5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o autodiff
8      Change default for TAF usage by removing argument '-nonew_arg'
9      This changes TAF subroutine argument list (ordering of active var.)
10      Omission of this flag leads to incompatibility w.r.t. TAMC
11      To restore TAMC-compatibility, need following modifs:
12      * use adoptfile tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_tamc_compatibility
13      * use CPP option #define AUTODIFF_TAMC_COMPATIBILITY
14      Tested TAF version is 1.9.22
15      N.B.: exch2 hand-written adjoint code currently not TAMC compatible
16    
17    checkpoint60
18    --->>> This is the last checkpoint for which generating the adjoint
19    --->>> is done via the TAMC-compatibility TAF-flag "-nonewarg"
20    --->>> by default.
21    --->>> Future checkpoints will ommit this flag by default.
22    o pkg/generic_advdiff, os7mp: simplify and avoid division by zero.
23    o pkg/grdchk: Add gradient check to etan0 perturbations.
24    o pkg/exf: read ice area from file (#ifdef ALLOW_ICE_AREAMASK).
25    o pkg/autodiff: more flexibility in zeroadj.
26      model/src: modifying do_oceanic_phys.F accordingly.
27    o pkg/ctrl: Bounds for (kapgm,kapredi,eddypsi) parameter estimation.
28    o model/src and pkg/gmredi: GMREDI_WITH_STABLE_ADJOINT CPP option
29      special setup of gmredi for which the adjoint is stable
30      enough for parameter optimization.
31    o bridging the gap between eddy stress and GM.
32      -> eddyTau is replaced with eddyPsi (eddyTau = f x rho0 x eddyPsi)
33          along with a change in CPP option (now ALLOW_EDDYPSI).
34      -> when using GM w/ GM_AdvForm:
35          The total eddy streamfunction (Psi = eddyPsi + K x Slope)
36          is applied either in the tracer Eq. or in momentum Eq.
37          depending on data.gmredi (intro. GM_InMomAsStress).
38      -> ALLOW_EDDYPSI_CONTROL for estimation purpose.
39      The key modifications are in model/src/taueddy_external_forcing.F
40      pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_*F pkg/gmredi/gmredi_*transport.F
41    
42    checkpoint59r
43    o new S/R (pkg/mdsio/mdsio_facef_read.F) reading of sNx+1 x sNy+1 array
44      from per-face file (take S/R READSYMTILE_RS out of ini_curvilinear_grid.F);
45      fix option to read coriolis(@ cell-corner) from files with CS-grid.
46    o pkg/mnc: add some attributes to standard 1D-coordinate variables
47    o pkg/diagnostics: enforce missing_value attribute for scalar variables at
48      mass points, when using mnc for output
49      - add runtime parameter (missing_value, missing_value_int) to override
50        default (which is the value of getcon('UNDEF'))
51    o pkg/mnc: prepare mnc for the actual use of missing values with the
52      diagnostics package: small fix in mnc_cw_readwrite.template and more
53      initialisation of never used fields
54      - replace mnc_common.h and mnc_id_header.h with corresponding upper case
55      versions
56    o pkg/thsice/thsice_ini_vars.F added default initial values so that
57      thermodynamics sea ice solver does not blow up when some initial fields
58      are missing.
59    o move from external_forcing_surf.F to ini_forcing.F
60      the p-coord. hack consisting in using pLoad to set phi0surf ;
61      update output of tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
62    o Freshen up a bit hs94.1x64x5, notably:
63      remove rotationPeriod and tRef=5*0. (adjoint only), and add
64      exactConserv=.TRUE.
65    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
66      change option GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT to GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV which only
67      applies to files where Temperature & Salinity 2nd Order moments are used.
68    o pkg/ptracers: add second-order moment advection schemes (80 and 81);
69      this uses a dynamically allocated internal state data structure
70      (#define PTRACERS_ALLOW_DYN_STATE in PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h)
71      and requires a fortran 90 compiler
72    
73    checkpoint59q
74    o pkg/mom_vecinv: Add energy & enstrophy conserving scheme (selectVortScheme=3)
75       (from Sadourny, described by Burridge & Haseler, ECMWF Rep.4, 1977)
76    o Refresh tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, notably:
77      - change bathymetry (put back seamounts in ACC, use hFacs)
78      - change EOS (POLY3 --> JMD95Z)
79      - use Bryan-Lewis vertical diffusivity
80      - use multidimensional advection
81      - remove old virtual virtual in dic pkg, now done through ptracer pkg
82      - change a couple of parameters in dic pkg
83    o pkg/ctrl: change formula in adctrl_bound.F and add a parameter to ctrl_map_ini_gen.F
84    o pkg/obcs: change default to OBCSfixTopo = .true.,
85      - set OBCSfixTopo=.false. in exp4/input/data.obcs to reproduce old result
86      - replace "debugMode" with "debugLevel .GE. debLevB"
87    o implementation of TAF directives for gchem,cfc,dic
88    o remove "exp5" (replaced by tutorial_deep_convection).
89    o pkg/obcs: add code to fix topography gradients normal to open boundaries;
90      this requires computing the index fields OB_Jn/Js/Ie/Iw in obcs_readparms;
91      the code can be turned on by setting OBCSfixTopo = .true. in data.obcs
92      --> changes results in exp4, seaice_obcs
93    o tutorial_deep_convection :
94      update the set-up and increase resolution and domain size ; start
95      from pseudo initial conditions = output at t=120mn in order to see
96      something happening when running testreport.
97    o pkg/seaice: add os7mp as an advection scheme
98                  add check for advection schemes
99                  add a flag for restoring T and S underneath sea ice
100    o pkg/my82: add netcdf-support and diagnostics
101    o thsice pkg:
102      - Now hsMax limits snow height by turning it into ice following
103        flooding scheme (and now conserving energy)
104      - Slight rewriting of the formula in thsice_calc_thick.F
105      - Parameter rhowi eliminated to be replaced by floodFac = (rhosw-rhoi)/rhos
106      --> changes results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn and global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
107    
108    checkpoint59p
109    o gchem / dic / cfc :
110      - add useDIC, useCFC , read from "data.gchem" (& hold in GCHEM.h);
111      - add new parameter files: "data.dic" & "data.cfc" ;
112      - various re-arrangement in initialisation & header file ;
113      - fix tutorial_global_oce_biogeo for multi-threaded test.
114    o pkg/dic: test for "pickup_dic" file when restarting ;
115      if no pickup-file, can restart with a re-initialised pH (same as it did
116      before) providing pickupStrictlyMatch is set to False.
117    o change argument list of S/R PTRACERS_WRITE_PICKUP & MYPACKAGE_WRITE_PICKUP
118      + fix call to S/R GGL90_WRITE_PICKUP & DIC_WRITE_PICKUP
119    o add a "warning" (to Error msg file) when an Active Tracer is not using AB-2
120      and staggerTimeStep is off (needed for stability of Internal-wave dynamics).
121    o move out of PARAMS.h & data the last pieces of old-ptracer code: tauTr1ClimRelax,
122     & lambdaTr1ClimRelax ; put those 2 params in PTRACERS_PARAMS.h & data.ptracers
123       (note: not clear to me what lambdaTr1ClimRelax is still used for ...)
124    o pkg/mom_vecinv: - new parameter "selectVortScheme" to select which
125       scheme to use for vorticty-term ;
126     - compute upwindVorticity=T case within mom_vi_u/v_coriolis_c4.F
127       (with default selectVortScheme, return to original discretisation)
128     - remove weird combination (e.g.: upwindVorticity & highOrderVorticity)
129    o pkg/seaice: add a line to the summary to indicate grid type (B/C)
130    o in mom_calc_visc, fix average value of viscAh_W & viscA4_W next to the
131      bottom ; only used with variable horizontal viscosity and non-hydrostatic.
132      also fix diagnostics VISCAHW & VISCA4W.
133    
134    checkpoint59o
135    o dome/code/obcs_calc.F: avoid division by zero (detected using gfortran).
136    o change the loop ordering in most gad_*_adv_x.F to improve vectorization:
137      move a few statemens out the main loop into separate loops
138    o pkg/shelfice:
139      - sort out freshwater flux; convert freshwater fluxes to mass fluxes
140        (kg/m^2/s), does not break tests, because in verification/isomip,
141        rhoConstFresh=rhoConst (by accident)
142      - rearrange computation of tLoc, sLoc, pLoc to make code more efficient
143      - move S/R find_rho_scalar, pkg/ecco/sw_ptmp.F, pkg/ecco/sw_adtg.F into
144        new file model/src/seawater.F, so that they are available for all pkgs.
145      - convert potential temperature into in-situ temperature. This changes the
146        isomip tests => update tests
147    o add a flag writePickupAtEnd (default=true) to be able to suppress
148      writing a pickup at the last timestep
149    o tools/mpack-1.6 :
150      - disable automake (not working) and autoconf (not needed).
151      - update to version 1.6.4 which fix MD5 code on some 64 bits platforms
152        also cleaner with much less compilation warnings.
153    o pkg/profiles:
154      rename profiles_interp_mean_genericgrid as profiles_interp_mean_gg
155      (for "less than 32 characters name" compiler requirement)
156    o pkg/obcs and pkg/exf: added capability to specify seaice open boundary
157      conditions that have a different sampling frequency than S/T/U/V obcs
158    o pkg/diagnostics (stats-diags):
159      - fix global Min/Max in case 1 processor get only empty tiles
160    o genmake2: replace (4 times)
161         make genmake_tc_1.o >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
162      with
163         COMM="$CC $CFLAGS -c genmake_tc_1.c"
164         echo $COMM >> genmake_warnings
165         $COMM >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
166      to make genmake2 always see the value of CC as specified in the optfile.
167    o generic_advdiff: - prather advection scheme (SOM) coded for CS-grid.
168      - add diagnostics for 1srt & 2nd Order moments and sub-grid variance.
169      - modify verification advect_cs test to test SOM-advection on CS-grid.
