4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7  o adding precip control xx_precip  o add pkg/longstep for ptracer timestep a multiple of U/V/T/S timestep
8  o moved ptracer ctrl index 17 -> 32    - adds deltaT argument to the subroutines TIMESTEP_TRACER DWNSLP_APPLY
9        GAD_ADVECTION GAD_CALC_RHS GAD_IMPLICIT_R GAD_SOM_ADVECT
10      - verification experiment natl_box.longstep
11    o build_options: ifort+mpi_aces optfile (following Constantinos advise):
12      allow different versions of ifort (8 or 9) and different versions
13       of mpi (mpich or mpich2) to be used with the same optfile.
14      requires to load a netcdf module and set MPI_INC_DIR (see comments inside
15       optfile). Change testing scripts (example_scripts/ACESgrid) accordingly.
16    
17    checkpoint61r
18    o pkg/seaice:
19     - clean up the 3-time levels of UICE,VICE,HEFF,AREA in three steps:
20      1. introduce fields for time step (N-1)
21      2. do not use levels 2 and 3 anymore (but keep them)
22      3. replace 3D versions of UICE,VICE,HEFF,AREA by 2D versions. This
23         includes changes to pkg/thsice/thsice_get_velocity.F,
24         model/src/external_forcing_surf.F, pkg/obcs/obcs_apply_seaice.F, and
25         pkg/obcs/obcs_apply_uvice.F.
26     - completely remove code for leap-frog time stepping for second order
27       advection
28     - adjusted adjoint accordingly;
29       gradient checks have improved by an order of magnitude!
30    
31    checkpoint61q
32    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in free slip boundary conditons for LSOR solver
33     - the boundary conditions along open boundaries are unclear, because the
34       associated masks are set to zero and are thus treated as closed when
35       applying the slip-boundary conditions.
36     - move initialisation of grid variables from seaice_init_varia to _fixed
37    o adding doc/diags_changes.txt
38    o model/src:
39      do_the_model_io: rename few pkg S/R which are called from do_the_model_io,
40       to avoid "_diags" naming if no relation to pkg/diagnostics.
41      ini_theta,ini_salt: fix (at least compile the code) reading from NetCDF
42       file and only call PLOT_FIELD_XYZ if debugMode=T.
43      remove few PLOT_FIELD_XY calls outside initialisation.
44      remove few unnecessary BARRIER.
45    o pkg/salt_plume: add SaltPlumeSouthernOcean to allow disabling
46      of salt_plume package in Southern Ocean
47    o pkg/thsice:
48     - fix hOceMxL in overlap (needed for sea-ice advection);
49       update output of experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn.
50    o pkg/seaice:
51     - make the (placeholder-)tracer IceAge a little more meaningful
52      by avoiding ridging of age due to convergent ice flow
53     - add diagnostics for surface temperature, atmospheric and oceanic
54       heat flux, and atmospheric and oceanic ice growth
55    
56    checkpoint61p
57    o eesupp (global_max & global_sum):
58     - add one more element to buffer (start at index 0) for GL_MAX/SUM output;
59     - remove starting & endding barrier (no longer needed)
60    o pkg/mdsio, writelocal:
61       works also in multi-threaded when LOCBIN_IO_THREAD_SAFE is undefined
62       (remove the STOP): uses shared buffer IO to store data from all threads
63       and then let master-thread write nThreads tiles.
64    o pkg/mdsio (read/write field):
65     - tiled IO done in 1 piece (all levels at a time);
66     - new header file "MDSIO_BUFF_3D.h" with 3-D buffers.
67     - multi-threaded: allow to read/write local (non-shared) array
68       (was already working with singleCpuIO ; now works also without);
69       => no longer needs barrier call after reading a file (added inside
70       mds_read/write field).
71     - move barrier calls outside gather/scatter_2d to mds_read/write_field
72    o pkg/obcs/exf
73      - exf_getffieldrec.F: add a few ". _d 0" and
74                            add code to catch the case fldperiod = 0.  
75      - obcs_precribe_read.F: change if statements so that they match
76                              the variable type (_RL)
77      - add a separate exf_iprec_obcs to exf_set_obcs (by default equal to
78        exf_iprec) as part of namelist EXF_NML_01
79    o pkg/mdsio:
80      - read/write tiled (local) files: read/write 1-level tile chunk at a time
81        (instead of segment of length sNx); expected to speed up tiled IO.
82    o pkg/exch2:
83      - take buffer copy from/to array out of S/R exch2_send/recv into new
84        S/R exch2_put/get ; Exch of local variable now works with MPI+MTH
85        (tested by removing commom block statement in SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE.h).
86      - ad version of send/recv no longer needed (but needs exch2_ad_put/ad_get)
87      - simplify argument list of S/R exch2_get_uv_bounds and exch2_get_scal_bounds
88        (which replaces exch2_get_recv_bounds & exch2_get_send_bounds) by
89        including Topology header file (and common blocks).
90      - implement EXCH_IGNORE_CORNERS in scalar exchange (rx1);
91        remove 2nd exch call in exch2_s3d_rx (no longer needed).
92      - document S/R arg. list (+ update some comments)
93    o pkg/seaice:
94      - added SEAICE_CLIM_AIR code, which permits modulation of surface air
95        temperature and humidity over sea ice based on climatological values.
96      - clean up computation of Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling for the case
97        of LSR (this change is expected to change the results slightly because now
98        it uses slightly difference moduli from the second last LSR solution, but
99        that is more consistent with the stress computations; this part of the code
100        is not tested in the verification experiments)
101      - fix diagnostics for flux of ice in case of B-grid
102      - turn strain rates eij and press into global fields within global
103        common block in SEAICE.h for more straighforward diagnostics
104      - fix diagnostics for principal stress components, press, zeta, eta
105        to give something meaning full
106    o change tiling of global_ocean.cs32x15 (12 tiles, 32x16) and generate
107      new output (all 4 tests) using default rotationPeriod.
108    o pkg KPP:
109      - add flag (LimitHblStable) to avoid limiting BL depth under stable conditions
110      - fix vertical indices in RI_IWMIX (match between KPP grid from 0 to Nr+1
111        and normal grid from 1 to Nr)
112    o Fix computations of L4rdt in mom_calc_visc.F
113    o eesupp:
114      new S/R ALL_PROC_DIE (like EEDIE, without irrelevant threads err msg):
115      should be called before a "stop" if we know that all process are going
116      to stop; if one Proc does call this S/R, will hang in MPI_FINALISE.
117    
118    checkpoint61o
119    o pkg/exch2: change check_depths to issue just a warning (instead of error+stop)
120    o model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F:
121       compute angleSin/CosC when they are not read from a file
122    o pkg/seaice:
123       add pseudo time stepping for LSOR
124    o pkg/exch2:
125       temporary fix for exch2_s3d_rx; update results of exp. hs94.cs-32x32x5.impIGW
126    o pkg/seaice:
127       Adding separate sea ice albedo, drag coefficients, and HO in Southern
128       Ocean from those in Arctic Ocean.  See *_south in SEAICE_PARAMS.h
129    o SingleCpuIO:
130       fix bug put before chkp61n (May 11), when more than 2 MPI cpu are used.
131    o pkg/seaice:
132       put exchanged variable in (local) common block for MPI+Multi-Threads
133       to work (necessary with exch1, and for now with exch2 too).
134    o verification: to get more experiments tested with mpi, mth and mpi+mth,
135      change tiling of:
136       aim.5l_Equatorial_Channel, aim.5l_LatLon, dome, exp4, global_ocean.90x40x15,
137       hs94.cs-32x32x5, MLAdjust, offline_exf_seaice & tutorial_plume_on_slope
138      update output of exp:
139       exp4, global_ocean.90x40x15(+.dwslp), MLAdjust(all 5),
140       tutorial_plume_on_slope and hs94.cs-32x32x5 (use default rotationPeriod)
141      + ideal_2D_ocean: use default rotation period + test Global_Sum_SINGLECPU
142                       (note: output.txt generated on faulks using only 1 tile)
143    o eesupp & mdsio (SingleCpuIO):
144     - remove MISSING_TILE_IO (from MDSIO_OPTIONS.h), replaced by run-time
145       parameter "W2_useE2ioLayOut" (read from file "data.exch2").
146       Note: was not effective for globalFile & useSingleCpuIO=F; now fixed.
147     - move MDSIO_SCPU.h (pkg/mdsio) to EEBUFF_SCPU.h (eesupp/inc).
148     - fix GLOBAL_SUM_SINGLECPU when using Exch2; re-use same buffers and same
149       gather/scatter S/R as with SingleCpuIO (=> 1 less 2D global RL array).
150    o pkg/exch2:
151     - new code to set-up W2-Exch2 topology (replace matlab-topology-generator):
152       read parameter file "data.exch2" if it exists; otherwise try default regular
153       cube without blank-tile; new header file "W2_EXCH2_SIZE.h";
154     - update matlab-topology-generator (exch2_setup_cs6_print.m) to be compatible
155       with new code (not to be used, just as a backup solution).
