5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o model/src:
8      - new parameters "top_Pres" & "seaLev_Z" (replacing Ro_SeaLevel and recently
9        added phi0Ref) to set vertical axis origin and phiRef origin;
10        keep Ro_SeaLevel for backward compatibility (with a warning).
11       According to coordinate and fluid type:
12        OCN in Z: top_Pres(Ref) (=rhoConst*PhiRef(1)), seaLev_Z (=rF(1), @ the top)
13        ATM in Z: top_Pres(Ref) (=rhoConst*PhiRef(1)), seaLev_Z (=rF(Nr+1) @ bottom)
14        OCN in P: top_Pres (=rF(Nr+1)), seaLev_Z (= PhiRef(Nr+1)/g, @ the top)
15        ATM in P: top_Pres (=rF(Nr+1)), seaLev_Z (= PhiRef(1)/g, @ the bottom)
16    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F
17      - simplify computation of deltaZ and zetaZ to simple averaging following
18        Bouillon et al. (2013). This removes a lot of code, but also changes
19        verification experiment lab_sea.hb87 -> updated
20    
21    checkpoint65u (2016/03/14)
22    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
23      - from Darren: add PPM and PQM advection schemes (number 40-42 and 50-52)
24        with 2 types of limiter (see: Engwirda & Kelley, submit. to JCP);
25        Note (from Darren): unlimited PPM/PQM scheme (40 & 50) are just for
26        testing and not for actual use.
27    o model/src:
28      - add parameter "phi0Ref" to specify reference [pressure/geo] potential at
29        origin r = rF(1);
30      - add options (parameter selectP_inEOS_Zc) to select which pressure to use
31        in EOS for height coordinate: enable to include NH Pressure or to use
32        more accurate pressure vertical profile; options not linked to EOS type
33        (as previously, e.g., JMD95P/JMD95Z) but set default according to EOS type;
34      - start to implement variable gravity (along vertical): for now, only with
35        z-coords (not even z*).
36      - add Ideal Gas equation of state for height coordinate.
37      - update OpenAD output (affected at machine truncation level) of exp:
38        global_ocean.90x40x15, OpenAD (std) and tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
39    o pkg/exf:
40      - add ALLOW_EXF_OUTPUT_INTERP cpp switch to output the result
41        of exf interpolation (before any rescaling, rotation or interpolation
42        to velocity point) for each field that gets loaded from file. This option
43        identically mimics the input file organization (e.g. record numbers in year
44        by year input files) besides the change in horizontal grid.
45      - add rotateStressOnAgrid run-time switch so that wind stress fields
46        can be provided on the A-grid in zonal/meridional direction and
47        rotated on the fly. This only applies to the case when the exf
48        interpolation is off and rotateStressOnAgrid is false by default.
49    o model/src:
50      - rename internal parameter "useDynP_inEos_Zc" to "storePhiHyd4Phys" (since
51        it's also used with pkg/atm_phys) and add few more parameters (but still
52        inactive, src code yet to come)
53    
54    checkpoint65t (2016/02/10)
55    o pkg/atm_phys:
56      - from Ruth Geen: add optical depth dependence on CO2 concentration.
57    o model/src:
58      - fix vertical inter/extra-polation of density factor rhoFacF (for anelastic)
59        for the case setCenterDr=T (delRc set from "data"); add output of rhoFacC&F.
60        Update output of exp. deep_anelastic (changes at truncation level).
61    o tools:
62      - add a hack in "remove_comments_sed" (used only with TAF) for recent
63        version of OpenMPI (shipped with FC.23): comment out the new header
64        file "mpif-sizeof.h" which causes problems to TAF.
65    o pkg/seaice:
66      - change the termination criterion so that maxits (SEAICElinearIterMax)
67        has an effect
68      - unify iteration parameters for implicit solvers (JFNK and Picard)
69        SEAICEnonLinIterMax replaces SEAICEnewtonIterMax/NPSEUDOTIMESTEPS
70        SEAICElinearIterMax replaces SEAICEkrylovIterMax/SOLV_MAX_ITER
71        SEAICEpreLinIterMax replaces SOLV_MAX_ITER in preconditioner
72        SEAICEpreNL_IterMax replaces NPSEUDOTIMESTEPS in preconditioner
73        SEAICEnonLinTol     replaces JFNKgamma_nonlin
74      - remove S/R SEAICE_FGMRES_DRIVER and put content into S/R SEAICE_JFKN
75      - add new Picard-Krylov solver, compile with SEAICE_ALLOW_KRYLOV and
76        use with SEAICEuseKrylov
77    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
78        fix small bug: replace zetaZ by zetaZloc in S/R seaice_lsr_rhsu/v; only
79        relevant if SEAICEuseStrImpCpl=T, and even then it does not seem to have
80        an effect.
81    o pkg/seaice: add two new parameters
82      - SEAICEuseLSR to simplify the logic in seaice_dynsolver (this
83        parameter is not in any namelist)
84      - SEAICEusrPicardAsPrecon to allow s/r seaice_lsr to be used as
85        a preconditioner for the non-linear Newton iteration of the JFNK
86        solver
87    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: replace 1./SEAICE_deltaTdyn with recip_deltaT,
88      affects some experiments at truncation level:
89      - global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (11 digits),
90      - global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice (11 digits),
91      - seaice_itd (12 digits), seaice_itd.lipscomb07 (12 digits) -> update
92      - also update global_ocean.cs32x15 adjoint and tangent-linear results
93    o pkg/salt_plume & pkg/thsice:
94      - for coupled  set-up with pkg/thsice in ATM and pkg/salt_plume in OCN,
95        connect salt_plume flux to ATM-OCN coupling pkgs interface:
96       a) in ATM: also cumulate salt-plume flux in S/R THSICE_SALT_PLUME (for
97         export to coupler interface) even without compiling pkg/salt_plume ;
98       b) in OCN: apply coupler salt-plume flux to pkg/salt_plume field
99         (saltPlumeFlux) just before exch call, in S/R SALT_PLUME_DO_EXCH.
100    o pkg/dic:
101      - use the updated seaice fraction (from seaice pkgs) for DIC forcing
102        instead of the previous time-step value ; done in new S/R DIC_FIELDS_UPDATE
103        called from the top of dic_biotic_forcing.F (instead of in DIC_FIELDS_LOAD);
104      - move also update with values from ATM-OCN Coupler in the same new S/R
105        (previously done in ocn_apply_import.F).
106    o tools/adjoint_options:
107      - specify explicitly "-f77" or "-f90" in default ad-optfile since TAF (default)
108        has been changed on Jan 14, 2016.
109    o pkg/ggl90:
110      - add alternative discretisation of vertical shear (off by default), to
111        compute the mean (@ grid-cell center) of vertical shear compon instead of
112        vertical shear of mean flow (@ grid-cell center).
113      - add correct parenthesis in ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH code to get the same truncated
114        results on adjacent faces of cubed-sphere grids; this fix the restart.
115    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
116      - skip time-ave over cpl_atmSendFrq of Sea-Level Pressure (atmSLPr) and just
117        pass last value, stored directly before export to CPL ;
118        Note: this affects results of Coupled set-up where OCN uses useImportSLP=T
119      - remove atmSLPr from pickup files (no longer needed for restart)
120    
121    checkpoint65s (2016/01/13)
122    o eesupp & genmake2:
123       - first check for Function ETIME and, if it fails, then check for subroutine
124         ETIME and consistent output; use the appropriate version in timers.F
125    o model/src:
126      - to check restart test, add option to apply EXCH to U,V earlier, just before
127        integr_continuity; turned off by default.
128    o pkg/dic:
129      - remove CPP option USE_ATMOSCO2 (not needed)
130    o tools/tst_2+2:
131      - try to ignore difference between +0 and -0 in binary file, causing test
132        to fail for no good reason.
133    o eesupp & genmake2:
134      - put back modif from Jinxuan Zhu - change etime fct call to S/R call -
135        but also check (in genmake2) that test runs and returns meaningful results.
136    o coupler pkgs:
137      Finish implementation of optionally-exchanged variable switches (started on
138       Nov 12) with addition of few more exchanged fields, including 2-way exchange
139       of pkg/thsice vars to allow to use seaice dynamics (from pkg/seaice) & seaice
140       advection in OCN component; this requires sequential coupling.
141      coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler):
142      - add argument msgUnit and iter number to CPL_SEND/RECV_ATM/OCN_FIELDS
143        routines (useful for debug).
144      - only export/import optionally exchanged fields (RunOff, seaice, Salt-Plume
145         flux, DIC fields) if corresponding switch is ON.
146      - add option to export RunOff to OCN (to use for DIC river input)
147      - add 2-way thSIce vars exchange; check for consistent cpl_sequential setting.
148      components (pkg/atm_ & ocn_compon_interf):
149      - to save memory space in ATM & OCN comp: add some #ifdef ALLOW_${PKG} around
150        optionally exchanged fields; add a check & stop in cpl_readparms.F.
151        ATMCPL.h: ALLOW_LAND for RunOff, ALLOW_THSICE for seaice, ALLOW_AIM for CO2;
152        OCNCPL.h: ALLOW_SALT_PLUME, ALLOW_DIC for DIC, ALLOW_THSICE for 2-W thsice.
153      - rename:   fracIce     -> sIceFrac_cpl (<- match coupler var name)
154        + in ATM: fracIceTime -> sIceFracTime ; seaIceTime -> sIceMassTime.
155      - add 2-way thSIce vars exchange ; add Salt-Plume flux ; add RunOff in OCN.
156      - hold in common block coupler optionally-exchanged variable switch
157        and set default "useImportXXX" accordingly; + check & stop if inconsistent.
158      - add diagnostics for all imported fields from coupler (in both OCN & ATM);
159        this is intended to replace the OCN cplFldtave.* output files (not updated
160        to contain new additional exchanged fields).
161    o pkg/dic:
162      - fix an other bug (also from 2014/08/30) in dic_atmos.F, in dic_int1=3 code.
163    o pkg/thsice:
164      - when coupled to ATM (useCoupler) with thSIce_skipThermo=T, skip reading
165        and writing of thsice pickup files.
166    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
167      - move all field individual export-call out of cpl_export_import_data.F
168        into new S/R ATM_EXPORT_FIELDS
169    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
170      - store state variables (for now, only thSIce fields) just before beeing
171        exported (in cpl_export_import_data.F, like on ocean side) instead of from
172        atm_store_my_data.F like all exported fluxes.
