4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/exf: added CPP option EXF_SUBTRACT_UVVEL_FROM_UVWIND for subtracting
8      UVEL and VVEL from UWIND and VWIND prior to applying bulk formulae.
9    
10    checkpoint59k
11    o pkg/seaice: ICE2WATR=SEAICE_rhoIce/rhoConst for consistency between
12      dynamics and thermodynamics. Set ICE2WATR=0.92 to reproduce older results.
13    o fix un-initialised variable problem (in mom_vecinv & shap_filt):
14      all experiments pass when compile with un-initilised var. checking option.
15    o added pkg/salt_plume
16    o script to test restart (for now, in MITgcm_contrib/jmc_script)
17    o pkg/seaice: new read/write pickup version.
18      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
19      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
20    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in seaice_ocean_stress (call of seaice_calc_strainrates)
21    o lab_sea.hb87: modify the domain & update output.hb87.txt :
22      lat-long grid & no-slip BC in seaice-dynamics produce different sigma12
23      at j=1 & j=Ny+1 : this case is not treated correctly in the restart
24      process. Fixed here by closing the domain at the Northern boundary.
25    o pkg/rw: cleaning-up: call directly new MDSIO S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD.
26    o pkg/mdsio: add new arguments to MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD for reading/writing
27      a set of consecutive levels in/from a 3-D array.
28    o pkg/ptracers:
29      use a 2 characters string ioLabel to identify tracer (if more than 99 tracers).
30      to-do: fix pkg/diagnostics when large number of diagnostics are defined.
31    
32    checkpoint59j
33    o in pkgs: dic, obcs, offline, rbcs:
34      standard way to compute coeff. for time interpolation between 2 time reccords
35      which retains full precision (& make results less dependent on compiler).
36      update output of exp: tutorial_cfc_offline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
37    o pkg/cfc: if compiled with exf and seaice, cfc now can use fields from those
38      packages instead of reading ice cover and wind speed separately
39    o split PTRACERS.h in 2 header files: PTRACERS_FIELDS.h & PTRACERS_PARAMS.h
40     (keep a temporary version of PTRACERS.h in verification/OpenAD/code_ad_openad
41      to allow to compile customized code before the update)
42    o cleaning-up:
43      - fix CPP instruction syntax in pkg/obcs
44      - replace (some) call to MDSIO S/R with call to RW interface S/R ; and
45        add #ifdef ALLOW_MDSIO elsewhere (allows to compile without pkg/mdsio)
46      - fix some threads issue in IO parts.
47    o pkg/dic:
48      - add tons of "_d 0" (--> much better testreports !)
49       and then update outputs of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
50    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
51      add a special version of momentum advection intended to conserve momentum
52      next to a bathymetry step or a coastline edge. (default = off = #undef)
53    o new read/write pickup version:
54      - for now, only implemented for main (mdsio) pickup file.
55      - write out only what is needed to restart; merge pickup_nh , pickup_ph
56        and main pickup together.
57      - read meta file; read only what is needed to restart; stop if a field
58        is missing (if pickupStrictlyMatch=T, = the default) or try to restart
59        if it make sense (even if the restart is not perfect).
60      - if no meta file, assume that pickup to read corresponds exactly to
61        a pickup that would currently be written.
62      - read pickup written in the old format (until checkpoint59i) if it
63        recognizes an old meta file (no field-list).
64      - add a meta file in exp. which starts from a pickup: 2 cases:
65        a) minimal meta file (with just file precision) + pickupStrictlyMatch=F
66         e.g.: global_ocean.90x40x15/input/pickup.0000036000.meta
67        b) a meta file describing the content of the associated pickup file
68         e.g.: tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/input/pickup.0004248000.meta
69    o pkg/mdsio & pkg/rw:
70      - new routine to read a meta file ; new set of routine to read
71        Multiple-fields file (with meta file).
72    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice
73        HSNOW, HSALT, UICE, and VICE
74    
75    checkpoint59i
76    o adjoint:
77      * fix multiDimAdvection adjoint
78        (partial recomputation problem by TAF for fVerT(:,:,kDown)
79        and comlev1 size definition (maxpass vs. max. number of tracers)
80      * verification/global_ocean.90x45x15 adjoint now tests
81        NLFS and multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
82      * verification/lab_sea now tests multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
83    o pkg/kpp: add "_d 0" to real constant (if missing);
84      update output of exp: natl_box (10.digits); vermix (std, 7.digits)
85      and lab_sea, 3.FW (only 6,4,6 digits match) & AD (8.digits).