170    o pkg/ctrl:
171      - Rewrite of ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F,
172        introducing a generic routine (ctrl_map_ini_gen.F).
173      - Modification of ctrl_bound/adctrl_bound handling control vector bounds.
174    
175    checkpoint59n
176    o pkg/diagnostics: for large number of diagnostics, store diagnostic mate
177      number in dedicate array "hdiag":
178      - new version of S/R DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST : DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST
179        with 1 more argument (mate number); modify old version DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST.
180      - many small changes (integer format) for large number of diagnostics
181      - start to use DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST (necessary for diagnostics with
182        a counter mate) in pkg diagnostics, ptracers, thsice & aim_v23.
183    o add parameter rotateGrid and Euler angles EulerPhi/Theta/Psi. For
184      usingSphericalGrid, this allows to define the rotated grid coordinates
185      via phiMin/thetaMin/dxSpacing/dySpacing, etc., but then re-compute the
186      geographical coordinates according to the inverse of the rotation defined
187      by the Euler angles, so that Coriolis parameter and online-interpolation by
188      exf works with the geographical coordinates on XC/YC/XG/YG.
189      Naturally, this feature does not work with all packages, so some
190      combinations are prohibited in config_summary (flt, flt_zonal, ecco,
191      profiles), because there the coordinates are assumed to be regular
192      spherical grid coordinates.
193    o pkg/gmredi,ctrl,ecco,autodiff,grdchk and model/src,inc:
194      - introduce isopycnal diffusion coefficient control.
195    o tools/adjoint_options:
196      - additional control vector components.
197    o pkg/mnc: have mnc create marginally meaning full coordinate variables
198      (that is the grid indices) if usingCurvilinearGrid and NOT EXCH2
199    o pkg/mypackage:
200      - add example of read/write pickup for state-var ;
201      - add entry points to the main code for state-vars diags & write-pickup.
202    o pkg/exf: rewrite of exf_getffieldrec.F to properly deal with year
203      transitions for useExfYearlyFields
204      - add new subroutine that determines the file to read from for
205        use*YearlyFields = .TRUE. and .FALSE.
206      - add a verification experiment to global_with_exf that tests
207        useExfYearlyFields with USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION defined
208    o pkg/obcs/exf: add useOBCSYearlyFields (=.FALSE.) to obcs with exf in
209      analogy to useExfYearlyFields; rearrange obcs_prescribe_read: two new
210      subroutines (which could be generated from a template, because they are
211      almost identical), for now they are included in obcs_prescribe_read.F for
212      simplicity
213    o pkg/exf:
214      - add a little more diagnostic to exf_interp_read (in analogy to
215        mds_read_field, can be turned off with debugLevel < debugLevA=1)
216      - improve vectorizability of exf_interp for TARGET_NEC_SX, makes code
217        ugly but fast by unrolling short inner loops, inserting a unroll=8
218        directive in routine lagran, and splitting a loop and making do while the
219        outermost loop (the latter requires the intoduction of index arrays)
220    o pkg/obcs: replace obcs_apply_area/heff/hsalt/hsnow with obcs_apply_seaice
221    o pkg/seaice: moved DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE from seaice_model to seaice_dynsolver
222      http://forge.csail.mit.edu/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2008-January/003173.html
223    o verification/seaice_obcs: updated for restart test and latest options
224    o pkg/seaice: add a new flag SEAICEuseTEM to use a slightly different
225      ice rheology (so-called truncated ellipse, that gets rid of tensile stress);
226      for now this is only available for the C-grid code and also within
227      #ifdef SEAICE_ALLOW_TEM, because this option may slow down the EVP code
228    
229    checkpoint59m
230    o pkg/seaice: use different time constant for melting (SEAICE_gamma_t)
231      and freezing (SEAICE_gamma_t_frz) ice due to mixed layer temperature
232    o gad_som : fix flux output (& diagnostics) to have same units as other  
233      advection scheme fluxes (was previously multiplied by deltaT).  
234    o added verification/seaice_obcs both to test seaice open boundaries
235      and to provide an example matlab scrpt for generating them
236    o added verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume for testing pkg/salt_plume
237    o pkg/salt_plume: clean up salt_plume_frac.F to
238      remove redundancy in PlumeMethod 1 and 4
239    o pkg/kpp: added saltplume diagnostics
240    o pkg/obcs and pkg/seaice:
241      - do not set uice and vice to zero when OB*icefile are unspecified
242      - OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE is undefined by default
243      - moved seaice tracer obcs after call to seaice_growth
244    o pkg/salt_plume: added various options for salt plume depth
245      criterion and for vertical distribution of the salt
246    
247    checkpoint59l
248    o pkg/ptracers: new version of ptracers pickup:
249      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
250      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
251    o pkg/seaice:
252      - add timescale for melting due to warm mixed layer as a means of
253        setting SEAICE_availHeatFrac more conveniently
254      - add a CPP-flag/runtime parameter check for flooding algorithm
255      - reformulated availHeat in seaice_growth.F to be independent of AREA
256    o change units attribute of EmPmR netcdf variables to kg/m^2/s to reflect recent
257      unit changes
258    o pkg/obcs: added OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE constraint
259    o cg2d.F: add 3 compiler directives that speed up this routine by 30% on a NEC
260      SX vector computer.
261    o pkg/seaice:
262      - removed SEAICE_FFIELDS.h and seaice_get_forcing.F
263        seaice forcing fields can now be read only through pkg/exf
264      - removed some unused halos
265    o no longer write pickup from THE_MODEL_MAIN but always from FORWARD_STEP
266    o pkg/exf: added useRelativeWind EXF_PARAM.h option for subtracting U/VVEL
267      or U/VICE from U/VWIND before computing U/VSTRESS
268    
269    checkpoint59k
270    o pkg/seaice: ICE2WATR=SEAICE_rhoIce/rhoConst for consistency between
271      dynamics and thermodynamics. Set ICE2WATR=0.92 to reproduce older results.
272    o fix un-initialised variable problem (in mom_vecinv & shap_filt):
273      all experiments pass when compile with un-initialised var. checking option.
274    o added pkg/salt_plume
275    o script to test restart (for now, in MITgcm_contrib/jmc_script)
276    o pkg/seaice: new read/write pickup version.
277      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
278      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
279    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in seaice_ocean_stress (call of seaice_calc_strainrates)
280    o lab_sea.hb87: modify the domain & update output.hb87.txt :
281      lat-long grid & no-slip BC in seaice-dynamics produce different sigma12
282      at j=1 & j=Ny+1 : this case is not treated correctly in the restart
283      process. Fixed here by closing the domain at the Northern boundary.
284    o pkg/rw: cleaning-up: call directly new MDSIO S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD.
285    o pkg/mdsio: add new arguments to MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD for reading/writing
286      a set of consecutive levels in/from a 3-D array.
287    o pkg/ptracers:
288      use a 2 characters string ioLabel to identify tracer (if more than 99 tracers).
289      to-do: fix pkg/diagnostics when large number of diagnostics are defined.
290    
291    checkpoint59j
292    o in pkgs: dic, obcs, offline, rbcs:
293      standard way to compute coeff. for time interpolation between 2 time reccords
294      which retains full precision (& make results less dependent on compiler).
295      update output of exp: tutorial_cfc_offline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
296    o pkg/cfc: if compiled with exf and seaice, cfc now can use fields from those
297      packages instead of reading ice cover and wind speed separately
298    o split PTRACERS.h in 2 header files: PTRACERS_FIELDS.h & PTRACERS_PARAMS.h
299     (keep a temporary version of PTRACERS.h in verification/OpenAD/code_ad_openad
300      to allow to compile customized code before the update)
301    o cleaning-up:
302      - fix CPP instruction syntax in pkg/obcs
303      - replace (some) call to MDSIO S/R with call to RW interface S/R ; and
304        add #ifdef ALLOW_MDSIO elsewhere (allows to compile without pkg/mdsio)
305      - fix some threads issue in IO parts.
306    o pkg/dic:
307      - add tons of "_d 0" (--> much better testreports !)
308       and then update outputs of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
309    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
310      add a special version of momentum advection intended to conserve momentum
311      next to a bathymetry step or a coastline edge. (default = off = #undef)
312    o new read/write pickup version:
313      - for now, only implemented for main (mdsio) pickup file.
314      - write out only what is needed to restart; merge pickup_nh , pickup_ph
315        and main pickup together.
316      - read meta file; read only what is needed to restart; stop if a field
317        is missing (if pickupStrictlyMatch=T, = the default) or try to restart
318        if it make sense (even if the restart is not perfect).
319      - if no meta file, assume that pickup to read corresponds exactly to
320        a pickup that would currently be written.
321      - read pickup written in the old format (until checkpoint59i) if it
322        recognizes an old meta file (no field-list).
323      - add a meta file in exp. which starts from a pickup: 2 cases:
324        a) minimal meta file (with just file precision) + pickupStrictlyMatch=F
325         e.g.: global_ocean.90x40x15/input/pickup.0000036000.meta
326        b) a meta file describing the content of the associated pickup file
327         e.g.: tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/input/pickup.0004248000.meta
328    o pkg/mdsio & pkg/rw:
329      - new routine to read a meta file ; new set of routine to read
330        Multiple-fields file (with meta file).
331    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice
332        HSNOW, HSALT, UICE, and VICE
333    
334    checkpoint59i
335    o adjoint:
336      * fix multiDimAdvection adjoint
337        (partial recomputation problem by TAF for fVerT(:,:,kDown)
338        and comlev1 size definition (maxpass vs. max. number of tracers)
339      * verification/global_ocean.90x45x15 adjoint now tests
340        NLFS and multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
341      * verification/lab_sea now tests multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
342    o pkg/kpp: add "_d 0" to real constant (if missing);
343      update output of exp: natl_box (10.digits); vermix (std, 7.digits)
344      and lab_sea, 3.FW (only 6,4,6 digits match) & AD (8.digits).
