4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
8      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
9    o profiles: now ok for mutli-threaded case
10    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
11      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
12      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
13    o calc_gw:
14     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
15     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
16       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
17    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
18    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
19      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
20      truncation level, 11 digits).
21    
22    checkpoint58l_post
23    o calc_gw:
24     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
25     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
26     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
27    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
28      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
29    o pkg/ecco:
30      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
31        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
32      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
33      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
34        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
35      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
36        including separate counting and multipliers
37    o pkg/rbcs
38      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
39    
40    checkpoint58k_post
41    o testreport:
42     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
43       & running in input)
44     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
45     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
46     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
47    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
48       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
49       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
50       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
51    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
52     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
53       end of the routine.
54    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
55      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
56    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
57    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
58    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
59    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
60      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
61    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
62       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
63    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
64    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
65    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
66       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
67    o tracer advection:
68     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
69     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
70       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
71    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
72    
73    checkpoint58j_post
74    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
75      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
76    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
77    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
78    o genmake2
79      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
80    
81    checkpoint58i_post
82    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
83      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
84    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
85      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
86    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
87      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
88    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
89    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
90    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
91      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
92        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
93      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
94    
95    checkpoint58h_post
96    * Modifications for bottom topography control
97      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
98      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
99      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
100      o update autodiff support routines
101      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
102      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
103    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
104    
105    checkpoint58g_post
106    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
107       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
108       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
109    o pkg/ggl90:
110      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
111      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
112    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
113      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
114      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
115      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
116      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
117        desired results either
118    o pkg/seaice
119      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
120    
121    checkpoint58f_post
122    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
123      to pkg/seaice):
124      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
125      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
126    o pkg/exf:
127      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
128      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
129      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
130      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
131        exf_radiation, exf_wind
132      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
133        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
134      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
135        either wind from stress or stress from wind
136    o pkg/thSIce:
137    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
138    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
139       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
140    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
141    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
142      to make debugging easier.
143    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
144    o pkg/bulk_force:
145      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
146      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
147    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
148      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
149    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
150      testreport accordingly
151    
152    checkpoint58e_post
153    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
154    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
155      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
156      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
157    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
158      to be able to use it in pure forward.
159    
160    checkpoint58d_post
161    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
162     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
163      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
164      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
165      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
166      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
167      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
168      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
169      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
170      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
171      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
172     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
173    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
174    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
175      with larger stencil
176    o thsice adjoint: start
177    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
178      completeness
179    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
180      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
181    o ptracers adjoint:
182      * avoid extensive recomputatations
183      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
184    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
185      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
186    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
187      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
188    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
189      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
190    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
191    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
192      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
193    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
194    o new package prifiles:
195      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
196      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
197    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
198      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
199    
200    checkpoint58c_post
201    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
202      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
203    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
204      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
205      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
206      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
207    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
208      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
209    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
210    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
211      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
212      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
213    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
214      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
215    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
216      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
217    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
218    o seaice:
219      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
220      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
221        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
222      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
223      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
224        C-grid solver
225      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
226      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
227        are now exclusive)
228      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
229        required re-ordering the code a little:
230       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
231       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
232         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
233    
234    checkpoint58b_post
235    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
236      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
237    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
238      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
239      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
240      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
241    o adjoint:
242      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
243      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
244    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
245     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
246      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
247     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
248    o ecco
249      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
250    o adjoint
251      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
252      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
253      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
254        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
255    o seaice:
256     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
257       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
258         and ostres
259       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
260         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
261         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
262     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
263     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
264       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
265       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
266       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
267    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
268      include it only where its needed
269    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
270    o seaice:
271      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
272      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
273      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
274    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
275      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
276    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
277    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
278      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
279    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
280      (since checkpoint57x_post)
281    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
282    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
283      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
284    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
285      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
286      pkg/generic_advdiff
287    o seaice:
288      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
289        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
290        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
291      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
292      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
293      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
294        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
295      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
296      
297    checkpoint58a_post
298    o seaice:
299      - bug fix in advect.F
300    o shelfice:
301      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
302        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
303        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
304        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
305        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
306        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
307        deep-reaching shelfice.
308      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
309      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
310        now the default
311      - give a few constants more intuitive names
312    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
313      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
314      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
315      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
316      STDOUT.
317    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
318    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
319      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
320     - works
321     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
322              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
323                instead of new field kTopC
324              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
325                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
326                and ini_mask_etc.F?
