4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
8       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
9       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
10    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
11        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
12    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
13    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
14    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh

16      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
17    o profiles: now ok for mutli-threaded case
18    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
19      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
20      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
21    o calc_gw:
22     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
23     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
24       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
25    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
26    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
27      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
28      truncation level, 11 digits).
29    
30    checkpoint58l_post
31    o calc_gw:
32     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
33     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
34     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
35    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
36      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
37    o pkg/ecco:
38      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
39        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
40      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
41      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
42        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
43      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
44        including separate counting and multipliers
45    o pkg/rbcs
46      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
47    
48    checkpoint58k_post
49    o testreport:
50     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
51       & running in input)
52     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
53     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
54     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
55    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
56       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
57       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
58       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
59    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
60     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
61       end of the routine.
62    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
63      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
64    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
65    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
66    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
67    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
68      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
69    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
70       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
71    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
72    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
73    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
74       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
75    o tracer advection:
76     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
77     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
78       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
79    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
80    
81    checkpoint58j_post
82    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
83      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
84    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
85    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
86    o genmake2
87      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
88    
89    checkpoint58i_post
90    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
91      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
92    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
93      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
94    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
95      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
96    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
97    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
98    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
99      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
100        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
101      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
102    
103    checkpoint58h_post
104    * Modifications for bottom topography control
105      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
106      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
107      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
108      o update autodiff support routines
109      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
110      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
111    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
112    
113    checkpoint58g_post
114    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
115       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
116       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
117    o pkg/ggl90:
118      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
119      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
120    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
121      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
122      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
123      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
124      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
125        desired results either
126    o pkg/seaice
127      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
128    
129    checkpoint58f_post
130    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
131      to pkg/seaice):
132      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
133      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
134    o pkg/exf:
135      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
136      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
137      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
138      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
139        exf_radiation, exf_wind
140      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
141        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
142      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
143        either wind from stress or stress from wind
144    o pkg/thSIce:
145    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
146    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
147       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
148    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
149    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
150      to make debugging easier.
151    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
152    o pkg/bulk_force:
153      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
154      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
155    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
156      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
157    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
158      testreport accordingly
159    
160    checkpoint58e_post
161    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
162    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
163      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
164      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
165    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
166      to be able to use it in pure forward.
167    
168    checkpoint58d_post
169    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
170     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
171      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
172      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
173      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
174      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
175      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
176      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
177      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
178      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
179      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
180     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
181    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
182    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
183      with larger stencil
184    o thsice adjoint: start
185    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
186      completeness
187    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
188      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
189    o ptracers adjoint:
190      * avoid extensive recomputatations
191      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
192    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
193      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
194    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
195      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
196    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
197      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
198    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
199    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
200      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
201    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
202    o new package prifiles:
203      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
204      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
205    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
206      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
207    
208    checkpoint58c_post
209    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
210      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
211    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
212      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
213      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
214      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
215    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
216      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
217    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
218    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
219      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
220      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
221    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
222      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
223    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
224      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
225    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
226    o seaice:
227      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
228      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
229        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
230      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
231      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
232        C-grid solver
233      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
234      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
235        are now exclusive)
236      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
237        required re-ordering the code a little:
238       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
239       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
240         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
241    
242    checkpoint58b_post
243    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
244      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
245    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
246      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
247      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
248      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
249    o adjoint:
250      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
251      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
252    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
253     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
254      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
255     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
256    o ecco
257      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
258    o adjoint
259      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
260      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
261      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
262        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
263    o seaice:
264     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
265       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
266         and ostres
267       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
268         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
269         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
270     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
271     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
272       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
273       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
274       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
275    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
276      include it only where its needed
277    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
278    o seaice:
279      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
280      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
281      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
282    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
283      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
284    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
285    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
286      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
287    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
288      (since checkpoint57x_post)
289    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
290    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
291      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
292    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
293      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
294      pkg/generic_advdiff
295    o seaice:
296      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
297        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
298        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
299      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
300      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
301      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
302        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
303      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
304      
305    checkpoint58a_post
306    o seaice:
307      - bug fix in advect.F
308    o shelfice:
309      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
310        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
311        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
312        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
313        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
314        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
315        deep-reaching shelfice.