156     - add examples (e.g., for lat-lon-cap_120) of parameter file "data.exch2"
157       in utils/exch2/input.
158    
159    checkpoint61n
160    o eesupp & mdsio (SingleCpuIO):
161      - move mapping to global io-buffer inside gather_2d/scater_2d: this save
162        memory (1 less 2D global RL array); skip 1 buffer copy; and only send/
163        receive real*4 array (instead of real*8) to read/write 32.bit files.
164        (new template for gather_2d/scater_2d, new set of S/R MDS_PASS_R4,8toRL,S
165         and remove new mapping S/R)
166    o pkg/mdsio: in preparation for topology-generator within pkg/exch2:
167      - Change declaration of SingleCpuIO buffer, reduced to only 1 dim.:
168        xyBuffer_size, which is set to W2_ioBufferSize from W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h
169        when using exch2. Add S/R to map global io-buffer to global model array.
170      - uses exch2_global_Nx,y instead of exch2_domain_nxt,nyt.
171    
172    checkpoint61m
173    o write_utils : change WRITE_1D_R8 to WRITE_1D_RL
174      and add 3 other S/R for other types (R4,R8,RS).
175      Change calls to WRITE_0D/1D_R[4,8,S,L] to match the type of argument.
176    o eesupp/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h (EXCH & GLOBAL_SUM/MAX macros):
177     - ensure suffix (_R4,_R8,_RS,_RL) correspondance between macro and S/R ;
178     - reduce number of macro definitions (keep only those which are used);
179       can always call directly the corrresponding S/R if needed.
180     - everywhere in the code: change macros (EXCH & GLOBAL_SUM/MAX) suffix
181       _R4/_R8 to _RS/_RL when applied to _RS/_RL variable.
182     Fixed wrong type of arg in:
183       atm2d/put_ocnvars.F cheapaml/cheapaml.F ocn_compon_interf/ocn_apply_import.F
184       ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F seaice/seaice_do_diags.F seaice/seaice_model.F
185     To fix: global_sum of var in common block is wrong (multi-threaded) in:
186       dic/dic_atmos.F ebm/ebm_area_t.F ebm/ebm_zonalmean.F sbo/sbo_calc.F
187     To fix: aim_v23/aim_do_co2.F (BARRIER & GLOBAL_SUM within bi,bj loops)
188    o adjustment.cs-32x32x1: test "blank tiles" when compiling with mpi; 2nd
189      "nlfs" mpi test is going to stop when checking for unconnected tile egdes.
190    o eesupp/src: new S/R to stop everyone when 1 (or more) Proc. find an error
191    o pkg/exch2: new S/R EXCH2_CHECK_DEPTHS to check that unconnected tile
192      edges are closed (zero depth); might happen with "blank tiles";
193      for now, disabled if using OBCS.
194    o tools/gemake2: delete modifs from March 27-29 2009 (with option "-mpi":
195      link *_mpi files from "MODS" dir) to return to a strait-forward behavior.
196    o move read_write.F to write_utils.F ; new parameter (maxLengthPrt1D)
197      to reduce length of 1.D array print in STDOUT.
198    o adjustment.cs-32x32x1: changed to oceanic test with 1 continent
199      + use 48 tiles (16x8): this will allow to test "blank tiles".
200    o start to test MPI + multi-threaded (change testreport to skip tests
201      where number of tiles do not match).
202    o genmake2: add option "-omp" to turn on Open-MP ;
203      passed to testreport (if using -mth) ; merge few (*+mth) optfiles.
204    o pkg/exch2 (+ utils/exch2): ignore blank tiles (instead of removing them)
205      and keep the original tile numbering. Note: compatible with old
206      W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h & w2_e2setup.F topology files.
207    
208    checkpoint61l
209    o Overlaps had been forgotten in calculating ijk keys : fixed
210    o fix cyrus makedepend for gcc 4.4
211    o experiment fizhi-cs-aqualev20:
212      switching to new version of S/R GETPWHERE (#define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE)
213      and generate new output. Note: new output is much closer to the old
214      one (v1.8) generated with pgf77 -O2 on Mar 14 2007 than it is from
215      the previous one (v1.9) generated with pgf77 -O0 on Jun 13 2007.
216    o pkg/fizhi:
217     - change to avoid indices going deliberately over array-bounds
218     - remove unnecessary MPI stuff
219     - perpetual spring equinox with "#define FIZHI_USE_FIXED_DAY"
220     - new version of S/R GETPWHERE available with #define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE:
221       does not go over array-bounds and therefore returns reliable output.
222     - in fizhi_driver.F & fizhi_turb.F, fix "get_alarm" calls:
223       this S/R has 4 output arguments, which are used inside "get_alarm";
224       when it is called with the same variable "ndum" in place of several
225       output arguments, this produces weird side effect inside "get_alarm"
226      (e.g., datein=dates(n) is overwritten by timein=times(n) since both
227       datein & timein, resp. 2nd and 3rd arg., are pointed to the same "ndum"
228       address) and produces error.
229    o tools/gemake2: (March 27-29 2009)
230      with option "-mpi": link *_mpi files from "MODS" dir (this is what
231      testreport does).
232    o lab_sea experiment: change from 2x1 tiles to 2x2 tiles and regenerate output
233    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in new version of S/R SEAICE_LSR.F:
234       update lab_sea.lsr & lab_sea.salt_plume results
235    o pkg/seaice:
236      Major overhaul of the LSOR solver: change discretization from original
237      finite differences to finite volume. The old routine is still in the
238      file seaice_lsr.F and can be turned on with the CPP-flag
239      SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION
240      Along with this change, the discretization of the strain rates is changed.
241      The same flag turns on the old discretization in seaice_calc_strainrates.F
242      All verification experiments with seaice are affected (except for
243      seaice_exf_offline); global_ocean.cs32x15/input.icedyn recovers the old
244      results by setting the above flag.
245      Further changes involve changes in defaults:
246      - ALLOW_FLOODING is defined and turned on by default
247      - SEAICEadvSnow = .true. is now the default
248      - SEAICEadvSalt = .true. is now the default
249      - SEAICEadvAge  = .true. is now the default
250      - SEAICE_clipVelocities  = .false. is now the default
251                                         (as per J. Zhang's recommendation)
252      - B-grid, and thus not tested: SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1/EXPLICIT_SSH_SLOPE
253        is defined, SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 is renamed into SEAICE_BICE_STRESS
254      - seaice_growth: replace computation of UG by a simple copy from wspeed
255    
256    checkpoint61k
257    o pkg/seaice: a few bug fixes mostly concerning the metric terms:
258      seaice_lsr: fixed a few metric terms,
259                  affects lab_sea.lsr, lab_sea.salt_plume, seaice_obcs
260                  add more debugging diagnostics
261      seaice_evp: removed superfluous many metric terms of FV discretization
262                  of stress divergence
263                  affects lab_sea, lab_sea.hb87
264      seaice_ocean_stress: removed superfluous many metric terms of FV discretization
265                  of stress divergence for non-evp solver
266                  (this part is not tested anywhere)
267      seaice_calc_strainrates: fixed a bug in no-slip boundary conditions,
268                  they were effectively only half slip
269                  affects lab_sea.hb87
270      updated all relevant verification experiments (except lab_sea//output_adm.txt
271        which was left over, but fails at level 7 & 6)
272    
273    checkpoint61j
274    o pkg/seaice: turn a few hard wired parameters into run time parameters
275    o pkg/seaice/exf/monitor: turn netcdf coordinate variable T into model
276      time in seconds as promised by the usints in seaice_monitor and exf_monitor
277    o pkg/mnc: fix the coordinate variables for multi-tile curvi-linear grids
278      that are not cubed-sphere grids
279    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug for the rare case of SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR
280    o pkg/ctrl:
281      fix bug in ctrl_depth_ini.F (EXCH_XYZ was applied to 2-D field xx_r_low)
282    o non-hydrostatic (calc_gw.F):
283      fix viscA4 on CS-grid + fix diagnostics: Wm_Diss & Wm_Advec
284      update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
285    o remove backward compatibility for thetaMin,phiMin
286      (replaced by xgOrigin,ygOrigin on Jan 27, 2009)
287    o pkg/exf: fix a serious bug in exf_set_uv.F: do a rotation of the
288      interpolated wind field not only for curvilineargrid=.true., but also
289      for a rotated grid (rotateGrid=.true.)
290    o pkg/exf: add capability to bypass interpolation for runoff
291      by setting yet another CPP-flag
292    o eesupp/src, B-grid exchange:
293      add simple (6 tiles, non MPI) CS exch + standard interface S/R.