345    o prepare for "clever pickup" implementation: add new header file "RESTART.h"
346      for internal parameters related to restart process (formerly from PARAMS.h)
347      and add startAB parameter to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
348    o more standard interface to {PKG}_WRITE_PICKUP with pickup suffix passed
349      as argument. (only atm2d & obcs write_pickup have not yet been updated)
350    o pkg/monitor:
351      - use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE instead of _GLOBAL_SUM
352      - fix mon_stats_rs (statistics over the full domain, even where field is zero)
353      - account for deep Atmosphere factor and density factor (anelastic)
354    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice HEFF and AREA
355    o pkg/shelfice: add option for convservative form of Hellmer&Olbers (1989)
356      thermodynamics
357      - requires a little reorganization, which affects the testreport results
358        of isomip.htd (only 7 digits of cg2d agree) => update/modify experiment,
359        so that now the conservative form is tested
360      - add a few comments
361    o add missing cvs Header: or Name: in eesupp/*, pkg/* & verification/code*
362    o add a little bit of code to gad_os7mp_adv_?.F to help vectorization
363    o add new diagnostics to seaice: advective, diffusive fluxes (only for
364      multidim-advection, for scheme 2 they are not filled) and transports,
365      thermodynamic growth rates
366    o change units of EmPmR (inside the code, + within coupling interface)
367      from m/s to kg/m2/s (mass flux) but leave input file unchanged.
368      Affects results @ truncation level (cg2d match) and update output of
369       experiments: lab_sea(6), global_ocean.90x40x15(10),
370      global_ocean.cs32x15(11x3,10), natl_box(11), tutorial_global_oce_latlon(11)
371      + adjoint results: global_ocean_ebm(11) and lab_sea (12).
372      Coupled set-up: allow to restart from previous pickups (cpl_oldPickup=T).
373      Next: will retire convertEmP2rUnit (simply using mass2rUnit instead).
374    
375    checkpoint59h
376    o pkg/exf:
377      - improve vectorization by moving if-statement out of loops in
378        exf_mapfields, exf_radiation
379      - exf_bulkformulae.F: introduce 2D fields and vectorize code
380    o pkg/kpp: added the salt plume scheme (ALLOW_SALT_PLUME) to KPP package
381    o testreport:
382      - allow to test for Qnet & SeaIce monitor output; clean-up ALLOW_BULK_OFFLINE
383        monitor & update offline_exf_seaice exp. output.
384      - AD testing: pass/FAIL according to Grad. output accuracy (instead of Cost)
385    o pkg/seaice:
386      - bug fix in the evp solver: boundary conditions were affected be
387        masking of zMax/zMin (changes results)
388      - minor bug fix in boundary conditions in seaice_calc_strainrates
389        (changes results for no_slip)
390      - seaice_lsr.F: make interpolation of eta dependent on boundaries
391      - replace hardcoded lower limit for zeta (zMin) by runtime parameter
392      - add a test to lab_sea, that tests the Hibler and Bryan (1987) ocean
393        stress formulation and no-slip boundary conditions
394    o pkg/ptracers: Temporary fix for PTRACERS_useGMRedi & PTRACERS_useKPP
395      in gad_calc_rhs.F ; add few safety stops in initialisation phase.
396    o pkg/seaice: a first HSALT time stepping equation has been checked in
397    o pkg/seaice: replaced maskW with seaiceMaskU and maskS with seaiceMaskV
398      in seaice_lsr.F; this solves the pkg/seaice-pkg/obcs problem
399      without requiring DO-IF statements
400    o pkg/thsice:
401      use continuous power-law function for partition of energy between lateral
402      melting/freezing and thinning/thickening ; old code using step function
403      still available with #undef THSICE_FRACEN_POWERLAW
404      update output of exp: aim.5l_cs.thSI, global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn & .thsice
405    o testreport: change AD testing : check against results/output_adm.txt
406      using same scripts as for forward test.
407    
408    checkpoint59g
409    o adjoint testing: in preparation for changing testreport:
410      - output format: cost and grad written on separated lines
411      - ad output results in directory "results" (instead of "results_ad")
412    o pkg/seaice: adding ice salinity HSALT as a prognostic variable
413    o pkg/seaice: changes for using pkg/seaice with pkg/obcs
414    o pkg/ecco: allow user defined cost function contributions
415    o testreport:
416      Allow to choose (per experiment) the list of tested output variables
417       and the main variable (used to issue a pass/FAIL ) ;
418      - for now, done by adding the specific list in file: [exp]/input/tr_checklist
419      - default is unchanged: >cg2d< , (T,S,U,V,5 tracers)_[min,max,mean,StD] ;
420      Also modify printing of summary:
421       a) ">" NN "<" indicates the "main" variable (used for pass/FAIL)
422       b) echo the list of tested variables in the individual summary.txt of
423          each experiment.
424    o new S/R GLOBAL_SUM_TILE to compute global sum independently of number of
425      threads and number of processes (with #define GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV)
426      (but still depend on the tile decompostion of the domain).
427    o pkg/seaice: change a discretization detail to make the B-grid code
428      "more symmetric". This change is likely to remove all "ridges/leads" that
429      where quasi-aligned with the grid in B-grid solutions. It may also be
430      the solution to the stress coupling issues with the B-grid.
431    o each tested exp: add a "run" directory with a standard ".cvsignore" file ;
432      remove .cvsignore from input dir. (since testreport no longer run here).
433    o pkg/thsice:
434     - cleaning: move common block out of "THSICE_2DYN.h" (removed) to "THSICE_VARS.h"
435     - fix reshaping of sea-ice just after advection:
436       melt all the ice only if ice-volume is too small.
437     - re-visit lateral/thinning repartition of melting (modifs from May 04, 2007):
438       prevent lateral melting if sea-ice fraction is too close to iceMaskMin ;
439     and update experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (+start from pickup files).
440    o external_forcing_surf : extend the use of salt_EvPrRn & temp_EvPrRn (fresh-water
441      tracer content) to linFS or no RealFreshWaterFlux ; default remains unchanged.
442    o define mass2rUnit & rUnit2mass as units conversion factor, used for surface
443      forcing. mass2rUnit: from mass per unit area [kg/m2] to r-coordinate unit
444      (z-coord: =1/rhoConst ; p-coord: =gravity) ; rUnit2mass is just the reverse;
445      and remove horiVertRatio (& recip_horiVertRatio). Affects truncation error
446      of exp. global_oce_in_p: 10 16 16 14 16 13 16 16 16 13 13 13 16 13 13 12 16
447      -> update output.txt
448    o pkg/cd_code: add brackets in multiple terms sum (S/R CD_CODE_SCHEME):
449     this affects truncation error: -> update output.txt of exp:
450      global_ocean.90x40x15 (fw&adm), lab_sea (fw&adm) & lab_sea.lsr,
451      ideal_2D_oce, isomip.htd, natl_box, tutorial_global_oce_latlon.
452    
453    checkpoint59f
454    o pkg/autodiff: zero_adj resets an ajoint variable to zero (in adjoint mode)
455    o pkg/ctrl: ctrl_bound  forces parameter corrections to stay in
456      a bounded range (in forward mode)
457    o pkg/ecco, ctrl, autodiff and mom_common:
458     internal parameter controls, completements of implementations
459    o add few EXCH S/R (UV_BGRID, UV_DGRID, SM) for B & D-Grid velocity & 2nd Moment Sxy.
460    o use UV_BGRID exch for dxV,dyU: for now, only with pkg/exch2 & forward ;
461      (not seem any difference in testing results).
462    o pkg/cd_code: use the right EXCH calls (for CS-grid); but problem remains
463       at face corners.
464    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
465     - in GAD.h, define as parameters (iMinAdvR,iMaxAdvR,jMinAdvR,jMaxAdvR)
466      loop range indices for computing vertical advection tendency
467      and do the calculation in the interior only (no overlap) ;
468      for now, only implemented for SOM advection (to save CPU time).
469     - add argument "withSigns" to S/R FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL (needed for SOM_xy moment)
470    o exch2 adjoint
471      First set of changes:
472      - add exch2 hand-written adjoint templates
473      - exch2 hand-written no longer use TAF-flag 'nownew_arg'
474        This will require cleanup in pkg/autodiff/*.F
475        (changed routines currently kept separate in verif. code/)
476      - Comment all relevant #ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
477        that used to hide exch2 or cubed-sphere specific code
478        (commented via 'cph-exch2')
479    o pkg/seaice
480      - Close southern and western boundaries for UICE/VICE when useOBCS=.TRUE.
481    o pkg/bulk_force: fix loading into Qsw of Short-Wave flux; and update
482       output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice .
483    
484    checkpoint59e
485    o exch2: new S/R that only use the cube-tracer (center-position) exchange:
486      for B-grid vector (not yet tested) and C-grid vector (<- only used
487      when option W2_USE_R1_ONLY in W2_OPTIONS.h is defined).
488    o starting implementation of Duffy et al. (GRL 1999) salt plume scheme
489      (#ifdef ALLOW_SALT_PLUME)
490    o gather_2d/scatter_2d: removed halo regions
491    o gmredi: add option (GM_taper_scheme='fm07') for Ferrari & McWilliams 2007
492      scheme and the corresponding test case (under front_relax dir). For now,
493      only available with Skew-flux form and not yet tested in realistic set-up.
494      adjoint: store directives updated, but gradient checks deteriorated,
495      so maybe GM/Redi adjoint is now broken.
496    o seaice adjoint
497      * add AREA, HEFF, HSNOW as control variable
498        (should not change lab_sea results)
499      * CTRL_OPTIONS.h needs new flag: CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_40
500    o pkg/seaice:
501      * added computation of saltFlux in seaice_growth;
502        For time being, sea ice salinity is assumed constant
503        contribution of snow flooding to freshening of sea ice is neglected.
504        SEAICE_salinity is set in SEAICE_PARM01 of data.seaice and it
505        defaults to 0.0 in order to maintain backward compatibility.