327              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
328    o seaice pkg:
329     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
330       freezing point of sea water at the surface
331     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
332       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
333    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
334       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
335       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
336    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
337       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
338       (might add other options later)
339    o pkg/bulk_force:
340     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
341     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
342       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
343       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
344     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
345     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
346     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
347       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
348     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
349    
350    checkpoint58
351    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
352      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
353      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
354      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
355      - requested by CNH but off by default
356      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
357      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
358    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
359      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
360      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
361      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
362    
363    checkpoint57z_post
364    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
365      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
366    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
367    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
368    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
369      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
370    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
371    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
372         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
373    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
374         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
375      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
376      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
377          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
378          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
379      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
380          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
381          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
382      * 3 cases:
383          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
384          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
385          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
386    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
387      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
388      * enable at compile-time via
389        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
390      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
391      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
392      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
393    
394    checkpoint57y_post
395    First step for a NLFS adjoint
396    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
397    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
398    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
399    o testreport seemed happy
400    checkpoint57y_pre
401    
402    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
403    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
404    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
405    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
406    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
407      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
408    
409    checkpoint57x_post
410    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
411    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
412      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
413      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
414    o Non-Hydrostatic:
415     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
416     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
417    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
418     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
419     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
420       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
421     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
422    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
423    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
424    o adjoint
425      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
426        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
427      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
428    
429    checkpoint57w_post
430    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
431                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
432       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
433    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
434      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
435    o tracer advection scheme:
436      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
437       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
438       was not very convenient).
439      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
440       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
441    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
442      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
443      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
444      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
445    
446    checkpoint57v_post
447    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
448    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
449      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
450      identical results for a few days of testing
451    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
452      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
453      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
454      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
455       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
456    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
457      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
458      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
459    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
460      and for passive tracers
461    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
462      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
463      file).
464    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
465      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
466    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
467      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
468       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
469      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
470    
471    checkpoint57u_post
472    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
473      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
474        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
475        are treated
476      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
477        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
478      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
479        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
480        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
481        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
482        with EXF)
483    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
484    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
485      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
486    
487    checkpoint57t_post
488    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
489    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
490      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
491      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
492    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
493      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
494    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
495      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
496    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
497    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
498    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
499      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
500    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
501      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
502      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
503    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
504      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
505      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
506      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
507      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
508      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
509    
510    checkpoint57s_post
511    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
512      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
513      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
514      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
515      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
516      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
517      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
518      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
519    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
520    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
521      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
522      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
523      they did before.
524    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
525      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
526    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
527    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
528    o various changes to mnc including:
529      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
530      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
531          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
532      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
533          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
534      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
535    
536    checkpoint57r_post
537    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
538    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
539    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
540    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
541    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
542      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
543    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
544      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
545    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
546    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
547    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
548    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
549    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
550      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
551      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
552      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
553    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
554      (see README file)
555    
556    checkpoint57q_post
557    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
558    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
559      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
560    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
561      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
562    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
563      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
564      to be able to limit tapelev size
565    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
566      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
567      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
568      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
569    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
570      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
571      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
572    
573    checkpoint57p_post
574    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
575    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
576      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
577    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
578    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
579      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
580       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
581      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
582     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
583      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
584      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
585      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
586    
587    checkpoint57o_post
588    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
589      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
590    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
591      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
592    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
593      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
594      (worth another tag)
595    
596    checkpoint57n_post
597    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
598    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
599    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
600    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
601      for atmos. state.
602    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
603    o in natl_box_adjoint:
604      * updated exp 1 to 10
605        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
606    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
607      to incorporate latest changes
608    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
609      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
610    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
611    
612    checkpoint57m_post
613    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
614      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
615    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
616      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
617    
618    checkpoint57l_post
619     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
620    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
621       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
622    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
623       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
624    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
625          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
626    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
627    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
628      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
629    
630    checkpoint57k_post
631    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
632      new EXF diagnostics output.
633    
634    checkpoint57j_post
635    o exf
636      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
637        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
638        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
639      * extended diagnostics output
640        - now includes all EXF variables
641        - hs, hl moved to common block
642        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
643        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
644        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
645      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
646      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
647        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
648    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
649    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
650      several times with different frequencies.
