5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    checkpoint58i_post
8    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
9      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
10    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
11      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
12    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
13      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
14    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
15    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
16    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
17      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
18        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
19      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
20    
21    checkpoint58h_post
22    * Modifications for bottom topography control
23      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
24      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
25      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
26      o update autodiff support routines
27      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
28      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
29    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
30    
31    checkpoint58g_post
32    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
33       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
34       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
35    o pkg/ggl90:
36      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
37      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
38    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
39      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
40      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
41      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
42      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
43        desired results either
44    o pkg/seaice
45      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
46    
47    checkpoint58f_post
48    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
49      to pkg/seaice):
50      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
51      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
52    o pkg/exf:
53      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
54      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
55      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
56      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
57        exf_radiation, exf_wind
58      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
59        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
60      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
61        either wind from stress or stress from wind
62    o pkg/thSIce:
63    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
64    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
65       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
66    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
67    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
68      to make debugging easier.
69    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
70    o pkg/bulk_force:
71      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
72      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
73    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
74      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
75    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
76      testreport accordingly
77    
78    checkpoint58e_post
79    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
80    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
81      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
82      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
83    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
84      to be able to use it in pure forward.
85    
86    checkpoint58d_post
87    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
88     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
89      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
90      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
91      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
92      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
93      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
94      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
95      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
96      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
97      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
98     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
99    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
100    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
101      with larger stencil
102    o thsice adjoint: start
103    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
104      completeness
105    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
106      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
107    o ptracers adjoint:
108      * avoid extensive recomputatations
109      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
110    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
111      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
112    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
113      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
114    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
115      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
116    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
117    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
118      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
119    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
120    o new package prifiles:
121      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
122      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
123    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
124      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
125    
126    checkpoint58c_post
127    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
128      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
129    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
130      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
131      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
132      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
133    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
134      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
135    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
136    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
137      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
138      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
139    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
140      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
141    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
142      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
143    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
144    o seaice:
145      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
146      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
147        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
148      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
149      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
150        C-grid solver
151      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
152      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
153        are now exclusive)
154      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
155        required re-ordering the code a little:
156       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
157       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
158         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
159    
160    checkpoint58b_post
161    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
162      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
163    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
164      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
165      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
166      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
167    o adjoint:
168      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
169      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
170    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
171     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
172      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
173     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
174    o ecco
175      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
176    o adjoint
177      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
178      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
179      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
180        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
181    o seaice:
182     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
183       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
184         and ostres
185       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
186         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
187         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
188     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
189     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
190       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
191       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
192       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
193    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
194      include it only where its needed
195    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
196    o seaice:
197      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
198      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
199      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
200    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
201      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
202    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
203    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
204      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
205    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
206      (since checkpoint57x_post)
207    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
208    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
209      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
210    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
211      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
212      pkg/generic_advdiff
213    o seaice:
214      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
215        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
216        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
217      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
218      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
219      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
220        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
221      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
222      
223    checkpoint58a_post
224    o seaice:
225      - bug fix in advect.F
226    o shelfice:
227      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
228        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
229        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
230        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
231        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
232        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
233        deep-reaching shelfice.
234      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
235      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
236        now the default
237      - give a few constants more intuitive names
238    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
239      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
240      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
241      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
242      STDOUT.
243    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
244    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
245      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
246     - works
247     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
248              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
249                instead of new field kTopC
250              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
251                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
252                and ini_mask_etc.F?
253              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
254    o seaice pkg:
255     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
256       freezing point of sea water at the surface
257     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
258       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
259    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
260       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
261       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
262    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
263       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
264       (might add other options later)
265    o pkg/bulk_force:
266     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
267     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
268       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
269       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
270     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
271     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
272     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
273       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
274     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
275    
276    checkpoint58
277    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
278      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
279      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
280      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
281      - requested by CNH but off by default
282      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
283      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
284    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
285      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
286      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
287      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
288    
289    checkpoint57z_post
290    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
291      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
292    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
293    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
294    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
295      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
296    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
297    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
298         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
299    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
300         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
301      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
302      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
303          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
304          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
305      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
306          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
