4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/layers:
8      - Added missing call to layers_fill for keeping track of tottend in
9        pkg/diagnostics/diagnostics_fill_state.F
10    o pkg/layers:
11      - added CPP flux LAYERS_FINEGRID_DIAPYCNAL to disable fine-grid binning
12        of diapycnal fluxes
13    o pkg/layers:
14      - reverted changes to interpolation to previous treatment; there
15        was never actually a problem
16    o pkg/layers:
17      - fix interpolation of layers tracers in the presence of partial cells
18      - add lots of new functionality to compute water mass transformation
19        (enabled by CPP flag LAYERS_THERMODYNAMICS)
20      - add new calls from main code (diags_oceanic_surf_flux.F,
21        thermodynamics.F, impldiff.F) and gad to save the necessary fields
22        for layers_thermodynamics calculations
23    o pkg/ptracers:
24      - add capability of stepping a passive tracer forward
25        without advection by setting PTRACERS_advScheme to 0.
26    o pkg/diagnostics:
27      - add few (threads) _BARRIER around any update of "diag_pkgStatus".
28    o pkg/layers:
29      - shift potential density field "prho" by -1000 for density layer averaging so
30        that it corresponds to usual "sigma" definition (i.e., rho(p=const)-1000);
31        Note that density bin boundaries (layers_bounds in data.layers) have
32        to be set accordingly (i.e., shifted, in sigma scale).
33    o pkg/layers:
34      - fix snap-shot output of layer thickness @ V.pt and output of pot.density
35      - fix calculation of layer non-weighted velocity and layer probability
36      - add diagnostics for pot.density used for layer averaging
37    o pkg/seaice:
38      - seaice_calc_viscosity.F: change computation of deltaC**2 to ensure
39        positiveness, modify a few comments and improve variable names,
40      - the changed computation of deltaC affects most seaice-related
41        experiments at the truncation level.
42        seaice_itd.thermo is affected by far the most, with
43        only 7 digits of agreement remaining; update experiments.
44    
45    checkpoint65l (2015/05/04)
46    o pkg/shelfice:
47      - in shelfice_thermodynamics.F, if SHELFICEBoundaryLayer=.true., then set
48        factor drKp1 to zero where it is negative (ie. do not use
49        SHELFICEBoundaryLayer if hFacC>1)
50      - the same for factor drLoc in shelfice_forcing.F
51    o tools/genmake2: move FEXTRAFLAGS from FFLAGS to FOPTIM to avoid a problem
52        with modules in ptracers, when using testreport option "-small_f"
53    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F (in case of SEAICE_ITD)
54      - replace tmpscal1**1.36 by faster exp(1.36*log(tmpscal1))
55    o verification/testreport
56      - add new option -small_f
57        with this option testreport first makes the target small_f (*.f files)
58        before running make (all). This is useful for explicit inlining when
59        all sources need to be full available.
60    o pkg/exf/exf_interp.F:
61        remove previous changes related to reverse (decreasing) input grids latitude
62    
63    checkpoint65k (2015/04/01)
64    o pkg/ecco:
65        fix missing cosphi initialization; use eccoiter in place of optimcycle;
66        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
67        instead of active read/write
68    o pkg/ctrl:
69        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
70        instead of active read/write.
71    o pkg/autodiff: make autodiff_readparms.F and autodiff_whtapeio_sync.F
72        return if .NOT.useAUTODIFF
73    o pkg/seaice: add CPP brackets (cost function related).
74    o model/src:
75        add useAUTODIFF run time switch.
76    o pkg/exf/exf_interp.F:
77        add code to allow input grids with latitude starting in the north (i.e. when
78        j=1 corresponds to northern edge of field); modify global_with_exf to test
79        this feature.
80    o verification/testreport:
81      - replace "grep -A3" with POSIX conformal sed command, because there are
82        implementations of grep that cannot do contextual searches
83      - replace "cat -n" by "nl" (two occurrences), because not all implementations
84        of "cat" have the option "-n"
85    o model/src:
86        add new file gsw_teos10.F that contains 3 functions, more or less a copy
87        of the gsw_toolbox.f90 of the TEOS-10 fortran interface, that are used to
88        convert from conservative to potential temperature. For now they are not
89        called anywhere.
90    o pkg/ggl90: make "useIDEMIX" useful
91      - re-organize code in s/r ggl90_calc a little to move computations that
92        are different for idemix into separate loops (changes verification
93        experiment idemix at truncation level, 12 digits remain -> updated)
94      - requires 2 new 2D fields KappaM, verticalShear
95      - make hFacI and recip_hFacI local 3D variables that are passed to
96        s/r ggl90_idemix
97      - fix and improve some comments
98    
99    checkpoint65j (2015/02/25)
100    o pkg/openad
101      - synchronize seawater.F with version in model/src: replace routine
102        body of sw_temp by calling sw_ptmp and fix/add a few comments.
103    o pkg/mnc:
104      - change default value of pickup_read/write_mnc params to FALSE
105        (since few features are missing in reading MNC pickup files).
106    o model/src:
107      - change default (background) vertical diffusivity for salt to be the
108        temperature (background) vertical diffusivity.
109      - change background vertical diffusivity in vertical mixing pkgs ggl90,
110        kl10, my82 and pp81 from temperature diffusivity to salinity diffusivity.
111        This makes ptracers default diffusivity (that uses salt diffKr) more
112        consistent with vertical mixing schemes.
113    o verification/testreport:
114      - fix typo in "-pcls" option ;
115      - put temp files in /tmp (instead of in local dir)
116      - add option "-ncad" to use genmake2 new option "-nocat4ad"
117      - allow to use "-j" option (for multi-procs make) for AD, OAD and TLM.
118    o pkg/ggl90 (idemix code):
119      - apply few fixes ; add some missing "_d 0" ; update output of exp.
120        global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
121    o OpenAD
122      - enable active file I/O and begin removal of work-around code
123        for OpenAD for handling control variables (memory vs. active files)
124      - new CPP options file OPENAD_OPTIONS.h
125      - revert to genarr2d gradient check for hs94.1x64x5
126      - (genarr3d tested by tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_tracer_adjsens)
127      - gentim2d works for halfpipe_streamice but not yet hs94.1x64x5
128    o tools/genmake2:
129      - add option for an alternative Makefile (from Martin) where multiple
130        source files are sent to TAF (instead of all in one file).
131    o pkg/ggl90: add IDEMIX (Olbers and Eden, 2013)
132      - code provided by Carsten Eden as an extension of ggl90
133      - so far the code is turned on within ggl90 by setting a CPP-flag at
134        compile time; a runtime flag implementation is not yet complete
135      - tested in new verification experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
136    o verification:
137      - reduce length of the AD test run by half for experiments
138        global_ocean.cs32x15 (std + thsice) and isomip
139      - enable active file I/O for OpenAD, adjust verifications accordingly
140      - halfpipe_streamice: change gradient check from genarr2d to gentim2d
141    o verification/testreport:
142      - fix two non-POSIX sed statements so that there are no error messages
143        on Mac OS X
144      - replace hostname -s with hostname | sed 's/\..*$//'
145    o model/src/seawater.F:
146      - simplify SW_TEMP to just calling SW_PTMP with P and PR exchanged
147        (following the matlab code), which would have avoided the bug caught
148        by Matt (see below) in the first place
149    o pkg/shelfice:
150      - implement alternative discretisation of quadratic drag (selectBotDragQuadr)
151        and true distance in no-slip BC (bottomVisc_pCell) similar to bottom-drag.
152      - fix sign of friction tendency (no-slip BC) and fix u,v drag for thin
153        ice-shelf case (i.e., within surface level).
154      - add config summary in shelfice_check.F
155      - remove global variable recip_SHELFICElatentHeat and replace by a local
156        variable recip_latentHeat
157      - introduce diagnostics for friction velocity uStar (in case of
158        SHELFICEuseGammaFrict)
159      - change verification experiment isomip.htd:
160        + start from pickup (as input_ad at nIter0=8640)
161        + start from SHELFICEmassFile instead of SHELFICEloadAnomaly file
162        + test SHELFICEuseGammaFrict = .TRUE.
163        + test SHELFICEadvDiffHeatFlux = .TRUE.
164    o model/src:
165      - fix bug (Thanks to Matt) in function SW_TEMP (to convert Pot.Temp to
166        in-situ Temp) and in routine SW_TEMP (in pkg/openad);
167        update output of experiments global_with_exf.yearly and isomip (all 6).
168    o pkg/shelfice:
169      - change setting of kTopC to also be zero where there is no ice-shelf.
170      - zero out surface forcing arrays (for now, for T & S + EmPmR) where
171        ice-shelf is.
172      - first attempt to get RealFreshWaterFlux effects: for now, only without
173        SHELFICEboundaryLayer ; not consistent if using synchronous time-stepping.
174    o pkg/seaice: add the option to prescribe a fixed thickness PDF
175      for thermodynamic calculations
176      - because of divisions of the type 7/7 not exactly equal to 1, this change
177        affects results of some verification experiments by up to 4 digits:
178        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice, lab_sea, lab_sea.fd, lab_sea.salt_plume,
179        seaice_obcs, seaice_obcs.seaiceSponge, seaice_obcs.tides
180        adjoint: lab_sea, lab_sea.noseaicedyn
181        -> updated
182    
183    checkpoint65i (2015/01/23)
184    o model/src:
185      - change units of frictionHeating field from W to W/m^2
186      - fix bug in frictional heating from stratospheric drag in
187        S/R ATM_PHYS_TENDENCY_APPLY_V
188      - with synchronous time-stepping: move resetting to zero of frictionHeating
189        field from load_fields_driver.F to thermodynamics.F ;
190      - add diagnostics for frictional heating.
