      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
      ==============================
+ o pkg/seaice modifications
+   - added SEAICE_deltaTtherm and SEAICE_deltaTdyn in order to reduce cost
+     of pkg/seaice.  For time being, SEAICE_deltaTtherm = deltaTtracer
+     and SEAICE_deltaTdyn must be integer multiple of SEAICE_deltaTtherm
+   - changed proxy for geostrophic velocity and updated
+     verification/lab_sea/results/* accordingly
+   - removed ADI dynamic solver from pkg/seaice
+   - replaced all occurrences of 1/CSTICE or 1/CSUICE
+     they caused a segmentation fault under certain circumstances
+   - removed unused field WATR
+ o bug fix in exf-package:
+   -  u/vwind are defined at tracer/pressure points. The values of u/vwindmask
+      now reflect that.
+ o small fixes in the cal-package:
+   - set reference date to first of January for the 'model'-calendar
+   - failing of cal_CheckDate in cal_FullDate now actually results in a
+     warning
+ o small modifications in exf-package to increase flexibility:
+   - change climtempfreeze from a constant to a runtime parameter that
+     is specified in data.exf_clim (default = -1.9)
+   - introduce runtime parameter windstressmax (default = 2.0) that is
+     specified in data.exf
+ o fix in pkg/thsice:
+   - update Evap (Tsf changes) to be consistent with Latent heat flux
+   - maintain snow precipitation unchanged (even if Tsf >=0).
+  both affect global_ocean.cs32x15/(.thsice) results ; update output.txt.thsice
+ checkpoint52m_post
+ o commented out call to cal_GetMonthsRec in swfrac.F and added some comments;
+   this does not change any of the results, because myIter=0 in swfrac always
+   lead to jwtype=2 (the default anyway), but the call makes little sense
+   as a default
+ o no SHORTWAVE HEATING lost at the bottom; affects lab_sea output; updated
+ o re-work pkg/thsice interface with ocean & bulk_force pkg to allow
+   atmospheric model (AIM) to use it ; add a "slab ocean" component.
+ o pkg/aim_v23 : add interface to call thermodynamic sea-ice (thsice)
+ o update global_ocean.cs32x15/output (.thsice) after changes in pkg/thsice
+ o extending useSingleCpuIO option to work with new exch2 I/O format
+   - old-style, missing-tile I/O is still accessible by defining CPP
+     option MISSING_TILE_IO in pkg/mdsio/MDSIO_OPTIONS.h
+ o monitor package can write to NetCDF files and/or STDOUT
+ o fix re-definition bug in MNC_GRID_INIT_ALL()
+ o doc/api_reference added
+   - a framework for building an API Reference Manual using all
+     the "protex" comments embedded in the code
+   - see pkg/generic_advdiff, pkg/mnc for examples
+ o MNC:
+   - make myThid the last argument for all subroutines
+   - new default for the grid files: NO halos
+   - add useMNC and other run-time flags
+   - separate per-file-group handling of the unlimited dimension
+   - early initialization of MNC w/ flags read at the eeboot stage
+     and lookup tables set in initialize_fixed
+   - write all MNC output to a freshly-created directory
+ o thermodynamics sea-ice (thsice) is now tested with testreport.
+ o test exp. advect_cs: use the standard cs32 grid ; update output.
+ o Added functionality to grdchk:
+   pick global i,j,k position (or nearest wet) where to perform check.
+ checkpoint52l_post
+ o new land formulation:
+   a) use ground enthalpy as prognostic variable to ensure exact
+      energy conservation.
+   b) account for water temperature and for latent heat of freezing
+      in all processes (rain, run-off, ground storage)
+   c) compute surface and ground temperature implicitly.
+ o aim_v23 modification for new land model:
+   a) Treat separately land / ocean / sea-ice surface fluxes
+      to allow implicit computation of land & sea-ice surface temp.
+   b) add snow precipitation.
+ checkpoint52l_pre
+ o fix problem (when 1 tile is empty) in min/max monitor.
+ o fix bug in timeAve (u,vZetatave in common block)
+ o no restoring terms under ice for pkg/seaice
+ o moved SEAICE_DO_DIAGS to S/R do_the_model_io
+ o bug fix for pkg/seaice pickups
+ o change MNC call locations and add coordinate attributes
+ o mask vorticity at the corner ; affects global_ocean.cs output
+ o fix ini_curvilinear_grid ; test CS experiments with mpi
+ o aim.5l_cs: modify sea-ice fraction input file ; update output
+ o exf: Adding simple range check routine for exf fields after read
+ checkpoint52k_post
+ o removed top-level directory "diags"
+   - we migrated these functions to pkg/timeave a long time ago
+ o fixed bug introduced in pkg/monitor
+ o accuracy ctrlprec = 32 insuffient for gradient checks using
+   averaged fields (I/O via cost_averages)
+   -> use ctrl.h in active_file*.F to control I/O precision.
+ o paramter list of CALL ADTHE_MAIN_LOOP
+ o added initial do_the_model_io to ecco
+ o set all ...Freq to zero after cost_final
+   taveFreq, dumpFreq, pChkptFreq
+ o MAIN and ECCO differentiability restored
+ checkpoint52j_post
+ o fix nchklev in tamc.h for global_ocean...
+ o Bringing flow and store directives up-to-date
+ o Really weird thing!
+   call do_the_model_io from the_main_loop with parameters
+   starttime, niter0, instead of mytime, myiter, screws up the adjoint:
+   TAF places a faulty re-call of initialise_varia
+   after cost_final call which should not be there!
+ checkpoint52j_pre
+ o tweaked pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F to have more useful logic and
+   error messages
+ o fix errorMessageUnit problem. remove old version of mdsio from eesup/src
+ o modified pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F -- commented out diskspace-eating