307          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
308      * 3 cases:
309          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
310          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
311          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
312    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
313      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
314      * enable at compile-time via
315        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
316      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
317      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
318      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
319    
320    checkpoint57y_post
321    First step for a NLFS adjoint
322    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
323    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
324    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
325    o testreport seemed happy
326    checkpoint57y_pre
327    
328    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
329    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
330    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
331    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
332    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
333      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
334    
335    checkpoint57x_post
336    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
337    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
338      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
339      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
340    o Non-Hydrostatic:
341     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
342     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
343    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
344     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
345     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
346       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
347     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
348    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
349    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
350    o adjoint
351      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
352        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
353      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
354    
355    checkpoint57w_post
356    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
357                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
358       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
359    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
360      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
361    o tracer advection scheme:
362      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
363       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
364       was not very convenient).
365      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
366       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
367    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
368      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
369      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
370      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
371    
372    checkpoint57v_post
373    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
374    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
375      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
376      identical results for a few days of testing
377    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
378      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
379      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
380      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
381       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
382    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
383      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
384      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
385    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
386      and for passive tracers
387    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
388      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
389      file).
390    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
391      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
392    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
393      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
394       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
395      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
396    
397    checkpoint57u_post
398    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
399      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
400        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
401        are treated
402      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
403        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
404      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
405        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
406        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
407        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
408        with EXF)
409    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
410    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
411      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
412    
413    checkpoint57t_post
414    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
415    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
416      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
417      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
418    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
419      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
420    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
421      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
422    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
423    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
424    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
425      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
426    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
427      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
428      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
429    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
430      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
431      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
432      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
433      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
434      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
435    
436    checkpoint57s_post
437    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
438      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
439      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
440      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
441      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
442      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
443      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
444      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
445    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
446    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
447      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
448      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
449      they did before.
450    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
451      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
452    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
453    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
454    o various changes to mnc including:
455      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
456      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
457          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
458      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
459          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
460      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
461    
462    checkpoint57r_post
463    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
464    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
465    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
466    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
467    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
468      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
469    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
470      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
471    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
472    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
473    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
474    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
475    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
476      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
477      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
478      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
479    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
480      (see README file)
481    
482    checkpoint57q_post
483    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
484    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
485      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
486    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
487      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
488    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
489      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
490      to be able to limit tapelev size
491    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
492      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
493      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
494      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
495    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
496      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
497      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
498    
499    checkpoint57p_post
500    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
501    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
502      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
503    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
504    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
505      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
506       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
507      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
508     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
509      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
510      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
511      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
512    
513    checkpoint57o_post
514    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
515      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
516    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
517      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
518    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
519      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
520      (worth another tag)
521    
522    checkpoint57n_post
523    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
524    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
525    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
526    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
527      for atmos. state.
528    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
529    o in natl_box_adjoint:
530      * updated exp 1 to 10
531        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
532    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
533      to incorporate latest changes
534    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
535      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
536    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
537    
538    checkpoint57m_post
539    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
540      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
541    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
542      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
543    
544    checkpoint57l_post
545     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
546    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
547       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
548    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
549       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
550    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
551          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
552    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
553    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
554      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
555    
556    checkpoint57k_post
557    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
558      new EXF diagnostics output.
559    
560    checkpoint57j_post
561    o exf
562      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
563        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
564        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
565      * extended diagnostics output
566        - now includes all EXF variables
567        - hs, hl moved to common block
568        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
569        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
570        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
571      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
572      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
573        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
574    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
575    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
576      several times with different frequencies.
577    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
578      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
579      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
580    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
581      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
582    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
583    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
584    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
585      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
586         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
587    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
588     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
589    
590    checkpoint57i_post
591    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
592      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
593    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
594      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
595    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
596    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
597      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
598    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
599    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
600    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
601      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
602    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
603      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
604    o pkg/diagnostics:
605      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
606      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
607    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
608