191    o model/src & gmredi K3D:
192      - add frictionHeating field to pickup-files (for synchronous time-stepping)
193      - move ALLOW_EDDYPSI block out of DYNVARS.h and merge it into FFIELDS.h
194      - rename uMean,vMean --> uEulerMean,vEulerMean (+ change diagnostics name
195        and name in pickup file).
196      - fix arguments of few DIAGNOSTICS_FILL calls in gmredi_k3d.F
197    o model/src:
198      - move (from ini_forcing.F) initialisation of all arrays in header file
199        FFIELDS.h into new S/R ini_ffields.F ; this fix broken restart
200        (since Nov 2012) with option selectAddFluid=1.
201    o pkg/shelfice:
202      - change units (+ document) of newly added field "shelfIceMassDynTendency"
203      - upgrade from _RS to _RL shelficeMass & shelficeLoadAnomaly arrays.
204    o pkg/obcs: re-organize obcs_calc_stevens.F to prepare for passive tracers
205    o pkg/seaice: two new runtime parameters:
206      - SEAICE_cStar replaces the hard wired "20" in the strength formulation,
207        long overdue
208      - SEAICE_tensilFac: preparation for Koenig-Beatty+Holland (2012)
209        parameterization of tensil stress for fast ice (does not do anything yet)
210    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: left over from restricted addtive Schwarz method
211        for LSR: move checking overlaps out of JFNK-if-block
212    o pkg/atm_phys:
213      - move copy of grid and dynamical fields out of atm_phys_driver.F into
214        new S/R ATM_PHYS_DYN2PHYS.
215      - fix level height for Linear Free-Surf case (to be consistent with
216        fixed-in-time pressure levels).
217    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
218      - average bottomDragFld (ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL) from grid-cell center
219        to correct location (U & V point) in S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
220        update output (adm & tlm) of experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.bottomdrag.
221    o pkg/shelfice (u/v_drag):
222      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG;
223      - use SHELFICEDragLinear & SHELFICEDragQuadratic in shelfice_v_drag.F
224        (now similar to shelfice_u_drag.F)
225      - remove condition on bottomDragTerms when calling SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG
226        from mom_vecinv.F (similar to mom_fluxform calls).
227    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
228      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
229      - add options for alternative discretisation of velocity norm in quadratic
230        bottom drag: averaging of grid-cell-center KE to U.point and V.point
231        (selectBotDragQuadr=0, original code) can produce noisy patterns; this
232        improves when averaging only the other component (e.g. vVel for U bottom
233        drag) using wet-point method (selectBotDragQuadr=2) or not (=1).
234      - add options (bottomVisc_pCell) to account for partial-cell in bottom
235        friction (no-slip BC) thus getting the true distance from the bottom;
236        off by default since this also reduces model stability (explicit bottom
237        friction). Changes produce different machine truncation with linear-drag
238        + no-slip BC: update output of experiments exp4.stevens (10 digits) and
239        front_relax (bvp & mxl, 10 & 11 digits).
240    o model/src & mom pkgs:
241      - add one more level to vertical viscosity local arrays (Nr+1, previously Nr)
242        since no-slip bottom BC uses viscosity @ k+1 to update velocity @ level k
243      - for now and until vertical mixing scheme are updated to fill up level Nr+1,
244        just copy level Nr value to level Nr+1.
245    o doc:
246      - add notes form Abhisek Chakraborty on how to close Heat & Salt budgets.
247    o pkg/streamice:
248      - shelfice_init_varia.F, shelfice_init_fixed.F, shelfice_readparms.F,
249        SHELFICE.h: move array shelficemass to init_varia, initialise
250        from array shelficemassinit, which is set in init_fixed and
251        has option to be set from file; introduce array
252        shelficeMassDynTend array, set thru file in init_fixed
253      - NEW FILE: shelfice_step_icemass.F: update shelficemass from either
254        shelfIceFreshWaterFlux and shelficeMassDynTend or H_streamice in
255        pkg/streamice
256      - shelfice_thermodynamics.F: call shelfice_step_icemass if
257        SHELFICEMassStepping = .true.
258      - shelfice_ad_diff.list: add new subroutine shelfice_step_icemass.f
259    
260    checkpoint65h (2014/12/17)
261    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15, global_ocean_ebm:
262      - update to generic controls.
263    o pkg/ctrl:
264      - ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F: test for igen>0
265      - ctrl_init_variables.F: add call to CTRL_MAP_INI_GENTIM2D.
266      - move gentim2d part of ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F to
267        new separate routine : ctrl_map_ini_gentim2d.F
268      - ctrl_cost_driver.F,ctrl_init.F ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
269        add time variable weights and cyclic controls (time mean,
270        seasonal cycle, etc) capabilities to gentim2d
271    o pkg/ecco:
272      - move reading of error, conversion to weights from
273        ecco_cost_init_fixed.F to ecco_toolbox.F (ecco_readwei)
274    o global_oce_llc90, cs32:
275      - activte sbo.
276      - CTRL_SIZE.h : add maxCtrlProc.
277      - activate the new genctrl capabilities.
278      - update following reorganization of global_oce_input_fields.tar.gz  
279    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_ad_diff.list:
280      - add missing ctrl_init_rec.f
281    o tools/OAD_support/keepOriginal:
282      - add ctrl_init_rec.F
283    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
284      - avoid recomputations of xx_gentim2d_dummy.
285    o momentum diagnostics:
286      - move filling of diagnostics Um_Diss & Vm_Diss from mom_fluxform.F and
287        mom_vecinv.F to timestep.F (to include Smag-3D contribution).
288    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F:
289      - fix computation of BU/BV, make sure they are non-zero, only necessary
290        for cubed sphere exchanges and SEAICE_OLx/y>0.
291        This makes calling s/r fill_cs_corner_rl obsolete (removed).
292    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
293      - add test for strong implicit coupling and restricted addtive Schwarz
294        methods for LSR
295      - update results/output.seaice.txt
296    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
297      - AD & OAD set-up: switch off ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (like in fwd set-up)
298        and set PTRACERS_EvPrRn(1,2) to zero (for DIC & ALK);
299        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
300    o pkg/dic:
301      - change default to "#undef ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX" in DIC_OPTIONS.h
302      - add a stop when ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX is defined and PTRACERS_EvPrRn
303        for tracer 1 & 2 is set (to avoid double counting of dilution effect).
304    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
305      - AD & OAD set-up: do not set PTRACERS_EvPrRn for tracer 1 & 2 since
306        dilution is already added by pkg/dic ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX ;
307        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
308    o eesupp/src:
309      - add fill_cs_corner_rl.F (_RL-copy of fill_cs_corner_rs.F)
310        and call it in seaice_lsr when using nonzero SEAICE_OLx/y
311    o pkg/seaice: introduce strongly implicit coupling, intended for stabilizing
312      LSR (following Hutchings et al. 2004)
313      - introduce zetaZ as a global variable (requires adjustments in
314        seaice_evp.F and seaice_jfnk.F) and compute analoguously to etaZ
315        in seaice_calc_viscosities.F
316      - new flag SEAICEuseStrImpCpl (default off)
317      - add new terms zetaZ*du/dy and zetaZ*dv/dx on both sides of the
318        momentum equations
319      - JFNK-solver (preconditioner) adjusted to allow using this method
320        (where it does not have any positive effect)
321    o pkg/seaice
322      - add overlap for restrictive additive Schwartz method also to LSR, but
323        turn it off by default (because it only seems to work for non-cubed
324        sphere/llc topologies)
325    o pkg/autodiff
326      - add extra exchanges in addummy_in_steppging also for mnc output
327    o pkg/seaice:
328      - add extra exchanges before dumping adjoint fields in seaice_ad_dump.F
329        to avoid stripes in the adjoint output (similar to addummy_in_stepping.F)
330    o pkg/obcs:
331      - add option to specify domain-connected piece Id along OB though files
332        (for now, only used to diagnose PhiVel; default =1 -> global correction)
333      - modify obcs_diag_balance.F to process each connected-part separately;
334        exclude OB where Id = 0 but keep the full divergence there (-> constant
335        Psi along this portion of OB and all inflow derived from grad(Phi))
336      - add example of OB-conect files in verification/so_box_biogeo/input.
337    o pkg/diagnostics:
338      - improve treatment of Open-Boundaries in Velocity-Potential calculation:
339      a) use non zero matrix element across OB and solve for Phi 1 grid point
340         outside OB (i.e, where tracer OBCS are applied).
341      b) global imbalance of inFlow/outFlow across OB: instead of modifying
342         velocity across OB, spread it uniformly along the OB in the RHS.
343    
344    checkpoint65g (2014/11/19)
345    o pkg/diagnostcis:
346      - add preconditioner off-diagonal factor (diagCG_pcOffDFac) as run-time param
347    o pkg/my82,pp81,kl10:
348      - fix ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR implementation (previously had no effect): use 3-D
349        field diffKr as background diffusivity to set minimum diffusivity value.
350    o pkg/seaice:
351      - add new parameter SEAICEuseEVPrev (for revisited EVP by
352        Bouillon et al 2013)
353      - add SEAICE_evpAlpha/Beta to namelist
354      - modify seaice_evp code to able to use SEAICEuseEVPrev. These changes
355        involve trivial re-ordering of divisions/multiplications that should not
356        have any effects, but ... they do change the results of lab_sea.hb87 so
357        that only 2 digits of agreement remain, in line with the general
358        instability/fragility of the evp-code. For now, I do not care and just
359        update the verification experiment
360    o pkg/ctrl : add generic pre-processing (xx_genarr2d_preproc etc)
361      - remove xx_genarr2d_numsmooth etc
362      - use xx_genarr2d_preproc etc instead
363      - carry out smooth_correl2D at initialization stage rather than during
364        time stepping.
365      - get smoothOpNb from xx_gentim2d_preproc
366    o global_oce_cs32 :
367      - add test of generic ecco capabilities.
368    o pkg/exf/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F :
369      - add to tmpUE/tmpVN rather than re-initializing them (conventional behavior).
