6    
7    checkpoint58r_post
8    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
9      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
10      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
11      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
12    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
13    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
14      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
15    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
16      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
17    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
18      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
19      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
20    o multi-threading and IO:
21      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
22      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
23        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
24    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
25      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
26    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
27      (will certainly be subject to changes)
28    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
29      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
30    
31    checkpoint58q_post
32    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
33      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
34      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
35    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
36      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
37      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
38    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
39      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
40    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
41    
42    checkpoint58p_post
43    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
44    o shelfice:
45     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
46     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
47       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
48       stable
49    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
50    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
51      and updated flow directives
52    
53    checkpoint58o_post
54    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
55      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
56    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
57      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
58    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
59    o simplify EXCH interface:
60     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
61     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
62    o added the regrid package
63    o shelfice:
64     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
65     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
66    
67    checkpoint58n_post
68    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
69       local variable (not in common block).
70    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
71      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
72      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
73        to work with SingleCpuIO.
74    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
75       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
76    o multi-threading and IO:
77      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
78        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
79      - barrier before and after reading.
80      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
81      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
82      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
83        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
84    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
85      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
86    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
87    
88    checkpoint58m_post
89    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
90       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
91    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
92       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
93       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
94    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
95        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
96    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
97    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
98    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
99    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
100      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
101    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
102    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
103      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
104      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
105    o calc_gw:
106     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
107     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
108       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
109    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
110    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
111      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
112      truncation level, 11 digits).
113    
114    checkpoint58l_post
115    o calc_gw:
116     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
117     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
118     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
119    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
120      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
121    o pkg/ecco:
122      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
123        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
124      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
125      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
126        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
127      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
128        including separate counting and multipliers
129    o pkg/rbcs
130      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
131    
132    checkpoint58k_post
133    o testreport:
134     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
135       & running in input)
136     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
137     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
138     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
139    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
140       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
141       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
142       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
143    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
144     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
145       end of the routine.
146    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
147      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
148    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
149    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
150    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
151    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
152      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
153    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
154       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
155    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
156    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
157    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
158       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
159    o tracer advection:
160     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
161     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
162       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
163    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
164    
165    checkpoint58j_post
166    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
167      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
168    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
169    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
170    o genmake2
171      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
172    
173    checkpoint58i_post
174    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
175      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
176    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
177      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
178    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
179      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
180    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
181    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
182    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
183      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
184        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
185      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
186    
187    checkpoint58h_post
188    * Modifications for bottom topography control
189      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
190      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
191      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
192      o update autodiff support routines
193      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
194      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
195    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
196    
197    checkpoint58g_post
198    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
199       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
200       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
201    o pkg/ggl90:
202      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
203      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
204    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
205      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
206      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
207      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
208      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
209        desired results either
210    o pkg/seaice
211      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
212    
213    checkpoint58f_post
214    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
215      to pkg/seaice):
216      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
217      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
218    o pkg/exf:
219      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
220      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
221      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
222      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
223        exf_radiation, exf_wind
224      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
225        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
226      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
227        either wind from stress or stress from wind
228    o pkg/thSIce:
229    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
230    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
231       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
232    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
233    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
234      to make debugging easier.
235    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
236    o pkg/bulk_force:
237      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
238      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
239    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
240      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
241    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
242      testreport accordingly
243    
244    checkpoint58e_post
245    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
246    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
247      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
248      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
249    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
250      to be able to use it in pure forward.
251    
252    checkpoint58d_post
253    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
254     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
255      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
256      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
257      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
258      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
259      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
260      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
261      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
262      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
263      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
264     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
265    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
266    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
267      with larger stencil
268    o thsice adjoint: start
269    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
270      completeness
271    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
272      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
273    o ptracers adjoint:
274      * avoid extensive recomputatations
275      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
276    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
277      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
278    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
279      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
280    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
281      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
282    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
283    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
284      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
285    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
286    o new package prifiles:
287      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
288      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
289    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
290      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
291    
292    checkpoint58c_post
293    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
294      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
295    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
296      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
297      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
298      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
299    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
300      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
301    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
302    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
303      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
304      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
305    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
306      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
307    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
308      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
309    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
310    o seaice:
311      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
312      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
313        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
314      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
315      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
316        C-grid solver
317      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
318      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
319        are now exclusive)
320      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
321        required re-ordering the code a little:
322       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
323       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
324         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
325    
326    checkpoint58b_post
327    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
328      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
329    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
330      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
331      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
332      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
333    o adjoint:
334      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
335      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
336    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
337     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
338      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
339     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
340    o ecco
341      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
342    o adjoint
343      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
344      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
345      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
346        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
347    o seaice:
348     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
349       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
350         and ostres
351       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
352         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
353         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
354     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
355     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
356       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
357       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
358       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
359    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
360      include it only where its needed
361    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
362    o seaice:
363      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
364      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
365      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
366    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
367      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
368    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
369    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
370      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
371    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
372      (since checkpoint57x_post)
373    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
374    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
375      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
376    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
377      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
378      pkg/generic_advdiff
379    o seaice:
380      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
381        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
382        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
383      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
384      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
385      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
386        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
387      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
388      
389    checkpoint58a_post
390    o seaice:
391      - bug fix in advect.F
392    o shelfice:
393      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
394        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
395        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
396        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
397        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
398        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
399        deep-reaching shelfice.
