4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o IO option for global-file compact format:
8      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
9      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
10      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
11      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
12    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
13    
14    checkpoint58w_post
15    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
16      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
17      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
18      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
19                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
20    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
21      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
22    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
23     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
24     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
25       mass points to avoid tau = 0
26     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
27    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
28    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
29      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
30    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
31    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
32    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
33      to all packages
34    
35    checkpoint58v_post
36    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
37      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
38    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
39    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
40      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
41    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
42      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
43      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
44    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
45      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
46    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
47     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
48     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
49     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
50       and serious testing.
51     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
52       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
53    
54    checkpoint58u_post
55    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
56    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
57    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
58    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
59      momentum calculation.
60    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
61    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
62      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
63      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
64    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
65      Linear Free surface
66    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
67    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
68    
69    checkpoint58t_post
70    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
71    o pkg/mdsio:
72     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
73       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
74       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
75     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
76     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
77       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
78     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
79       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
80     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
81    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
82       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
83      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
84       diagnostic pointer.
85    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
86    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
87    o fix multi-category seaice:
88     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
89       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
90     - fix short wave heat flux
91    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
92       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
93       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
94    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
95      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
96      * used C-grid and EVP solver
97      * used KPP, GM/Redi
98      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
99      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
100        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
101        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
102        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
103    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
104     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
105     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
106     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
107       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
108     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
109     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
110       as atemp, etc.
111    
112    checkpoint58s_post
113    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
114      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
115        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
116        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
117    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
118      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
119      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
120        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
121        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
122        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
123        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
124        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
125    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
126    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
127      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
128    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
129    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
130    
131    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
132      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
133      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
134      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
135      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
136      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
137      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
138      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
139      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
140      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
141    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
142      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
143      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
144      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
145    
146    checkpoint58r_post
147    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
148      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
149      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
150      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
151    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
152    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
153      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
154    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
155      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
156    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
157      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
158      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
159    o multi-threading and IO:
160      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
161      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
162        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
163    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
164      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
165    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
166      (will certainly be subject to changes)
167    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
168      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
169    
170    checkpoint58q_post
171    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
172      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
173      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
174    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
175      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
176      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
177    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
178      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
179    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
180    
181    checkpoint58p_post
182    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
183    o shelfice:
184     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
185     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
186       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
187       stable
188    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
189    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
190      and updated flow directives
191    
192    checkpoint58o_post
193    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
194      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
195    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
196      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
197    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
198    o simplify EXCH interface:
199     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
200     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
201    o added the regrid package
202    o shelfice:
203     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
204     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
205    
206    checkpoint58n_post
207    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
208       local variable (not in common block).
209    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
210      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
211      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
212        to work with SingleCpuIO.
213    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
214       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
215    o multi-threading and IO:
216      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
217        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
218      - barrier before and after reading.
219      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
220      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
221      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
222        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
223    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
224      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
225    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
226    
227    checkpoint58m_post
228    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
229       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
230    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
231       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
232       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
233    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
234        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
235    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
236    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
237    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
238    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
239      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
240    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
241    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
242      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
243      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
244    o calc_gw:
245     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
246     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
247       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
248    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
249    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
250      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
251      truncation level, 11 digits).
252    
253    checkpoint58l_post
254    o calc_gw:
255     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
256     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
257     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
258    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
259      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
260    o pkg/ecco:
261      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
262        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
263      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
264      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
265        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
266      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
267        including separate counting and multipliers
268    o pkg/rbcs
269      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
270    
271    checkpoint58k_post
272    o testreport:
273     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
274       & running in input)
275     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
276     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
277     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
278    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
279       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
280       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
281       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
282    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
283     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
284       end of the routine.