370    o pkg/ctrl,ecco :
371      - omit un-necessary arguments to ctrl_cost_gen.F unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED
372        is defined.
373    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for Delta (deformation parameter)
374    o model/src:
375      - when ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR is defined, add a Warning if any of the vertical
376        diffusivity (background) is specified but ignored.
377    o verification:
378      - in testreport, convert hostname to lower case for default output dir name
379    o model, pkg : add useCTRL, useECCO parameters (on/off run time switch).
380    o pkg/dic: add modifications from Hajoon:
381      - add iron sedimentation flux function of the flux of PO4 out of bottom layer
382      - light attenuation: add self-shading effect by climatological Chlorophyll
383        (read from file).
384    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F : fix cpp flags, so that code also
385        compiles when SEAICE_ALLOW_DYNAMICS is undefined
386    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now use separate
387        AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h, ECCO_OPTIONS.h rather than
388        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (i.e. replacing the deprecated, circumvoluted,
389        approach where CPP_OPTIONS.h includes an omnipotent
390        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h that superseeds pkgs '_OPTIONS.h').
391    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F : include GMREDI_OPTIONS.h where
392        ALLOW_3D_KAPGM, ALLOW_3D_KAPREDI (to be added later) belong.
393    o pkg/seaice/SEAICE_SIZE.h : replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC with ALLOW_AUTODIFF
394        to avoid needing AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h anytime SEAICE_SIZE.h is included
395        (it seems that THSICE_SIZE.h, PTRACERS_SIZE.h have the same issue...)
396    o model/src, pkg/smooth, profiles, salt_plume, seaice, exf, ecco, ctrl :
397      add ECCO_OPTIONS.h, AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h when needed
398      - ECCO_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ecco_cost.h, ecco.h
399      - AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h is needed when including tamc.h, tamc_keys.h
400      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ctrl.h, optim.h, etc
401    o pkg/ctrl,ecco,exf :
402      - remove variables associated with NON-generic costs,
403        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
404      - remove NON-generic NON-obcs controls,
405        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
406    o pkg/ctrl : added ctrl_local_params.h
407    o pkg/ecco : added ecco_local_params.h
408    o verification : added ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED to most as and oad
409        experiments, which will progressively be removed once the
410        experiments are revised to use only generic controls/costs.
411    
412    checkpoint65f (2014/10/13)
413    o pkg/ctrl, ecco, seaice : minor changes in headers
414    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now test generic
415        cost function and control capabilities added since checkpoint65c.
416    o pkg/ctrl: regroup all obcs ctrl variables in CTRL_OBCS.h.
417    o pkg/ecco: increase modularity and improve logic
418      - ecco_toolbox.F (new) : basic operations that are often used,
419        including ecco_zero, ecco_cp, ecco_cprsrl, ecco_diffmsk,
420        ecco_addcost, ecco_add, ecco_div, ecco_readbar.
421      - cost_gencal.F (new) : determine filnames and records.
422      - cost_genread.F, cost_generic.F : condense code using ecco_toolbox.
423      - cost_generic.F : use spzeroloc rather than hard-coded -9999,
424        and exploit the above functions leading to more compact code.
425      - cost_genread.F : rm un-necessary arguments, re-arrange args order.
426      - ecco_check.F, ecco_readparms.F : bring logic up to date (using_tpj,
427        using_ers, using_gfo, using_mdt is now only defined within gencost)
428    o pkg/ecco: extend generic cost capabilities
429      - pkg/ecco : added 3D gencost (ALLOW_GENCOST3D), added gencost
430        capabilities via gencost_preproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params),
431        gencost_posproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params), gencost_nrecperiod,
432        gencost_outputlevel arguments to cost_generic
433      - pkg/ecco/cost_genread.F (new) : interface between cost_generic
434        and active_read, making room for gencost_preproc to take effect.
435        Added preproc code ('climmon') to replace GENERIC_BAR_MONTH.
436      - pkg/ecco/cost_generic.F :
437        compute and store misfit maks*(model-data) in localdif that is
438        then used in cost and for output, output misfit if outlev.GT.0
439      - pkg/ecco/cost_averagesfields.F : depend on gencost_barskip
440        rather gencost_barfile for deciding whether to write barfile
441      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_driver.F : extract call to cost_profiles from cost_hyd
442      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_init_fixed.F : extract gencost weights from
443        ecco_cost_weights, re-activate ecco_summary, determine gencost_barskip
444      - pkg/ecco/ecco_summary.F : report gencost variables
445      - pkg/ecco/cost_gencost_customize.F : treat case of scatterometer costs
446    o pkg/sea/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h : add ALLOW_COST_ICE, ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA
447    o pkg/ecco: internal re-organization
448      - resolve un-necessary dependancies within pkg/ecco and to pkg/ctrl
449        (rm includes of optim.h and ctrl.h, replace optimcycle with eccoiter,
450        mv relevant variables definition from ecco_cost.h to ecco.h,
451        make sure gencost routines only include ecco.h)
452      - throughout : add missing CCP switches, rm unused variables,
453        and rm un-necessary CPP switches
454      - throughout gencost routines : replace modelstartdate with
455        gencost_startdate when needed
456      - cost_bp_read.F : use arguments, instead of common blocs
457        so that it can be used also by (new) cost_gencost_bpv4.F
458      - ecco_init_varia.F : initialize RHOsumGlob_0, VOLsumGlob_0
459      - ecco_phys.F : compute etanFull
460      - ecco_readparms.F : rename using_topex as using_tpj, add
461        bpv4-grace to gencost list, initialize added parameters
462      - ecco_summary.F : include SIZE.h needed for augmented ecco.h
463    
464    checkpoint65e (2014/09/28)
465    o pkg/obcs:
466      - replaced the just-added CPP options with run-time variables
467        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_PARAMS.h for details)
468    o pkg/obcs:
469      - add additional CPP options for sponge boundary layers
470        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_OPTIONS.h for details)
471    o pkg/atm_phys:
472      - implement simple (obliquity only, assuming circular planet orbit)
473        seasonal cycle for incoming insolation ; used when run-time parameter
474        "select_incSW" is set to 1 ; by default (=0), uses old unchanged formula.
475    o pkg/exf, pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl:
476      - add ctrlUseGen and .NOT.ctrlUseGen exclusive brackets
477      - activate gentim2d for xx_atemp,xx_aqh,xx_swdown,xx_lwdown,xx_precip
478      - implement gentim2d for xx_tauu, xx_tauv
479    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/ecco :
480      - fix and complement the generic controls implementation
481    o pkg/exf/exf_getclim.F, exf_getffields.F, exf_getsurfacefluxes.F,
482        pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F,
483        verification/hs94.1x64x5/code_ad/ctrl_map_gentim2d.F,
484        verification/hs94.1x64x5/code_oad/ctrl_map_gentim2d.F :
485      - add weight in CTRL_GET_GEN calls
486    o pkg/ctrl :
487      - ctrl_get_gen.F : add weight as input parameter, and apply
488        it directly rather than using smooth_correl2Dw (to be retired).
489      - ctrl_map_gentim2d.F : add wgentim2d in CTRL_GET_GEN call
490    o pkg/ctrl :
491      - introduce run time switch ctrlUseGen (in ctrl.h, ctrl_check.F,
492        ctrl_init_variables.F, ctrl_readparms.F, ctrl_summary.F)
493      - re-activate ctrl_summary (call in ctrl_init.F)
494    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_cost_gen.F :
495      - fix CCP brackets, remove un-necessary myiter, mytime
496    o pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl :
497      - remove cost_genctrl.F (now pkg/ctrl/ctrl_cost_driver.F)
498      - remove cost_forcing_gen.F (now pkg/ctrl/ctrl_cost_gen2d.F)
499      - add ctrl_cost_driver.F (replaces pkg/ecco/cost_genctrl.F)
500      - add ctrl_cost_gen2d.F (replaces pkg/ecco/cost_forcing_gen.F)
501    
502    checkpoint65d (2014/09/15)
503    o pkg/ctrl/CTRL_GENARR.h, ctrl_readparms.F :
504      - add xx_genarr2d_bounds,xx_genarr3d_bounds,
505        xx_genarr2d_numsmooth, xx_genarr3d_numsmooth
506    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F :
507      - remove compilation failure
508      - replace hard coded example
509      - use ctrl_map_ini_gen2D, 3D
510    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F :
511      - on/off switch based upon xx_genarr2d_weight,3d
512    o src/packages_init_variables.F :
513      - regroup pkg/estimation calls
514      - remove CTRL_MAP_INI, CTRL_MAP_INI_ECCO
515        (moved to ctrl_init_variables)
516    o cost/cost_init_varia.F :
517      - remove ecco_cost_init_varia
518        (moved to ecco_init_varia)
519    o ctrl/ctrl_init_variables.F :
520      - add CTRL_MAP_INI, CTRL_MAP_INI_ECCO
521      - add CTRL_MAP_INI_GENARR, SEAICE_CTRL_MAP_INI
522    o ctrl/ctrl_map_ini.F :
523      - remove ctrl_map_ini_genarr, seaice_ctrl_map_ini
524        (moved to ctrl_init_variables)
525    o ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F :
526      - remove ECCO_PHYS (mv to ecco_init_varia)
527      - remove seaice_ctrl_map_ini (mv to ctrl_init_variables)
528    o ecco/ecco_ad_diff.list :
529      - add ecco_init_varia.f
530    o ecco/ecco_init_varia.F
531      - new routine
532    o pkg/streamice:
533      - move call to STREAMICE_INITIALIZE_PETSC from the_model_main.F
534        to streamice_init_fixed.F ; fix setting of STREAMICEisOn.
535      - from model/src, only call pkg/streamice routines if useStreamIce is TRUE.
536    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
537      - fix bug causing negatives in GAD_SMOLARKIEWICZ_HACK, introduced 8/8/2014.
