5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7  o modifications to make FREEZE flux visible to pkg/kpp  o pkg/flt:
8     - improve criteria for finding which tile owns a float.
9     - fix FLT_EXCH for case without MPI ; apply cyclic BC + fix also the MPI case.
10    o Add well-mixed CO2 box in aim_v23 (which includes changes in pkg
11      aim_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf, gchem, and dic to get coupling
12      with ocean biogeo)
13    o pkg/flt:
14     - do some cleaning and fix the restart ;
15     - add output.txt in flt_example/results to get this pkg tested.
16    o genmake2: add an EXTENDED_SRC option and flag.
17       for now, cannot be turned on on command line (only through genmake_local)
18    o pkg/mdsio: read/write vector:
19     - singleCpuIO: fix RL/RS in MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_BUFFERtoRL/RS
20     - singleCpuIO=F: fix arrType & filePrec & _BYTESWAPIO in both MDSREADVECTOR
21       & MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_RD/WR_VEC_RL/RS.
22     - affects gradient of test-exp "bottom_ctrl_5x5" (not due to _BYTESWAPIO)
23      (drop to 4 digits matching for grad). But this test does not look very
24      reliable (was already failling on eddy, fc5, at 6.digits). Update output.
25    
26    checkpoint61g
27    o pkg/flt:
28      - move FLT_CPPOPTIONS.h to FLT_OPTIONS.h (standard name)
29       + make OPTIONS file more standard.
30      - rename S/R MDSREADVECTOR_FLT to FLT_MDSREADVECTOR (to mach src file name)
31      - fix _BYTESWAPIO CPP-Flag
32      - standard reading of file-parameter "data.flt"
33      - fix argument list of S/R FLT_RESTART
34      still need to fix _BYTESWAPIO in pkg/mdsio/mdsio_writevector.F
35    o pkg/obcs: fix a CPP-flag, bug reported by Jeff Blundell
36    o gather_2d.F/scatter_2d.F: suppress vectorisation on NEC SX in respond to
37      a still unfixed compiler/optimization bug
38    
39    checkpoint61f
40    o pkg/seaice, LSR solver: fix bug in GLOBAL_MAX calls ;
41      update results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn test.
42    o move getcon.F from model/src to pkg/fizhi.
43    o pkg/exf: add parameter for extrapolation of temp up to the surface
44       and option to prevent negative evap (in bulk_largeyeager04 only).
45    o Prather Advection scheme: fix tracer conservation for divergent flow
46      (e.g., when using NonLin Free-Surface).
47    o kpp: retire KPPmld diagnostics --> use MXLDEPTH instead
48    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
49     - add more parameters to Visbeck-variable-K.
50     - use a 5 points average for dSigmaR in Visbeck-K calculation
51       (more "homogenous": same stencil and same weights as in dSigmaH)
52     - update output of ideal_2D_oce experiment.
53    o fix CPP-flag REAL4_IS_SLOW, when _RS expands into real*4
54      (#undef REAL4_IS_SLOW)
55     - pkg/mnc/mnc_cw_cvars.F: write _RS-grid variable as netcdf-real*4
56       coordinate variable
57     - pkg/monitor/monitor.F: call mon_printstats_rs for _RS variables
58       (surface forcing fields), removes some of the functionality
59     - model/src/write_grid.F: write _RS variables as RS-netcdf variables
60     - model/src/diags_oceanic_surf_flux.F: fix a few diagnostics, but
61       probably not all: copy _RS surface flux fields to RL field before
62       calling DIAGNOSTICS_FILL
63     - model/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h: make the _EXCH_*_RS macros expand into
64       real*4 (CALL EXCH_*_RS) versions.
65     - tested in 2 experiments: inverted_barometer & solid-body.cs-32x32x1
66       (generate new output).
67    
68    checkpoint61e
69    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
70      - fix the "OLD_VISBECK_CALC" option + move the #undef to GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
71      - change computation of Visbeck-K where Slope > Smax :        
72        now: N*min(Slope,Smax) (similar to OLD_VISBECK_CALC with gkw91 taperFct)
73        previously was: M*sqrt(min(Slope,Smax)) ; update ideal_2D_oce output.
74    o bottom-drag in P-coord.: change units of bottomDragLinear & bottomDragQuadratic
75      to be the same as with Z-coord. (i.e., m/s & no-units respectively).
76    o calc_viscosity: fix index range (was wrong for CD-Scheme & explicit Visc)
77    o pkg gmredi, linear & fm07 tapering: put an upper limit on Slope^2 so that Kwz
78      does not become too large (to avoid precision problems in implicit-diffusion
79      solver); update ideal_2D_oce output.
80    o pkg ggl90:
81      - in ggl90_cal.F: compute only one set of visc/diff, used to
82        step forward TKE/T/S/momentum
83      - default value of GGL90viscMax/GGL90diffMax larger and equal (to
84        have Prandlt =1)
85    o gmredi (fm07):
86      - add lower limit on Transition layer thickness + lower limit on 1/lambda
87      - allow to set few more params from data.gmredi
88    o pkg ggl90:
89          - add missing sqrt(2) factor in computation of mixing length
90            scale in ggl90_calc.F
91            (see Eq. (2.35) in Blanke and Delecluse, JPO, 1993)
92    
93    checkpoint61d
94    o adjoint modifs
95      - adapt to new field rhoInSitu
96      - allow to revert from StoreDynVars2D, StoreDynVars3D
97        to individual fields
98        (switches AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_2D, AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_3D)
99    o store 3-D (in-situ) density in commom block (DYNVARS.h)
100     - save 1 rho computation.
101     - no longer modify T & S inland when using down_slope pkg.
102    o gad_som : allow to switch to SOM advection for T & S without corresponding
103      pickup files (using new S/R: MDS_CHECK4FILE).
104    o keep removing _BEGIN/_END_MASTER between MDSIO S/R call
105      (for useSingleCpuIO to work in multi-threaded)
106    o pkg/shelfice:
107     - disentangle parameters: retire shelfIceFile in data/PARM05 and substitute
108       with SHELFICEtopoFile in data.shelfice
109     - move code for reading ice shelf topography and modifying hFacC into separate
110       subroutines of the shelfice package
111     - separate initialisation of "fixed" and "variable" variables
112     - kTopC is not (yet) replaced by kSurfC, although this is possible
113    o fix broken diagnostic SIatmFW and changed the units from m/s to kg/m^2/s
114    o add initialisation of deepFac if using Pcoords (new S/R set_grid_factors)
115      and rename:
116      ini_phiref.F          --> set_ref_state.F  (+ set anelastic factors)
117      ini_reference_state.F --> load_ref_files.F (- set anelastic factors)
118    o change FIND_RHO_SCALAR : return rho (instead of rho - rhoConst)
119    
120    checkpoint61c
121    o add option ALLOW_ADDFLUID and run-time selector "selectAddFluid"
122      to add mass source/sink of fluid in the interior (3-D generalisation
123      of oceanic real-fresh water flux).
124    o pkg/monitor: fix recip_dr argument in mon_advcflw2 call (-> advcfl_W_hf_max)
125    o vermix test experiment: switch from LINEAR EOS to MDJWF (not tested before)
126    o new pkg: down_slope
127      density-driven downsloping flow parameterisation (Tellus, 1999, 412-430).
128      - presently, modify T & S inland (dwnslp_calc_rho.F).
129        can be avoided if rho was stored in common bloc and used in calc_phi_hyd.
130      - implementation for ocean in P-coords not tested.
131      - add secondary test to global_ocean.90x40x15 (input.dwnslp) to check this pkg.
132    o move kSurfC,kSurfW & kSurfS from SURFACE.h to GRID.h (next to kLowC)
133      (to facilitate conversion of oceanic pkg to p-coordinate).
134    o change FIND_RHO to FIND_RHO_2D :
135      pass arguments tFld & sFld as local (tile) 2D-arrays ; +fix EOS_CHECK.
136    o new pkg: cheapaml
137    
138    checkpoint61b
139    o exch2:
140      change index bounds in rx2_cube exchanges (new S/R: EXCH2_GET_UV_BOUNDS)
141      - no longer depend on the order sequence (N,S,E,W).
142      - 3rd exchange no longer needed (tested with 24 tiles).
143      - same modif to hand-written adjoint S/R (global_ocean.cs32x15: zero diff)
144      - exch_UV_A-grid readily available (but not yet tested).
145      comment out 3rd exch call and remove copy of V to U at SE & NE face-corners
146      (both are no longer needed) in exch_uv: no effect in forward run; but
147       get truncation error differences with adjoint exch.
148    o exch2:
149     - change index-bounds storage (moved from target to local tile,
150       more intuitive this way) ; rename/remove some variables.
151     - change utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator & code_mods accordingly.
152    
153    checkpoint61a
154    o exch2/matlab-topology-generator:
155      fix bug in index bounds for N-S internal exchange (hard to tell if this
156      had any effect on the solution).
157    o pkg/mnc: small fix in mnc_handle_err: make sure that length of msgbuf
158      is exceeded
159    o testreport: modify syntax of awk, so that it works also with
160      awk, and not only with nawk and gawk
161    
162    checkpoint61
163    o autodiff
164      Change default for TAF usage by removing argument '-nonew_arg'
165      This changes TAF subroutine argument list (ordering of active var.)
166      Omission of this flag leads to incompatibility w.r.t. TAMC
167      To restore TAMC-compatibility, need following modifs:
168      * use adoptfile tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_tamc_compatibility
169      * use CPP option #define AUTODIFF_TAMC_COMPATIBILITY
170      Tested TAF version is 1.9.22
171      N.B.: exch2 hand-written adjoint code currently not TAMC compatible
172    
173    checkpoint60
174    --->>> This is the last checkpoint for which generating the adjoint
175    --->>> is done via the TAMC-compatibility TAF-flag "-nonewarg"
176    --->>> by default.
177    --->>> Future checkpoints will ommit this flag by default.
178    o pkg/generic_advdiff, os7mp: simplify and avoid division by zero.
179    o pkg/grdchk: Add gradient check to etan0 perturbations.
180    o pkg/exf: read ice area from file (#ifdef ALLOW_ICE_AREAMASK).
181    o pkg/autodiff: more flexibility in zeroadj.
182      model/src: modifying do_oceanic_phys.F accordingly.
183    o pkg/ctrl: Bounds for (kapgm,kapredi,eddypsi) parameter estimation.
184    o model/src and pkg/gmredi: GMREDI_WITH_STABLE_ADJOINT CPP option
185      special setup of gmredi for which the adjoint is stable
186      enough for parameter optimization.
187    o bridging the gap between eddy stress and GM.
188      -> eddyTau is replaced with eddyPsi (eddyTau = f x rho0 x eddyPsi)
189          along with a change in CPP option (now ALLOW_EDDYPSI).
190      -> when using GM w/ GM_AdvForm:
191          The total eddy streamfunction (Psi = eddyPsi + K x Slope)
192          is applied either in the tracer Eq. or in momentum Eq.
193          depending on data.gmredi (intro. GM_InMomAsStress).
194      -> ALLOW_EDDYPSI_CONTROL for estimation purpose.
195      The key modifications are in model/src/taueddy_external_forcing.F
196      pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_*F pkg/gmredi/gmredi_*transport.F
197    
198    checkpoint59r
199    o new S/R (pkg/mdsio/mdsio_facef_read.F) reading of sNx+1 x sNy+1 array
200      from per-face file (take S/R READSYMTILE_RS out of ini_curvilinear_grid.F);
201      fix option to read coriolis(@ cell-corner) from files with CS-grid.
202    o pkg/mnc: add some attributes to standard 1D-coordinate variables
203    o pkg/diagnostics: enforce missing_value attribute for scalar variables at
204      mass points, when using mnc for output
205      - add runtime parameter (missing_value, missing_value_int) to override
206        default (which is the value of getcon('UNDEF'))
207    o pkg/mnc: prepare mnc for the actual use of missing values with the
208      diagnostics package: small fix in mnc_cw_readwrite.template and more
209      initialisation of never used fields
210      - replace mnc_common.h and mnc_id_header.h with corresponding upper case
211      versions
212    o pkg/thsice/thsice_ini_vars.F added default initial values so that
213      thermodynamics sea ice solver does not blow up when some initial fields
214      are missing.