+   debug output
+ o modfied mdsio_writefield.F to handle non-global files under exch2
+ o update AIM Cubed-Sphere exp (aim.5l_cs):
+   use land, p*, and Franco.M forcing fields with fractional land-sea mask.
+ o update AIM Equatorial Channel exp:
+   use standard aim_v23 pkg and change the SST fields to be more realistic.
+ o globalFile now works with exch2
+ o merged mom_vi_calc_relvort3.F, mom_vi_del2uv.F and
+   mon_vort3.F to make exch2 friendly with >1 tile per cube face
+ o limit timeave output for hi-res integrations
+ checkpoint52i_post
+ o removed CPP_EEOPTIONS.h from verification/*/code
+ o updated the tiling for global_ocean_pressure
+ checkpoint52i_pre
+ o update aim.5l_LatLon using the standard aim_v23 pkg (instead of
+   the old pkg/aim).
+ checkpoint52h_pre
+ o shortened offending lines in exch2_send_rx?.template
+ o modified W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h to reflect current topology generator
+ o genmake2: add build & execute test for NetCDF code
+ o modded aim.5l_cs and global_ocean.cs32x15 to use exch2, removed
+   old grid files, moved CPP_EEMACROS.h to pkg/exch2
+ o added useSingleCPUIO flag to monitor.F and mon_out.F
+ o added temporary hack for sea-ice dynamics on the cube:
+   metric terms are ignored and it is assumed that
+   there is no sea-ice on cube faces 1, 2, 4, and 5.
+ checkpoint52f_post
+ o added exch2 cube routines to pkg/exch2
+ o modified hs94.cs-32x32x5 to use it
+ o added new grid files to hs94.cs-32x32x5
+ checkpoint52f_pre
+ checkpoint52e_post
+ o first attempt to solve vertical advection (momemtum & T,S) Implicitly
+   for now, only implemented with Lax-Wendroff (tracer) and VectInv (mom)
+ o step.1 : rewrite (as in MultiDimAdvec) explicit tracer stepping (gad_calc_rhs.F)
+   to work with implicit vertical advection and AB ;
+ o Implic. vert. advect. implemented with flux-limiter, c2, u3 and c4 scheme.
+ o update output (gad_calc_rhs.F changes affect truncation error) of exp:
+  front_relax, global_ocean .cs32x15 & _pressure, internal_wave, lab_sea, natl_box
+ checkpoint52e_pre
+ o fix bug in impldiff when Nr=1 or Nr=2.
+ o change the albedo in pkg/thsice (as GISS model); update output_thsice.txt
+ o little changes (fftpack, aim/phy_suflux ...) to pass the "checkbounds" test.
+ o fix deltaTfreesurf in update_cg2d.F (left from c45d_post): affects 2
+   ocean exp. that use NLFS: global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_ocean_pressure
+ o added exf_offset_atemp for Celsius to Kelvin conversion of atemp
+ o eesupp/inc/EEPARAMS.h: MAX_NO_PROCS=1024
+ o pkg/cal/cal_toseconds.F fix for long (>60 years) integrations
+ checkpoint52d_post
+ o re-tiled many expts to allow comparison in multi-processor mode
+   - updated output accordingly
+   - changed hs94.128x64x5 to use intial T from file rather than use the
+     random number generator
+ o add infrastructure in model routines for fizhi and gridalt packages
+ o change global_ocean.cs32x15 because of Pb with GM on CS-grid.
+ o changes to permit hi-res, cubed-sphere, configuration
+   - added useSingleCpuIO capability to mdsio_readfield.F and exf_interp.F
+   - added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/scatter_2d.F
+   - added pkg/exf/exf_set_uv.F for on-the-fly interpolation and rotation
+     of surface winds for the cube
+   (A verification experiment, based on global_ocean.cs32x15, but with
+    pkg/seaice turned on and with on-the-fly interpolation from the NCEP
+    Gaussian grid is described in MITgcm_contrib/high_res_cube/README_ice,
+    complete with example surface forcing files and matlab scripts to look
+    at the output and compare it with that of global_ocean.cs32x15.)
+ o packages pickup: $PKG_write_pickup called from packages_write_pickup ;
+    but call to $PKG_read_pickup remains in $PKG_ini_vars: change CD_code
+    to conform to the common rule.
+ o check-in the first version of the coupler + interfaces for multi-components
+    set-up (Chris's version, adapted to work on cubed-sphere grid); use MPI.
+    - imply modification in eesupp (MPI_COMM_MODEL < MPI_COMM_WORLD).
+    - atmosphere: use pkg aim_v23 ; no sea-ice for now.
+    - ocean and atmos. share the same horizontal grid (no interpolation).
+    - exchanges between component and coupler is done in forward_step
+ o new verification experiment, cpl_aim+ocn:
+    coupled ocean - AIM atmosphere on cs32 grid.
+ checkpoint52d_pre
+ o surface flux time-av diagnostic modified for NLFS & RealFreshWater
+ o add call to AIM pendant S/R in external_forcing & external_fields_load.F
+ checkpoint52c_post
+ o Fixing OPTIONS files for use of exf:
+   - ALLOW_ECCO not needed
+   - ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h should not be included from
+     EXF_OPTIONS.h/CAL_OPTIONS.h, but from CPP_OPTIONS.h
+     as has been the case in the past
+   - All cal/exf related options are currently set in
+     single header file. Should remain so until we
+     agree on a consistent new policy.
+ o Removed all CPP options for cal package.
+   cal has no more CPP options.
+ o modified STOREs in GAD_ADVECTION
+ o corrected key comp. for passkey
+ checkpoint52b_post
+ o new version: "thsice" of thermodynamic sea-ice pkg:
+  - only 1 call from "forward_step"; conserve energy, fresh-water & salt.
+  - modify fluxes but do not change theta directly;
+  - light cleaning of bulk_force pkg (still needed with thsice).
+  - add forcing fields + data files in global_ocean.cs32x15/inp_thsice
+    + output_thsice.txt to test thsice & bulk_force pkgs.
+ o put back grid & coriolis monitor output.