538    o pkg/exf:
539      - exf_getffields.F : add xxg_atemp, xxg_aqh, xxg_swdown, xxg_lwdown,
540         xxg_precip capability
541      - exf_wind.F : no need for ALLOW_WSPEED_CONTROL cpp switch
542    o pkg/ctrl:
543      - ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F : omit (un)packing of undefined xx_gentim2d
544    o model/src/load_fields_driver.F :
545      - move call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D ahead of BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD, EXF_GETFORCING
546        so xx_gentim2d can be applied to e.g. exf fields in a timely manner.
547    o OpenAD verification experiments:
548      - Include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h, and CTRL_OPTIONS.h
549        in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h);
550        for now, only in pkgs used in OpenAD verification experiments.
551      - Change all except one (halfpipe_streamice) OpenAD experiments to use pkg
552        specific option file (AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h & CTRL_OPTIONS.h)
553        instead of using ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (with all relevant options in it).
554        This applies to both TAF (*/code_ad/) and OpenAD (*/code_oad/) tests.
555    o OpenAD verification tests:
556      - finish removing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD (replaced by ALLOW_OPENAD);
557      - finish replacing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for
558        tape/storage which are specific to TAF/TAMC) in pkgs used in OpenAD exp.
559      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undef in OpenAD verification tests (*/code_oad/)
560        and remove local copy of "tamc.h" (needed only if ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC).
561    o model/src & generic_advdiff:
562      - change hard-coded loop-range in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T/S to set T & S
563        forcing over 0:sNx+1, 0:sNy=1 (instead of just 1:sNx,1:sNy): Model
564        dynamics requires valid tracer forcing only over tile interior but, for
565        some diagnostics, may need to extend it over 1 point in tile halo region.
566      - in gad_calc_rhs.F, update calls to gmredi_x/ytransport to get valid
567        tendency over i,j_Min,Max range. This allows to simplfy i,j_Min,Max
568        setting in temp/salt/ptracer_integrate.F
569    o pkg/dic:
570      - multiply tracer tendencies by maskInC (if ussing OBCS) before updating
571        gchem tracers: this allows to skip the 2nd call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER
572        in gchem_forcing_sep.F
573    o pkg/autodiff & obcs:
574      - add storage of current OB values for U & V (was already done for T & S).
575    
576    checkpoint65c (2014/08/30)
577    o pkg/dic:
578      - take out of dic_atmos.F the initialisation part (corresponding to istate=0)
579        and move it to new S/R DIC_INI_ATMOS ; also simplify the dependencies for
580        AD compilers (but still a Pb with multi-threading and Ajoint dependencies).
581    o verification:
582      - new experiment testing OBCS and DIC pkgs, using params & output from
583        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo but limited to a sub-domain around Drake
584        passage: take OBCS from the last year of a 2 yrs simulation and initial
585        conditions from t=1.yr while keeping the same forcing.
586    o model/src:
587      - when allowFreezing=T, only reset below freezing initial Temp to Tfreezing
588        (at any k) if checkIniTemp is not set to FALSE (default checkIniTemp=T).
589    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
590      - re-write S/R DIAGSTATS_CALC (more similar to TARGET_NEC_SX part) to:
591        a) refine region where stats are computed, excluding where arrhFac=0 ;
592        b) fix missing interior mask (use with OBCS) in 3-D fields statistics;
593        c) extend regional stats over the region edges (for U or V pt location).
594    o pkg/gchem:
595      - add a (2nd) call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER in gchem_forcing_sep.F (needed since
596        pkg/dic is currently changing/updating ptracers values beyond the OB).
597    o verification (hs94):
598      - convert Held & Suarez external_forcing.F (from hs94.cs, with Sigma-coords
599        bits) to apply_forcing.F and undef USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING in experiments
600        hs94.cs-32x32x5 and tutorial_held_suarez_cs ; also use the same version of
601        apply_forcing.F in 2D hs94 (fwd, ad & oad) but keep LatLon hs94 unchanged.
602    o pkg/ptracers:
603      - implement Adams-Bashforth on pTracers (instead of on tracer tendency),
604        switched on by setting PTRACERS_doAB_onGpTr=F (default set to doAB_onGtGs)
605      - change exp4 secondary test (input.nlfs) to test AB on T & S & pTracer
606        with AB-2 code (so that it get tested).
607    o model/src:
608      - allow to apply Adams-Bashforth on Temp & Salt (instead of on gT,gS)
609        with AB-2 code (previously only available with AB-3 code).
610        Also move the code (call to ADAMS_BASHFORTH S/R) form thermodynamics.F
611        to temp/salt_integrate.F (since the 2nd part of gt/sNm1 update is done
612        there, by calling CYCLE_AB_TRACER).
613    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
614      - change Tracer argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R GAD_CALC_RHS,
615        GAD_C2_ADV_R, GAD_U3_ADV_R, GAD_C4_ADV_R, GAD_DIFF_R, GAD_BIHARM_R
616        + also in GMREDI_X/Y/RTRANSPORT ; and update corresponding calls in
617        S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
618    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
619      - remove common block variables gT,gS (in DYNVARS.h), except when
620         USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING is defined; update TAF storage accordingly.
621      - remove common block variable gPtr.
622    o model/src & pkgs:
623      - change gTracer (and/or tracer) argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R
624         ADAMS_BASHFORTH(2&3), CYCLE_(AB_)TRACER, FREESURF_RESCALE_G,
625         IMPLDIFF, SOLVE_TRIDIAGONAL & _PENTADIAGONAL, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
626         GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_CALC_RHS, GAD_IMPLICIT_R, TIMEAVE_CUMUL_DIF_1T
627      + change accordingly all calling S/R.
628      - use local temperature/salinity/ptracer tendency array (without bi,bj)
629        in S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
630    o pkg/seaice:
631      - move computation of stress contributions to rhsU/V in s/r seaice_lsr
632        to separate s/r seaice_lsr_rhsu/v in order to be able to re-use code
633      - make u/vIceC local variables if SEAICE_CGRID is defined only to be used
634        in seaice_lsr
635      - seaice_lsr.F: make local 4D arrays UXX, VYY, etc 2D
636        in s/r seaice_lsr_calc_coeffs
637    o pkg/mdsio:
638      - in MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD, stop if file-name (+prefix) is too long
639        (e.g., > MAX_LEN_MBUF -90 ) or, in INI_MODEL_IO, if mdsioLocalDir is
640        too long (e.g., > MAX_LEN_FNAM/2 )
641    
642    checkpoint65b (2014/08/12)
643    o pkg/matrix:
644      - pass, as argument, updated tracer field to S/R MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP
645    o model/src:
646      - fix initialisation of geothermalFile; compile geothermal-flux code in
647        natl_box verification experiment.
648    o model/src & pkg/down_slope:
649      - push the k loop inside S/R TIMESTEP_TRACER (now called outside the k loop).
650      - in dwnslp_apply.F, update tracer tendency instead of the future tracer
651        field and call S/R DWNSLP_APPLY before TIMESTEP_TRACER; this affects
652        results at machine truncation level: update output of experiments
653        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp (FWD) and lab_sea.noseaicedyn (AD).
654    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
655      - do not cumulate the full volume when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is
656        called with bibjFlg < 0 (no increment of the counter for 2D/3D diag);
657        This fix the mean statistics when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is called multiple
658        times (but Min,Max and StD are still wrong).
659    o model/src:
660      - add geothermal flux forcing: read in ini_forcing.F as time-constant
661        field "geothermalFlux" applied in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T (apply_forcing.F)
662    o model/src:
663      - move CYCLE_TRACER calls from tracers_correction_step.F to temp/salt/ptracer
664        _integrate.F so that, when leaving S/R THERMODYANMICS, theta,salt and pTrac
665        arrays are already updated while adjustments (filters, conv.adjustment) are
666        still applied later, in S/R TRACERS_CORRECTION_STEP.
667    o model/src:
668      - store in common bloc array "rhoInSitu" the virtual potential temperature
669        anomaly that is used to compute geopotential: this make the atmos code
670        more similar to ocean code which already uses rhoInSitu in calc_phi_hyd.F
671    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
672      - rename integer variable ilcall to ipass (that's what it is called
673        in the residual diagnostics
674      - change time stepping for NPSEUDOTIMESTEP > 2 (does not change the
675        default) for improved non-linear convergence of the first few steps
676      - adjust a few comments and add new ones to explain some of the store
677        directives
678    o pkg/generic_advdiff (& ptracers):
679      - re-work the code to check for valid advection scheme and for minimum
680        size of overlap (now stored in local common bloc in gad_advscheme.F)
681    o pkg/seaice: another attempt to make the adjoint work for sea ice dynamics
682      - re-initialize more variables in seaice_lsr: u/vIceC, u/vIceNm1
683      - add an auxilliary variable "bet" and fix store directives and keys in
684        seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, this seems to do the trick (i.e. more or
685        less exact gradients in my tests); but there are still
686        recomputation warning (although gradients are sort of OK), when
687        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE is not defined, so this flag and
688        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA are recommended for efficiency.
689      - update verification experiments lab_sea.
690      - change some comments in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
691    o model/src:
692      - if staggerTimeStep=T, always apply exchange to velocity field in
693        do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F instead of in do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F
694        (independent of using multi-dim advection or not); no effect on FWD run
695        but affects AD results (at machine truncation level): update output of
696        experiment 1D_ocean_ice_column (ad: 12 digits), hs94.1x64x5 (ad,oad: 13.d)
697        and isomip (oad: 12.d).
698    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
699      - stop if doAB_onGtGs is set to FALSE but ignored
700      - refine warning related to stability of tracer time-stepping
701        regarding internal wave dynamics.
702      - setting of AdamsBashforth_T,S when doAB_onGtGs=F: remove condition
703        on staggerTimeStep & implicitIntGravWave (will now get a warning
704        if potentially unstable).