316      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
317      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
318        now the default
319      - give a few constants more intuitive names
320    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
321      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
322      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
323      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
324      STDOUT.
325    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
326    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
327      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
328     - works
329     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
330              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
331                instead of new field kTopC
332              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
333                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
334                and ini_mask_etc.F?
335              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
336    o seaice pkg:
337     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
338       freezing point of sea water at the surface
339     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
340       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
341    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
342       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
343       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
344    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
345       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
346       (might add other options later)
347    o pkg/bulk_force:
348     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
349     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
350       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
351       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
352     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
353     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
354     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
355       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
356     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
357    
358    checkpoint58
359    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
360      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
361      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
362      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
363      - requested by CNH but off by default
364      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
365      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
366    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
367      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
368      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
369      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
370    
371    checkpoint57z_post
372    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
373      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
374    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
375    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
376    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
377      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
378    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
379    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
380         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
381    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
382         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
383      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
384      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
385          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
386          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
387      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
388          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
389          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
390      * 3 cases:
391          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
392          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
393          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
394    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
395      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
396      * enable at compile-time via
397        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
398      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
399      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
400      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
401    
402    checkpoint57y_post
403    First step for a NLFS adjoint
404    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
405    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
406    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
407    o testreport seemed happy
408    checkpoint57y_pre
409    
410    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
411    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
412    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
413    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
414    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
415      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
416    
417    checkpoint57x_post
418    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
419    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
420      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
421      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
422    o Non-Hydrostatic:
423     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
424     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
425    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
426     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
427     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
428       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
429     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
430    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
431    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
432    o adjoint
433      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
434        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
435      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
436    
437    checkpoint57w_post
438    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
439                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
440       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
441    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
442      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
443    o tracer advection scheme:
444      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
445       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
446       was not very convenient).
447      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
448       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
449    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
450      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
451      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
452      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
453    
454    checkpoint57v_post
455    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
456    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
457      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
458      identical results for a few days of testing
459    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
460      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
461      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
462      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
463       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
464    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
465      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
466      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
467    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
468      and for passive tracers
469    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
470      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
471      file).
472    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
473      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
474    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
475      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
476       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
477      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
478    
479    checkpoint57u_post
480    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
481      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
482        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
483        are treated
484      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
485        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
486      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
487        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
488        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
489        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
490        with EXF)
491    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
492    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
493      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
494    
495    checkpoint57t_post
496    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
497    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
498      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
499      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
500    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
501      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
502    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
503      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
504    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
505    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
506    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
507      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
508    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
509      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
510      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
511    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
512      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
513      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
514      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
515      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
516      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
517    
518    checkpoint57s_post
519    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
520      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
521      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
522      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
523      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
524      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
525      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
526      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
527    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
528    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
529      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
530      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
531      they did before.
532    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
533      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
534    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
535    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
536    o various changes to mnc including:
537      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
538      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
539          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
540      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
541          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
542      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
543    
544    checkpoint57r_post
545    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
546    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
547    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
548    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
549    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
550      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
551    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
552      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
553    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
554    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
555    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
556    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
557    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
558      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
559      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
560      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
561    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
562      (see README file)
563    
564    checkpoint57q_post
565    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
566    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
567      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
568    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
569      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
570    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
571      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
572      to be able to limit tapelev size
573    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
574      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
575      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
576      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
577    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
578      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
579      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
580    
581    checkpoint57p_post
582    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
583    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
584      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
585    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
586    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
587      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
588       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
589      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
590     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
591      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
592      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
593      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
594    
595    checkpoint57o_post
596    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
597      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
598    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
599      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
600    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
601      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
602      (worth another tag)
603    
604    checkpoint57n_post
605    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
606    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
607    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
608    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
609      for atmos. state.
610    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
611    o in natl_box_adjoint:
612      * updated exp 1 to 10
613        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
614    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
615      to incorporate latest changes
616    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
617      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
618    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
619    
620    checkpoint57m_post
621    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
622      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
623    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
624      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
625    
626    checkpoint57l_post
627     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
628    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
629       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
630    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
631       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
632    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
633          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
634    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
635    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
636      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
637    
638    checkpoint57k_post
639    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
640      new EXF diagnostics output.
641    
642    checkpoint57j_post
643    o exf
644      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
645        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
646        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
647      * extended diagnostics output
648        - now includes all EXF variables
649        - hs, hl moved to common block
650        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
651        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
652        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
653      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
654      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
655        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
656    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
657    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
658      several times with different frequencies.