215    o move from external_forcing_surf.F to ini_forcing.F
216      the p-coord. hack consisting in using pLoad to set phi0surf ;
217      update output of tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
218    o Freshen up a bit hs94.1x64x5, notably:
219      remove rotationPeriod and tRef=5*0. (adjoint only), and add
220      exactConserv=.TRUE.
221    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
222      change option GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT to GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV which only
223      applies to files where Temperature & Salinity 2nd Order moments are used.
224    o pkg/ptracers: add second-order moment advection schemes (80 and 81);
225      this uses a dynamically allocated internal state data structure
226      (#define PTRACERS_ALLOW_DYN_STATE in PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h)
227      and requires a fortran 90 compiler
228    
229    checkpoint59q
230    o pkg/mom_vecinv: Add energy & enstrophy conserving scheme (selectVortScheme=3)
231       (from Sadourny, described by Burridge & Haseler, ECMWF Rep.4, 1977)
232    o Refresh tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, notably:
233      - change bathymetry (put back seamounts in ACC, use hFacs)
234      - change EOS (POLY3 --> JMD95Z)
235      - use Bryan-Lewis vertical diffusivity
236      - use multidimensional advection
237      - remove old virtual virtual in dic pkg, now done through ptracer pkg
238      - change a couple of parameters in dic pkg
239    o pkg/ctrl: change formula in adctrl_bound.F and add a parameter to ctrl_map_ini_gen.F
240    o pkg/obcs: change default to OBCSfixTopo = .true.,
241      - set OBCSfixTopo=.false. in exp4/input/data.obcs to reproduce old result
242      - replace "debugMode" with "debugLevel .GE. debLevB"
243    o implementation of TAF directives for gchem,cfc,dic
244    o remove "exp5" (replaced by tutorial_deep_convection).
245    o pkg/obcs: add code to fix topography gradients normal to open boundaries;
246      this requires computing the index fields OB_Jn/Js/Ie/Iw in obcs_readparms;
247      the code can be turned on by setting OBCSfixTopo = .true. in data.obcs
248      --> changes results in exp4, seaice_obcs
249    o tutorial_deep_convection :
250      update the set-up and increase resolution and domain size ; start
251      from pseudo initial conditions = output at t=120mn in order to see
252      something happening when running testreport.
253    o pkg/seaice: add os7mp as an advection scheme
254                  add check for advection schemes
255                  add a flag for restoring T and S underneath sea ice
256    o pkg/my82: add netcdf-support and diagnostics
257    o thsice pkg:
258      - Now hsMax limits snow height by turning it into ice following
259        flooding scheme (and now conserving energy)
260      - Slight rewriting of the formula in thsice_calc_thick.F
261      - Parameter rhowi eliminated to be replaced by floodFac = (rhosw-rhoi)/rhos
262      --> changes results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn and global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
263    
264    checkpoint59p
265    o gchem / dic / cfc :
266      - add useDIC, useCFC , read from "data.gchem" (& hold in GCHEM.h);
267      - add new parameter files: "data.dic" & "data.cfc" ;
268      - various re-arrangement in initialisation & header file ;
269      - fix tutorial_global_oce_biogeo for multi-threaded test.
270    o pkg/dic: test for "pickup_dic" file when restarting ;
271      if no pickup-file, can restart with a re-initialised pH (same as it did
272      before) providing pickupStrictlyMatch is set to False.
273    o change argument list of S/R PTRACERS_WRITE_PICKUP & MYPACKAGE_WRITE_PICKUP
274      + fix call to S/R GGL90_WRITE_PICKUP & DIC_WRITE_PICKUP
275    o add a "warning" (to Error msg file) when an Active Tracer is not using AB-2
276      and staggerTimeStep is off (needed for stability of Internal-wave dynamics).
277    o move out of PARAMS.h & data the last pieces of old-ptracer code: tauTr1ClimRelax,
278     & lambdaTr1ClimRelax ; put those 2 params in PTRACERS_PARAMS.h & data.ptracers
279       (note: not clear to me what lambdaTr1ClimRelax is still used for ...)
280    o pkg/mom_vecinv: - new parameter "selectVortScheme" to select which
281       scheme to use for vorticty-term ;
282     - compute upwindVorticity=T case within mom_vi_u/v_coriolis_c4.F
283       (with default selectVortScheme, return to original discretisation)
284     - remove weird combination (e.g.: upwindVorticity & highOrderVorticity)
285    o pkg/seaice: add a line to the summary to indicate grid type (B/C)
286    o in mom_calc_visc, fix average value of viscAh_W & viscA4_W next to the
287      bottom ; only used with variable horizontal viscosity and non-hydrostatic.
288      also fix diagnostics VISCAHW & VISCA4W.
289    
290    checkpoint59o
291    o dome/code/obcs_calc.F: avoid division by zero (detected using gfortran).
292    o change the loop ordering in most gad_*_adv_x.F to improve vectorization:
293      move a few statemens out the main loop into separate loops
294    o pkg/shelfice:
295      - sort out freshwater flux; convert freshwater fluxes to mass fluxes
296        (kg/m^2/s), does not break tests, because in verification/isomip,
297        rhoConstFresh=rhoConst (by accident)
298      - rearrange computation of tLoc, sLoc, pLoc to make code more efficient
299      - move S/R find_rho_scalar, pkg/ecco/sw_ptmp.F, pkg/ecco/sw_adtg.F into
300        new file model/src/seawater.F, so that they are available for all pkgs.
301      - convert potential temperature into in-situ temperature. This changes the
302        isomip tests => update tests
303    o add a flag writePickupAtEnd (default=true) to be able to suppress
304      writing a pickup at the last timestep
305    o tools/mpack-1.6 :
306      - disable automake (not working) and autoconf (not needed).
307      - update to version 1.6.4 which fix MD5 code on some 64 bits platforms
308        also cleaner with much less compilation warnings.
309    o pkg/profiles:
310      rename profiles_interp_mean_genericgrid as profiles_interp_mean_gg
311      (for "less than 32 characters name" compiler requirement)
312    o pkg/obcs and pkg/exf: added capability to specify seaice open boundary
313      conditions that have a different sampling frequency than S/T/U/V obcs
314    o pkg/diagnostics (stats-diags):
315      - fix global Min/Max in case 1 processor get only empty tiles
316    o genmake2: replace (4 times)
317         make genmake_tc_1.o >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
318      with
319         COMM="$CC $CFLAGS -c genmake_tc_1.c"
320         echo $COMM >> genmake_warnings
321         $COMM >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
322      to make genmake2 always see the value of CC as specified in the optfile.
323    o generic_advdiff: - prather advection scheme (SOM) coded for CS-grid.
324      - add diagnostics for 1srt & 2nd Order moments and sub-grid variance.
325      - modify verification advect_cs test to test SOM-advection on CS-grid.
326    o pkg/ctrl:
327      - Rewrite of ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F,
328        introducing a generic routine (ctrl_map_ini_gen.F).
329      - Modification of ctrl_bound/adctrl_bound handling control vector bounds.
330    
331    checkpoint59n
332    o pkg/diagnostics: for large number of diagnostics, store diagnostic mate
333      number in dedicate array "hdiag":
334      - new version of S/R DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST : DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST
335        with 1 more argument (mate number); modify old version DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST.
336      - many small changes (integer format) for large number of diagnostics
337      - start to use DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST (necessary for diagnostics with
338        a counter mate) in pkg diagnostics, ptracers, thsice & aim_v23.
339    o add parameter rotateGrid and Euler angles EulerPhi/Theta/Psi. For
340      usingSphericalGrid, this allows to define the rotated grid coordinates
341      via phiMin/thetaMin/dxSpacing/dySpacing, etc., but then re-compute the
342      geographical coordinates according to the inverse of the rotation defined
343      by the Euler angles, so that Coriolis parameter and online-interpolation by
344      exf works with the geographical coordinates on XC/YC/XG/YG.
345      Naturally, this feature does not work with all packages, so some
346      combinations are prohibited in config_summary (flt, flt_zonal, ecco,
347      profiles), because there the coordinates are assumed to be regular
348      spherical grid coordinates.
349    o pkg/gmredi,ctrl,ecco,autodiff,grdchk and model/src,inc:
350      - introduce isopycnal diffusion coefficient control.
351    o tools/adjoint_options:
352      - additional control vector components.
353    o pkg/mnc: have mnc create marginally meaning full coordinate variables
354      (that is the grid indices) if usingCurvilinearGrid and NOT EXCH2
355    o pkg/mypackage:
356      - add example of read/write pickup for state-var ;
357      - add entry points to the main code for state-vars diags & write-pickup.
358    o pkg/exf: rewrite of exf_getffieldrec.F to properly deal with year
359      transitions for useExfYearlyFields
360      - add new subroutine that determines the file to read from for
361        use*YearlyFields = .TRUE. and .FALSE.
362      - add a verification experiment to global_with_exf that tests
363        useExfYearlyFields with USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION defined
364    o pkg/obcs/exf: add useOBCSYearlyFields (=.FALSE.) to obcs with exf in
365      analogy to useExfYearlyFields; rearrange obcs_prescribe_read: two new
366      subroutines (which could be generated from a template, because they are
367      almost identical), for now they are included in obcs_prescribe_read.F for
368      simplicity
369    o pkg/exf:
370      - add a little more diagnostic to exf_interp_read (in analogy to
371        mds_read_field, can be turned off with debugLevel < debugLevA=1)
372      - improve vectorizability of exf_interp for TARGET_NEC_SX, makes code
373        ugly but fast by unrolling short inner loops, inserting a unroll=8
374        directive in routine lagran, and splitting a loop and making do while the
375        outermost loop (the latter requires the intoduction of index arrays)
376    o pkg/obcs: replace obcs_apply_area/heff/hsalt/hsnow with obcs_apply_seaice
377    o pkg/seaice: moved DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE from seaice_model to seaice_dynsolver
378      http://forge.csail.mit.edu/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2008-January/003173.html
379    o verification/seaice_obcs: updated for restart test and latest options
380    o pkg/seaice: add a new flag SEAICEuseTEM to use a slightly different
381      ice rheology (so-called truncated ellipse, that gets rid of tensile stress);
382      for now this is only available for the C-grid code and also within
383      #ifdef SEAICE_ALLOW_TEM, because this option may slow down the EVP code
384    
385    checkpoint59m
386    o pkg/seaice: use different time constant for melting (SEAICE_gamma_t)
387      and freezing (SEAICE_gamma_t_frz) ice due to mixed layer temperature
388    o gad_som : fix flux output (& diagnostics) to have same units as other  
389      advection scheme fluxes (was previously multiplied by deltaT).  
390    o added verification/seaice_obcs both to test seaice open boundaries
391      and to provide an example matlab scrpt for generating them
392    o added verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume for testing pkg/salt_plume
393    o pkg/salt_plume: clean up salt_plume_frac.F to
394      remove redundancy in PlumeMethod 1 and 4
395    o pkg/kpp: added saltplume diagnostics
396    o pkg/obcs and pkg/seaice:
397      - do not set uice and vice to zero when OB*icefile are unspecified
398      - OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE is undefined by default
399      - moved seaice tracer obcs after call to seaice_growth
400    o pkg/salt_plume: added various options for salt plume depth
401      criterion and for vertical distribution of the salt
402    
403    checkpoint59l
404    o pkg/ptracers: new version of ptracers pickup:
405      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
406      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
407    o pkg/seaice:
408      - add timescale for melting due to warm mixed layer as a means of
409        setting SEAICE_availHeatFrac more conveniently
410      - add a CPP-flag/runtime parameter check for flooding algorithm
411      - reformulated availHeat in seaice_growth.F to be independent of AREA
412    o change units attribute of EmPmR netcdf variables to kg/m^2/s to reflect recent
413      unit changes
414    o pkg/obcs: added OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE constraint
415    o cg2d.F: add 3 compiler directives that speed up this routine by 30% on a NEC
416      SX vector computer.
417    o pkg/seaice:
418      - removed SEAICE_FFIELDS.h and seaice_get_forcing.F
419        seaice forcing fields can now be read only through pkg/exf
420      - removed some unused halos
421    o no longer write pickup from THE_MODEL_MAIN but always from FORWARD_STEP
422    o pkg/exf: added useRelativeWind EXF_PARAM.h option for subtracting U/VVEL
423      or U/VICE from U/VWIND before computing U/VSTRESS
424    
425    checkpoint59k
426    o pkg/seaice: ICE2WATR=SEAICE_rhoIce/rhoConst for consistency between
427      dynamics and thermodynamics. Set ICE2WATR=0.92 to reproduce older results.