705    o pkg/kl10:
706      - add new pkg "kl10" for mixing due to internal wave breaking, from
707        http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1463500310000144
708        (contribution from Jody Klymak), tested in verification experiment
709        verification/internal_wave/input.kl10/
710    o isomip experiment:
711      - test pkg/shelfice with Non-Lin Free-Surf in one of the FWD set-up
712        (input.htd) and update the output.
713    o cd_code experiments:
714      - use default cd_code options (#undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM &
715        #undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_CORIOLIS) in experiments: cfc_example (fwd)
716        global_ocean.90x40x15 (ad & oad) and OpenAD (ad & oad) and
717        update the corresponding output.
718    o pkg/seaice:
719      - reduce the number of include files and store directives in
720        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
721      - change the order of loops in one case in S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv
722        (only for SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA defined), which allows me to
723        get rid off one store directive (a TAF bug?)
724      - add one more instance of ifdef SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in
725        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv to change the loop range for consistency
726      - remove ilcall, m from parameter list of S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
727      - fix a bug that affects the JFNK solver: replace sNx/y by i/jMax in
728        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v (requires update of
729        offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk)
730    
731    checkpoint65a (2014/07/27)
732    o model/src:
733      - Non-Lin Free-Surf in p/z coords: allows hFacW,S to be larger than
734        surrounding hFacC=1 @ edge of a step with different kSurfC on either side
735        (topo in p-coords, ice-shelf in z-coords); update output of experiments
736        tutorial_global_oce_in_p and isomip (both AD and OpenAD output).
737    o model/src:
738      - collect momentum forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
739        to apply_forcing S/R); this simplifies mom. Forcing diagnostics and CD_CODE
740        parts in timestep.F (without CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM defined = the default);
741        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., if using OBCS_SPONGE).
742      - collect T & S forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument to
743        apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for temp & salt forcing tendency.
744        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., ocean: if using
745        SHORTWAVE_HEATING ; atmos: if using FrictionHeating or (atm_Rq<>0) moist
746        correction due to vertical advection).
747      - update output of experiments: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (13 digits),
748        global_ocean.cs32x15 (fwd: icedyn, seaice, thsice, all 3 @ 11d; adm & tml:
749        seaice_dynmix & thsice, fwd grd @ 3 & 8), hs94.1x64x5 (ad grd @ 13),
750        obcs_ctrl (ad & fwd grd @ 12 & 7).
751    o pkg/ptracers & diagnostics:
752      - use ptracers (short) name (instead of long one) to make ptracers diagnostics
753        title (to avoid some unexpected truncation); sort out ptracers diags units.
754      - collect ptracer forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
755        to apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for ptracers forcing tendency.
756    
757    checkpoint65 (2014/07/18)
758    o pkg/fizhi:
759      - add parenthesis around fizhi tendencies in fizhi_tendency_apply.F: this
760        affects results at machine truncation level. Update output of experiments
761        fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (12 digits for cg2d) & fizhi-cs-aqualev20 (13 digits).
762    o pkg/seaice: more clean up
763      - rename TAF common block tapes to be more consistent and remove
764        unnecessary duplicates
765      - add store directives to remove more recomputations, but use smaller
766        tapes (and adjust keys) when SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undefined.
767        The idea behind this flag is to reduce the memory footprint when the
768        adjoint of the LSR is not required. As of now, defining the flag
769        SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER increases 4 common block tapes for 2D field by
770        a factor of SOLV_MAX_FIXED (=500 by default in SEAICE_SIZE.h).
771        For experiment offline_exf_seaice, this means on a linux box with gfortran
772        nearly a factor of 10 (but keep in mind there is mostly seaice code in
773        this experiment):
774        > size mitgcmuv_ad
775        text    data        bss     dec        hex
776        5100659 1216  220458952  225560827  d71c8fb
777        5339425 1200 1868783272 1874123897 6fb4dc79 (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
778        but only a moderate increase of 36% for global_ocean.cs32x15:
779        text    data        bss     dec        hex
780        6695027 1648 1014578664 1021275339 3cdf6ccb
781        6695203 1648 1382505320 1389202171 52cd8afb (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
782      - note: there are still recomputations in global_ocean.cs32x15 and
783        offline_exf_seaice and the gradient agreement changes (gets a
784        little worse) for global_ocean.cs32x15 (-> update output_adm.seaice.txt)
785      - in general, the AD gradients still are wrong
786    o OpenAD
787      - clean up code_oad/ directories somewhat by moving files
788        dontCompile, dontTransform, keepOriginal to OAD_support/
789    o model/src:
790      - using MOM fluxform and Non-Lin Free-Surf with momDissip_In_AB=F
791        (not currently tested): add dissipation terms before NLFS rescaling of
792        tendencies (previously done after).
793    o pkg/diagnostics:
794      - write stats-diags in ascii file with more digits (same as in monitor).
795    o pkg/down_slope:
796      - drop the bi,bj dimension of argument recip_hFac in S/R DWNSLP_APPLY; with
797        NLFS (not tested), use new recip_hFac value in order to conserve tracer.
798    o model/src:
799      - new file "apply_forcing.F" containing all the code previously in
800        external_forcing.F, but with new argument list: pass, as new argument,
801        the current level tendency array to update (instead of a direct update
802        of the common bloc array). Change the corresponding calls.
803      - add CPP option USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING (default is undef) to use
804        EXTERNAL_FORCING_U,V,T,S subroutines (for backward compatibility).
805    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr, a little bit of clean up
806      - rearrange some code blocks, so that now all calculations for
807        setting up the right-hand-sides done within one single block
808        (I find that easier to read and understand)
809      - rearrange freedrift-code to reduce the number of ifdefs
810      - adjust some indentations and comments
811    
812    checkpoint64z (2014/07/10)
813    o model/src and several pkgs:
814      - change argument list of all S/R called from external_forcing.F and
815        called from ptracers_forcing.F (renamed to ptracers_apply_forcing.F)
816        to pass, as argument, the current level tendency array to update
817        (instead of a direct update of the common bloc array).
818      - change also (in the same way) argument list of PTRACERS_APPLY_FORCING;
819      - rename taueddy_external_forcing.f to taueddy_tendency_apply.F
820    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
821      - always initialize local arrays in seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
822      - add more local tapes to seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
823      - move storing u/vice(:,:,bi,bj) out of seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, but
824        keep it in bi/bj loop; this seems to be essential
825      - gradients are still wrong but only by 4-7 orders of magnitude
826        instead of 15 orders of magnitude, lab_sea improves a little
827    o pkg/seaice
828      - (pkg/autodiff) remove storing/restoring of seaiceMaskU/V that
829        generates unnecessary code in seaice_lsr_ad
830      - add more store directives in seaice_lsr to avoid unnecessary code
831        in seaice_lsr_ad
832      - exclude some residual computations in seaice_lsr when
833        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC is defined in order to avoid unnecessary code
834        in seaice_lsr_ad
835      - add more storing, a new tape (model/src/the_main_loop.F) and
836        another key for SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA (the local keys ilockey
837        and klockey should be checked by a specialist)
838      - modify ( define SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER )
839        and update lab_sea after previous changes in pkg/seaice below
840    o pkg/autodiff:
841      - introduce useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode, SEAICEapproxLevInAd, and
842        viscFacInAd : run time parameters allowing for adjoint switches
843        note : logic for useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode is in ctrl_readparms.F
844    o pkg/ecco:
845      - introduce cost_gencost_boxmean.F that computes a box mean
846        temperature (for use in adjoint sensitivity studies).
847    o model/src/set_defaults.F : initialize viscFacAdj to 1.
848    o pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_visc.F:
849      - ifdef ALLOW_AUTODIFF then include viscFacAdj factor.
850    o pkg/seaice/seaice_summary.F:
851      - statement for SEAICEadjMODE now in autodiff_readparms.F
852    o pkg/seaice:
853      - remove some store directives and add new ones in an effort to get
854        finally rid off the recomputation warnings. This is successful
855        when SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR ***and*** SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER are
856        defined (i.e. no extensive recomputation warnings left), but there
857        are still too many recomputations on the solver iteration level
858      - define SEAICE_VECTORISZE_LSR in offline_exf_seaice/code_ad/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
859      - move definition of MPSEUDOTIMESTEPS into TAMC-block in
860        SEAICE_SIZE.h
861      - add a store directive in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
862    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
863      - fix definition of Hlimit for multi-threaded case
864      - use double precision arithmetic to compute Hlimit: this affects results;
865        update output of experiment seaice_itd.
866    o replace content of verification/seaice_itd
867      - instead of a 1D column use the configuration of offline_exf_seaice
868        to test the ice thickness distribution code with ridging
869      - this is a first shot at this experiment
870      - change of some defaults of ridging parameters SEAICEhStar (from
871        100 to 25) and SEAICEmuRidging (from 5 to 3) in seaice_readparms.F
872        and lot of new comments.
873    
874    checkpoint64y (2014/06/20)
875    o pkg/seaice/seaice_reg_ridge.F:
876      - modify the regularization of very small volumes of ice; only check
877        total volume HEFF, and do not apply correction to individual ice
878        classes because that leads to funny patterns in the heat and fw-fluxes
879        into the ocean. Adjust seaice_itd/results/output.txt
880      - replace nITD by SEAICE_multDim in loop-ranges
881    o pkg/exf:
882      - add code to process the case field period = -12. with UV interpolation.
883      - move debug print (formerly active when exf_verbose=T) from EXF_getFFieldRec
884        into S/R that calls it (i.e., exf_set_gen.F, exf_set_uv.F & obcs_exf_load.F)
885    o verification/global_with_exf:
886      - switch all fields period to -12. (was previously untested) in input/data.exf
887        (but keep secondary test ".yearly" unchanged); update the reference output.
888    o pkg/cal:
889      - new calendar type "noLeapYear" for 365 days calendar without any leap year.
