4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
8      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
9    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
10    
11    checkpoint58m_post
12    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
13       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
14    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
15       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
16       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
17    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
18        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
19    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
20    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
21    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
22    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
23      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
24    o profiles: now ok for mutli-threaded case
25    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
26      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
27      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
28    o calc_gw:
29     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
30     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
31       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
32    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
33    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
34      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
35      truncation level, 11 digits).
36    
37    checkpoint58l_post
38    o calc_gw:
39     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
40     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
41     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
42    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
43      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
44    o pkg/ecco:
45      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
46        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
47      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
48      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
49        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
50      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
51        including separate counting and multipliers
52    o pkg/rbcs
53      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
54    
55    checkpoint58k_post
56    o testreport:
57     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
58       & running in input)
59     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
60     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
61     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
62    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
63       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
64       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
65       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
66    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
67     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
68       end of the routine.
69    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
70      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
71    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
72    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
73    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
74    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
75      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
76    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
77       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
78    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
79    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
80    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
81       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
82    o tracer advection:
83     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
84     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
85       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
86    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
87    
88    checkpoint58j_post
89    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
90      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
91    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
92    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
93    o genmake2
94      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
95    
96    checkpoint58i_post
97    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
98      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
99    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
100      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
101    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
102      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
103    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
104    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
105    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
106      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
107        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
108      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
109    
110    checkpoint58h_post
111    * Modifications for bottom topography control
112      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
113      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
114      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
115      o update autodiff support routines
116      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
117      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
118    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
119    
120    checkpoint58g_post
121    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
122       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
123       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
124    o pkg/ggl90:
125      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
126      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
127    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
128      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
129      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
130      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
131      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
132        desired results either
133    o pkg/seaice
134      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
135    
136    checkpoint58f_post
137    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
138      to pkg/seaice):
139      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
140      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
141    o pkg/exf:
142      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
143      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
144      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
145      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
146        exf_radiation, exf_wind
147      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
148        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
149      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
150        either wind from stress or stress from wind
151    o pkg/thSIce:
152    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
153    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
154       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
155    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
156    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
157      to make debugging easier.
158    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
159    o pkg/bulk_force:
160      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
161      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
162    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
163      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
164    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
165      testreport accordingly
166    
167    checkpoint58e_post
168    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
169    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
170      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
171      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
172    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
173      to be able to use it in pure forward.
174    
175    checkpoint58d_post
176    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
177     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
178      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
179      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
180      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
181      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
182      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
183      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
184      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
185      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
186      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
187     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
188    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
189    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
190      with larger stencil
191    o thsice adjoint: start
192    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
193      completeness
194    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
195      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
196    o ptracers adjoint:
197      * avoid extensive recomputatations
198      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
199    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
200      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
201    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
202      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
203    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
204      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
205    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
206    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
207      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
208    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
209    o new package prifiles:
210      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
211      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
212    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
213      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
214    
215    checkpoint58c_post
216    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
217      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
218    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
219      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
220      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
221      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
222    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
223      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
224    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
225    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
226      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
227      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
228    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
229      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
230    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
231      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
232    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
233    o seaice:
234      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
235      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
236        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
237      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
238      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
239        C-grid solver
240      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
241      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
242        are now exclusive)
243      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
244        required re-ordering the code a little:
245       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
246       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
247         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
248    
249    checkpoint58b_post
250    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
251      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
252    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
253      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
254      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
255      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
256    o adjoint:
257      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
258      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
259    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
260     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
261      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
262     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
263    o ecco
264      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
265    o adjoint
266      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
267      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
268      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
269        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
270    o seaice:
271     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
272       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
273         and ostres
274       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
275         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
276         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
277     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
278     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
279       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
280       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
281       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
282    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
283      include it only where its needed
284    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
285    o seaice:
286      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
287      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
288      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
289    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
290      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
291    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
292    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
293      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
294    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
295      (since checkpoint57x_post)
296    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
297    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
298      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
299    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
300      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
301      pkg/generic_advdiff
302    o seaice:
303      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
304        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
305        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
306      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
307      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
308      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
309        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
310      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
311      
312    checkpoint58a_post
313    o seaice:
314      - bug fix in advect.F
315    o shelfice:
316      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
317        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
318        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
319        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
320        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
321        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
322        deep-reaching shelfice.