651    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
652      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
653      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
654    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
655      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
656    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
657    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
658    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
659      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
660         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
661    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
662     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
663    
664    checkpoint57i_post
665    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
666      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
667    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
668      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
669    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
670    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
671      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
672    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
673    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
674    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
675      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
676    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
677      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
678    o pkg/diagnostics:
679      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
680      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
681    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
682    
683    checkpoint57h_done
684      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
685      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
686    
687    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
688      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
689    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
690      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
691    
692    checkpoint57h_post
693    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
694    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
695      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
696    checkpoint57h_pre
697    
698    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
699      and mnc_outdir_num are false
700    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
701      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
702    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
703      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
704    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
705    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
706    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
707    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
708      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
709    
710    checkpoint57g_post
711    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
712      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
713      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
714    checkpoint57g_pre
715    
716    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
717      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
718    o added new control variables
719      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
720      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
721    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
722      (suggested by G. Forget)
723    
724    checkpoint57f_post
725    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
726      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
727      account for baseTime shift
728    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
729    checkpoint57f_pre
730    
731    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
732    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
733      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
734    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
735    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
736      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
737      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
738      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
739    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
740      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
741    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
742    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
743      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
744        new version is now more standards-compliant
745    o adjoint-related modifications
746      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
747      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
748      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
749    
750    checkpoint57e_post
751    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
752    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
753    
754    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
755      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
756    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
757    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
758    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
759      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
760      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
761      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
762    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
763      - off by default for backwards compatibility
764      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
765    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
766    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
767    
768    checkpoint57d_post
769    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
770    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
771      output from the diagnostics package
772    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
773    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
774      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
775    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
776    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
777    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
778      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
779    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
780    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
781    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
782      at the end).
783    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
784      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
785    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
786    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
787      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
788      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
789    
790    checkpoint57c_post
791    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
792    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
793    checkpoint57c_pre
794    
795    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
796      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
797    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
798      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
799    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
800    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
801    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
802    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
803      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
804      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
805      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
806        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
807        *all* data points are output
808    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
809    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
810    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
811    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
812    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
813      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
814      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
815      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
816    o pkg/ctrl/
817      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
818        May be enabled via doPackDiag
819      *  introduce z-scaling of
820         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
821         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
822    o pkg/mdsio/
823      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
824      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
825    
826    checkpoint57b_post
827    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
828    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
829      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
830      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
831    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
832    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
833      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
834     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
835    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
836      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
837            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
838    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
839      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
840    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
841      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
842        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
843    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
844    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
845    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
846      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
847      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
848    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
849    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
850      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
851      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
852      - restore use of make (not gmake)
853      - add CC=gcc if using g77
854    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
855      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
856        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
857        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
858        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
859      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
860        changed)
861      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
862    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
863      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
864      preprocessors
865    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
866     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
867     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
868     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
869       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
870       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
871    
872    checkpoint57a_post
873    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
874      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
875      (what a pain)
876    
877    checkpoint57a_pre
878    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
879    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
880    
881    checkpoint57
882    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
883      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
884      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
885      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
886    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
887    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
888    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
889      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
890    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
891      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
892    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
893      and include in natl_box_adjoint
894    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
895      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
896    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
897      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
898    
899    checkpoint56c_post
900    o OBCS as control variables
901      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
902      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
903      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
904      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
905      - add dummy weights for obcs
906    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
907    o optim:
908      - remove unnecessary header files
909      - adjusted namelists
910      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
911    o exf:
912      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
913      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
914    o mdsio:
915      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
916    
917    checkpoint56b_post
918    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
919      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
920      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
921      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
922      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
923    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
924      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
925      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
926    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
927      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
928      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
929      testreport.
930    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
931    
932    checkpoint56a_post
933    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
934      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
935        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
936        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
937        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
938      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
939      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
940      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
941        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
942    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
943    o PTRACERS:
944      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
945        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
946        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
947      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
948        monitorFreq
949      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
950    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
951    o exf_check_range:
952      * default changed to .TRUE.
953      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
954      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
955      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
956      TBD: a version with stricter range
957           permitted range would be runtime parameters
958  o GMredi:  o GMredi:
959    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
960    - 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.

966      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
967        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
968      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
969        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
970        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
971        of ptracers_forcing
972      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
973        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
