5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    checkpoint59c
8    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
9    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
10    o pkg/thsice:
11     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
12      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
13    o pkg/obcs:
14     - bug fix for balance code
15    o pkg/seaice:
16      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
17      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
18        to SEAICE_elasticParm
19      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
20      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
21      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
22      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
23    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
24      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
25        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
26        clipping or linear tappering.
27      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
28      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
29        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
30      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
31    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
32    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
33      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
34    o adjoint:
35      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
36      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
37      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
38      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
39    
40    checkpoint59b
41    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
42      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
43    o pkg/seaice:
44      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
45        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
46      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
47      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
48      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
49        better
50    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
51      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
52    o pkg/exf:
53      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
54      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
55      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
56      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
57        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
58    o pkg/seaice:
59      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
60      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
61        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
62    o pkg/exf:
63      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
64      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
65      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
66        to the main code ;
67      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
68        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
69        previous code.
70        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
71      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
72    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
73      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
74        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
75      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
76        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
77      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
78      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
79    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
80      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
81      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
82        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
83        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
84     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
85      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
86        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
87      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
88        by ice & snow emissivity.
89    o pkg/thsice:
90     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
91      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
92      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
93      and in thsice_extend.F:
94      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
95      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
96     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
97      and cpl_aim+ocn
98    o pkg/kpp
99     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
100       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
101     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
102     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
103     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
104       be the best fix)
105    o pkg/seaice
106     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
107     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
108    o OpenAD
109     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
110    
111    checkpoint59a
112    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
113    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
114       himin       -> hIceMin
115       himin0      -> hThinIce
116       hihig       -> hThickIce
117       i0          -> i0swFrac
118       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
119       frac_energy -> fracMelting
120      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
121       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
122      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
123    o in FFIELDS.h:
124      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
125      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
126         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
127    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
128    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
129        3D diffusivity arrays are used.
130    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
131      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
132        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
133      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
134      - the above changes lab_sea results
135      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
136        may follow
137      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
138      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
139        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
140        of choosing it)
141      - add principal stress diagnostics
142      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
143        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
144        not have.
145      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
146        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
147        in all cases)
148    o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
149      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
150    
151    checkpoint59
152    o pkg/exf:
153      - fix wind-stress location: defined on A-grid (if ALLOW_ATM_WIND &
154        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE or USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION), otherwise, defined on C-grid
155      - move exf header files from lower_case.h to UPPER_CASE.h ;
156        add missing cvs Header & Name
157      - add adjoint routines and flow dirs for newly used exch_uv_agrid routines
158      - add namelist param. selectStressGridPosition, exf_monFreq
159      - retire many _CLIM routines, and remove data.exf_clim
160        + params moved to data.exf
161        + climsst, climsss now handled by exf_set_gen, i.e.
162          climss?period=0 refers to constant field,
163          climss?period=-12 to monthly forcing
164      - split up namelists in data.exf
165    o pkg/seaice:
166      - remove seaice_exch and seaice_exch_uv
167      - remove superfluous exchange of theta
168      - add myThid to seaice_budget_ocean/ice
169      - add new interface for atmospheric wind forcing (C-grid only)
170        + new routine
171        + two new field (taux, tauy for stress over ice)
172        + removed one global field (DAIRN) for C-grid case only
173    o pkg/thsise
174      - 2nd set of modifs for thsice adjoint in conjunction with exf
175    o enable runtime flag useEXF (useCAL is set to .T. if useEXF=.T.)
176    
177    checkpoint58y_post
178    o Added capability for latitudinal dependence of Bryan and Lewis, 1979
179      vertical diffusivity, similar to that in MOM4; turned on using
180      #define ALLOW_BL79_LAT_VARY in CPP_OPTIONS.h and specified using
181      diffKrBL79*, diffKrBLEQ*, and BL79LatVary in runtime data file.
182    o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
183      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
184      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
185      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
186    o ice dynamics (pkg/seaice) with thsice thermodynamics:
187      - add code within pkg thsice to advect & diffuse sea-ice fields
188      similar to (and will replace) what has been added in  seaice_advdiff.F,
189      but: - conserving Mass, Heat & Salt.
190           - better when using non-linear advection scheme (not yet fully tested)
191           - can also be used in atmospheric set-up (for now, only the diffusion).