428    o fix un-initialised variable problem (in mom_vecinv & shap_filt):
429      all experiments pass when compile with un-initialised var. checking option.
430    o added pkg/salt_plume
431    o script to test restart (for now, in MITgcm_contrib/jmc_script)
432    o pkg/seaice: new read/write pickup version.
433      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
434      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
435    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in seaice_ocean_stress (call of seaice_calc_strainrates)
436    o lab_sea.hb87: modify the domain & update output.hb87.txt :
437      lat-long grid & no-slip BC in seaice-dynamics produce different sigma12
438      at j=1 & j=Ny+1 : this case is not treated correctly in the restart
439      process. Fixed here by closing the domain at the Northern boundary.
440    o pkg/rw: cleaning-up: call directly new MDSIO S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD.
441    o pkg/mdsio: add new arguments to MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD for reading/writing
442      a set of consecutive levels in/from a 3-D array.
443    o pkg/ptracers:
444      use a 2 characters string ioLabel to identify tracer (if more than 99 tracers).
445      to-do: fix pkg/diagnostics when large number of diagnostics are defined.
446    
447    checkpoint59j
448    o in pkgs: dic, obcs, offline, rbcs:
449      standard way to compute coeff. for time interpolation between 2 time reccords
450      which retains full precision (& make results less dependent on compiler).
451      update output of exp: tutorial_cfc_offline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
452    o pkg/cfc: if compiled with exf and seaice, cfc now can use fields from those
453      packages instead of reading ice cover and wind speed separately
454    o split PTRACERS.h in 2 header files: PTRACERS_FIELDS.h & PTRACERS_PARAMS.h
455     (keep a temporary version of PTRACERS.h in verification/OpenAD/code_ad_openad
456      to allow to compile customized code before the update)
457    o cleaning-up:
458      - fix CPP instruction syntax in pkg/obcs
459      - replace (some) call to MDSIO S/R with call to RW interface S/R ; and
460        add #ifdef ALLOW_MDSIO elsewhere (allows to compile without pkg/mdsio)
461      - fix some threads issue in IO parts.
462    o pkg/dic:
463      - add tons of "_d 0" (--> much better testreports !)
464       and then update outputs of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
465    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
466      add a special version of momentum advection intended to conserve momentum
467      next to a bathymetry step or a coastline edge. (default = off = #undef)
468    o new read/write pickup version:
469      - for now, only implemented for main (mdsio) pickup file.
470      - write out only what is needed to restart; merge pickup_nh , pickup_ph
471        and main pickup together.
472      - read meta file; read only what is needed to restart; stop if a field
473        is missing (if pickupStrictlyMatch=T, = the default) or try to restart
474        if it make sense (even if the restart is not perfect).
475      - if no meta file, assume that pickup to read corresponds exactly to
476        a pickup that would currently be written.
477      - read pickup written in the old format (until checkpoint59i) if it
478        recognizes an old meta file (no field-list).
479      - add a meta file in exp. which starts from a pickup: 2 cases:
480        a) minimal meta file (with just file precision) + pickupStrictlyMatch=F
481         e.g.: global_ocean.90x40x15/input/pickup.0000036000.meta
482        b) a meta file describing the content of the associated pickup file
483         e.g.: tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/input/pickup.0004248000.meta
484    o pkg/mdsio & pkg/rw:
485      - new routine to read a meta file ; new set of routine to read
486        Multiple-fields file (with meta file).
487    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice
488        HSNOW, HSALT, UICE, and VICE
489    
490    checkpoint59i
491    o adjoint:
492      * fix multiDimAdvection adjoint
493        (partial recomputation problem by TAF for fVerT(:,:,kDown)
494        and comlev1 size definition (maxpass vs. max. number of tracers)
495      * verification/global_ocean.90x45x15 adjoint now tests
496        NLFS and multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
497      * verification/lab_sea now tests multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
498    o pkg/kpp: add "_d 0" to real constant (if missing);
499      update output of exp: natl_box (10.digits); vermix (std, 7.digits)
500      and lab_sea, 3.FW (only 6,4,6 digits match) & AD (8.digits).
501    o prepare for "clever pickup" implementation: add new header file "RESTART.h"
502      for internal parameters related to restart process (formerly from PARAMS.h)
503      and add startAB parameter to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
504    o more standard interface to {PKG}_WRITE_PICKUP with pickup suffix passed
505      as argument. (only atm2d & obcs write_pickup have not yet been updated)
506    o pkg/monitor:
507      - use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE instead of _GLOBAL_SUM
508      - fix mon_stats_rs (statistics over the full domain, even where field is zero)
509      - account for deep Atmosphere factor and density factor (anelastic)
510    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice HEFF and AREA
511    o pkg/shelfice: add option for convservative form of Hellmer&Olbers (1989)
512      thermodynamics
513      - requires a little reorganization, which affects the testreport results
514        of isomip.htd (only 7 digits of cg2d agree) => update/modify experiment,
515        so that now the conservative form is tested
516      - add a few comments
517    o add missing cvs Header: or Name: in eesupp/*, pkg/* & verification/code*
518    o add a little bit of code to gad_os7mp_adv_?.F to help vectorization
519    o add new diagnostics to seaice: advective, diffusive fluxes (only for
520      multidim-advection, for scheme 2 they are not filled) and transports,
521      thermodynamic growth rates
522    o change units of EmPmR (inside the code, + within coupling interface)
523      from m/s to kg/m2/s (mass flux) but leave input file unchanged.
524      Affects results @ truncation level (cg2d match) and update output of
525       experiments: lab_sea(6), global_ocean.90x40x15(10),
526      global_ocean.cs32x15(11x3,10), natl_box(11), tutorial_global_oce_latlon(11)
527      + adjoint results: global_ocean_ebm(11) and lab_sea (12).
528      Coupled set-up: allow to restart from previous pickups (cpl_oldPickup=T).
529      Next: will retire convertEmP2rUnit (simply using mass2rUnit instead).
530    
531    checkpoint59h
532    o pkg/exf:
533      - improve vectorization by moving if-statement out of loops in
534        exf_mapfields, exf_radiation
535      - exf_bulkformulae.F: introduce 2D fields and vectorize code
536    o pkg/kpp: added the salt plume scheme (ALLOW_SALT_PLUME) to KPP package
537    o testreport:
538      - allow to test for Qnet & SeaIce monitor output; clean-up ALLOW_BULK_OFFLINE
539        monitor & update offline_exf_seaice exp. output.
540      - AD testing: pass/FAIL according to Grad. output accuracy (instead of Cost)
541    o pkg/seaice:
542      - bug fix in the evp solver: boundary conditions were affected be
543        masking of zMax/zMin (changes results)
544      - minor bug fix in boundary conditions in seaice_calc_strainrates
545        (changes results for no_slip)
546      - seaice_lsr.F: make interpolation of eta dependent on boundaries
547      - replace hardcoded lower limit for zeta (zMin) by runtime parameter
548      - add a test to lab_sea, that tests the Hibler and Bryan (1987) ocean
549        stress formulation and no-slip boundary conditions
550    o pkg/ptracers: Temporary fix for PTRACERS_useGMRedi & PTRACERS_useKPP
551      in gad_calc_rhs.F ; add few safety stops in initialisation phase.
552    o pkg/seaice: a first HSALT time stepping equation has been checked in
553    o pkg/seaice: replaced maskW with seaiceMaskU and maskS with seaiceMaskV
554      in seaice_lsr.F; this solves the pkg/seaice-pkg/obcs problem
555      without requiring DO-IF statements
556    o pkg/thsice:
557      use continuous power-law function for partition of energy between lateral
558      melting/freezing and thinning/thickening ; old code using step function
559      still available with #undef THSICE_FRACEN_POWERLAW
560      update output of exp: aim.5l_cs.thSI, global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn & .thsice
561    o testreport: change AD testing : check against results/output_adm.txt
562      using same scripts as for forward test.
563    
564    checkpoint59g
565    o adjoint testing: in preparation for changing testreport:
566      - output format: cost and grad written on separated lines
567      - ad output results in directory "results" (instead of "results_ad")
568    o pkg/seaice: adding ice salinity HSALT as a prognostic variable
569    o pkg/seaice: changes for using pkg/seaice with pkg/obcs
570    o pkg/ecco: allow user defined cost function contributions
571    o testreport:
572      Allow to choose (per experiment) the list of tested output variables
573       and the main variable (used to issue a pass/FAIL ) ;
574      - for now, done by adding the specific list in file: [exp]/input/tr_checklist
575      - default is unchanged: >cg2d< , (T,S,U,V,5 tracers)_[min,max,mean,StD] ;
576      Also modify printing of summary:
577       a) ">" NN "<" indicates the "main" variable (used for pass/FAIL)
578       b) echo the list of tested variables in the individual summary.txt of
579          each experiment.
580    o new S/R GLOBAL_SUM_TILE to compute global sum independently of number of
581      threads and number of processes (with #define GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV)
582      (but still depend on the tile decompostion of the domain).
583    o pkg/seaice: change a discretization detail to make the B-grid code
584      "more symmetric". This change is likely to remove all "ridges/leads" that
585      where quasi-aligned with the grid in B-grid solutions. It may also be
586      the solution to the stress coupling issues with the B-grid.
587    o each tested exp: add a "run" directory with a standard ".cvsignore" file ;
588      remove .cvsignore from input dir. (since testreport no longer run here).
589    o pkg/thsice:
590     - cleaning: move common block out of "THSICE_2DYN.h" (removed) to "THSICE_VARS.h"
591     - fix reshaping of sea-ice just after advection:
592       melt all the ice only if ice-volume is too small.
593     - re-visit lateral/thinning repartition of melting (modifs from May 04, 2007):
594       prevent lateral melting if sea-ice fraction is too close to iceMaskMin ;
595     and update experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (+start from pickup files).
596    o external_forcing_surf : extend the use of salt_EvPrRn & temp_EvPrRn (fresh-water
597      tracer content) to linFS or no RealFreshWaterFlux ; default remains unchanged.
598    o define mass2rUnit & rUnit2mass as units conversion factor, used for surface
599      forcing. mass2rUnit: from mass per unit area [kg/m2] to r-coordinate unit
600      (z-coord: =1/rhoConst ; p-coord: =gravity) ; rUnit2mass is just the reverse;
601      and remove horiVertRatio (& recip_horiVertRatio). Affects truncation error
602      of exp. global_oce_in_p: 10 16 16 14 16 13 16 16 16 13 13 13 16 13 13 12 16
603      -> update output.txt
604    o pkg/cd_code: add brackets in multiple terms sum (S/R CD_CODE_SCHEME):
605     this affects truncation error: -> update output.txt of exp:
606      global_ocean.90x40x15 (fw&adm), lab_sea (fw&adm) & lab_sea.lsr,
607      ideal_2D_oce, isomip.htd, natl_box, tutorial_global_oce_latlon.
608    
609    checkpoint59f
610    o pkg/autodiff: zero_adj resets an ajoint variable to zero (in adjoint mode)
611    o pkg/ctrl: ctrl_bound  forces parameter corrections to stay in
612      a bounded range (in forward mode)
613    o pkg/ecco, ctrl, autodiff and mom_common:
614     internal parameter controls, completements of implementations
615    o add few EXCH S/R (UV_BGRID, UV_DGRID, SM) for B & D-Grid velocity & 2nd Moment Sxy.
616    o use UV_BGRID exch for dxV,dyU: for now, only with pkg/exch2 & forward ;
617      (not seem any difference in testing results).
618    o pkg/cd_code: use the right EXCH calls (for CS-grid); but problem remains
619       at face corners.
620    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
621     - in GAD.h, define as parameters (iMinAdvR,iMaxAdvR,jMinAdvR,jMaxAdvR)
622      loop range indices for computing vertical advection tendency
623      and do the calculation in the interior only (no overlap) ;
624      for now, only implemented for SOM advection (to save CPU time).
625     - add argument "withSigns" to S/R FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL (needed for SOM_xy moment)
626    o exch2 adjoint
627      First set of changes:
628      - add exch2 hand-written adjoint templates
629      - exch2 hand-written no longer use TAF-flag 'nownew_arg'
630        This will require cleanup in pkg/autodiff/*.F
631        (changed routines currently kept separate in verif. code/)
632      - Comment all relevant #ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
633        that used to hide exch2 or cubed-sphere specific code
634        (commented via 'cph-exch2')
635    o pkg/seaice
636      - Close southern and western boundaries for UICE/VICE when useOBCS=.TRUE.