506        Typical values for SEAICE_salinity are 4 to 10 g/kg.
507      * replaced dRf(1) with dRf(kSurface)*hFacC(kSurface) in seaice_growth.F
508      * added SEAICE_availHeatFrac, which specifies fraction of surface level
509        heat content used to melt or grow ice
510      * commented out cap of HICE: it helps keep ice thinner
511      * reintroduced cap of HEFF via MAX_HEFF and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF option
512      * applied OBCS T/S mask to HEFFM sea ice mask
513    
514    checkpoint59d
515    o standard name: {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_STATE to fill diagnostics array
516     for {PKG} state variables, and called from DO_STATEVARS_DIAGS.
517     (keep {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_FILL for non-state variables diagnostics)
518    o pkg/gmredi (gmredi_readparms.F): add some missing "_d 0"
519     and change default value of parameter "GM_Small_Number";
520     update output of exp: lab_sea (x2), cfc_example, global_ocean.90x40x15,
521       global_ocean.cs32x15 (x4), global_ocean_ebm, global_with_exf,  
522       tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_global_oce_latlon
523    o pkg/ecco: cost function when applying pkg/smooth to controls
524    o pkg/ctrl: add forcingPrecond run time parameter
525    o pkg/seaice:
526     - replace ZMIN=4.e8 with ZMIN=0. in dynsolver.F as in C-grid code
527     - fix bug in metric terms of u-equation in LSR solver (implicit part),
528       changes verification/lab_sea
529     - rearrange implicit part of u-equation in LSR solver to make it easier to
530       read, understand, and debug. This causes changes at the truncation level.
531     - fix (serious) bug in the boundary conditions (sign error in the implicit
532       part) of the LSR solver. Changes all LSR results.
533     - fixed problem with HSNOW initialization to avoid thick snow when AREA
534       is initilized with small values - does not change lab_sea results.
535     - added HsnowFile initialization capability
536    o pkg/smooth: addition to model/src and pkg/ctrl so allow
537     initialization of pkg/smooth and application to control vector
538    o pkg/seaice: fix another bug in the LSR no-slip boundary conditons
539    o dependencies: pkg/profiles requires pkg/cal
540    o pkg/profiles:
541     - added option ALLOW_PROFILES_GENERICGRID
542         -> pkg/profiles can thus be used with any grid (e.g. cs32x15) assuming
543         that interpolation information (grid points and coefficients) is provided
544         within the netcdf input files.
545         -> sample matlab scripts can be found in MITgcm_contrib/gael
546         that allow you to prepare netcdf input files.
547     - also modified: cleaner include statements, cleaner error print statements,
548       cleaner stops when error, and more tests of the netcdf input files consistency.
549    o additional test (in global_ocean.cs32x15) using seaice+thsice pkgs.
550    o pkg/seaice:
551     - move seaice-diagnostics from seaice_do_diags to do_statevars_diags; this
552       requires a new routine: seaice_diagnostics_fill.F
553     - make sure that seaice does not move if not forced (pressure replacement
554       method, Hibler and Ip, 1995), changes results
555     - and new damping criterion for EVP solver according to Hunke, JCP, 2001
556     - SEAICE_evpDampC = > 0. turns it on (615. is the recommended value).
557       It is turned off by default (=-1.), because it changes the results.
558     - make it possible to read AREA from a file, too.
559    
560    checkpoint59c
561    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
562    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
563    o pkg/thsice:
564     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
565      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
566    o pkg/obcs:
567     - bug fix for balance code
568    o pkg/seaice:
569      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
570      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
571        to SEAICE_elasticParm
572      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
573      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
574      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
575      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
576    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
577      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
578        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
579        clipping or linear tappering.
580      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
581      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
582        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
583      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
584    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
585    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
586      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
587    o adjoint:
588      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
589      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
590      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
591      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
592    
593    checkpoint59b
594    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
595      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
596    o pkg/seaice:
597      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
598        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
599      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
600      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
601      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
602        better
603    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
604      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
605    o pkg/exf:
606      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
607      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
608      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
609      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
610        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
611    o pkg/seaice:
612      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
613      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
614        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
615    o pkg/exf:
616      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
617      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
618      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
619        to the main code ;
620      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
621        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
622        previous code.
623        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
624      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
625    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
626      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
627        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
628      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
629        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
630      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
631      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
632    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
633      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
634      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
635        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
636        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
637     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
638      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
639        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
640      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
641        by ice & snow emissivity.
642    o pkg/thsice:
643     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
644      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
645      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
646      and in thsice_extend.F:
647      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
648      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
649     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
650      and cpl_aim+ocn
651    o pkg/kpp
652     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
653       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
654     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
655     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
656     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
657       be the best fix)
658    o pkg/seaice
659     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
660     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
661    o OpenAD
662     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
663    
664    checkpoint59a
665    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
666    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
667       himin       -> hIceMin
668       himin0      -> hThinIce
669       hihig       -> hThickIce
670       i0          -> i0swFrac
671       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
672       frac_energy -> fracMelting
673      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
674       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
675      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
676    o in FFIELDS.h:
677      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
678      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
679         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
680    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
681    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
682        3D diffusivity arrays are used; pkg/kpp/kpp_calc_diff_s & _t.F
683        are no longer updating the vertical diffusivity array
684        (passed as argument) but are (re-) setting those arrays.
685    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
686      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
687        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
688      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
689      - the above changes lab_sea results
690      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
691        may follow
692      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
693      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
694        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
695        of choosing it)
696      - add principal stress diagnostics
697      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
698        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
699        not have.
700      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
701        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
702        in all cases)
703    o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
704      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
705    
706    checkpoint59
707    o pkg/exf:
708      - fix wind-stress location: defined on A-grid (if ALLOW_ATM_WIND &
709        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE or USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION), otherwise, defined on C-grid
710      - move exf header files from lower_case.h to UPPER_CASE.h ;
711        add missing cvs Header & Name
712      - add adjoint routines and flow dirs for newly used exch_uv_agrid routines
713      - add namelist param. selectStressGridPosition, exf_monFreq
714      - retire many _CLIM routines, and remove data.exf_clim
715        + params moved to data.exf
716        + climsst, climsss now handled by exf_set_gen, i.e.
717          climss?period=0 refers to constant field,
718          climss?period=-12 to monthly forcing
719      - split up namelists in data.exf
720    o pkg/seaice:
721      - remove seaice_exch and seaice_exch_uv
722      - remove superfluous exchange of theta
723      - add myThid to seaice_budget_ocean/ice
724      - add new interface for atmospheric wind forcing (C-grid only)
725        + new routine
726        + two new field (taux, tauy for stress over ice)
727        + removed one global field (DAIRN) for C-grid case only
728    o pkg/thsise
729      - 2nd set of modifs for thsice adjoint in conjunction with exf
730    o enable runtime flag useEXF (useCAL is set to .T. if useEXF=.T.)
731    
732    checkpoint58y_post
733    o Added capability for latitudinal dependence of Bryan and Lewis, 1979
734      vertical diffusivity, similar to that in MOM4; turned on using
735      #define ALLOW_BL79_LAT_VARY in CPP_OPTIONS.h and specified using
736      diffKrBL79*, diffKrBLEQ*, and BL79LatVary in runtime data file.
737    o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
738      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
739      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
740      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
741    o ice dynamics (pkg/seaice) with thsice thermodynamics:
742      - add code within pkg thsice to advect & diffuse sea-ice fields
743      similar to (and will replace) what has been added in  seaice_advdiff.F,
744      but: - conserving Mass, Heat & Salt.
745           - better when using non-linear advection scheme (not yet fully tested)
746           - can also be used in atmospheric set-up (for now, only the diffusion).
747    
748    checkpoint58x_post
749    o IO option for global-file compact format:
750      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
751      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
752      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
753      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
754    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
755    
756    checkpoint58w_post
757    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
758      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
759      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
760      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
761                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
762    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
763      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
764    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
765     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
766     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
767       mass points to avoid tau = 0
768     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
769    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
770    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
771      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
772    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
773    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
774    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
775      to all packages
776    
777    checkpoint58v_post
778    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
779      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
780    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
781    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
782      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
783    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
784      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
785      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
786    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
787      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
788    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
789     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
790     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
791     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
792       and serious testing.
793     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
794       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
795    
796    checkpoint58u_post
797    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
798    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
799    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
800    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
801      momentum calculation.
802    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
803    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
804      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
805      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
806    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
807      Linear Free surface
808    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
809    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
810    
811    checkpoint58t_post
812    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
813    o pkg/mdsio:
814     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
815       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
816       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
817     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
818     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
819       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
820     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
821       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
822     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
823    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
824       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
825      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
826       diagnostic pointer.
827    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
828    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
829    o fix multi-category seaice:
830     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
831       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
832     - fix short wave heat flux
833    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
834       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
835       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
836    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
837      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
838      * used C-grid and EVP solver
839      * used KPP, GM/Redi
840      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
841      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
842        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
843        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
844        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
845    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
846     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
847     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
848     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
849       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
850     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
851     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
852       as atemp, etc.
853    
854    checkpoint58s_post
855    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
856      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
857        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
858        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
859    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
860      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
861      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
862        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
863        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
864        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
865        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
866        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
867    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
868    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
869      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
870    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
871    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
872    
873    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
874      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
875      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
876      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
877      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
878      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
879      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
880      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
881      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
882      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
883    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
884      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
885      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
886      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
887    
888    checkpoint58r_post
889    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
890      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
891      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
892      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
893    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
894    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
895      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
896    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
897      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
898    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
899      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
900      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
901    o multi-threading and IO:
902      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
903      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
904        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
905    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
906      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
907    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
908      (will certainly be subject to changes)
909    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
910      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
911    
912    checkpoint58q_post
913    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
914      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
915      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
916    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
917      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
918      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
919    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
920      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
921    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
922    
923    checkpoint58p_post
924    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
925    o shelfice:
926     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
927     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
928       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
929       stable
930    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
931    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
932      and updated flow directives
933    
934    checkpoint58o_post
935    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
936      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
937    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
938      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
939    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
940    o simplify EXCH interface:
941     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
942     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
943    o added the regrid package
944    o shelfice:
945     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
946     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
947    
948    checkpoint58n_post
949    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
950       local variable (not in common block).