+ o default tamc.h in pkg/autodiff supposed to crash
+   to ensure proper customization
+ checkpoint52a_post
+ o modifications to make FREEZE (_SURFACE) flux visible to pkg/kpp
+   - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code
+   - subroutine FREEZE_SURFACE now limits only surface temperature
+     and is called in FORWARD_STEP (if allowFreezing=.TRUE.)
+     => new output.txt for global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_with_exf
+   - keep the old version of FREEZE for backward compatibility;
+     global_ocean.90x40x15 left unchanged using useOldFreezing=.TRUE.
+   - corresponding modifs for TAF directives
+ o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS
+ o time-averaged output for pkg/ptracers
+ o fix problem with ECCO-related divided adjoint
+   snapshot file was missing some ad-variables,
+   but no warning issued by TAF
+ checkpoint52a_pre
+ o some bug fixes for #undef REAL4_IS_SLOW
+ checkpoint52 = ecco_c52_e35
+ o after testing adjoints of checkpoint51u_post
+ checkpoint51u_post
+ o this is the post-merge tag of the ecco-branch
+   (needs another clean checkout and re-testing)

+ checkpoint51t_post
+ o this is the pre-merge tag of the ecco-branch
+ checkpoint51s_post
+ o cleanup: removed various obsolete #define-s
+ o pkg/grdchk
+   - renamed 'ph-grd 3' to 'grad-res'
+   - merged from ecco-branch
+     (remaining bug fixes for obcs gradient checks)
+   - additional high-precision output for testreport
+     (grep for 'precision_grdchk_result')
+ checkpoint51r_post
+ o cleaned up or removed CPP_OPTIONS.h files
+ o updated results for some of the tests to reflect the new
+   optfiles (-ieee: -O0 instead of -O3)