192    
193    checkpoint58x_post
194    o IO option for global-file compact format:
195      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
196      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
197      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
198      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
199    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
200    
201    checkpoint58w_post
202    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
203      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
204      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
205      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
206                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
207    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
208      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
209    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
210     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
211     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
212       mass points to avoid tau = 0
213     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
214    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
215    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
216      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
217    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
218    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
219    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
220      to all packages
221    
222    checkpoint58v_post
223    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
224      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
225    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
226    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
227      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
228    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
229      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
230      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
231    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
232      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
233    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
234     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
235     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
236     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
237       and serious testing.
238     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
239       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
240    
241    checkpoint58u_post
242    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
243    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
244    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
245    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
246      momentum calculation.
247    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
248    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
249      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
250      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
251    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
252      Linear Free surface
253    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
254    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
255    
256    checkpoint58t_post
257    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
258    o pkg/mdsio:
259     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
260       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
261       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
262     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
263     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
264       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
265     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
266       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
267     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
268    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
269       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
270      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
271       diagnostic pointer.
272    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
273    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
274    o fix multi-category seaice:
275     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
276       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
277     - fix short wave heat flux
278    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
279       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
280       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
281    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
282      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
283      * used C-grid and EVP solver
284      * used KPP, GM/Redi
285      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
286      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
287        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
288        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
289        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
290    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
291     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
292     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
293     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
294       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
295     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
296     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
297       as atemp, etc.
298    
299    checkpoint58s_post
300    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
301      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
302        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
303        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
304    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
305      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
306      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
307        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
308        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
309        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
310        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
311        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
312    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
313    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
314      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
315    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
316    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
317    
318    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
319      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
320      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
321      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
322      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
323      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
324      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
325      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
326      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
327      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
328    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
329      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
330      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
331      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
332    
333    checkpoint58r_post
334    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
335      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
336      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
337      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
338    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
339    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
340      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
341    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
342      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
343    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
344      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
345      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
346    o multi-threading and IO:
347      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
348      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
349        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
350    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
351      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
352    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
353      (will certainly be subject to changes)
354    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
355      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
356    
357    checkpoint58q_post
358    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
359      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
360      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
361    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
362      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
363      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
364    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
365      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
366    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
367    
368    checkpoint58p_post
369    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
370    o shelfice:
371     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
372     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
373       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
374       stable
375    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
376    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
377      and updated flow directives
378    
379    checkpoint58o_post
380    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
381      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
382    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
383      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
384    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
385    o simplify EXCH interface:
386     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
387     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
388    o added the regrid package
389    o shelfice:
390     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
391     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
392    
393    checkpoint58n_post
394    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
395       local variable (not in common block).
396    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
397      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
398      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
399        to work with SingleCpuIO.
400    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
401       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
402    o multi-threading and IO:
403      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
404        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
405      - barrier before and after reading.
406      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
407      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
408      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
409        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
410    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
411      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
412    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
413    
414    checkpoint58m_post
415    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
416       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
417    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
418       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
419       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
420    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
421        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
422    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
423    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
424    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
425    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
426      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
427    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
428    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
429      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
430      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
431    o calc_gw:
432     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
433     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
434       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
435    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
436    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
437      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
438      truncation level, 11 digits).
439    
440    checkpoint58l_post
441    o calc_gw:
442     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
443     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
444     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
445    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
446      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
447    o pkg/ecco:
448      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
449        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
450      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
451      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
452        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
453      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
454        including separate counting and multipliers
455    o pkg/rbcs
456      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
457    
458    checkpoint58k_post
459    o testreport:
460     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
461       & running in input)
462     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
463     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
464     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
465    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
466       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
467       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
468       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
469    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
470     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
471       end of the routine.