86    o prepare for "clever pickup" implementation: add new header file "RESTART.h"
87      for internal parameters related to restart process (formerly from PARAMS.h)
88      and add startAB parameter to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
89    o more standard interface to {PKG}_WRITE_PICKUP with pickup suffix passed
90      as argument. (only atm2d & obcs write_pickup have not yet been updated)
91    o pkg/monitor:
92      - use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE instead of _GLOBAL_SUM
93      - fix mon_stats_rs (statistics over the full domain, even where field is zero)
94      - account for deep Atmosphere factor and density factor (anelastic)
95    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice HEFF and AREA
96    o pkg/shelfice: add option for convservative form of Hellmer&Olbers (1989)
97      thermodynamics
98      - requires a little reorganization, which affects the testreport results
99        of isomip.htd (only 7 digits of cg2d agree) => update/modify experiment,
100        so that now the conservative form is tested
101      - add a few comments
102    o add missing cvs Header: or Name: in eesupp/*, pkg/* & verification/code*
103    o add a little bit of code to gad_os7mp_adv_?.F to help vectorization
104    o add new diagnostics to seaice: advective, diffusive fluxes (only for
105      multidim-advection, for scheme 2 they are not filled) and transports,
106      thermodynamic growth rates
107    o change units of EmPmR (inside the code, + within coupling interface)
108      from m/s to kg/m2/s (mass flux) but leave input file unchanged.
109      Affects results @ truncation level (cg2d match) and update output of
110       experiments: lab_sea(6), global_ocean.90x40x15(10),
111      global_ocean.cs32x15(11x3,10), natl_box(11), tutorial_global_oce_latlon(11)
112      + adjoint results: global_ocean_ebm(11) and lab_sea (12).
113      Coupled set-up: allow to restart from previous pickups (cpl_oldPickup=T).
114      Next: will retire convertEmP2rUnit (simply using mass2rUnit instead).
115    
116    checkpoint59h
117    o pkg/exf:
118      - improve vectorization by moving if-statement out of loops in
119        exf_mapfields, exf_radiation
120      - exf_bulkformulae.F: introduce 2D fields and vectorize code
121    o pkg/kpp: added the salt plume scheme (ALLOW_SALT_PLUME) to KPP package
122    o testreport:
123      - allow to test for Qnet & SeaIce monitor output; clean-up ALLOW_BULK_OFFLINE
124        monitor & update offline_exf_seaice exp. output.
125      - AD testing: pass/FAIL according to Grad. output accuracy (instead of Cost)
126    o pkg/seaice:
127      - bug fix in the evp solver: boundary conditions were affected be
128        masking of zMax/zMin (changes results)
129      - minor bug fix in boundary conditions in seaice_calc_strainrates
130        (changes results for no_slip)
131      - seaice_lsr.F: make interpolation of eta dependent on boundaries
132      - replace hardcoded lower limit for zeta (zMin) by runtime parameter
133      - add a test to lab_sea, that tests the Hibler and Bryan (1987) ocean
134        stress formulation and no-slip boundary conditions
135    o pkg/ptracers: Temporary fix for PTRACERS_useGMRedi & PTRACERS_useKPP
136      in gad_calc_rhs.F ; add few safety stops in initialisation phase.
137    o pkg/seaice: a first HSALT time stepping equation has been checked in
138    o pkg/seaice: replaced maskW with seaiceMaskU and maskS with seaiceMaskV
139      in seaice_lsr.F; this solves the pkg/seaice-pkg/obcs problem
140      without requiring DO-IF statements
141    o pkg/thsice:
142      use continuous power-law function for partition of energy between lateral
143      melting/freezing and thinning/thickening ; old code using step function
144      still available with #undef THSICE_FRACEN_POWERLAW
145      update output of exp: aim.5l_cs.thSI, global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn & .thsice
146    o testreport: change AD testing : check against results/output_adm.txt
147      using same scripts as for forward test.
148    
149    checkpoint59g
150    o adjoint testing: in preparation for changing testreport:
151      - output format: cost and grad written on separated lines
152      - ad output results in directory "results" (instead of "results_ad")
153    o pkg/seaice: adding ice salinity HSALT as a prognostic variable
154    o pkg/seaice: changes for using pkg/seaice with pkg/obcs
155    o pkg/ecco: allow user defined cost function contributions
156    o testreport:
157      Allow to choose (per experiment) the list of tested output variables
158       and the main variable (used to issue a pass/FAIL ) ;
159      - for now, done by adding the specific list in file: [exp]/input/tr_checklist
160      - default is unchanged: >cg2d< , (T,S,U,V,5 tracers)_[min,max,mean,StD] ;
161      Also modify printing of summary:
162       a) ">" NN "<" indicates the "main" variable (used for pass/FAIL)
163       b) echo the list of tested variables in the individual summary.txt of
164          each experiment.
165    o new S/R GLOBAL_SUM_TILE to compute global sum independently of number of
166      threads and number of processes (with #define GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV)
167      (but still depend on the tile decompostion of the domain).
168    o pkg/seaice: change a discretization detail to make the B-grid code
169      "more symmetric". This change is likely to remove all "ridges/leads" that
170      where quasi-aligned with the grid in B-grid solutions. It may also be
171      the solution to the stress coupling issues with the B-grid.
172    o each tested exp: add a "run" directory with a standard ".cvsignore" file ;
173      remove .cvsignore from input dir. (since testreport no longer run here).
174    o pkg/thsice:
175     - cleaning: move common block out of "THSICE_2DYN.h" (removed) to "THSICE_VARS.h"
176     - fix reshaping of sea-ice just after advection:
177       melt all the ice only if ice-volume is too small.
178     - re-visit lateral/thinning repartition of melting (modifs from May 04, 2007):
179       prevent lateral melting if sea-ice fraction is too close to iceMaskMin ;
180     and update experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (+start from pickup files).
181    o external_forcing_surf : extend the use of salt_EvPrRn & temp_EvPrRn (fresh-water
182      tracer content) to linFS or no RealFreshWaterFlux ; default remains unchanged.
183    o define mass2rUnit & rUnit2mass as units conversion factor, used for surface
184      forcing. mass2rUnit: from mass per unit area [kg/m2] to r-coordinate unit
185      (z-coord: =1/rhoConst ; p-coord: =gravity) ; rUnit2mass is just the reverse;
186      and remove horiVertRatio (& recip_horiVertRatio). Affects truncation error
187      of exp. global_oce_in_p: 10 16 16 14 16 13 16 16 16 13 13 13 16 13 13 12 16
188      -> update output.txt
189    o pkg/cd_code: add brackets in multiple terms sum (S/R CD_CODE_SCHEME):
190     this affects truncation error: -> update output.txt of exp:
191      global_ocean.90x40x15 (fw&adm), lab_sea (fw&adm) & lab_sea.lsr,
192      ideal_2D_oce, isomip.htd, natl_box, tutorial_global_oce_latlon.
193    
194    checkpoint59f
195    o pkg/autodiff: zero_adj resets an ajoint variable to zero (in adjoint mode)
196    o pkg/ctrl: ctrl_bound  forces parameter corrections to stay in
197      a bounded range (in forward mode)
198    o pkg/ecco, ctrl, autodiff and mom_common:
199     internal parameter controls, completements of implementations
200    o add few EXCH S/R (UV_BGRID, UV_DGRID, SM) for B & D-Grid velocity & 2nd Moment Sxy.
201    o use UV_BGRID exch for dxV,dyU: for now, only with pkg/exch2 & forward ;
202      (not seem any difference in testing results).
203    o pkg/cd_code: use the right EXCH calls (for CS-grid); but problem remains
204       at face corners.
205    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
206     - in GAD.h, define as parameters (iMinAdvR,iMaxAdvR,jMinAdvR,jMaxAdvR)
207      loop range indices for computing vertical advection tendency
208      and do the calculation in the interior only (no overlap) ;
209      for now, only implemented for SOM advection (to save CPU time).
210     - add argument "withSigns" to S/R FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL (needed for SOM_xy moment)
211    o exch2 adjoint
212      First set of changes:
213      - add exch2 hand-written adjoint templates
214      - exch2 hand-written no longer use TAF-flag 'nownew_arg'
215        This will require cleanup in pkg/autodiff/*.F
216        (changed routines currently kept separate in verif. code/)
217      - Comment all relevant #ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
218        that used to hide exch2 or cubed-sphere specific code
219        (commented via 'cph-exch2')
220    o pkg/seaice
221      - Close southern and western boundaries for UICE/VICE when useOBCS=.TRUE.
222    o pkg/bulk_force: fix loading into Qsw of Short-Wave flux; and update
223       output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice .
224    
225    checkpoint59e
226    o exch2: new S/R that only use the cube-tracer (center-position) exchange:
227      for B-grid vector (not yet tested) and C-grid vector (<- only used
228      when option W2_USE_R1_ONLY in W2_OPTIONS.h is defined).
229    o starting implementation of Duffy et al. (GRL 1999) salt plume scheme
230      (#ifdef ALLOW_SALT_PLUME)
231    o gather_2d/scatter_2d: removed halo regions
232    o gmredi: add option (GM_taper_scheme='fm07') for Ferrari & McWilliams 2007
233      scheme and the corresponding test case (under front_relax dir). For now,
234      only available with Skew-flux form and not yet tested in realistic set-up.
235      adjoint: store directives updated, but gradient checks deteriorated,
236      so maybe GM/Redi adjoint is now broken.
237    o seaice adjoint
238      * add AREA, HEFF, HSNOW as control variable
239        (should not change lab_sea results)
240      * CTRL_OPTIONS.h needs new flag: CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_40
241    o pkg/seaice:
242      * added computation of saltFlux in seaice_growth;
243        For time being, sea ice salinity is assumed constant
244        contribution of snow flooding to freshening of sea ice is neglected.
245        SEAICE_salinity is set in SEAICE_PARM01 of data.seaice and it
246        defaults to 0.0 in order to maintain backward compatibility.
247        Typical values for SEAICE_salinity are 4 to 10 g/kg.
248      * replaced dRf(1) with dRf(kSurface)*hFacC(kSurface) in seaice_growth.F
249      * added SEAICE_availHeatFrac, which specifies fraction of surface level
250        heat content used to melt or grow ice
251      * commented out cap of HICE: it helps keep ice thinner
252      * reintroduced cap of HEFF via MAX_HEFF and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF option
253      * applied OBCS T/S mask to HEFFM sea ice mask
254    
255    checkpoint59d
256    o standard name: {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_STATE to fill diagnostics array
257     for {PKG} state variables, and called from DO_STATEVARS_DIAGS.
258     (keep {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_FILL for non-state variables diagnostics)
259    o pkg/gmredi (gmredi_readparms.F): add some missing "_d 0"
260     and change default value of parameter "GM_Small_Number";
261     update output of exp: lab_sea (x2), cfc_example, global_ocean.90x40x15,
262       global_ocean.cs32x15 (x4), global_ocean_ebm, global_with_exf,  
263       tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_global_oce_latlon
264    o pkg/ecco: cost function when applying pkg/smooth to controls
265    o pkg/ctrl: add forcingPrecond run time parameter
266    o pkg/seaice:
267     - replace ZMIN=4.e8 with ZMIN=0. in dynsolver.F as in C-grid code
268     - fix bug in metric terms of u-equation in LSR solver (implicit part),
269       changes verification/lab_sea
270     - rearrange implicit part of u-equation in LSR solver to make it easier to
271       read, understand, and debug. This causes changes at the truncation level.
272     - fix (serious) bug in the boundary conditions (sign error in the implicit
273       part) of the LSR solver. Changes all LSR results.
274     - fixed problem with HSNOW initialization to avoid thick snow when AREA
275       is initilized with small values - does not change lab_sea results.
276     - added HsnowFile initialization capability
277    o pkg/smooth: addition to model/src and pkg/ctrl so allow
278     initialization of pkg/smooth and application to control vector
279    o pkg/seaice: fix another bug in the LSR no-slip boundary conditons
280    o dependencies: pkg/profiles requires pkg/cal
281    o pkg/profiles:
282     - added option ALLOW_PROFILES_GENERICGRID
283         -> pkg/profiles can thus be used with any grid (e.g. cs32x15) assuming
284         that interpolation information (grid points and coefficients) is provided
285         within the netcdf input files.
286         -> sample matlab scripts can be found in MITgcm_contrib/gael
287         that allow you to prepare netcdf input files.
288     - also modified: cleaner include statements, cleaner error print statements,
289       cleaner stops when error, and more tests of the netcdf input files consistency.
290    o additional test (in global_ocean.cs32x15) using seaice+thsice pkgs.
291    o pkg/seaice:
292     - move seaice-diagnostics from seaice_do_diags to do_statevars_diags; this
293       requires a new routine: seaice_diagnostics_fill.F
294     - make sure that seaice does not move if not forced (pressure replacement
295       method, Hibler and Ip, 1995), changes results
296     - and new damping criterion for EVP solver according to Hunke, JCP, 2001
297     - SEAICE_evpDampC = > 0. turns it on (615. is the recommended value).
298       It is turned off by default (=-1.), because it changes the results.
299     - make it possible to read AREA from a file, too.
300    
301    checkpoint59c
302    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
303    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
304    o pkg/thsice:
305     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
306      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
307    o pkg/obcs:
308     - bug fix for balance code
309    o pkg/seaice:
310      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
311      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
312        to SEAICE_elasticParm
313      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
314      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
315      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
316      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
317    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
318      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
319        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
320        clipping or linear tappering.
321      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
322      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
323        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
324      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
325    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
326    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
327      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
328    o adjoint:
329      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
330      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
331      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
332      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
333    
334    checkpoint59b
335    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
336      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
337    o pkg/seaice:
338      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
339        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
340      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
341      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
342      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
343        better
344    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
345      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
346    o pkg/exf:
347      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
348      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
349      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
350      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
351        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
352    o pkg/seaice:
353      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
354      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
355        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
356    o pkg/exf:
357      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
358      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
359      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
360        to the main code ;
361      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
362        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
363        previous code.
364        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
365      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
366    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
367      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
368        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
369      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
370        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
371      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
372      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
373    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
374      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
375      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
376        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
377        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
378     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
379      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
380        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
381      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
382        by ice & snow emissivity.
383    o pkg/thsice:
384     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
385      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
386      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
387      and in thsice_extend.F:
388      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
389      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
390     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
391      and cpl_aim+ocn
392    o pkg/kpp
393     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
394       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
395     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
396     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
397     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
398       be the best fix)
399    o pkg/seaice
400     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
401     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
402    o OpenAD
403     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
404    
405    checkpoint59a
406    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
407    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
408       himin       -> hIceMin
409       himin0      -> hThinIce
410       hihig       -> hThickIce
411       i0          -> i0swFrac
412       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
413       frac_energy -> fracMelting
414      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
415       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
416      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
417    o in FFIELDS.h:
418      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
419      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
420         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
421    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
422    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
423        3D diffusivity arrays are used; pkg/kpp/kpp_calc_diff_s & _t.F
424        are no longer updating the vertical diffusivity array
425        (passed as argument) but are (re-) setting those arrays.
426    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
427      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
428        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
429      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
430      - the above changes lab_sea results
431      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
432        may follow
433      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
434      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
435        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
436        of choosing it)
437      - add principal stress diagnostics
438      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
439        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
440        not have.
441      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
442        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
443        in all cases)
444    o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
445      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
446    
447    checkpoint59
448    o pkg/exf:
449      - fix wind-stress location: defined on A-grid (if ALLOW_ATM_WIND &
450        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE or USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION), otherwise, defined on C-grid
451      - move exf header files from lower_case.h to UPPER_CASE.h ;
452        add missing cvs Header & Name
453      - add adjoint routines and flow dirs for newly used exch_uv_agrid routines
454      - add namelist param. selectStressGridPosition, exf_monFreq
455      - retire many _CLIM routines, and remove data.exf_clim
456        + params moved to data.exf
457        + climsst, climsss now handled by exf_set_gen, i.e.
458          climss?period=0 refers to constant field,
459          climss?period=-12 to monthly forcing
460      - split up namelists in data.exf
461    o pkg/seaice:
462      - remove seaice_exch and seaice_exch_uv
463      - remove superfluous exchange of theta
464      - add myThid to seaice_budget_ocean/ice
465      - add new interface for atmospheric wind forcing (C-grid only)
466        + new routine
467        + two new field (taux, tauy for stress over ice)
468        + removed one global field (DAIRN) for C-grid case only
469    o pkg/thsise
470      - 2nd set of modifs for thsice adjoint in conjunction with exf
471    o enable runtime flag useEXF (useCAL is set to .T. if useEXF=.T.)
472    
473    checkpoint58y_post
474    o Added capability for latitudinal dependence of Bryan and Lewis, 1979
475      vertical diffusivity, similar to that in MOM4; turned on using
476      #define ALLOW_BL79_LAT_VARY in CPP_OPTIONS.h and specified using
477      diffKrBL79*, diffKrBLEQ*, and BL79LatVary in runtime data file.
478    o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
479      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
480      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
481      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
482    o ice dynamics (pkg/seaice) with thsice thermodynamics:
483      - add code within pkg thsice to advect & diffuse sea-ice fields
484      similar to (and will replace) what has been added in  seaice_advdiff.F,
485      but: - conserving Mass, Heat & Salt.
486           - better when using non-linear advection scheme (not yet fully tested)
487           - can also be used in atmospheric set-up (for now, only the diffusion).
488    
489    checkpoint58x_post
490    o IO option for global-file compact format:
491      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
492      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
493      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
494      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
495    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
496    
497    checkpoint58w_post
498    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
499      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
500      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
501      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
502                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
503    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
504      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
505    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
506     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
507     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
508       mass points to avoid tau = 0
509     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
510    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
511    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
512      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
513    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
514    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
515    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
516      to all packages
517    
518    checkpoint58v_post
519    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
520      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
521    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
522    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
523      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
524    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
525      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
526      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
527    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
528      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
529    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
530     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
531     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
532     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
533       and serious testing.
534     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
535       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
536    
537    checkpoint58u_post
538    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
539    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
540    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
541    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
542      momentum calculation.
543    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
544    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
545      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
546      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
547    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
548      Linear Free surface
549    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
550    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
551    
552    checkpoint58t_post
553    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
554    o pkg/mdsio:
555     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
556       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
557       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
558     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
559     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
560       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
561     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
562       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
563     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
564    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
565       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
566      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
567       diagnostic pointer.
568    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
569    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
570    o fix multi-category seaice:
571     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
572       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
573     - fix short wave heat flux
574    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
575       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
576       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
577    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
578      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
579      * used C-grid and EVP solver
580      * used KPP, GM/Redi
581      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
582      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
583        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
584        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
585        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
586    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
587     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
588     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
589     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
590       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
591     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
592     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
593       as atemp, etc.
594    
595    checkpoint58s_post
596    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
597      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
598        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
599        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
600    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
601      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
602      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
603        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
604        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
605        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
606        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
607        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
608    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
609    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
610      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
611    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
612    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
613    
614    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
615      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
616      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
617      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
618      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
619      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
620      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
621      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
622      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
623      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
624    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
625      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
626      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
627      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
628    
629    checkpoint58r_post
630    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
631      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
632      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
633      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
634    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
635    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
636      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
637    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
638      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
639    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
640      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
641      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
642    o multi-threading and IO:
643      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
644      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
645        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
646    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
647      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
648    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
649      (will certainly be subject to changes)
650    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
651      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
652    
653    checkpoint58q_post
654    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
655      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
656      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
657    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
658      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
659      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
660    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
661      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
662    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
663    
664    checkpoint58p_post
665    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
666    o shelfice:
667     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
668     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
669       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
670       stable
671    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
672    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
673      and updated flow directives
674    
675    checkpoint58o_post
676    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
677      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
678    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
679      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
680    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
681    o simplify EXCH interface:
682     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
683     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
684    o added the regrid package
685    o shelfice:
686     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
687     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
688    
689    checkpoint58n_post
690    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
691       local variable (not in common block).
692    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
693      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
694      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
695        to work with SingleCpuIO.
696    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
697       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
698    o multi-threading and IO:
699      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
700        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
701      - barrier before and after reading.
702      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
703      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
704      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
705        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
706    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
707      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
708    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
709    
710    checkpoint58m_post
711    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
712       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
713    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
714       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
715       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
716    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
717        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)

719    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
720    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
721    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
722      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
723    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
724    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
725      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
726      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
727    o calc_gw:
728     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
729     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
730       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
731    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
732    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
733      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
734      truncation level, 11 digits).
735    
736    checkpoint58l_post
737    o calc_gw:
738     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V

740     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
741    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
742      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
743    o pkg/ecco:
744      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
745        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
746      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
747      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
748        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
749      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
750        including separate counting and multipliers
751    o pkg/rbcs
752      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
753    
754    checkpoint58k_post
755    o testreport:
756     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
757       & running in input)
758     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
759     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
760     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
761    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
762       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
763       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
764       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
765    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
766     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
767       end of the routine.
768    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
769      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
770    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
771    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
772    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
773    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
774      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
775    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
776       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
777    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
778    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
779    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
780       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
781    o tracer advection:
782     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
783     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
784       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
785    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
786    
787    checkpoint58j_post
788    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
789      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
790    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
791    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
792    o genmake2
793      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
794    
795    checkpoint58i_post
796    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
797      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
798    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
799      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
800    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
801      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
802    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
803    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
804    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
805      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
806        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
807      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
808    
809    checkpoint58h_post
810    * Modifications for bottom topography control
811      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
812      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
813      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
814      o update autodiff support routines
815      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
816      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
817    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
818    
819    checkpoint58g_post
820    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
821       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
822       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
823    o pkg/ggl90:
824      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
825      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
826    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
827      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
828      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
829      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
830      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
831        desired results either
832    o pkg/seaice
833      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
834    
835    checkpoint58f_post
836    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
837      to pkg/seaice):
838      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
839      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
840    o pkg/exf:
841      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
842      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
843      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
844      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
845        exf_radiation, exf_wind
846      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
847        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
848      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
849        either wind from stress or stress from wind
850    o pkg/thSIce:
851    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
852    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
853       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
854    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
855    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
856      to make debugging easier.
857    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
858    o pkg/bulk_force:
859      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
860      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
861    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
862      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
863    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
864      testreport accordingly
865    
866    checkpoint58e_post
867    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
868    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
869      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
870      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
871    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
872      to be able to use it in pure forward.
873    
874    checkpoint58d_post
875    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
876     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
877      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
878      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
879      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
880      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
881      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
882      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
883      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
884      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
885      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
886     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
887    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
888    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
889      with larger stencil
890    o thsice adjoint: start
891    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
892      completeness
893    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
894      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
895    o ptracers adjoint:
896      * avoid extensive recomputatations
897      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
898    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
899      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
900    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
901      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
902    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
903      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
904    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
905    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
906      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
907    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
908    o new package prifiles:
909      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
910      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
911    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
912      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
913    
914    checkpoint58c_post
915    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
916      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
917    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
918      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
919      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
920      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
921    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
922      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
923    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
924    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
925      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
926      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
927    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
928      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
929    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
930      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
931    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
932    o seaice:
933      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
934      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
935        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
936      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
937      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
938        C-grid solver
939      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
940      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
941        are now exclusive)
942      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
943        required re-ordering the code a little:
944       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
945       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
946         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
947    
948    checkpoint58b_post
949    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
950      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
951    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
952      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
953      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
954      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
955    o adjoint:
956      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
957      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
958    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
959     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
960      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
961     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
962    o ecco
963      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
964    o adjoint
965      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
966      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
967      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
968        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
969    o seaice:
970     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
971       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
972         and ostres
973       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
974         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
975         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
976     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
977     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
978       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
979       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
980       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
981    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
982      include it only where its needed
983    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
984    o seaice:
985      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
986      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
987      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
988    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
989      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
990    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
991    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
992      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
993    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
994      (since checkpoint57x_post)
995    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
996    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
997      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
998    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
999      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
1000      pkg/generic_advdiff
1001    o seaice:
1002      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
1003        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
1004        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
1005      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
1006      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
1007      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
1008        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
1009      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
1010      
1011    checkpoint58a_post
1012    o seaice:
1013      - bug fix in advect.F
1014    o shelfice:
1015      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
1016        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
1017        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
1018        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
1019        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
1020        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
1021        deep-reaching shelfice.
1022      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
1023      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
1024        now the default
1025      - give a few constants more intuitive names
1026    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
1027      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
1028      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
1029      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
1030      STDOUT.
1031    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
1032    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
1033      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
1034     - works
1035     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
1036              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
1037                instead of new field kTopC
1038              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
1039                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
1040                and ini_mask_etc.F?
1041              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
1042    o seaice pkg:
1043     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
1044       freezing point of sea water at the surface
1045     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
1046       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
1047    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
1048       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
1049       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
1050    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
1051       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
1052       (might add other options later)
1053    o pkg/bulk_force:
1054     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
1055     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
1056       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
1057       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
1058     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
1059     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
1060     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
1061       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
1062     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
1063    
1064    checkpoint58
1065    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
1066      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
1067      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
1068      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
1069      - requested by CNH but off by default
1070      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
1071      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
1072    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
1073      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
1074      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
1075      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
1076    
1077    checkpoint57z_post
1078    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
1079      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
1080    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
1081    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
1082    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
1083      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
1084    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
1085    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
1086         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
1087    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
1088         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
1089      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
1090      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
1091          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
1092          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
1093      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
1094          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
1095          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
1096      * 3 cases:
1097          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
1098          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
1099          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
1100    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
1101      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
1102      * enable at compile-time via
1103        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
1104      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
1105      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
1106      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
1107    
1108    checkpoint57y_post
1109    First step for a NLFS adjoint
1110    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
1111    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
1112    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
1113    o testreport seemed happy
1114    checkpoint57y_pre
1115    
1116    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
1117    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
1118    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
1119    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
1120    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
1121      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
1122    
1123    checkpoint57x_post
1124    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
1125    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
1126      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
1127      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
1128    o Non-Hydrostatic:
1129     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
1130     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
1131    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
1132     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
1133     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
1134       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
1135     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
1136    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
1137    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
1138    o adjoint
1139      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
1140        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
1141      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
1142    
1143    checkpoint57w_post
1144    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
1145                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
1146       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
1147    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
1148      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
1149    o tracer advection scheme:
1150      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
1151       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
1152       was not very convenient).
1153      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
1154       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
1155    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
1156      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
1157      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
1158      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
1159    
1160    checkpoint57v_post
1161    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
1162    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
1163      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
1164      identical results for a few days of testing
1165    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
1166      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
1167      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
1168      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
1169       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
1170    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
1171      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
1172      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
1173    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
1174      and for passive tracers
1175    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
1176      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
1177      file).
1178    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
1179      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
1180    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
1181      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
1182       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
1183      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
1184    
1185    checkpoint57u_post
1186    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
1187      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
1188        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
1189        are treated
1190      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
1191        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
1192      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
1193        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
1194        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
1195        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
1196        with EXF)
1197    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
1198    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
1199      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
1200    
1201    checkpoint57t_post
1202    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
1203    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
1204      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
1205      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
1206    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
1207      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
1208    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
1209      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
1210    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
1211    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
1212    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
1213      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
1214    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
1215      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
1216      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
1217    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
1218      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
1219      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
1220      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
1221      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
1222      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
1223    
1224    checkpoint57s_post
1225    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
1226      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
1227      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
1228      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
1229      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
1230      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
1231      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
1232      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
1233    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
1234    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
1235      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
1236      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
1237      they did before.
1238    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
1239      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
1240    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
1241    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
1242    o various changes to mnc including:
1243      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
1244      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
1245          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
1246      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
1247          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
1248      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
1249    
1250    checkpoint57r_post
1251    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
1252    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
1253    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
1254    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
1255    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
1256      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
1257    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
1258      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
1259    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
1260    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
1261    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
1262    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
1263    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
1264      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
1265      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
1266      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
1267    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
1268      (see README file)
1269    
1270    checkpoint57q_post
1271    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
1272    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
1273      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
1274    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
1275      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
1276    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1277      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
1278      to be able to limit tapelev size
1279    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
1280      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1281      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1282      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
1283    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
1284      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
1285      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
1286    
1287    checkpoint57p_post
1288    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
1289    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
1290      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
1291    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
1292    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
1293      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
1294       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
1295      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
1296     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
1297      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
1298      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
1299      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
1300    
1301    checkpoint57o_post
1302    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
1303      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
1304    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
1305      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
1306    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
1307      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
1308      (worth another tag)
1309    
1310    checkpoint57n_post
1311    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
1312    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
1313    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
1314    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
1315      for atmos. state.
1316    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
1317    o in natl_box_adjoint:
1318      * updated exp 1 to 10
1319        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
1320    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
1321      to incorporate latest changes
1322    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
1323      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
1324    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
1325    
1326    checkpoint57m_post
1327    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
1328      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
1329    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
1330      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
1331    
1332    checkpoint57l_post
1333     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
1334    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
1335       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
1336    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
1337       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
1338    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
1339          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
1340    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
1341    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
1342      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
1343    
1344    checkpoint57k_post
1345    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
1346      new EXF diagnostics output.
1347    
1348    checkpoint57j_post
1349    o exf
1350      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
1351        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
1352        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
1353      * extended diagnostics output
1354        - now includes all EXF variables
1355        - hs, hl moved to common block
1356        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
1357        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
1358        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
1359      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
1360      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
1361        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
1362    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
1363    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
1364      several times with different frequencies.