285    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
286      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
287    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
288    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
289    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
290    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
291      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
292    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
293       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
294    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
295    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
296    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
297       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
298    o tracer advection:
299     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
300     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
301       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
302    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
303    
304    checkpoint58j_post
305    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
306      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
307    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
308    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
309    o genmake2
310      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
311    
312    checkpoint58i_post
313    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
314      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
315    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
316      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
317    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
318      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
319    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
320    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
321    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
322      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
323        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
324      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
325    
326    checkpoint58h_post
327    * Modifications for bottom topography control
328      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
329      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
330      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
331      o update autodiff support routines
332      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
333      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
334    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
335    
336    checkpoint58g_post
337    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
338       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
339       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
340    o pkg/ggl90:
341      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
342      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
343    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
344      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
345      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
346      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
347      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
348        desired results either
349    o pkg/seaice
350      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
351    
352    checkpoint58f_post
353    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
354      to pkg/seaice):
355      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
356      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
357    o pkg/exf:
358      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
359      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
360      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
361      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
362        exf_radiation, exf_wind
363      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
364        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
365      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
366        either wind from stress or stress from wind
367    o pkg/thSIce:
368    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
369    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
370       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
371    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
372    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
373      to make debugging easier.
374    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
375    o pkg/bulk_force:
376      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
377      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
378    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
379      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
380    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
381      testreport accordingly
382    
383    checkpoint58e_post
384    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
385    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
386      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
387      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
388    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
389      to be able to use it in pure forward.
390    
391    checkpoint58d_post
392    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
393     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
394      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
395      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
396      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
397      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
398      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
399      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
400      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
401      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
402      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
403     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
404    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
405    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
406      with larger stencil
407    o thsice adjoint: start
408    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
409      completeness
410    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
411      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
412    o ptracers adjoint:
413      * avoid extensive recomputatations
414      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
415    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
416      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
417    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
418      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
419    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
420      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
421    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
422    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
423      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
424    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
425    o new package prifiles:
426      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
427      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
428    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
429      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
430    
431    checkpoint58c_post
432    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
433      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
434    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
435      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
436      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
437      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
438    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
439      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
440    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
441    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
442      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
443      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
444    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
445      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
446    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
447      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
448    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
449    o seaice:
450      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
451      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
452        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
453      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
454      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
455        C-grid solver
456      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
457      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
458        are now exclusive)
459      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
460        required re-ordering the code a little:
461       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
462       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
463         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
464    
465    checkpoint58b_post
466    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
467      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
468    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
469      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
470      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
471      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
472    o adjoint:
473      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
474      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
475    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
476     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
477      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
478     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
479    o ecco
480      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
481    o adjoint
482      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
483      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
484      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
485        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
486    o seaice:
487     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
488       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
489         and ostres
490       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
491         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
492         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
493     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
494     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
495       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
496       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
497       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
498    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
499      include it only where its needed
500    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
501    o seaice:
502      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
503      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
504      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
505    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
506      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
507    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
508    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
509      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
510    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
511      (since checkpoint57x_post)
512    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
513    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
514      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
515    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
516      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
517      pkg/generic_advdiff
518    o seaice:
519      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
520        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
521        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
522      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
523      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
524      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
525        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
526      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
527      
528    checkpoint58a_post
529    o seaice:
530      - bug fix in advect.F
531    o shelfice:
532      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
533        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
534        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
535        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
536        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
537        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
538        deep-reaching shelfice.
539      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
540      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
541        now the default
542      - give a few constants more intuitive names
543    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
544      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
545      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
546      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
547      STDOUT.
548    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
549    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
550      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
551     - works
552     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
553              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
554                instead of new field kTopC
555              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
556                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
557                and ini_mask_etc.F?
558              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
559    o seaice pkg:
560     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
561       freezing point of sea water at the surface
562     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
563       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
564    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
565       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
566       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
567    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
568       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
569       (might add other options later)
570    o pkg/bulk_force:
571     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
572     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
573       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
574       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
575     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
576     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
577     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
578       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
579     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
580    
581    checkpoint58
582    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
583      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
584      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
585      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
586      - requested by CNH but off by default
587      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
588      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
589    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
590      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
591      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
592      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
593    
594    checkpoint57z_post
595    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
596      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
597    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
598    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
599    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
600      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
601    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
602    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
603         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
604    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
605         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
606      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
607      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
608          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
609          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
610      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
611          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
612          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
613      * 3 cases:
614          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
615          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
616          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
617    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
618      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
619      * enable at compile-time via
620        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
621      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
622      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
623      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
624    
625    checkpoint57y_post
626    First step for a NLFS adjoint
627    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
628    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
629    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
630    o testreport seemed happy
631    checkpoint57y_pre
632    
633    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
634    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
635    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
636    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
637    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
638      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
639    
640    checkpoint57x_post
641    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
642    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
643      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
644      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
645    o Non-Hydrostatic:
646     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
647     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
648    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
649     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
650     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
651       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
652     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
653    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
654    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
655    o adjoint
656      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
657        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
658      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
659    
660    checkpoint57w_post
661    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
662                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
663       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
664    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
665      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
666    o tracer advection scheme:
667      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
668       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
669       was not very convenient).
