F
1446      (external loading & cpl import/export stay in forward_step.F)
1447    o update coupling interface to work with new staggerTimeStep
1448    o change MDSIO ptracers_pickup.
1449    o fix a bug in Flux deriv. vs Ts (pkg/aim_v23/phy_suflux_sice.F);
1450    o genmake2 fixes so netcdf now works on halem ("osf1_alpha_*")
1451    o bugs fixed in kpp_calc.F (ustarY) and external_forcing.F (Qsw & Partial-cell)
1452    
1453    checkpoint54c_post
1454    o replace surfaceTendency U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr by surfaceForcing U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr
1455      this affects (truncation error) output.txt of test-exp:
1456       global_ocean_ebm,_pressure,.cs32x15(&.thsice), lab_sea & natl_box
1457    o pkg/kpp: replace pMask by maskC to reduce memory size (one 3.D array)
1458    o change Qnet to always be the net heat flux, (+upward).
1459      affects (truncation error) output of natl_box exp.: updated
1460    o define the max number of passive tracers in PTRACERS_SIZE.h
1461    o start to test mnc routinely in exp0
1462    o add sea-ice loading (sIceLoad) as a new forcing field.
1463    
1464    checkpoint54b_post
1465    o add testreport "-j JOBS" option for parallel builds (tested and pretty
1466       impressive on Altix and Opteron systems)
1467    o diagnostics can now write NetCDF files through the mnc package
1468    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: update pkg aim_v23 & thsice; update aim.5l_cs output
1469    o staggerTimeStep & multi-Dim-Advec: Exch(U,V) added
1470    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: rescale T & S surface tendencies.
1471      affects (truncation error) output of lab_sea & natl_box exp.: updated
1472    o change pickup _cd & _ptracers (old pickup restart: usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
1473    
1474    checkpoint54a_post
1475    o re-write staggerTimeStep: step fwd U,V and then T,S (reverse the order).
1476    o change pickup file (to restart from old pickup, set usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
1477    o get a perfect restart when using RealFreshWaterFlux + NLFS (not finished)
1478    o update output of all exp. that use staggerTimeStep (except hs94.cs & 2D)
1479      + internal_wave (shift in writing cg2d_ini_res)
1480    checkpoint54a_pre
1481    
1482    o require forcing_In_AB=.FALSE. and remove surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice
1483      - modified verification/lab_sea and natl_box_adjoint accordingly
1484    
1485    checkpoint54
1486    checkpoint53g_post
1487    o prepare splitting of thermodynamics: store convect.counter in common block
1488    o store d.etaH/dt (instead of Div.hV) in common ; affects (truncation error)
1489      output of: global_ocean.cs32x15, global_ocean_pressure & internal_wave
1490    o cnh's modifs to gad_advection.F for cube-sphere multi-dim advection
1491    o new parameter "nShapS": allow to treat differently S from T (nShapT)
1492    o separate Vert.Advec.Scheme from horizontal Advec.Scheme (T & S)
1493    o restore adjointability
1494    
1495    checkpoint53f_post
1496    o modifications that affect AIM experiment results (update output.txt):
1497      - no advection of S at top interface Nr (pkg/generic_advdiff)
1498      - air surf. temp: use lower value between T0 & T1 (phy_suflux_prep.F)
1499    o AIM pkg:
1500      - include stability function into surf.Flux derivative relative to Tsurf
1501      - calculate clear-sky radiation & surface temp. change (for diagnostics)
1502    
1503    checkpoint53e_post
1504    o merged cylindrical coord configuration
1505    o added rotating_tank experiment
1506    checkpoint53e_pre
1507    
1508    checkpoint53d_post
1509    o faulks upgraded: re-generate output.txt that have changed:
1510       global_ocean.cs32x15(.thsice), global_ocean_ebm, lab_sea, natl_box
1511    o Added Bryan and Lewis, 1979, vertical diffusivity profile
1512    o pkg/land: fix problem in land_impl_temp.F when Ts arround freezing.