173      - new version of pickup_cpl: write field names into meta file and read meta
174        file to find field postion in pickup. Also only write/read fields meeded for
175        restart (same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch)
176    o pkg/dic:
177      - fix bug (added on 2014/08/30) in dic_atmos.F for the case dic_int1= 2 or 3.
178    o pkg/seaice: add new parameter SEAICEpressReplFac to choose between
179        pressure replacement method (=1., default) or original Hibler (1979) (=0.)
180        value can be from domain [0,1] to average between the two methods
181    o pkg/atm_phys:
182      - allow to provide 2-d map of albedo and mixed-layer depth from files (but
183        hold fixed in time).
184    
185    checkpoint65r (2015/12/21)
186    o pkg/seaice:
187        fix bug in tridiagonal solvers for SEAICE_OLx/y>0, this affects the JFNK
188        solver (offline.dyn_jfnk) and global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice -> updated
189    o pkg/seaice:
190      - fix a bug in computing areaS in (J-J -> J-1) that affects runs
191        when SEAICEscaleSurfStress=.TRUE.,
192      - apply areaW and areaS in S/R seaice_calc_lhs
193    o pkg/atm_phys:
194      - add diagnostics for 3-D, Nr+1 levels diagnostics of radiative fluxes
195        (shortwave & longwave, net & downward) and diagnostics of temp. tendency
196        for individual contribution (convection, LSC cond, radiation)
197      - add Ruth Geen etal, GRL 2016, radiation optionis (see paper supp.
198        information); activated with: solar_exponent=0. and wv_exponent=-1.
199    o pkg/ggl90:
200      - within IDEMIX add upper limit for horizontal group velocity to
201        avoid instability problems in the explicit horizontal diffusion term for
202        long time steps or high resolution
203    o pkg/diagnostics:
204      - simplify setting of local-array size in diagstats_output.F: uses "numLevels"
205        (from DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h) to allow to write out more than Nr levels.
206    o testreport:
207      - remove "-v" (verbose option) in default mpirun command.
208    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth:
209      - catch potential division by zero in ITD code, does not change
210        verification results
211    o pkg/ecco:
212      - retire old codes to the Attic. The calls to retired functions are
213        left in a commented form in case they ever need to be re-activated.
214      - ecco_check.F: issue warning if any old CPP option is
215        defined that corresponds to retired codes -- then stop.
216    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
217      - change seaice fraction (use for OCN dic surf.flux) stored and sent to
218        coupler: use last time-step value instead of average over cplSendFrq_iter
219        time-step, similar to what is done for seaIceMass.
220        This will affect results (pkg/dic) of coupled ATM-OCN+dic set-up.
221    o eesupp & genmake2:
222      - from Jinxuan Zhu: change etime fct call to S/R call (fix gfortran ETIME);
223        <= remove until a fix is found for some ifort version on ia32 machine.
224    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp:
225      - refine residual computation
226    
227    checkpoint65q (2015/11/18)
228    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp:
229      - fix residual computations so that they no longer affect the actual
230        simulation code
231      - fix seaice_readparams to be able to actually set new parameters
232        SEAICEaEVPcStar and SEAICEaEVPalphaMin, also fix logic a little
233    o model/src:
234      - fix wrong truncation (single prec) from "FLOAT" function in expressions
235        like: deltaT*FLOAT(myIter) when myIter is large:
236         a) replaced by DFLOAT (if not seen by TAF);
237         b) remove "FLOAT" and use implicit type conversion (if seen by TAF).
238    o pkg/aim_v23:
239      - write/read the expected CO2 pickups (from S/R AIM_DO_CO2): fix reading
240        when pickupSuff is set ; do write rolling pickups + at the end of the run.
241    o pkg/atm_ocn_coupler + ocn_compon_interf:
242      - in prep for using pkg/seaice Dyn in coupled set-up, implement sequential
243        coupling option-1: ATM -(cpl)-> OCN and then OCN -(cpl)-> ATM ;
244        add corresponding call in DO_OCEANIC_PHYS.
245    o coupler pkgs:
246      Start a new way to set-up optionally-exchanged variables (previously, only
247       there for exchange_DIC): switch on/off from 1 place, at run-time, in coupler
248       data.cpl (new) instead of at compile time in ATMIDS.h & OCNIDS.h ;
249       send switch to ATM & OCN compon before reading their own "data.cpl" (so that
250       compononent param default can be set accordingly).
251      Note: this new switch (cpl_exchange_[xxx]) is not a per variable switch
252       but rather applies to a group a fields (going both ways like for DIC)
253       and corresponds to an option of coupling config.
254      coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler):
255      - change parameter file from "data" to "data.cpl" (in cpl_read_params.F),
256        and read namelist directly (without eessup S/R calls) instead of
257        in the very un-flexible old way, 1 param per line, in fixed order;
258      - add error-counter to track errors (e.g., missing "data.cpl") and to stop
259        cleanly in CPL_CHECK_CPLCONFIG
260      - add new coupling-exchange selectors (some not yet active) including
261        cpl_exchange_DIC (to set to 3 to replace atmCpl_exchange_DIC=T in ATMIDS.h
262                                             and ocnCpl_exchange_DIC=T in OCNIDS.h);
263      - add 2 new S/R (CPL_SEND_ATM/OCN_CPLPARMS) to send coupler-params to each
264        component ; called directly from coupler.F, after comp. registrations;
265      - rename few variable-ID names (in ATMIDS.h & OCNIDS.h):
266         atm/ocnSeaIceName --> atm/ocnSIceMassName ; atm/ocnFCO2Name ->
267          -> atm/ocnCO2FluxName ; atm/ocnWSpdName --> atm/ocnWindSpdName
268      components (pkg/atm_ & ocn_compon_interf):
269      - add ATM/OCN_CPL_OPTIONS.h in component pkgs and include the corresponding
270        CPP header file in all pkg source files.
271      - move checking of comp. configs out of cpl_exch_configs.F into new S/R
272        ATM/OCN_CHECK_CPLCONFIG;
273      - add error-counter to track errors (e.g., in "data.cpl") and to stop
274        cleanly in ATM/OCN_CHECK_CPLCONFIG;
275      - add new S/R CPL_IMPORT_CPLPARMS to import coupling-exchange selectors
276        from coupler ; called from initialise_fixed.F, after PACKAGES_BOOT and
277        before PACKAGES_READPARMS;
278      verification/cpl_aim+ocn/:
279      - update ATMIDS.h & OCNIDS.h (in shared_code) and use new parameter file
280        "data.cpl" for coupler (in input_cpl).
281    o eesupp/inc:
282      - change the MPI-global-sum default (in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h) to:
283        #define GLOBAL_SUM_ORDER_TILES (only affects MPI built of global_sum_tile.F)
284        to always cumulate tile local-sum in the same order (still uses
285        MPI_Allreduce like standard code).
286      - in verification experiment code, remove local CPP_EEOPTIONS.h_mpi files
287        that are now identical to standard version (in eesupp/inc).
288    o pkg/shelfice:
289      - add SHELFICETransCoeffTFile for initializing spatially varying
290        heat and salt transfer coefficients
291    o pkg/atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf:
292      - combine into 1 (new) S/R CPL_EXPORT_IMPORT_DATA the two previous
293        S/R CPL_EXPORT_MY_DATA & CPL_IMPORT_EXTERNAL_DATA
294      - move bi,bj loops inside S/R OCN_STORE_MY_DATA
295    o pkg/atm_ocn_coupler:
296      - initialise to zero ATMVARS.h & OCNVARS.h arrays.
297    o pkg/rbcs:
298      - select RBCS-mask for Temp & Salt the same way as for pTracer ; this allows
299        to compile with maskLEN=1 when all tracers use the same RBCS-mask.
300      - add a short report (to STDOUT) about RBCS-mask settings.
301    
302    checkpoint65p (2015/10/23)
303    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: fix store directives and key computations, since
304        there is no adjoint test for EVP, we don't know what it does to the adjoint
305        solution, but at least there are no more recomputation warnings left
306    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: slight modification of averaging so that EVP stands
307        a chance of giving the same results as a fully converged VP (JFNK) solver
308    o tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_diva:
309      - fix bug (typo) in Tang-Linear FLAGS setting for MPI + DIVA
310    o pkg/streamice:
311      - spotted bug in streamice_driving_stress using dyG where should have been dxG
312    o pkg/exf:
313      - remove STOP statement that prevented to use wind or (wind-)stress
314        interpolation for constant-in-time forcing fields (wind/stress period = 0).
315    o pkg/seaice:
316      - replace SEAICE_EVP_USE_ADAPTATION by run time parameters, requires
317        5 additionals 2D fields and 6 new store directives
318      - change logic in seaice_readparms.F: EVP code can now be turned on in
319        various ways, setting SEAICE_deltaTev is no longer required,
320        alternatively set SEAICE_evpAlpha/Beta, SEAICEuseEVPstar, SEAICEuseEVPrev,
321        or SEAICEaEVPcoeff
322    o pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F
323      - redefining uLoc/vLoc to u/v, instead of 2u/v
324    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: introduce "adaptive EVP" by Madlen Kimmritz
325      - this is an intermediate state of a truely converging EVP that has
326        the potential of outperforming implicit VP methods, I do not recommend
327        using it yet.
328      - for now, "adaptive EVP" is turned on by setting SEAICE_EVP_USE_ADAPTATION
329        and all parameters are hardwired
330      - for convergence it still requires very smooth regularisations, that means,
331        if SEAICE_DELTA_SMOOTHREG is defined, deltaCreg=deltaC+deltaMin, which is
332        different from the VP case with deltaCreg=sqrt(deltaC**2+deltaMin**2); also
333        specific averaging appears to be required, still subject to tuning
334      - still needs cleaning and I need to turn parameter into runtime parameters
335      - add code to compute and print residuals of iteration, compile with
336        defining ALLOW_SEAICE_EVP_RESIDUAL to enable it
337    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F: fix a bug (factor of four in front of e12Csq)
338      that entered with r1.54 on Sep04, 2015, -> update results
339    
340    checkpoint65o (2015/09/14)
341    o pkg/mom_vecinv & mom_common:
342      - add deep-atmosphere geometry factor in mom_calc_visc.F + in routines
343        called from there.