472    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
473      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
474    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
475    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
476    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
477    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
478      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
479    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
480       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
481    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
482    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
483    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
484       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
485    o tracer advection:
486     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
487     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
488       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
489    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
490    
491    checkpoint58j_post
492    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
493      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
494    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
495    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
496    o genmake2
497      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
498    
499    checkpoint58i_post
500    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
501      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
502    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
503      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
504    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
505      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
506    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
507    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
508    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
509      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
510        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
511      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
512    
513    checkpoint58h_post
514    * Modifications for bottom topography control
515      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
516      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
517      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
518      o update autodiff support routines
519      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
520      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
521    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
522    
523    checkpoint58g_post
524    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
525       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
526       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
527    o pkg/ggl90:
528      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
529      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
530    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
531      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
532      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
533      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
534      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
535        desired results either
536    o pkg/seaice
537      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
538    
539    checkpoint58f_post
540    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
541      to pkg/seaice):
542      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
543      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
544    o pkg/exf:
545      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
546      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
547      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
548      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
549        exf_radiation, exf_wind
550      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
551        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
552      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
553        either wind from stress or stress from wind
554    o pkg/thSIce:
555    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
556    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
557       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
558    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
559    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
560      to make debugging easier.
561    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
562    o pkg/bulk_force:
563      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
564      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
565    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
566      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
567    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
568      testreport accordingly
569    
570    checkpoint58e_post
571    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
572    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
573      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
574      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
575    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
576      to be able to use it in pure forward.
577    
578    checkpoint58d_post
579    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
580     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
581      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
582      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
583      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
584      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
585      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
586      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
587      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
588      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
589      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
590     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
591    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
592    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
593      with larger stencil
594    o thsice adjoint: start
595    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
596      completeness
597    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
598      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
599    o ptracers adjoint:
600      * avoid extensive recomputatations
601      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
602    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
603      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
604    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
605      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
606    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
607      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
608    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
609    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
610      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
611    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
612    o new package prifiles:
613      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
614      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
615    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
616      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
617    
618    checkpoint58c_post
619    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
620      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
621    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
622      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
623      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
624      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
625    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
626      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
627    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
628    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
629      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
630      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
631    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
632      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
633    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
634      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
635    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
636    o seaice:
637      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
638      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
639        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
640      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
641      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
642        C-grid solver
643      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
644      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
645        are now exclusive)
646      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
647        required re-ordering the code a little:
648       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
649       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
650         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
651    
652    checkpoint58b_post
653    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
654      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
655    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
656      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
657      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
658      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
659    o adjoint:
660      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
661      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
662    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
663     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
664      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
665     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
666    o ecco
667      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
668    o adjoint
669      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
670      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
671      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
672        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
673    o seaice:
674     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
675       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
676         and ostres
677       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
678         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
679         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
680     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
681     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
682       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
683       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
684       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
685    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
686      include it only where its needed
687    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
688    o seaice:
689      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
690      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
691      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
692    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
693      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
694    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
695    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
696      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
697    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
698      (since checkpoint57x_post)
699    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
700    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
701      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
702    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
703      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
704      pkg/generic_advdiff
705    o seaice:
706      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
707        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
708        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
709      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
710      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
711      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
712        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
713      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
714      
715    checkpoint58a_post
716    o seaice:
717      - bug fix in advect.F
718    o shelfice:
719      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
720        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
721        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
722        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
723        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
724        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
725        deep-reaching shelfice.
726      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
727      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
728        now the default
729      - give a few constants more intuitive names
730    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
731      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
732      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
733      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
734      STDOUT.
735    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
736    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
737      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
738     - works
739     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
740              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
741                instead of new field kTopC
742              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
743                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
744                and ini_mask_etc.F?
745              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
746    o seaice pkg:
747     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
748       freezing point of sea water at the surface
749     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
750       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
751    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
752       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
753       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
754    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
755       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
756       (might add other options later)
757    o pkg/bulk_force:
758     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
759     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
760       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
761       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
762     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
763     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
764     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
765       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
766     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
767    
768    checkpoint58
769    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
770      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
771      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
772      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
773      - requested by CNH but off by default
774      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
775      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
776    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
777      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
778      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
779      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
780    
781    checkpoint57z_post
782    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
783      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
784    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
785    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
786    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
787      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
788    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
789    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
790         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
791    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
792         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
793      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
794      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
795          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
796          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
797      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
798          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
799          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
800      * 3 cases:
801          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
802          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
803          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
804    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
805      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
806      * enable at compile-time via
807        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
808      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
809      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
810      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
811    
812    checkpoint57y_post
813    First step for a NLFS adjoint
814    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
815    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
816    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
817    o testreport seemed happy
818    checkpoint57y_pre
819    
820    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
821    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
822    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
823    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
824    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
825      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
826    
827    checkpoint57x_post
828    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
829    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
830      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
831      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
832    o Non-Hydrostatic:
833     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
834     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
835    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
836     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
837     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
838       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
839     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
840    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
841    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
842    o adjoint
843      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
844        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
845      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
846    
847    checkpoint57w_post
848    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
849                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
850       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
851    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
852      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
853    o tracer advection scheme:
854      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
855       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
856       was not very convenient).