323      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
324      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
325        now the default
326      - give a few constants more intuitive names
327    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
328      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
329      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
330      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
331      STDOUT.
332    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
333    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
334      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
335     - works
336     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
337              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
338                instead of new field kTopC
339              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
340                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
341                and ini_mask_etc.F?
342              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
343    o seaice pkg:
344     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
345       freezing point of sea water at the surface
346     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
347       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
348    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
349       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
350       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
351    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
352       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
353       (might add other options later)
354    o pkg/bulk_force:
355     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
356     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
357       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
358       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
359     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
360     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
361     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
362       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
363     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
364    
365    checkpoint58
366    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
367      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
368      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
369      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
370      - requested by CNH but off by default
371      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
372      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
373    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
374      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
375      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
376      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
377    
378    checkpoint57z_post
379    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
380      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
381    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
382    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
383    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
384      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
385    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
386    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
387         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
388    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
389         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
390      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
391      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
392          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
393          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
394      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
395          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
396          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
397      * 3 cases:
398          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
399          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
400          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
401    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
402      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
403      * enable at compile-time via
404        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
405      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
406      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
407      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
408    
409    checkpoint57y_post
410    First step for a NLFS adjoint
411    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
412    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
413    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
414    o testreport seemed happy
415    checkpoint57y_pre
416    
417    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
418    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
419    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
420    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
421    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
422      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
423    
424    checkpoint57x_post
425    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
426    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
427      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
428      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
429    o Non-Hydrostatic:
430     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
431     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
432    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
433     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
434     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
435       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
436     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
437    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
438    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
439    o adjoint
440      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
441        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
442      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
443    
444    checkpoint57w_post
445    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
446                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
447       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
448    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
449      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
450    o tracer advection scheme:
451      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
452       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
453       was not very convenient).
454      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
455       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
456    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
457      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
458      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
459      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
460    
461    checkpoint57v_post
462    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
463    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
464      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
465      identical results for a few days of testing
466    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
467      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
468      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
469      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
470       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
471    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
472      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
473      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
474    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
475      and for passive tracers
476    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
477      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
478      file).
479    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
480      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
481    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
482      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
483       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
484      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
485    
486    checkpoint57u_post
487    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
488      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
489        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
490        are treated
491      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
492        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
493      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
494        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
495        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
496        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
497        with EXF)
498    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
499    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
500      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
501    
502    checkpoint57t_post
503    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
504    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
505      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
506      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
507    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
508      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
509    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
510      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
511    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
512    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
513    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
514      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
515    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
516      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
517      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
518    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
519      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
520      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
521      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
522      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
523      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
524    
525    checkpoint57s_post
526    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
527      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
528      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
529      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
530      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
531      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
532      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
533      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
534    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
535    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
536      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
537      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
538      they did before.
539    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
540      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
541    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
542    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
543    o various changes to mnc including:
544      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
545      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
546          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
547      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
548          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
549      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
550    
551    checkpoint57r_post
552    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
553    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
554    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
555    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
556    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
557      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
558    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
559      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
560    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
561    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
562    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
563    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
564    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
565      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
566      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
567      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
568    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
569      (see README file)
570    
571    checkpoint57q_post
572    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
573    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
574      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
575    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
576      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
577    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
578      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
579      to be able to limit tapelev size
580    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
581      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
582      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
583      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
584    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
585      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
586      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
587    
588    checkpoint57p_post
589    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
590    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
591      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
592    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
593    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
594      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
595       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
596      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
597     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
598      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
599      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
600      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
601    
602    checkpoint57o_post
603    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
604      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
605    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
606      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
607    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
608      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
609      (worth another tag)
610    
611    checkpoint57n_post
612    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
613    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
614    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
615    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
616      for atmos. state.
617    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
618    o in natl_box_adjoint:
619      * updated exp 1 to 10
620        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
621    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
622      to incorporate latest changes
623    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
624      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
625    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
626    
627    checkpoint57m_post
628    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
629      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
630    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
631      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
632    
633    checkpoint57l_post
634     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
635    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
636       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
637    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
638       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
639    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
640          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
641    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
642    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
643      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
644    
645    checkpoint57k_post
646    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
647      new EXF diagnostics output.
648    
649    checkpoint57j_post
650    o exf
651      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
652        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
653        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
654      * extended diagnostics output
655        - now includes all EXF variables
656        - hs, hl moved to common block
657        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
658        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
659        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
660      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
661      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
662        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
663    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
664    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
665      several times with different frequencies.