637    o pkg/bulk_force: fix loading into Qsw of Short-Wave flux; and update
638       output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice .
639    
640    checkpoint59e
641    o exch2: new S/R that only use the cube-tracer (center-position) exchange:
642      for B-grid vector (not yet tested) and C-grid vector (<- only used
643      when option W2_USE_R1_ONLY in W2_OPTIONS.h is defined).
644    o starting implementation of Duffy et al. (GRL 1999) salt plume scheme
645      (#ifdef ALLOW_SALT_PLUME)
646    o gather_2d/scatter_2d: removed halo regions
647    o gmredi: add option (GM_taper_scheme='fm07') for Ferrari & McWilliams 2007
648      scheme and the corresponding test case (under front_relax dir). For now,
649      only available with Skew-flux form and not yet tested in realistic set-up.
650      adjoint: store directives updated, but gradient checks deteriorated,
651      so maybe GM/Redi adjoint is now broken.
652    o seaice adjoint
653      * add AREA, HEFF, HSNOW as control variable
654        (should not change lab_sea results)
655      * CTRL_OPTIONS.h needs new flag: CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_40
656    o pkg/seaice:
657      * added computation of saltFlux in seaice_growth;
658        For time being, sea ice salinity is assumed constant
659        contribution of snow flooding to freshening of sea ice is neglected.
660        SEAICE_salinity is set in SEAICE_PARM01 of data.seaice and it
661        defaults to 0.0 in order to maintain backward compatibility.
662        Typical values for SEAICE_salinity are 4 to 10 g/kg.
663      * replaced dRf(1) with dRf(kSurface)*hFacC(kSurface) in seaice_growth.F
664      * added SEAICE_availHeatFrac, which specifies fraction of surface level
665        heat content used to melt or grow ice
666      * commented out cap of HICE: it helps keep ice thinner
667      * reintroduced cap of HEFF via MAX_HEFF and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF option
668      * applied OBCS T/S mask to HEFFM sea ice mask
669    
670    checkpoint59d
671    o standard name: {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_STATE to fill diagnostics array
672     for {PKG} state variables, and called from DO_STATEVARS_DIAGS.
673     (keep {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_FILL for non-state variables diagnostics)
674    o pkg/gmredi (gmredi_readparms.F): add some missing "_d 0"
675     and change default value of parameter "GM_Small_Number";
676     update output of exp: lab_sea (x2), cfc_example, global_ocean.90x40x15,
677       global_ocean.cs32x15 (x4), global_ocean_ebm, global_with_exf,  
678       tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_global_oce_latlon
679    o pkg/ecco: cost function when applying pkg/smooth to controls
680    o pkg/ctrl: add forcingPrecond run time parameter
681    o pkg/seaice:
682     - replace ZMIN=4.e8 with ZMIN=0. in dynsolver.F as in C-grid code
683     - fix bug in metric terms of u-equation in LSR solver (implicit part),
684       changes verification/lab_sea
685     - rearrange implicit part of u-equation in LSR solver to make it easier to
686       read, understand, and debug. This causes changes at the truncation level.
687     - fix (serious) bug in the boundary conditions (sign error in the implicit
688       part) of the LSR solver. Changes all LSR results.
689     - fixed problem with HSNOW initialization to avoid thick snow when AREA
690       is initilized with small values - does not change lab_sea results.
691     - added HsnowFile initialization capability
692    o pkg/smooth: addition to model/src and pkg/ctrl so allow
693     initialization of pkg/smooth and application to control vector
694    o pkg/seaice: fix another bug in the LSR no-slip boundary conditons
695    o dependencies: pkg/profiles requires pkg/cal
696    o pkg/profiles:
697     - added option ALLOW_PROFILES_GENERICGRID
698         -> pkg/profiles can thus be used with any grid (e.g. cs32x15) assuming
699         that interpolation information (grid points and coefficients) is provided
700         within the netcdf input files.
701         -> sample matlab scripts can be found in MITgcm_contrib/gael
702         that allow you to prepare netcdf input files.
703     - also modified: cleaner include statements, cleaner error print statements,
704       cleaner stops when error, and more tests of the netcdf input files consistency.
705    o additional test (in global_ocean.cs32x15) using seaice+thsice pkgs.
706    o pkg/seaice:
707     - move seaice-diagnostics from seaice_do_diags to do_statevars_diags; this
708       requires a new routine: seaice_diagnostics_fill.F
709     - make sure that seaice does not move if not forced (pressure replacement
710       method, Hibler and Ip, 1995), changes results
711     - and new damping criterion for EVP solver according to Hunke, JCP, 2001
712     - SEAICE_evpDampC = > 0. turns it on (615. is the recommended value).
713       It is turned off by default (=-1.), because it changes the results.
714     - make it possible to read AREA from a file, too.
715    
716    checkpoint59c
717    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
718    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
719    o pkg/thsice:
720     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
721      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
722    o pkg/obcs:
723     - bug fix for balance code
724    o pkg/seaice:
725      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
726      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
727        to SEAICE_elasticParm
728      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
729      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
730      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
731      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
732    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
733      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
734        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
735        clipping or linear tappering.
736      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
737      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
738        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
739      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
740    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
741    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
742      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
743    o adjoint:
744      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
745      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
746      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
747      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
748    
749    checkpoint59b
750    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
751      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
752    o pkg/seaice:
753      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
754        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
755      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
756      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
757      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
758        better
759    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
760      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
761    o pkg/exf:
762      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
763      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
764      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
765      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
766        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
767    o pkg/seaice:
768      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
769      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
770        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
771    o pkg/exf:
772      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
773      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
774      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
775        to the main code ;
776      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
777        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
778        previous code.
779        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
780      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
781    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
782      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
783        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
784      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
785        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
786      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
787      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
788    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
789      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
790      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
791        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
792        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
793     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
794      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
795        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
796      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
797        by ice & snow emissivity.
798    o pkg/thsice:
799     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
800      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
801      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
802      and in thsice_extend.F:
803      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
804      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
805     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
806      and cpl_aim+ocn
807    o pkg/kpp
808     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
809       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
810     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
811     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
812     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
813       be the best fix)
814    o pkg/seaice
815     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
816     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
817    o OpenAD
818     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
819    
820    checkpoint59a
821    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
822    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
823       himin       -> hIceMin
824       himin0      -> hThinIce
825       hihig       -> hThickIce
826       i0          -> i0swFrac
827       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
828       frac_energy -> fracMelting
829      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
830       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
831      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
832    o in FFIELDS.h:
833      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
834      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
835         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
836    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
837    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
838        3D diffusivity arrays are used; pkg/kpp/kpp_calc_diff_s & _t.F
839        are no longer updating the vertical diffusivity array
840        (passed as argument) but are (re-) setting those arrays.
841    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
842      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
843        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
844      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
845      - the above changes lab_sea results
846      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
847        may follow
848      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
849      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
850        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
851        of choosing it)
852      - add principal stress diagnostics
853      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
854        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
855        not have.
856      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
857        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
858        in all cases)
859    o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
860      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
861    
862    checkpoint59
863    o pkg/exf:
864      - fix wind-stress location: defined on A-grid (if ALLOW_ATM_WIND &
865        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE or USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION), otherwise, defined on C-grid
866      - move exf header files from lower_case.h to UPPER_CASE.h ;
867        add missing cvs Header & Name
868      - add adjoint routines and flow dirs for newly used exch_uv_agrid routines
869      - add namelist param. selectStressGridPosition, exf_monFreq
870      - retire many _CLIM routines, and remove data.exf_clim
871        + params moved to data.exf
872        + climsst, climsss now handled by exf_set_gen, i.e.
873          climss?period=0 refers to constant field,
874          climss?period=-12 to monthly forcing
875      - split up namelists in data.exf
876    o pkg/seaice:
877      - remove seaice_exch and seaice_exch_uv
878      - remove superfluous exchange of theta
879      - add myThid to seaice_budget_ocean/ice
880      - add new interface for atmospheric wind forcing (C-grid only)
881        + new routine
882        + two new field (taux, tauy for stress over ice)
883        + removed one global field (DAIRN) for C-grid case only
884    o pkg/thsise
885      - 2nd set of modifs for thsice adjoint in conjunction with exf
886    o enable runtime flag useEXF (useCAL is set to .T. if useEXF=.T.)
887    
888    checkpoint58y_post
889    o Added capability for latitudinal dependence of Bryan and Lewis, 1979
890      vertical diffusivity, similar to that in MOM4; turned on using
891      #define ALLOW_BL79_LAT_VARY in CPP_OPTIONS.h and specified using
892      diffKrBL79*, diffKrBLEQ*, and BL79LatVary in runtime data file.
893    o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
894      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
895      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
896      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
897    o ice dynamics (pkg/seaice) with thsice thermodynamics:
898      - add code within pkg thsice to advect & diffuse sea-ice fields
899      similar to (and will replace) what has been added in  seaice_advdiff.F,
900      but: - conserving Mass, Heat & Salt.
901           - better when using non-linear advection scheme (not yet fully tested)
902           - can also be used in atmospheric set-up (for now, only the diffusion).
903    
904    checkpoint58x_post
905    o IO option for global-file compact format:
906      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
907      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
908      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
909      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
910    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
911    
912    checkpoint58w_post
913    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
914      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
915      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
916      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
917                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
918    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
919      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
920    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
921     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
922     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
923       mass points to avoid tau = 0
924     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
925    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
926    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
927      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
928    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
929    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
930    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
931      to all packages
932    
933    checkpoint58v_post
934    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
935      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
936    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
937    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
938      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
939    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
940      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
941      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
942    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
943      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
944    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
945     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
946     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
947     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
948       and serious testing.
949     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
950       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
951    
952    checkpoint58u_post
953    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
954    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
955    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
956    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
957      momentum calculation.
958    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
959    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
960      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
961      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
962    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
963      Linear Free surface
964    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
965    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
966    
967    checkpoint58t_post
968    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
969    o pkg/mdsio:
970     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
971       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
972       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
973     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
974     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
975       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
976     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
977       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
978     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
979    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
980       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
981      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
982       diagnostic pointer.
983    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
984    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
985    o fix multi-category seaice:
986     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
987       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
988     - fix short wave heat flux
989    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
990       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
991       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
992    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
993      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
994      * used C-grid and EVP solver
995      * used KPP, GM/Redi
996      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
997      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
998        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
999        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
1000        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
1001    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
1002     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
1003     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
1004     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
1005       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
1006     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
1007     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
1008       as atemp, etc.
1009    
1010    checkpoint58s_post
1011    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
1012      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
1013        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
1014        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
1015    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
1016      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
1017      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
1018        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
1019        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
1020        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
1021        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
1022        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
1023    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
1024    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
1025      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
1026    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
1027    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
1028    
1029    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
1030      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
1031      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
1032      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
1033      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
1034      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
1035      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
1036      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
1037      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
1038      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
1039    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
1040      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
1041      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
1042      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
1043    
1044    checkpoint58r_post
1045    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
1046      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
1047      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
1048      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
1049    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
1050    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
1051      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
1052    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
1053      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
1054    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
1055      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
1056      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
1057    o multi-threading and IO:
1058      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
1059      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
1060        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
1061    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
1062      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
1063    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
1064      (will certainly be subject to changes)
1065    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
1066      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
1067    
1068    checkpoint58q_post
1069    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
1070      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
1071      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
1072    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
1073      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
1074      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
1075    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
1076      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
1077    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
1078    
1079    checkpoint58p_post
1080    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
1081    o shelfice:
1082     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
1083     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
1084       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
1085       stable
1086    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
1087    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
1088      and updated flow directives
1089    
1090    checkpoint58o_post
1091    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
1092      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
1093    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
1094      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
1095    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
1096    o simplify EXCH interface:
1097     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
1098     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
1099    o added the regrid package
1100    o shelfice:
1101     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
1102     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
1103    
1104    checkpoint58n_post
1105    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
1106       local variable (not in common block).
1107    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
1108      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
1109      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
1110        to work with SingleCpuIO.
1111    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
1112       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
1113    o multi-threading and IO:
1114      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
1115        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
1116      - barrier before and after reading.