1513    o added Sadourny discretization of Coriolis
1514      - moved some PARAMETERS from mom_*_coriolis.F to PARAMS.h
1515      - re-enabled use of omega3 (useAbsVorticity)
1516    o added Leith (Phys. Fluids, 1968, 10, 1409-1416) variable viscosity for
1517      vector-invariant equations
1518      - note: does *NOT* yet use same variable visc. for no-slip BC's.
1519    o recoded the lateral boundary conditions for non-hydrostatic w, this time
1520      hopefully without new bugs
1521      - still to do: biharmonic friction for non-hydrostatic w
1522    o bug fix for mom_*_sidedrag: rA -> rAs,rAw
1523    o regenerated output for global_ocean_ebm (using -ieee)
1524    o fix mom_common/mom_*_sidedrag.F to recover numeric output prior to creation
1525      of mom_common/
1526      - simple re-arrangement of instructions within computing loop
1527    checkpoint53d_pre
1528    
1529    checkpoint53c_post
1530    o new version of coupler for AIM+thSIce and Ocean models
1531     - new fields (SSS,h_MixLayer ...) are exchanged through the coupler
1532     - land: change Evaporation of snow
1533     - aim with thSIce: fix bug in snow-precip.
1534    o changes to calc_gw.F
1535     - bug fix for w^2 term near the bottom boundary
1536     - (hopefully) improve the lateral slip boundary condtions for use with
1537        partial/looped cells
1538      - because the bug fix changes two verification experiments anyway (exp5
1539        and plume on slope), change the lateral boundary condition from half slip
1540        to the value of no_slip_sides
1541    o ebm package wasnt quite up to the parallel task. Fixed that.
1542    o Adjoint of EBM package + verification
1543      * TLM OK
1544      * ADM not sufficient accuracy yet (needs further testing)
1545    
1546    checkpoint53b_post
1547    o Commiting new energy balance model to repository
1548      * package is pkg/ebm
1549      * verif. is verification/global_ocean_ebm
1550      * references are in ebm_driver.F
1551    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
1552    C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part I:
1553    C        Sensitivity to atmospheric moisture transport.
1554    C        J. Climate 12(1), 71-82
1555    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
1556    C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part II:
1557    C        Sensitivity with interactive transport.
1558    C        J. Climate 12(1), 83-91
1559    C      * M. Nakamura, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1994:
1560    C        Destabilization of the thermohaline circulation
1561    C        by atmospheric eddy transports.
1562    C        J. Climate 7(12), 1870-1882
1563    o Will need long integration testing.
1564    checkpoint53b_pre
1565    
1566    o created pkg/mom_common in preparation for variable viscosity code
1567    o renamed and split ini_mnc_io
1568    o pkg/land: only liquid water can diffuse or run-off
1569    o AIM using land: soil wetness availability account for snow
1570    o added printMapIncludesZeros to EEPARMS namelist
1571    
1572    checkpoint53a_post
1573    o restore TAMC compatiility for exf_constants.h
1574      (no usage of _d in .h)
1575    o Additional storing in KPP in an attempt to fix
1576      TAMC problem with adjoint of KPP code.
1577      (no success...)
1578      Identical code works fine with TAF.
1579    o Fixed verification/natl_box_adjoint experiments.
1580      Initial conditions for Experiments 4 and 5 are now
1581      set to "SEAICE_initialHEFF=0", which is more reasonable,
1582      and hence gives results closer to that of Experiment 2.
1583      Experiment 6 requires "SEAICE_initialHEFF=1" and is working once again.
1584    
1585    checkpoint53
1586    o stable checkpoint with up to date adjoint
1587      TLM tests only run for 1st grdchk at the moment. Its unclear if
1588      this is a code problem or a problem with resetting code for g_
1589      variables that is being autogenerated wrong.