612    
613    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
614      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
615    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
616      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
617    
618    checkpoint57h_post
619    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
620    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
621      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
622    checkpoint57h_pre
623    
624    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
625      and mnc_outdir_num are false
626    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
627      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
628    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
629      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
630    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
631    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
632    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
633    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
634      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
635    
636    checkpoint57g_post
637    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
638      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
639      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
640    checkpoint57g_pre
641    
642    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
643      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
644    o added new control variables
645      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
646      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
647    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
648      (suggested by G. Forget)
649    
650    checkpoint57f_post

661    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
662      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
663      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
664      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
665    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
666      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
667    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
668    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
669      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
670        new version is now more standards-compliant
671    o adjoint-related modifications
672      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
673      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
674      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
675    
676    checkpoint57e_post

681      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
682    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
683    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
684    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
685      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
686      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
687      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
688    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
689      - off by default for backwards compatibility
690      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
691    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
692    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
693    
694    checkpoint57d_post
695    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
696    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
697      output from the diagnostics package
698    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
699    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
700      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
701    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
702    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
703    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
704      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
705    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
706    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
707    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
708      at the end).
709    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
710      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
711    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
712    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
713      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
714      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
715    
716    checkpoint57c_post
717    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort

722      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
723    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
724      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
725    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
726    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
727    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
728    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
729      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
730      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
731      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
732        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
733        *all* data points are output
734    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
735    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
736    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
737    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
738    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
739      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
740      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
741      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
742    o pkg/ctrl/
743      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
744        May be enabled via doPackDiag
745      *  introduce z-scaling of
746         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
747         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
748    o pkg/mdsio/
749      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
750      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
751    
752    checkpoint57b_post
753    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
754    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
755      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
756      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
757    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
758    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
759      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
760     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
761    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
762      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
763            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
764    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
765      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
766    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
767      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
768        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
769    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
770    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
771    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
772      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
773      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
774    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
775    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
776      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
777      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
778      - restore use of make (not gmake)
779      - add CC=gcc if using g77
780    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
781      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
782        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
783        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
784        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
785      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
786        changed)
787      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
788    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
789      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
790      preprocessors
791    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
792     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
793     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
794     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
795       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
796       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
797    
798    checkpoint57a_post
799    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
800      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
801      (what a pain)
802    
803    checkpoint57a_pre
804    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
805    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
806    
807    checkpoint57
808    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
809      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
810      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
811      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
812    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
813    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
814    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
815      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
816    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
817      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
818    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
819      and include in natl_box_adjoint
820    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
821      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
822    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
823      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
824    
825    checkpoint56c_post
826    o OBCS as control variables
827      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
828      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
829      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
830      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
831      - add dummy weights for obcs
832    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
833    o optim:
834      - remove unnecessary header files
835      - adjusted namelists
836      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
837    o exf:
838      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
839      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
840    o mdsio:
841      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
842    
843    checkpoint56b_post
844    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
845      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
846      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
847      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
848      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
849    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
850      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
851      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
852    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
853      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
854      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
855      testreport.
856    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
857    
858    checkpoint56a_post
859    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
860      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
861        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
862        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
863        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
864      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
865      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
866      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
867        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
868    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
869    o PTRACERS:
870      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
871        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
872        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
873      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
874        monitorFreq
875      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
876    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
877    o exf_check_range:
878      * default changed to .TRUE.
879      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
880      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
881      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
882      TBD: a version with stricter range
883           permitted range would be runtime parameters
884  o GMredi:  o GMredi:
885    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
886    - change S/R GRAD_SIGMA to be valid in the overlap on CS-grid.    - change S/R GRAD_SIGMA to be valid in the overlap on CS-grid.

891    - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.    - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
892      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
893        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
894      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
895        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
896        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
897        of ptracers_forcing
898      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
899        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
900      - cleaning up
901  o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src  o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src