1117      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
1118      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
1119      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
1120        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
1121    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
1122      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
1123    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
1124    
1125    checkpoint58m_post
1126    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
1127       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
1128    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
1129       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
1130       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
1131    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
1132        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
1133    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
1134    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
1135    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
1136    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
1137      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
1138    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
1139    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
1140      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
1141      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
1142    o calc_gw:
1143     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
1144     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
1145       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
1146    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
1147    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
1148      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
1149      truncation level, 11 digits).
1150    
1151    checkpoint58l_post
1152    o calc_gw:
1153     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
1154     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
1155     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
1156    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
1157      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
1158    o pkg/ecco:
1159      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
1160        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
1161      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
1162      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
1163        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
1164      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
1165        including separate counting and multipliers
1166    o pkg/rbcs
1167      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
1168    
1169    checkpoint58k_post
1170    o testreport:
1171     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
1172       & running in input)
1173     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
1174     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
1175     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
1176    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
1177       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
1178       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
1179       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
1180    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
1181     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
1182       end of the routine.
1183    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
1184      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
1185    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
1186    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
1187    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
1188    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
1189      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
1190    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
1191       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
1192    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
1193    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
1194    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
1195       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
1196    o tracer advection:
1197     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
1198     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
1199       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
1200    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
1201    
1202    checkpoint58j_post
1203    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
1204      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
1205    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
1206    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
1207    o genmake2
1208      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
1209    
1210    checkpoint58i_post
1211    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
1212      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
1213    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
1214      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
1215    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
1216      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
1217    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
1218    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
1219    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
1220      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
1221        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
1222      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
1223    
1224    checkpoint58h_post
1225    * Modifications for bottom topography control
1226      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
1227      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
1228      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
1229      o update autodiff support routines
1230      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
1231      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
1232    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
1233    
1234    checkpoint58g_post
1235    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
1236       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
1237       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
1238    o pkg/ggl90:
1239      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
1240      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
1241    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
1242      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
1243      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
1244      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
1245      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
1246        desired results either
1247    o pkg/seaice
1248      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
1249    
1250    checkpoint58f_post
1251    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
1252      to pkg/seaice):
1253      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
1254      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
1255    o pkg/exf:
1256      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
1257      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
1258      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
1259      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
1260        exf_radiation, exf_wind
1261      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
1262        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
1263      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
1264        either wind from stress or stress from wind
1265    o pkg/thSIce:
1266    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
1267    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
1268       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
1269    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
1270    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
1271      to make debugging easier.
1272    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
1273    o pkg/bulk_force:
1274      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
1275      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
1276    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
1277      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
1278    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
1279      testreport accordingly
1280    
1281    checkpoint58e_post
1282    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
1283    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
1284      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
1285      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
1286    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
1287      to be able to use it in pure forward.
1288    
1289    checkpoint58d_post
1290    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
1291     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
1292      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
1293      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
1294      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
1295      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
1296      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
1297      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
1298      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
1299      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
1300      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
1301     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
1302    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
1303    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
1304      with larger stencil
1305    o thsice adjoint: start
1306    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
1307      completeness
1308    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
1309      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
1310    o ptracers adjoint:
1311      * avoid extensive recomputatations
1312      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
1313    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
1314      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
1315    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
1316      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
1317    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
1318      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
1319    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
1320    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
1321      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
1322    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
1323    o new package prifiles:
1324      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
1325      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
1326    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
1327      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
1328    
1329    checkpoint58c_post
1330    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
1331      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
1332    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
1333      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
1334      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
1335      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
1336    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
1337      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
1338    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
1339    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
1340      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
1341      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
1342    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
1343      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
1344    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
1345      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
1346    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
1347    o seaice:
1348      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
1349      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
1350        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
1351      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
1352      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
1353        C-grid solver
1354      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
1355      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
1356        are now exclusive)
1357      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
1358        required re-ordering the code a little:
1359       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
1360       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
1361         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
1362    
1363    checkpoint58b_post
1364    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
1365      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
1366    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
1367      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
1368      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
1369      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
1370    o adjoint:
1371      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
1372      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
1373    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
1374     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
1375      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
1376     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
1377    o ecco
1378      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
1379    o adjoint
1380      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
1381      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
1382      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
1383        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
1384    o seaice:
1385     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
1386       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
1387         and ostres
1388       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
1389         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
1390         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
1391     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
1392     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
1393       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
1394       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
1395       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
1396    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
1397      include it only where its needed
1398    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
1399    o seaice:
1400      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
1401      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
1402      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
1403    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
1404      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
1405    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
1406    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
1407      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
1408    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
1409      (since checkpoint57x_post)
1410    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
1411    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
1412      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
1413    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
1414      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
1415      pkg/generic_advdiff
1416    o seaice:
1417      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
1418        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
1419        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
1420      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
1421      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
1422      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
1423        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
1424      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
1425      
1426    checkpoint58a_post
1427    o seaice:
1428      - bug fix in advect.F
1429    o shelfice:
1430      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
1431        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
1432        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
1433        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
1434        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
1435        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
1436        deep-reaching shelfice.
1437      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
1438      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
1439        now the default
1440      - give a few constants more intuitive names
1441    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
1442      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
1443      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
1444      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
1445      STDOUT.
1446    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
1447    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
1448      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
1449     - works
1450     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
1451              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
1452                instead of new field kTopC
1453              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
1454                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
1455                and ini_mask_etc.F?
1456              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
1457    o seaice pkg:
1458     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
1459       freezing point of sea water at the surface
1460     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
1461       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
1462    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
1463       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
1464       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
1465    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
1466       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
1467       (might add other options later)
1468    o pkg/bulk_force:
1469     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
1470     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
1471       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
1472       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
1473     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
1474     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
1475     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
1476       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
1477     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
1478    
1479    checkpoint58
1480    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
1481      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
1482      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
1483      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
1484      - requested by CNH but off by default
1485      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
1486      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
1487    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
1488      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
1489      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
1490      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
1491    
1492    checkpoint57z_post
1493    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
1494      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
1495    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
1496    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
1497    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
1498      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
1499    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
1500    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
1501         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
1502    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
1503         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
1504      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
1505      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
1506          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
1507          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
1508      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
1509          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
1510          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
1511      * 3 cases:
1512          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
1513          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
1514          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
1515    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
1516      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
1517      * enable at compile-time via
1518        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
1519      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
1520      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
1521      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
1522    
1523    checkpoint57y_post
1524    First step for a NLFS adjoint
1525    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
1526    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
1527    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
1528    o testreport seemed happy
1529    checkpoint57y_pre
1530    
1531    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
1532    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
1533    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
1534    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
1535    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
1536      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
1537    
1538    checkpoint57x_post
1539    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
1540    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
1541      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
1542      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
1543    o Non-Hydrostatic:
1544     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
1545     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
1546    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
1547     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
1548     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
1549       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
1550     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
1551    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
1552    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
1553    o adjoint
1554      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
1555        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
1556      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
1557    
1558    checkpoint57w_post
1559    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
1560                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
1561       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
1562    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
1563      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
1564    o tracer advection scheme:
1565      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
1566       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
1567       was not very convenient).
1568      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
1569       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
1570    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
1571      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
1572      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
1573      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
1574    
1575    checkpoint57v_post
1576    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
1577    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
1578      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
1579      identical results for a few days of testing
1580    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
1581      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
1582      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
1583      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
1584       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
1585    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
1586      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
1587      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
1588    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
1589      and for passive tracers
1590    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
1591      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
1592      file).
1593    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
1594      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
1595    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
1596      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
1597       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
1598      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
1599    
1600    checkpoint57u_post
1601    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
1602      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
1603        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
1604        are treated
1605      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
1606        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
1607      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
1608        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
1609        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
1610        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
1611        with EXF)
1612    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
1613    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
1614      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
1615    
1616    checkpoint57t_post
1617    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
1618    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
1619      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
1620      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
1621    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
1622      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
1623    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
1624      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
1625    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
1626    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
1627    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
1628      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
1629    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
1630      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
1631      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
1632    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
1633      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
1634      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
1635      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
1636      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
1637      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
1638    
1639    checkpoint57s_post
1640    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
1641      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
1642      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
1643      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
1644      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
1645      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
1646      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
1647      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
1648    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
1649    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
1650      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
1651      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
1652      they did before.
1653    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
1654      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
1655    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
1656    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
1657    o various changes to mnc including:
1658      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
1659      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
1660          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
1661      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
1662          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
1663      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
1664    
1665    checkpoint57r_post
1666    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
1667    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
1668    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
1669    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
1670    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
1671      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
1672    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
1673      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
1674    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
1675    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
1676    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
1677    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
1678    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
1679      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
1680      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
1681      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
1682    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
1683      (see README file)
1684    
1685    checkpoint57q_post
1686    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
1687    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
1688      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
1689    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
1690      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
1691    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1692      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
1693      to be able to limit tapelev size
1694    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
1695      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1696      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1697      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
1698    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
1699      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
1700      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
1701    
1702    checkpoint57p_post
1703    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
1704    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
1705      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
1706    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
1707    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
1708      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
1709       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
1710      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
1711     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
1712      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
1713      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
1714      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
1715    
1716    checkpoint57o_post
1717    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
1718      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
1719    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
1720      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
1721    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
1722      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
1723      (worth another tag)
1724    
1725    checkpoint57n_post
1726    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
1727    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
1728    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
1729    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
1730      for atmos. state.
1731    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
1732    o in natl_box_adjoint:
1733      * updated exp 1 to 10
1734        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
1735    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
1736      to incorporate latest changes
1737    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
1738      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
1739    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
1740    
1741    checkpoint57m_post
1742    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
1743      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
1744    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
1745      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
1746    
1747    checkpoint57l_post
1748     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
1749    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
1750       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
1751    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
1752       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
1753    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
1754          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
1755    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
1756    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
1757      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
1758    
1759    checkpoint57k_post
1760    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
1761      new EXF diagnostics output.
1762    
1763    checkpoint57j_post
1764    o exf
1765      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
1766        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
1767        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
1768      * extended diagnostics output
1769        - now includes all EXF variables
1770        - hs, hl moved to common block
1771        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
1772        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
1773        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
1774      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
1775      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
1776        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
1777    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
1778    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
1779      several times with different frequencies.
1780    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
1781      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
1782      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
1783    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
1784      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
1785    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
1786    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
1787    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
1788      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
1789         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
1790    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
1791     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
1792    
1793    checkpoint57i_post
1794    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
1795      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
1796    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
1797      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
1798    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
1799    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
1800      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
1801    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
1802    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
1803    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
1804      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
1805    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
1806      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
1807    o pkg/diagnostics:
1808      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
1809      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
1810    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
1811    
1812    checkpoint57h_done
1813      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
1814      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
1815    
1816    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
1817      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
1818    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
1819      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
1820    
1821    checkpoint57h_post
1822    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
1823    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
1824      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
1825    checkpoint57h_pre
1826    
1827    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
1828      and mnc_outdir_num are false
1829    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
1830      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
1831    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
1832      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
1833    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
1834    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
1835    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
1836    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
1837      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
1838    
1839    checkpoint57g_post
1840    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
1841      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
1842      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
1843    checkpoint57g_pre
1844    
1845    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
1846      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
1847    o added new control variables
1848      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
1849      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
1850    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
1851      (suggested by G. Forget)
1852    
1853    checkpoint57f_post
1854    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
1855      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
1856      account for baseTime shift
1857    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
1858    checkpoint57f_pre
1859    
1860    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
1861    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
1862      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
1863    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
1864    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
1865      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
1866      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
1867      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
1868    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
1869      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
1870    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
1871    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
1872      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
1873        new version is now more standards-compliant
1874    o adjoint-related modifications
1875      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
1876      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
1877      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
1878    
1879    checkpoint57e_post
1880    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
1881    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
1882    
1883    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
1884      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
1885    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
1886    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
1887    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
1888      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
1889      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
1890      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
1891    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
1892      - off by default for backwards compatibility
1893      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
1894    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
1895    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
1896    
1897    checkpoint57d_post
1898    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
1899    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
1900      output from the diagnostics package
1901    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
1902    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
1903      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
1904    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
1905    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
1906    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
1907      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
1908    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
1909    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
1910    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
1911      at the end).