1590      Otherwise:
1591       o code is testing well on Linux (P4 and AMD), SGI Alitix and Irix.
1592       o IBM and HPQ tests could not be run because NCAR (IBM) and NCCS (HPQ)
1593         are both still in chaos following their security messes.
1594    
1595    checkpoint52n_post
1596    o various build (mostly genmake2) changes including:
1597      - ability to build/run more easily within Cygwin and MacOS X
1598      - more complicated Makefiles with a stronger dependence on Gnu Make
1599    o pkg/seaice modifications
1600      - added SEAICE_deltaTtherm and SEAICE_deltaTdyn in order to reduce cost
1601        of pkg/seaice.  For time being, SEAICE_deltaTtherm = deltaTtracer
1602        and SEAICE_deltaTdyn must be integer multiple of SEAICE_deltaTtherm
1603      - changed proxy for geostrophic velocity and updated
1604        verification/lab_sea/results/* accordingly
1605      - removed ADI dynamic solver from pkg/seaice
1606      - replaced all occurrences of 1/CSTICE or 1/CSUICE
1607        they caused a segmentation fault under certain circumstances
1608      - removed unused field WATR
1609    o bug fix in exf-package:
1610      -  u/vwind are defined at tracer/pressure points. The values of u/vwindmask
1611         now reflect that.
1612    o small fixes in the cal-package:
1613      - set reference date to first of January for the 'model'-calendar
1614      - failing of cal_CheckDate in cal_FullDate now actually results in a
1615        warning
1616    o small modifications in exf-package to increase flexibility:
1617      - change climtempfreeze from a constant to a runtime parameter that
1618        is specified in data.exf_clim (default = -1.9)
1619      - introduce runtime parameter windstressmax (default = 2.0) that is
1620        specified in data.exf
1621    o fix in pkg/thsice:
1622      - update Evap (Tsf changes) to be consistent with Latent heat flux
1623      - maintain snow precipitation unchanged (even if Tsf >=0).
1624     both affect global_ocean.cs32x15/(.thsice) results ; update output.txt.thsice
1625    
1626    checkpoint52m_post
1627    o commented out call to cal_GetMonthsRec in swfrac.F and added some comments;
1628      this does not change any of the results, because myIter=0 in swfrac always
1629      lead to jwtype=2 (the default anyway), but the call makes little sense
1630      as a default
1631    o no SHORTWAVE HEATING lost at the bottom; affects lab_sea output; updated
1632    o re-work pkg/thsice interface with ocean & bulk_force pkg to allow
1633      atmospheric model (AIM) to use it ; add a "slab ocean" component.
1634    o pkg/aim_v23 : add interface to call thermodynamic sea-ice (thsice)
1635    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/output (.thsice) after changes in pkg/thsice
1636    o extending useSingleCpuIO option to work with new exch2 I/O format
1637      - old-style, missing-tile I/O is still accessible by defining CPP
1638        option MISSING_TILE_IO in pkg/mdsio/MDSIO_OPTIONS.h
1639    o monitor package can write to NetCDF files and/or STDOUT
1640    o fix re-definition bug in MNC_GRID_INIT_ALL()
1641    o doc/api_reference added
1642      - a framework for building an API Reference Manual using all
1643        the "protex" comments embedded in the code
1644      - see pkg/generic_advdiff, pkg/mnc for examples
1645    o MNC:
1646      - make myThid the last argument for all subroutines
1647      - new default for the grid files: NO halos
1648      - add useMNC and other run-time flags
1649      - separate per-file-group handling of the unlimited dimension
1650      - early initialization of MNC w/ flags read at the eeboot stage
1651        and lookup tables set in initialize_fixed
1652      - write all MNC output to a freshly-created directory
1653    o thermodynamics sea-ice (thsice) is now tested with testreport.
1654    o test exp. advect_cs: use the standard cs32 grid ; update output.
1655    o Added functionality to grdchk:
1656      pick global i,j,k position (or nearest wet) where to perform check.