666    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
667      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
668      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
669    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
670      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
671    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
672    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
673    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
674      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
675         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
676    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
677     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
678    
679    checkpoint57i_post
680    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
681      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
682    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
683      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
684    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
685    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
686      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
687    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
688    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
689    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
690      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
691    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
692      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
693    o pkg/diagnostics:
694      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
695      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
696    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
697    
698    checkpoint57h_done
699      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
700      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
701    
702    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
703      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
704    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
705      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
706    
707    checkpoint57h_post
708    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
709    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
710      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
711    checkpoint57h_pre
712    
713    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
714      and mnc_outdir_num are false
715    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
716      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
717    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
718      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
719    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
720    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
721    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
722    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
723      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
724    
725    checkpoint57g_post
726    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
727      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
728      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
729    checkpoint57g_pre
730    
731    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
732      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
733    o added new control variables
734      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
735      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
736    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
737      (suggested by G. Forget)
738    
739    checkpoint57f_post
740    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
741      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
742      account for baseTime shift
743    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
744    checkpoint57f_pre
745    
746    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
747    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
748      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
749    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
750    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
751      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
752      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
753      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
754    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
755      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
756    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
757    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
758      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
759        new version is now more standards-compliant
760    o adjoint-related modifications
761      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
762      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
763      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
764    
765    checkpoint57e_post
766    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
767    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
768    
769    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
770      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
771    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
772    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
773    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
774      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
775      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
776      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
777    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
778      - off by default for backwards compatibility
779      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
780    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
781    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
782    
783    checkpoint57d_post
784    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
785    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
786      output from the diagnostics package
787    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
788    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
789      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
790    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
791    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
792    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
793      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
794    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
795    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
796    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
797      at the end).
798    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
799      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
800    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
801    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
802      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
803      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
804    
805    checkpoint57c_post
806    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
807    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
808    checkpoint57c_pre
809    
810    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
811      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
812    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
813      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
814    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
815    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
816    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
817    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
818      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
819      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
820      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
821        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
822        *all* data points are output
823    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
824    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
825    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
826    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
827    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
828      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
829      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
830      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
831    o pkg/ctrl/
832      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
833        May be enabled via doPackDiag
834      *  introduce z-scaling of
835         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
836         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
837    o pkg/mdsio/
838      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
839      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
840    
841    checkpoint57b_post
842    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
843    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
844      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
845      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
846    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
847    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
848      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
849     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
850    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
851      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
852            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
853    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
854      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
855    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
856      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
857        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
858    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
859    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
860    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
861      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
862      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
863    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
864    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
865      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
866      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
867      - restore use of make (not gmake)
868      - add CC=gcc if using g77
869    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
870      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
871        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
872        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
873        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
874      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
875        changed)
876      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
877    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
878      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
879      preprocessors
880    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
881     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
882     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
883     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
884       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
885       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
886    
887    checkpoint57a_post
888    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
889      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
890      (what a pain)
891    
892    checkpoint57a_pre
893    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
894    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
895    
896    checkpoint57
897    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
898      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
899      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
900      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
901    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
902    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
903    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
904      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
905    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
906      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
907    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
908      and include in natl_box_adjoint
909    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
910      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
911    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
912      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
913    
914    checkpoint56c_post
915    o OBCS as control variables
916      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
917      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
918      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
919      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
920      - add dummy weights for obcs
921    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
922    o optim:
923      - remove unnecessary header files
924      - adjusted namelists
925      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
926    o exf:
927      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
928      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
929    o mdsio:
930      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
931    
932    checkpoint56b_post
933    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
934      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
935      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
936      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
937      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
938    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
939      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
940      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
941    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
942      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
943      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
944      testreport.
945    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
946    
947    checkpoint56a_post
948    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
949      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
950        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
951        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
952        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
953      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
954      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
955      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
956        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
957    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
958    o PTRACERS:
959      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
960        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
961        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
962      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
963        monitorFreq
964      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
965    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
966    o exf_check_range:
967      * default changed to .TRUE.
968      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
969      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
970      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
971      TBD: a version with stricter range
972           permitted range would be runtime parameters
973  o GMredi:  o GMredi:
974    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
975    - 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.

981      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
982        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
983      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
984        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
985        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
986        of ptracers_forcing
987      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
988        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