890    o pkg/exf:
891      - new integer parameter "exf_debugLev" (default set to main model debugLevel)
892        to replace logical switch "exf_verbose"
893      - report in STDOUT when loading a new record (if exf_debugLev >= 3)
894    o pkg/sbo:
895      - update from Katherine Quinn: evaluate mass directly from density and SSH
896        (budget using Finite Volume method) instead of from bottom pressure.
897      - allow testreport to collect few selected SBO output ; tested in exp.
898        global_ocean.90x40x15 (after updating the results, to include SBO output).
899      - fix some multi-threading issues (in output part).
900    o model/src & most packages:
901      - always call {PKG}_READPARMS even if corresponding use{PKG}=F;
902      - in {PKG}_READPARMS, in case use{PKG}=F: add a call to new S/R
903        PACKAGES_UNUSED_MSG to print a weak warning when parameter file
904        "data.{pkg}" exist ; and leave the S/R (return) just after.
905      - more standard LAND pkg interface (land_init_fixed.F, land_check.F).
906        + call LAND_READPARMS from packages_readparms.F
907    o pkg/seaice:
908      - remove code that resets useThSice in S/R seaice_readparms and
909        replace it by a warning in S/R seaice_check
910      - remove parameter MULTDIM, replace with nITD and runtime
911        parameter SEAICE_multDim (still hard-wired to nITD if
912        SEAICE_ITD is defined)
913    
914    checkpoint64x (2014/05/24)
915    o verification/lab_sea:
916      - update adjoint and TLM output following changes to pkg/salt_plume
917      - un-do the update after putting back local recip_Cp in few places.
918    o pkg/salt_plume: modifications by An Nguyen:
919      - add capability to do brine rejection (salt-plume) as function of
920        volume+tracers (instead of only salinity tracer).
921      - conserve volume by exchanging volume from each kLev to above to
922        accommodate in-coming brine volume
923      - store surface and klev exchanged fraction + volume in 4 new 3-d arrays
924      - switch KPP surf buoyancy due to brine forcing to 3-d
925        (3 more 3-d arrays, 2 for SPforcing[T,S], 1 for boplume)
926      - add salt_plume_volfrac, salt_plume_apply, salt_plume_tendency_apply_t
927      - unrelatedly, also add ad-hoc capability to vary salt_plume scheme
928        in East/West Arctic.
929    o pkg/sbo:
930      - incorporate modifications from Katherine Quinn to enable the use of sbo
931        pkg in ECCO-v4 set-up ; remove SBO-TimeAve output ; add monitor-like
932        output for future testreport verification (unfinished).
933    o pkg/atm_phys:
934      - change diagnostics (AtPh_Trf & AtPh_Qrf) of DARGAN_BETTSMILLER S/R:
935        skip the reseting of t_ref & q_ref to initial t & q ; this preserve the
936        output of S/R CAPECALCNEW (Parcel temp & q) for diagnostics.
937    o pkg/seaice
938      seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: modify expression to avoid divisions
939        (affects truncation)
940      seaice_do_ridging.F: clean up the insectarium
941      - fix a bug that was compensated by areaScaling (-> remove areaScaling code)
942      - added SEAICEsnowFracRidge to redistributed snow (2nd bug)
943      - set closing/openingRate to zero where no extra iteration is need (3rd bug)
944      - add some debugging information and error messages (warnings)
945    o model/src: modifications relatd to atmosphere p*:
946      - Switch to more accurate p* coordinate slope term (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F)
947      - With p* or Sigma-P, use constant reference Pot.Temp (thetaConst) instead
948        of vertical profile tRef in geopotential background and anomaly.
949      - Acount for true p* correction in theta <-> T conversion in pkg/aim_v23
950        and pkg/atm_phys.
951      - Update FWD output of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
952        fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, tutorial_held_suarez_cs, cpl_aim+ocn.
953    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in seaice_prepare_ridging.F, forgot a sqrt
954    o pkg/ptracers: compute ptracer source/sink due to linear free surface.
955        not used right now, but can be used in BGC packages to fix conservation.
956    o pkg/dic, pkg/gchem: move tracer_meanarea to gchem, so it can be used by
957        other packages too.
958    o pkg/seaice/seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: replace SEAICE_rhoSnow by
959        SEAICE_rhoIce in the Rothrock (1975)-type strength calculations (bug fix)
960    o model/src:
961      - since we have several heat capacity (even in model/src), define "recip_Cp"
962        as local variable (no longer in common block) to avoid any confusion.
963      - add thetaConst in PARAMS.h (to be used with pStar or sigma-P coords).
964    o pkg/exf:
965      - from Jeff Scott: add option (#define EXF_CALC_ATMRHO) to calculate local
966        air density as function of air Temp, Humidity and atm pressure.
967    
968    checkpoint64w (2014/05/02)
969    o verification:
970      - update output_adm.txt files for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15 (seaice &
971        seaice_dynmix) and lab_sea (primary test & noseaicedyn): moving/changing
972        code from seaice_growth.F & seaice_advdiff.F to new ridging routines
973        seaice_reg_ridge.F seaice_do_ridging.F affects AD gradient
974        (down to 8-7 matching digits for global_ocean and 5-6 for lab_sea).
975    o model/src: for atmosphere in p* coords:
976      - store factor rStarFacC**atm_kappa (= pStarFacK) in common block
977      - implement more accurate p* coordinate slope term (in calc_grad_phi_hyd.F),
978        but not yet activated.
979    o pkg/seaice: fix restart problem for ITD with new ice strength parameterisation:
980      - move computation of opnWtrFrac = 1-AREA to before computing ice strength
981      - this changes the results (but not for any verification experiment, because
982        none tests this), but avoids having an extra field in the restart files
983    o pkg/seaice: remove global variable TICE (not needed)
984      - replace by TICES or local variable where necessary (cost_seaice_test,
985        seaice_diagnostics_state)
986      - move copying TICE to TICES from seaice_check_pickup to seaice_read_pickup
987      - use specific read/write routines for reading and writing individual leves
988        of a multilevel field
989    o pkg/ctrl & model/inc:
990      - move additional anomaly fields of control vars (related to options:
991         ALLOW_KAPGM_CONTROL, ALLOW_KAPREDI_CONTROL and ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL)
992        from DYNVARS.h into new header file: CTRL_FIELDS.h
993    o pkg/seaice: some small modifications to the ridging code
994      - make fw2ObyRidge a global variable and add the freshwater flux to
995        seaice_growth
996      - pass actual thickness from seaice_prepare_ridging, so that it is
997        computed only in one place and compute it in the same way as in
998        seaice_growth
999      - initialise more fields in seaice_do_ridging that where cause floating
1000        point exceptions over land
1001    o pkg/seaice: preparations for ridging code and first real ridging code
1002      - move most of "PART 1" of S/R seaice_growth into a new and separate
1003        S/R seaice_reg_ridge that will both regularize the state variable after
1004        advection call the actual ridging routine;
1005      - requires to make 5 fields global fields: d_HEFFbyNEG,d_HSNWbyNEG,
1006        d_AREAbyRLX,d_HEFFbyRLX,saltFluxAdjust;
1007      - remove ridging code from seaice_advdiff
1008      - clean up remaining part 1 of seaice_growth in an attempt to make it
1009        more readable (this is probably subjective)
1010      - call seaice_itd_redist once in the initialisation phase to have the initial
1011        conditions in the correct category
1012      - finally: add new ridging routine for ITD code
1013    
1014    checkpoint64v (2014/04/11)
1015    o pkg/ecco:
1016      - add runtime parameters mdt[start,end]date[1,2]
1017      - rename variable "tpmean" as "mdt" and "topexmeanfile" as "mdtdatfile"
1018    o pkg/seaice:
1019      - make deltaC a global variable, so that it can be used in ridging code
1020      - first step towards ridging: introduce new routines that compute
1021        ice strength based on ridging parameters
1022      - add diagnostic for HSNOWITD
1023      - add opnWtrFrac as a global variable (required for ridging scheme)
1024    o pkg/salt_plume + pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
1025      - add SALT_PLUME_IN_LEADS flag to activate pkg/salt_plume only when ice
1026        AREA exceeds a threshold (code contributed by I.Fenty in 2011)
1027    o verification/hs94.1x64x5:
1028      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undefined in code_oad/AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h
1029      - do not use ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h anymore for TAF & OpenAD Adjoint tests.
1030    o autodiff:
1031      - Start to include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h,
1032        and CTRL_OPTIONS.h in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h)
1033        For now, only in pkgs used in verification/hs94.1x64x5.
1034      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for tape/storage
1035        which are specific to TAF/TAMC).
1036      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD by ALLOW_OPENAD:
1037        since ALLOW_OPENAD is defined in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h (any time pkg/openad
1038        is compiled), this simplifies/reduces which *_OPTIONS.h file to include.
1039      - OpenAD: change Makefile to generate the appropriate AD_CONFIG.h when
1040        building mitgcmuv_ad (make adAll).
1041    o pkg/ecco:
1042      - cost_gencost_seaicev4.F:
1043         reformulate proxy cost as function of sst and local param SEAICE_freeze
1044         change cost names from siv4-[sst,vol] to siv4-[deconc,exconc]
1045      - add stop statement if old names siv4-[sst,vol] are used
1046      - add snapshots + cost reports for atmospheric longwave
1047      - remove factor 0.1 in front of wtau[u,v]
1048      - replace never used flag ALLOW_TMI_COST_CONTRIBUTION with
1049         ALLOW_TMI_SST_COST_CONTRIBUTION
1050    o pkg/atm_phys:
1051      - add some diagnostics for Short-wave and for convection S/R.