1657    
1658    checkpoint52l_post
1659    o new land formulation:
1660      a) use ground enthalpy as prognostic variable to ensure exact
1661         energy conservation.
1662      b) account for water temperature and for latent heat of freezing
1663         in all processes (rain, run-off, ground storage)
1664      c) compute surface and ground temperature implicitly.
1665    o aim_v23 modification for new land model:
1666      a) Treat separately land / ocean / sea-ice surface fluxes
1667         to allow implicit computation of land & sea-ice surface temp.
1668      b) add snow precipitation.
1669    checkpoint52l_pre
1670    
1671    o fix problem (when 1 tile is empty) in min/max monitor.
1672    o fix bug in timeAve (u,vZetatave in common block)
1673    o no restoring terms under ice for pkg/seaice
1674    o moved SEAICE_DO_DIAGS to S/R do_the_model_io
1675    o bug fix for pkg/seaice pickups
1676    o change MNC call locations and add coordinate attributes
1677    o mask vorticity at the corner ; affects global_ocean.cs output
1678    o fix ini_curvilinear_grid ; test CS experiments with mpi
1679    o aim.5l_cs: modify sea-ice fraction input file ; update output
1680    o exf: Adding simple range check routine for exf fields after read
1681    
1682    checkpoint52k_post
1683    o removed top-level directory "diags"
1684      - we migrated these functions to pkg/timeave a long time ago
1685    o fixed bug introduced in pkg/monitor
1686    o accuracy ctrlprec = 32 insuffient for gradient checks using
1687      averaged fields (I/O via cost_averages)
1688      -> use ctrl.h in active_file*.F to control I/O precision.
1689    o paramter list of CALL ADTHE_MAIN_LOOP
1690    o added initial do_the_model_io to ecco
1691    o set all ...Freq to zero after cost_final
1692      taveFreq, dumpFreq, pChkptFreq
1693    o MAIN and ECCO differentiability restored
1694    
1695    checkpoint52j_post
1696    o fix nchklev in tamc.h for global_ocean...
1697    o Bringing flow and store directives up-to-date
1698    o Really weird thing!
1699      call do_the_model_io from the_main_loop with parameters
1700      starttime, niter0, instead of mytime, myiter, screws up the adjoint:
1701      TAF places a faulty re-call of initialise_varia
1702      after cost_final call which should not be there!
1703    checkpoint52j_pre
1704    
1705    o tweaked pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F to have more useful logic and
1706      error messages
1707    o fix errorMessageUnit problem. remove old version of mdsio from eesup/src
1708    o modified pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F -- commented out diskspace-eating
1709      debug output
1710    o modfied mdsio_writefield.F to handle non-global files under exch2
1711    o update AIM Cubed-Sphere exp (aim.5l_cs):
1712      use land, p*, and Franco.M forcing fields with fractional land-sea mask.
1713    o update AIM Equatorial Channel exp:
1714      use standard aim_v23 pkg and change the SST fields to be more realistic.
1715    o globalFile now works with exch2
1716    o merged mom_vi_calc_relvort3.F, mom_vi_del2uv.F and
1717      mon_vort3.F to make exch2 friendly with >1 tile per cube face
1718    o limit timeave output for hi-res integrations
1719    
1720    checkpoint52i_post
1721    o removed CPP_EEOPTIONS.h from verification/*/code
1722    o updated the tiling for global_ocean_pressure
1723    checkpoint52i_pre
1724    
1725    o update aim.5l_LatLon using the standard aim_v23 pkg (instead of
1726      the old pkg/aim).
1727    
1728    checkpoint52h_pre
1729    o shortened offending lines in exch2_send_rx?.template
1730    o modified W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h to reflect current topology generator
1731    o genmake2: add build & execute test for NetCDF code
1732    o modded aim.5l_cs and global_ocean.cs32x15 to use exch2, removed
1733      old grid files, moved CPP_EEMACROS.h to pkg/exch2
1734    o added useSingleCPUIO flag to monitor.F and mon_out.F
1735    o added temporary hack for sea-ice dynamics on the cube:
1736      metric terms are ignored and it is assumed that
1737      there is no sea-ice on cube faces 1, 2, 4, and 5.