+   - ctrl_pack/unpack cleaned
+     (new routines ctrl_init_ctrlvar.F, pkg/ctrl/ctrl_init_wet.F)
+   - confined inclusion of AD_CONFIG.h to where necessary.
+ o genmake2: changed AD dependencies from SRCFILES to AD_FILES
+ checkpoint51p_post
+ o create initial cd_code package
+   - WARNING: the initialization of fields within packages
+     is broken because INI_FIELDS (where READ_CHECKPOINT is
+     called) is called *before* PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES.
+     This seems to be backwards since
+) its important to initially zero the entire field including
+        the "halo" region
+) zeroing needs to be done *before* reading pickup info
+        and the pickup call might or might not happen in any
+        particular run
+   - this needs an overhaul for R2
+ o cleanup verification/*/code/GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
+ o cleanup testreport

+   - these changes should have no impact on the forward model
+ checkpoint51l_post
+ o changes to pkg/cal and pkg/exf that allow and speed-up long integrations
+  - faster algorithm for cal_addtime.F
+  - higher precision arithmetic, where needed

+   * adgmredi_x/y/rtransport
+     added flag for excessive storing to avoid recomp. of

+ o After TAF bug fix:
+   Tested adjoint of gmredi package.
+   Tests were done with checkpoint47 rather than with latest
+   checkpoint47f_post since the latter is broken for the adjoint
+   verification/carbon/ contains both ADM and TLM gradient checks.
+ Here they are, before they get changed/lost/stolen.
+ Mostly modif.'s to fix numerical sensitivities.
+ Gradient checks OK for

+ checkpoint47e_post
+ o created a tag prior to creating a branch
+ checkpoint47d_post

+ o OCEANICP & realFreshWater: include P-E direct effect on wVel ;
+   NOTES: requires option NONLIN_FRSURF to be "#define".
+ o update advect_xz/results/output.txt (left from checkpoint44g_post)
+ checkpoint47b_post
+ Merging from release1_p9:
+ o pkg/seaice
+   - removed GOTO's and added taf directives

+  = F. Molteni atmos.physics (SPEEDY, ver23) adapted to MITgcm.
+    for now, keep the same surface forcing as before.
+  - Part-Cell implemented into AIM; check that Heat & Water are conserved
+  - aim.5l_cs: use new aim pkg (run 10yr & get better results than before)
+  - aim.5l_LatLon & aim.5l_Equatorial_Channel are still using old aim pkg
+ o add diagnostic of surface correction term in monitor output
+ o bulk_force and therm_seaice
+ - Two packages:  bulk_force (Bulk forcing)
+   and therm_seaice (thermodynamic_seaice) - adopted from LANL CICE.v2.0.2
+ - Earlier integration from Stephaine Dutkiewicz
+   and Patrick Heimbach.
+ - Two ifdef statements for compile time,
+    ALLOW_THERM_SEAICE and ALLOW_BULK_FORCE
+ checkpoint47
+ differentiable version of checkpoint46n_post
+ o bug fix in quasihydrostaticterms
+ o * "clean" adjoint code (in terms of extensive recomputations)