659    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
660      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
661      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
662    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
663      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
664    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
665    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
666    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
667      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
668         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
669    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
670     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
671    
672    checkpoint57i_post
673    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
674      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
675    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
676      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
677    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
678    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
679      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
680    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
681    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
682    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
683      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
684    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
685      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
686    o pkg/diagnostics:
687      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
688      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
689    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
690    
691    checkpoint57h_done
692      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
693      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
694    
695    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
696      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
697    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
698      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
699    
700    checkpoint57h_post
701    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
702    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
703      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
704    checkpoint57h_pre
705    
706    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
707      and mnc_outdir_num are false
708    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
709      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
710    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
711      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
712    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
713    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
714    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
715    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
716      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
717    
718    checkpoint57g_post
719    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
720      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
721      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
722    checkpoint57g_pre
723    
724    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
725      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
726    o added new control variables
727      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
728      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
729    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
730      (suggested by G. Forget)
731    
732    checkpoint57f_post
733    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
734      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
735      account for baseTime shift
736    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
737    checkpoint57f_pre
738    
739    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
740    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
741      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
742    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
743    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
744      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
745      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
746      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
747    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
748      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
749    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
750    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
751      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
752        new version is now more standards-compliant
753    o adjoint-related modifications
754      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
755      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
756      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
757    
758    checkpoint57e_post
759    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
760    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
761    
762    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
763      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
764    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
765    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
766    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
767      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
768      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
769      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
770    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
771      - off by default for backwards compatibility
772      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
773    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
774    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
775    
776    checkpoint57d_post
777    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
778    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
779      output from the diagnostics package
780    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
781    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
782      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
783    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
784    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
785    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
786      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
787    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
788    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
789    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
790      at the end).
791    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
792      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
793    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
794    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
795      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
796      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
797    
798    checkpoint57c_post
799    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
800    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
801    checkpoint57c_pre
802    
803    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
804      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
805    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
806      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
807    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
808    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
809    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
810    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
811      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
812      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
813      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
814        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
815        *all* data points are output
816    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
817    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
818    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
819    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
820    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
821      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
822      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
823      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
824    o pkg/ctrl/
825      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
826        May be enabled via doPackDiag
827      *  introduce z-scaling of
828         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
829         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
830    o pkg/mdsio/
831      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
832      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
833    
834    checkpoint57b_post
835    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
836    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
837      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
838      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
839    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
840    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
841      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
842     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
843    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
844      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
845            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
846    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
847      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
848    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
849      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
850        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
851    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
852    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
853    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
854      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
855      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
856    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
857    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
858      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
859      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
860      - restore use of make (not gmake)
861      - add CC=gcc if using g77
862    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
863      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
864        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
865        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
866        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
867      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
868        changed)
869      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
870    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
871      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
872      preprocessors
873    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
874     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
875     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
876     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
877       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
878       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
879    
880    checkpoint57a_post
881    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
882      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
883      (what a pain)
884    
885    checkpoint57a_pre
886    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
887    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
888    
889    checkpoint57
890    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
891      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
892      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
893      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
894    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
895    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
896    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
897      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
898    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
899      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
900    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
901      and include in natl_box_adjoint
902    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
903      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
904    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
905      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
906    
907    checkpoint56c_post
908    o OBCS as control variables
909      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
910      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
911      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
912      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
913      - add dummy weights for obcs
914    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
915    o optim:
916      - remove unnecessary header files
917      - adjusted namelists
918      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
919    o exf:
920      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
921      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
922    o mdsio:
923      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
924    
925    checkpoint56b_post
926    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
927      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
928      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
929      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
930      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
931    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
932      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
933      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
934    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
935      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
936      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
937      testreport.
938    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
939    
940    checkpoint56a_post
941    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
942      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
943        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
944        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
945        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
946      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
947      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
948      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
949        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
950    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
951    o PTRACERS:
952      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
953        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
954        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
955      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
956        monitorFreq
957      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
958    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
959    o exf_check_range:
960      * default changed to .TRUE.
961      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
962      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
963      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
964      TBD: a version with stricter range
965           permitted range would be runtime parameters
966  o GMredi:  o GMredi:
967    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
968    - 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.

975        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
976      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
977        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
978        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
979        of ptracers_forcing
980      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