294    o autodiff
295      new CPP option ALLOW_TAMC_SINGLEPREC_COMLEV
296      allows to switch to single-prec common blocks;
297      corresponding switch occurs in tamc.h, integer isbyte
298      TAF store directivs "byte" and "kind" seem equivalent;
299      Most tamc.h have been updated correspondingly.
300    
301    checkpoint61i
302    o autodiff:
303      fix autodiff_sore/_restore indices for obcs
304      (spotted by I. Hoteit, M. Mazloff)
305    o pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl:
306      Add flag to reduce all tapelev I/O to single-prec.
307      In data.ctrl set
308        doSinglePrecTapelev = .TRUE.
309    o model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F, new grid-file format without EXCH2:
310      check in hack for SX8 compiler (for dxV, dyU); remove it afterwards.
311    o pkg/shelfice: fix bug with SHELFICEconserve flag, prepare for
312      real fresh water flux (not yet)
313    o pkg/mdsio & rw:
314     - add argument & option to S/R MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC (avoid Open/Close & write-meta)
315     - add simple interface S/R to MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC in pkg/rw: WRITE_GLVEC_RX.
316    o pkg/flt:
317     - replace FLT_INIT by 3-steps standard initialization S/R: readparms,
318       init_fixed & ini_varia.
319     - clean-up & simplify linear interpolation S/R:
320       move flt_bilinear.F -> flt_interp_linear.F ; add arg. myThid.
321     - fix some indices (mainly vertical index) ; add IMPLICIT NONE.
322     - more efficient I/O, using new options of MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC S/R.
323     - add vert. coordinate & horiz. indices to output files.
324     - change vertical position in initial condition, from index to depth [m].
325     - store horizontal (decimal) indices i,j in common block (instead of coord. x,y)
326       (easier to get to a curvilinear grid) ; delX,delY no longer used.
327    o pkg/ggl90: a few modifications:
328     - fix bottom boundary condition, and interpolation of KappaE
329       near top and bottom
330     - use same set of viscosity/diffusivity for TKE/momnetum/tracer
331     - add smoothing option as in Blanke and Delecluse (1993) (--> ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH)
332     - add a few options for mixing-length upper limit (--> mxlMaxFlag)  
333    o rename thetaMin,phiMin -> xgOrigin,ygOrigin
334      (maintain temporary backward compatibility, until next checkpoint)
335    
336    checkpoint61h
337    o pkg/diagnostics with "periodic averaging diagnostics":
338      fix S/R DIAGNOSTICS_COUNT ; hack diagnostics_out.F to get NetCDF output.
339    o pkg/my82: add missing "_d 0" ; update output of exp. vermix.my82
340    o pkg/obcs: fix loop ranges for balancing code
341    o pkg/flt:
342     - improve criteria for finding which tile owns a float.
343     - fix FLT_EXCH for case without MPI ; apply cyclic BC + fix also the MPI case.
344    o Add well-mixed CO2 box in aim_v23 (which includes changes in pkg
345      aim_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf, gchem, and dic to get coupling
346      with ocean biogeo)
347    o pkg/flt:
348     - do some cleaning and fix the restart ;
349     - add output.txt in flt_example/results to get this pkg tested.
350    o genmake2: add an EXTENDED_SRC option and flag.
351       for now, cannot be turned on on command line (only through genmake_local)
352    o pkg/mdsio: read/write vector:
353     - singleCpuIO: fix RL/RS in MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_BUFFERtoRL/RS
354     - singleCpuIO=F: fix arrType & filePrec & _BYTESWAPIO in both MDSREADVECTOR
355       & MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_RD/WR_VEC_RL/RS.
356     - affects gradient of test-exp "bottom_ctrl_5x5" (not due to _BYTESWAPIO)
357      (drop to 4 digits matching for grad). But this test does not look very
358      reliable (was already failling on eddy, fc5, at 6.digits). Update output.
359    
360    checkpoint61g
361    o pkg/flt:
362      - move FLT_CPPOPTIONS.h to FLT_OPTIONS.h (standard name)
363       + make OPTIONS file more standard.
364      - rename S/R MDSREADVECTOR_FLT to FLT_MDSREADVECTOR (to mach src file name)
365      - fix _BYTESWAPIO CPP-Flag
366      - standard reading of file-parameter "data.flt"
367      - fix argument list of S/R FLT_RESTART
368      still need to fix _BYTESWAPIO in pkg/mdsio/mdsio_writevector.F
369    o pkg/obcs: fix a CPP-flag, bug reported by Jeff Blundell
370    o gather_2d.F/scatter_2d.F: suppress vectorisation on NEC SX in respond to
371      a still unfixed compiler/optimization bug
372    
373    checkpoint61f
374    o pkg/seaice, LSR solver: fix bug in GLOBAL_MAX calls ;
375      update results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn test.
376    o move getcon.F from model/src to pkg/fizhi.
377    o pkg/exf: add parameter for extrapolation of temp up to the surface
378       and option to prevent negative evap (in bulk_largeyeager04 only).
379    o Prather Advection scheme: fix tracer conservation for divergent flow
380      (e.g., when using NonLin Free-Surface).
381    o kpp: retire KPPmld diagnostics --> use MXLDEPTH instead
382    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
383     - add more parameters to Visbeck-variable-K.
384     - use a 5 points average for dSigmaR in Visbeck-K calculation
385       (more "homogenous": same stencil and same weights as in dSigmaH)
386     - update output of ideal_2D_oce experiment.
387    o fix CPP-flag REAL4_IS_SLOW, when _RS expands into real*4
388      (#undef REAL4_IS_SLOW)
389     - pkg/mnc/mnc_cw_cvars.F: write _RS-grid variable as netcdf-real*4
390       coordinate variable
391     - pkg/monitor/monitor.F: call mon_printstats_rs for _RS variables
392       (surface forcing fields), removes some of the functionality
393     - model/src/write_grid.F: write _RS variables as RS-netcdf variables
394     - model/src/diags_oceanic_surf_flux.F: fix a few diagnostics, but
395       probably not all: copy _RS surface flux fields to RL field before
396       calling DIAGNOSTICS_FILL
397     - model/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h: make the _EXCH_*_RS macros expand into
398       real*4 (CALL EXCH_*_RS) versions.
399     - tested in 2 experiments: inverted_barometer & solid-body.cs-32x32x1
400       (generate new output).
401    
402    checkpoint61e
403    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
404      - fix the "OLD_VISBECK_CALC" option + move the #undef to GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
405      - change computation of Visbeck-K where Slope > Smax :        
406        now: N*min(Slope,Smax) (similar to OLD_VISBECK_CALC with gkw91 taperFct)
407        previously was: M*sqrt(min(Slope,Smax)) ; update ideal_2D_oce output.
408    o bottom-drag in P-coord.: change units of bottomDragLinear & bottomDragQuadratic
409      to be the same as with Z-coord. (i.e., m/s & no-units respectively).
410    o calc_viscosity: fix index range (was wrong for CD-Scheme & explicit Visc)
411    o pkg gmredi, linear & fm07 tapering: put an upper limit on Slope^2 so that Kwz
412      does not become too large (to avoid precision problems in implicit-diffusion
413      solver); update ideal_2D_oce output.
414    o pkg ggl90:
415      - in ggl90_cal.F: compute only one set of visc/diff, used to
416        step forward TKE/T/S/momentum
417      - default value of GGL90viscMax/GGL90diffMax larger and equal (to
418        have Prandlt =1)
419    o gmredi (fm07):
420      - add lower limit on Transition layer thickness + lower limit on 1/lambda
421      - allow to set few more params from data.gmredi
422    o pkg ggl90:
423          - add missing sqrt(2) factor in computation of mixing length
424            scale in ggl90_calc.F
425            (see Eq. (2.35) in Blanke and Delecluse, JPO, 1993)
426    
427    checkpoint61d
428    o adjoint modifs
429      - adapt to new field rhoInSitu
430      - allow to revert from StoreDynVars2D, StoreDynVars3D
431        to individual fields
432        (switches AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_2D, AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_3D)
433    o store 3-D (in-situ) density in commom block (DYNVARS.h)
434     - save 1 rho computation.
435     - no longer modify T & S inland when using down_slope pkg.
436    o gad_som : allow to switch to SOM advection for T & S without corresponding
437      pickup files (using new S/R: MDS_CHECK4FILE).
438    o keep removing _BEGIN/_END_MASTER between MDSIO S/R call
439      (for useSingleCpuIO to work in multi-threaded)
440    o pkg/shelfice:
441     - disentangle parameters: retire shelfIceFile in data/PARM05 and substitute
442       with SHELFICEtopoFile in data.shelfice
443     - move code for reading ice shelf topography and modifying hFacC into separate
444       subroutines of the shelfice package
445     - separate initialisation of "fixed" and "variable" variables
446     - kTopC is not (yet) replaced by kSurfC, although this is possible
447    o fix broken diagnostic SIatmFW and changed the units from m/s to kg/m^2/s
448    o add initialisation of deepFac if using Pcoords (new S/R set_grid_factors)
449      and rename:
450      ini_phiref.F          --> set_ref_state.F  (+ set anelastic factors)
451      ini_reference_state.F --> load_ref_files.F (- set anelastic factors)
452    o change FIND_RHO_SCALAR : return rho (instead of rho - rhoConst)
453    
454    checkpoint61c
455    o add option ALLOW_ADDFLUID and run-time selector "selectAddFluid"
456      to add mass source/sink of fluid in the interior (3-D generalisation
457      of oceanic real-fresh water flux).