+     - GM_VISBECK_VARIABLE_K
+     - GM_NON_UNITY_DIAGONAL
+     - GM_EXTRA_DIAGONAL
+     - GM_BOLUS_ADVEC )
+   * However, wrong gradient check problem remains unsolved.
+   * New CPP options have been introduced for different
+     tapering schemes
+ o external_fields_load now part of differentiation list
+ o pressure needs multiple storing;
+   would be nice to have store_pressure at beginning or
+   end of forward_step, e.g. by having phiHyd global (5-dim.)
+   (NB: pressure is needed for certain cases in find_rho,
+   which is also invoked through convective_adjustment).
+ o recomputations in find_rho for cases
+  'JMD95'/'UNESCO' or 'MDJWF' are OK.
+ o #define ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING should be differentiable
+ o ini_forcing shifted to begining of initialise_varia
+ o Incorporating QNVS line search routines into MITgcm
+   (this is separate code, and therefore not under pkg)
+   lsopt/, optim/
+ o Updated verification/carbon/
+   - #define GM_VISBECK_VARIABLE_K
+   - GM_taper_scheme    = 'ldd97'
+ checkpoint46n_post
+ Merging from release1_p8:
+ o verification/natl_box:
+   updating new external_fields_load routine
+ o New package: pkg/seaice
+   Sea ice model by D. Menemenlis (JPL) and Jinlun Zhang (Seattle).
+   The sea-ice code is based on Hibler (1979-1980).
+   Two sea-ice dynamic solvers, ADI and LSR, are included.
+   In addition to computing prognostic sea-ice variables and diagnosing
+   the forcing/external data fields that drive the ocean model,
+   SEAICE_MODEL also sets theta to the freezing point under sea-ice.
+   The implied surface heat flux is then stored in variable
+   surfaceTendencyTice, which is needed by KPP package (kpp_calc.F and
+   kpp_transport_t.F) to diagnose surface buoyancy fluxes and for the
+   non-local transport term.  Because this call precedes model
+   thermodynamics, temperature under sea-ice may not be "exactly" at
+   the freezing point by the time theta is dumped or time-averaged.
+   N.B.: fairly large differences in accuracy occur across
+         different platforms/compilers; comparison between
+         g77 (Linux) and F77 (SGI Origin 2000/MIPSpro)
+         generated output gives:
+    T           S           U           V
+   C D M    c        m  s        m  s        m  s        m  s