857      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
858       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
859    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
860      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
861      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
862      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
863    
864    checkpoint57v_post
865    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
866    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
867      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
868      identical results for a few days of testing
869    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
870      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
871      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
872      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
873       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
874    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
875      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
876      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
877    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
878      and for passive tracers
879    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
880      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
881      file).
882    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
883      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
884    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
885      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
886       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
887      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
888    
889    checkpoint57u_post
890    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
891      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
892        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
893        are treated
894      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
895        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
896      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
897        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
898        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
899        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
900        with EXF)
901    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
902    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
903      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
904    
905    checkpoint57t_post
906    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
907    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
908      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
909      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
910    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
911      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
912    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
913      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
914    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
915    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
916    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
917      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
918    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
919      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
920      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
921    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
922      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
923      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
924      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
925      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
926      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
927    
928    checkpoint57s_post
929    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
930      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
931      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
932      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
933      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
934      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
935      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
936      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
937    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
938    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
939      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
940      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
941      they did before.
942    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
943      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
944    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
945    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
946    o various changes to mnc including:
947      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
948      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
949          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
950      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
951          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
952      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
953    
954    checkpoint57r_post
955    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
956    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
957    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
958    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
959    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
960      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
961    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
962      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
963    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
964    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
965    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
966    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
967    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
968      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
969      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
970      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
971    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
972      (see README file)
973    
974    checkpoint57q_post
975    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
976    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
977      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
978    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
979      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
980    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
981      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
982      to be able to limit tapelev size
983    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
984      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
985      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
986      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
987    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
988      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
989      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
990    
991    checkpoint57p_post
992    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
993    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
994      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
995    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
996    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
997      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
998       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
999      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
1000     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
1001      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
1002      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
1003      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
1004    
1005    checkpoint57o_post
1006    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
1007      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
1008    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
1009      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
1010    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
1011      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
1012      (worth another tag)
1013    
1014    checkpoint57n_post
1015    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
1016    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
1017    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
1018    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
1019      for atmos. state.
1020    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
1021    o in natl_box_adjoint:
1022      * updated exp 1 to 10
1023        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
1024    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
1025      to incorporate latest changes
1026    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
1027      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
1028    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
1029    
1030    checkpoint57m_post
1031    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
1032      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
1033    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
1034      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
1035    
1036    checkpoint57l_post
1037     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
1038    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
1039       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
1040    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
1041       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
1042    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
1043          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
1044    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
1045    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
1046      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
1047    
1048    checkpoint57k_post
1049    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
1050      new EXF diagnostics output.
1051    
1052    checkpoint57j_post
1053    o exf
1054      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
1055        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
1056        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
1057      * extended diagnostics output
1058        - now includes all EXF variables
1059        - hs, hl moved to common block
1060        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
1061        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
1062        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
1063      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
1064      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
1065        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
1066    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
1067    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
1068      several times with different frequencies.
1069    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
1070      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
1071      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
1072    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
1073      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
1074    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
1075    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
1076    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
1077      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
1078         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
1079    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
1080     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
1081    
1082    checkpoint57i_post
1083    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
1084      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
1085    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
1086      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
1087    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
1088    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
1089      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
1090    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
1091    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
1092    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
1093      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
1094    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
1095      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
1096    o pkg/diagnostics:
1097      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
1098      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
1099    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
1100    
1101    checkpoint57h_done
1102      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
1103      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
1104    
1105    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
1106      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
1107    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
1108      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
1109    
1110    checkpoint57h_post
1111    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
1112    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
1113      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
1114    checkpoint57h_pre
1115    
1116    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
1117      and mnc_outdir_num are false
1118    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
1119      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
1120    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
1121      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
1122    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
1123    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
1124    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
1125    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
1126      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
1127    
1128    checkpoint57g_post
1129    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
1130      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
1131      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
1132    checkpoint57g_pre
1133    
1134    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
1135      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
1136    o added new control variables
1137      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
1138      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
1139    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
1140      (suggested by G. Forget)
1141    
1142    checkpoint57f_post
1143    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
1144      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
1145      account for baseTime shift
1146    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
1147    checkpoint57f_pre
1148    
1149    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
1150    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
1151      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
1152    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
1153    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
1154      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
1155      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
1156      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
1157    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
1158      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
1159    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
1160    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
1161      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
1162        new version is now more standards-compliant
1163    o adjoint-related modifications
1164      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
1165      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
1166      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
1167    
1168    checkpoint57e_post
1169    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
1170    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
1171    
1172    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
1173      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
1174    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
1175    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
1176    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
1177      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
1178      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
1179      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
1180    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
1181      - off by default for backwards compatibility
1182      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
1183    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
1184    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
1185    
1186    checkpoint57d_post
1187    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
1188    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
1189      output from the diagnostics package
1190    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
1191    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
1192      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
1193    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
1194    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
1195    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
1196      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
1197    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
1198    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
1199    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
1200      at the end).