458    o pkg/monitor: fix recip_dr argument in mon_advcflw2 call (-> advcfl_W_hf_max)
459    o vermix test experiment: switch from LINEAR EOS to MDJWF (not tested before)
460    o new pkg: down_slope
461      density-driven downsloping flow parameterisation (Tellus, 1999, 412-430).
462      - presently, modify T & S inland (dwnslp_calc_rho.F).
463        can be avoided if rho was stored in common bloc and used in calc_phi_hyd.
464      - implementation for ocean in P-coords not tested.
465      - add secondary test to global_ocean.90x40x15 (input.dwnslp) to check this pkg.
466    o move kSurfC,kSurfW & kSurfS from SURFACE.h to GRID.h (next to kLowC)
467      (to facilitate conversion of oceanic pkg to p-coordinate).
468    o change FIND_RHO to FIND_RHO_2D :
469      pass arguments tFld & sFld as local (tile) 2D-arrays ; +fix EOS_CHECK.
470    o new pkg: cheapaml
471    
472    checkpoint61b
473    o exch2:
474      change index bounds in rx2_cube exchanges (new S/R: EXCH2_GET_UV_BOUNDS)
475      - no longer depend on the order sequence (N,S,E,W).
476      - 3rd exchange no longer needed (tested with 24 tiles).
477      - same modif to hand-written adjoint S/R (global_ocean.cs32x15: zero diff)
478      - exch_UV_A-grid readily available (but not yet tested).
479      comment out 3rd exch call and remove copy of V to U at SE & NE face-corners
480      (both are no longer needed) in exch_uv: no effect in forward run; but
481       get truncation error differences with adjoint exch.
482    o exch2:
483     - change index-bounds storage (moved from target to local tile,
484       more intuitive this way) ; rename/remove some variables.
485     - change utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator & code_mods accordingly.
486    
487    checkpoint61a
488    o exch2/matlab-topology-generator:
489      fix bug in index bounds for N-S internal exchange (hard to tell if this
490      had any effect on the solution).
491    o pkg/mnc: small fix in mnc_handle_err: make sure that length of msgbuf
492      is exceeded
493    o testreport: modify syntax of awk, so that it works also with
494      awk, and not only with nawk and gawk
495    
496    checkpoint61
497    o autodiff
498      Change default for TAF usage by removing argument '-nonew_arg'
499      This changes TAF subroutine argument list (ordering of active var.)
500      Omission of this flag leads to incompatibility w.r.t. TAMC
501      To restore TAMC-compatibility, need following modifs:
502      * use adoptfile tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_tamc_compatibility
503      * use CPP option #define AUTODIFF_TAMC_COMPATIBILITY
504      Tested TAF version is 1.9.22
505      N.B.: exch2 hand-written adjoint code currently not TAMC compatible
506    
507    checkpoint60
508    --->>> This is the last checkpoint for which generating the adjoint
509    --->>> is done via the TAMC-compatibility TAF-flag "-nonewarg"
510    --->>> by default.
511    --->>> Future checkpoints will ommit this flag by default.
512    o pkg/generic_advdiff, os7mp: simplify and avoid division by zero.
513    o pkg/grdchk: Add gradient check to etan0 perturbations.
514    o pkg/exf: read ice area from file (#ifdef ALLOW_ICE_AREAMASK).
515    o pkg/autodiff: more flexibility in zeroadj.
516      model/src: modifying do_oceanic_phys.F accordingly.
517    o pkg/ctrl: Bounds for (kapgm,kapredi,eddypsi) parameter estimation.
518    o model/src and pkg/gmredi: GMREDI_WITH_STABLE_ADJOINT CPP option
519      special setup of gmredi for which the adjoint is stable
520      enough for parameter optimization.
521    o bridging the gap between eddy stress and GM.
522      -> eddyTau is replaced with eddyPsi (eddyTau = f x rho0 x eddyPsi)
523          along with a change in CPP option (now ALLOW_EDDYPSI).
524      -> when using GM w/ GM_AdvForm:
525          The total eddy streamfunction (Psi = eddyPsi + K x Slope)
526          is applied either in the tracer Eq. or in momentum Eq.
527          depending on data.gmredi (intro. GM_InMomAsStress).
528      -> ALLOW_EDDYPSI_CONTROL for estimation purpose.
529      The key modifications are in model/src/taueddy_external_forcing.F
530      pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_*F pkg/gmredi/gmredi_*transport.F
531    
532    checkpoint59r
533    o new S/R (pkg/mdsio/mdsio_facef_read.F) reading of sNx+1 x sNy+1 array
534      from per-face file (take S/R READSYMTILE_RS out of ini_curvilinear_grid.F);
535      fix option to read coriolis(@ cell-corner) from files with CS-grid.
536    o pkg/mnc: add some attributes to standard 1D-coordinate variables
537    o pkg/diagnostics: enforce missing_value attribute for scalar variables at
538      mass points, when using mnc for output
539      - add runtime parameter (missing_value, missing_value_int) to override
540        default (which is the value of getcon('UNDEF'))
541    o pkg/mnc: prepare mnc for the actual use of missing values with the
542      diagnostics package: small fix in mnc_cw_readwrite.template and more
543      initialisation of never used fields
544      - replace mnc_common.h and mnc_id_header.h with corresponding upper case
545      versions
546    o pkg/thsice/thsice_ini_vars.F added default initial values so that
547      thermodynamics sea ice solver does not blow up when some initial fields
548      are missing.
549    o move from external_forcing_surf.F to ini_forcing.F
550      the p-coord. hack consisting in using pLoad to set phi0surf ;
551      update output of tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
552    o Freshen up a bit hs94.1x64x5, notably:
553      remove rotationPeriod and tRef=5*0. (adjoint only), and add
554      exactConserv=.TRUE.
555    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
556      change option GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT to GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV which only
557      applies to files where Temperature & Salinity 2nd Order moments are used.
558    o pkg/ptracers: add second-order moment advection schemes (80 and 81);
559      this uses a dynamically allocated internal state data structure
560      (#define PTRACERS_ALLOW_DYN_STATE in PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h)
561      and requires a fortran 90 compiler
562    
563    checkpoint59q
564    o pkg/mom_vecinv: Add energy & enstrophy conserving scheme (selectVortScheme=3)
565       (from Sadourny, described by Burridge & Haseler, ECMWF Rep.4, 1977)
566    o Refresh tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, notably:
567      - change bathymetry (put back seamounts in ACC, use hFacs)
568      - change EOS (POLY3 --> JMD95Z)
569      - use Bryan-Lewis vertical diffusivity
570      - use multidimensional advection
571      - remove old virtual virtual in dic pkg, now done through ptracer pkg
572      - change a couple of parameters in dic pkg
573    o pkg/ctrl: change formula in adctrl_bound.F and add a parameter to ctrl_map_ini_gen.F
574    o pkg/obcs: change default to OBCSfixTopo = .true.,
575      - set OBCSfixTopo=.false. in exp4/input/data.obcs to reproduce old result
576      - replace "debugMode" with "debugLevel .GE. debLevB"
577    o implementation of TAF directives for gchem,cfc,dic
578    o remove "exp5" (replaced by tutorial_deep_convection).
579    o pkg/obcs: add code to fix topography gradients normal to open boundaries;
580      this requires computing the index fields OB_Jn/Js/Ie/Iw in obcs_readparms;
581      the code can be turned on by setting OBCSfixTopo = .true. in data.obcs
582      --> changes results in exp4, seaice_obcs
583    o tutorial_deep_convection :
584      update the set-up and increase resolution and domain size ; start
585      from pseudo initial conditions = output at t=120mn in order to see
586      something happening when running testreport.
587    o pkg/seaice: add os7mp as an advection scheme
588                  add check for advection schemes
589                  add a flag for restoring T and S underneath sea ice
590    o pkg/my82: add netcdf-support and diagnostics
591    o thsice pkg:
592      - Now hsMax limits snow height by turning it into ice following
593        flooding scheme (and now conserving energy)
594      - Slight rewriting of the formula in thsice_calc_thick.F
595      - Parameter rhowi eliminated to be replaced by floodFac = (rhosw-rhoi)/rhos
596      --> changes results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn and global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
597    
598    checkpoint59p
599    o gchem / dic / cfc :
600      - add useDIC, useCFC , read from "data.gchem" (& hold in GCHEM.h);
601      - add new parameter files: "data.dic" & "data.cfc" ;
602      - various re-arrangement in initialisation & header file ;
603      - fix tutorial_global_oce_biogeo for multi-threaded test.