1738    
1739    checkpoint52f_post
1740    o added exch2 cube routines to pkg/exch2
1741    o modified hs94.cs-32x32x5 to use it
1742    o added new grid files to hs94.cs-32x32x5
1743    checkpoint52f_pre
1744    
1745    checkpoint52e_post
1746    o first attempt to solve vertical advection (momemtum & T,S) Implicitly
1747      for now, only implemented with Lax-Wendroff (tracer) and VectInv (mom)
1748    o step.1 : rewrite (as in MultiDimAdvec) explicit tracer stepping (gad_calc_rhs.F)
1749      to work with implicit vertical advection and AB ;
1750    o Implic. vert. advect. implemented with flux-limiter, c2, u3 and c4 scheme.
1751    o update output (gad_calc_rhs.F changes affect truncation error) of exp:
1752     front_relax, global_ocean .cs32x15 & _pressure, internal_wave, lab_sea, natl_box
1753    checkpoint52e_pre
1754    
1755    o fix bug in impldiff when Nr=1 or Nr=2.
1756    o change the albedo in pkg/thsice (as GISS model); update output_thsice.txt
1757    o little changes (fftpack, aim/phy_suflux ...) to pass the "checkbounds" test.
1758    o fix deltaTfreesurf in update_cg2d.F (left from c45d_post): affects 2
1759      ocean exp. that use NLFS: global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_ocean_pressure
1760    o added exf_offset_atemp for Celsius to Kelvin conversion of atemp
1761    o eesupp/inc/EEPARAMS.h: MAX_NO_PROCS=1024
1762    o pkg/cal/cal_toseconds.F fix for long (>60 years) integrations
1763    
1764    checkpoint52d_post
1765    o re-tiled many expts to allow comparison in multi-processor mode
1766      - updated output accordingly
1767      - changed hs94.128x64x5 to use intial T from file rather than use the
1768        random number generator
1769    o add infrastructure in model routines for fizhi and gridalt packages
1770    o change global_ocean.cs32x15 because of Pb with GM on CS-grid.
1771    o changes to permit hi-res, cubed-sphere, configuration
1772      - added useSingleCpuIO capability to mdsio_readfield.F and exf_interp.F
1773      - added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/scatter_2d.F
1774      - added pkg/exf/exf_set_uv.F for on-the-fly interpolation and rotation
1775        of surface winds for the cube
1776      (A verification experiment, based on global_ocean.cs32x15, but with
1777       pkg/seaice turned on and with on-the-fly interpolation from the NCEP
1778       Gaussian grid is described in MITgcm_contrib/high_res_cube/README_ice,
1779       complete with example surface forcing files and matlab scripts to look
1780       at the output and compare it with that of global_ocean.cs32x15.)
1781    o packages pickup: $PKG_write_pickup called from packages_write_pickup ;
1782       but call to $PKG_read_pickup remains in $PKG_ini_vars: change CD_code
1783       to conform to the common rule.
1784    o check-in the first version of the coupler + interfaces for multi-components
1785       set-up (Chris's version, adapted to work on cubed-sphere grid); use MPI.
1786       - imply modification in eesupp (MPI_COMM_MODEL < MPI_COMM_WORLD).
1787       - atmosphere: use pkg aim_v23 ; no sea-ice for now.
1788       - ocean and atmos. share the same horizontal grid (no interpolation).
1789       - exchanges between component and coupler is done in forward_step
1790    o new verification experiment, cpl_aim+ocn:
1791       coupled ocean - AIM atmosphere on cs32 grid.