344      - add anelastic and deep-atmosphere geometry factor in pkg/mom_vecinv ; this
345        allows to use Vector-Invariant form in deep atmos and anelastic formulation
346    o pkg/seaice: introduce fast ice parameterisation following Itkin et al. (2015)
347      and Koenig-Beatty+Holland (2012)
348      - two new parameters SEAICE_tensilFac and SEAICE_tensilDepth
349      - global 2D field tensileStrength, computed in seaice_calc_ice_strength
350      - requires an extra input argument for S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
351      - tensileStrength's depth dependence is different from Itkin et al. (2015)
352        (to be changed and played with, for now exponential)
353    o pkg/seaice: introduce new parameter SEAICEscaleSurfStress (default = .FALSE.)
354      - if TRUE scale ice-ocean and ice-atmosphere stress acting on sea ice
355        by AREA according to Connelly et al. (2004), JPO.
356      - For EVP and the LSR solver, the implicit part of the drag term is
357        the only non-zero term in the denominator when there is no ice (which
358        prevented running the model with zero ice-ocean drag). If
359        SEAICEscaleSurfStress = .TRUE., this results in a division by zero
360        (or zero main diagonals BU/BV) which need to be caught. A practical
361        consequence is that for open water, the momentum equation reduce
362        to trivially 0 = 0 + 0 (for EVP). For LSR, BU/BV are reset to 1, if
363        they happen to be zero, often leading to a non-zero solution over
364        open water.
365    o pkg/seaice: revise EVP code (seaice_evp.F) in preparation for a more
366        efficient EVP method.
367      - introduce area-weighted averages for e12 (analogously to
368        seaice_calc_viscosities.F); this totally changes lab_sea.hb87 (2 digits
369        remain, but also changing the order of terms in the previous average
370        changed the results as much) -> update experiment
371      - add SEAICE_DELTA_SMOOTHREG code
372      - disentangle computation of zetaC/deltaC and zetaZ/deltaZ, also for
373        TEM-code
374      - adjust loop bounds so that only required fields are computed
375      - add new averaging code for zetaZ/deltaZ (again similar to
376        seaice_calc_viscosities.F), inactive by default for now (will change
377        results again), but will replace old code eventually
378    o eesupp/src:
379      - add an other alternative for multi-proc GLOBAL_SUM (in global_sum_tile.F)
380        to always cumulate tile local-sum in the same order
381        (option #define GLOBAL_SUM_ORDER_TILES in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h).
382        Still uses MPI_Allreduce (like standard code) but on array of tiles
383        and should be faster than GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV code.
384      - switch almost all verification experiments that use GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV
385        (defined in CPP_EEOPTIONS.h_mpi) to GLOBAL_SUM_ORDER_TILES instead.
386      - add CPP_EEOPTIONS.h_mpi with GLOBAL_SUM_ORDER_TILES defined in 14 more exp.:
387         aim.5l_cs, cheapAML_box, deep_anelastic, dome, fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
388         fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, global_ocean_ebm, matrix_example,
389         natl_box, solid-body.cs-32x32x1, tutorial_advection_in_gyre,
390         tutorial_baroclinic_gyre and tutorial_held_suarez_cs.
391    
392    checkpoint65n (2015/07/29)
393    o pkg/thsice:
394      - add a warning when used with pkg/aim but without updating SST
395        (stepFwd_oceMxL=F & useCoupler=F & tauRelax_MxL<>-1 ).
396    o pkg/offline:
397      - change where Offline-Fields are loaded, from load_fields_driver.F to
398        directly within FORWARD_STEP, just after updating iter number and time;
399      - move setting of GM and KPP diffusivity out of OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD into new
400        S/R OFFLINE_GET_DIFFUS that is called towards the end of DO_OCEANIC_PHYS;
401       These changes allow:
402        a) to recover exactly on-line results using deltaToffline=deltaTClock,
403        tested (using offlineIter0= nIter0 -1 and offlineTimeOffset= -deltaT/2)
404        both with Lin & Non-Lin Free-Surf, both with staggerTimeStep & synchronous
405        time-step, both with GM & KPP files and with recomputing these fields;
406        b) no needs to switch on staggerTimeStep anymore;
407        c) simplify rescaling of offline horiz. velocity with Non-Lin Free-Surf.
408      - update output of experiment tutorial_dic_adjoffline (only 3 digits left).
409    o pkg/offline:
410      - change (rarely used) offset-iteration parameter to an offset time (in s):
411        can easily recover previous offset-iter effect by setting offset-time
412        (offlineTimeOffset) to offset-iter x deltaToffline;
413      - do not turn-off Temp & Salinity surface relaxation when using KPP (used
414        in KPP as part of surface buoyancy forcing) in offline run.
415      - fix ptracers KPP non-local term in the case where KPP is re-computed.
416    o OpenAD
417      - Adding preliminary ggl90 test to OpenAD verification.
418        Config. with ggl90 currently diverges after 64 time steps
419        so will need more work to become more stable
420      - Adding preliminary kpp test to OpenAD verification.
421        required small tweakes in kpp_routines.F
422      - Merge and update from Krishna Narayanan's contrib area:
423        * Add one variable for preliminary OpenAD DIVA
424        * Add replacement time-stepping for OpenAD DIVA
425        * genmake2 flag -diva (but only for OpenAD; preliminary)
426        * required modifs for OAD_support
427        successful preliminary test for tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/
428    o pkg/seaice:
429      - initialise deltaC in seaice_lsr, cosmetic changes in seaice_lsr
430      - add cpp-flag SEAICE_DELTA_SMOOTHREG for option of regularising
431        delta with a smooth function in s/r seaice_calc_viscosity
432        (no effect on EVP)
433      - rename local suffix "sqr" into "sq" for more consistent variable names
434    o pkg/seaice:
435        add new parameter SEAICE_deltaMin that is used ***only***
436        for regularizing Delta (and nothing else, like the parameter
437        which is also used for all sorts of things SEAICE_EPS).
438        Defaults to SEAICE_EPS for backward compatibility only.
439    o pkg/seaice: replace erroneously storing e12Csqr on the wrong tape with
440        the wrong key by inialising it before use -> fixes a recomputation
441        problem but does not fix the gradient
442    o pkg/layers:
443      - move resetting of flux arrays to outside the iLa loop
444        (this caused layers_diapycnal to not work with more than one layer coord.)
445      - fix bug in calculation of layers_recip_delta in layers_init_fixed.F
446    o pkg/layers:
447      - remove from common block 3D layers fields (used to diagnose transport
448        in tracer coords) and declare them as local arrays in layers_calc.F
449    o pkg/seaice:
450      - Rename SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA to SEAICE_LSR_ZEBRA and define it
451        in lab_sea forward experiment (changes results -> updated)
452      - update adjoint experiment lab_sea after cleaning up seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
453    o pkg/seaice: modify seaice_lsr.F in order to improve the gradient
454       computations; for SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR
455      - move the loops over which the tridiagonal solvers (seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v)
456        sweep to the outside,
457      - remove store directives and add "CADJ loop sequential" directives
458        in analogy to model/src/solve_tridiagonal.F
459      - replace many "#ifdef SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA" by variable loop
460        boundaries to yield more readable code. This has also the charming side
461        effect that your can use SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA without
462        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR (i.e. adjoint without recomputations in
463        seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v now requires either of these flags, vectorization
464        still requires SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR with SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA as
465        an additional option)
466       The tridiagonal solvers are now completely analoguous to solve_tridiagonal.F
467       but the adjoint gradients (which are affected by this change) still explode.
468    o coupler (atm & ocn _compon_interf):
469      - avoid using Exch2 IO mapping if not suitable.
470    
471    checkpoint65m (2015/06/15)
472    o pkg/layers:
473      - clean-up old parameters setting (from Sep 2012):
474        + remove old parameters setting from common block (declared locally);
475        + stop if any old parameter is mixed with new parameters;
476        + check for valid or consistent parameter setting (e.g., layers_name)
477      - check that layers_bounds for Pot.Density are in the right range;
478        this is supposed to catch un-updated setting after recently shifting
479        potential density field "prho" by -1000 (now in "sigma" scale).
480    o pkg/layers:
481      - Added missing call to layers_fill for keeping track of tottend in
482        pkg/diagnostics/diagnostics_fill_state.F
483    o pkg/layers:
484      - added CPP flux LAYERS_FINEGRID_DIAPYCNAL to disable fine-grid binning
485        of diapycnal fluxes
486    o pkg/layers:
487      - reverted changes to interpolation to previous treatment; there
488        was never actually a problem
489    o pkg/layers:
490      - fix interpolation of layers tracers in the presence of partial cells
491      - add lots of new functionality to compute water mass transformation
492        (enabled by CPP flag LAYERS_THERMODYNAMICS)
493      - add new calls from main code (diags_oceanic_surf_flux.F,
494        thermodynamics.F, impldiff.F) and gad to save the necessary fields
495        for layers_thermodynamics calculations
496    o pkg/ptracers:
497      - add capability of stepping a passive tracer forward without advection
498        by setting PTRACERS_advScheme to 0.
499    o pkg/diagnostics:
500      - add few (threads) _BARRIER around any update of "diag_pkgStatus".
501    o pkg/layers:
502      - shift potential density field "prho" by -1000 for density layer averaging so
503        that it corresponds to usual "sigma" definition (i.e., rho(p=const)-1000);
504        Note that density bin boundaries (layers_bounds in data.layers) have
505        to be set accordingly (i.e., shifted, in sigma scale).
506    o pkg/layers:
507      - fix snap-shot output of layer thickness @ V.pt and output of pot.density
508      - fix calculation of layer non-weighted velocity and layer probability
509      - add diagnostics for pot.density used for layer averaging
510    o pkg/seaice:
511      - seaice_calc_viscosity.F: change computation of deltaC**2 to ensure
512        positiveness, modify a few comments and improve variable names,
513      - the changed computation of deltaC affects most seaice-related
514        experiments at the truncation level.
515        seaice_itd.thermo is affected by far the most, with
516        only 7 digits of agreement remaining; update experiments.