1912    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
1913      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
1914    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
1915    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
1916      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
1917      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
1918    
1919    checkpoint57c_post
1920    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
1921    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
1922    checkpoint57c_pre
1923    
1924    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
1925      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
1926    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
1927      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
1928    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
1929    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
1930    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
1931    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
1932      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
1933      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
1934      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
1935        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
1936        *all* data points are output
1937    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
1938    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
1939    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
1940    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
1941    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
1942      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
1943      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
1944      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
1945    o pkg/ctrl/
1946      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
1947        May be enabled via doPackDiag
1948      *  introduce z-scaling of
1949         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
1950         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
1951    o pkg/mdsio/
1952      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
1953      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
1954    
1955    checkpoint57b_post
1956    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
1957    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
1958      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
1959      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
1960    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
1961    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
1962      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
1963     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
1964    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
1965      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
1966            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
1967    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
1968      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
1969    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
1970      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
1971        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
1972    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
1973    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
1974    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
1975      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
1976      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
1977    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
1978    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
1979      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
1980      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
1981      - restore use of make (not gmake)
1982      - add CC=gcc if using g77
1983    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
1984      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
1985        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
1986        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
1987        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
1988      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
1989        changed)
1990      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
1991    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
1992      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
1993      preprocessors
1994    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
1995     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
1996     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
1997     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
1998       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
1999       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
2000    
2001    checkpoint57a_post
2002    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
2003      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
2004      (what a pain)
2005    
2006    checkpoint57a_pre
2007    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
2008    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
2009    
2010    checkpoint57
2011    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
2012      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
2013      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
2014      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
2015    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
2016    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
2017    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
2018      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
2019    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
2020      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
2021    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
2022      and include in natl_box_adjoint
2023    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
2024      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
2025    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
2026      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
2027    
2028    checkpoint56c_post
2029    o OBCS as control variables
2030      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
2031      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
2032      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
2033      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
2034      - add dummy weights for obcs
2035    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
2036    o optim:
2037      - remove unnecessary header files
2038      - adjusted namelists
2039      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
2040    o exf:
2041      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
2042      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
2043    o mdsio:
2044      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
2045    
2046    checkpoint56b_post
2047    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
2048      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
2049      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
2050      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
2051      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
2052    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
2053      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
2054      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
2055    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
2056      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
2057      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
2058      testreport.
2059    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
2060    
2061    checkpoint56a_post
2062    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
2063      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
2064        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
2065        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
2066        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
2067      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
2068      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
2069      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
2070        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
2071    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
2072    o PTRACERS:
2073      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
2074        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
2075        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
2076      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
2077        monitorFreq
2078      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
2079    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
2080    o exf_check_range:
2081      * default changed to .TRUE.
2082      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
2083      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
2084      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
2085      TBD: a version with stricter range
2086           permitted range would be runtime parameters
2087    o GMredi:
2088      - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
2089      - change S/R GRAD_SIGMA to be valid in the overlap on CS-grid.
2090      - change the default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h: compile everything except Visbeck
2091    o GCHEM:
2092      - move call to GCHEM_FORCING_SEP, so that it is now called before
2093        the blocking exchanges to avoid computing halos in GCHEM_FORCING_SEP
2094      - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
2095      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
2096        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
2097      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
2098        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
2099        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
2100        of ptracers_forcing
2101      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
2102        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
2103      - cleaning up
2104    o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src
2105    
2106    checkpoint56
2107    o AIM: read land-Fraction earlier (from ini-fixed) and monitor land at nIter0
2108    o mnc: cleanup "full" files--fixes out-of-memory problem
2109    o ECCO-GODAE
2110      * model/, pkg/, code/, input/ now complete w.r.t. ECCO-GODAE production setup
2111      * fully merged and updated from SIO code
2112        windstress sign change affects
2113        - exf_inscal_[u/v]stress
2114        - sign of xx_tau[u/v] adjustments
2115        - signs in cost_scat
2116      * ctrl_get_gen: avoid update of tau[u/v] for first few days
2117      * natl_box_adjoint updated and compressed
2118      * 2-level checkpoint switch added
2119        (tested in EXP. 1 of natl_box_adjoint)
2120      * new switch doInitXX to avoid init. of xx_... in optimcycle=0
2121    o SVD
2122      * first complete, non-hacked version for SVD calculations
2123      * all interfaces clean w.r.t to handling of xx_..., adxx_..., g_xx_...
2124        performed via direct access files admtlm_vector.it????
2125        (via ctrl_[un]pack)
2126      * optimcycle is used for ARPACK iteration counter
2127        (note: adxx_... is iterated, rather than xx_...; latter is constant!)
2128      * EV problem ok w.r.t. L2-norm in tangent space; need to check other norms
2129        and add linear transforms where necessary
2130      * controls are initial/final SST, SSS (can be extended; need to check
2131        ctrl_set_[un]pack_xyz.F according to ctrl_set_[un]pack_xy.F
2132    o mdsio: filename info to both stderr, stdout
2133    o exf: exf_inscal_runoff: separated default conversion [m/year] -> [m/sec]
2134      from sign change
2135    
2136    checkpoint55j_post
2137    o isolate dissipation tendency (allow to keep it out off AB) in V.I form.
2138      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
2139    o add consistent build directories and .cvsignore files to verification
2140    o added viscA4GridMin and viscA4GridMax for more control on biharmonic viscosity
2141    o make all subroutines 30 or less characters in length for certain older
2142      compilers to work (a thorough search only turns up two routines in
2143      pkg/ptracers)
2144    o allow (vecinv only) a different horiz. viscosity for Divergence and Vorticity;
2145      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
2146    
2147    checkpoint55i_post
2148    o change arrays for total vertical diffusivity (2.D if explicit,
2149      3.D if implicit) ; each ptracer uses its own background value.
2150    o added mnc/NetCDF output capability to ocn_compon_interf
2151      - added bits to verification/cpl_aim+ocn so that it can run on
2152        ITRDA and other clusters without the mpirun "-wd" option
2153    o fixed wayward endif in mom_fluxform.F that messed up cyclindrical
2154      configuration
2155    o give MNC the ability to create additional files rather than
2156      exceeding a specified file size limit "MNC_MAX_FILESIZE"
2157      - the default is just less than 2GB which is a practical limit
2158        on many systems
2159    o Compute the non-local term using either KPP vertical diffusivity (=default)
2160       or the total vertical diffusivity (when KPP_ghatUseTotalDiffus=T)
2161    
2162    checkpoint55h_post
2163    o add verification test "vermix"
2164    o remove all the *_ioinc flags and replace with the single global
2165      outputTypesInclusive flag
2166    o allow to set a vertical profile of vertical diffusivity for T & S
2167    o call PACKAGE_BOOT & PACKAGES_READPARMS just after INI_PARMS
2168    o useMNC moved from data.mnc to data.pkg
2169    
2170    checkpoint55g_post
2171    o Renaming carbon AD experiments to comply with testreport conventions
2172    o Updating adjoint of Held-Suarez hs94.1x64x5
2173    o Fixing directives for non-ECCO forward_step, after ECCO directives
2174      have been fixed to avoid recomp. of do_oceanic_phys
2175      Works well for global_ocean.90x40x15,
2176      but recomp. issue remains for carbon
2177    o Updating adjoint output for natl_box_adjoint after
2178      pkg/ecco has been modified (see taga c55d_post)
2179    
2180    checkpoint55f_post
2181    o rename to timeave_init_fixed
2182    
2183    checkpoint55e_post
2184    o some delicate re-shuffle of store directives to avoid one
2185      extra call of do_oceanic_physics
2186      affects ecco_the_main_loop.F, do_oceanic_physics.F
2187      checkpoint_lev1_directives.h
2188    o NB: this may break global_ocean adjoint temporarily,
2189      but it is clear how to fix it. Will do later, need this now.
2190    
2191    checkpoint55d_post
2192    o ECCO specific cost function terms (up-to-date with 1x1 runs)
2193    o ecco_cost_weights is modified to 1x1 runs
2194    o modifs to allow observations to be read in as
2195      single file or yearly files
2196    o enable to read exf forcing fields as either
2197      single file or yearly files (flag useExfYearlyFields)
2198    checkpoint55d_pre
2199    
2200    o switch between 2-level and 3-level checkpointing
2201    o add ability of MNC to write local and "partial" (eg. 2D slices where
2202      the full 3D field is never actually stored) arrays to NetCDF files
2203      with the correct (that is, the complete multi-dimensional) set of
2204      array indicies
2205      - used in mom_vecinv() to write the diagFreq output
2206      - tested (demonstrated) in verification/aim.5l_cs
2207    o further mnc-ification
2208      - add verification/lab_sea to the list with mnc setups
2209      - fix undefined mnc v-names in cd_code
2210      - add kpp to mnc output (both snapshot and timeave)
2211    o non-hydrostatic code
2212      - added horizontal viscosity parameter viscAhW for w, that replaces viscAh
2213        in calc_gw.F
2214      - defaults to viscAh
2215      - this is useful, when I want to use viscAh=0 (e.g., only biharmonic
2216        friction or Leith) in non-hydrostatic mode, as long as there is
2217        no biharmonic friction and/or Leigth or equivalent for vertical velocity.
2218    o pkg/cost
2219      extend simple cost functions to treat time mean quantities
2220      (T,U,V) via cost_accumulate_state from cost_tile
2221    o multidimAdvection on CS-grid: implement the full 3 pass ; overlap needs to
2222        be 2 times larger than the minimum size the advection scheme requires.
2223        now get a perfect conservation of salt in advect_cs test-exp (updated)
2224    o GGL90 (Gaspar's TKE mixed layer)
2225      - add horizontal diffusion of TKE, requires exchanges in
2226        do_fields_blocking_exchanges, horizontal diffusivity is zero by
2227        default. In OPA there is no horizontal diffusion of TKE but the
2228        mixing coefficients are computed from a horizontal average of TKE of
2229        6 points or so. I think that diffusion has a little more physical
2230        justification.
2231      - clean up ggl90_calc in the hope of reducing memory usage (this hope
2232        was in vain)
2233      - mask tke-variable in ggl90_init
2234    o fix mask Pb in multidimAdvection on CS-grid (still a small Pb with ipass)
2235    o fix biharmonic diffusion on CS-grid.
2236    o more obcs stuff
2237      - added obcs_external_fields_load as an alternative to the EXF-pkg option
2238        for reading boundary values. This routine is called from
2239        obcs_prescribe_read
2240      - updated obcs_check
2241      - changed sponge layer relaxation parameter units for days to seconds
2242      - turned off sponge layer by default
2243      - changed argument list of OBCS_CALC to myTime+deltaTclock
2244      - fixed about 35 bugs in obcs_external_fields_load
2245    
2246    checkpoint55c_post
2247    o obcs stuff
2248      - new runtime flags useOBCSprescribe, useOBCSbalance
2249      - re-arranged obcs_calc
2250      - moved exf_getobcs to obcs_prescibe_read
2251        obcs_prescibe_read is called after ORLANSKI stuff
2252        and independent of it (executable can contain all).
2253      - updated obcs_check
2254      - added exchanges for U,V,gU,gV for useOBCSprescribe=.TRUE.
2255        These may be necessary only if tangential velocities are
2256        prescribed at OB, not sure, needs testing.
2257    o make the MNC_CW_ADD_VATTR_* subroutines all take scalar arguments
2258      which simplifies the calls and passes the ifc check-bounds test
2259    
2260    checkpoint55b_post
2261    o add a 2D scalar, Z location, exchange_2 routine.
2262    o EXCH_UV for CS-grid: add one u,v in the corner-halo region, allows
2263      to compute vorticity on a wider stencil [e.g., vort3(0,1)&(1,0)]
2264      affects advect_cs results (for the wrong reason): update output.txt
2265    o use a more standard discretization for biharmonic viscosity ;
2266     (original version still available with #define MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 )
2267      affects results of dome set-up: update output.txt
2268    o fix gad_advection.F (CubedSphere part), back to version 1.23
2269    o fix bug in mom_vi_del2uv.F (CubedSphere part).