400      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
401      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
402        now the default
403      - give a few constants more intuitive names
404    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
405      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
406      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
407      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
408      STDOUT.
409    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
410    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
411      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
412     - works
413     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
414              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
415                instead of new field kTopC
416              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
417                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
418                and ini_mask_etc.F?
419              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
420    o seaice pkg:
421     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
422       freezing point of sea water at the surface
423     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
424       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
425    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
426       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
427       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
428    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
429       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
430       (might add other options later)
431    o pkg/bulk_force:
432     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
433     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
434       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
435       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
436     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
437     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
438     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
439       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
440     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
441    
442    checkpoint58
443    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
444      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
445      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
446      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
447      - requested by CNH but off by default
448      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
449      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
450    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
451      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
452      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
453      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
454    
455    checkpoint57z_post
456    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
457      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
458    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
459    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
460    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
461      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
462    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
463    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
464         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
465    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
466         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
467      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
468      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
469          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
470          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
471      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
472          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
473          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
474      * 3 cases:
475          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
476          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
477          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
478    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
479      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
480      * enable at compile-time via
481        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
482      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
483      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
484      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
485    
486    checkpoint57y_post
487    First step for a NLFS adjoint
488    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
489    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
490    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
491    o testreport seemed happy
492    checkpoint57y_pre
493    
494    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
495    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
496    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
497    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
498    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
499      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
500    
501    checkpoint57x_post
502    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
503    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
504      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
505      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
506    o Non-Hydrostatic:
507     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
508     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
509    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
510     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
511     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
512       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
513     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
514    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
515    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
516    o adjoint
517      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
518        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
519      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
520    
521    checkpoint57w_post
522    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
523                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
524       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
525    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
526      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
527    o tracer advection scheme:
528      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
529       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
530       was not very convenient).
531      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
532       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
533    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
534      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
535      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
536      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
537    
538    checkpoint57v_post
539    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
540    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
541      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
542      identical results for a few days of testing
543    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
544      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
545      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
546      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
547       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
548    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
549      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
550      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
551    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
552      and for passive tracers
553    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
554      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
555      file).
556    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
557      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
558    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
559      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
560       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
561      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
562    
563    checkpoint57u_post
564    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
565      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
566        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
567        are treated
568      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
569        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
570      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
571        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
572        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
573        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
574        with EXF)
575    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
576    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
577      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
578    
579    checkpoint57t_post
580    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
581    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
582      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
583      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
584    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
585      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
586    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
587      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
588    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
589    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
590    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
591      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
592    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
593      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
594      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
595    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
596      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
597      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
598      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
599      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
600      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
601    
602    checkpoint57s_post
603    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
604      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
605      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
606      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
607      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
608      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
609      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
610      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
611    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
612    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
613      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
614      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
615      they did before.
616    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
617      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
618    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
619    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
620    o various changes to mnc including:
621      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
622      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
623          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
624      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
625          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
626      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
627    
628    checkpoint57r_post
629    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
630    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
631    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
632    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
633    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
634      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
635    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
636      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
637    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
638    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
639    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
640    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
641    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
642      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
643      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
644      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
645    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
646      (see README file)
647    
648    checkpoint57q_post
649    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
650    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
651      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
652    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
653      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
654    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
655      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
656      to be able to limit tapelev size
657    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
658      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
659      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
660      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
661    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
662      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
663      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
664    
665    checkpoint57p_post
666    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
667    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
668      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
669    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
670    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
671      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
672       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
673      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
674     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
675      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
676      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
677      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
678    
679    checkpoint57o_post
680    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
681      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
682    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
683      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
684    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
685      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
686      (worth another tag)
687    
688    checkpoint57n_post
689    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
690    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
691    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
692    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
693      for atmos. state.
694    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
695    o in natl_box_adjoint:
696      * updated exp 1 to 10
697        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
698    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
699      to incorporate latest changes
700    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
701      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
702    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
703    
704    checkpoint57m_post
705    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
706      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
707    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
708      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
709    
710    checkpoint57l_post
711     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
712    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
713       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
714    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
715       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
716    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
717          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
718    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
719    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
720      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
721    
722    checkpoint57k_post
723    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
724      new EXF diagnostics output.