517    
518    checkpoint65l (2015/05/04)
519    o pkg/shelfice:
520      - in shelfice_thermodynamics.F, if SHELFICEBoundaryLayer=.true., then set
521        factor drKp1 to zero where it is negative (ie. do not use
522        SHELFICEBoundaryLayer if hFacC>1)
523      - the same for factor drLoc in shelfice_forcing.F
524    o tools/genmake2: move FEXTRAFLAGS from FFLAGS to FOPTIM to avoid a problem
525        with modules in ptracers, when using testreport option "-small_f"
526    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F (in case of SEAICE_ITD)
527      - replace tmpscal1**1.36 by faster exp(1.36*log(tmpscal1))
528    o verification/testreport
529      - add new option -small_f
530        with this option testreport first makes the target small_f (*.f files)
531        before running make (all). This is useful for explicit inlining when
532        all sources need to be full available.
533    o pkg/exf/exf_interp.F:
534        remove previous changes related to reverse (decreasing) input grids latitude
535    
536    checkpoint65k (2015/04/01)
537    o pkg/ecco:
538        fix missing cosphi initialization; use eccoiter in place of optimcycle;
539        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
540        instead of active read/write
541    o pkg/ctrl:
542        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
543        instead of active read/write.
544    o pkg/autodiff: make autodiff_readparms.F and autodiff_whtapeio_sync.F
545        return if .NOT.useAUTODIFF
546    o pkg/seaice: add CPP brackets (cost function related).
547    o model/src:
548        add useAUTODIFF run time switch.
549    o pkg/exf/exf_interp.F:
550        add code to allow input grids with latitude starting in the north (i.e. when
551        j=1 corresponds to northern edge of field); modify global_with_exf to test
552        this feature.
553    o verification/testreport:
554      - replace "grep -A3" with POSIX conformal sed command, because there are
555        implementations of grep that cannot do contextual searches
556      - replace "cat -n" by "nl" (two occurrences), because not all implementations
557        of "cat" have the option "-n"
558    o model/src:
559        add new file gsw_teos10.F that contains 3 functions, more or less a copy
560        of the gsw_toolbox.f90 of the TEOS-10 fortran interface, that are used to
561        convert from conservative to potential temperature. For now they are not
562        called anywhere.
563    o pkg/ggl90: make "useIDEMIX" useful
564      - re-organize code in s/r ggl90_calc a little to move computations that
565        are different for idemix into separate loops (changes verification
566        experiment idemix at truncation level, 12 digits remain -> updated)
567      - requires 2 new 2D fields KappaM, verticalShear
568      - make hFacI and recip_hFacI local 3D variables that are passed to
569        s/r ggl90_idemix
570      - fix and improve some comments
571    
572    checkpoint65j (2015/02/25)
573    o pkg/openad
574      - synchronize seawater.F with version in model/src: replace routine
575        body of sw_temp by calling sw_ptmp and fix/add a few comments.
576    o pkg/mnc:
577      - change default value of pickup_read/write_mnc params to FALSE
578        (since few features are missing in reading MNC pickup files).
579    o model/src:
580      - change default (background) vertical diffusivity for salt to be the
581        temperature (background) vertical diffusivity.
582      - change background vertical diffusivity in vertical mixing pkgs ggl90,
583        kl10, my82 and pp81 from temperature diffusivity to salinity diffusivity.
584        This makes ptracers default diffusivity (that uses salt diffKr) more
585        consistent with vertical mixing schemes.
586    o verification/testreport:
587      - fix typo in "-pcls" option ;
588      - put temp files in /tmp (instead of in local dir)
589      - add option "-ncad" to use genmake2 new option "-nocat4ad"
590      - allow to use "-j" option (for multi-procs make) for AD, OAD and TLM.
591    o pkg/ggl90 (idemix code):
592      - apply few fixes ; add some missing "_d 0" ; update output of exp.
593        global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
594    o OpenAD
595      - enable active file I/O and begin removal of work-around code
596        for OpenAD for handling control variables (memory vs. active files)
597      - new CPP options file OPENAD_OPTIONS.h
598      - revert to genarr2d gradient check for hs94.1x64x5
599      - (genarr3d tested by tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_tracer_adjsens)
600      - gentim2d works for halfpipe_streamice but not yet hs94.1x64x5
601    o tools/genmake2:
602      - add option for an alternative Makefile (from Martin) where multiple
603        source files are sent to TAF (instead of all in one file).
604    o pkg/ggl90: add IDEMIX (Olbers and Eden, 2013)
605      - code provided by Carsten Eden as an extension of ggl90
606      - so far the code is turned on within ggl90 by setting a CPP-flag at
607        compile time; a runtime flag implementation is not yet complete
608      - tested in new verification experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
609    o verification:
610      - reduce length of the AD test run by half for experiments
611        global_ocean.cs32x15 (std + thsice) and isomip
612      - enable active file I/O for OpenAD, adjust verifications accordingly
613      - halfpipe_streamice: change gradient check from genarr2d to gentim2d
614    o verification/testreport:
615      - fix two non-POSIX sed statements so that there are no error messages
616        on Mac OS X
617      - replace hostname -s with hostname | sed 's/\..*$//'
618    o model/src/seawater.F:
619      - simplify SW_TEMP to just calling SW_PTMP with P and PR exchanged
620        (following the matlab code), which would have avoided the bug caught
621        by Matt (see below) in the first place
622    o pkg/shelfice:
623      - implement alternative discretisation of quadratic drag (selectBotDragQuadr)
624        and true distance in no-slip BC (bottomVisc_pCell) similar to bottom-drag.
625      - fix sign of friction tendency (no-slip BC) and fix u,v drag for thin
626        ice-shelf case (i.e., within surface level).
627      - add config summary in shelfice_check.F
628      - remove global variable recip_SHELFICElatentHeat and replace by a local
629        variable recip_latentHeat
630      - introduce diagnostics for friction velocity uStar (in case of
631        SHELFICEuseGammaFrict)
632      - change verification experiment isomip.htd:
633        + start from pickup (as input_ad at nIter0=8640)
634        + start from SHELFICEmassFile instead of SHELFICEloadAnomaly file
635        + test SHELFICEuseGammaFrict = .TRUE.
636        + test SHELFICEadvDiffHeatFlux = .TRUE.
637    o model/src:
638      - fix bug (Thanks to Matt) in function SW_TEMP (to convert Pot.Temp to
639        in-situ Temp) and in routine SW_TEMP (in pkg/openad);
640        update output of experiments global_with_exf.yearly and isomip (all 6).
641    o pkg/shelfice:
642      - change setting of kTopC to also be zero where there is no ice-shelf.
643      - zero out surface forcing arrays (for now, for T & S + EmPmR) where
644        ice-shelf is.
645      - first attempt to get RealFreshWaterFlux effects: for now, only without
646        SHELFICEboundaryLayer ; not consistent if using synchronous time-stepping.
647    o pkg/seaice: add the option to prescribe a fixed thickness PDF
648      for thermodynamic calculations
649      - because of divisions of the type 7/7 not exactly equal to 1, this change
650        affects results of some verification experiments by up to 4 digits:
651        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice, lab_sea, lab_sea.fd, lab_sea.salt_plume,
652        seaice_obcs, seaice_obcs.seaiceSponge, seaice_obcs.tides
653        adjoint: lab_sea, lab_sea.noseaicedyn
654        -> updated
655    
656    checkpoint65i (2015/01/23)
657    o model/src:
658      - change units of frictionHeating field from W to W/m^2
659      - fix bug in frictional heating from stratospheric drag in
660        S/R ATM_PHYS_TENDENCY_APPLY_V
661      - with synchronous time-stepping: move resetting to zero of frictionHeating
662        field from load_fields_driver.F to thermodynamics.F ;
663      - add diagnostics for frictional heating.
664    o model/src & gmredi K3D:
665      - add frictionHeating field to pickup-files (for synchronous time-stepping)
666      - move ALLOW_EDDYPSI block out of DYNVARS.h and merge it into FFIELDS.h
667      - rename uMean,vMean --> uEulerMean,vEulerMean (+ change diagnostics name
668        and name in pickup file).
669      - fix arguments of few DIAGNOSTICS_FILL calls in gmredi_k3d.F
670    o model/src:
671      - move (from ini_forcing.F) initialisation of all arrays in header file
672        FFIELDS.h into new S/R ini_ffields.F ; this fix broken restart
673        (since Nov 2012) with option selectAddFluid=1.
674    o pkg/shelfice:
675      - change units (+ document) of newly added field "shelfIceMassDynTendency"
676      - upgrade from _RS to _RL shelficeMass & shelficeLoadAnomaly arrays.
677    o pkg/obcs: re-organize obcs_calc_stevens.F to prepare for passive tracers
678    o pkg/seaice: two new runtime parameters:
679      - SEAICE_cStar replaces the hard wired "20" in the strength formulation,
680        long overdue
681      - SEAICE_tensilFac: preparation for Koenig-Beatty+Holland (2012)
682        parameterization of tensil stress for fast ice (does not do anything yet)
683    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: left over from restricted addtive Schwarz method
684        for LSR: move checking overlaps out of JFNK-if-block
685    o pkg/atm_phys:
686      - move copy of grid and dynamical fields out of atm_phys_driver.F into
687        new S/R ATM_PHYS_DYN2PHYS.
688      - fix level height for Linear Free-Surf case (to be consistent with
689        fixed-in-time pressure levels).
690    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
691      - average bottomDragFld (ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL) from grid-cell center
692        to correct location (U & V point) in S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
693        update output (adm & tlm) of experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.bottomdrag.
694    o pkg/shelfice (u/v_drag):
695      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG;
696      - use SHELFICEDragLinear & SHELFICEDragQuadratic in shelfice_v_drag.F
697        (now similar to shelfice_u_drag.F)
698      - remove condition on bottomDragTerms when calling SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG
699        from mom_vecinv.F (similar to mom_fluxform calls).
700    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
701      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
702      - add options for alternative discretisation of velocity norm in quadratic
703        bottom drag: averaging of grid-cell-center KE to U.point and V.point
704        (selectBotDragQuadr=0, original code) can produce noisy patterns; this
705        improves when averaging only the other component (e.g. vVel for U bottom
706        drag) using wet-point method (selectBotDragQuadr=2) or not (=1).
707      - add options (bottomVisc_pCell) to account for partial-cell in bottom
708        friction (no-slip BC) thus getting the true distance from the bottom;
709        off by default since this also reduces model stability (explicit bottom
710        friction). Changes produce different machine truncation with linear-drag
711        + no-slip BC: update output of experiments exp4.stevens (10 digits) and
712        front_relax (bvp & mxl, 10 & 11 digits).