951    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
952      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
953      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
954        to work with SingleCpuIO.
955    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
956       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
957    o multi-threading and IO:
958      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
959        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
960      - barrier before and after reading.
961      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
962      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
963      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
964        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
965    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
966      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
967    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
968    
969    checkpoint58m_post
970    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
971       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
972    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
973       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
974       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
975    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
976        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
977    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
978    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
979    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
980    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
981      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
982    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
983    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
984      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
985      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
986    o calc_gw:
987     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
988     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
989       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
990    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
991    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
992      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
993      truncation level, 11 digits).
994    
995    checkpoint58l_post
996    o calc_gw:
997     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
998     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
999     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
1000    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
1001      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
1002    o pkg/ecco:
1003      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
1004        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
1005      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
1006      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
1007        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
1008      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
1009        including separate counting and multipliers
1010    o pkg/rbcs
1011      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
1012    
1013    checkpoint58k_post
1014    o testreport:
1015     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
1016       & running in input)
1017     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
1018     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
1019     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
1020    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
1021       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
1022       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
1023       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
1024    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
1025     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
1026       end of the routine.
1027    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
1028      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
1029    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
1030    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
1031    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
1032    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
1033      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
1034    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
1035       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
1036    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
1037    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
1038    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
1039       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
1040    o tracer advection:
1041     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
1042     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
1043       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
1044    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
1045    
1046    checkpoint58j_post
1047    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
1048      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
1049    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
1050    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
1051    o genmake2
1052      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
1053    
1054    checkpoint58i_post
1055    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
1056      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
1057    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
1058      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
1059    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
1060      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
1061    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
1062    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
1063    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
1064      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
1065        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
1066      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
1067    
1068    checkpoint58h_post
1069    * Modifications for bottom topography control
1070      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
1071      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
1072      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
1073      o update autodiff support routines
1074      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
1075      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
1076    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
1077    
1078    checkpoint58g_post
1079    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
1080       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
1081       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
1082    o pkg/ggl90:
1083      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
1084      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
1085    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
1086      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
1087      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
1088      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
1089      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
1090        desired results either
1091    o pkg/seaice
1092      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
1093    
1094    checkpoint58f_post
1095    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
1096      to pkg/seaice):
1097      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
1098      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
1099    o pkg/exf:
1100      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
1101      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
1102      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
1103      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
1104        exf_radiation, exf_wind
1105      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
1106        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
1107      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
1108        either wind from stress or stress from wind
1109    o pkg/thSIce:
1110    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
1111    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
1112       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
1113    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
1114    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
1115      to make debugging easier.
1116    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
1117    o pkg/bulk_force:
1118      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
1119      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
1120    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
1121      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
1122    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
1123      testreport accordingly
1124    
1125    checkpoint58e_post
1126    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
1127    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
1128      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
1129      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
1130    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
1131      to be able to use it in pure forward.
1132    
1133    checkpoint58d_post
1134    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
1135     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
1136      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
1137      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
1138      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
1139      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
1140      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
1141      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
1142      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
1143      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
1144      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
1145     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
1146    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
1147    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
1148      with larger stencil
1149    o thsice adjoint: start
1150    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
1151      completeness
1152    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
1153      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
1154    o ptracers adjoint:
1155      * avoid extensive recomputatations
1156      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
1157    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
1158      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
1159    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
1160      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
1161    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
1162      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
1163    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
1164    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
1165      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
1166    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
1167    o new package prifiles:
1168      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
1169      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
1170    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
1171      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
1172    
1173    checkpoint58c_post
1174    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
1175      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
1176    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
1177      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
1178      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
1179      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
1180    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
1181      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
1182    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
1183    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
1184      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
1185      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
1186    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
1187      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
1188    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
1189      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
1190    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
1191    o seaice:
1192      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
1193      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
1194        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
1195      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
1196      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
1197        C-grid solver
1198      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
1199      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
1200        are now exclusive)
1201      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
1202        required re-ordering the code a little:
1203       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
1204       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
1205         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
1206    
1207    checkpoint58b_post
1208    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
1209      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
1210    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
1211      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
1212      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
1213      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
1214    o adjoint:
1215      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
1216      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
1217    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
1218     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
1219      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
1220     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
1221    o ecco
1222      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
1223    o adjoint
1224      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
1225      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
1226      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
1227        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
1228    o seaice:
1229     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
1230       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
1231         and ostres
1232       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
1233         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
1234         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
1235     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
1236     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
1237       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
1238       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
1239       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
1240    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
1241      include it only where its needed
1242    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
1243    o seaice:
1244      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
1245      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
1246      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
1247    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
1248      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
1249    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
1250    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
1251      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
1252    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
1253      (since checkpoint57x_post)
1254    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
1255    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
1256      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
1257    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
1258      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
1259      pkg/generic_advdiff
1260    o seaice:
1261      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
1262        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
1263        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
1264      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
1265      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
1266      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
1267        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
1268      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
1269      
1270    checkpoint58a_post
1271    o seaice:
1272      - bug fix in advect.F
1273    o shelfice:
1274      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
1275        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
1276        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
1277        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
1278        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
1279        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
1280        deep-reaching shelfice.
1281      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
1282      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
1283        now the default
1284      - give a few constants more intuitive names
1285    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
1286      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
1287      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
1288      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
1289      STDOUT.
1290    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
1291    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
1292      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
1293     - works
1294     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
1295              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
1296                instead of new field kTopC
1297              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
1298                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
1299                and ini_mask_etc.F?
1300              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
1301    o seaice pkg:
1302     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
1303       freezing point of sea water at the surface
1304     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
1305       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
1306    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
1307       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
1308       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
1309    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
1310       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
1311       (might add other options later)
1312    o pkg/bulk_force:
1313     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
1314     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
1315       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
1316       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
1317     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
1318     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
1319     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
1320       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
1321     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
1322    
1323    checkpoint58
1324    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
1325      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
1326      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
1327      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
1328      - requested by CNH but off by default
1329      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
1330      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
1331    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
1332      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
1333      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
1334      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
1335    
1336    checkpoint57z_post
1337    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
1338      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
1339    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
1340    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
1341    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
1342      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
1343    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
1344    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
1345         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
1346    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
1347         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
1348      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
1349      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
1350          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
1351          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
1352      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
1353          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
1354          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
1355      * 3 cases:
1356          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
1357          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
1358          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
1359    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
1360      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
1361      * enable at compile-time via
1362        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
1363      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
1364      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
1365      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
1366    
1367    checkpoint57y_post
1368    First step for a NLFS adjoint
1369    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
1370    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
1371    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
1372    o testreport seemed happy
1373    checkpoint57y_pre
1374    
1375    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
1376    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
1377    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
1378    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
1379    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
1380      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
1381    
1382    checkpoint57x_post
1383    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
1384    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
1385      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
1386      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
1387    o Non-Hydrostatic:
1388     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
1389     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
1390    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
1391     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
1392     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
1393       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
1394     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
1395    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
1396    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
1397    o adjoint
1398      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
1399        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
1400      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
1401    
1402    checkpoint57w_post
1403    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
1404                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
1405       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
1406    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
1407      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
1408    o tracer advection scheme:
1409      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
1410       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
1411       was not very convenient).
1412      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
1413       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
1414    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
1415      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
1416      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
1417      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
1418    
1419    checkpoint57v_post
1420    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
1421    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
1422      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
1423      identical results for a few days of testing
1424    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
1425      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
1426      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
1427      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
1428       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
1429    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
1430      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
1431      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
1432    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
1433      and for passive tracers
1434    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
1435      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
1436      file).
1437    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
1438      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
1439    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
1440      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
1441       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
1442      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
1443    
1444    checkpoint57u_post
1445    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
1446      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
1447        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
1448        are treated
1449      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
1450        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
1451      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
1452        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
1453        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
1454        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
1455        with EXF)
1456    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
1457    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
1458      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
1459    
1460    checkpoint57t_post
1461    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
1462    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
1463      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
1464      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
1465    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
1466      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
1467    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
1468      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
1469    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
1470    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
1471    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
1472      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
1473    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
1474      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
1475      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
1476    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
1477      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
1478      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
1479      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
1480      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
1481      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
1482    
1483    checkpoint57s_post
1484    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
1485      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
1486      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
1487      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
1488      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
1489      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
1490      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
1491      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
1492    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
1493    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
1494      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
1495      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
1496      they did before.
1497    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
1498      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
1499    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
1500    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
1501    o various changes to mnc including:
1502      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
1503      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
1504          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
1505      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
1506          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
1507      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
1508    
1509    checkpoint57r_post
1510    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
1511    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
1512    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
1513    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
1514    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
1515      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
1516    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
1517      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
1518    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
1519    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
1520    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
1521    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
1522    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
1523      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
1524      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
1525      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
1526    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
1527      (see README file)
1528    
1529    checkpoint57q_post
1530    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
1531    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
1532      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
1533    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
1534      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
1535    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1536      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
1537      to be able to limit tapelev size
1538    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
1539      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1540      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1541      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
1542    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
1543      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
1544      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
1545    
1546    checkpoint57p_post
1547    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
1548    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
1549      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
1550    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
1551    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
1552      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
1553       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
1554      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
1555     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
1556      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
1557      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
1558      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
1559    
1560    checkpoint57o_post
1561    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
1562      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
1563    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
1564      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
1565    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
1566      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
1567      (worth another tag)
1568    
1569    checkpoint57n_post
1570    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
1571    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
1572    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
1573    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
1574      for atmos. state.
1575    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
1576    o in natl_box_adjoint:
1577      * updated exp 1 to 10
1578        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
1579    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
1580      to incorporate latest changes
1581    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
1582      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
1583    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
1584    
1585    checkpoint57m_post
1586    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
1587      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
1588    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
1589      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
1590    
1591    checkpoint57l_post
1592     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
1593    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
1594       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
1595    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
1596       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
1597    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
1598          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
1599    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
1600    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
1601      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
1602    
1603    checkpoint57k_post
1604    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
1605      new EXF diagnostics output.