1201    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
1202      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
1203    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
1204    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
1205      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
1206      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
1207    
1208    checkpoint57c_post
1209    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
1210    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
1211    checkpoint57c_pre
1212    
1213    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
1214      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
1215    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
1216      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
1217    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
1218    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
1219    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
1220    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
1221      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
1222      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
1223      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
1224        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
1225        *all* data points are output
1226    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
1227    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
1228    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
1229    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
1230    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
1231      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
1232      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
1233      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
1234    o pkg/ctrl/
1235      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
1236        May be enabled via doPackDiag
1237      *  introduce z-scaling of
1238         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
1239         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
1240    o pkg/mdsio/
1241      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
1242      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
1243    
1244    checkpoint57b_post
1245    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
1246    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
1247      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
1248      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
1249    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
1250    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
1251      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
1252     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
1253    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
1254      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
1255            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
1256    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
1257      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
1258    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
1259      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
1260        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
1261    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
1262    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
1263    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
1264      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
1265      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
1266    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
1267    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
1268      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
1269      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
1270      - restore use of make (not gmake)
1271      - add CC=gcc if using g77
1272    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
1273      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
1274        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
1275        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
1276        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
1277      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
1278        changed)
1279      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
1280    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
1281      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
1282      preprocessors
1283    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
1284     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
1285     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
1286     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
1287       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
1288       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
1289    
1290    checkpoint57a_post
1291    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
1292      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
1293      (what a pain)
1294    
1295    checkpoint57a_pre
1296    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
1297    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
1298    
1299    checkpoint57
1300    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
1301      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
1302      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
1303      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
1304    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
1305    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
1306    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
1307      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
1308    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
1309      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
1310    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
1311      and include in natl_box_adjoint
1312    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
1313      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
1314    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
1315      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
1316    
1317    checkpoint56c_post
1318    o OBCS as control variables
1319      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
1320      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
1321      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
1322      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
1323      - add dummy weights for obcs
1324    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
1325    o optim:
1326      - remove unnecessary header files
1327      - adjusted namelists
1328      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
1329    o exf:
1330      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
1331      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
1332    o mdsio:
1333      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
1334    
1335    checkpoint56b_post
1336    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
1337      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
1338      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
1339      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
1340      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
1341    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
1342      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
1343      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
1344    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
1345      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
1346      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
1347      testreport.
1348    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
1349    
1350    checkpoint56a_post
1351    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
1352      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
1353        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
1354        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
1355        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
1356      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
1357      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
1358      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
1359        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
1360    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
1361    o PTRACERS:
1362      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
1363        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
1364        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
1365      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
1366        monitorFreq
1367      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
1368    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
1369    o exf_check_range:
1370      * default changed to .TRUE.
1371      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
1372      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
1373      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
1374      TBD: a version with stricter range
1375           permitted range would be runtime parameters
1376  o GMredi:  o GMredi:
1377    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
1378    - 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.
# Line 11  o GCHEM: Line 1381  o GCHEM:
1381    - move call to GCHEM_FORCING_SEP, so that it is now called before    - move call to GCHEM_FORCING_SEP, so that it is now called before

1383    - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.    - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
1384      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
1385        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
1386      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
1387        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
1388        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
1389        of ptracers_forcing
1390      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
1391        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
1392      - cleaning up
1393  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