713    o model/src & mom pkgs:
714      - add one more level to vertical viscosity local arrays (Nr+1, previously Nr)
715        since no-slip bottom BC uses viscosity @ k+1 to update velocity @ level k
716      - for now and until vertical mixing scheme are updated to fill up level Nr+1,
717        just copy level Nr value to level Nr+1.
718    o doc:
719      - add notes form Abhisek Chakraborty on how to close Heat & Salt budgets.
720    o pkg/streamice:
721      - shelfice_init_varia.F, shelfice_init_fixed.F, shelfice_readparms.F,
722        SHELFICE.h: move array shelficemass to init_varia, initialise
723        from array shelficemassinit, which is set in init_fixed and
724        has option to be set from file; introduce array
725        shelficeMassDynTend array, set thru file in init_fixed
726      - NEW FILE: shelfice_step_icemass.F: update shelficemass from either
727        shelfIceFreshWaterFlux and shelficeMassDynTend or H_streamice in
728        pkg/streamice
729      - shelfice_thermodynamics.F: call shelfice_step_icemass if
730        SHELFICEMassStepping = .true.
731      - shelfice_ad_diff.list: add new subroutine shelfice_step_icemass.f
732    
733    checkpoint65h (2014/12/17)
734    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15, global_ocean_ebm:
735      - update to generic controls.
736    o pkg/ctrl:
737      - ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F: test for igen>0
738      - ctrl_init_variables.F: add call to CTRL_MAP_INI_GENTIM2D.
739      - move gentim2d part of ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F to
740        new separate routine : ctrl_map_ini_gentim2d.F
741      - ctrl_cost_driver.F,ctrl_init.F ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
742        add time variable weights and cyclic controls (time mean,
743        seasonal cycle, etc) capabilities to gentim2d
744    o pkg/ecco:
745      - move reading of error, conversion to weights from
746        ecco_cost_init_fixed.F to ecco_toolbox.F (ecco_readwei)
747    o global_oce_llc90, cs32:
748      - activte sbo.
749      - CTRL_SIZE.h : add maxCtrlProc.
750      - activate the new genctrl capabilities.
751      - update following reorganization of global_oce_input_fields.tar.gz  
752    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_ad_diff.list:
753      - add missing ctrl_init_rec.f
754    o tools/OAD_support/keepOriginal:
755      - add ctrl_init_rec.F
756    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
757      - avoid recomputations of xx_gentim2d_dummy.
758    o momentum diagnostics:
759      - move filling of diagnostics Um_Diss & Vm_Diss from mom_fluxform.F and
760        mom_vecinv.F to timestep.F (to include Smag-3D contribution).
761    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F:
762      - fix computation of BU/BV, make sure they are non-zero, only necessary
763        for cubed sphere exchanges and SEAICE_OLx/y>0.
764        This makes calling s/r fill_cs_corner_rl obsolete (removed).
765    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
766      - add test for strong implicit coupling and restricted addtive Schwarz
767        methods for LSR
768      - update results/output.seaice.txt
769    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
770      - AD & OAD set-up: switch off ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (like in fwd set-up)
771        and set PTRACERS_EvPrRn(1,2) to zero (for DIC & ALK);
772        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
773    o pkg/dic:
774      - change default to "#undef ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX" in DIC_OPTIONS.h
775      - add a stop when ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX is defined and PTRACERS_EvPrRn
776        for tracer 1 & 2 is set (to avoid double counting of dilution effect).
777    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
778      - AD & OAD set-up: do not set PTRACERS_EvPrRn for tracer 1 & 2 since
779        dilution is already added by pkg/dic ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX ;
780        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
781    o eesupp/src:
782      - add fill_cs_corner_rl.F (_RL-copy of fill_cs_corner_rs.F)
783        and call it in seaice_lsr when using nonzero SEAICE_OLx/y
784    o pkg/seaice: introduce strongly implicit coupling, intended for stabilizing
785      LSR (following Hutchings et al. 2004)
786      - introduce zetaZ as a global variable (requires adjustments in
787        seaice_evp.F and seaice_jfnk.F) and compute analoguously to etaZ
788        in seaice_calc_viscosities.F
789      - new flag SEAICEuseStrImpCpl (default off)
790      - add new terms zetaZ*du/dy and zetaZ*dv/dx on both sides of the
791        momentum equations
792      - JFNK-solver (preconditioner) adjusted to allow using this method
793        (where it does not have any positive effect)
794    o pkg/seaice
795      - add overlap for restrictive additive Schwartz method also to LSR, but
796        turn it off by default (because it only seems to work for non-cubed
797        sphere/llc topologies)
798    o pkg/autodiff
799      - add extra exchanges in addummy_in_steppging also for mnc output
800    o pkg/seaice:
801      - add extra exchanges before dumping adjoint fields in seaice_ad_dump.F
802        to avoid stripes in the adjoint output (similar to addummy_in_stepping.F)
803    o pkg/obcs:
804      - add option to specify domain-connected piece Id along OB though files
805        (for now, only used to diagnose PhiVel; default =1 -> global correction)
806      - modify obcs_diag_balance.F to process each connected-part separately;
807        exclude OB where Id = 0 but keep the full divergence there (-> constant
808        Psi along this portion of OB and all inflow derived from grad(Phi))
809      - add example of OB-conect files in verification/so_box_biogeo/input.
810    o pkg/diagnostics:
811      - improve treatment of Open-Boundaries in Velocity-Potential calculation:
812      a) use non zero matrix element across OB and solve for Phi 1 grid point
813         outside OB (i.e, where tracer OBCS are applied).
814      b) global imbalance of inFlow/outFlow across OB: instead of modifying
815         velocity across OB, spread it uniformly along the OB in the RHS.
816    
817    checkpoint65g (2014/11/19)
818    o pkg/diagnostcis:
819      - add preconditioner off-diagonal factor (diagCG_pcOffDFac) as run-time param
820    o pkg/my82,pp81,kl10:
821      - fix ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR implementation (previously had no effect): use 3-D
822        field diffKr as background diffusivity to set minimum diffusivity value.
823    o pkg/seaice:
824      - add new parameter SEAICEuseEVPrev (for revisited EVP by
825        Bouillon et al 2013)
826      - add SEAICE_evpAlpha/Beta to namelist
827      - modify seaice_evp code to able to use SEAICEuseEVPrev. These changes
828        involve trivial re-ordering of divisions/multiplications that should not
829        have any effects, but ... they do change the results of lab_sea.hb87 so
830        that only 2 digits of agreement remain, in line with the general
831        instability/fragility of the evp-code. For now, I do not care and just
832        update the verification experiment
833    o pkg/ctrl : add generic pre-processing (xx_genarr2d_preproc etc)
834      - remove xx_genarr2d_numsmooth etc
835      - use xx_genarr2d_preproc etc instead
836      - carry out smooth_correl2D at initialization stage rather than during
837        time stepping.
838      - get smoothOpNb from xx_gentim2d_preproc
839    o global_oce_cs32 :
840      - add test of generic ecco capabilities.
841    o pkg/exf/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F :
842      - add to tmpUE/tmpVN rather than re-initializing them (conventional behavior).
843    o pkg/ctrl,ecco :
844      - omit un-necessary arguments to ctrl_cost_gen.F unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED
845        is defined.
846    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for Delta (deformation parameter)
847    o model/src:
848      - when ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR is defined, add a Warning if any of the vertical
849        diffusivity (background) is specified but ignored.
850    o verification:
851      - in testreport, convert hostname to lower case for default output dir name
852    o model, pkg : add useCTRL, useECCO parameters (on/off run time switch).
853    o pkg/dic: add modifications from Hajoon:
854      - add iron sedimentation flux function of the flux of PO4 out of bottom layer
855      - light attenuation: add self-shading effect by climatological Chlorophyll
856        (read from file).
857    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F : fix cpp flags, so that code also
858        compiles when SEAICE_ALLOW_DYNAMICS is undefined
859    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now use separate
860        AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h, ECCO_OPTIONS.h rather than
861        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (i.e. replacing the deprecated, circumvoluted,
862        approach where CPP_OPTIONS.h includes an omnipotent
863        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h that superseeds pkgs '_OPTIONS.h').
864    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F : include GMREDI_OPTIONS.h where
865        ALLOW_3D_KAPGM, ALLOW_3D_KAPREDI (to be added later) belong.
866    o pkg/seaice/SEAICE_SIZE.h : replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC with ALLOW_AUTODIFF
867        to avoid needing AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h anytime SEAICE_SIZE.h is included
868        (it seems that THSICE_SIZE.h, PTRACERS_SIZE.h have the same issue...)
869    o model/src, pkg/smooth, profiles, salt_plume, seaice, exf, ecco, ctrl :
870      add ECCO_OPTIONS.h, AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h when needed
871      - ECCO_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ecco_cost.h, ecco.h
872      - AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h is needed when including tamc.h, tamc_keys.h
873      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ctrl.h, optim.h, etc
874    o pkg/ctrl,ecco,exf :
875      - remove variables associated with NON-generic costs,
876        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
877      - remove NON-generic NON-obcs controls,
878        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
879    o pkg/ctrl : added ctrl_local_params.h
880    o pkg/ecco : added ecco_local_params.h
881    o verification : added ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED to most as and oad
882        experiments, which will progressively be removed once the
883        experiments are revised to use only generic controls/costs.
884    
885    checkpoint65f (2014/10/13)
886    o pkg/ctrl, ecco, seaice : minor changes in headers
887    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now test generic
888        cost function and control capabilities added since checkpoint65c.
889    o pkg/ctrl: regroup all obcs ctrl variables in CTRL_OBCS.h.
890    o pkg/ecco: increase modularity and improve logic
891      - ecco_toolbox.F (new) : basic operations that are often used,
892        including ecco_zero, ecco_cp, ecco_cprsrl, ecco_diffmsk,
893        ecco_addcost, ecco_add, ecco_div, ecco_readbar.
894      - cost_gencal.F (new) : determine filnames and records.
895      - cost_genread.F, cost_generic.F : condense code using ecco_toolbox.
896      - cost_generic.F : use spzeroloc rather than hard-coded -9999,
897        and exploit the above functions leading to more compact code.
898      - cost_genread.F : rm un-necessary arguments, re-arrange args order.