604    o pkg/dic: test for "pickup_dic" file when restarting ;
605      if no pickup-file, can restart with a re-initialised pH (same as it did
606      before) providing pickupStrictlyMatch is set to False.
607    o change argument list of S/R PTRACERS_WRITE_PICKUP & MYPACKAGE_WRITE_PICKUP
608      + fix call to S/R GGL90_WRITE_PICKUP & DIC_WRITE_PICKUP
609    o add a "warning" (to Error msg file) when an Active Tracer is not using AB-2
610      and staggerTimeStep is off (needed for stability of Internal-wave dynamics).
611    o move out of PARAMS.h & data the last pieces of old-ptracer code: tauTr1ClimRelax,
612     & lambdaTr1ClimRelax ; put those 2 params in PTRACERS_PARAMS.h & data.ptracers
613       (note: not clear to me what lambdaTr1ClimRelax is still used for ...)
614    o pkg/mom_vecinv: - new parameter "selectVortScheme" to select which
615       scheme to use for vorticty-term ;
616     - compute upwindVorticity=T case within mom_vi_u/v_coriolis_c4.F
617       (with default selectVortScheme, return to original discretisation)
618     - remove weird combination (e.g.: upwindVorticity & highOrderVorticity)
619    o pkg/seaice: add a line to the summary to indicate grid type (B/C)
620    o in mom_calc_visc, fix average value of viscAh_W & viscA4_W next to the
621      bottom ; only used with variable horizontal viscosity and non-hydrostatic.
622      also fix diagnostics VISCAHW & VISCA4W.
623    
624    checkpoint59o
625    o dome/code/obcs_calc.F: avoid division by zero (detected using gfortran).
626    o change the loop ordering in most gad_*_adv_x.F to improve vectorization:
627      move a few statemens out the main loop into separate loops
628    o pkg/shelfice:
629      - sort out freshwater flux; convert freshwater fluxes to mass fluxes
630        (kg/m^2/s), does not break tests, because in verification/isomip,
631        rhoConstFresh=rhoConst (by accident)
632      - rearrange computation of tLoc, sLoc, pLoc to make code more efficient
633      - move S/R find_rho_scalar, pkg/ecco/sw_ptmp.F, pkg/ecco/sw_adtg.F into
634        new file model/src/seawater.F, so that they are available for all pkgs.
635      - convert potential temperature into in-situ temperature. This changes the
636        isomip tests => update tests
637    o add a flag writePickupAtEnd (default=true) to be able to suppress
638      writing a pickup at the last timestep
639    o tools/mpack-1.6 :
640      - disable automake (not working) and autoconf (not needed).
641      - update to version 1.6.4 which fix MD5 code on some 64 bits platforms
642        also cleaner with much less compilation warnings.
643    o pkg/profiles:
644      rename profiles_interp_mean_genericgrid as profiles_interp_mean_gg
645      (for "less than 32 characters name" compiler requirement)
646    o pkg/obcs and pkg/exf: added capability to specify seaice open boundary
647      conditions that have a different sampling frequency than S/T/U/V obcs
648    o pkg/diagnostics (stats-diags):
649      - fix global Min/Max in case 1 processor get only empty tiles
650    o genmake2: replace (4 times)
651         make genmake_tc_1.o >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
652      with
653         COMM="$CC $CFLAGS -c genmake_tc_1.c"
654         echo $COMM >> genmake_warnings
655         $COMM >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
656      to make genmake2 always see the value of CC as specified in the optfile.
657    o generic_advdiff: - prather advection scheme (SOM) coded for CS-grid.
658      - add diagnostics for 1srt & 2nd Order moments and sub-grid variance.
659      - modify verification advect_cs test to test SOM-advection on CS-grid.
660    o pkg/ctrl:
661      - Rewrite of ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F,
662        introducing a generic routine (ctrl_map_ini_gen.F).
663      - Modification of ctrl_bound/adctrl_bound handling control vector bounds.
664    
665    checkpoint59n
666    o pkg/diagnostics: for large number of diagnostics, store diagnostic mate
667      number in dedicate array "hdiag":
668      - new version of S/R DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST : DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST
669        with 1 more argument (mate number); modify old version DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST.
670      - many small changes (integer format) for large number of diagnostics
671      - start to use DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST (necessary for diagnostics with
672        a counter mate) in pkg diagnostics, ptracers, thsice & aim_v23.
673    o add parameter rotateGrid and Euler angles EulerPhi/Theta/Psi. For
674      usingSphericalGrid, this allows to define the rotated grid coordinates
675      via phiMin/thetaMin/dxSpacing/dySpacing, etc., but then re-compute the
676      geographical coordinates according to the inverse of the rotation defined
677      by the Euler angles, so that Coriolis parameter and online-interpolation by
678      exf works with the geographical coordinates on XC/YC/XG/YG.
679      Naturally, this feature does not work with all packages, so some
680      combinations are prohibited in config_summary (flt, flt_zonal, ecco,
681      profiles), because there the coordinates are assumed to be regular
682      spherical grid coordinates.
683    o pkg/gmredi,ctrl,ecco,autodiff,grdchk and model/src,inc:
684      - introduce isopycnal diffusion coefficient control.
685    o tools/adjoint_options:
686      - additional control vector components.
687    o pkg/mnc: have mnc create marginally meaning full coordinate variables
688      (that is the grid indices) if usingCurvilinearGrid and NOT EXCH2
689    o pkg/mypackage:
690      - add example of read/write pickup for state-var ;
691      - add entry points to the main code for state-vars diags & write-pickup.
692    o pkg/exf: rewrite of exf_getffieldrec.F to properly deal with year
693      transitions for useExfYearlyFields
694      - add new subroutine that determines the file to read from for
695        use*YearlyFields = .TRUE. and .FALSE.
696      - add a verification experiment to global_with_exf that tests
697        useExfYearlyFields with USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION defined
698    o pkg/obcs/exf: add useOBCSYearlyFields (=.FALSE.) to obcs with exf in
699      analogy to useExfYearlyFields; rearrange obcs_prescribe_read: two new
700      subroutines (which could be generated from a template, because they are
701      almost identical), for now they are included in obcs_prescribe_read.F for
702      simplicity
703    o pkg/exf:
704      - add a little more diagnostic to exf_interp_read (in analogy to
705        mds_read_field, can be turned off with debugLevel < debugLevA=1)
706      - improve vectorizability of exf_interp for TARGET_NEC_SX, makes code
707        ugly but fast by unrolling short inner loops, inserting a unroll=8
708        directive in routine lagran, and splitting a loop and making do while the
709        outermost loop (the latter requires the intoduction of index arrays)
710    o pkg/obcs: replace obcs_apply_area/heff/hsalt/hsnow with obcs_apply_seaice
711    o pkg/seaice: moved DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE from seaice_model to seaice_dynsolver
712      http://forge.csail.mit.edu/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2008-January/003173.html
713    o verification/seaice_obcs: updated for restart test and latest options
714    o pkg/seaice: add a new flag SEAICEuseTEM to use a slightly different
715      ice rheology (so-called truncated ellipse, that gets rid of tensile stress);
716      for now this is only available for the C-grid code and also within
717      #ifdef SEAICE_ALLOW_TEM, because this option may slow down the EVP code
718    
719    checkpoint59m
720    o pkg/seaice: use different time constant for melting (SEAICE_gamma_t)
721      and freezing (SEAICE_gamma_t_frz) ice due to mixed layer temperature
722    o gad_som : fix flux output (& diagnostics) to have same units as other  
723      advection scheme fluxes (was previously multiplied by deltaT).  
724    o added verification/seaice_obcs both to test seaice open boundaries
725      and to provide an example matlab scrpt for generating them
726    o added verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume for testing pkg/salt_plume
727    o pkg/salt_plume: clean up salt_plume_frac.F to
728      remove redundancy in PlumeMethod 1 and 4
729    o pkg/kpp: added saltplume diagnostics
730    o pkg/obcs and pkg/seaice:
731      - do not set uice and vice to zero when OB*icefile are unspecified
732      - OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE is undefined by default
733      - moved seaice tracer obcs after call to seaice_growth
734    o pkg/salt_plume: added various options for salt plume depth
735      criterion and for vertical distribution of the salt
736    
737    checkpoint59l
738    o pkg/ptracers: new version of ptracers pickup:
739      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
740      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
741    o pkg/seaice:
742      - add timescale for melting due to warm mixed layer as a means of
743        setting SEAICE_availHeatFrac more conveniently
744      - add a CPP-flag/runtime parameter check for flooding algorithm
745      - reformulated availHeat in seaice_growth.F to be independent of AREA
746    o change units attribute of EmPmR netcdf variables to kg/m^2/s to reflect recent
747      unit changes
748    o pkg/obcs: added OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE constraint
749    o cg2d.F: add 3 compiler directives that speed up this routine by 30% on a NEC
750      SX vector computer.
751    o pkg/seaice:
752      - removed SEAICE_FFIELDS.h and seaice_get_forcing.F
753        seaice forcing fields can now be read only through pkg/exf
754      - removed some unused halos
755    o no longer write pickup from THE_MODEL_MAIN but always from FORWARD_STEP
756    o pkg/exf: added useRelativeWind EXF_PARAM.h option for subtracting U/VVEL
757      or U/VICE from U/VWIND before computing U/VSTRESS
758    
759    checkpoint59k
760    o pkg/seaice: ICE2WATR=SEAICE_rhoIce/rhoConst for consistency between
761      dynamics and thermodynamics. Set ICE2WATR=0.92 to reproduce older results.