+   Y Y Y Y  5  5  7  7  7  8 10  9  6  6  6  6  7  5  7  5  7 FAIL  lab_sea
+ o GAD:
+   - generated new common blocks to account for call of
+     same gad routines with differing traceridentities
+     (needed to modify tracerIdentity indices in GAD.h)
+   - generated separate common blocks for case useCubedSphereExchange
+     (Department of Futurology)
+   - parameter lists to gmredi_?transport: added tracerIdentity
+   - added new key indices to tamc.h
+ o external_fields_load:
+   - added this routine to TAF list
+   - needed to make some common blocks global and additional storing
+     along the same lines as exf package (checkpoint_lev?_directives.h)
  o exf:
    updated external forcing package
-   - cleaned old exfa stuff
+   - bug fixes carried over from ecco-branch
-   - bug fixes
      (missing OBCS_OPTIONS.h in two routines)
    - enable easy to use "no forcing".
    - added exf I/O for atmospheric loading
    - added exf I/O for runoff data
    - transfered scaling between exf <-> MITgcm to exf namelist
+ o Adding new verification experiment global_with_exf.
- ecco_c44_e24
+   This verification experiment is almost identical to the
+   global_ocean.90x40x15 experiment, except that it uses
+   the exf (and cal) package instead of the
+   external_fields_load routine (cf README file).
+ checkpoint46m_post
+ o modified testscript to return -- when there are no lines of "%MON" output
+ o added new flag "quasiHydrostatic" for QH mode
+   and new routine quasihydrostaticterms()
+ o added 2*Omega*Cos(phi)*W to u equations (non-hydrostatic Coriolis term)
+   New routine: mom_u_coriolis_nh()
+ o fixed sign of non-hydrostatic metric terms in u and v equations.
+   Depend on correct sign of gravitySign.
+ o added work.pc* to .cvsignore in aim directories using ifc
+ o introduced flag for controllin non-hydrostatic metric terms
+ o removed gravitySign from PARM04
+ o switched to g77/ifc from pgf77 in aim experiments
+ checkpoint46l_post
+ o made convective adjustment work with pressure coordinates:
+  - changed the direction of k-loop in convective_adjustment.F for the
+    case of pressure coordinates (OCEANICP,ATMOSPHERIC buoyancyRelation)
+  - adjusted the reference pressure k-index in convective_adjustment.F
+  - adjusted the convection condition in convect.F (in analogy to
+    calc_ivdc.F)
+  - convective_adjustment no longer computes anything on the halos
+  - removed the warnings about negative salinity from find_rho.F and
+    find_alpha.F; instead the new routine look_for_neg_salinity, called
+    at the beginning of find_rho, find_alpha, and find_beta, does a
+    check of the entire slice, if CPP-option
+    CHECK_SALINITY_FOR_NEGATIVE_VALUES is defined
+ checkpoint46l_pre
+ checkpoint46k_post
+ o fixed the verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 experiment:
+  - new bathymetry (the world according to A., JMC, and M.)
+  - new initial fields and forcing fields (*.bin files)
+  - new POLY3.COEFFS (for the next release one should switch to a full
+    equation of state: JMD95P or MDJWF)
+  - fixed several errors and redundancies in the data file
+  - experiment uses looped cells
+  - added matlab directory with diagnostic scripts for plotting of output
+ o S/R aim_initialise.F replace S/R aim_init from file aim_do_inphys.F:
+  - read AIM physics parameters from a file (data.aimphys)
+  - set defaults values = F.Molteni paper (Clim.Dyn., 2002)
+ checkpoint46j_post
+ o split calc_exact_eta in 2 S/R : integr_continuity & update_etaH
+ o move wVel computation at the end of the time step, in S/R integr_continuity
+ o create specific S/R to exchange T,S before DYNAMICS (for stagger time step)
+ o update timeave pkg for wVel diagnostic.
+ checkpoint46j_pre
+ checkpoint46i_post
+ o Clean up AIM package (and keep the results unchanged):
+   include CPP_OPTION and use IMPLICT NONE in all routines ;
+   declare all the variables _RL ; use _d 0 for all numerical constants.
+   use ifdef ALLOW_AIM everywhere. And now AIM can be used with g77 !
+ checkpoint46h_post
+ o cleaned up the use of rhoNil and rhoConst.
+   - rhoNil should only appear in the LINEAR equation of state, everywhere
+     else rhoNil is replaced by rhoConst, e.g. find_rho computes rho-rhoConst
+     and the dynamical equations are all divided by rhoConst
+ o introduced new parameter rhoConstFresh, a reference density of fresh
+   water, to remove the fresh water flux's dependence on rhoNil. The default
+   value is 999.8 kg/m^3
+ o cleanup up external_forcing.F and external_forcing_surf.F
+   - can now be used by both OCEANIC and OCEANICP
+ checkpoint46h_pre