899      - ecco_check.F, ecco_readparms.F : bring logic up to date (using_tpj,

901    o pkg/ecco: extend generic cost capabilities
902      - pkg/ecco : added 3D gencost (ALLOW_GENCOST3D), added gencost
903        capabilities via gencost_preproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params),
904        gencost_posproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params), gencost_nrecperiod,
905        gencost_outputlevel arguments to cost_generic
906      - pkg/ecco/cost_genread.F (new) : interface between cost_generic
907        and active_read, making room for gencost_preproc to take effect.
908        Added preproc code ('climmon') to replace GENERIC_BAR_MONTH.
909      - pkg/ecco/cost_generic.F :
910        compute and store misfit maks*(model-data) in localdif that is
911        then used in cost and for output, output misfit if outlev.GT.0
912      - pkg/ecco/cost_averagesfields.F : depend on gencost_barskip
913        rather gencost_barfile for deciding whether to write barfile
914      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_driver.F : extract call to cost_profiles from cost_hyd
915      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_init_fixed.F : extract gencost weights from
916        ecco_cost_weights, re-activate ecco_summary, determine gencost_barskip
917      - pkg/ecco/ecco_summary.F : report gencost variables
918      - pkg/ecco/cost_gencost_customize.F : treat case of scatterometer costs
919    o pkg/sea/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h : add ALLOW_COST_ICE, ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA
920    o pkg/ecco: internal re-organization
921      - resolve un-necessary dependancies within pkg/ecco and to pkg/ctrl
922        (rm includes of optim.h and ctrl.h, replace optimcycle with eccoiter,
923        mv relevant variables definition from ecco_cost.h to ecco.h,
924        make sure gencost routines only include ecco.h)
925      - throughout : add missing CCP switches, rm unused variables,
926        and rm un-necessary CPP switches
927      - throughout gencost routines : replace modelstartdate with
928        gencost_startdate when needed
929      - cost_bp_read.F : use arguments, instead of common blocs
930        so that it can be used also by (new) cost_gencost_bpv4.F
931      - ecco_init_varia.F : initialize RHOsumGlob_0, VOLsumGlob_0
932      - ecco_phys.F : compute etanFull
933      - ecco_readparms.F : rename using_topex as using_tpj, add
934        bpv4-grace to gencost list, initialize added parameters
935      - ecco_summary.F : include SIZE.h needed for augmented ecco.h
936    
937    checkpoint65e (2014/09/28)
938    o pkg/obcs:
939      - replaced the just-added CPP options with run-time variables
940        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_PARAMS.h for details)
941    o pkg/obcs:
942      - add additional CPP options for sponge boundary layers
943        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_OPTIONS.h for details)
944    o pkg/atm_phys:
945      - implement simple (obliquity only, assuming circular planet orbit)
946        seasonal cycle for incoming insolation ; used when run-time parameter
947        "select_incSW" is set to 1 ; by default (=0), uses old unchanged formula.
948    o pkg/exf, pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl:
949      - add ctrlUseGen and .NOT.ctrlUseGen exclusive brackets
950      - activate gentim2d for xx_atemp,xx_aqh,xx_swdown,xx_lwdown,xx_precip

958      - add weight in CTRL_GET_GEN calls
959    o pkg/ctrl :
960      - ctrl_get_gen.F : add weight as input parameter, and apply
961        it directly rather than using smooth_correl2Dw (to be retired).

963    o pkg/ctrl :
964      - introduce run time switch ctrlUseGen (in ctrl.h, ctrl_check.F,

978        xx_genarr2d_numsmooth, xx_genarr3d_numsmooth
979    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F :
980      - remove compilation failure
981      - replace hard coded example
982      - use ctrl_map_ini_gen2D, 3D
983    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F :
984      - on/off switch based upon xx_genarr2d_weight,3d

1003    o ecco/ecco_init_varia.F
1004      - new routine
1005    o pkg/streamice:
1006      - move call to STREAMICE_INITIALIZE_PETSC from the_model_main.F
1007        to streamice_init_fixed.F ; fix setting of STREAMICEisOn.
1008      - from model/src, only call pkg/streamice routines if useStreamIce is TRUE.
1009    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1010      - fix bug causing negatives in GAD_SMOLARKIEWICZ_HACK, introduced 8/8/2014.

1020    o OpenAD verification experiments:
1021      - Include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h, and CTRL_OPTIONS.h
1022        in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h);
1023        for now, only in pkgs used in OpenAD verification experiments.
1024      - Change all except one (halfpipe_streamice) OpenAD experiments to use pkg
1025        specific option file (AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h & CTRL_OPTIONS.h)
1026        instead of using ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (with all relevant options in it).
1027        This applies to both TAF (*/code_ad/) and OpenAD (*/code_oad/) tests.
1028    o OpenAD verification tests:
1029      - finish removing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD (replaced by ALLOW_OPENAD);
1030      - finish replacing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for
1031        tape/storage which are specific to TAF/TAMC) in pkgs used in OpenAD exp.
1032      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undef in OpenAD verification tests (*/code_oad/)
1033        and remove local copy of "tamc.h" (needed only if ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC).
1034    o model/src & generic_advdiff:
1035      - change hard-coded loop-range in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T/S to set T & S
1036        forcing over 0:sNx+1, 0:sNy=1 (instead of just 1:sNx,1:sNy): Model
1037        dynamics requires valid tracer forcing only over tile interior but, for
1038        some diagnostics, may need to extend it over 1 point in tile halo region.
1039      - in gad_calc_rhs.F, update calls to gmredi_x/ytransport to get valid
1040        tendency over i,j_Min,Max range. This allows to simplfy i,j_Min,Max
1041        setting in temp/salt/ptracer_integrate.F
1042    o pkg/dic:
1043      - multiply tracer tendencies by maskInC (if ussing OBCS) before updating
1044        gchem tracers: this allows to skip the 2nd call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER
1045        in gchem_forcing_sep.F
1046    o pkg/autodiff & obcs:
1047      - add storage of current OB values for U & V (was already done for T & S).
1048    
1049    checkpoint65c (2014/08/30)
1050    o pkg/dic:
1051      - take out of dic_atmos.F the initialisation part (corresponding to istate=0)
1052        and move it to new S/R DIC_INI_ATMOS ; also simplify the dependencies for
1053        AD compilers (but still a Pb with multi-threading and Ajoint dependencies).
1054    o verification:
1055      - new experiment testing OBCS and DIC pkgs, using params & output from
1056        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo but limited to a sub-domain around Drake
1057        passage: take OBCS from the last year of a 2 yrs simulation and initial
1058        conditions from t=1.yr while keeping the same forcing.
1059    o model/src:
1060      - when allowFreezing=T, only reset below freezing initial Temp to Tfreezing
1061        (at any k) if checkIniTemp is not set to FALSE (default checkIniTemp=T).
1062    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
1063      - re-write S/R DIAGSTATS_CALC (more similar to TARGET_NEC_SX part) to:
1064        a) refine region where stats are computed, excluding where arrhFac=0 ;
1065        b) fix missing interior mask (use with OBCS) in 3-D fields statistics;
1066        c) extend regional stats over the region edges (for U or V pt location).
1067    o pkg/gchem:
1068      - add a (2nd) call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER in gchem_forcing_sep.F (needed since
1069        pkg/dic is currently changing/updating ptracers values beyond the OB).
1070    o verification (hs94):
1071      - convert Held & Suarez external_forcing.F (from hs94.cs, with Sigma-coords
1072        bits) to apply_forcing.F and undef USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING in experiments
1073        hs94.cs-32x32x5 and tutorial_held_suarez_cs ; also use the same version of
1074        apply_forcing.F in 2D hs94 (fwd, ad & oad) but keep LatLon hs94 unchanged.
1075    o pkg/ptracers:
1076      - implement Adams-Bashforth on pTracers (instead of on tracer tendency),
1077        switched on by setting PTRACERS_doAB_onGpTr=F (default set to doAB_onGtGs)
1078      - change exp4 secondary test (input.nlfs) to test AB on T & S & pTracer
1079        with AB-2 code (so that it get tested).
1080    o model/src:
1081      - allow to apply Adams-Bashforth on Temp & Salt (instead of on gT,gS)
1082        with AB-2 code (previously only available with AB-3 code).
1083        Also move the code (call to ADAMS_BASHFORTH S/R) form thermodynamics.F
1084        to temp/salt_integrate.F (since the 2nd part of gt/sNm1 update is done
1085        there, by calling CYCLE_AB_TRACER).
1086    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1087      - change Tracer argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R GAD_CALC_RHS,
1088        GAD_C2_ADV_R, GAD_U3_ADV_R, GAD_C4_ADV_R, GAD_DIFF_R, GAD_BIHARM_R
1089        + also in GMREDI_X/Y/RTRANSPORT ; and update corresponding calls in
1090        S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
1091    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
1092      - remove common block variables gT,gS (in DYNVARS.h), except when
1093         USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING is defined; update TAF storage accordingly.
1094      - remove common block variable gPtr.
1095    o model/src & pkgs:
1096      - change gTracer (and/or tracer) argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R
1097         ADAMS_BASHFORTH(2&3), CYCLE_(AB_)TRACER, FREESURF_RESCALE_G,
1098         IMPLDIFF, SOLVE_TRIDIAGONAL & _PENTADIAGONAL, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
1099         GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_CALC_RHS, GAD_IMPLICIT_R, TIMEAVE_CUMUL_DIF_1T
1100      + change accordingly all calling S/R.
1101      - use local temperature/salinity/ptracer tendency array (without bi,bj)
1102        in S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
1103    o pkg/seaice:
1104      - move computation of stress contributions to rhsU/V in s/r seaice_lsr
1105        to separate s/r seaice_lsr_rhsu/v in order to be able to re-use code
1106      - make u/vIceC local variables if SEAICE_CGRID is defined only to be used
1107        in seaice_lsr
1108      - seaice_lsr.F: make local 4D arrays UXX, VYY, etc 2D
1109        in s/r seaice_lsr_calc_coeffs
1110    o pkg/mdsio:
1111      - in MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD, stop if file-name (+prefix) is too long
1112        (e.g., > MAX_LEN_MBUF -90 ) or, in INI_MODEL_IO, if mdsioLocalDir is
1113        too long (e.g., > MAX_LEN_FNAM/2 )
1114    
1115    checkpoint65b (2014/08/12)
1116    o pkg/matrix:
1117      - pass, as argument, updated tracer field to S/R MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP
1118    o model/src:
1119      - fix initialisation of geothermalFile; compile geothermal-flux code in
1120        natl_box verification experiment.