2270    
2271    checkpoint55a_post
2272    o merged code to
2273      * prescribe/read time-dependent open boundaries
2274        (works in conjunction with exf, cal)
2275      * sponge layer code for open boundaries
2276      * each boundary N/S/E/W now has its own CPP option
2277        (healthy for the adjoint)
2278    
2279    checkpoint55
2280    o up-to-date adjoint of previous breaks
2281      - natl_box_adjoint: problem for exp 12, 13: cost = 0. needs fix
2282      - global_ocean_ebm: adjoint still needs fix (TLM ok)
2283      - global_ocean.90x40x15: extended GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
2284      - carbon: * remove tr1-related adjoint verification
2285                * add ptracer as control variable
2286    o remove all tr1-related code (ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER)
2287      (adjoint stuff still has some tr1 'names', but all use ptracer arrays)
2288    
2289    checkpoint54f_post
2290    o in verification/carbin/ remove experiment related to
2291      ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER (array tr1 etc)
2292      code_ad/ input_ad/ results_ad
2293    
2294    o add two new packages
2295      - ggl90, TKE-model of Gaspar et al. (1990), Blanke+Delecluse (1993)
2296        + subject to optimization (memory)
2297      - opps, OPPS (ocean penetrative plume scheme) of Paluszkiewicz+Romea (1997)
2298        + subject to reordering (many GOTOs in the original code)
2299        + so far opps is called for every (i,j) point, and then operates in
2300          the vertical; one may want to reorder the scheme in order operate in
2301          horizontal slabs at the cost of (a lot of) memory, at least ten new 3D
2302          fields)
2303    o overhaul of IO so that we now have flags for MDSIO and/or MNC
2304      - all verification tests compile and run with linux_ia32_g77
2305      - defaults are compatible with current input files--nothing
2306        should change if you were not previously using MNC
2307      - MNC output has been added in numerous places (eg. timeave)
2308        but there are still a few writes not yet do-able with MNC
2309        (this is in progress)
2310      - flags now allow for either/or/both use of MDSIO and MNC and
2311        documentation will soon follow
2312      - numerous small formatting cleanups for ProTeX
2313    o add version info (via BUILD_INFO.h) to MNC and stdout
2314    
2315    checkpoint54e_post
2316    o add two new packages
2317      - pp81 (Packanowski and Philander, 1981), Richardson number and
2318        stratification dependent mixing
2319      - my82 (Mellor and Yamada, 1982) level 2 turbulence closure scheme
2320      - these scheme operate in a similar manner as KPP (without ghat, of
2321        course), however there is only one diffusivity that is used for both
2322        temperature and salinity (and passive tracers)ç
2323    o add offline package
2324    o add "verification/dic_example" which contains a dic-gchem-ptracer setup
2325      provided by Stephanie Dutkiewicz
2326    o genmake2: add ability to search for C compilers and cleanup test output
2327      - fixes recent SX-6 problems and should help with others (eg. HP-UX)
2328    
2329    checkpoint54d_post
2330    o data.diagnostics: if levels() is unspecified then ALL levels are diagnosed
2331    o bug fix in pkg/cal/cal_addtime.F for TheCalendar='model' day count is wrong,
2332      leading to additional shift by 5 days each year of integration
2333       (i.e. leading to considerable offset over the years)
2334    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/thsice: use z* + RealFW + staggerTimeStep
2335    o start with no AB and no initial filtering (staggerTimeStep):
2336      change the results of test-exp: hs94.128x64x5, hs94.1x64x5 & hs94.cs-32x32x5
2337    o move ocean specific S/R calls from forward_step.F to do_oceanic_phys.F
2338      (external loading & cpl import/export stay in forward_step.F)
2339    o update coupling interface to work with new staggerTimeStep
2340    o change MDSIO ptracers_pickup.
2341    o fix a bug in Flux deriv. vs Ts (pkg/aim_v23/phy_suflux_sice.F);
2342    o genmake2 fixes so netcdf now works on halem ("osf1_alpha_*")
2343    o bugs fixed in kpp_calc.F (ustarY) and external_forcing.F (Qsw & Partial-cell)
2344    
2345    checkpoint54c_post
2346    o replace surfaceTendency U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr by surfaceForcing U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr
2347      this affects (truncation error) output.txt of test-exp:
2348       global_ocean_ebm,_pressure,.cs32x15(&.thsice), lab_sea & natl_box
2349    o pkg/kpp: replace pMask by maskC to reduce memory size (one 3.D array)
2350    o change Qnet to always be the net heat flux, (+upward).
2351      affects (truncation error) output of natl_box exp.: updated
2352    o define the max number of passive tracers in PTRACERS_SIZE.h
2353    o start to test mnc routinely in exp0
2354    o add sea-ice loading (sIceLoad) as a new forcing field.
2355    
2356    checkpoint54b_post
2357    o add testreport "-j JOBS" option for parallel builds (tested and pretty
2358       impressive on Altix and Opteron systems)
2359    o diagnostics can now write NetCDF files through the mnc package
2360    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: update pkg aim_v23 & thsice; update aim.5l_cs output
2361    o staggerTimeStep & multi-Dim-Advec: Exch(U,V) added
2362    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: rescale T & S surface tendencies.
2363      affects (truncation error) output of lab_sea & natl_box exp.: updated
2364    o change pickup _cd & _ptracers (old pickup restart: usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
2365    
2366    checkpoint54a_post
2367    o re-write staggerTimeStep: step fwd U,V and then T,S (reverse the order).
2368    o change pickup file (to restart from old pickup, set usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
2369    o get a perfect restart when using RealFreshWaterFlux + NLFS (not finished)
2370    o update output of all exp. that use staggerTimeStep (except hs94.cs & 2D)
2371      + internal_wave (shift in writing cg2d_ini_res)
2372    checkpoint54a_pre
2373    
2374    o require forcing_In_AB=.FALSE. and remove surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice
2375      - modified verification/lab_sea and natl_box_adjoint accordingly
2376    
2377    checkpoint54
2378    checkpoint53g_post
2379    o prepare splitting of thermodynamics: store convect.counter in common block
2380    o store d.etaH/dt (instead of Div.hV) in common ; affects (truncation error)
2381      output of: global_ocean.cs32x15, global_ocean_pressure & internal_wave
2382    o cnh's modifs to gad_advection.F for cube-sphere multi-dim advection
2383    o new parameter "nShapS": allow to treat differently S from T (nShapT)
2384    o separate Vert.Advec.Scheme from horizontal Advec.Scheme (T & S)
2385    o restore adjointability
2386    
2387    checkpoint53f_post
2388    o modifications that affect AIM experiment results (update output.txt):
2389      - no advection of S at top interface Nr (pkg/generic_advdiff)
2390      - air surf. temp: use lower value between T0 & T1 (phy_suflux_prep.F)
2391    o AIM pkg:
2392      - include stability function into surf.Flux derivative relative to Tsurf
2393      - calculate clear-sky radiation & surface temp. change (for diagnostics)
2394    
2395    checkpoint53e_post
2396    o merged cylindrical coord configuration
2397    o added rotating_tank experiment
2398    checkpoint53e_pre
2399    
2400    checkpoint53d_post
2401    o faulks upgraded: re-generate output.txt that have changed:
2402       global_ocean.cs32x15(.thsice), global_ocean_ebm, lab_sea, natl_box
2403    o Added Bryan and Lewis, 1979, vertical diffusivity profile
2404    o pkg/land: fix problem in land_impl_temp.F when Ts arround freezing.
2405    o added Sadourny discretization of Coriolis
2406      - moved some PARAMETERS from mom_*_coriolis.F to PARAMS.h
2407      - re-enabled use of omega3 (useAbsVorticity)
2408    o added Leith (Phys. Fluids, 1968, 10, 1409-1416) variable viscosity for
2409      vector-invariant equations
2410      - note: does *NOT* yet use same variable visc. for no-slip BC's.
2411    o recoded the lateral boundary conditions for non-hydrostatic w, this time
2412      hopefully without new bugs
2413      - still to do: biharmonic friction for non-hydrostatic w
2414    o bug fix for mom_*_sidedrag: rA -> rAs,rAw
2415    o regenerated output for global_ocean_ebm (using -ieee)
2416    o fix mom_common/mom_*_sidedrag.F to recover numeric output prior to creation
2417      of mom_common/
2418      - simple re-arrangement of instructions within computing loop
2419    checkpoint53d_pre
2420    
2421    checkpoint53c_post
2422    o new version of coupler for AIM+thSIce and Ocean models
2423     - new fields (SSS,h_MixLayer ...) are exchanged through the coupler
2424     - land: change Evaporation of snow
2425     - aim with thSIce: fix bug in snow-precip.
2426    o changes to calc_gw.F
2427     - bug fix for w^2 term near the bottom boundary
2428     - (hopefully) improve the lateral slip boundary condtions for use with
2429        partial/looped cells
2430      - because the bug fix changes two verification experiments anyway (exp5
2431        and plume on slope), change the lateral boundary condition from half slip
2432        to the value of no_slip_sides
2433    o ebm package wasnt quite up to the parallel task. Fixed that.
2434    o Adjoint of EBM package + verification
2435      * TLM OK
2436      * ADM not sufficient accuracy yet (needs further testing)
2437    
2438    checkpoint53b_post
2439    o Commiting new energy balance model to repository
2440      * package is pkg/ebm
2441      * verif. is verification/global_ocean_ebm
2442      * references are in ebm_driver.F
2443    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:

2455    o Will need long integration testing.
2456    checkpoint53b_pre
2457    
2458    o created pkg/mom_common in preparation for variable viscosity code
2459    o renamed and split ini_mnc_io
2460    o pkg/land: only liquid water can diffuse or run-off
2461    o AIM using land: soil wetness availability account for snow
2462    o added printMapIncludesZeros to EEPARMS namelist
2463    
2464    checkpoint53a_post
2465    o restore TAMC compatiility for exf_constants.h
2466      (no usage of _d in .h)
2467    o Additional storing in KPP in an attempt to fix
2468      TAMC problem with adjoint of KPP code.
2469      (no success...)
2470      Identical code works fine with TAF.
2471    o Fixed verification/natl_box_adjoint experiments.
2472      Initial conditions for Experiments 4 and 5 are now
2473      set to "SEAICE_initialHEFF=0", which is more reasonable,
2474      and hence gives results closer to that of Experiment 2.
2475      Experiment 6 requires "SEAICE_initialHEFF=1" and is working once again.
2476    
2477    checkpoint53
2478    o stable checkpoint with up to date adjoint
2479      TLM tests only run for 1st grdchk at the moment. Its unclear if
2480      this is a code problem or a problem with resetting code for g_
2481      variables that is being autogenerated wrong.
2482      Otherwise:
2483       o code is testing well on Linux (P4 and AMD), SGI Alitix and Irix.
2484       o IBM and HPQ tests could not be run because NCAR (IBM) and NCCS (HPQ)
2485         are both still in chaos following their security messes.
2486    
2487    checkpoint52n_post
2488    o various build (mostly genmake2) changes including:
2489      - ability to build/run more easily within Cygwin and MacOS X
2490      - more complicated Makefiles with a stronger dependence on Gnu Make
2491    o pkg/seaice modifications
2492      - added SEAICE_deltaTtherm and SEAICE_deltaTdyn in order to reduce cost
2493        of pkg/seaice.  For time being, SEAICE_deltaTtherm = deltaTtracer
2494        and SEAICE_deltaTdyn must be integer multiple of SEAICE_deltaTtherm
2495      - changed proxy for geostrophic velocity and updated
2496        verification/lab_sea/results/* accordingly
2497      - removed ADI dynamic solver from pkg/seaice
2498      - replaced all occurrences of 1/CSTICE or 1/CSUICE
2499        they caused a segmentation fault under certain circumstances
2500      - removed unused field WATR
2501    o bug fix in exf-package:
2502      -  u/vwind are defined at tracer/pressure points. The values of u/vwindmask
2503         now reflect that.
2504    o small fixes in the cal-package:
2505      - set reference date to first of January for the 'model'-calendar
2506      - failing of cal_CheckDate in cal_FullDate now actually results in a
2507        warning
2508    o small modifications in exf-package to increase flexibility:
2509      - change climtempfreeze from a constant to a runtime parameter that
2510        is specified in data.exf_clim (default = -1.9)
2511      - introduce runtime parameter windstressmax (default = 2.0) that is
2512        specified in data.exf
2513    o fix in pkg/thsice:
2514      - update Evap (Tsf changes) to be consistent with Latent heat flux
2515      - maintain snow precipitation unchanged (even if Tsf >=0).