1792    
1793    checkpoint52d_pre
1794    o surface flux time-av diagnostic modified for NLFS & RealFreshWater
1795    o add call to AIM pendant S/R in external_forcing & external_fields_load.F
1796    
1797    checkpoint52c_post
1798    o Fixing OPTIONS files for use of exf:
1799      - ALLOW_ECCO not needed
1800      - ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h should not be included from
1801        EXF_OPTIONS.h/CAL_OPTIONS.h, but from CPP_OPTIONS.h
1802        as has been the case in the past
1803      - All cal/exf related options are currently set in
1804        single header file. Should remain so until we
1805        agree on a consistent new policy.
1806    o Removed all CPP options for cal package.
1807      cal has no more CPP options.
1808    o modified STOREs in GAD_ADVECTION
1809    o corrected key comp. for passkey
1810    
1811    checkpoint52b_post
1812    o new version: "thsice" of thermodynamic sea-ice pkg:
1813     - only 1 call from "forward_step"; conserve energy, fresh-water & salt.
1814     - modify fluxes but do not change theta directly;
1815     - light cleaning of bulk_force pkg (still needed with thsice).
1816     - add forcing fields + data files in global_ocean.cs32x15/inp_thsice
1817       + output_thsice.txt to test thsice & bulk_force pkgs.
1818    o put back grid & coriolis monitor output.
1819    checkpoint52b_pre
1820    
1821    o call "do_the_model_io" at the beginning (=> dump initial state)
1822    o use rhoConstFresh to define convertEmP2rUnit (was done only in ocean-P)
1823    o sort out interplay between tamc.h and PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h
1824      (need info on NUMBER_OF_PTRACERS)
1825    o missing PTRACERS headers in some routines
1826    o default tamc.h in pkg/autodiff supposed to crash
1827      to ensure proper customization
1828    
1829    checkpoint52a_post
1830    o modifications to make FREEZE (_SURFACE) flux visible to pkg/kpp
1831      - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code
1832      - subroutine FREEZE_SURFACE now limits only surface temperature
1833        and is called in FORWARD_STEP (if allowFreezing=.TRUE.)
1834        => new output.txt for global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_with_exf
1835      - keep the old version of FREEZE for backward compatibility;
1836        global_ocean.90x40x15 left unchanged using useOldFreezing=.TRUE.
1837      - corresponding modifs for TAF directives
1838    o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS
1839    o time-averaged output for pkg/ptracers
1840    o fix problem with ECCO-related divided adjoint
1841      snapshot file was missing some ad-variables,
1842      but no warning issued by TAF
1843    
1844    checkpoint52a_pre
1845    o some bug fixes for #undef REAL4_IS_SLOW
1846    
1847    checkpoint52 = ecco_c52_e35
1848    o after testing adjoints of checkpoint51u_post
1849    
1850    checkpoint51u_post
1851    o this is the post-merge tag of the ecco-branch
1852      (needs another clean checkout and re-testing)
1853    o various natl_box_adjoint configs and results
1854      but no input fields
1855    o obcs adjoint not yet merged!