1052    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth:
1053      - fix a bug in the lateral melt parameterization for SEAICE_ITD
1054        in seaice_growth; tempFrz needs to be computed inside the i/j-loop
1055      - rearrange loop order for better vector code in the same code block
1056      - rewrite the floeDiameter formula to have fewer divisions
1057      -  (miraculously) none of this changes the results of seaice_itd
1058    o pkg/smooth:
1059      - move param smooth2Ddiffnbt to pkg/ecco
1060    o pkg/salt_plume:
1061      - salt_plume_frac.F:
1062         clean up local param names
1063         reformulate (1-frac) to frac; original 1-frac was based on swfrac code
1064    o pkg/rw:
1065      - add RS version of S/R READ_MFLDS_LEV.
1066    o pkg/streamice:
1067      - fix the restart test by writing/reading pickup_streamice files.
1068    o pkg/seaice:
1069      - refine checks for jfnk-related parameters
1070      - comment out if statement with SEAICEuseIMEX parameter as long as there
1071        is no IMEX code to avoid confusion and surprises
1072    
1073    checkpoint64u (2014/03/07)
1074    o verification/MLAdjust:
1075      - rename secondary test suffix:
1076         1.leith  -> A4FlxF  + switch to flux-form & add side-drag
1077         0.leithD -> AhFlxF  + switch to flux-form
1078         0.smag   -> AhVrDv  (use Vorticity-Div. visc form) + add side-drag
1079         0.leith  -> AhStTn  (use Strain-Tension visc form) + add side-drag
1080    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
1081      - remove unused arguments from S/R MOM_VI_HDISSIP & MOM_HDISSIP (as it used
1082        to be before mom_calc_visc.F)
1083      - skip the call to MOM_CALC_TENSION & MOM_CALC_STRAIN if not needed.
1084      - add 2nd copy of vort3 & strain that knows about lateral BC (free/no slip):
1085        this is simpler for the adjoint and for diagnostics.
1086    o model/src + pkg/momentum:
1087      - add input files for  2-D additional Western and Southern cell-edge wall
1088         (e.g., to add "thin-wall" where it is =1).
1089      - fix sideDrag option for thin-walls with Non-Lin Free-Surf
1090        using 2nd hFacZ that is computed from initial (fix domain) hFac
1091      - known limitations of thin wall implementation: not yet coded for sigma
1092        coords; not working with CD-scheme neither.
1093    o pkg/seaice:
1094      - rename recently introduced parameters from (wrong name) AB to
1095        BDF (backward difference time discretisation)
1096      - retire runtime parameters SEAICEuseAB2, SEAICE_abEps
1097    o tools/adjoint_options:
1098      - remove setting of "OPENAD=true" (now set by command line "genmake2 -oad")
1099    
1100    checkpoint64t (2014/02/01)
1101    o pkg/ecco
1102      - add compile flag ALLOW_GENCOST_TIMEVARY_WEIGHT in ECCO_OPTIONS.h and
1103        runtime logical flag gencost_timevaryweight to read daily sea-ice sigma
1104      - replace hard-coded record number and period which only work for monthly
1105        with read-in runtime param that works for other periods (month,day,year)
1106    o pkg/thsice
1107      - corrected store directive fixes thsice adjoint gradient checks
1108    o genmake2 & testreport:
1109      - add genmake2 option "-oad" to generate a Makefile for OpenAD built and
1110        in this case, use tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad as default AD optfile.
1111        Update testreport accordingly. No need to set "export OPENAD=true"
1112        in adjoint_options/adjoint_oad anymore (will be removed later).
1113    o pkg/shelfice:
1114      - put T & S shelfice forcing into model surfaceForcing_T,_S (for now,
1115        only if SHELFICEboundaryLayer=F); Change model/src/external_forcing.F
1116        so that surface forcing applies to k=kSurf if using pkg/shelfice.
1117    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk, pkg/ecco:
1118      - Changes to make GENARR more modular (i.e. invisible if not used)
1119    o model/src/temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F
1120      - re-include store directives that were removed on Dec 27th.
1121    o model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
1122      - add storage directives for EmPmR and PmEpR to avoid recomputation of
1123        seaice_model in the adjoint that is problematic when seaice_model is
1124        turned off in the adjoint. The resolved issue dated back to July when
1125        EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF call was moved.
1126        Update global_ocean.cs32x15/*/output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt accordingly.
1127    o pkg/exf/exf_check.F
1128      - fix a small bug again (originally found by Wentao Liu, now found again)
1129      - streamline error output
1130    o pkg/streamice and aim_v23:
1131      - replace a few "_EXCH_XY_RL (" with "_EXCH_XY_RL(", so that
1132        Apple's /usr/bin/cpp knows what to do:
1133        Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
1134        Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
1135    
1136    checkpoint64s (2014/01/05)
1137    o tools/adjoint_options:
1138      - switch to fastopt.net TAF server (instead of default fastopt.de) for
1139        AD optfiles adjoint_diva & adjoint_f95 (similar to adjoint_default).
1140    o model/src:
1141      - remove some unnecessary TAF storage directives in forward_step.F and
1142        in dynamics.F (note: not always removed by TAF, e.g., double storage
1143        of kappaRU,kappaRV in former version of dynamics.F).
1144    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
1145      - call directly GAD_IMPLICIT_R & IMPLDIFF + DWNSLP_APPLY from temp_integrate.F
1146        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (instead of from thermodynamics.F)
1147        and remove ptracers_dwnslp_apply.F & ptracers_implicit.F
1148      - call MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP for each tracer (in ptracers_integrate.F)
1149      - add fZon & fMer as output argument of S/R GAD_CALC_RHS.
1150      - update TAF AD-output of experiments global_ocean.90x40x15 (13 for AD-grad).
1151    o useSingleCpuInput separates single-CPU input from single-CPU output;
1152        for now only implemented for in exf_interp_read.F
1153    o verification/advect_xy:
1154      - fix missing EXCH call in local version of ini_salt.F and update output.
1155    o momentum diagnostics:
1156      - fix which deltaT is used in Total-Tendency diagnostics.
1157      - fix typo in diagnostics for momentum tendency from AB.
1158    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: fix an initialisation bug for the
1159        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA option that lead to NaNs on a NEC-SX8
1160    
1161    checkpoint64r (2013/12/08)
1162    o verification/*/results:
1163      - Update reference output of experiments that were passing with just 13 digits
1164         (make it easier to detect future changes in results)
1165    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
1166      - move calls to GAD_ADVECTION (Multi-Dim advection) from thermodynamics.F to
1167        inside temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F and from ptracers_advection.F
1168        to inside ptracers_integrate.F ; remove ptracers_advection.F
1169    o coupling interface pkgs:
1170        [atm_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf & atm_ocn_coupler]
1171      - change the config check to test the agreement of Ocean Depth
1172        with ATM land/sea mask (instead of ATM orography);
1173      - send to coupler the number of coupler time-steps to do for this run:
1174        this allows to check for consistency and don't need anymore to be
1175        specified in parameter file "data";
1176      in coupler:
1177      - check consistency of RunOff map versus Ocean Depth and ATM land/sea mask.
1178      - improve report to log-file of config setting (pass log-file unit to few S/R)
1179    o pkg/compon_communic:
1180      - add coupling send/receive for non-tiled integer vector;
1181      - add S/R to check and stop if any proc has an error (similar to
1182        eesupp/src/stop_if_error.F but single thread and across Comm_World).
1183    o pkg/exch2:
1184      - in exch2*_get_rx[1,2]: use new list "W2_tileIndex" to replace search
1185        through list of all tiles my proc owns.
1186    o model/src:
1187      - AUTODIFF only: in calc_adv_flow.F, recompute rTransKp (instead of copying
1188        from rTrans) to simplify dependencies (no need to store rTrans anymore in
1189        calling S/R); this affects AD results at machine truncation level:
1190        update AD-output (TAF) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
1191        bottom_ctrl_5x5 & obcs_ctrl (12 digits for AD grad, same FWD grad).
1192    o tools/build_options:
1193      - simplify Warnings options (-ieee & -devel cases) in linux_amd64_gfortran
1194    o coupling interface pkgs:
1195        [compon_communic, atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf]
1196      - move declaration of local array "ibuf" out of header file "CPLR_SIG.h"
1197        to each S/R that needs it; remove un-used variables.
1198      - change component tile registration (cpl_register.F in both compon_interf
1199        and mitcomponent_tile_register.F) to pass the full list of tiles
1200        information (including bi,bj) in 1 vector (instead of in a bi,bj matrix).
1201      - with pkg/exch2: adopt the same convention used for I/O to define mapping
1202        towards coupler global array (unless W2_useE2ioLayOut=F):
1203         a) can now use different tiling between atm & ocn comp.
1204         b) no needs to modify the run-Off map when changing tiling (was needed
1205            even if using the same tiling between atm & ocn).
1206         c) will allow to run with blank-tiles in 1 component (e.g., for ocean
1207            full land tiles); not yet tested.
1208      - check for valid mapping from comp. tile to coupler global array
1209      - improve report of tile registration results to log file.
1210    o pkg/exch2:
1211      - in eesupp/src/eeboot.F: move call to W2_EEBOOT before Coupler
1212        tile-registration (CPL_REGISTER);
1213      - activate (un-comment) definition and setting of "W2_tileIndex" list to
1214        store the local bi,bj indices of each tile;
1215      - also print bi,bj in local report to log file;
1216      - fix pkg/debug/debug_cs_corner_uv.F for the case nSy > 1 (left from
1217        Jun 2009 modif of pkg/exch2).
1218    o testing on baudelaire:
1219      - run 2 tests at a time: no significant slow down (since enough cpu) and
1220        get the full set of test done earlier
1221      - switch the ifort test to "-devel" ; run the OpenAD test everyday.
1222    o model/src/thermodynamics.F and routines called from it:
1223      - pkg/gmredi: gmredi_residual_flow.F (replacing gmredi_calc_uvflow.F &
1224        gmredi_calc_wflow.F) to update eulerian velocity (input) into residual
1225        velocity (outp) by adding bolus velocity.