1606    
1607    checkpoint57j_post
1608    o exf
1609      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
1610        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
1611        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
1612      * extended diagnostics output
1613        - now includes all EXF variables
1614        - hs, hl moved to common block
1615        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
1616        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
1617        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
1618      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
1619      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
1620        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
1621    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
1622    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
1623      several times with different frequencies.
1624    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
1625      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
1626      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
1627    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
1628      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
1629    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
1630    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
1631    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
1632      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
1633         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
1634    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
1635     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
1636    
1637    checkpoint57i_post
1638    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
1639      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
1640    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
1641      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
1642    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
1643    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
1644      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
1645    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
1646    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
1647    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
1648      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
1649    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
1650      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
1651    o pkg/diagnostics:
1652      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
1653      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
1654    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
1655    
1656    checkpoint57h_done
1657      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
1658      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
1659    
1660    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
1661      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
1662    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
1663      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
1664    
1665    checkpoint57h_post
1666    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
1667    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
1668      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
1669    checkpoint57h_pre
1670    
1671    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
1672      and mnc_outdir_num are false
1673    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
1674      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
1675    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
1676      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
1677    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
1678    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
1679    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
1680    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
1681      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
1682    
1683    checkpoint57g_post
1684    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
1685      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
1686      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
1687    checkpoint57g_pre
1688    
1689    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
1690      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
1691    o added new control variables
1692      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
1693      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
1694    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
1695      (suggested by G. Forget)
1696    
1697    checkpoint57f_post
1698    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
1699      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
1700      account for baseTime shift
1701    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
1702    checkpoint57f_pre
1703    
1704    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
1705    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
1706      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
1707    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
1708    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
1709      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
1710      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
1711      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
1712    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
1713      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
1714    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
1715    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
1716      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
1717        new version is now more standards-compliant
1718    o adjoint-related modifications
1719      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
1720      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
1721      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
1722    
1723    checkpoint57e_post
1724    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
1725    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
1726    
1727    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
1728      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
1729    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
1730    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
1731    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
1732      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
1733      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
1734      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
1735    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
1736      - off by default for backwards compatibility
1737      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
1738    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
1739    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
1740    
1741    checkpoint57d_post
1742    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
1743    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
1744      output from the diagnostics package
1745    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
1746    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
1747      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
1748    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
1749    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
1750    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
1751      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
1752    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
1753    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
1754    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
1755      at the end).
1756    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
1757      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
1758    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
1759    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
1760      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
1761      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
1762    
1763    checkpoint57c_post
1764    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
1765    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
1766    checkpoint57c_pre
1767    
1768    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
1769      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
1770    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
1771      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
1772    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
1773    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
1774    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
1775    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
1776      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
1777      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
1778      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
1779        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
1780        *all* data points are output
1781    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
1782    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
1783    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
1784    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
1785    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
1786      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
1787      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
1788      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
1789    o pkg/ctrl/
1790      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
1791        May be enabled via doPackDiag
1792      *  introduce z-scaling of
1793         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
1794         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
1795    o pkg/mdsio/
1796      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
1797      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
1798    
1799    checkpoint57b_post
1800    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
1801    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
1802      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
1803      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
1804    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
1805    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
1806      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
1807     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
1808    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
1809      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
1810            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
1811    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
1812      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
1813    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
1814      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
1815        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
1816    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
1817    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
1818    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
1819      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
1820      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
1821    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
1822    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
1823      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
1824      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
1825      - restore use of make (not gmake)
1826      - add CC=gcc if using g77
1827    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
1828      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
1829        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
1830        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
1831        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
1832      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
1833        changed)
1834      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
1835    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
1836      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
1837      preprocessors
1838    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
1839     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
1840     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
1841     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
1842       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
1843       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
1844    
1845    checkpoint57a_post
1846    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
1847      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
1848      (what a pain)
1849    
1850    checkpoint57a_pre
1851    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
1852    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
1853    
1854    checkpoint57
1855    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
1856      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
1857      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
1858      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
1859    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
1860    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
1861    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
1862      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
1863    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
1864      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
1865    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
1866      and include in natl_box_adjoint
1867    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
1868      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
1869    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
1870      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
1871    
1872    checkpoint56c_post
1873    o OBCS as control variables
1874      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
1875      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
1876      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
1877      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
1878      - add dummy weights for obcs
1879    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
1880    o optim:
1881      - remove unnecessary header files
1882      - adjusted namelists
1883      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
1884    o exf:
1885      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
1886      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
1887    o mdsio:
1888      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
1889    
1890    checkpoint56b_post
1891    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
1892      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
1893      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
1894      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
1895      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
1896    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
1897      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
1898      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
1899    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
1900      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
1901      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
1902      testreport.
1903    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
1904    
1905    checkpoint56a_post
1906    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
1907      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
1908        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
1909        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
1910        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
1911      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
1912      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
1913      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
1914        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
1915    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
1916    o PTRACERS:
1917      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
1918        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
1919        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
1920      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
1921        monitorFreq
1922      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
1923    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
1924    o exf_check_range:
1925      * default changed to .TRUE.
1926      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
1927      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
1928      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
1929      TBD: a version with stricter range
1930           permitted range would be runtime parameters
1931    o GMredi:
1932      - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
1933      - change S/R GRAD_SIGMA to be valid in the overlap on CS-grid.
1934      - change the default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h: compile everything except Visbeck
1935    o GCHEM:
1936      - move call to GCHEM_FORCING_SEP, so that it is now called before
1937        the blocking exchanges to avoid computing halos in GCHEM_FORCING_SEP
1938      - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
1939      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
1940        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
1941      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
1942        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
1943        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
1944        of ptracers_forcing
1945      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
1946        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
1947      - cleaning up
1948    o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src
1949    
1950    checkpoint56
1951    o AIM: read land-Fraction earlier (from ini-fixed) and monitor land at nIter0
1952    o mnc: cleanup "full" files--fixes out-of-memory problem
1953    o ECCO-GODAE
1954      * model/, pkg/, code/, input/ now complete w.r.t. ECCO-GODAE production setup
1955      * fully merged and updated from SIO code
1956        windstress sign change affects
1957        - exf_inscal_[u/v]stress
1958        - sign of xx_tau[u/v] adjustments
1959        - signs in cost_scat
1960      * ctrl_get_gen: avoid update of tau[u/v] for first few days
1961      * natl_box_adjoint updated and compressed
1962      * 2-level checkpoint switch added
1963        (tested in EXP. 1 of natl_box_adjoint)
1964      * new switch doInitXX to avoid init. of xx_... in optimcycle=0
1965    o SVD
1966      * first complete, non-hacked version for SVD calculations
1967      * all interfaces clean w.r.t to handling of xx_..., adxx_..., g_xx_...
1968        performed via direct access files admtlm_vector.it????
1969        (via ctrl_[un]pack)
1970      * optimcycle is used for ARPACK iteration counter
1971        (note: adxx_... is iterated, rather than xx_...; latter is constant!)
1972      * EV problem ok w.r.t. L2-norm in tangent space; need to check other norms
1973        and add linear transforms where necessary
1974      * controls are initial/final SST, SSS (can be extended; need to check
1975        ctrl_set_[un]pack_xyz.F according to ctrl_set_[un]pack_xy.F
1976    o mdsio: filename info to both stderr, stdout
1977    o exf: exf_inscal_runoff: separated default conversion [m/year] -> [m/sec]
1978      from sign change
1979    
1980    checkpoint55j_post
1981    o isolate dissipation tendency (allow to keep it out off AB) in V.I form.
1982      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
1983    o add consistent build directories and .cvsignore files to verification
1984    o added viscA4GridMin and viscA4GridMax for more control on biharmonic viscosity
1985    o make all subroutines 30 or less characters in length for certain older
1986      compilers to work (a thorough search only turns up two routines in
1987      pkg/ptracers)
1988    o allow (vecinv only) a different horiz. viscosity for Divergence and Vorticity;
1989      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
1990    
1991    checkpoint55i_post
1992    o change arrays for total vertical diffusivity (2.D if explicit,
1993      3.D if implicit) ; each ptracer uses its own background value.
1994    o added mnc/NetCDF output capability to ocn_compon_interf
1995      - added bits to verification/cpl_aim+ocn so that it can run on
1996        ITRDA and other clusters without the mpirun "-wd" option
1997    o fixed wayward endif in mom_fluxform.F that messed up cyclindrical
1998      configuration
1999    o give MNC the ability to create additional files rather than
2000      exceeding a specified file size limit "MNC_MAX_FILESIZE"
2001      - the default is just less than 2GB which is a practical limit
2002        on many systems
2003    o Compute the non-local term using either KPP vertical diffusivity (=default)
2004       or the total vertical diffusivity (when KPP_ghatUseTotalDiffus=T)
2005    
2006    checkpoint55h_post
2007    o add verification test "vermix"
2008    o remove all the *_ioinc flags and replace with the single global
2009      outputTypesInclusive flag
2010    o allow to set a vertical profile of vertical diffusivity for T & S
2011    o call PACKAGE_BOOT & PACKAGES_READPARMS just after INI_PARMS
2012    o useMNC moved from data.mnc to data.pkg
2013    
2014    checkpoint55g_post
2015    o Renaming carbon AD experiments to comply with testreport conventions
2016    o Updating adjoint of Held-Suarez hs94.1x64x5
2017    o Fixing directives for non-ECCO forward_step, after ECCO directives
2018      have been fixed to avoid recomp. of do_oceanic_phys
2019      Works well for global_ocean.90x40x15,
2020      but recomp. issue remains for carbon
2021    o Updating adjoint output for natl_box_adjoint after
2022      pkg/ecco has been modified (see taga c55d_post)
2023    
2024    checkpoint55f_post
2025    o rename to timeave_init_fixed
2026    
2027    checkpoint55e_post
2028    o some delicate re-shuffle of store directives to avoid one
2029      extra call of do_oceanic_physics
2030      affects ecco_the_main_loop.F, do_oceanic_physics.F
2031      checkpoint_lev1_directives.h
2032    o NB: this may break global_ocean adjoint temporarily,
2033      but it is clear how to fix it. Will do later, need this now.