1121    o model/src & pkg/down_slope:
1122      - push the k loop inside S/R TIMESTEP_TRACER (now called outside the k loop).
1123      - in dwnslp_apply.F, update tracer tendency instead of the future tracer
1124        field and call S/R DWNSLP_APPLY before TIMESTEP_TRACER; this affects
1125        results at machine truncation level: update output of experiments
1126        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp (FWD) and lab_sea.noseaicedyn (AD).
1127    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
1128      - do not cumulate the full volume when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is
1129        called with bibjFlg < 0 (no increment of the counter for 2D/3D diag);
1130        This fix the mean statistics when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is called multiple
1131        times (but Min,Max and StD are still wrong).
1132    o model/src:
1133      - add geothermal flux forcing: read in ini_forcing.F as time-constant
1134        field "geothermalFlux" applied in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T (apply_forcing.F)
1135    o model/src:
1136      - move CYCLE_TRACER calls from tracers_correction_step.F to temp/salt/ptracer
1137        _integrate.F so that, when leaving S/R THERMODYANMICS, theta,salt and pTrac
1138        arrays are already updated while adjustments (filters, conv.adjustment) are
1139        still applied later, in S/R TRACERS_CORRECTION_STEP.
1140    o model/src:
1141      - store in common bloc array "rhoInSitu" the virtual potential temperature
1142        anomaly that is used to compute geopotential: this make the atmos code
1143        more similar to ocean code which already uses rhoInSitu in calc_phi_hyd.F
1144    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
1145      - rename integer variable ilcall to ipass (that's what it is called
1146        in the residual diagnostics
1147      - change time stepping for NPSEUDOTIMESTEP > 2 (does not change the
1148        default) for improved non-linear convergence of the first few steps
1149      - adjust a few comments and add new ones to explain some of the store
1150        directives
1151    o pkg/generic_advdiff (& ptracers):
1152      - re-work the code to check for valid advection scheme and for minimum
1153        size of overlap (now stored in local common bloc in gad_advscheme.F)
1154    o pkg/seaice: another attempt to make the adjoint work for sea ice dynamics
1155      - re-initialize more variables in seaice_lsr: u/vIceC, u/vIceNm1
1156      - add an auxilliary variable "bet" and fix store directives and keys in
1157        seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, this seems to do the trick (i.e. more or
1158        less exact gradients in my tests); but there are still
1159        recomputation warning (although gradients are sort of OK), when
1160        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE is not defined, so this flag and
1161        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA are recommended for efficiency.
1162      - update verification experiments lab_sea.
1163      - change some comments in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
1164    o model/src:
1165      - if staggerTimeStep=T, always apply exchange to velocity field in
1166        do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F instead of in do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F
1167        (independent of using multi-dim advection or not); no effect on FWD run
1168        but affects AD results (at machine truncation level): update output of
1169        experiment 1D_ocean_ice_column (ad: 12 digits), hs94.1x64x5 (ad,oad: 13.d)
1170        and isomip (oad: 12.d).
1171    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1172      - stop if doAB_onGtGs is set to FALSE but ignored
1173      - refine warning related to stability of tracer time-stepping
1174        regarding internal wave dynamics.
1175      - setting of AdamsBashforth_T,S when doAB_onGtGs=F: remove condition
1176        on staggerTimeStep & implicitIntGravWave (will now get a warning
1177        if potentially unstable).
1178    o pkg/kl10:
1179      - add new pkg "kl10" for mixing due to internal wave breaking, from
1180        http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1463500310000144
1181        (contribution from Jody Klymak), tested in verification experiment
1182        verification/internal_wave/input.kl10/
1183    o isomip experiment:
1184      - test pkg/shelfice with Non-Lin Free-Surf in one of the FWD set-up
1185        (input.htd) and update the output.
1186    o cd_code experiments:
1187      - use default cd_code options (#undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM &
1188        #undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_CORIOLIS) in experiments: cfc_example (fwd)
1189        global_ocean.90x40x15 (ad & oad) and OpenAD (ad & oad) and
1190        update the corresponding output.
1191    o pkg/seaice:
1192      - reduce the number of include files and store directives in
1193        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1194      - change the order of loops in one case in S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv
1195        (only for SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA defined), which allows me to
1196        get rid off one store directive (a TAF bug?)
1197      - add one more instance of ifdef SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in
1198        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv to change the loop range for consistency
1199      - remove ilcall, m from parameter list of S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1200      - fix a bug that affects the JFNK solver: replace sNx/y by i/jMax in
1201        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v (requires update of
1202        offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk)
1203    
1204    checkpoint65a (2014/07/27)
1205    o model/src:
1206      - Non-Lin Free-Surf in p/z coords: allows hFacW,S to be larger than
1207        surrounding hFacC=1 @ edge of a step with different kSurfC on either side
1208        (topo in p-coords, ice-shelf in z-coords); update output of experiments
1209        tutorial_global_oce_in_p and isomip (both AD and OpenAD output).
1210    o model/src:
1211      - collect momentum forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
1212        to apply_forcing S/R); this simplifies mom. Forcing diagnostics and CD_CODE
1213        parts in timestep.F (without CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM defined = the default);
1214        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., if using OBCS_SPONGE).
1215      - collect T & S forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument to
1216        apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for temp & salt forcing tendency.
1217        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., ocean: if using
1218        SHORTWAVE_HEATING ; atmos: if using FrictionHeating or (atm_Rq<>0) moist
1219        correction due to vertical advection).
1220      - update output of experiments: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (13 digits),
1221        global_ocean.cs32x15 (fwd: icedyn, seaice, thsice, all 3 @ 11d; adm & tml:
1222        seaice_dynmix & thsice, fwd grd @ 3 & 8), hs94.1x64x5 (ad grd @ 13),
1223        obcs_ctrl (ad & fwd grd @ 12 & 7).
1224    o pkg/ptracers & diagnostics:
1225      - use ptracers (short) name (instead of long one) to make ptracers diagnostics
1226        title (to avoid some unexpected truncation); sort out ptracers diags units.
1227      - collect ptracer forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
1228        to apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for ptracers forcing tendency.
1229    
1230    checkpoint65 (2014/07/18)
1231    o pkg/fizhi:
1232      - add parenthesis around fizhi tendencies in fizhi_tendency_apply.F: this
1233        affects results at machine truncation level. Update output of experiments
1234        fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (12 digits for cg2d) & fizhi-cs-aqualev20 (13 digits).
1235    o pkg/seaice: more clean up
1236      - rename TAF common block tapes to be more consistent and remove
1237        unnecessary duplicates
1238      - add store directives to remove more recomputations, but use smaller
1239        tapes (and adjust keys) when SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undefined.
1240        The idea behind this flag is to reduce the memory footprint when the
1241        adjoint of the LSR is not required. As of now, defining the flag
1242        SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER increases 4 common block tapes for 2D field by
1243        a factor of SOLV_MAX_FIXED (=500 by default in SEAICE_SIZE.h).
1244        For experiment offline_exf_seaice, this means on a linux box with gfortran
1245        nearly a factor of 10 (but keep in mind there is mostly seaice code in
1246        this experiment):
1247        > size mitgcmuv_ad
1248        text    data        bss     dec        hex
1249        5100659 1216  220458952  225560827  d71c8fb
1250        5339425 1200 1868783272 1874123897 6fb4dc79 (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
1251        but only a moderate increase of 36% for global_ocean.cs32x15:
1252        text    data        bss     dec        hex
1253        6695027 1648 1014578664 1021275339 3cdf6ccb
1254        6695203 1648 1382505320 1389202171 52cd8afb (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
1255      - note: there are still recomputations in global_ocean.cs32x15 and
1256        offline_exf_seaice and the gradient agreement changes (gets a
1257        little worse) for global_ocean.cs32x15 (-> update output_adm.seaice.txt)
1258      - in general, the AD gradients still are wrong
1259    o OpenAD
1260      - clean up code_oad/ directories somewhat by moving files
1261        dontCompile, dontTransform, keepOriginal to OAD_support/
1262    o model/src:
1263      - using MOM fluxform and Non-Lin Free-Surf with momDissip_In_AB=F
1264        (not currently tested): add dissipation terms before NLFS rescaling of
1265        tendencies (previously done after).
1266    o pkg/diagnostics:
1267      - write stats-diags in ascii file with more digits (same as in monitor).
1268    o pkg/down_slope:
1269      - drop the bi,bj dimension of argument recip_hFac in S/R DWNSLP_APPLY; with
1270        NLFS (not tested), use new recip_hFac value in order to conserve tracer.
1271    o model/src:
1272      - new file "apply_forcing.F" containing all the code previously in
1273        external_forcing.F, but with new argument list: pass, as new argument,
1274        the current level tendency array to update (instead of a direct update
1275        of the common bloc array). Change the corresponding calls.
1276      - add CPP option USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING (default is undef) to use
1277        EXTERNAL_FORCING_U,V,T,S subroutines (for backward compatibility).
1278    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr, a little bit of clean up
1279      - rearrange some code blocks, so that now all calculations for
1280        setting up the right-hand-sides done within one single block
1281        (I find that easier to read and understand)
1282      - rearrange freedrift-code to reduce the number of ifdefs
1283      - adjust some indentations and comments
1284    
1285    checkpoint64z (2014/07/10)
1286    o model/src and several pkgs:
1287      - change argument list of all S/R called from external_forcing.F and
1288        called from ptracers_forcing.F (renamed to ptracers_apply_forcing.F)
1289        to pass, as argument, the current level tendency array to update
1290        (instead of a direct update of the common bloc array).
1291      - change also (in the same way) argument list of PTRACERS_APPLY_FORCING;
1292      - rename taueddy_external_forcing.f to taueddy_tendency_apply.F
1293    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
1294      - always initialize local arrays in seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1295      - add more local tapes to seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1296      - move storing u/vice(:,:,bi,bj) out of seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, but
1297        keep it in bi/bj loop; this seems to be essential
1298      - gradients are still wrong but only by 4-7 orders of magnitude
1299        instead of 15 orders of magnitude, lab_sea improves a little
1300    o pkg/seaice
1301      - (pkg/autodiff) remove storing/restoring of seaiceMaskU/V that
1302        generates unnecessary code in seaice_lsr_ad
1303      - add more store directives in seaice_lsr to avoid unnecessary code
1304        in seaice_lsr_ad
1305      - exclude some residual computations in seaice_lsr when
1306        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC is defined in order to avoid unnecessary code
1307        in seaice_lsr_ad
1308      - add more storing, a new tape (model/src/the_main_loop.F) and
1309        another key for SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA (the local keys ilockey
1310        and klockey should be checked by a specialist)
1311      - modify ( define SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER )
1312        and update lab_sea after previous changes in pkg/seaice below
1313    o pkg/autodiff:
1314      - introduce useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode, SEAICEapproxLevInAd, and
1315        viscFacInAd : run time parameters allowing for adjoint switches
1316        note : logic for useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode is in ctrl_readparms.F
1317    o pkg/ecco:
1318      - introduce cost_gencost_boxmean.F that computes a box mean
1319        temperature (for use in adjoint sensitivity studies).