+  Added code to convert surface volume flux (fresh water) into
+  a mass flux when using P coordinates in the ocean (OCEANICP).
+  Note: It assumes you have set rho0=rhoConst=density of fresh water.
+ checkpoint46g_post
+ o Include a new diagnostic variable phiHydLow for the ocean model
+   - in z-coordinates, it is the bottom pressure anomaly
+   - in p-coordinates, it is the sea surface elevation
+   - in both cases, these variable have global drift, reflecting the mass
+     drift in z-coordinates and the volume drift in p-coordinates
+   - included time averaging for phiHydLow, be aware of the drift!
+ o depth-dependent computation of Bo_surf for pressure coordinates
+   in the ocean (buoyancyRelation='OCEANICP')
+   - requires a new routine (FIND_RHO_SCALAR) to compute density with only
+     Theta, Salinity, and Pressure in the parameter list. This routine is
+     presently contained in find_rho.F. This routine does not give the
+     correct density for 'POLY3', which would be a z-dependent reference
+     density.
+ o cleaned up find_rho
+   - removed obsolete 'eqn' from the parameter list.
+ o added two new verification experiments: gop and goz
+   (4x4 degree global ocean, 15 layers in pressure and height coordinates)
+ checkpoint46g_pre
+ checkpoint46f_post
+ o Enable tangent linear (forward mode) gradient checks:
+   - extended active file handling to g_... files
+   - added TANGENT_SIMULATION to theSimulationMode
+   - extended grdchk package accordingly
+ o added tangent linear setup in verification/carbon/code_ftl
+ o added adjoint setup in verification/front_relax/code_ad
+ checkpoint46e_post
+ o Added new equation of state -> MDJWF
+   - EOS of McDougall et al., 2002, JAOT, submitted
+   - caveat: the equation of state is only valid for a smaller (more
+     realistic?) range of values than JMD95P/Z and UNESCO
+   - added masks to the calculation of pressure in store_pressure
+   - added more check values for density in check_eos (ini_eos.F), some of
+     the old check values are out of the range of the MDJWF-eos, so don't
+     expect perfect matches for those
+ checkpoint46e_pre
+ checkpoint46d_post
+ o fixed store_pressure to work with both buoyancy relation = 'OCEANIC' and
+   'OCEANICP', also initialised field pressure correctly in ini_eos in the
+   case of pressure coordinates. eosType='JMD95Z' in
+   combination with buoyancyRelation='OCEANICP' now causes an error.
+ o Changed p = pressure(i,j,k,bi,bj)  to  p = pressure(i,j,kRef,bi,bj)
+   in find_alpha/beta.
+ checkpoint46d_pre
+ o Changed p = pressure(i,j,k,bi,bj)  to  p = pressure(i,j,kRef,bi,bj)
+   so that JMD95Z and JMD95P give approptiate static stability in find_rho.
+ checkpoint46c_post
+ o Changes necessary for ocean in p-coordinates
+  -  Added new buoyancy relation = 'OCEANICP'
+  -  Added new parameters = gravitySign (this used to be contained inside
+     the factor dRdZ which I added when we first switched to R coordinates).
+  X GM/Redi is not compatible (yet)
+  X bottom drag and no-slip need to be debugged.
+ checkpoint46c_pre
+ checkpoint46b_post
+ o Added new equation of state -> JMD95Z and JMD95P
+   - EOS of Jackett and McDougall, 1995, JAOT
+   - moved all EOS parameters into EOS.h
+   - new routines ini_eos.F, store_pressure.F
+ o Added UNESCO EOS, but not recommended because it requires
+   in-situ temperature (see JMD95)
+ o Modified formatting for knudsen2.f in utils/knudsen2 and added
+   unesco.f to be used with POLY3
+ checkpoint46b_pre
+ checkpoint46a_post
+ o Added (atmospheric) pressure loading
+   - new field in FFIELDS.h, etc...
+   - new cpp flag ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING
+ o Changed hFacC to _hFacC in calc_phi_hyd.F
+ o Added SHORTWAVE_HEATING to some files for consistency

+ o incorporated hooks for sponge layer code (external_forcing.F)
+ checkpoint45d_post
+ o import 2 fixes from release1_p5 (CG2D.h & packages_readparms.F)
+ o use recip_dx*,recip_dy* instead of /dx*,/dy* in orlanski_E,W,N,S
+   (affects plume_on_slope "cg2d" output)
+ o add new parameter deltaTfreesurf for free-surface time stepping
+ o exchange gT,gS when using staggerTimeStep & GM & Oly<4
+ o NONLIN_FRSURF: rescale gNm1 to get a better conservation with A-B
+ o change phiMin in exp1 (to agree with documentation)
+ o add new flags:
+  - T,S forcing inside/outside Adams-Bashforth
+  - turn off temp,salt advection and/or forcing

-   (corresponding update of TAF tape initialisation).
+   (TAF flow dependency)
- o removed auxiliary field in impldiff
+ o in initialise_varia, moved call packages_init_variables
-   (caused numerical differences for GMRedi cases)