2034    
2035    checkpoint55d_post
2036    o ECCO specific cost function terms (up-to-date with 1x1 runs)
2037    o ecco_cost_weights is modified to 1x1 runs
2038    o modifs to allow observations to be read in as
2039      single file or yearly files
2040    o enable to read exf forcing fields as either
2041      single file or yearly files (flag useExfYearlyFields)
2042    checkpoint55d_pre
2043    
2044    o switch between 2-level and 3-level checkpointing
2045    o add ability of MNC to write local and "partial" (eg. 2D slices where
2046      the full 3D field is never actually stored) arrays to NetCDF files
2047      with the correct (that is, the complete multi-dimensional) set of
2048      array indicies
2049      - used in mom_vecinv() to write the diagFreq output
2050      - tested (demonstrated) in verification/aim.5l_cs
2051    o further mnc-ification
2052      - add verification/lab_sea to the list with mnc setups
2053      - fix undefined mnc v-names in cd_code
2054      - add kpp to mnc output (both snapshot and timeave)
2055    o non-hydrostatic code
2056      - added horizontal viscosity parameter viscAhW for w, that replaces viscAh
2057        in calc_gw.F
2058      - defaults to viscAh
2059      - this is useful, when I want to use viscAh=0 (e.g., only biharmonic
2060        friction or Leith) in non-hydrostatic mode, as long as there is
2061        no biharmonic friction and/or Leigth or equivalent for vertical velocity.
2062    o pkg/cost
2063      extend simple cost functions to treat time mean quantities
2064      (T,U,V) via cost_accumulate_state from cost_tile
2065    o multidimAdvection on CS-grid: implement the full 3 pass ; overlap needs to
2066        be 2 times larger than the minimum size the advection scheme requires.
2067        now get a perfect conservation of salt in advect_cs test-exp (updated)
2068    o GGL90 (Gaspar's TKE mixed layer)
2069      - add horizontal diffusion of TKE, requires exchanges in
2070        do_fields_blocking_exchanges, horizontal diffusivity is zero by
2071        default. In OPA there is no horizontal diffusion of TKE but the
2072        mixing coefficients are computed from a horizontal average of TKE of
2073        6 points or so. I think that diffusion has a little more physical
2074        justification.
2075      - clean up ggl90_calc in the hope of reducing memory usage (this hope
2076        was in vain)
2077      - mask tke-variable in ggl90_init
2078    o fix mask Pb in multidimAdvection on CS-grid (still a small Pb with ipass)
2079    o fix biharmonic diffusion on CS-grid.
2080    o more obcs stuff
2081      - added obcs_external_fields_load as an alternative to the EXF-pkg option
2082        for reading boundary values. This routine is called from
2083        obcs_prescribe_read
2084      - updated obcs_check
2085      - changed sponge layer relaxation parameter units for days to seconds
2086      - turned off sponge layer by default
2087      - changed argument list of OBCS_CALC to myTime+deltaTclock
2088      - fixed about 35 bugs in obcs_external_fields_load
2089    
2090    checkpoint55c_post
2091    o obcs stuff
2092      - new runtime flags useOBCSprescribe, useOBCSbalance
2093      - re-arranged obcs_calc
2094      - moved exf_getobcs to obcs_prescibe_read
2095        obcs_prescibe_read is called after ORLANSKI stuff
2096        and independent of it (executable can contain all).
2097      - updated obcs_check
2098      - added exchanges for U,V,gU,gV for useOBCSprescribe=.TRUE.
2099        These may be necessary only if tangential velocities are
2100        prescribed at OB, not sure, needs testing.
2101    o make the MNC_CW_ADD_VATTR_* subroutines all take scalar arguments
2102      which simplifies the calls and passes the ifc check-bounds test
2103    
2104    checkpoint55b_post
2105    o add a 2D scalar, Z location, exchange_2 routine.
2106    o EXCH_UV for CS-grid: add one u,v in the corner-halo region, allows
2107      to compute vorticity on a wider stencil [e.g., vort3(0,1)&(1,0)]
2108      affects advect_cs results (for the wrong reason): update output.txt
2109    o use a more standard discretization for biharmonic viscosity ;
2110     (original version still available with #define MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 )
2111      affects results of dome set-up: update output.txt
2112    o fix gad_advection.F (CubedSphere part), back to version 1.23
2113    o fix bug in mom_vi_del2uv.F (CubedSphere part).
2114    
2115    checkpoint55a_post
2116    o merged code to
2117      * prescribe/read time-dependent open boundaries
2118        (works in conjunction with exf, cal)
2119      * sponge layer code for open boundaries
2120      * each boundary N/S/E/W now has its own CPP option
2121        (healthy for the adjoint)
2122    
2123    checkpoint55
2124    o up-to-date adjoint of previous breaks
2125      - natl_box_adjoint: problem for exp 12, 13: cost = 0. needs fix
2126      - global_ocean_ebm: adjoint still needs fix (TLM ok)
2127      - global_ocean.90x40x15: extended GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
2128      - carbon: * remove tr1-related adjoint verification
2129                * add ptracer as control variable
2130    o remove all tr1-related code (ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER)
2131      (adjoint stuff still has some tr1 'names', but all use ptracer arrays)
2132    
2133    checkpoint54f_post
2134    o in verification/carbin/ remove experiment related to
2135      ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER (array tr1 etc)
2136      code_ad/ input_ad/ results_ad
2137    
2138    o add two new packages
2139      - ggl90, TKE-model of Gaspar et al. (1990), Blanke+Delecluse (1993)
2140        + subject to optimization (memory)
2141      - opps, OPPS (ocean penetrative plume scheme) of Paluszkiewicz+Romea (1997)
2142        + subject to reordering (many GOTOs in the original code)
2143        + so far opps is called for every (i,j) point, and then operates in
2144          the vertical; one may want to reorder the scheme in order operate in
2145          horizontal slabs at the cost of (a lot of) memory, at least ten new 3D
2146          fields)
2147    o overhaul of IO so that we now have flags for MDSIO and/or MNC
2148      - all verification tests compile and run with linux_ia32_g77
2149      - defaults are compatible with current input files--nothing
2150        should change if you were not previously using MNC
2151      - MNC output has been added in numerous places (eg. timeave)
2152        but there are still a few writes not yet do-able with MNC
2153        (this is in progress)
2154      - flags now allow for either/or/both use of MDSIO and MNC and
2155        documentation will soon follow
2156      - numerous small formatting cleanups for ProTeX
2157    o add version info (via BUILD_INFO.h) to MNC and stdout
2158    
2159    checkpoint54e_post
2160    o add two new packages
2161      - pp81 (Packanowski and Philander, 1981), Richardson number and
2162        stratification dependent mixing
2163      - my82 (Mellor and Yamada, 1982) level 2 turbulence closure scheme
2164      - these scheme operate in a similar manner as KPP (without ghat, of
2165        course), however there is only one diffusivity that is used for both
2166        temperature and salinity (and passive tracers)ç
2167    o add offline package
2168    o add "verification/dic_example" which contains a dic-gchem-ptracer setup
2169      provided by Stephanie Dutkiewicz
2170    o genmake2: add ability to search for C compilers and cleanup test output
2171      - fixes recent SX-6 problems and should help with others (eg. HP-UX)
2172    
2173    checkpoint54d_post
2174    o data.diagnostics: if levels() is unspecified then ALL levels are diagnosed
2175    o bug fix in pkg/cal/cal_addtime.F for TheCalendar='model' day count is wrong,
2176      leading to additional shift by 5 days each year of integration
2177       (i.e. leading to considerable offset over the years)
2178    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/thsice: use z* + RealFW + staggerTimeStep
2179    o start with no AB and no initial filtering (staggerTimeStep):
2180      change the results of test-exp: hs94.128x64x5, hs94.1x64x5 & hs94.cs-32x32x5
2181    o move ocean specific S/R calls from forward_step.F to do_oceanic_phys.F
2182      (external loading & cpl import/export stay in forward_step.F)
2183    o update coupling interface to work with new staggerTimeStep
2184    o change MDSIO ptracers_pickup.
2185    o fix a bug in Flux deriv. vs Ts (pkg/aim_v23/phy_suflux_sice.F);
2186    o genmake2 fixes so netcdf now works on halem ("osf1_alpha_*")
2187    o bugs fixed in kpp_calc.F (ustarY) and external_forcing.F (Qsw & Partial-cell)
2188    
2189    checkpoint54c_post
2190    o replace surfaceTendency U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr by surfaceForcing U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr
2191      this affects (truncation error) output.txt of test-exp:
2192       global_ocean_ebm,_pressure,.cs32x15(&.thsice), lab_sea & natl_box
2193    o pkg/kpp: replace pMask by maskC to reduce memory size (one 3.D array)
2194    o change Qnet to always be the net heat flux, (+upward).
2195      affects (truncation error) output of natl_box exp.: updated
2196    o define the max number of passive tracers in PTRACERS_SIZE.h
2197    o start to test mnc routinely in exp0
2198    o add sea-ice loading (sIceLoad) as a new forcing field.
2199    
2200    checkpoint54b_post
2201    o add testreport "-j JOBS" option for parallel builds (tested and pretty
2202       impressive on Altix and Opteron systems)
2203    o diagnostics can now write NetCDF files through the mnc package
2204    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: update pkg aim_v23 & thsice; update aim.5l_cs output
2205    o staggerTimeStep & multi-Dim-Advec: Exch(U,V) added
2206    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: rescale T & S surface tendencies.
2207      affects (truncation error) output of lab_sea & natl_box exp.: updated
2208    o change pickup _cd & _ptracers (old pickup restart: usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
2209    
2210    checkpoint54a_post
2211    o re-write staggerTimeStep: step fwd U,V and then T,S (reverse the order).