670      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
671       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
672    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
673      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
674      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
675      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
676    
677    checkpoint57v_post
678    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
679    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
680      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
681      identical results for a few days of testing
682    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
683      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
684      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
685      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
686       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
687    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
688      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
689      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
690    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
691      and for passive tracers
692    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
693      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
694      file).
695    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
696      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
697    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
698      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
699       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
700      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
701    
702    checkpoint57u_post
703    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
704      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
705        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
706        are treated
707      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
708        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
709      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
710        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
711        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
712        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
713        with EXF)
714    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
715    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
716      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
717    
718    checkpoint57t_post
719    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
720    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
721      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
722      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
723    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
724      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
725    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
726      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
727    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
728    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
729    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
730      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
731    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
732      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
733      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
734    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
735      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
736      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
737      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
738      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
739      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
740    
741    checkpoint57s_post
742    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
743      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
744      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
745      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
746      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
747      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
748      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
749      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
750    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
751    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
752      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
753      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
754      they did before.
755    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
756      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
757    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
758    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
759    o various changes to mnc including:
760      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
761      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
762          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
763      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
764          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
765      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
766    
767    checkpoint57r_post
768    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
769    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
770    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
771    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
772    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
773      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
774    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
775      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
776    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
777    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
778    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
779    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
780    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
781      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
782      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
783      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
784    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
785      (see README file)
786    
787    checkpoint57q_post
788    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
789    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
790      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
791    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
792      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
793    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
794      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
795      to be able to limit tapelev size
796    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
797      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
798      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
799      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
800    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
801      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
802      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
803    
804    checkpoint57p_post
805    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
806    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
807      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
808    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
809    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
810      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
811       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
812      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
813     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
814      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
815      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
816      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
817    
818    checkpoint57o_post
819    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
820      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
821    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
822      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
823    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
824      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
825      (worth another tag)
826    
827    checkpoint57n_post
828    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
829    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
830    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
831    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
832      for atmos. state.
833    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
834    o in natl_box_adjoint:
835      * updated exp 1 to 10
836        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
837    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
838      to incorporate latest changes
839    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
840      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
841    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
842    
843    checkpoint57m_post
844    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
845      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
846    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
847      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
848    
849    checkpoint57l_post
850     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
851    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
852       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
853    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
854       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
855    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
856          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
857    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
858    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
859      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
860    
861    checkpoint57k_post
862    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
863      new EXF diagnostics output.
864    
865    checkpoint57j_post
866    o exf
867      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
868        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
869        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
870      * extended diagnostics output
871        - now includes all EXF variables
872        - hs, hl moved to common block
873        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
874        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
875        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
876      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
877      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
878        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
879    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
880    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
881      several times with different frequencies.