1320    o model/src/set_defaults.F : initialize viscFacAdj to 1.
1321    o pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_visc.F:
1322      - ifdef ALLOW_AUTODIFF then include viscFacAdj factor.
1323    o pkg/seaice/seaice_summary.F:
1324      - statement for SEAICEadjMODE now in autodiff_readparms.F
1325    o pkg/seaice:
1326      - remove some store directives and add new ones in an effort to get
1327        finally rid off the recomputation warnings. This is successful
1328        when SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR ***and*** SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER are
1329        defined (i.e. no extensive recomputation warnings left), but there
1330        are still too many recomputations on the solver iteration level
1331      - define SEAICE_VECTORISZE_LSR in offline_exf_seaice/code_ad/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
1332      - move definition of MPSEUDOTIMESTEPS into TAMC-block in
1333        SEAICE_SIZE.h
1334      - add a store directive in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
1335    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
1336      - fix definition of Hlimit for multi-threaded case
1337      - use double precision arithmetic to compute Hlimit: this affects results;
1338        update output of experiment seaice_itd.
1339    o replace content of verification/seaice_itd
1340      - instead of a 1D column use the configuration of offline_exf_seaice
1341        to test the ice thickness distribution code with ridging
1342      - this is a first shot at this experiment
1343      - change of some defaults of ridging parameters SEAICEhStar (from
1344        100 to 25) and SEAICEmuRidging (from 5 to 3) in seaice_readparms.F
1345        and lot of new comments.
1346    
1347    checkpoint64y (2014/06/20)
1348    o pkg/seaice/seaice_reg_ridge.F:
1349      - modify the regularization of very small volumes of ice; only check
1350        total volume HEFF, and do not apply correction to individual ice
1351        classes because that leads to funny patterns in the heat and fw-fluxes
1352        into the ocean. Adjust seaice_itd/results/output.txt
1353      - replace nITD by SEAICE_multDim in loop-ranges
1354    o pkg/exf:
1355      - add code to process the case field period = -12. with UV interpolation.
1356      - move debug print (formerly active when exf_verbose=T) from EXF_getFFieldRec
1357        into S/R that calls it (i.e., exf_set_gen.F, exf_set_uv.F & obcs_exf_load.F)
1358    o verification/global_with_exf:
1359      - switch all fields period to -12. (was previously untested) in input/data.exf
1360        (but keep secondary test ".yearly" unchanged); update the reference output.
1361    o pkg/cal:
1362      - new calendar type "noLeapYear" for 365 days calendar without any leap year.
1363    o pkg/exf:
1364      - new integer parameter "exf_debugLev" (default set to main model debugLevel)
1365        to replace logical switch "exf_verbose"
1366      - report in STDOUT when loading a new record (if exf_debugLev >= 3)
1367    o pkg/sbo:
1368      - update from Katherine Quinn: evaluate mass directly from density and SSH
1369        (budget using Finite Volume method) instead of from bottom pressure.
1370      - allow testreport to collect few selected SBO output ; tested in exp.
1371        global_ocean.90x40x15 (after updating the results, to include SBO output).
1372      - fix some multi-threading issues (in output part).
1373    o model/src & most packages:
1374      - always call {PKG}_READPARMS even if corresponding use{PKG}=F;
1375      - in {PKG}_READPARMS, in case use{PKG}=F: add a call to new S/R
1376        PACKAGES_UNUSED_MSG to print a weak warning when parameter file
1377        "data.{pkg}" exist ; and leave the S/R (return) just after.
1378      - more standard LAND pkg interface (land_init_fixed.F, land_check.F).
1379        + call LAND_READPARMS from packages_readparms.F
1380    o pkg/seaice:
1381      - remove code that resets useThSice in S/R seaice_readparms and
1382        replace it by a warning in S/R seaice_check
1383      - remove parameter MULTDIM, replace with nITD and runtime
1384        parameter SEAICE_multDim (still hard-wired to nITD if
1385        SEAICE_ITD is defined)
1386    
1387    checkpoint64x (2014/05/24)
1388    o verification/lab_sea:
1389      - update adjoint and TLM output following changes to pkg/salt_plume
1390      - un-do the update after putting back local recip_Cp in few places.
1391    o pkg/salt_plume: modifications by An Nguyen:
1392      - add capability to do brine rejection (salt-plume) as function of
1393        volume+tracers (instead of only salinity tracer).
1394      - conserve volume by exchanging volume from each kLev to above to
1395        accommodate in-coming brine volume
1396      - store surface and klev exchanged fraction + volume in 4 new 3-d arrays
1397      - switch KPP surf buoyancy due to brine forcing to 3-d
1398        (3 more 3-d arrays, 2 for SPforcing[T,S], 1 for boplume)
1399      - add salt_plume_volfrac, salt_plume_apply, salt_plume_tendency_apply_t
1400      - unrelatedly, also add ad-hoc capability to vary salt_plume scheme
1401        in East/West Arctic.
1402    o pkg/sbo:
1403      - incorporate modifications from Katherine Quinn to enable the use of sbo
1404        pkg in ECCO-v4 set-up ; remove SBO-TimeAve output ; add monitor-like
1405        output for future testreport verification (unfinished).
1406    o pkg/atm_phys:
1407      - change diagnostics (AtPh_Trf & AtPh_Qrf) of DARGAN_BETTSMILLER S/R:
1408        skip the reseting of t_ref & q_ref to initial t & q ; this preserve the
1409        output of S/R CAPECALCNEW (Parcel temp & q) for diagnostics.
1410    o pkg/seaice
1411      seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: modify expression to avoid divisions
1412        (affects truncation)
1413      seaice_do_ridging.F: clean up the insectarium
1414      - fix a bug that was compensated by areaScaling (-> remove areaScaling code)
1415      - added SEAICEsnowFracRidge to redistributed snow (2nd bug)
1416      - set closing/openingRate to zero where no extra iteration is need (3rd bug)
1417      - add some debugging information and error messages (warnings)
1418    o model/src: modifications relatd to atmosphere p*:
1419      - Switch to more accurate p* coordinate slope term (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F)
1420      - With p* or Sigma-P, use constant reference Pot.Temp (thetaConst) instead
1421        of vertical profile tRef in geopotential background and anomaly.
1422      - Acount for true p* correction in theta <-> T conversion in pkg/aim_v23
1423        and pkg/atm_phys.
1424      - Update FWD output of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
1425        fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, tutorial_held_suarez_cs, cpl_aim+ocn.
1426    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in seaice_prepare_ridging.F, forgot a sqrt
1427    o pkg/ptracers: compute ptracer source/sink due to linear free surface.
1428        not used right now, but can be used in BGC packages to fix conservation.
1429    o pkg/dic, pkg/gchem: move tracer_meanarea to gchem, so it can be used by
1430        other packages too.
1431    o pkg/seaice/seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: replace SEAICE_rhoSnow by
1432        SEAICE_rhoIce in the Rothrock (1975)-type strength calculations (bug fix)
1433    o model/src:
1434      - since we have several heat capacity (even in model/src), define "recip_Cp"
1435        as local variable (no longer in common block) to avoid any confusion.
1436      - add thetaConst in PARAMS.h (to be used with pStar or sigma-P coords).
1437    o pkg/exf:
1438      - from Jeff Scott: add option (#define EXF_CALC_ATMRHO) to calculate local
1439        air density as function of air Temp, Humidity and atm pressure.
1440    
1441    checkpoint64w (2014/05/02)
1442    o verification:
1443      - update output_adm.txt files for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15 (seaice &
1444        seaice_dynmix) and lab_sea (primary test & noseaicedyn): moving/changing
1445        code from seaice_growth.F & seaice_advdiff.F to new ridging routines
1446        seaice_reg_ridge.F seaice_do_ridging.F affects AD gradient
1447        (down to 8-7 matching digits for global_ocean and 5-6 for lab_sea).
1448    o model/src: for atmosphere in p* coords:
1449      - store factor rStarFacC**atm_kappa (= pStarFacK) in common block
1450      - implement more accurate p* coordinate slope term (in calc_grad_phi_hyd.F),
1451        but not yet activated.
1452    o pkg/seaice: fix restart problem for ITD with new ice strength parameterisation:
1453      - move computation of opnWtrFrac = 1-AREA to before computing ice strength
1454      - this changes the results (but not for any verification experiment, because
1455        none tests this), but avoids having an extra field in the restart files
1456    o pkg/seaice: remove global variable TICE (not needed)
1457      - replace by TICES or local variable where necessary (cost_seaice_test,
1458        seaice_diagnostics_state)
1459      - move copying TICE to TICES from seaice_check_pickup to seaice_read_pickup
1460      - use specific read/write routines for reading and writing individual leves
1461        of a multilevel field
1462    o pkg/ctrl & model/inc:
1463      - move additional anomaly fields of control vars (related to options:
1464         ALLOW_KAPGM_CONTROL, ALLOW_KAPREDI_CONTROL and ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL)
1465        from DYNVARS.h into new header file: CTRL_FIELDS.h
1466    o pkg/seaice: some small modifications to the ridging code
1467      - make fw2ObyRidge a global variable and add the freshwater flux to
1468        seaice_growth
1469      - pass actual thickness from seaice_prepare_ridging, so that it is
1470        computed only in one place and compute it in the same way as in
1471        seaice_growth
1472      - initialise more fields in seaice_do_ridging that where cause floating
1473        point exceptions over land
1474  o pkg/seaice: preparations for ridging code and first real ridging code  o pkg/seaice: preparations for ridging code and first real ridging code
1475    - move most of "PART 1" of S/R seaice_growth into a new and separate    - move most of "PART 1" of S/R seaice_growth into a new and separate