1226      - model/src: calc_adv_flow.F (replacing calc_common_factors.F) to compute
1227        mass transport from velocity + lateral grid cell area
1228      - rename calc_gt.F to temp_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
1229      - rename calc_gs.F to salt_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
1230     in thermodynamics.F
1231      - remove k from thermodynamics.F and move it to temp_integrate.F
1232        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (now done inside the tracer
1233        loop).
1234      - compute locally (in thermodynamics.F) 3-D velocity field that is used to
1235        advect tracers; pass it as argument to GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
1236        PTRACERS_ADVECTION, TEMP_INTEGRATE, SALT_INTEGRATE, PTRACERS_INTEGRATE,
1237        GAD_IMPLICIT_R and PTRACERS_IMPLICIT
1238      - update AD-output (TAF & OAD) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
1239        global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and
1240        tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ TLM output).
1241    o tools/OAD_support and (verification/*/) code_oad:
1242      - OAD_support/cb2mGetModules.csh: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in header file to
1243        module conversion ; remove unneeded CPP_EEOPTIONS.h.
1244      - code_oad/CPP_OPTIONS.h: remove PACKAGES_CONFIG.h and use a more standard
1245        version (closer to model/inc/CPP_OPTIONS.h).
1246    o model/src:
1247      - remove parameter "useOldFreezing" from PARAMS.h and push it to the
1248        retired list of parameters (routine FREEZE has been replace by surface
1249        freezing (10.yrs ago) and by pkg/frazil (interior freezing).
1250    o pkg/gmredi:
1251      - add option (GM_CALC_TRANSP_FROM_VEL) to compute transport directly from
1252        velocity (same scheme but affects machine truncation) for GM_AdvForm.
1253      - update output of FWD experiments: front_relax.bvp,
1254        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp, global_ocean.cs32x15 and ideal_2D_oce.
1255    
1256    checkpoint64q (2013/11/17)
1257    o verification:
1258      - generate new output on baudelaire (gfortran, -ieee) for OpenAD experiments
1259        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and global_ocean.90x40x15.
1260      - generate new output (growth & melt) for seaice_itd experiment after
1261        updating the input pickup_seaice files (previously wrong).
1262    o pkg/cost:
1263      - define a "final cost function" for each tile, and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
1264        (instead of _GLOBAL_SUM_RL) to get the final cost from all procs & threads:
1265        o this fixes global-sum value if multi-threads (since GLOBAL_SUM_RL
1266          cannot be applied to var in common block).
1267        o allows to get results independent of tile-per-proc setting (if using
1268          slower GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV option).
1269      - update accordingly: seaice_cost_final.F, shelfice_cost_final.F,
1270        thsice_cost_final.F and ecco_cost_final.F (this one affects lab_sea
1271        forward gradients: update output).
1272      - update */code_oad/externalDummies.F by adding dummy GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
1273        S/R and, for most exp., also comment out GLOBAL_SUM_R8.
1274    o pkg/mom_common:
1275      - move to pkg/mom_common and model/src (previously in tutorial_deep_convection
1276        code) 2nd version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code interface: strain and
1277        viscosity are locally declared in dynmics.F and pass as argument to CALC_GW;
1278        ensure that all field value that are used are set.
1279    o tutorial_deep_convection (smag3d):
1280      - add missing scaling in mom_calc_smag_3d.F;
1281      - set smag3D_coeff in input.smag3d such that results do not change.
1282    o pkg/dic:
1283      - change dic_cost.F to compute cost on each tile first and then apply
1284        GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL: this affects forward gradient of AD experiments
1285        tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo; update output.
1286      - remove kLev argument and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL in tracer_meanarea.
1287    o eesupp/src & pkg/mdsio:
1288      - remove gather/scatter_vector.F (from eesupp) and mdsio_read/writevector.F
1289        (from pkg/mdsio) since they are no longer used for tape IO.
1290      - move simple C subroutine "setdir.c" from pkg/compon_communic to eesupp/src
1291        (+ keep a copy in pkg/atm_ocn_coupler).
1292    o verification/isomip:
1293      - split domain in 8 squared tiles (instead of just 2) for FWD, AD & OAD tests.
1294    o tools/build_options:
1295      - optfile linux_amd64_ifort11, fast (no ieee) case:
1296        to get a working restart for all experiments, add "-fp-model source"
1297        to FOPTIM (also remove "-opt-streaming-stores auto" <- this is the default).
1298    
1299    checkpoint64p (2013/10/20)
1300    o pkg/autodiff:
1301      - adread_adwrite.F: when type and length do not match ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
1302        criteria, return to simple (default) tape IO format.
1303    o pkg/mdsio (+ eesupp/src):
1304      - rewrite/simplify tape-IO S/R (new S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_TAPE replace
1305        previous MDSREAD/WRITEVECTOR) with 2 array argument from each type (R4/R8);
1306      - fix globalFile and singleCpuIO options using simpler global mapping.
1307      - new pairs of scatter/gather vector S/R (one for each type, generated from
1308        template) corresponding to simpler global mapping.
1309      - adread_write.F: switch to new S/R (but leave old calls commented) and write
1310        to globalFile when parameter globalFiles is set to True.
1311      - switch on useSingleCpuIO in AD experiments: global_ocean.90x40x15 & isomip.
1312    o pkg/autodiff:
1313      - adread_adwrite.F: add a hack for RS arrays (when RS=real*4);
1314        with ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO defined, since corresponding (real*4) is
1315        missing, just add a STOP if array type do not match.
1316    o pkg/exf:
1317      - to allow to use seaice-fraction from pkg/exf in other pkgs than pkg/seaice:
1318         rename CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX to EXF_SEAICE_FRACTION
1319         and rename array obsSIce to exf_iceFraction.
1320    o tutorial_deep_convection:
1321      - add 1rst version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code (from Louis-Philippe),
1322        for now all in this exp. code dir.
1323      - add secondary test using Smag-3D viscosity (keep very low backgroud visc for
1324        testing) and flux-limter advection scheme for Temp. (no explicit diffusion).
1325    o eesupp/src:
1326      - added SINGLE_DISK_IO option because reading of parameter files on
1327        very large number of processors did not work with existing set-up
1328    
1329    checkpoint64o (2013/09/25)
1330    o pkg/atm_phys & atm_compon_interf:
1331      - allows for coupling of gray-atmosphere (atm_phys) with ocean.
1332    o tools/build_options:
1333      - switch from "-fPIC" to "-mcmodel=medium" in optfiles: linux_amd64_gfortran
1334        & linux_amd64_ifort11 and in linux_amd64_g77 & linux_amd64_open64 also
1335        remove CPP setting (was identical to genmake2 default).
1336    o pkg/gmredi & model/src: Some updating and work done on the residual model.
1337      - created new file model/src/calc_eddy_stress.F to calculate the eddy stress.
1338      - fixed up the calculation of the eddy stress and how it is added to the
1339        external forcing via taueddy_external_forcing.F
1340      - at the moment, it is very experimental and only works with the variable eddy
1341        diffusivity calculated in gmredi_k3d.F
1342    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: add a check to catch the case of specifying
1343        lw/swfluxfile instead of lw/swdownfile in data.exf together with pkg/seaice
1344    o testreport (& tools/do_tst_2+2):
1345      - for MPI test, set default COMMAND to 'mpirun -v -np TR_NPROC ./{executable}'
1346    o tools/build_options: linux_amd64_gfortran & linux_amd64_ifort11:
1347      - remove CPP='cpp -traditional -P' (this is genmake2 default)
1348      - add switch (for big setups) to use 'medium' memory-model (but leave it
1349        commented out for now). Note: needed with FC 19 to compile big setups.
1350    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
1351      - regroup per field origin (model & pkgs) the coupling storage routines
1352         (which accumalate in time each coupling field)
1353      - move bi,bj loops inside atm_store_my_data.F and store also wind-stress;
1354        update accordingly + simplify aim_do_physics.F
1355    
1356    checkpoint64n (2013/08/26)
1357    o pkg/bbl:
1358      - update formulation to reduce dispersion of tracer properties in bbl
1359      - replaced horizontal and vertical transport parameters with velocities
1360      - changes results for verification/global_with_exf.yearly
1361    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
1362      - change to matrix construction; update both Fwd & AD output.
1363    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
1364      - OpenAD test: switch to vector-invariant momentum since fluxform with
1365        rStar causes problems with OpenAD; update output.
1366    o tools:
1367      - genmake2: define a common prefix for all temp-file names ; move them
1368        to local /tmp disk (but would be easy to move them back);
1369      - xmakedepend: apply the same switch for temp-files.
1370    o pkg/offline:
1371      - changes for use with rStar (NLFS): assume that we continue to provide
1372        UVELMASS/hFacW_ini & VVELMASS/hFacS_ini (hFacWi,S_ini as written in grid
1373        output files) and apply r* scaling at each time-step (function of the time
1374        varying Eta field); use normal pickup files (needed for restart with NLFS).
1375    o adjoint with OpenAD:
1376      - move OpenAD-specific files from verification/OpenAD/code_oad_all to a new
1377        package openad.  This package has to be compiled for all runs with OpenAD
1378        instead of specifying code_oad_all as a modification directory.
1379      - link the fortran templates from tools/OAD_support to the build directory
1380        for preprocessing to avoid conflicts between different setups compiled
1381        simultaneously and simplify cleanup.
1382    o pkg/exf:
1383      - in exf_getforcing.F: comment out most of the EXCH calls (fields used by
1384        main model or other pkgs are exchanged in EXF_MAPFIELDS).
1385    o model/src:
1386      - do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F: skip EXCH calls when using pkg/offline
1387        (similar to do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F).
1388    o tools/genmake2:
1389      - remove TAF output src code just before calling staf (when not doing a fresh
1390        built, will stop if things go wrong with staf).
1391      - fix target "adobj" (left from TAF version-2 transition)
1392  o pkg/diagnostics:  o pkg/diagnostics:
1393    - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;    - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;
1394      this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check      this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check