882    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
883      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
884      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
885    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
886      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
887    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
888    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
889    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
890      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
891         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
892    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
893     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
894    
895    checkpoint57i_post
896    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
897      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
898    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
899      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
900    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
901    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
902      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
903    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
904    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
905    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
906      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
907    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
908      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
909    o pkg/diagnostics:
910      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
911      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
912    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
913    
914    checkpoint57h_done
915      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
916      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
917    
918    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
919      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
920    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
921      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
922    
923    checkpoint57h_post
924    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
925    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
926      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
927    checkpoint57h_pre
928    
929    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
930      and mnc_outdir_num are false
931    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
932      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
933    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
934      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
935    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
936    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
937    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
938    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
939      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
940    
941    checkpoint57g_post
942    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
943      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
944      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
945    checkpoint57g_pre
946    
947    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
948      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
949    o added new control variables
950      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
951      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
952    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
953      (suggested by G. Forget)
954    
955    checkpoint57f_post
956    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
957      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
958      account for baseTime shift
959    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
960    checkpoint57f_pre
961    
962    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
963    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
964      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
965    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
966    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
967      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
968      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
969      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
970    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
971      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
972    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
973    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
974      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
975        new version is now more standards-compliant
976    o adjoint-related modifications
977      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
978      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
979      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
980    
981    checkpoint57e_post
982    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
983    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
984    
985    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
986      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
987    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
988    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
989    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
990      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
991      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
992      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
993    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
994      - off by default for backwards compatibility
995      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
996    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
997    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
998    
999    checkpoint57d_post
1000    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
1001    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
1002      output from the diagnostics package
1003    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
1004    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
1005      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
1006    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
1007    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
1008    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
1009      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
1010    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
1011    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
1012    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
1013      at the end).
1014    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
1015      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
1016    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
1017    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
1018      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
1019      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
1020    
1021    checkpoint57c_post
1022    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
1023    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
1024    checkpoint57c_pre
1025    
1026    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
1027      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
1028    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
1029      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
1030    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
1031    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
1032    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
1033    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
1034      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
1035      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
1036      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
1037        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
1038        *all* data points are output
1039    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
1040    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
1041    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
1042    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
1043    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
1044      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
1045      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
1046      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
1047    o pkg/ctrl/
1048      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
1049        May be enabled via doPackDiag
1050      *  introduce z-scaling of
1051         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
1052         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
1053    o pkg/mdsio/
1054      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
1055      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
1056    
1057    checkpoint57b_post
1058    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
1059    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
1060      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
1061      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
1062    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
1063    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
1064      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
1065     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
1066    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
1067      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
1068            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
1069    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
1070      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
1071    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
1072      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
1073        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
1074    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
1075    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
1076    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
1077      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
1078      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
1079    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
1080    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
1081      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
1082      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
1083      - restore use of make (not gmake)
1084      - add CC=gcc if using g77
1085    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
1086      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
1087        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
1088        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
1089        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
1090      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
1091        changed)
1092      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
1093    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
1094      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
1095      preprocessors
1096    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
1097     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
1098     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
1099     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
1100       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
1101       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
1102    
1103    checkpoint57a_post
1104    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
1105      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
1106      (what a pain)
1107    
1108    checkpoint57a_pre
1109    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
1110    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
1111    
1112    checkpoint57
1113    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
1114      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
1115      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
1116      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
1117    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
1118    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
1119    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
1120      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
1121    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
1122      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
1123    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
1124      and include in natl_box_adjoint
1125    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
1126      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
1127    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
1128      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
1129    
1130    checkpoint56c_post
1131    o OBCS as control variables
1132      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
1133      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
1134      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
1135      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
1136      - add dummy weights for obcs
1137    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
1138    o optim:
1139      - remove unnecessary header files
1140      - adjusted namelists
1141      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
1142    o exf:
1143      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
1144      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
1145    o mdsio:
1146      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
1147    
1148    checkpoint56b_post
1149    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
1150      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
1151      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
1152      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
1153      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
1154    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
1155      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
1156      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
1157    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
1158      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
1159      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
1160      testreport.
1161    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
1162    
1163    checkpoint56a_post
1164    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
1165      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
1166        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
1167        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
1168        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
1169      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
1170      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
1171      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
1172        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
1173    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
1174    o PTRACERS:
1175      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
1176        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
1177        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
1178      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
1179        monitorFreq
1180      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
1181    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
1182    o exf_check_range:
1183      * default changed to .TRUE.
1184      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
1185      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
1186      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
1187      TBD: a version with stricter range
1188           permitted range would be runtime parameters
1189  o GMredi:  o GMredi:
1190    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
1191    - 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.

1197      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
1198        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
1199      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
1200        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
1201        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
1202        of ptracers_forcing
1203      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
1204        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
1205      - cleaning up
1206  o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src  o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src