2212    o change pickup file (to restart from old pickup, set usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
2213    o get a perfect restart when using RealFreshWaterFlux + NLFS (not finished)
2214    o update output of all exp. that use staggerTimeStep (except hs94.cs & 2D)
2215      + internal_wave (shift in writing cg2d_ini_res)
2216    checkpoint54a_pre
2217    
2218    o require forcing_In_AB=.FALSE. and remove surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice
2219      - modified verification/lab_sea and natl_box_adjoint accordingly
2220    
2221    checkpoint54
2222    checkpoint53g_post
2223    o prepare splitting of thermodynamics: store convect.counter in common block
2224    o store d.etaH/dt (instead of Div.hV) in common ; affects (truncation error)
2225      output of: global_ocean.cs32x15, global_ocean_pressure & internal_wave
2226    o cnh's modifs to gad_advection.F for cube-sphere multi-dim advection
2227    o new parameter "nShapS": allow to treat differently S from T (nShapT)
2228    o separate Vert.Advec.Scheme from horizontal Advec.Scheme (T & S)
2229    o restore adjointability
2230    
2231    checkpoint53f_post
2232    o modifications that affect AIM experiment results (update output.txt):
2233      - no advection of S at top interface Nr (pkg/generic_advdiff)
2234      - air surf. temp: use lower value between T0 & T1 (phy_suflux_prep.F)
2235    o AIM pkg:
2236      - include stability function into surf.Flux derivative relative to Tsurf
2237      - calculate clear-sky radiation & surface temp. change (for diagnostics)
2238    
2239    checkpoint53e_post
2240    o merged cylindrical coord configuration
2241    o added rotating_tank experiment
2242    checkpoint53e_pre
2243    
2244    checkpoint53d_post
2245    o faulks upgraded: re-generate output.txt that have changed:
2246       global_ocean.cs32x15(.thsice), global_ocean_ebm, lab_sea, natl_box
2247    o Added Bryan and Lewis, 1979, vertical diffusivity profile
2248    o pkg/land: fix problem in land_impl_temp.F when Ts arround freezing.
2249    o added Sadourny discretization of Coriolis
2250      - moved some PARAMETERS from mom_*_coriolis.F to PARAMS.h
2251      - re-enabled use of omega3 (useAbsVorticity)
2252    o added Leith (Phys. Fluids, 1968, 10, 1409-1416) variable viscosity for
2253      vector-invariant equations
2254      - note: does *NOT* yet use same variable visc. for no-slip BC's.
2255    o recoded the lateral boundary conditions for non-hydrostatic w, this time
2256      hopefully without new bugs
2257      - still to do: biharmonic friction for non-hydrostatic w
2258    o bug fix for mom_*_sidedrag: rA -> rAs,rAw
2259    o regenerated output for global_ocean_ebm (using -ieee)
2260    o fix mom_common/mom_*_sidedrag.F to recover numeric output prior to creation
2261      of mom_common/
2262      - simple re-arrangement of instructions within computing loop
2263    checkpoint53d_pre
2264    
2265    checkpoint53c_post
2266    o new version of coupler for AIM+thSIce and Ocean models
2267     - new fields (SSS,h_MixLayer ...) are exchanged through the coupler
2268     - land: change Evaporation of snow
2269     - aim with thSIce: fix bug in snow-precip.
2270    o changes to calc_gw.F
2271     - bug fix for w^2 term near the bottom boundary
2272     - (hopefully) improve the lateral slip boundary condtions for use with
2273        partial/looped cells
2274      - because the bug fix changes two verification experiments anyway (exp5
2275        and plume on slope), change the lateral boundary condition from half slip
2276        to the value of no_slip_sides
2277    o ebm package wasnt quite up to the parallel task. Fixed that.
2278    o Adjoint of EBM package + verification
2279      * TLM OK
2280      * ADM not sufficient accuracy yet (needs further testing)
2281    
2282    checkpoint53b_post
2283    o Commiting new energy balance model to repository
2284      * package is pkg/ebm
2285      * verif. is verification/global_ocean_ebm
2286      * references are in ebm_driver.F
2287    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
2288    C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part I:
2289    C        Sensitivity to atmospheric moisture transport.
2290    C        J. Climate 12(1), 71-82
2291    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
2292    C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part II:
2293    C        Sensitivity with interactive transport.
2294    C        J. Climate 12(1), 83-91
2295    C      * M. Nakamura, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1994:
2296    C        Destabilization of the thermohaline circulation
2297    C        by atmospheric eddy transports.
2298    C        J. Climate 7(12), 1870-1882
2299    o Will need long integration testing.
2300    checkpoint53b_pre
2301    
2302    o created pkg/mom_common in preparation for variable viscosity code
2303    o renamed and split ini_mnc_io
2304    o pkg/land: only liquid water can diffuse or run-off
2305    o AIM using land: soil wetness availability account for snow
2306    o added printMapIncludesZeros to EEPARMS namelist
2307    
2308    checkpoint53a_post
2309    o restore TAMC compatiility for exf_constants.h
2310      (no usage of _d in .h)
2311    o Additional storing in KPP in an attempt to fix
2312      TAMC problem with adjoint of KPP code.
2313      (no success...)
2314      Identical code works fine with TAF.
2315    o Fixed verification/natl_box_adjoint experiments.
2316      Initial conditions for Experiments 4 and 5 are now
2317      set to "SEAICE_initialHEFF=0", which is more reasonable,
2318      and hence gives results closer to that of Experiment 2.
2319      Experiment 6 requires "SEAICE_initialHEFF=1" and is working once again.
2320    
2321    checkpoint53
2322    o stable checkpoint with up to date adjoint
2323      TLM tests only run for 1st grdchk at the moment. Its unclear if
2324      this is a code problem or a problem with resetting code for g_
2325      variables that is being autogenerated wrong.
2326      Otherwise:
2327       o code is testing well on Linux (P4 and AMD), SGI Alitix and Irix.
2328       o IBM and HPQ tests could not be run because NCAR (IBM) and NCCS (HPQ)
2329         are both still in chaos following their security messes.
2330    
2331    checkpoint52n_post
2332    o various build (mostly genmake2) changes including:
2333      - ability to build/run more easily within Cygwin and MacOS X
2334      - more complicated Makefiles with a stronger dependence on Gnu Make
2335    o pkg/seaice modifications
2336      - added SEAICE_deltaTtherm and SEAICE_deltaTdyn in order to reduce cost
2337        of pkg/seaice.  For time being, SEAICE_deltaTtherm = deltaTtracer
2338        and SEAICE_deltaTdyn must be integer multiple of SEAICE_deltaTtherm
2339      - changed proxy for geostrophic velocity and updated
2340        verification/lab_sea/results/* accordingly
2341      - removed ADI dynamic solver from pkg/seaice
2342      - replaced all occurrences of 1/CSTICE or 1/CSUICE
2343        they caused a segmentation fault under certain circumstances
2344      - removed unused field WATR
2345    o bug fix in exf-package:
2346      -  u/vwind are defined at tracer/pressure points. The values of u/vwindmask
2347         now reflect that.
2348    o small fixes in the cal-package:
2349      - set reference date to first of January for the 'model'-calendar
2350      - failing of cal_CheckDate in cal_FullDate now actually results in a
2351        warning
2352    o small modifications in exf-package to increase flexibility:
2353      - change climtempfreeze from a constant to a runtime parameter that
2354        is specified in data.exf_clim (default = -1.9)
2355      - introduce runtime parameter windstressmax (default = 2.0) that is
2356        specified in data.exf
2357    o fix in pkg/thsice:
2358      - update Evap (Tsf changes) to be consistent with Latent heat flux
2359      - maintain snow precipitation unchanged (even if Tsf >=0).
2360     both affect global_ocean.cs32x15/(.thsice) results ; update output.txt.thsice
2361    
2362    checkpoint52m_post
2363    o commented out call to cal_GetMonthsRec in swfrac.F and added some comments;
2364      this does not change any of the results, because myIter=0 in swfrac always
2365      lead to jwtype=2 (the default anyway), but the call makes little sense
2366      as a default
2367    o no SHORTWAVE HEATING lost at the bottom; affects lab_sea output; updated
2368    o re-work pkg/thsice interface with ocean & bulk_force pkg to allow
2369      atmospheric model (AIM) to use it ; add a "slab ocean" component.
2370    o pkg/aim_v23 : add interface to call thermodynamic sea-ice (thsice)
2371    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/output (.thsice) after changes in pkg/thsice
2372    o extending useSingleCpuIO option to work with new exch2 I/O format
2373      - old-style, missing-tile I/O is still accessible by defining CPP
2374        option MISSING_TILE_IO in pkg/mdsio/MDSIO_OPTIONS.h
2375    o monitor package can write to NetCDF files and/or STDOUT
2376    o fix re-definition bug in MNC_GRID_INIT_ALL()
2377    o doc/api_reference added
2378      - a framework for building an API Reference Manual using all
2379        the "protex" comments embedded in the code
2380      - see pkg/generic_advdiff, pkg/mnc for examples
2381    o MNC:
2382      - make myThid the last argument for all subroutines
2383      - new default for the grid files: NO halos
2384      - add useMNC and other run-time flags
2385      - separate per-file-group handling of the unlimited dimension
2386      - early initialization of MNC w/ flags read at the eeboot stage
2387        and lookup tables set in initialize_fixed
2388      - write all MNC output to a freshly-created directory
2389  o thermodynamics sea-ice (thsice) is now tested with testreport.  o thermodynamics sea-ice (thsice) is now tested with testreport.
2390  o test exp. advect_cs: use the standard cs32 grid ; update output.  o test exp. advect_cs: use the standard cs32 grid ; update output.
2391    o Added functionality to grdchk:
2392      pick global i,j,k position (or nearest wet) where to perform check.
2393    
2394  checkpoint52l_post  checkpoint52l_post
2395  o new land formulation:  o new land formulation:
