5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
8      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
9    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
10      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
11      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
12      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
13    o adjoint:
14      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
15      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
16    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
17     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
18      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
19     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
20    o ecco
21      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
22    o adjoint
23      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
24      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
25      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
26        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
27    o seaice:
28     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
29       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
30         and ostres
31       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
32         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
33         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
34     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
35     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
36       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
37       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
38       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
39    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
40      include it only where its needed
41    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
42    o seaice:
43      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
44      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
45      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
46    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
47      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
48    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
49    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
50      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
51    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
52      (since checkpoint57x_post)
53    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
54    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
55      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
56    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
57      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
58      pkg/generic_advdiff
59    o seaice:
60      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
61        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
62        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
63      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
64      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
65      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
66        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
67      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
68      
69    checkpoint58a_post
70    o seaice:
71      - bug fix in advect.F
72    o shelfice:
73      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
74        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
75        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
76        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
77        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
78        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
79        deep-reaching shelfice.
80      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
81      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
82        now the default
83      - give a few constants more intuitive names
84    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
85      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
86      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
87      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
88      STDOUT.
89    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
90    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
91      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
92     - works
93     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
94              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
95                instead of new field kTopC
96              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
97                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
98                and ini_mask_etc.F?
99              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
100    o seaice pkg:
101     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
102       freezing point of sea water at the surface
103     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
104       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
105    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
106       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
107       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
108    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
109       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
110       (might add other options later)
111    o pkg/bulk_force:
112     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
113     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
114       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
115       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
116     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
117     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
118     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
119       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
120     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
121    
122    checkpoint58
123    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
124      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
125      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
126      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
127      - requested by CNH but off by default
128      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
129      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
130    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
131      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
132      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
133      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
134    
135    checkpoint57z_post
136    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
137      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
138    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
139    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
140    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
141      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
142    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
143    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
144         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
145    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
146         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
147      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
148      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
149          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
150          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
151      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
152          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
153          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
154      * 3 cases:
155          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
156          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
157          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
158    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
159      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
160      * enable at compile-time via
161        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
162      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
163      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
164      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
165    
166    checkpoint57y_post
167    First step for a NLFS adjoint
168    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
169    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
170    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
171    o testreport seemed happy
172    checkpoint57y_pre
173    
174    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
175    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
176    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
177    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
178    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
179      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
180    
181    checkpoint57x_post
182    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
183    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
184      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
185      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
186    o Non-Hydrostatic:
187     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
188     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
189    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
190     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
191     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
192       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
193     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
194    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
195    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
196    o adjoint
197      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
198        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
199      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
200    
201    checkpoint57w_post
202    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
203                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
204       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
205    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
206      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
207    o tracer advection scheme:
208      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
209       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
210       was not very convenient).
211      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
212       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
213    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
214      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
215      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
216      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
217    
218    checkpoint57v_post
219    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
220    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
221      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
222      identical results for a few days of testing
223    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
224      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
225      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
226      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
227       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
228    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
229      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
230      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
231    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
232      and for passive tracers
233    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
234      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
235      file).
236    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
237      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
238    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
239      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
240       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
241      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
242    
243    checkpoint57u_post
244    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
245      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
246        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
247        are treated
248      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
249        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
250      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
251        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
252        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
253        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
254        with EXF)
255    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
256    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
257      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
258    
259    checkpoint57t_post
260    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
261    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
262      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
263      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
264    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
265      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
266    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
267      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
268    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
269    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
270    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
271      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
272    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
273      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
274      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
275    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
276      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
277      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
278      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
279      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
280      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
281    
282    checkpoint57s_post
283    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
284      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
285      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
286      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
287      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
288      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
289      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
290      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
291    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
292    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
293      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
294      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
295      they did before.
296    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
297      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
298    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
299    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
300    o various changes to mnc including:
301      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
302      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
303          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
304      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
305          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
306      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
307    
308    checkpoint57r_post
309    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
310    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
311    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
312    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
313    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
314      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
315    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
316      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
317    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
318    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
319    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
320    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
321    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
322      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
323      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
324      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
325    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
326      (see README file)
327    
328    checkpoint57q_post
329    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
330    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
331      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
332    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
333      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
334    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
335      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
336      to be able to limit tapelev size
337    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
338      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
339      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
340      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
341    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
342      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
343      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
344    
345    checkpoint57p_post
346    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
347    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
348      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
349    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
350    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
351      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
352       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
353      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
354     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
355      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
356      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
357      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).

359    checkpoint57o_post
360    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
361      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
362    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
363      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
364    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
365      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
366      (worth another tag)
367    
368    checkpoint57n_post
369    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
370    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
371    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
372    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
373      for atmos. state.
374    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
375    o in natl_box_adjoint:
376      * updated exp 1 to 10
377        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
378    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
379      to incorporate latest changes
380    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
381      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
382    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
383    
384    checkpoint57m_post
385    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
386      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
387    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
388      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
389    
390    checkpoint57l_post
391     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
392    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
393       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
394    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
395       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
396    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
397          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
398    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
399    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
400      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
401    
402    checkpoint57k_post
403    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
404      new EXF diagnostics output.
405    
406    checkpoint57j_post
407    o exf
408      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
409        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
410        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
411      * extended diagnostics output
412        - now includes all EXF variables
413        - hs, hl moved to common block
414        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
415        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
416        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
417      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
418      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
419        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
420    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
421    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
422      several times with different frequencies.
423    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
424      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
425      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
426    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
427      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
428    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
429    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
430    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
431      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
432         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
433    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
434     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
435    
436    checkpoint57i_post
437    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
438      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
439    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
440      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
441    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
442    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
443      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
444    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
445    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
446    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
447      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
448    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
449      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
450    o pkg/diagnostics:
451      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
452      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
453    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
454    
455    checkpoint57h_done
456      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
457      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
458    
459    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
460      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
461    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
462      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
463    
464    checkpoint57h_post
465    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
466    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
467      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
468    checkpoint57h_pre
469    
470    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
471      and mnc_outdir_num are false
472    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
473      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
474    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
475      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
476    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
477    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
478    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
479    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
480      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
481    
482    checkpoint57g_post
483    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
484      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
485      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
486    checkpoint57g_pre
487    
488    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
489      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
490    o added new control variables
491      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
492      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
493    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
494      (suggested by G. Forget)
495    
496    checkpoint57f_post
497    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
498      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
499      account for baseTime shift
500    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
501    checkpoint57f_pre
502    
503    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
504    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
505      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
506    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
507    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
508      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
509      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
510      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
511    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
512      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
513    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
514    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
515      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
516        new version is now more standards-compliant
517    o adjoint-related modifications
518      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
519      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
520      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
521    
522    checkpoint57e_post
523    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
524    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
525    
526    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
527      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
528    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
529    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
530    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
531      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
532      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
533      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
534    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
535      - off by default for backwards compatibility
536      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
537    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
538    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
539    
540    checkpoint57d_post
541    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
542    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
543      output from the diagnostics package
544    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
545    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
546      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
547    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
548    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
549    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
550      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
551    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
552    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
553    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
554      at the end).
555    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
556      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
557    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
558    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
559      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
560      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
561    
562    checkpoint57c_post
563    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
564    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
565    checkpoint57c_pre
566    
567    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
568      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
569    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
570      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
571    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
572    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
573    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
574    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
575      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
576      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
577      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
578        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
579        *all* data points are output
580    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
581    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
582    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
583    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
584    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
585      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
586      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
587      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
588    o pkg/ctrl/
589      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
590        May be enabled via doPackDiag
591      *  introduce z-scaling of
592         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
593         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
594    o pkg/mdsio/
595      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
596      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
597    
598    checkpoint57b_post
599    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
600    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
601      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
602      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
603    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
604    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
605      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
606     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
607    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
608      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
609            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
610    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
611      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
612    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
613      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
614        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
615    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
616    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
617    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
618      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
619      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
620    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
621    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
622      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
623      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
624      - restore use of make (not gmake)
625      - add CC=gcc if using g77
626    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
627      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
628        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
629        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
630        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
631      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
632        changed)
633      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
634    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
635      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
636      preprocessors
637    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
638     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
639     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
640     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
641       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
642       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
643    
644    checkpoint57a_post
645    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
646      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
647      (what a pain)
648    
649    checkpoint57a_pre
650    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
651    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
652    
653    checkpoint57
654    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
655      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
656      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
657      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
658    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
659    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
660    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
661      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
662    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
663      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
664    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
665      and include in natl_box_adjoint
666    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
667      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
668    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
669      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
670    
671    checkpoint56c_post
672    o OBCS as control variables
673      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
674      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
675      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
676      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
677      - add dummy weights for obcs
678    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
679    o optim:
680      - remove unnecessary header files
681      - adjusted namelists
682      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
683    o exf:
684      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
685      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
686    o mdsio:
687      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
688    
689    checkpoint56b_post
690    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
691      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
692      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
693      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
694      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
695    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
696      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
697      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
698    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
699      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
700      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
701      testreport.
702    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
703    
704    checkpoint56a_post
705    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
706      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
707        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
708        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
709        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
710      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
711      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
712      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
713        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
714    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
715    o PTRACERS:
716      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
717        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
718        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
719      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
720        monitorFreq
721      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
722    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
723    o exf_check_range:
724      * default changed to .TRUE.
725      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
726      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
727      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
728      TBD: a version with stricter range
729           permitted range would be runtime parameters
730    o GMredi:
731      - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
732      - change S/R GRAD_SIGMA to be valid in the overlap on CS-grid.
733      - change the default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h: compile everything except Visbeck
734    o GCHEM:
735      - move call to GCHEM_FORCING_SEP, so that it is now called before
736        the blocking exchanges to avoid computing halos in GCHEM_FORCING_SEP
737      - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
738      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
739        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
740      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
741        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
742        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
743        of ptracers_forcing
744      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
745        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
746      - cleaning up
747    o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src
748    
749    checkpoint56
750    o AIM: read land-Fraction earlier (from ini-fixed) and monitor land at nIter0
751    o mnc: cleanup "full" files--fixes out-of-memory problem
752    o ECCO-GODAE
753      * model/, pkg/, code/, input/ now complete w.r.t. ECCO-GODAE production setup
754      * fully merged and updated from SIO code
755        windstress sign change affects
756        - exf_inscal_[u/v]stress
757        - sign of xx_tau[u/v] adjustments
758        - signs in cost_scat
759      * ctrl_get_gen: avoid update of tau[u/v] for first few days
760      * natl_box_adjoint updated and compressed
761      * 2-level checkpoint switch added
762        (tested in EXP. 1 of natl_box_adjoint)
763      * new switch doInitXX to avoid init. of xx_... in optimcycle=0
764    o SVD
765      * first complete, non-hacked version for SVD calculations
766      * all interfaces clean w.r.t to handling of xx_..., adxx_..., g_xx_...
767        performed via direct access files admtlm_vector.it????
768        (via ctrl_[un]pack)
769      * optimcycle is used for ARPACK iteration counter
770        (note: adxx_... is iterated, rather than xx_...; latter is constant!)
771      * EV problem ok w.r.t. L2-norm in tangent space; need to check other norms
772        and add linear transforms where necessary
773      * controls are initial/final SST, SSS (can be extended; need to check
774        ctrl_set_[un]pack_xyz.F according to ctrl_set_[un]pack_xy.F
775    o mdsio: filename info to both stderr, stdout
776    o exf: exf_inscal_runoff: separated default conversion [m/year] -> [m/sec]
777      from sign change
778    
779    checkpoint55j_post
780    o isolate dissipation tendency (allow to keep it out off AB) in V.I form.
781      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
782    o add consistent build directories and .cvsignore files to verification
783    o added viscA4GridMin and viscA4GridMax for more control on biharmonic viscosity
784    o make all subroutines 30 or less characters in length for certain older
785      compilers to work (a thorough search only turns up two routines in
786      pkg/ptracers)
787    o allow (vecinv only) a different horiz. viscosity for Divergence and Vorticity;
788      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
789    
790    checkpoint55i_post
791    o change arrays for total vertical diffusivity (2.D if explicit,
792      3.D if implicit) ; each ptracer uses its own background value.
793    o added mnc/NetCDF output capability to ocn_compon_interf
794      - added bits to verification/cpl_aim+ocn so that it can run on
795        ITRDA and other clusters without the mpirun "-wd" option
796    o fixed wayward endif in mom_fluxform.F that messed up cyclindrical
797      configuration
798    o give MNC the ability to create additional files rather than
799      exceeding a specified file size limit "MNC_MAX_FILESIZE"
800      - the default is just less than 2GB which is a practical limit
801        on many systems
802    o Compute the non-local term using either KPP vertical diffusivity (=default)
803       or the total vertical diffusivity (when KPP_ghatUseTotalDiffus=T)
804    
805    checkpoint55h_post
806    o add verification test "vermix"
807    o remove all the *_ioinc flags and replace with the single global
808      outputTypesInclusive flag
809    o allow to set a vertical profile of vertical diffusivity for T & S
810    o call PACKAGE_BOOT & PACKAGES_READPARMS just after INI_PARMS
811    o useMNC moved from data.mnc to data.pkg
812    
813    checkpoint55g_post
814    o Renaming carbon AD experiments to comply with testreport conventions
815    o Updating adjoint of Held-Suarez hs94.1x64x5
816    o Fixing directives for non-ECCO forward_step, after ECCO directives
817      have been fixed to avoid recomp. of do_oceanic_phys
818      Works well for global_ocean.90x40x15,
819      but recomp. issue remains for carbon
820    o Updating adjoint output for natl_box_adjoint after
821      pkg/ecco has been modified (see taga c55d_post)
822    
823    checkpoint55f_post
824    o rename to timeave_init_fixed
825    
826    checkpoint55e_post
827    o some delicate re-shuffle of store directives to avoid one
828      extra call of do_oceanic_physics
829      affects ecco_the_main_loop.F, do_oceanic_physics.F
830      checkpoint_lev1_directives.h
831    o NB: this may break global_ocean adjoint temporarily,
832      but it is clear how to fix it. Will do later, need this now.
833    
834    checkpoint55d_post
835    o ECCO specific cost function terms (up-to-date with 1x1 runs)
836    o ecco_cost_weights is modified to 1x1 runs
837    o modifs to allow observations to be read in as
838      single file or yearly files
839    o enable to read exf forcing fields as either
840      single file or yearly files (flag useExfYearlyFields)
841    checkpoint55d_pre
842    
843    o switch between 2-level and 3-level checkpointing
844    o add ability of MNC to write local and "partial" (eg. 2D slices where
845      the full 3D field is never actually stored) arrays to NetCDF files
846      with the correct (that is, the complete multi-dimensional) set of
847      array indicies
848      - used in mom_vecinv() to write the diagFreq output
849      - tested (demonstrated) in verification/aim.5l_cs
850    o further mnc-ification
851      - add verification/lab_sea to the list with mnc setups
852      - fix undefined mnc v-names in cd_code
853      - add kpp to mnc output (both snapshot and timeave)
854    o non-hydrostatic code
855      - added horizontal viscosity parameter viscAhW for w, that replaces viscAh
856        in calc_gw.F
857      - defaults to viscAh
858      - this is useful, when I want to use viscAh=0 (e.g., only biharmonic
859        friction or Leith) in non-hydrostatic mode, as long as there is
860        no biharmonic friction and/or Leigth or equivalent for vertical velocity.
861    o pkg/cost
862      extend simple cost functions to treat time mean quantities
863      (T,U,V) via cost_accumulate_state from cost_tile
864    o multidimAdvection on CS-grid: implement the full 3 pass ; overlap needs to
865        be 2 times larger than the minimum size the advection scheme requires.
866        now get a perfect conservation of salt in advect_cs test-exp (updated)
867    o GGL90 (Gaspar's TKE mixed layer)
868      - add horizontal diffusion of TKE, requires exchanges in
869        do_fields_blocking_exchanges, horizontal diffusivity is zero by
870        default. In OPA there is no horizontal diffusion of TKE but the
871        mixing coefficients are computed from a horizontal average of TKE of
872        6 points or so. I think that diffusion has a little more physical
873        justification.
874      - clean up ggl90_calc in the hope of reducing memory usage (this hope
875        was in vain)
876      - mask tke-variable in ggl90_init
877    o fix mask Pb in multidimAdvection on CS-grid (still a small Pb with ipass)
878    o fix biharmonic diffusion on CS-grid.
879    o more obcs stuff
880      - added obcs_external_fields_load as an alternative to the EXF-pkg option
881        for reading boundary values. This routine is called from
882        obcs_prescribe_read
883      - updated obcs_check
884      - changed sponge layer relaxation parameter units for days to seconds
885      - turned off sponge layer by default
886      - changed argument list of OBCS_CALC to myTime+deltaTclock
887      - fixed about 35 bugs in obcs_external_fields_load
888    
889    checkpoint55c_post
890    o obcs stuff
891      - new runtime flags useOBCSprescribe, useOBCSbalance
892      - re-arranged obcs_calc
893      - moved exf_getobcs to obcs_prescibe_read
894        obcs_prescibe_read is called after ORLANSKI stuff
895        and independent of it (executable can contain all).
896      - updated obcs_check
897      - added exchanges for U,V,gU,gV for useOBCSprescribe=.TRUE.
898        These may be necessary only if tangential velocities are
899        prescribed at OB, not sure, needs testing.
900    o make the MNC_CW_ADD_VATTR_* subroutines all take scalar arguments
901      which simplifies the calls and passes the ifc check-bounds test
902    
903    checkpoint55b_post
904    o add a 2D scalar, Z location, exchange_2 routine.
905    o EXCH_UV for CS-grid: add one u,v in the corner-halo region, allows
906      to compute vorticity on a wider stencil [e.g., vort3(0,1)&(1,0)]
907      affects advect_cs results (for the wrong reason): update output.txt
908    o use a more standard discretization for biharmonic viscosity ;
909     (original version still available with #define MOM_VI_ORIGINAL_VISCA4 )
910      affects results of dome set-up: update output.txt
911    o fix gad_advection.F (CubedSphere part), back to version 1.23
912    o fix bug in mom_vi_del2uv.F (CubedSphere part).
913    
914    checkpoint55a_post
915    o merged code to
916      * prescribe/read time-dependent open boundaries
917        (works in conjunction with exf, cal)
918      * sponge layer code for open boundaries
919      * each boundary N/S/E/W now has its own CPP option
920        (healthy for the adjoint)
921    
922    checkpoint55
923    o up-to-date adjoint of previous breaks
924      - natl_box_adjoint: problem for exp 12, 13: cost = 0. needs fix
925      - global_ocean_ebm: adjoint still needs fix (TLM ok)
926      - global_ocean.90x40x15: extended GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
927      - carbon: * remove tr1-related adjoint verification
928                * add ptracer as control variable
929    o remove all tr1-related code (ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER)
930      (adjoint stuff still has some tr1 'names', but all use ptracer arrays)
931    
932    checkpoint54f_post
933    o in verification/carbin/ remove experiment related to
934      ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER (array tr1 etc)
935      code_ad/ input_ad/ results_ad
936    
937    o add two new packages
938      - ggl90, TKE-model of Gaspar et al. (1990), Blanke+Delecluse (1993)
939        + subject to optimization (memory)
940      - opps, OPPS (ocean penetrative plume scheme) of Paluszkiewicz+Romea (1997)
941        + subject to reordering (many GOTOs in the original code)
942        + so far opps is called for every (i,j) point, and then operates in
943          the vertical; one may want to reorder the scheme in order operate in
944          horizontal slabs at the cost of (a lot of) memory, at least ten new 3D
945          fields)
946    o overhaul of IO so that we now have flags for MDSIO and/or MNC
947      - all verification tests compile and run with linux_ia32_g77
948      - defaults are compatible with current input files--nothing
949        should change if you were not previously using MNC
950      - MNC output has been added in numerous places (eg. timeave)
951        but there are still a few writes not yet do-able with MNC
952        (this is in progress)
953      - flags now allow for either/or/both use of MDSIO and MNC and
954        documentation will soon follow
955      - numerous small formatting cleanups for ProTeX
956    o add version info (via BUILD_INFO.h) to MNC and stdout
957    
958    checkpoint54e_post
959    o add two new packages
960      - pp81 (Packanowski and Philander, 1981), Richardson number and
961        stratification dependent mixing
962      - my82 (Mellor and Yamada, 1982) level 2 turbulence closure scheme
963      - these scheme operate in a similar manner as KPP (without ghat, of
964        course), however there is only one diffusivity that is used for both
965        temperature and salinity (and passive tracers)ç
966    o add offline package
967    o add "verification/dic_example" which contains a dic-gchem-ptracer setup
968      provided by Stephanie Dutkiewicz
969    o genmake2: add ability to search for C compilers and cleanup test output
970      - fixes recent SX-6 problems and should help with others (eg. HP-UX)
971    
972    checkpoint54d_post
973    o data.diagnostics: if levels() is unspecified then ALL levels are diagnosed
974    o bug fix in pkg/cal/cal_addtime.F for TheCalendar='model' day count is wrong,
975      leading to additional shift by 5 days each year of integration
976       (i.e. leading to considerable offset over the years)
977    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/thsice: use z* + RealFW + staggerTimeStep
978    o start with no AB and no initial filtering (staggerTimeStep):
979      change the results of test-exp: hs94.128x64x5, hs94.1x64x5 & hs94.cs-32x32x5
980    o move ocean specific S/R calls from forward_step.F to do_oceanic_phys.F
981      (external loading & cpl import/export stay in forward_step.F)
982    o update coupling interface to work with new staggerTimeStep
983    o change MDSIO ptracers_pickup.
984    o fix a bug in Flux deriv. vs Ts (pkg/aim_v23/phy_suflux_sice.F);
985    o genmake2 fixes so netcdf now works on halem ("osf1_alpha_*")
986    o bugs fixed in kpp_calc.F (ustarY) and external_forcing.F (Qsw & Partial-cell)
987    
988    checkpoint54c_post
989    o replace surfaceTendency U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr by surfaceForcing U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr
990      this affects (truncation error) output.txt of test-exp:
991       global_ocean_ebm,_pressure,.cs32x15(&.thsice), lab_sea & natl_box
992    o pkg/kpp: replace pMask by maskC to reduce memory size (one 3.D array)
993    o change Qnet to always be the net heat flux, (+upward).
994      affects (truncation error) output of natl_box exp.: updated
995    o define the max number of passive tracers in PTRACERS_SIZE.h
996    o start to test mnc routinely in exp0
997    o add sea-ice loading (sIceLoad) as a new forcing field.
998    
999    checkpoint54b_post
1000    o add testreport "-j JOBS" option for parallel builds (tested and pretty
1001       impressive on Altix and Opteron systems)
1002    o diagnostics can now write NetCDF files through the mnc package
1003    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: update pkg aim_v23 & thsice; update aim.5l_cs output
1004    o staggerTimeStep & multi-Dim-Advec: Exch(U,V) added
1005    o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: rescale T & S surface tendencies.
1006      affects (truncation error) output of lab_sea & natl_box exp.: updated
1007    o change pickup _cd & _ptracers (old pickup restart: usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
1008    
1009    checkpoint54a_post
1010    o re-write staggerTimeStep: step fwd U,V and then T,S (reverse the order).
1011    o change pickup file (to restart from old pickup, set usePickupBeforeC54=.T.)
1012    o get a perfect restart when using RealFreshWaterFlux + NLFS (not finished)
1013    o update output of all exp. that use staggerTimeStep (except hs94.cs & 2D)
1014      + internal_wave (shift in writing cg2d_ini_res)
1015    checkpoint54a_pre
1016    
1017    o require forcing_In_AB=.FALSE. and remove surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice
1018      - modified verification/lab_sea and natl_box_adjoint accordingly
1019    
1020    checkpoint54
1021    checkpoint53g_post
1022    o prepare splitting of thermodynamics: store convect.counter in common block
1023    o store d.etaH/dt (instead of Div.hV) in common ; affects (truncation error)
1024      output of: global_ocean.cs32x15, global_ocean_pressure & internal_wave
1025    o cnh's modifs to gad_advection.F for cube-sphere multi-dim advection
1026    o new parameter "nShapS": allow to treat differently S from T (nShapT)
1027    o separate Vert.Advec.Scheme from horizontal Advec.Scheme (T & S)
1028    o restore adjointability
1029    
1030    checkpoint53f_post
1031    o modifications that affect AIM experiment results (update output.txt):
1032      - no advection of S at top interface Nr (pkg/generic_advdiff)
1033      - air surf. temp: use lower value between T0 & T1 (phy_suflux_prep.F)
1034    o AIM pkg:
1035      - include stability function into surf.Flux derivative relative to Tsurf
1036      - calculate clear-sky radiation & surface temp. change (for diagnostics)
1037    
1038    checkpoint53e_post
1039    o merged cylindrical coord configuration
1040    o added rotating_tank experiment
1041    checkpoint53e_pre
1042    
1043    checkpoint53d_post
1044    o faulks upgraded: re-generate output.txt that have changed:
1045       global_ocean.cs32x15(.thsice), global_ocean_ebm, lab_sea, natl_box
1046    o Added Bryan and Lewis, 1979, vertical diffusivity profile
1047    o pkg/land: fix problem in land_impl_temp.F when Ts arround freezing.
1048    o added Sadourny discretization of Coriolis
1049      - moved some PARAMETERS from mom_*_coriolis.F to PARAMS.h
1050      - re-enabled use of omega3 (useAbsVorticity)
1051    o added Leith (Phys. Fluids, 1968, 10, 1409-1416) variable viscosity for
1052      vector-invariant equations
1053      - note: does *NOT* yet use same variable visc. for no-slip BC's.
1054    o recoded the lateral boundary conditions for non-hydrostatic w, this time
1055      hopefully without new bugs
1056      - still to do: biharmonic friction for non-hydrostatic w
1057    o bug fix for mom_*_sidedrag: rA -> rAs,rAw
1058    o regenerated output for global_ocean_ebm (using -ieee)
1059    o fix mom_common/mom_*_sidedrag.F to recover numeric output prior to creation
1060      of mom_common/
1061      - simple re-arrangement of instructions within computing loop
1062    checkpoint53d_pre
1063    
1064    checkpoint53c_post
1065    o new version of coupler for AIM+thSIce and Ocean models
1066     - new fields (SSS,h_MixLayer ...) are exchanged through the coupler
1067     - land: change Evaporation of snow
1068     - aim with thSIce: fix bug in snow-precip.
1069    o changes to calc_gw.F
1070     - bug fix for w^2 term near the bottom boundary
1071     - (hopefully) improve the lateral slip boundary condtions for use with
1072        partial/looped cells
1073      - because the bug fix changes two verification experiments anyway (exp5
1074        and plume on slope), change the lateral boundary condition from half slip
1075        to the value of no_slip_sides
1076    o ebm package wasnt quite up to the parallel task. Fixed that.
1077    o Adjoint of EBM package + verification
1078      * TLM OK
1079      * ADM not sufficient accuracy yet (needs further testing)
1080    
1081    checkpoint53b_post
1082    o Commiting new energy balance model to repository
1083      * package is pkg/ebm
1084      * verif. is verification/global_ocean_ebm
1085      * references are in ebm_driver.F
1086    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:
1087    C        Global thermohaline circulation. Part I:
1088    C        Sensitivity to atmospheric moisture transport.
1089    C        J. Climate 12(1), 71-82
1090    C      * X. Wang, P. Stone and J. Marotzke, 1999:

1096    C        by atmospheric eddy transports.
1097    C        J. Climate 7(12), 1870-1882
1098    o Will need long integration testing.
1099    checkpoint53b_pre
1100    
1101    o created pkg/mom_common in preparation for variable viscosity code
1102    o renamed and split ini_mnc_io
1103    o pkg/land: only liquid water can diffuse or run-off
1104    o AIM using land: soil wetness availability account for snow
1105    o added printMapIncludesZeros to EEPARMS namelist
1106    
1107    checkpoint53a_post
1108    o restore TAMC compatiility for exf_constants.h
1109      (no usage of _d in .h)
1110    o Additional storing in KPP in an attempt to fix
1111      TAMC problem with adjoint of KPP code.
1112      (no success...)
1113      Identical code works fine with TAF.
1114    o Fixed verification/natl_box_adjoint experiments.
1115      Initial conditions for Experiments 4 and 5 are now
1116      set to "SEAICE_initialHEFF=0", which is more reasonable,
1117      and hence gives results closer to that of Experiment 2.
1118      Experiment 6 requires "SEAICE_initialHEFF=1" and is working once again.
1119    
1120    checkpoint53
1121    o stable checkpoint with up to date adjoint
1122      TLM tests only run for 1st grdchk at the moment. Its unclear if
1123      this is a code problem or a problem with resetting code for g_
1124      variables that is being autogenerated wrong.
1125      Otherwise:
1126       o code is testing well on Linux (P4 and AMD), SGI Alitix and Irix.
1127       o IBM and HPQ tests could not be run because NCAR (IBM) and NCCS (HPQ)
1128         are both still in chaos following their security messes.
1129    
1130    checkpoint52n_post
1131    o various build (mostly genmake2) changes including:
1132      - ability to build/run more easily within Cygwin and MacOS X
1133      - more complicated Makefiles with a stronger dependence on Gnu Make
1134    o pkg/seaice modifications
1135      - added SEAICE_deltaTtherm and SEAICE_deltaTdyn in order to reduce cost
1136        of pkg/seaice.  For time being, SEAICE_deltaTtherm = deltaTtracer
1137        and SEAICE_deltaTdyn must be integer multiple of SEAICE_deltaTtherm
1138      - changed proxy for geostrophic velocity and updated
1139        verification/lab_sea/results/* accordingly
1140      - removed ADI dynamic solver from pkg/seaice
1141      - replaced all occurrences of 1/CSTICE or 1/CSUICE
1142        they caused a segmentation fault under certain circumstances
1143      - removed unused field WATR
1144    o bug fix in exf-package:
1145      -  u/vwind are defined at tracer/pressure points. The values of u/vwindmask
1146         now reflect that.
1147    o small fixes in the cal-package:
1148      - set reference date to first of January for the 'model'-calendar
1149      - failing of cal_CheckDate in cal_FullDate now actually results in a
1150        warning
1151    o small modifications in exf-package to increase flexibility:
1152      - change climtempfreeze from a constant to a runtime parameter that
1153        is specified in data.exf_clim (default = -1.9)
1154      - introduce runtime parameter windstressmax (default = 2.0) that is
1155        specified in data.exf
1156    o fix in pkg/thsice:
1157      - update Evap (Tsf changes) to be consistent with Latent heat flux
1158      - maintain snow precipitation unchanged (even if Tsf >=0).
1159     both affect global_ocean.cs32x15/(.thsice) results ; update output.txt.thsice
1160    
1161    checkpoint52m_post
1162    o commented out call to cal_GetMonthsRec in swfrac.F and added some comments;
1163      this does not change any of the results, because myIter=0 in swfrac always
1164      lead to jwtype=2 (the default anyway), but the call makes little sense
1165      as a default
1166    o no SHORTWAVE HEATING lost at the bottom; affects lab_sea output; updated
1167    o re-work pkg/thsice interface with ocean & bulk_force pkg to allow
1168      atmospheric model (AIM) to use it ; add a "slab ocean" component.
1169    o pkg/aim_v23 : add interface to call thermodynamic sea-ice (thsice)
1170    o update global_ocean.cs32x15/output (.thsice) after changes in pkg/thsice
1171    o extending useSingleCpuIO option to work with new exch2 I/O format
1172      - old-style, missing-tile I/O is still accessible by defining CPP
1173        option MISSING_TILE_IO in pkg/mdsio/MDSIO_OPTIONS.h
1174    o monitor package can write to NetCDF files and/or STDOUT
1175    o fix re-definition bug in MNC_GRID_INIT_ALL()
1176    o doc/api_reference added
1177      - a framework for building an API Reference Manual using all
1178        the "protex" comments embedded in the code
1179      - see pkg/generic_advdiff, pkg/mnc for examples
1180    o MNC:
1181      - make myThid the last argument for all subroutines
1182      - new default for the grid files: NO halos
1183      - add useMNC and other run-time flags
1184      - separate per-file-group handling of the unlimited dimension
1185      - early initialization of MNC w/ flags read at the eeboot stage
1186        and lookup tables set in initialize_fixed
1187      - write all MNC output to a freshly-created directory
1188    o thermodynamics sea-ice (thsice) is now tested with testreport.
1189    o test exp. advect_cs: use the standard cs32 grid ; update output.
1190    o Added functionality to grdchk:
1191      pick global i,j,k position (or nearest wet) where to perform check.
1192    
1193    checkpoint52l_post
1194    o new land formulation:
1195      a) use ground enthalpy as prognostic variable to ensure exact
1196         energy conservation.
1197      b) account for water temperature and for latent heat of freezing
1198         in all processes (rain, run-off, ground storage)
1199      c) compute surface and ground temperature implicitly.
1200    o aim_v23 modification for new land model:
1201      a) Treat separately land / ocean / sea-ice surface fluxes
1202         to allow implicit computation of land & sea-ice surface temp.
1203      b) add snow precipitation.
1204    checkpoint52l_pre
1205    
1206    o fix problem (when 1 tile is empty) in min/max monitor.
1207    o fix bug in timeAve (u,vZetatave in common block)
1208    o no restoring terms under ice for pkg/seaice
1209    o moved SEAICE_DO_DIAGS to S/R do_the_model_io
1210    o bug fix for pkg/seaice pickups
1211    o change MNC call locations and add coordinate attributes
1212    o mask vorticity at the corner ; affects global_ocean.cs output
1213    o fix ini_curvilinear_grid ; test CS experiments with mpi
1214    o aim.5l_cs: modify sea-ice fraction input file ; update output
1215    o exf: Adding simple range check routine for exf fields after read
1216    
1217    checkpoint52k_post
1218    o removed top-level directory "diags"
1219      - we migrated these functions to pkg/timeave a long time ago
1220    o fixed bug introduced in pkg/monitor
1221    o accuracy ctrlprec = 32 insuffient for gradient checks using
1222      averaged fields (I/O via cost_averages)
1223      -> use ctrl.h in active_file*.F to control I/O precision.
1224    o paramter list of CALL ADTHE_MAIN_LOOP
1225    o added initial do_the_model_io to ecco
1226    o set all ...Freq to zero after cost_final
1227      taveFreq, dumpFreq, pChkptFreq
1228    o MAIN and ECCO differentiability restored
1229    
1230    checkpoint52j_post
1231    o fix nchklev in tamc.h for global_ocean...
1232    o Bringing flow and store directives up-to-date
1233    o Really weird thing!
1234      call do_the_model_io from the_main_loop with parameters
1235      starttime, niter0, instead of mytime, myiter, screws up the adjoint:
1236      TAF places a faulty re-call of initialise_varia
1237      after cost_final call which should not be there!
1238    checkpoint52j_pre
1239    
1240    o tweaked pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F to have more useful logic and
1241      error messages
1242    o fix errorMessageUnit problem. remove old version of mdsio from eesup/src
1243    o modified pkg/mdsio/mdsio_readfield.F -- commented out diskspace-eating
1244      debug output
1245    o modfied mdsio_writefield.F to handle non-global files under exch2
1246    o update AIM Cubed-Sphere exp (aim.5l_cs):
1247      use land, p*, and Franco.M forcing fields with fractional land-sea mask.
1248    o update AIM Equatorial Channel exp:
1249      use standard aim_v23 pkg and change the SST fields to be more realistic.
1250    o globalFile now works with exch2
1251    o merged mom_vi_calc_relvort3.F, mom_vi_del2uv.F and
1252      mon_vort3.F to make exch2 friendly with >1 tile per cube face
1253    o limit timeave output for hi-res integrations
1254    
1255    checkpoint52i_post
1256    o removed CPP_EEOPTIONS.h from verification/*/code
1257    o updated the tiling for global_ocean_pressure
1258    checkpoint52i_pre
1259    
1260    o update aim.5l_LatLon using the standard aim_v23 pkg (instead of
1261      the old pkg/aim).
1262    
1263    checkpoint52h_pre
1264    o shortened offending lines in exch2_send_rx?.template
1265    o modified W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h to reflect current topology generator
1266    o genmake2: add build & execute test for NetCDF code
1267    o modded aim.5l_cs and global_ocean.cs32x15 to use exch2, removed
1268      old grid files, moved CPP_EEMACROS.h to pkg/exch2
1269    o added useSingleCPUIO flag to monitor.F and mon_out.F
1270    o added temporary hack for sea-ice dynamics on the cube:
1271      metric terms are ignored and it is assumed that
1272      there is no sea-ice on cube faces 1, 2, 4, and 5.
1273    
1274    checkpoint52f_post
1275    o added exch2 cube routines to pkg/exch2
1276    o modified hs94.cs-32x32x5 to use it
1277    o added new grid files to hs94.cs-32x32x5
1278    checkpoint52f_pre
1279    
1280    checkpoint52e_post
1281    o first attempt to solve vertical advection (momemtum & T,S) Implicitly
1282      for now, only implemented with Lax-Wendroff (tracer) and VectInv (mom)
1283    o step.1 : rewrite (as in MultiDimAdvec) explicit tracer stepping (gad_calc_rhs.F)
1284      to work with implicit vertical advection and AB ;
1285    o Implic. vert. advect. implemented with flux-limiter, c2, u3 and c4 scheme.
1286    o update output (gad_calc_rhs.F changes affect truncation error) of exp:
1287     front_relax, global_ocean .cs32x15 & _pressure, internal_wave, lab_sea, natl_box
1288    checkpoint52e_pre
1289    
1290    o fix bug in impldiff when Nr=1 or Nr=2.
1291    o change the albedo in pkg/thsice (as GISS model); update output_thsice.txt
1292    o little changes (fftpack, aim/phy_suflux ...) to pass the "checkbounds" test.
1293    o fix deltaTfreesurf in update_cg2d.F (left from c45d_post): affects 2
1294      ocean exp. that use NLFS: global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_ocean_pressure
1295    o added exf_offset_atemp for Celsius to Kelvin conversion of atemp
1296    o eesupp/inc/EEPARAMS.h: MAX_NO_PROCS=1024
1297    o pkg/cal/cal_toseconds.F fix for long (>60 years) integrations
1298    
1299    checkpoint52d_post
1300    o re-tiled many expts to allow comparison in multi-processor mode
1301      - updated output accordingly
1302      - changed hs94.128x64x5 to use intial T from file rather than use the
1303        random number generator
1304    o add infrastructure in model routines for fizhi and gridalt packages
1305    o change global_ocean.cs32x15 because of Pb with GM on CS-grid.
1306    o changes to permit hi-res, cubed-sphere, configuration
1307      - added useSingleCpuIO capability to mdsio_readfield.F and exf_interp.F
1308      - added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/scatter_2d.F
1309      - added pkg/exf/exf_set_uv.F for on-the-fly interpolation and rotation
1310        of surface winds for the cube
1311      (A verification experiment, based on global_ocean.cs32x15, but with
1312       pkg/seaice turned on and with on-the-fly interpolation from the NCEP
1313       Gaussian grid is described in MITgcm_contrib/high_res_cube/README_ice,
1314       complete with example surface forcing files and matlab scripts to look
1315       at the output and compare it with that of global_ocean.cs32x15.)
1316    o packages pickup: $PKG_write_pickup called from packages_write_pickup ;
1317       but call to $PKG_read_pickup remains in $PKG_ini_vars: change CD_code
1318       to conform to the common rule.
1319    o check-in the first version of the coupler + interfaces for multi-components
1320       set-up (Chris's version, adapted to work on cubed-sphere grid); use MPI.
1321       - imply modification in eesupp (MPI_COMM_MODEL < MPI_COMM_WORLD).
1322       - atmosphere: use pkg aim_v23 ; no sea-ice for now.
1323       - ocean and atmos. share the same horizontal grid (no interpolation).
1324       - exchanges between component and coupler is done in forward_step
1325    o new verification experiment, cpl_aim+ocn:
1326       coupled ocean - AIM atmosphere on cs32 grid.
1327    
1328    checkpoint52d_pre
1329    o surface flux time-av diagnostic modified for NLFS & RealFreshWater
1330    o add call to AIM pendant S/R in external_forcing & external_fields_load.F
1331    
1332    checkpoint52c_post
1333    o Fixing OPTIONS files for use of exf:
1334      - ALLOW_ECCO not needed
1335      - ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h should not be included from
1336        EXF_OPTIONS.h/CAL_OPTIONS.h, but from CPP_OPTIONS.h
1337        as has been the case in the past
1338      - All cal/exf related options are currently set in
1339        single header file. Should remain so until we
1340        agree on a consistent new policy.
1341    o Removed all CPP options for cal package.
1342      cal has no more CPP options.
1343    o modified STOREs in GAD_ADVECTION
1344    o corrected key comp. for passkey
1345    
1346    checkpoint52b_post
1347    o new version: "thsice" of thermodynamic sea-ice pkg:
1348     - only 1 call from "forward_step"; conserve energy, fresh-water & salt.
1349     - modify fluxes but do not change theta directly;
1350     - light cleaning of bulk_force pkg (still needed with thsice).
1351     - add forcing fields + data files in global_ocean.cs32x15/inp_thsice
1352       + output_thsice.txt to test thsice & bulk_force pkgs.
1353    o put back grid & coriolis monitor output.
1354    checkpoint52b_pre
1355    
1356    o call "do_the_model_io" at the beginning (=> dump initial state)
1357    o use rhoConstFresh to define convertEmP2rUnit (was done only in ocean-P)
1358    o sort out interplay between tamc.h and PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h
1359      (need info on NUMBER_OF_PTRACERS)
1360    o missing PTRACERS headers in some routines
1361    o default tamc.h in pkg/autodiff supposed to crash
1362      to ensure proper customization
1363    
1364    checkpoint52a_post
1365    o modifications to make FREEZE (_SURFACE) flux visible to pkg/kpp
1366      - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code
1367      - subroutine FREEZE_SURFACE now limits only surface temperature
1368        and is called in FORWARD_STEP (if allowFreezing=.TRUE.)
1369        => new output.txt for global_ocean.cs32x15 & global_with_exf
1370      - keep the old version of FREEZE for backward compatibility;
1371        global_ocean.90x40x15 left unchanged using useOldFreezing=.TRUE.
1372      - corresponding modifs for TAF directives
1373    o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS
1374    o time-averaged output for pkg/ptracers
1375    o fix problem with ECCO-related divided adjoint
1376      snapshot file was missing some ad-variables,
1377      but no warning issued by TAF
1378    
1379    checkpoint52a_pre
1380    o some bug fixes for #undef REAL4_IS_SLOW
1381    
1382    checkpoint52 = ecco_c52_e35
1383    o after testing adjoints of checkpoint51u_post
1384    
1385    checkpoint51u_post
1386    o this is the post-merge tag of the ecco-branch
1387      (needs another clean checkout and re-testing)
1388    o various natl_box_adjoint configs and results
1389      but no input fields
1390    o obcs adjoint not yet merged!
1391    o adding ECCO global 1x1 and 2x2 degree configs
1392    o updated/extended some store directives for seaice
1393    o pkg/ecco now containes ecco-specific part of cost function
1394    o top level routines the_main_loop, forward_step
1395      supersede those in model/src/
1396      previous input data.cost now in data.ecco
1397      (new namelist ecco_cost_nml)
1398    o in ctrl/ cleaned some cross-dependencies and updated CPP options
1399    
1400    checkpoint51t_post
1401    o this is the pre-merge tag of the ecco-branch
1402    
1403    checkpoint51s_post
1404    o cleanup: removed various obsolete #define-s
1405    o pkg/grdchk
1406      - renamed 'ph-grd 3' to 'grad-res'
1407      - merged from ecco-branch
1408        (remaining bug fixes for obcs gradient checks)
1409      - additional high-precision output for testreport
1410        (grep for 'precision_grdchk_result')
1411    
1412    checkpoint51r_post
1413    o cleaned up or removed CPP_OPTIONS.h files
1414    o updated results for some of the tests to reflect the new
1415      optfiles (-ieee: -O0 instead of -O3)
1416    
1417    checkpoint51q_post
1418    o cd_code:
1419      - moved cd_scheme.F -> cd_code_scheme.F
1420      - separate read_checkpoint from cd_code_ini_vars.F
1421      - separated cd_code part from write_checkpoint
1422      - updated AD_SOURCE, generated .flow
1423      - added CD_CODE_VARS.h to the_main_loop
1424      - Moving cd_code specific store dir.s to pkg/cd_code
1425    o ctrl package totally restructured
1426      - pack/unpack now optional and decoupled from
1427        xx_/adxx_ I/O
1428      - ctrl_pack/unpack cleaned
1429        (new routines ctrl_init_ctrlvar.F, pkg/ctrl/ctrl_init_wet.F)
1430      - confined inclusion of AD_CONFIG.h to where necessary.
1431    o genmake2: changed AD dependencies from SRCFILES to AD_FILES
1432    
1433    checkpoint51p_post
1434    o create initial cd_code package
1435      - WARNING: the initialization of fields within packages
1436        is broken because INI_FIELDS (where READ_CHECKPOINT is
1437        called) is called *before* PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES.
1438        This seems to be backwards since
1439        1) its important to initially zero the entire field including
1440           the "halo" region
1441        2) zeroing needs to be done *before* reading pickup info
1442           and the pickup call might or might not happen in any
1443           particular run
1444      - this needs an overhaul for R2
1445    o cleanup verification/*/code/GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
1446    o cleanup testreport
1447    
1448    checkpoint51o_post
1449    o bringing AD-related verif's up to date with genmake2
1450      - carbon/
1451      - global_ocean.90x40x15/
1452      - hs.94.1x64x5/
1453      - (front_relax/ )
1454    o (more) consistent directory structure for AD-related verif.'s
1455    o cleaning ALLOW_GRADIENT_CHECK -> ALLOW_GRDCHK
1456    o cleaning some ALLOW_TANGENTLINEAR_RUN -> ALLOW_AUTODIFF
1457    o bug fix in find_alpha.F for MDJWF:
1458      - modif. to alpha = 1/D*( dN/dT - rho*dD/Dt) to account for
1459        change rho -> rho-rhoConst
1460      - replace call find_rho to find_rhonum
1461    o initialisation of rFlx extended to full array (required by TAF)
1462      and shifted to thermodynamics
1463    o removed PTRACERS.h in ptracers routine
1464    o added surfacetendencyPtr to S/R parameter list pracers_forcing
1465    o Correcting initialisations for fVerU, fVerV.
1466    o helping TAF to recognize dependency on kUp for
1467      fVerU, fVerV
1468    o Replacing delZ by delR in pkg/ctrl/
1469    checkpoint51o_pre
1470    
1471    o undid all of cp51 pending some cleanups and discussion
1472    o added the [#include "AD_CONFIG.h"] statement to all files that need
1473       it for adjoint/tl #defines
1474     o re-worked the build logic in genmake2 to support AD_CONFIG.h
1475     o removed tools/genmake since it no longer works
1476    
1477    checkpoint51n_post
1478    o modifications to make FREEZE flux visible to pkg/kpp
1479      - moved surfaceTendencyTice from pkg/seaice to main code
1480      - FREEZE & EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF moved to FORWARD_STEP
1481      - subroutine FREEZE now limits only surface temperature
1482        (this means new output.txt for global_ocean.90x40x15,
1483         global_ocean.cs32x15, and global_with_exf)
1484    o added surface flux output variables to TIMEAVE_STATVARS
1485    
1486    checkpoint51n_pre
1487    o added "#undef ALLOW_USE_MPI" support to eesupp/src/gather_2d.F
1488    o added [#include "AD_CONFIG.h"] to all files that use the following
1489      defines:
1490      - ALLOW_ADJOINT_RUN
1491      - ALLOW_TANGENTLINEAR_RUN
1492      - ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
1493    
1494    checkpoint51m_post
1495    o incorporating changes to get TAMC/TAF working in genmake2
1496      - added new TAMC/TAF targets to the Makefile

1610      - debLevA: standard
1611      - debLevB: equivalent to current debugMode=.TRUE.
1612    o introducing pathname variable mdsioLocalDir for mdsio
1613      that can be specified at runtime
1614      (relevant for cluster I/O to local disk)
1615    `
1616    >>>checkpoint51b_post
1617    adjoint of ptracers
1618    o disentangled ALLOW_PTRACERS using new ALLOW_GCHEM
1619    o extended state in checkpoint_lev?, etc.
1620    o alternative ctrl/cost with tr1 or ptracer
1621    o new comlev1_bibj_ptracers
1622    o new ptracers.flow
1623    o made ptracers_forcing same as external_forcing_s
1624    o added verification for adjoint with ptracers
1625      - adm. grdchk fail so far
1626      - tlm. grdchk OK
1627      - checked tapelev/comlev recomputations: OK
1628    <<<checkpoint51b_pre
1629    
1630    checkpoint51a_post

1636    
1637    checkpoint51
1638    o merged improved packages from ecco-branch (ecco_c51_e34) to MAIN
1639      - autodiff, ctrl, exf, grdchk, seaice
1640      kept separate packages
1641      - cost, ecco, obcs
1642    o updating verification/internal_wave, verification/lab_sea
1643      (all verif's pass on faulks.lcs.mit.edu RH7.3, g77)
1644    
1645    checkpoint50i_post
1646    o Preparing next differentiable checkpoint and sync
1647      of MAIN vs. ecco-branch
1648      - 1st step: this one is differentiable
1649      - 2nd step: next(! not this) checkpoint will have updated packages
1650                  from ecco-branch)
1651    
1652    checkpoint50h_post
1653    o new package "land": provide surface BC for AIM.
1654    o pkg/ptracers: apply exchange to all tracers after reading a pickup.
1655    o AIM: use true log-P extrapolation for near surface temp (= as in
1656        F.Molteni paper) ; update aim.5l_cs output.
1657    o New variable in PARM03 for more flexible pickups
1658    o somewhat cleaned package initialisation sequence for
1659      ctrl/ cost/ ecco/ in packages_... routines
1660    
1661    checkpoint50g_post
1662    o merged with release1_p17 (pkg/seaice and verification/lab_sea)
1663      - added SEAICE_MULTILEVEL for 8-category sea-ice thermodynamics
1664      - LSR sea-ice dynamic solver moved to SouthWest B-grid location and
1665        made the default because of faster convergence than ADI
1666    
1667    checkpoint50f_post
1668    o exf totally restructured
1669      - replaced all exf_set_ routines by one generic exf_set_gen.F
1670        and made sure it's still differentiable
1671      - split exf_getffields.F into new exf_bulkformulae.F
1672      - exf_inscal_/exf_outscal_ suffixes consistent with field names
1673      - updated adjoint/makefile and relevant verif. accordingly
1674    
1675    checkpoint50f_pre

1684    
1685    checkpoint50e_post
1686    o make KPP work with PTRACERS
1687     - fix gad_calc_rhs to call new routine kpp_transport_ptr, which is
1688       nearly a copy of kpp_transport_s
1689     - there is no analogue to SurfaceTendencyS, so I have to use
1690       gPtr(of the surface layer) instead
1691    o add a new platform SunFire+mpi (SunFire 15000) to genmake
1692    checkpoint50e_pre
1693    
1694    checkpoint50d_post
1695    o change kpp output from multiple-record state files to single-record state
1696      files analogous to write_state.F
1697    o reduce the output frequency of cg3d-related stuff to the monitor frequency,
1698      analogous to the cg2d-related output.
1699    o fix small problem with in ptracers_write_checkpoint.F: len(suff)=512,
1700      so that writing to internal file fn (with length 512) fails.
1701    checkpoint50d_pre
1702    
1703    checkpoint50c_post
1704    o fix problem in ini_procs.F when using MPI (was there since checkpoint48f)
1705    o add monitor diagnostic of vorticity (mon_vort3.F) and potential energy.
1706    o add time-average diagnostic of U*V and vertical diffusive flux for theta.
1707    o bug fixed in convective adjustment diagnostic (multi-tile set-up).
1708    o 4th Order Adv scheme: return to previous (c40pre7) masking near boundaries.
1709    
1710    checkpoint50c_pre
1711    Merging from release1_p13:
1712    o bug fix for pkg/seaice dynamic solver
1713    o Added SEAICE_initialHEFF to pkg/seaice
1714    
1715    checkpoint50b_post
1716    o store u*,v* in gU,V instead of in guNm1,gvNm1
1717    o in order to put the momForcing out of the Adams-Bashforth:
1718      move forcing & CD-scheme calls from mom_fluxform & mom_vecinv
1719      to timestep.F
1720    o new flag "useCDscheme" (default=F); replace guCD,gvCD by local arrays
1721    o re-generate output for highly sensitive test-exp:
1722       global_ocean_pressure, ideal_2D_oce, lab_sea, natl_box
1723    
1724    checkpoint50b_pre
1725    o restore the use of momAdvection & useCoriolis flags (mom_vecinv)
1726    o corrected CPP option mismatch in exf_Bulk... functions for case
1727      #define ALLOW_ATM_WIND && #undef ALLOW_ATM_TEMP
1728    
1729    checkpoint50a_post
1730    o Bug fix for merging between c50 and KPP.
1731      ikey was passed from thermodynamics to kpp_calc via
1732      common block rather than being recomputed in kpp_calc,
1733      in contradiction with new key itdkey.
1734      New key ikppkey created, and tamc.h headers updated.
1735    
1736    checkpoint50
1737    - 2nd step of merge with ecco-branch:
1738      merge changes in ecco-branch back into main trunk
1739    - bug fix in find_alpha
1740    - more storing in gmredi_calc_tensor.F, kpp_routines.F
1741    - avoid iterative loop in ini_pressure for ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
1742    - merged some sliced AD support routines
1743    
1744    checkpoint49
1745    merged from ecco-branch:
1746    o exf:
1747      - Enable initialisation of forcing fields to constant
1748        (runtime) values.
1749      - in exf_getffields.F
1750        Reduce i-/j-loop to interior domain, discarding overlaps.
1751        That also fixes wrong TAF-key computations for key_1, key_2
1752        with bulf formulae.
1753      - exf_init.F modify #ifdef for exf_init_evap
1754      - exf_getffieldrec.F, ctrl_getrec.F
1755        The following INT-usages are not safe:
1756          fldsecs  = int(fldsecs/fldperiod)*fldperiod
1757          fldcount = int(fldsecs/fldperiod) + 1
1758        and were modified.
1759    o autodiff: checkpoint_lev...
1760      - updated storing for bulk formulae (some arrays were missing)
1761      - added state for seaice package
1762      - synchronized with main branch
1763    o DIVA:
1764      Modif.s in
1765      - the_main_loop.F
1766      - the_model_main.F
1767      and added cost_final_restore.F cost_final_store.F
1768      o With these changes, it is possible to fully separate
1769        the first forward run to compute the cost function (mdthe_main_loop)
1770        and adjoint runs over individual DIVA intervals (adthe_main_loop)
1771        into separate model executions.
1772        This enables better tuning of DIVA to given queue sizes.
1773      o Loss of cost function value in consecutive DIVA runs is
1774        fixed by storing to 'costfinal' file.
1775      o Appropriate call of ctrl_unpack/_pack,grdchk_main at
1776        beginning/end of adjoint integration is accounted for.
1777      The current changes apply to TAF-1.4.26.
1778      TAF has one remaining bug, requiring one manual change
1779      (see MITgcm manual).
1780    o cal: synchronized between MAIN and ecco-branch
1781    
1782    checkpoint48i_post
1783    o Changes to restore differentiability of code w.r.t. previous tag
1784      (mostly adding new routines to make list and replacing
1785      pressure by totPhiHyd).
1786    o Updated and merged grdchk package
1787      - has both ADM and TLM checks
1788      - works for single- and multi-proc.
1789      - output cleaned
1790      - worked successfully for parallel DIVA
1791    o genmake:
1792      - Adding -platform=SP4
1793      - Modif. for DEC Alpha (many don't have makedepend; use mkdep instead).
1794    o Modif. for DIVA:
1795      ctrl_unpack should not be called in intermediate DIVA interval.
1796      (similar thing would apply for active files such as
1797      tbar, sbar, psbar, which should not be reinitialised;
1798      only relevant for ecco-branch)
1799    
1800    checkpoint48h_post
1801    o improve "ini_p_ground" when using finite difference form for calc_phi_hyd
1802    o Added net flux to downward flux conversion to pkg/exf/exf_getffields.F
1803    o Added SEAICE_initialHEFF to pkg/seaice
1804    o ecco_the_model_main.F: SEAICE_WRITE_PICKUP must precede WRITE_CHECKPOINT
1805    
1806    checkpoint48g_post
1807    --- EOS:
1808    o compute locally the pressure for use in EOS: UNESCO, JMD95P, MDJWF
1809      store total Potential in totPhyHyd for diagnostics & EOS.
1810    o fix restart and overlap Pb when using Z-coord and EOS funct. of P
1811    --- Pressure/geopotential gradient:
1812    o use Ro_surf & R_low instead of hFac in cal_phi_hyd:
1813    o NLFS + p-coord.: eta*Alpha' is not longer lagging 1.time-step behind
1814      ( changes results of global_ocean_pressure )
1815    o NLFS + z-coord.: add eta*Rho' contribution.
1816    o accurate phiHyd when using interface-W at the middle between 2 centers
1817     ( changes results of ideal_2D_oce )
1818    o includes r* 2nd term in potential gradient.
1819    
1820    checkpoint48f_post
1821    Merging from release1_p12:

1828      (SBO) core products, including oceanic mass, center-of-mass,
1829      angular, and bottom pressure (see pkg/sbo/README.sbo).
1830    o Lower bound for viscosity/diffusivity in pkg/kpp/kpp_routines.F
1831      to avoid negative values in shallow regions.
1832      - updated verification/natl_box/results/output.txt
1833      - updated verification/lab_sea/results/output.txt
1834    o MPI gather, scatter: eesupp/src/gather_2d.F and scatter_2d.F
1835    o Added useSingleCpuIO option (see PARAMS.h).
1836    o Updated useSingleCpuIO option in mdsio_writefield.F to
1837      work with multi-field files, e.g., for single-file pickup.
1838    o pkg/seaice:
1839      - bug fix in growth.F: QNET for no shortwave case

1847    
1848    checkpoint48e_post
1849    o New S/R for diagnostic of bottom pressure (phi0surf was missing in c48d_post)
1850    o dynamics: change definition of computational domain & adapt mom_fluxform
1851      accordingly ; when viscA4=0, allows to run the dynamics with Olx=Oly=2.
1852    o following exp works with Olx=Oly=2 (and pass through checkbounds option):
1853        adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 adjustment.128x64x1 adjustment.cs-32x32x1
1854        exp0 exp1 exp2 exp4 exp5 hs94.cs-32x32x5 hs94.128x64x5 hs94.1x64x5
1855        global_ocean.90x40x15 global_with_exf global_ocean_pressure
1856        inverted_barometer solid-body.cs-32x32x1
1857      (high order AdvScheme and/or multiDimAd works with Olx=Oly=2 ? not sure)
1858    
1859    checkpoint48d_post
1860    o in preparation for r*:
1861     a) use pre-computed gradient of hydrostatic potential:
1862        changes in timestep.F & mom_cdscheme.F affects results of ideal_2D_oce
1863     b) move phi0surf from calc_phi_hyd to calc_grad_phi_hyd:
1864        => affects results of glob_oce_pressure (different truncation error)  
1865      update output.txt of ideal_2D_oce & global_ocean_pressure
1866    
1867    checkpoint48d_pre
1868    o in preparation for r*:
1869      new S/R (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F) to compute Hydrostatic potential gradient.
1870      pass the 2 comp. of the grad. as arguments to momentum S/R.
1871      but for the moment, only used if it does not change the results.
1872    o add finite volume form of calc_phi_hyd for buoyancyRelation OCEANIC & OCEANICP
1873    
1874    checkpoint48c_post
1875    Modifications in treatment of initial flux forcing controls
1876    to avoid extra storing of flux fields.
1877    
1878    checkpoint48c_pre
1879    o Added tidal_basin_2d experiment (currently 1D!)
1880    o can use r* Coordinate with OBC (but Orlanski Rad. BC not yet implemented)
1881    
1882    checkpoint48b_post
1883    o r* coordinate added in #ifdef NONLIN_FRSURF block.
1884     (modification to pressure gradient not yet implemented)
1885    o mom_fluxform: new S/R mom_calc_rtrans.F computes vertical transports
1886      (for U & V) that are used for vertical advection of momentum.
1887    
1888    checkpoint48a_post
1889    o In preparation for r*, use temp. array to compute vertical transport
1890       in flux-form momentum pkg. => change results of few test-exp.
1891      Update output of: exp4, exp5, front_relax, global_ocean_pressure,
1892                        lab_sea, natl_box & plume_on_slope
1893    
1894    checkpoint48
1895    o fix small bug that was causing lot of warning (TIMER_STOP 'UPDATE_CG2D')
1896    
1897    checkpoint47j_post
1898    o add new exp. (ideal_2D_oce) to test "exotic" parameters and options.
1899    o moved adexch from forward_step to addummy_in_stepping
1900    o added exch in ctrl_map_...
1901    o aveFreq.=0. at end of cost_final to avoid overwrite in
1902      reverse checkpointing loop
1903    o Yet more changes in gmredi:
1904      * adgmredi_calc_tensor
1905        avoiding all recomputation of gmredi_slope_limit
1906      * adgmredi_x/y/rtransport
1907        added flag for excessive storing to avoid recomp. of
1908        u/v/rtans, dTdx/y/z
1909        -> this is not really necessary and very memory-consuming
1910      * adgmredi_slope_psi:
1911        consistency with gmredi_slope_limit in treatment of GM_slopeSqCutoff
1912      * gmredi_slope_limit
1913        re-activated full calculation of taperfct for case 'ac02'
1914    o updating verification/ adjoints of carbon, global_ocean.90x40x15
1915    
1916    checkpoint47i_post
1917    o GM_EXCLUDE_() replace GM_TAPER_(): by default, all the code is compiled.
1918    o add GM_Small_Number & GM_slopeSqCutoff as run-time parameters (data.gmredi)
1919      default values = 1.D-12 & 1.D+48 (=> give same results as checkpoint47f_post)
1920    o cg2dTargetResWunit: define tolerance using deltaTmom (and not deltaTfreesurf)
1921    o gmredi: fix few bugs.
1922    
1923    checkpoint47h_post (duplicate tag for PH's c48 tag, in order to move c48)
1924    This will be a good checkpoint to plug into the ecco-branch.
1925    o few modif.'s to get latest version adjointed
1926      (mainly kick out code in ini_linear_phisurf)
1927    o modif's to run adjoint with exactConserv
1928    o case GM_BOLUS_ADVEC should be cleaned
1929      S/R gmredi_slope_psi should be cleaned
1930    o verification/carbon now has exactConserv=.TRUE.
1931    
1932    checkpoint47g_post
1933    o time-average AIM output: becomes independent from statvars time-average
1934      (can be used with #undef ALLOW_TIMEAVE) ; add new variables (e.g., RH)
1935    o After TAF bug fix:
1936      Tested adjoint of gmredi package.
1937      Tests were done with checkpoint47 rather than with latest
1938      checkpoint47f_post since the latter is broken for the adjoint
1939      verification/carbon/ contains both ADM and TLM gradient checks.
1940    Here they are, before they get changed/lost/stolen.
1941    Mostly modif.'s to fix numerical sensitivities.
1942    Gradient checks OK for
1943    - GM_taper_scheme:
1944      * clipping
1945      * ac02
1946      * linear
1947      * glw91
1948      * dm95
1949      * ldd97
1950    - GMREDI_OPTIONS:
1951      * GM_VISBECK_VARIABLE_K
1952      * GM_NON_UNITY_DIAGONAL
1953      * GM_EXTRA_DIAGONAL
1954      * GM_BOLUS_ADVEC
1955    in conjunction with data.gmredi parameters to be checked in
1956    in a few minutes under verification/carbon/code/
1957    
1958    checkpoint47f_post
1959    Merging from release1_p10:
1960    o modifications for using pkg/exf with pkg/seaice
1961      - pkg/seaice CPP options SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING
1962        and SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES
1963      - pkg/exf CPP options EXF_READ_EVAP and
1964        EXF_NO_BULK_COMPUTATIONS
1965      - usage examples are Experiments 8 and 9 in
1966        verification/lab_sea/README
1967      - verification/lab_sea default experiment now uses
1968        pkg/gmredi, pkg/kpp, pkg/seaice, and pkg/exf
1969    
1970    checkpoint47e_post
1971    o created a tag prior to creating a branch
1972    
1973    checkpoint47d_post
1974    o fixed bug in the oceanic pressure coordinates code: vertical viscosity
1975      at the bottom boundary had an erroneous half slip boundary condition
1976    o added bottom drag and no slip boundary condition capabilities to
1977      oceanic pressure coordinates code
1978    o added new verification experiment global_ocean_pressure, this experiment is
1979      also described in the tutorial section of the manual
1980    checkpoint47d_pre
1981    
1982    checkpoint47c_post
1983    o Added a verification experiment for a global cubed-sphere ocean run
1984      -  verification/global_ocean.cubed32x32x30
1985      -  uses pkg/therm_seaice and pkg/bulk_forcing
1986    
1987    o allow to run AIM physics with SPEEDY input files (from Franco Molteni)
1988    o allow a more accurate definition of Ro_Surf (selectFindRoSurf=1)
1989      when using P-coordinate; only implemented for atmospheric config.
1990    o OCEANICP & realFreshWater: include P-E direct effect on wVel ;
1991      NOTES: requires option NONLIN_FRSURF to be "#define".
1992    o update advect_xz/results/output.txt (left from checkpoint44g_post)
1993    
1994    checkpoint47b_post
1995    Merging from release1_p9:
1996    o pkg/seaice
1997      - removed GOTO's and added taf directives
1998      - double precision constants to reduce the g77 (Linux)
1999        to F77 (SGI) differences reported in release1_p8
2000    o tools/genmake
2001      - added SGI options
2002    o verification/testscript
2003      - updated to that of checkpoint47a_post
2004    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/input/eedata
2005      - modified for SGI f77 compatibility
2006    o verification/lab_sea
2007      - added description of sea-ice model
2008      - added missing matlab routines
2009      - added test of thermodynamics parallelization
2010    
2011    checkpoint47a_post
2012    o new pkg: aim_v23
2013     = F. Molteni atmos.physics (SPEEDY, ver23) adapted to MITgcm.
2014       for now, keep the same surface forcing as before.
2015     - Part-Cell implemented into AIM; check that Heat & Water are conserved
2016     - aim.5l_cs: use new aim pkg (run 10yr & get better results than before)
2017     - aim.5l_LatLon & aim.5l_Equatorial_Channel are still using old aim pkg
2018    o add diagnostic of surface correction term in monitor output
2019    
2020    o bulk_force and therm_seaice
2021    - Two packages:  bulk_force (Bulk forcing)
2022      and therm_seaice (thermodynamic_seaice) - adopted from LANL CICE.v2.0.2
2023    - Earlier integration from Stephaine Dutkiewicz
2024      and Patrick Heimbach.
2025    - Two ifdef statements for compile time,
2026       ALLOW_THERM_SEAICE and ALLOW_BULK_FORCE
2027    
2028    checkpoint47
2029    differentiable version of checkpoint46n_post
2030    o bug fix in quasihydrostaticterms
2031    o * "clean" adjoint code (in terms of extensive recomputations)
2032        can now be obtained for all GMREDI options (i.e. for
2033        - GM_VISBECK_VARIABLE_K
2034        - GM_NON_UNITY_DIAGONAL
2035        - GM_EXTRA_DIAGONAL
2036        - GM_BOLUS_ADVEC )
2037      * However, wrong gradient check problem remains unsolved.
2038      * New CPP options have been introduced for different
2039        tapering schemes
2040    o external_fields_load now part of differentiation list
2041    o pressure needs multiple storing;
2042      would be nice to have store_pressure at beginning or
2043      end of forward_step, e.g. by having phiHyd global (5-dim.)
2044      (NB: pressure is needed for certain cases in find_rho,
2045      which is also invoked through convective_adjustment).
2046    o recomputations in find_rho for cases
2047     'JMD95'/'UNESCO' or 'MDJWF' are OK.
2048    o #define ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING should be differentiable
2049    o ini_forcing shifted to begining of initialise_varia
2050    o Incorporating QNVS line search routines into MITgcm
2051      (this is separate code, and therefore not under pkg)
2052      lsopt/, optim/
2053    o Updated verification/carbon/
2054      - #define GM_VISBECK_VARIABLE_K
2055      - GM_taper_scheme    = 'ldd97'    
2056    
2057    checkpoint46n_post
2058    Merging from release1_p8:
2059    o verification/natl_box:
2060      updating new external_fields_load routine
2061    o New package: pkg/seaice
2062      Sea ice model by D. Menemenlis (JPL) and Jinlun Zhang (Seattle).
2063      The sea-ice code is based on Hibler (1979-1980).
2064      Two sea-ice dynamic solvers, ADI and LSR, are included.
2065      In addition to computing prognostic sea-ice variables and diagnosing
2066      the forcing/external data fields that drive the ocean model,
2067      SEAICE_MODEL also sets theta to the freezing point under sea-ice.
2068      The implied surface heat flux is then stored in variable
2069      surfaceTendencyTice, which is needed by KPP package (kpp_calc.F and
2070      kpp_transport_t.F) to diagnose surface buoyancy fluxes and for the
2071      non-local transport term.  Because this call precedes model
2072      thermodynamics, temperature under sea-ice may not be "exactly" at
2073      the freezing point by the time theta is dumped or time-averaged.
2074      N.B.: fairly large differences in accuracy occur across
2075            different platforms/compilers; comparison between
2076            g77 (Linux) and F77 (SGI Origin 2000/MIPSpro)
2077            generated output gives:
2078       T           S           U           V
2079      C D M    c        m  s        m  s        m  s        m  s
2080      n p a R  g  m  m  e  .  m  m  e  .  m  m  e  .  m  m  e  .
2081      f n k u  2  i  a  a  d  i  a  a  d  i  a  a  d  i  a  a  d
2082      g d e n  d  n  x  n  .  n  x  n  .  n  x  n  .  n  x  n  .
2083    
2084      Y Y Y Y  5  5  7  7  7  8 10  9  6  6  6  6  7  5  7  5  7 FAIL  lab_sea
2085    o GAD:
2086      - generated new common blocks to account for call of
2087        same gad routines with differing traceridentities
2088        (needed to modify tracerIdentity indices in GAD.h)
2089      - generated separate common blocks for case useCubedSphereExchange
2090        (Department of Futurology)
2091      - parameter lists to gmredi_?transport: added tracerIdentity
2092      - added new key indices to tamc.h
2093    o external_fields_load:
2094      - added this routine to TAF list
2095      - needed to make some common blocks global and additional storing
2096        along the same lines as exf package (checkpoint_lev?_directives.h)
2097    o exf:
2098      updated external forcing package
2099      - bug fixes carried over from ecco-branch
2100        (missing OBCS_OPTIONS.h in two routines)
2101      - enable easy to use "no forcing".
2102      - added exf I/O for atmospheric loading
2103      - added exf I/O for runoff data
2104      - transfered scaling between exf <-> MITgcm to exf namelist
2105    o Adding new verification experiment global_with_exf.
2106      This verification experiment is almost identical to the
2107      global_ocean.90x40x15 experiment, except that it uses
2108      the exf (and cal) package instead of the
2109      external_fields_load routine (cf README file).
2110    
2111    checkpoint46m_post
2112    o modified testscript to return -- when there are no lines of "%MON" output
2113    o added new flag "quasiHydrostatic" for QH mode
2114      and new routine quasihydrostaticterms()
2115    o added 2*Omega*Cos(phi)*W to u equations (non-hydrostatic Coriolis term)
2116      New routine: mom_u_coriolis_nh()
2117    o fixed sign of non-hydrostatic metric terms in u and v equations.
2118      Depend on correct sign of gravitySign.
2119    o added work.pc* to .cvsignore in aim directories using ifc
2120    o introduced flag for controllin non-hydrostatic metric terms
2121    o removed gravitySign from PARM04
2122    o switched to g77/ifc from pgf77 in aim experiments
2123    
2124    checkpoint46l_post
2125    o made convective adjustment work with pressure coordinates:
2126     - changed the direction of k-loop in convective_adjustment.F for the
2127       case of pressure coordinates (OCEANICP,ATMOSPHERIC buoyancyRelation)
2128     - adjusted the reference pressure k-index in convective_adjustment.F
2129     - adjusted the convection condition in convect.F (in analogy to
2130       calc_ivdc.F)
2131     - convective_adjustment no longer computes anything on the halos
2132     - removed the warnings about negative salinity from find_rho.F and
2133       find_alpha.F; instead the new routine look_for_neg_salinity, called
2134       at the beginning of find_rho, find_alpha, and find_beta, does a
2135       check of the entire slice, if CPP-option
2136       CHECK_SALINITY_FOR_NEGATIVE_VALUES is defined
2137    checkpoint46l_pre
2138    
2139    checkpoint46k_post
2140    o fixed the verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 experiment:
2141     - new bathymetry (the world according to A., JMC, and M.)
2142     - new initial fields and forcing fields (*.bin files)
2143     - new POLY3.COEFFS (for the next release one should switch to a full
2144       equation of state: JMD95P or MDJWF)
2145     - fixed several errors and redundancies in the data file
2146     - experiment uses looped cells
2147     - added matlab directory with diagnostic scripts for plotting of output
2148    
2149    o S/R aim_initialise.F replace S/R aim_init from file aim_do_inphys.F:
2150     - read AIM physics parameters from a file (data.aimphys)
2151     - set defaults values = F.Molteni paper (Clim.Dyn., 2002)
2152    
2153    checkpoint46j_post
2154    o split calc_exact_eta in 2 S/R : integr_continuity & update_etaH
2155    o move wVel computation at the end of the time step, in S/R integr_continuity
2156    o create specific S/R to exchange T,S before DYNAMICS (for stagger time step)
2157    o update timeave pkg for wVel diagnostic.
2158    checkpoint46j_pre
2159    
2160    checkpoint46i_post
2161    o Clean up AIM package (and keep the results unchanged):
2162      include CPP_OPTION and use IMPLICT NONE in all routines ;
2163      declare all the variables _RL ; use _d 0 for all numerical constants.
2164      use ifdef ALLOW_AIM everywhere. And now AIM can be used with g77 !
2165    
2166    checkpoint46h_post
2167    o cleaned up the use of rhoNil and rhoConst.
2168      - rhoNil should only appear in the LINEAR equation of state, everywhere
2169        else rhoNil is replaced by rhoConst, e.g. find_rho computes rho-rhoConst
2170        and the dynamical equations are all divided by rhoConst
2171    o introduced new parameter rhoConstFresh, a reference density of fresh
2172      water, to remove the fresh water flux's dependence on rhoNil. The default
2173      value is 999.8 kg/m^3
2174    o cleanup up external_forcing.F and external_forcing_surf.F
2175      - can now be used by both OCEANIC and OCEANICP
2176    checkpoint46h_pre
2177    
2178     Added code to convert surface volume flux (fresh water) into
2179     a mass flux when using P coordinates in the ocean (OCEANICP).
2180     Note: It assumes you have set rho0=rhoConst=density of fresh water.
2181    
2182    checkpoint46g_post
2183    o Include a new diagnostic variable phiHydLow for the ocean model
2184      - in z-coordinates, it is the bottom pressure anomaly
2185      - in p-coordinates, it is the sea surface elevation
2186      - in both cases, these variable have global drift, reflecting the mass
2187        drift in z-coordinates and the volume drift in p-coordinates
2188      - included time averaging for phiHydLow, be aware of the drift!
2189    o depth-dependent computation of Bo_surf for pressure coordinates
2190      in the ocean (buoyancyRelation='OCEANICP')
2191      - requires a new routine (FIND_RHO_SCALAR) to compute density with only
2192        Theta, Salinity, and Pressure in the parameter list. This routine is
2193        presently contained in find_rho.F. This routine does not give the
2194        correct density for 'POLY3', which would be a z-dependent reference
2195        density.
2196    o cleaned up find_rho
2197      - removed obsolete 'eqn' from the parameter list.
2198    o added two new verification experiments: gop and goz
2199      (4x4 degree global ocean, 15 layers in pressure and height coordinates)
2200    checkpoint46g_pre
2201    
2202    checkpoint46f_post
2203    o Enable tangent linear (forward mode) gradient checks:
2204      - extended active file handling to g_... files
2205      - added TANGENT_SIMULATION to theSimulationMode
2206      - extended grdchk package accordingly
2207    o added tangent linear setup in verification/carbon/code_ftl
2208    o added adjoint setup in verification/front_relax/code_ad
2209    
2210    checkpoint46e_post
2211    o Added new equation of state -> MDJWF
2212      - EOS of McDougall et al., 2002, JAOT, submitted
2213      - caveat: the equation of state is only valid for a smaller (more
2214        realistic?) range of values than JMD95P/Z and UNESCO
2215      - added masks to the calculation of pressure in store_pressure
2216      - added more check values for density in check_eos (ini_eos.F), some of
2217        the old check values are out of the range of the MDJWF-eos, so don't
2218        expect perfect matches for those
2219    checkpoint46e_pre
2220    
2221    checkpoint46d_post
2222    o fixed store_pressure to work with both buoyancy relation = 'OCEANIC' and
2223      'OCEANICP', also initialised field pressure correctly in ini_eos in the
2224      case of pressure coordinates. eosType='JMD95Z' in
2225      combination with buoyancyRelation='OCEANICP' now causes an error.
2226    o Changed p = pressure(i,j,k,bi,bj)  to  p = pressure(i,j,kRef,bi,bj)
2227      in find_alpha/beta.
2228    checkpoint46d_pre
2229    
2230    o Changed p = pressure(i,j,k,bi,bj)  to  p = pressure(i,j,kRef,bi,bj)
2231      so that JMD95Z and JMD95P give approptiate static stability in find_rho.
2232    
2233    checkpoint46c_post
2234    o Changes necessary for ocean in p-coordinates
2235     -  Added new buoyancy relation = 'OCEANICP'
2236     -  Added new parameters = gravitySign (this used to be contained inside
2237        the factor dRdZ which I added when we first switched to R coordinates).
2238     X GM/Redi is not compatible (yet)
2239     X bottom drag and no-slip need to be debugged.
2240    checkpoint46c_pre
2241    
2242    checkpoint46b_post
2243    o Added new equation of state -> JMD95Z and JMD95P
2244      - EOS of Jackett and McDougall, 1995, JAOT
2245      - moved all EOS parameters into EOS.h
2246      - new routines ini_eos.F, store_pressure.F
2247    o Added UNESCO EOS, but not recommended because it requires
2248      in-situ temperature (see JMD95)
2249    o Modified formatting for knudsen2.f in utils/knudsen2 and added
2250      unesco.f to be used with POLY3
2251    checkpoint46b_pre
2252    
2253    checkpoint46a_post
2254    o Added (atmospheric) pressure loading
2255      - new field in FFIELDS.h, etc...
2256      - new cpp flag ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING
2257    o Changed hFacC to _hFacC in calc_phi_hyd.F
2258    o Added SHORTWAVE_HEATING to some files for consistency
2259    checkpoint46a_pre
2260    
2261    checkpoint46
2262    further merges from release1_p5
2263    o new ctrl package
2264      - adopted from ECCO environment to enable optimization
2265      - added Eliassen Palm fluxes to controls
2266    o added Eliassen Palm flux controls to gradient check package
2267    o cost package
2268      - Compatible with new ctrl package
2269      - added Eliassen Palm cost hooks
2270      - modif's of existing cost functions
2271    o Adjoint-related bug fixes in kpp:
2272      - kpp_calc: sore of kpphbl avoids recomputation/call to S/R kppmix
2273      - kpp_routines: store of Rib avoids partial recomputation bug of TAF.
2274    o autodiff package
2275      - flow directives:
2276        + new for S/R do_the_model_io
2277        + enhanced for S/R checkpoint
2278        + new gmredi.flow
2279      - Introduced CPP option ALLOW_AUTODIFF_MONITOR to
2280        disable adcommon.h/g_common.h by default.
2281      - fixed problem for adjoint of global_max
2282    o modified verification/carbon/
2283    o New setup for adjoint of global_ocean
2284    o added hooks for Eliassen Palm fluxes (dynamics.F, ini_fields.F)

2316      (TAF flow dependency)
2317    o in initialise_varia, moved call packages_init_variables
2318      before convective_adjustment_init
2319      (corresponding adjustment of TAF tape initialisation).
2320    o in calc_diffusivity/calc_viscosity extended domain to full overlap.
2321    
2322    checkpoint45a_post
2323    o compute Rho over the whole domain (extend iMin,jMin indices)
2324    o specific exchange for X-slice domain (case Ny=1)
2325    o argument futureIter of S/R obcs_calc missing in exp4 & internal_wave /code
2326    o solve_for_pressure : set cg2d_x to zero where OBCS are applied

2347    
2348    checkpoint44g_post
2349    o fix surface correction term in multiDimAdvection (affects plume_on_slope

2362        - OBCS
2363      + No specific example supplied (yet) but global_ocean.90x40x15 has the
2364        necessary data.ptracer file. Simply use -enable=ptracers and uncomment
2365        line in data.pkg.
2366      + This package is disabled by default since it increases storage.
2367    
2368    
2369    o testscript: added -cleanup option

2385      plus resetting for case SunOS
2386    o added timer_stats.c routine for IBM SP3
2387    o removed variables in dynamics
2388    !!! I forgot to create tag chkpt44d_pre !!!

2390    
2391    o real fresh water flux implemented with non-linear free-surface.
2392    
2393    chkpt44c_pre,post
2394    o few fix (mask in shap_s2, EmPmR in external_field_load,
2395      USE_NATURAL_BCS in solve_for_P);
2396    o add arguments myIter & myTime to S/R obcs_calc & solve_for_P
2397    
2398    checkpoint44b_pre/_post
2399    o merge of relevant stuff from the ecco-branch:

2447      implementation of forward-in-time forcing terms
2448    o more mods for non-linear free-surface including new variable
2449    o modified multi-dim method to work on cube
2450    o bug fix in KPP (from DM)
2451    
2452    checkpoint40pre9
2453    o added DST advection schemes
2454    o fix MPI bug on SGI's

2462    checkpoint40pre8
2463    o new package rw/
2464      Added method for dumping intermediate local arrays:
2465      mdsio_writetile - same as mdsio_writefield except works from inside
2466                        bi,bj loop
2467      mdsio_writelocal - same as mdsio_writetile except works for local
2468                         arrays
2469      write_local_r? - higher-level wrapper for mdsio_writelocal
2470      Controlled by diagFreq. Defaults to zero (ie. no dumps)
2471      Example given at end of mom_vecinv.F that dumps some local arrays.
2472    o replaced calc_mom_rhs.F by mom_fluxform.F/mom_vecinc.F to
2473      control flux-form versus vector invariant code.
2474      Switch is runtime flag vectorInvariantMomentum (defaults to false)
2475      or genmake -DISABLE ...
2476    o TAMC-related update to cope with mom_fluxform.F/mom_vecinc.F
2477      (additional storing is now needed for case vecinv;
2478      currently nothing implemented to switch this storing off
2479      in case fluxform is used since no CPP flag available).
2480    
2481    checkpoint40pre7
2482    o bug fix in dynamics.F
2483      calc_viscosity called before k=1,Nr loop.

2493    o Added diffkr, kapgm to control variables
2494    o bug fix in gmredi_slope_limit for ldd97
2495    
2496    checkpoint40pre5
2497    o proper initialization of Adams-Bashforth time stepping
2498      + uses forward step for very first step of model (iter=0)
2499    o re-generated *all* output since almost all output is modified by this
2500      change (sorry but we've been putting this one off for about 2 years)
2501      + natl_box, aim.5l_Equatorial_Channel and aim.5l_zon-ave were
2502        *not* regenerated since they are already out of date and I don't
2503        want to create the impression that they are suddenly working.
2504    o removed KAP stuff for DEC's
2505    o modified/added many .cvsignore files in */code and */input
2506    o added new expt "solid-body.cs-32x32x1"
2507      + this uses an alternative form of ini_curvilinear_grid.F which
2508        is not necessarily any better than the current one...
2509    
2510    checkpoint40pre4
2511    o added re-initialisations of utrans,vtrans,rtrans in
2512      calc_common_factors which are crucial for TAF.
2513    o extended iMin,jMin range for calc_common_factors,
2514      calc_diffusivity
2515    o added option ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER

2533       in addummy_in_stepping
2534     o Updated verification/vero/ (bug fixes in code/, correct pickups in input/)
2535     o Enabled "sliced" (xz-,yz-) exchanges, needed for obcs.
2536     o Included following packages:
2537       cal: calendar
2538       exf: external forcing
2539       ecco: essential routines to control use of cal, exf
2540             (NB: this is not the full ECCO environment)
2541     o disabled some packages by default in genmake
2542    
2543    checkpoint38
2544     o see notes_c37_adj.txt
2545     o corrected wrong layer index in external_forcing_t
2546     o replaced the_main_loop/forward_step by the_main_loop
2547     o removed forceoutput from write_state
2548       (replaced criteria for initial/final state)
2549     o added runtime flag for pre-C35 pickups: usePickupBeforeC35
2550    
2551    checkpoint37
2552     o mdsio.F routine split and packaged in pkg/mdsio
2553       (mdsio.F and mdsio_gl.F still exist in eesupp/src but are not
2554        used unless genmake -disable=mdsio)
2555     o allow a more precise surface-geopotential gradient for the atmosphere
2556       taking into account the change in space of Alpha (=1/rho) at the surface.
2557     o variable "etaN" (replace cg2d_x) is the surface R-anomaly [r unit]
2558       (ocean: sea surface height [m] / atmos: surface pressure anomaly [Pa])
2559     o Change units: Phi_Hydrostatic (=phiHyd), Phi_Surface(=cg2d_x) and
2560       Phi_NonHydrostatic (=cg3d_x), all have now the dimension of a potential
2561       [m2/s2] (pressure/rhoConst in the ocean ; Geo-Potential in the atmosphere).
2562     o Time-Average diagnostics defined as a pseudo package "timeave".
2563     o pickup files : old pickup (before c35) did not work with new code (c35
2564       and after) unless activating 2 commented lines in initialise-varia.
2565     o Non-Hydrostatic pickup file Pb fixed.
2566     o bug with Rigid-lid version (since c35) fixed.  
2567    
2568    checkpoint36
2569     o implement Crank-Nickelson barotropic time-stepping
2570     o recover Time-Average diagnostics
2571     o fix Pb in checkpoint (PR#19)
2572     o AIM become a standard package ; clean unused CPP_kees
2573    
2574    checkpoint35
2575     o subtantial rewrite of dynamics.f
2576     o allows staggered time-stepping
2577     o packaged obcs, aim (Atmospheric Physics), zonal_filt, shap_filt
2578     o added bottom drag (linear + quadratic)
2579    
2580    checkpoint34
2581     o Modified exchange routines for correct reverse simulation.
2582     o Added verification output to comply with bug fix in impldiff.F
2583       as of c33 (exp2, natl_box).

2585     o Corrected array boundaries in impldiff.F
2586     o Corrected array dimensions in gmredi.

2590    
2591    checkpoint33
2592     o Fixed bug in lower BC in impldiff.F
2593     o Fixed confusion about units of forcing arrays in FFIELDS.h
2594       namely Fu,Fv,Qnet,Qsw,EmPmR:
2595       - Removed verification/natl_box/code/external_fields_scale.F
2596         (did not differ from that in model/src)
2597       - Changed units of fu,fv,Qnet,Qsw,EmPmR back to proper units
2598         (see FFIELDS.h for description)
2599       - Scale fu,fv,Qnet,Qsw,EmPmR when used in external_forcing_surf.F,
2600         kpp_calc.F and kpp_transport_t.F
2601       - Removed model/src/external_fields_scale.F and calls to it
2602       - verification/natl_box uses flux data with "atmospheric" sign so
2603         a special version of external_fields_load.F is used to
2604         change the data as it's read in. This way, the arrays
2605         have the right units and signs at all times tha a user could
2606         possibly use them.
2607     o Corrected genmake to delete a temporary file during configuration
2608    
2609    checkpoint32
2610     o Scaling of forcing fields moved from external_forcing.F to
2611       external_fields_scale.F, called directly after loading fields.
2612     o Surface relaxation terms added to surface tendency fields in
2613       extra subroutine.
2614     o impldiff.F changed to avoid storing by TAMC of huge intermediate
2615       fields.

2622       -> new routines packages_...F
2623       -> changes in initialise_fixed.F, initialise_varia.F
2624       -> enables initialisation interface for ECCO package
2625     o Rescaling of external forcing fields immediately after read
2626       (removed from external_forcing.F)
2627       -> new: surface_fields_scale.F
2628       -> affects ini_foorcing.F, external_fields_load.F
2629     o Computation of surface tendencies before tendency updates.
2630       -> new: external_forcing_surf.F
2631     o Change of variable names useGMRedi, useKPP, useECCO
2632     o Further changes in dynamics.F, impldiff.F for TAMC
2633     o Tested for experiments 0, 2, 4.
2634       - not yet tested for GMRedi.
2635       - not yet tested for KPP.
2636    
2637    checkpoint30

2648    
2649    checkpoint28
2650     o Corrected initialization of hFacMin for difference vertical coordinates
2651     o Modified calculation of partial cell thickness to more robust algorithm
2652     o config_summary.F: replaced write_1D_... by write_0D_...
2653       read_write.F: added subroutines write_0D_...
2654     o routines calc_common_factors, calc_gs, calc_gt, calc_phi_hyd, find_rho:
2655       included some initialisations required for TAMC.
2656     o routine calc_isoslopes: modified sqrt computation to make it
2657       differentiable for zero argument.
2658     o routines dynamics, impldiff:
2659       included store directives and tape key computations required for TAMC.
2660     o ALL TAMC related changes are between ifdef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
2661    
2662    checkpoint27
2663     o fixed calc_isoslopes() to so that cancellation of terms in tensor
2664       formulation works properly with variable resolution.
2665     o restructured the calling tree between the_model_main() and dynamics()

2667     o introduced initialization file pSurfInitFile for free surface (cg2d_x)
2668       in new routine ini_psurf()
2669    
2670    checkpoint26
2671     o moved some #ifdef in optional routines to encompass everything
2672       except the argument declarations. This was using up some memory.
2673     o fixed macros like _ADT to work with both versions of Linux cpp
2674     o cleaned up some unused and uninitialized variables
2675       (helps when debugging with strict compile options)
2676     o split up CPP_EEOPTIONS.h into options and macros
2677       (macros are now in eesupp/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h)
2678     o patch for 2 processor JAM mode
2679    
2680    checkpoint25
2681     o updates for OBCs and NH
2682     o dramatically reduced memory usage

2685     o added a diagnostic of convective index
2686     o moved call to calc_divg_hat() from dynamics() to solve_for_pressure()
2687       (this is was partly for OBCs and NH but also in anticipation of
2688        an explicit free-surface option)
2689     o initial state input files for U and V
2690    
2691    checkpoint24
2692     o Removed some spurious "REAL"s
2693     o Updated KPP to latest version from JPL

2699    
2700    checkpoint22
2701     o Made many small changes: implicit none, format(i5), etc...
2702     o Introduced KPP mixing scheme (compiles and runs but *not* tested)
2703    
2704    checkpoint21
2705     o Introduced new I/O package that supports direct-access records (mdsio.F)
2706     o Split-up mid-level I/O routines
2707     o Updated input data for experiments 0,1,2,4 and 5
2708     o Finally removed the genmake.* scripts (everyone seems happy with genmake)
2709    
2710    checkpoint20
2711     o Tidied up open-boundaries some more
2712     o Added non-hydrostatic code
2713     o Fixed some input data
2714     o Modified MPI start-up to work in "coupled" context.
2715    
2716    checkpoint19
2717     o Tidied up directory structure for verification experiments.
2718     o Added new code for open boundaries.
2719     o Corrected advective terms near boundaries.
2720     o Added CPP flag for "old UV" geometry and corrected spherical geometry.
2721     o Implemented free-slip/no-slip BCs and del^4 dissipation.
2722     o Split default parameters out of ini_parms.F into set_defaults.F.
2723    
2724    checkpoint18
2725     o Further changes for optional code generation with
2726       CPP - ugh!
2727    
2728    checkpoint17
2729     o Beginning to incorporating modularity
2730       for supporting atmos. and ocean configs.
2731     o Small changes for TAMC complinace
2732     o New ultra simple test case. Barotropic box
2733       configuration "exp0".
2734    
2735    checkpoint16
2736     o Minor changes to exchange routines to support
2737       accumulation in reverse mode. Adjoint of an
2738       assignment is an addition.
2739     o Changes to support compilation by TAMC (LR(1)
2740       syntax) and by g77 under Linux ( 72 character
2741       limit ).
2742    
2743    checkpoint15
2744     Rewrote exchange routines to allow
2745     o General tile <-> tile connectivity.
2746     o TAMC reverse mode flag ( is this really needed? )
2747     o Variable width overlap and exchange region widths.
2748     o Hooks for sharing data via DMA, Arctic, Memory Channel,
2749       shmput/shmget, VIA, SYSV shmem and every other cool
2750       communication method.
2751    
2752    checkpoint14
2753     Consistent isomorphism chages made. These allow dynamical core
2754     to support both pressure and meters as a vertical coordinate.
2755    
2756    checkpoint13
2757     Release which corrects global_max problem and a couple
2758     of KGM time-averaging diagnostic errors. Also contains
2759     a double-gyre experiment setup as well as the baseline
2760     4 degree global template. The double gyre template is
2761     organised to allow it to be applied automatically to
2762     the baseline configuration.
2763    
2764    branch-point-rdot
2765     A few tidy-ups have been made bt the real point of this
2766     check-point (excuse the pun) is to allow a branch to be
2767     made for the purposes of adding the rDot alterations.
2768     I don't want to commit the rDot to the main-trunk until
2769     we've actually tested it...
2770    
2771    checkpoint12
2772     Tidy up and added generic genmake script (formerly
2773     configure script).
2774     Released to testers.
2775    
2776    checkpoint11
2777     Re-arranged initialise() and introduced ini_vertical_grid()
2778     and ini_masks_etc().
2779    
2780    checkpoint10
2781     Introduced the configure script.
2782     Separated out the diags package.
2783     Added template for writing time-averages of tile/intermediate quantities.
2784     Updated SIZE.h in exp2 and made the data big-endian.
2785    
2786    checkpoint9
2787     MPI fix. Filename changes (meta/data). salbin*y stuff.
2788     General tidy-up.
2789     SST.bin SSS.bin added to verification/exp2
2790    
2791    checkpoint8
2792     Inludes time-dependant forcing and time-averaging.
2793     Works at 4x4 and 2.8125x2.8125 global
2794    
2795    checkpoint7-4degree-ref
2796     Branch from checkpoint7. Released for application to
2797     global modeling and general modeling - process studies, regional
2798     model etc..
2799     Configured for verification/exp2 - 4 degree global, two process.