1365    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
1366      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
1367      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
1368    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
1369      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
1370    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
1371    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
1372    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
1373      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
1374         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
1375    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
1376     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
1377    
1378    checkpoint57i_post
1379    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
1380      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
1381    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
1382      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
1383    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
1384    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
1385      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
1386    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
1387    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
1388    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
1389      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
1390    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
1391      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
1392    o pkg/diagnostics:
1393      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
1394      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
1395    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
1396    
1397    checkpoint57h_done
1398      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
1399      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
1400    
1401    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
1402      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
1403    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
1404      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
1405    
1406    checkpoint57h_post
1407    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
1408    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
1409      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
1410    checkpoint57h_pre
1411    
1412    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
1413      and mnc_outdir_num are false
1414    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
1415      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
1416    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
1417      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
1418    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
1419    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
1420    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
1421    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
1422      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
1423    
1424    checkpoint57g_post
1425    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
1426      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
1427      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
1428    checkpoint57g_pre
1429    
1430    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
1431      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
1432    o added new control variables
1433      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
1434      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
1435    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
1436      (suggested by G. Forget)
1437    
1438    checkpoint57f_post
1439    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
1440      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
1441      account for baseTime shift
1442    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
1443    checkpoint57f_pre
1444    
1445    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
1446    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
1447      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
1448    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
1449    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
1450      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
1451      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
1452      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
1453    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
1454      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
1455    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
1456    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
1457      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
1458        new version is now more standards-compliant
1459    o adjoint-related modifications
1460      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
1461      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
1462      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
1463    
1464    checkpoint57e_post
1465    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
1466    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
1467    
1468    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
1469      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
1470    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
1471    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
1472    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
1473      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
1474      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
1475      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
1476    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
1477      - off by default for backwards compatibility
1478      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
1479    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
1480    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
1481    
1482    checkpoint57d_post
1483    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
1484    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
1485      output from the diagnostics package
1486    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
1487    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
1488      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
1489    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
1490    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
1491    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
1492      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
1493    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
1494    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
1495    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
1496      at the end).
1497    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
1498      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
1499    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
1500    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
1501      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
1502      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
1503    
1504    checkpoint57c_post
1505    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
1506    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
1507    checkpoint57c_pre
1508    
1509    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
1510      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
1511    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
1512      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
1513    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
1514    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
1515    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
1516    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
1517      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
1518      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
1519      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
1520        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
1521        *all* data points are output
1522    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
1523    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
1524    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
1525    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
1526    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
1527      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
1528      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
1529      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
1530    o pkg/ctrl/
1531      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
1532        May be enabled via doPackDiag
1533      *  introduce z-scaling of
1534         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
1535         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
1536    o pkg/mdsio/
1537      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
1538      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
1539    
1540    checkpoint57b_post
1541    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
1542    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
1543      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
1544      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
1545    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
1546    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
1547      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
1548     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
1549    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
1550      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
1551            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
1552    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
1553      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
1554    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
1555      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
1556        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
1557    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
1558    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
1559    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
1560      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
1561      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
1562    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
1563    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
1564      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
1565      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
1566      - restore use of make (not gmake)
1567      - add CC=gcc if using g77
1568    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
1569      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
1570        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
1571        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
1572        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
1573      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
1574        changed)
1575      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
1576    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
1577      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
1578      preprocessors
1579    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
1580     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
1581     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
1582     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
1583       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
1584       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
1585    
1586    checkpoint57a_post
1587    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
1588      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
1589      (what a pain)
1590    
1591    checkpoint57a_pre
1592    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
1593    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
1594    
1595    checkpoint57
1596    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
1597      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
1598      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
1599      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
1600    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
1601    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
1602    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
1603      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
1604    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
1605      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
1606    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
1607      and include in natl_box_adjoint
1608    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
1609      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
1610    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
1611      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
1612    
1613    checkpoint56c_post
1614    o OBCS as control variables
1615      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
1616      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
1617      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
1618      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
1619      - add dummy weights for obcs
1620    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
1621    o optim:
1622      - remove unnecessary header files
1623      - adjusted namelists
1624      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
1625    o exf:
1626      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
1627      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
1628    o mdsio:
1629      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
1630    
1631    checkpoint56b_post
1632    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
1633      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
1634      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
1635      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
1636      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
1637    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
1638      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
1639      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
1640    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
1641      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
1642      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
1643      testreport.
1644    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
1645    
1646    checkpoint56a_post
1647    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
1648      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
1649        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
1650        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
1651        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
1652      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
1653      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
1654      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
1655        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
1656    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
1657    o PTRACERS:
1658      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
1659        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
1660        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
1661      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
1662        monitorFreq
1663      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
1664    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
1665    o exf_check_range:
1666      * default changed to .TRUE.
1667      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
1668      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
1669      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
1670      TBD: a version with stricter range
1671           permitted range would be runtime parameters
1672  o GMredi:  o GMredi:
1673    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;    - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
1674    - 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 1677  o GCHEM:
1677    - 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
1678      the blocking exchanges to avoid computing halos in GCHEM_FORCING_SEP      the blocking exchanges to avoid computing halos in GCHEM_FORCING_SEP
1679    - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.    - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
1680      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
1681        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
1682      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
1683        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
1684        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
1685        of ptracers_forcing
1686      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
1687        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
1688      - cleaning up
1689  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