762    o fix un-initialised variable problem (in mom_vecinv & shap_filt):
763      all experiments pass when compile with un-initialised var. checking option.
764    o added pkg/salt_plume
765    o script to test restart (for now, in MITgcm_contrib/jmc_script)
766    o pkg/seaice: new read/write pickup version.
767      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
768      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
769    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in seaice_ocean_stress (call of seaice_calc_strainrates)
770    o lab_sea.hb87: modify the domain & update output.hb87.txt :
771      lat-long grid & no-slip BC in seaice-dynamics produce different sigma12
772      at j=1 & j=Ny+1 : this case is not treated correctly in the restart
773      process. Fixed here by closing the domain at the Northern boundary.
774    o pkg/rw: cleaning-up: call directly new MDSIO S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD.
775    o pkg/mdsio: add new arguments to MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD for reading/writing
776      a set of consecutive levels in/from a 3-D array.
777    o pkg/ptracers:
778      use a 2 characters string ioLabel to identify tracer (if more than 99 tracers).
779      to-do: fix pkg/diagnostics when large number of diagnostics are defined.
780    
781    checkpoint59j
782    o in pkgs: dic, obcs, offline, rbcs:
783      standard way to compute coeff. for time interpolation between 2 time reccords
784      which retains full precision (& make results less dependent on compiler).
785      update output of exp: tutorial_cfc_offline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
786    o pkg/cfc: if compiled with exf and seaice, cfc now can use fields from those
787      packages instead of reading ice cover and wind speed separately
788    o split PTRACERS.h in 2 header files: PTRACERS_FIELDS.h & PTRACERS_PARAMS.h
789     (keep a temporary version of PTRACERS.h in verification/OpenAD/code_ad_openad
790      to allow to compile customized code before the update)
791    o cleaning-up:
792      - fix CPP instruction syntax in pkg/obcs
793      - replace (some) call to MDSIO S/R with call to RW interface S/R ; and
794        add #ifdef ALLOW_MDSIO elsewhere (allows to compile without pkg/mdsio)
795      - fix some threads issue in IO parts.
796    o pkg/dic:
797      - add tons of "_d 0" (--> much better testreports !)
798       and then update outputs of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
799    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
800      add a special version of momentum advection intended to conserve momentum
801      next to a bathymetry step or a coastline edge. (default = off = #undef)
802    o new read/write pickup version:
803      - for now, only implemented for main (mdsio) pickup file.
804      - write out only what is needed to restart; merge pickup_nh , pickup_ph
805        and main pickup together.
806      - read meta file; read only what is needed to restart; stop if a field
807        is missing (if pickupStrictlyMatch=T, = the default) or try to restart
808        if it make sense (even if the restart is not perfect).
809      - if no meta file, assume that pickup to read corresponds exactly to
810        a pickup that would currently be written.
811      - read pickup written in the old format (until checkpoint59i) if it
812        recognizes an old meta file (no field-list).
813      - add a meta file in exp. which starts from a pickup: 2 cases:
814        a) minimal meta file (with just file precision) + pickupStrictlyMatch=F
815         e.g.: global_ocean.90x40x15/input/pickup.0000036000.meta
816        b) a meta file describing the content of the associated pickup file
817         e.g.: tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/input/pickup.0004248000.meta
818    o pkg/mdsio & pkg/rw:
819      - new routine to read a meta file ; new set of routine to read
820        Multiple-fields file (with meta file).
821    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice
822        HSNOW, HSALT, UICE, and VICE
823    
824    checkpoint59i
825    o adjoint:
826      * fix multiDimAdvection adjoint
827        (partial recomputation problem by TAF for fVerT(:,:,kDown)
828        and comlev1 size definition (maxpass vs. max. number of tracers)
829      * verification/global_ocean.90x45x15 adjoint now tests
830        NLFS and multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
831      * verification/lab_sea now tests multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
832    o pkg/kpp: add "_d 0" to real constant (if missing);
833      update output of exp: natl_box (10.digits); vermix (std, 7.digits)
834      and lab_sea, 3.FW (only 6,4,6 digits match) & AD (8.digits).
835    o prepare for "clever pickup" implementation: add new header file "RESTART.h"
836      for internal parameters related to restart process (formerly from PARAMS.h)
837      and add startAB parameter to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
838    o more standard interface to {PKG}_WRITE_PICKUP with pickup suffix passed
839      as argument. (only atm2d & obcs write_pickup have not yet been updated)
840    o pkg/monitor:
841      - use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE instead of _GLOBAL_SUM
842      - fix mon_stats_rs (statistics over the full domain, even where field is zero)
843      - account for deep Atmosphere factor and density factor (anelastic)
844    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice HEFF and AREA
845    o pkg/shelfice: add option for convservative form of Hellmer&Olbers (1989)
846      thermodynamics
847      - requires a little reorganization, which affects the testreport results
848        of isomip.htd (only 7 digits of cg2d agree) => update/modify experiment,
849        so that now the conservative form is tested
850      - add a few comments
851    o add missing cvs Header: or Name: in eesupp/*, pkg/* & verification/code*
852    o add a little bit of code to gad_os7mp_adv_?.F to help vectorization
853    o add new diagnostics to seaice: advective, diffusive fluxes (only for
854      multidim-advection, for scheme 2 they are not filled) and transports,
855      thermodynamic growth rates
856    o change units of EmPmR (inside the code, + within coupling interface)
857      from m/s to kg/m2/s (mass flux) but leave input file unchanged.
858      Affects results @ truncation level (cg2d match) and update output of
859       experiments: lab_sea(6), global_ocean.90x40x15(10),
860      global_ocean.cs32x15(11x3,10), natl_box(11), tutorial_global_oce_latlon(11)
861      + adjoint results: global_ocean_ebm(11) and lab_sea (12).
862      Coupled set-up: allow to restart from previous pickups (cpl_oldPickup=T).
863      Next: will retire convertEmP2rUnit (simply using mass2rUnit instead).
864    
865    checkpoint59h
866    o pkg/exf:
867      - improve vectorization by moving if-statement out of loops in
868        exf_mapfields, exf_radiation
869      - exf_bulkformulae.F: introduce 2D fields and vectorize code
870    o pkg/kpp: added the salt plume scheme (ALLOW_SALT_PLUME) to KPP package
871    o testreport:
872      - allow to test for Qnet & SeaIce monitor output; clean-up ALLOW_BULK_OFFLINE
873        monitor & update offline_exf_seaice exp. output.
874      - AD testing: pass/FAIL according to Grad. output accuracy (instead of Cost)
875    o pkg/seaice:
876      - bug fix in the evp solver: boundary conditions were affected be
877        masking of zMax/zMin (changes results)
878      - minor bug fix in boundary conditions in seaice_calc_strainrates
879        (changes results for no_slip)
880      - seaice_lsr.F: make interpolation of eta dependent on boundaries
881      - replace hardcoded lower limit for zeta (zMin) by runtime parameter
882      - add a test to lab_sea, that tests the Hibler and Bryan (1987) ocean
883        stress formulation and no-slip boundary conditions
884    o pkg/ptracers: Temporary fix for PTRACERS_useGMRedi & PTRACERS_useKPP
885      in gad_calc_rhs.F ; add few safety stops in initialisation phase.
886    o pkg/seaice: a first HSALT time stepping equation has been checked in
887    o pkg/seaice: replaced maskW with seaiceMaskU and maskS with seaiceMaskV
888      in seaice_lsr.F; this solves the pkg/seaice-pkg/obcs problem
889      without requiring DO-IF statements
890    o pkg/thsice:
891      use continuous power-law function for partition of energy between lateral
892      melting/freezing and thinning/thickening ; old code using step function
893      still available with #undef THSICE_FRACEN_POWERLAW
894      update output of exp: aim.5l_cs.thSI, global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn & .thsice
895    o testreport: change AD testing : check against results/output_adm.txt
896      using same scripts as for forward test.