2516     both affect global_ocean.cs32x15/(.thsice) results ; update output.txt.thsice
2517    
2518    checkpoint52m_post
2519    o commented out call to cal_GetMonthsRec in swfrac.F and added some comments;
2520      this does not change any of the results, because myIter=0 in swfrac always
2521      lead to jwtype=2 (the default anyway), but the call makes little sense
2522      as a default
2523    o no SHORTWAVE HEATING lost at the bottom; affects lab_sea output; updated
2524    o re-work pkg/thsice interface with ocean & bulk_force pkg to allow
2525      atmospheric model (AIM) to use it ; add a "slab ocean" component.
2526    o pkg/aim_v23 : add interface to call thermodynamic sea-ice (thsice)
2527    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/output (.thsice) after changes in pkg/thsice
2528    o extending useSingleCpuIO option to work with new exch2 I/O format
2529      - old-style, missing-tile I/O is still accessible by defining CPP
2530        option MISSING_TILE_IO in pkg/mdsio/MDSIO_OPTIONS.h
2531    o monitor package can write to NetCDF files and/or STDOUT
2532    o fix re-definition bug in MNC_GRID_INIT_ALL()
2533    o doc/api_reference added
2534      - a framework for building an API Reference Manual using all
2535        the "protex" comments embedded in the code
2536      - see pkg/generic_advdiff, pkg/mnc for examples
2537    o MNC:
2538      - make myThid the last argument for all subroutines
2539      - new default for the grid files: NO halos
2540      - add useMNC and other run-time flags
2541      - separate per-file-group handling of the unlimited dimension
2542      - early initialization of MNC w/ flags read at the eeboot stage
2543        and lookup tables set in initialize_fixed
2544      - write all MNC output to a freshly-created directory
2545    o thermodynamics sea-ice (thsice) is now tested with testreport.
2546    o test exp. advect_cs: use the standard cs32 grid ; update output.
2547    o Added functionality to grdchk:
2548      pick global i,j,k position (or nearest wet) where to perform check.
2549    
2550    checkpoint52l_post
2551    o new land formulation:
2552      a) use ground enthalpy as prognostic variable to ensure exact
2553         energy conservation.
2554      b) account for water temperature and for latent heat of freezing
2555         in all processes (rain, run-off, ground storage)
2556      c) compute surface and ground temperature implicitly.
2557    o aim_v23 modification for new land model:
2558      a) Treat separately land / ocean / sea-ice surface fluxes
2559         to allow implicit computation of land & sea-ice surface temp.
2560      b) add snow precipitation.
2561    checkpoint52l_pre
2562    
2563    o fix problem (when 1 tile is empty) in min/max monitor.
2564    o fix bug in timeAve (u,vZetatave in common block)
2565    o no restoring terms under ice for pkg/seaice
2566    o moved SEAICE_DO_DIAGS to S/R do_the_model_io
2567    o bug fix for pkg/seaice pickups
2568    o change MNC call locations and add coordinate attributes
2569    o mask vorticity at the corner ; affects global_ocean.cs output
2570    o fix ini_curvilinear_grid ; test CS experiments with mpi
2571    o aim.5l_cs: modify sea-ice fraction input file ; update output
2572    o exf: Adding simple range check routine for exf fields after read
2573    
2574    checkpoint52k_post
2575    o removed top-level directory "diags"
2576      - we migrated these functions to pkg/timeave a long time ago
2577    o fixed bug introduced in pkg/monitor
2578    o accuracy ctrlprec = 32 insuffient for gradient checks using
2579      averaged fields (I/O via cost_averages)
2580      -> use ctrl.h in active_file*.F to control I/O precision.
2581    o paramter list of CALL ADTHE_MAIN_LOOP
2582    o added initial do_the_model_io to ecco
2583    o set all ...Freq to zero after cost_final
2584      taveFreq, dumpFreq, pChkptFreq
2585    o MAIN and ECCO differentiability restored
2586    
2587    checkpoint52j_post
2588    o fix nchklev in tamc.h for global_ocean...
2589    o Bringing flow and store directives up-to-date
2590    o Really weird thing!
2591      call do_the_model_io from the_main_loop with parameters
2592      starttime, niter0, instead of mytime, myiter, screws up the adjoint:
2593      TAF places a faulty re-call of initialise_varia
2594      after cost_final call which should not be there!
2595    checkpoint52j_pre
2596    
2597    o tweaked pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F to have more useful logic and
2598      error messages
2599    o fix errorMessageUnit problem. remove old version of mdsio from eesup/src
2600    o modified pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F -- commented out diskspace-eating
2601      debug output
2602    o modfied mdsio_writefield.F to handle non-global files under exch2
2603    o update AIM Cubed-Sphere exp (aim.5l_cs):
2604      use land, p*, and Franco.M forcing fields with fractional land-sea mask.
2605    o update AIM Equatorial Channel exp:
2606      use standard aim_v23 pkg and change the SST fields to be more realistic.
2607    o globalFile now works with exch2
2608    o merged mom_vi_calc_relvort3.F, mom_vi_del2uv.F and
2609      mon_vort3.F to make exch2 friendly with >1 tile per cube face
2610    o limit timeave output for hi-res integrations
2611    
2612    checkpoint52i_post
2613    o removed CPP_EEOPTIONS.h from verification/*/code
2614    o updated the tiling for global_ocean_pressure
2615    checkpoint52i_pre
2616    
2617    o update aim.5l_LatLon using the standard aim_v23 pkg (instead of
2618      the old pkg/aim).
2619    
2620    checkpoint52h_pre
2621    o shortened offending lines in exch2_send_rx?.template
2622    o modified W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h to reflect current topology generator
2623    o genmake2: add build & execute test for NetCDF code
2624    o modded aim.5l_cs and global_ocean.cs32x15 to use exch2, removed
2625      old grid files, moved CPP_EEMACROS.h to pkg/exch2
2626    o added useSingleCPUIO flag to monitor.F and mon_out.F
2627    o added temporary hack for sea-ice dynamics on the cube:
2628      metric terms are ignored and it is assumed that
2629      there is no sea-ice on cube faces 1, 2, 4, and 5.
2630    
2631    checkpoint52f_post
2632    o added exch2 cube routines to pkg/exch2
2633    o modified hs94.cs-32x32x5 to use it
2634    o added new grid files to hs94.cs-32x32x5
2635    checkpoint52f_pre
2636    
2637    checkpoint52e_post
2638    o first attempt to solve vertical advection (momemtum & T,S) Implicitly
2639      for now, only implemented with Lax-Wendroff (tracer) and VectInv (mom)
2640    o step.1 : rewrite (as in MultiDimAdvec) explicit tracer stepping (gad_calc_rhs.F)
2641      to work with implicit vertical advection and AB ;
2642    o Implic. vert. advect. implemented with flux-limiter, c2, u3 and c4 scheme.
2643    o update output (gad_calc_rhs.F changes affect truncation error) of exp:
2644     front_relax, global_ocean .cs32x15 & _pressure, internal_wave, lab_sea, natl_box
2645    checkpoint52e_pre
2646    
2647    o fix bug in impldiff when Nr=1 or Nr=2.
2648    o change the albedo in pkg/thsice (as GISS model); update output_thsice.txt
2649    o little changes (fftpack, aim/phy_suflux ...) to pass the "checkbounds" test.
2650    o fix deltaTfreesurf in update_cg2d.F (left from c45d_post): affects 2
2651      ocean exp. that use NLFS: global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_ocean_pressure
2652    o added exf_offset_atemp for Celsius to Kelvin conversion of atemp
2653    o eesupp/inc/EEPARAMS.h: MAX_NO_PROCS=1024
2654    o pkg/cal/cal_toseconds.F fix for long (>60 years) integrations
2655    
2656    checkpoint52d_post
2657    o re-tiled many expts to allow comparison in multi-processor mode
2658      - updated output accordingly
2659      - changed hs94.128x64x5 to use intial T from file rather than use the
2660        random number generator
2661    o add infrastructure in model routines for fizhi and gridalt packages
2662    o change global_ocean.cs32x15 because of Pb with GM on CS-grid.
2663    o changes to permit hi-res, cubed-sphere, configuration
2664      - added useSingleCpuIO capability to mdsio_readfield.F and exf_interp.F
2665      - added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/scatter_2d.F
2666      - added pkg/exf/exf_set_uv.F for on-the-fly interpolation and rotation
2667        of surface winds for the cube
2668      (A verification experiment, based on global_ocean.cs32x15, but with
2669       pkg/seaice turned on and with on-the-fly interpolation from the NCEP
2670       Gaussian grid is described in MITgcm_contrib/high_res_cube/README_ice,
2671       complete with example surface forcing files and matlab scripts to look
2672       at the output and compare it with that of global_ocean.cs32x15.)
2673    o packages pickup: $PKG_write_pickup called from packages_write_pickup ;
2674       but call to $PKG_read_pickup remains in $PKG_ini_vars: change CD_code
2675       to conform to the common rule.
2676    o check-in the first version of the coupler + interfaces for multi-components
2677       set-up (Chris's version, adapted to work on cubed-sphere grid); use MPI.
2678       - imply modification in eesupp (MPI_COMM_MODEL < MPI_COMM_WORLD).
2679       - atmosphere: use pkg aim_v23 ; no sea-ice for now.
2680       - ocean and atmos. share the same horizontal grid (no interpolation).
2681       - exchanges between component and coupler is done in forward_step
2682    o new verification experiment, cpl_aim+ocn:
2683       coupled ocean - AIM atmosphere on cs32 grid.
2684    
2685    checkpoint52d_pre
2686    o surface flux time-av diagnostic modified for NLFS & RealFreshWater
2687    o add call to AIM pendant S/R in external_forcing & external_fields_load.F
2688    
2689    checkpoint52c_post
2690    o Fixing OPTIONS files for use of exf:
2691      - ALLOW_ECCO not needed
2692      - ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h should not be included from
2693        EXF_OPTIONS.h/CAL_OPTIONS.h, but from CPP_OPTIONS.h
2694        as has been the case in the past
2695      - All cal/exf related options are currently set in
2696        single header file. Should remain so until we
2697        agree on a consistent new policy.
2698    o Removed all CPP options for cal package.
2699      cal has no more CPP options.
2700    o modified STOREs in GAD_ADVECTION
2701    o corrected key comp. for passkey
2702    
2703    checkpoint52b_post
2704    o new version: "thsice" of thermodynamic sea-ice pkg:
2705     - only 1 call from "forward_step"; conserve energy, fresh-water & salt.
2706     - modify fluxes but do not change theta directly;
2707     - light cleaning of bulk_force pkg (still needed with thsice).
2708     - add forcing fields + data files in global_ocean.cs32x15/inp_thsice
2709       + output_thsice.txt to test thsice & bulk_force pkgs.
2710    o put back grid & coriolis monitor output.
2711    checkpoint52b_pre
2712    
2713    o call "do_the_model_io" at the beginning (=> dump initial state)
2714    o use rhoConstFresh to define convertEmP2rUnit (was done only in ocean-P)
2715    o sort out interplay between tamc.h and PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h
2716      (need info on NUMBER_OF_PTRACERS)
2717    o missing PTRACERS headers in some routines
2718    o default tamc.h in pkg/autodiff supposed to crash
2719      to ensure proper customization
2720    
2721    checkpoint52a_post
2722    o modifications to make FREEZE (_SURFACE) flux visible to pkg/kpp
2723    - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code    - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code
2724    - FREEZE moved to FORWARD_STEP    - subroutine FREEZE_SURFACE now limits only surface temperature
2725    - subroutine FREEZE now limits only surface temperature      and is called in FORWARD_STEP (if allowFreezing=.TRUE.)
2726      this means new output.txt for global_ocean.90x40x15,      => new output.txt for global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_with_exf
2727      global_ocean.cs32x15, and global_with_exf, but note    - keep the old version of FREEZE for backward compatibility;
2728      that results for these three experiments remain      global_ocean.90x40x15 left unchanged using useOldFreezing=.TRUE.
2729      bit-identical to before if allowFreezing=.FALSE.    - corresponding modifs for TAF directives
2730  o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS  o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS
2731  o time-averaged output for pkg/ptracers  o time-averaged output for pkg/ptracers
2732    o fix problem with ECCO-related divided adjoint
2733      snapshot file was missing some ad-variables,
2734      but no warning issued by TAF
2735    
2736  checkpoint52a_pre  checkpoint52a_pre
2737  o some bug fixes for #undef REAL4_IS_SLOW  o some bug fixes for #undef REAL4_IS_SLOW