725    
726    checkpoint57j_post
727    o exf
728      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
729        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
730        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
731      * extended diagnostics output
732        - now includes all EXF variables
733        - hs, hl moved to common block
734        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
735        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
736        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
737      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
738      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
739        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
740    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
741    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
742      several times with different frequencies.
743    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
744      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
745      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
746    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
747      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
748    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
749    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
750    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
751      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
752         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
753    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
754     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
755    
756    checkpoint57i_post
757    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
758      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
759    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
760      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
761    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
762    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
763      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
764    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
765    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
766    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
767      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
768    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
769      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
770    o pkg/diagnostics:
771      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
772      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
773    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
774    
775    checkpoint57h_done
776      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
777      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
778    
779    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
780      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
781    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
782      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
783    
784    checkpoint57h_post
785    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
786    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
787      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
788    checkpoint57h_pre
789    
790    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
791      and mnc_outdir_num are false
792    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
793      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
794    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
795      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
796    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
797    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
798    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
799    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
800      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
801    
802    checkpoint57g_post
803    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
804      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
805      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
806    checkpoint57g_pre
807    
808    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
809      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
810    o added new control variables
811      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
812      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
813    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
814      (suggested by G. Forget)
815    
816    checkpoint57f_post
817    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
818      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
819      account for baseTime shift
820    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
821    checkpoint57f_pre
822    
823    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
824    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
825      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
826    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
827    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
828      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
829      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
830      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
831    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
832      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
833    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
834    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
835      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
836        new version is now more standards-compliant
837    o adjoint-related modifications
838      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
839      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
840      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
841    
842    checkpoint57e_post
843    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
844    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
845    
846    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
847      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
848    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
849    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
850    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
851      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
852      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
853      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
854    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
855      - off by default for backwards compatibility
856      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
857    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
858    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
859    
860    checkpoint57d_post
861    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
862    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
863      output from the diagnostics package
864    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
865    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
866      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
867    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
868    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
869    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
870      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
871    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
872    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
873    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
874      at the end).
875    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
876      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
877    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
878    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
879      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
880      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
881    
882    checkpoint57c_post
883    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
884    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
885    checkpoint57c_pre
886    
887    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
888      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
889    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
890      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
891    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
892    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
893    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
894    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
895      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
896      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
897      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
898        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
899        *all* data points are output
900    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
901    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
902    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
903    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
904    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
905      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
906      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
907      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
908    o pkg/ctrl/
909      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
910        May be enabled via doPackDiag
911      *  introduce z-scaling of
912         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
913         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
914    o pkg/mdsio/
915      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
916      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
917    
918    checkpoint57b_post
919    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
920    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
921      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
922      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
923    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
924    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
925      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
926     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
927    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
928      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
929            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
930    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
931      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
932    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
933      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
934        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
935    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
936    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
937    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
938      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
939      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
940    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
941    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
942      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
943      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
944      - restore use of make (not gmake)
945      - add CC=gcc if using g77
946    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
947      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
948        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
949        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
950        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
951      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
952        changed)
953      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
954    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
955      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
956      preprocessors
957    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
958     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
959     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
960     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
961       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
962       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
963    
964    checkpoint57a_post
965    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
966      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
967      (what a pain)
968    
969    checkpoint57a_pre
970    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
971    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
972    
973    checkpoint57
974    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
975      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
976      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
977      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
978    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
979    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
980    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
981      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
982    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
983      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
984    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
985      and include in natl_box_adjoint
986    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
987      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
988    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
989      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
990    
991    checkpoint56c_post
992    o OBCS as control variables
993      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
994      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
995      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
996      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
997      - add dummy weights for obcs
998    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
999    o optim:
1000      - remove unnecessary header files
1001      - adjusted namelists
1002      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
1003    o exf:
1004      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
1005      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
1006    o mdsio:
1007      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
1008    
1009    checkpoint56b_post
1010    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
1011      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
1012      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
1013      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
1014      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
1015    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
1016      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
1017      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
1018    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
1019      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
1020      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
1021      testreport.
1022    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
1023    
1024    checkpoint56a_post
1025    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
1026      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
1027        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
1028        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
1029        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
1030      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
1031      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
1032      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
1033        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
1034    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
1035    o PTRACERS:
1036      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
1037        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
1038        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
1039      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
1040        monitorFreq
1041      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
1042    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
1043    o exf_check_range:
1044      * default changed to .TRUE.
1045      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
1046      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
1047      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
1048      TBD: a version with stricter range
1049           permitted range would be runtime parameters
1050  o GMredi:  o GMredi:
1051    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
1052    - 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.

1058      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
1059        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
1060      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
1061        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
1062        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
1063        of ptracers_forcing
1064      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
1065        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
1066      - cleaning up