897    
898    checkpoint59g
899    o adjoint testing: in preparation for changing testreport:
900      - output format: cost and grad written on separated lines
901      - ad output results in directory "results" (instead of "results_ad")
902    o pkg/seaice: adding ice salinity HSALT as a prognostic variable
903    o pkg/seaice: changes for using pkg/seaice with pkg/obcs
904    o pkg/ecco: allow user defined cost function contributions
905    o testreport:
906      Allow to choose (per experiment) the list of tested output variables
907       and the main variable (used to issue a pass/FAIL ) ;
908      - for now, done by adding the specific list in file: [exp]/input/tr_checklist
909      - default is unchanged: >cg2d< , (T,S,U,V,5 tracers)_[min,max,mean,StD] ;
910      Also modify printing of summary:
911       a) ">" NN "<" indicates the "main" variable (used for pass/FAIL)
912       b) echo the list of tested variables in the individual summary.txt of
913          each experiment.
914    o new S/R GLOBAL_SUM_TILE to compute global sum independently of number of
915      threads and number of processes (with #define GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV)
916      (but still depend on the tile decompostion of the domain).
917    o pkg/seaice: change a discretization detail to make the B-grid code
918      "more symmetric". This change is likely to remove all "ridges/leads" that
919      where quasi-aligned with the grid in B-grid solutions. It may also be
920      the solution to the stress coupling issues with the B-grid.
921    o each tested exp: add a "run" directory with a standard ".cvsignore" file ;
922      remove .cvsignore from input dir. (since testreport no longer run here).
923    o pkg/thsice:
924     - cleaning: move common block out of "THSICE_2DYN.h" (removed) to "THSICE_VARS.h"
925     - fix reshaping of sea-ice just after advection:
926       melt all the ice only if ice-volume is too small.
927     - re-visit lateral/thinning repartition of melting (modifs from May 04, 2007):
928       prevent lateral melting if sea-ice fraction is too close to iceMaskMin ;
929     and update experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (+start from pickup files).
930    o external_forcing_surf : extend the use of salt_EvPrRn & temp_EvPrRn (fresh-water
931      tracer content) to linFS or no RealFreshWaterFlux ; default remains unchanged.
932    o define mass2rUnit & rUnit2mass as units conversion factor, used for surface
933      forcing. mass2rUnit: from mass per unit area [kg/m2] to r-coordinate unit
934      (z-coord: =1/rhoConst ; p-coord: =gravity) ; rUnit2mass is just the reverse;
935      and remove horiVertRatio (& recip_horiVertRatio). Affects truncation error
936      of exp. global_oce_in_p: 10 16 16 14 16 13 16 16 16 13 13 13 16 13 13 12 16
937      -> update output.txt
938    o pkg/cd_code: add brackets in multiple terms sum (S/R CD_CODE_SCHEME):
939     this affects truncation error: -> update output.txt of exp:
940      global_ocean.90x40x15 (fw&adm), lab_sea (fw&adm) & lab_sea.lsr,
941      ideal_2D_oce, isomip.htd, natl_box, tutorial_global_oce_latlon.
942    
943    checkpoint59f
944    o pkg/autodiff: zero_adj resets an ajoint variable to zero (in adjoint mode)
945    o pkg/ctrl: ctrl_bound  forces parameter corrections to stay in
946      a bounded range (in forward mode)
947    o pkg/ecco, ctrl, autodiff and mom_common:
948     internal parameter controls, completements of implementations
949    o add few EXCH S/R (UV_BGRID, UV_DGRID, SM) for B & D-Grid velocity & 2nd Moment Sxy.
950    o use UV_BGRID exch for dxV,dyU: for now, only with pkg/exch2 & forward ;
951      (not seem any difference in testing results).
952    o pkg/cd_code: use the right EXCH calls (for CS-grid); but problem remains
953       at face corners.
954    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
955     - in GAD.h, define as parameters (iMinAdvR,iMaxAdvR,jMinAdvR,jMaxAdvR)
956      loop range indices for computing vertical advection tendency
957      and do the calculation in the interior only (no overlap) ;
958      for now, only implemented for SOM advection (to save CPU time).
959     - add argument "withSigns" to S/R FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL (needed for SOM_xy moment)
960    o exch2 adjoint
961      First set of changes:
962      - add exch2 hand-written adjoint templates
963      - exch2 hand-written no longer use TAF-flag 'nownew_arg'
964        This will require cleanup in pkg/autodiff/*.F
965        (changed routines currently kept separate in verif. code/)
966      - Comment all relevant #ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
967        that used to hide exch2 or cubed-sphere specific code
968        (commented via 'cph-exch2')
969    o pkg/seaice
970      - Close southern and western boundaries for UICE/VICE when useOBCS=.TRUE.
971    o pkg/bulk_force: fix loading into Qsw of Short-Wave flux; and update
972       output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice .
973    
974    checkpoint59e
975    o exch2: new S/R that only use the cube-tracer (center-position) exchange:
976      for B-grid vector (not yet tested) and C-grid vector (<- only used
977      when option W2_USE_R1_ONLY in W2_OPTIONS.h is defined).
978    o starting implementation of Duffy et al. (GRL 1999) salt plume scheme
979      (#ifdef ALLOW_SALT_PLUME)
980    o gather_2d/scatter_2d: removed halo regions
981    o gmredi: add option (GM_taper_scheme='fm07') for Ferrari & McWilliams 2007
982      scheme and the corresponding test case (under front_relax dir). For now,
983      only available with Skew-flux form and not yet tested in realistic set-up.
984      adjoint: store directives updated, but gradient checks deteriorated,
985      so maybe GM/Redi adjoint is now broken.
986    o seaice adjoint
987      * add AREA, HEFF, HSNOW as control variable
988        (should not change lab_sea results)
989      * CTRL_OPTIONS.h needs new flag: CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_40
990    o pkg/seaice:
991      * added computation of saltFlux in seaice_growth;
992        For time being, sea ice salinity is assumed constant
993        contribution of snow flooding to freshening of sea ice is neglected.
994        SEAICE_salinity is set in SEAICE_PARM01 of data.seaice and it
995        defaults to 0.0 in order to maintain backward compatibility.
996        Typical values for SEAICE_salinity are 4 to 10 g/kg.
997      * replaced dRf(1) with dRf(kSurface)*hFacC(kSurface) in seaice_growth.F
998      * added SEAICE_availHeatFrac, which specifies fraction of surface level
999        heat content used to melt or grow ice
1000      * commented out cap of HICE: it helps keep ice thinner
1001      * reintroduced cap of HEFF via MAX_HEFF and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF option
1002      * applied OBCS T/S mask to HEFFM sea ice mask
1003    
1004    checkpoint59d
1005    o standard name: {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_STATE to fill diagnostics array
1006     for {PKG} state variables, and called from DO_STATEVARS_DIAGS.
1007     (keep {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_FILL for non-state variables diagnostics)
1008    o pkg/gmredi (gmredi_readparms.F): add some missing "_d 0"
1009     and change default value of parameter "GM_Small_Number";
1010     update output of exp: lab_sea (x2), cfc_example, global_ocean.90x40x15,
1011       global_ocean.cs32x15 (x4), global_ocean_ebm, global_with_exf,  
1012       tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_global_oce_latlon
1013    o pkg/ecco: cost function when applying pkg/smooth to controls
1014    o pkg/ctrl: add forcingPrecond run time parameter
1015    o pkg/seaice:
1016     - replace ZMIN=4.e8 with ZMIN=0. in dynsolver.F as in C-grid code
1017     - fix bug in metric terms of u-equation in LSR solver (implicit part),
1018       changes verification/lab_sea
1019     - rearrange implicit part of u-equation in LSR solver to make it easier to
1020       read, understand, and debug. This causes changes at the truncation level.
1021     - fix (serious) bug in the boundary conditions (sign error in the implicit
1022       part) of the LSR solver. Changes all LSR results.
1023     - fixed problem with HSNOW initialization to avoid thick snow when AREA
1024       is initilized with small values - does not change lab_sea results.
1025     - added HsnowFile initialization capability
1026    o pkg/smooth: addition to model/src and pkg/ctrl so allow
1027     initialization of pkg/smooth and application to control vector
1028    o pkg/seaice: fix another bug in the LSR no-slip boundary conditons
1029    o dependencies: pkg/profiles requires pkg/cal
1030    o pkg/profiles:
1031     - added option ALLOW_PROFILES_GENERICGRID
1032         -> pkg/profiles can thus be used with any grid (e.g. cs32x15) assuming
1033         that interpolation information (grid points and coefficients) is provided
1034         within the netcdf input files.
1035         -> sample matlab scripts can be found in MITgcm_contrib/gael
1036         that allow you to prepare netcdf input files.
1037     - also modified: cleaner include statements, cleaner error print statements,
1038       cleaner stops when error, and more tests of the netcdf input files consistency.