1856    o adding ECCO global 1x1 and 2x2 degree configs
1857    o updated/extended some store directives for seaice
1858    o pkg/ecco now containes ecco-specific part of cost function
1859    o top level routines the_main_loop, forward_step
1860      supersede those in model/src/
1861      previous input data.cost now in data.ecco
1862      (new namelist ecco_cost_nml)
1863    o in ctrl/ cleaned some cross-dependencies and updated CPP options
1864    
1865    checkpoint51t_post
1866    o this is the pre-merge tag of the ecco-branch
1867    
1868    checkpoint51s_post
1869    o cleanup: removed various obsolete #define-s
1870    o pkg/grdchk
1871      - renamed 'ph-grd 3' to 'grad-res'
1872      - merged from ecco-branch
1873        (remaining bug fixes for obcs gradient checks)
1874      - additional high-precision output for testreport
1875        (grep for 'precision_grdchk_result')
1876    
1877    checkpoint51r_post
1878    o cleaned up or removed CPP_OPTIONS.h files
1879    o updated results for some of the tests to reflect the new
1880      optfiles (-ieee: -O0 instead of -O3)
1881    
1882    checkpoint51q_post
1883    o cd_code:
1884      - moved cd_scheme.F -> cd_code_scheme.F
1885      - separate read_checkpoint from cd_code_ini_vars.F
1886      - separated cd_code part from write_checkpoint
1887      - updated AD_SOURCE, generated .flow
1888      - added CD_CODE_VARS.h to the_main_loop
1889      - Moving cd_code specific store dir.s to pkg/cd_code
1890    o ctrl package totally restructured
1891      - pack/unpack now optional and decoupled from
1892        xx_/adxx_ I/O
1893      - ctrl_pack/unpack cleaned
1894        (new routines ctrl_init_ctrlvar.F, pkg/ctrl/ctrl_init_wet.F)
1895      - confined inclusion of AD_CONFIG.h to where necessary.
1896    o genmake2: changed AD dependencies from SRCFILES to AD_FILES
1897    
1898    checkpoint51p_post
1899    o create initial cd_code package
1900      - WARNING: the initialization of fields within packages
1901        is broken because INI_FIELDS (where READ_CHECKPOINT is
1902        called) is called *before* PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES.
1903        This seems to be backwards since
1904        1) its important to initially zero the entire field including
1905           the "halo" region
1906        2) zeroing needs to be done *before* reading pickup info
1907           and the pickup call might or might not happen in any
1908           particular run
1909      - this needs an overhaul for R2
1910    o cleanup verification/*/code/GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
1911    o cleanup testreport
1912    
1913    checkpoint51o_post
1914    o bringing AD-related verif's up to date with genmake2
1915      - carbon/
1916      - global_ocean.90x40x15/
1917      - hs.94.1x64x5/
1918      - (front_relax/ )
1919    o (more) consistent directory structure for AD-related verif.'s
1920    o cleaning ALLOW_GRADIENT_CHECK -> ALLOW_GRDCHK
1921    o cleaning some ALLOW_TANGENTLINEAR_RUN -> ALLOW_AUTODIFF
1922    o bug fix in find_alpha.F for MDJWF:
1923      - modif. to alpha = 1/D*( dN/dT - rho*dD/Dt) to account for
1924        change rho -> rho-rhoConst
1925      - replace call find_rho to find_rhonum
1926    o initialisation of rFlx extended to full array (required by TAF)
1927      and shifted to thermodynamics
1928    o removed PTRACERS.h in ptracers routine
1929    o added surfacetendencyPtr to S/R parameter list pracers_forcing
1930    o Correcting initialisations for fVerU, fVerV.
1931    o helping TAF to recognize dependency on kUp for
1932      fVerU, fVerV
1933    o Replacing delZ by delR in pkg/ctrl/
1934    checkpoint51o_pre
1935    
1936    o undid all of cp51 pending some cleanups and discussion
1937    o added the [#include "AD_CONFIG.h"] statement to all files that need
1938       it for adjoint/tl #defines
1939     o re-worked the build logic in genmake2 to support AD_CONFIG.h
1940     o removed tools/genmake since it no longer works
1941    
1942    checkpoint51n_post
1943    o modifications to make FREEZE flux visible to pkg/kpp
1944      - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code
1945      - FREEZE & EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF moved to FORWARD_STEP
1946      - subroutine FREEZE now limits only surface temperature
1947        (this means new output.txt for global_ocean.90x40x15,
1948         global_ocean.cs32x15, and global_with_exf)
1949    o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS
1950    
1951    checkpoint51n_pre
1952  o added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/gather_2d.F  o added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/gather_2d.F
1953  o added [#include "AD_CONFIG.h"] to all files that use the following  o added [#include "AD_CONFIG.h"] to all files that use the following