1039    o additional test (in global_ocean.cs32x15) using seaice+thsice pkgs.
1040    o pkg/seaice:
1041     - move seaice-diagnostics from seaice_do_diags to do_statevars_diags; this
1042       requires a new routine: seaice_diagnostics_fill.F
1043     - make sure that seaice does not move if not forced (pressure replacement
1044       method, Hibler and Ip, 1995), changes results
1045     - and new damping criterion for EVP solver according to Hunke, JCP, 2001
1046     - SEAICE_evpDampC = > 0. turns it on (615. is the recommended value).
1047       It is turned off by default (=-1.), because it changes the results.
1048     - make it possible to read AREA from a file, too.
1049    
1050    checkpoint59c
1051    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
1052    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
1053    o pkg/thsice:
1054     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
1055      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
1056    o pkg/obcs:
1057     - bug fix for balance code
1058    o pkg/seaice:
1059      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
1060      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
1061        to SEAICE_elasticParm
1062      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
1063      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
1064      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
1065      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
1066    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
1067      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
1068        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
1069        clipping or linear tappering.
1070      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
1071      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
1072        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
1073      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
1074    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
1075    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
1076      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
1077    o adjoint:
1078      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
1079      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
1080      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
1081      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
1082    
1083    checkpoint59b
1084    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
1085      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
1086    o pkg/seaice:
1087      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
1088        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
1089      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
1090      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
1091      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
1092        better
1093    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
1094      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
1095    o pkg/exf:
1096      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
1097      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
1098      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
1099      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
1100        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
1101    o pkg/seaice:
1102      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
1103      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
1104        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
1105    o pkg/exf:
1106      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
1107      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
1108      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
1109        to the main code ;
1110      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
1111        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
1112        previous code.
1113        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
1114      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
1115    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
1116      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
1117        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
1118      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
1119        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
1120      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
1121      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
1122    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
1123      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
1124      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
1125        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
1126        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
1127     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
1128      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
1129        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
1130      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
1131        by ice & snow emissivity.
1132    o pkg/thsice:
1133     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
1134      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
1135      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
1136      and in thsice_extend.F:
1137      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
1138      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
1139     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
1140      and cpl_aim+ocn
1141    o pkg/kpp
1142     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
1143       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
1144     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
1145     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
1146     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
1147       be the best fix)
1148    o pkg/seaice
1149     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
1150     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
1151    o OpenAD
1152     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
1153    
1154    checkpoint59a
1155    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
1156    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
1157       himin       -> hIceMin
1158       himin0      -> hThinIce
1159       hihig       -> hThickIce
1160       i0          -> i0swFrac
1161       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
1162       frac_energy -> fracMelting
1163      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
1164       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
1165      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
1166    o in FFIELDS.h:
1167      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
1168      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
1169         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
1170    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
1171    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
1172        3D diffusivity arrays are used; pkg/kpp/kpp_calc_diff_s & _t.F
1173        are no longer updating the vertical diffusivity array
1174        (passed as argument) but are (re-) setting those arrays.
1175    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
1176      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
1177        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
1178      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
1179      - the above changes lab_sea results
1180      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
1181        may follow
1182      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
1183      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
1184        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
1185        of choosing it)
1186      - add principal stress diagnostics
1187      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
1188        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
1189        not have.
1190      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
1191        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
1192        in all cases)
1193    o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
1194      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
1195    
1196    checkpoint59
1197    o pkg/exf:
1198      - fix wind-stress location: defined on A-grid (if ALLOW_ATM_WIND &
1199        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE or USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION), otherwise, defined on C-grid
1200      - move exf header files from lower_case.h to UPPER_CASE.h ;
1201        add missing cvs Header & Name
1202      - add adjoint routines and flow dirs for newly used exch_uv_agrid routines
1203      - add namelist param. selectStressGridPosition, exf_monFreq
1204      - retire many _CLIM routines, and remove data.exf_clim
1205        + params moved to data.exf
1206        + climsst, climsss now handled by exf_set_gen, i.e.
1207          climss?period=0 refers to constant field,
1208          climss?period=-12 to monthly forcing
1209      - split up namelists in data.exf
1210    o pkg/seaice:
1211      - remove seaice_exch and seaice_exch_uv
1212      - remove superfluous exchange of theta
1213      - add myThid to seaice_budget_ocean/ice
1214      - add new interface for atmospheric wind forcing (C-grid only)
1215        + new routine
1216        + two new field (taux, tauy for stress over ice)
1217        + removed one global field (DAIRN) for C-grid case only
1218    o pkg/thsise
1219      - 2nd set of modifs for thsice adjoint in conjunction with exf
1220    o enable runtime flag useEXF (useCAL is set to .T. if useEXF=.T.)
1221    
1222    checkpoint58y_post
1223    o Added capability for latitudinal dependence of Bryan and Lewis, 1979
1224      vertical diffusivity, similar to that in MOM4; turned on using
1225      #define ALLOW_BL79_LAT_VARY in CPP_OPTIONS.h and specified using
1226      diffKrBL79*, diffKrBLEQ*, and BL79LatVary in runtime data file.
1227    o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
1228      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
1229      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
1230      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
1231    o ice dynamics (pkg/seaice) with thsice thermodynamics:
1232      - add code within pkg thsice to advect & diffuse sea-ice fields
1233      similar to (and will replace) what has been added in  seaice_advdiff.F,
1234      but: - conserving Mass, Heat & Salt.
1235           - better when using non-linear advection scheme (not yet fully tested)
1236           - can also be used in atmospheric set-up (for now, only the diffusion).
1237    
1238    checkpoint58x_post
1239    o IO option for global-file compact format:
1240      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
1241      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
1242      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
1243      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
1244    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
1245    
1246    checkpoint58w_post
1247    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
1248      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
1249      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
1250      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
1251                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
1252    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
1253      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
1254    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
1255     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
1256     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
1257       mass points to avoid tau = 0
1258     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
1259    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
1260    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
1261      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
1262    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
1263    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
1264    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
1265      to all packages
1266    
1267    checkpoint58v_post
1268    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
1269      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
1270    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
1271    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
1272      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
1273    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
1274      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
1275      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
1276    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
1277      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
1278    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
1279     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
1280     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
1281     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
1282       and serious testing.
1283     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
1284       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
1285    
1286    checkpoint58u_post
1287    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
1288    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
1289    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
1290    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
1291      momentum calculation.
1292    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
1293    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
1294      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
1295      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
1296    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
1297      Linear Free surface
1298    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
1299    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
1300    
1301    checkpoint58t_post
1302    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
1303    o pkg/mdsio:
1304     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
1305       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
1306       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
1307     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
1308     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
1309       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
1310     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
1311       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
1312     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
1313    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
1314       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
1315      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
1316       diagnostic pointer.
1317    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
1318    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
1319    o fix multi-category seaice:
1320     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
1321       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
1322     - fix short wave heat flux
1323    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
1324       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
1325       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
1326    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
1327      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
1328      * used C-grid and EVP solver
1329      * used KPP, GM/Redi
1330      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
1331      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
1332        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
1333        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
1334        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
1335    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
1336     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
1337     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
1338     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
1339       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
1340     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
1341     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
1342       as atemp, etc.
1343    
1344    checkpoint58s_post
1345    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
1346      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
1347        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
1348        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
1349    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
1350      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
1351      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
1352        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
1353        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
1354        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
1355        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
1356        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
1357    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
1358    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
1359      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
1360    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
1361    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
1362    
1363    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
1364      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
1365      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
1366      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
1367      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
1368      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
1369      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
1370      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
1371      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
1372      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
1373    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
1374      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
1375      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
1376      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
1377    
1378    checkpoint58r_post
1379    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
1380      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
1381      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
1382      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
1383    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
1384    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
1385      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
1386    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
1387      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
1388    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
1389      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
1390      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
1391    o multi-threading and IO:
1392      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
1393      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
1394        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
1395    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
1396      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
1397    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
1398      (will certainly be subject to changes)
1399    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
1400      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
1401    
1402    checkpoint58q_post
1403    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
1404      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
1405      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
1406    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
1407      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
1408      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
1409    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
1410      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
1411    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
1412    
1413    checkpoint58p_post
1414    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
1415    o shelfice:
1416     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
1417     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
1418       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
1419       stable
1420    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
1421    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
1422      and updated flow directives
1423    
1424    checkpoint58o_post
1425    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
1426      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
1427    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
1428      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
1429    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
1430    o simplify EXCH interface:
1431     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
1432     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
1433    o added the regrid package
1434    o shelfice:
1435     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
1436     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
1437    
1438    checkpoint58n_post
1439    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
1440       local variable (not in common block).
1441    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
1442      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
1443      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
1444        to work with SingleCpuIO.
1445    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
1446       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
1447    o multi-threading and IO:
1448      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
1449        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
1450      - barrier before and after reading.
1451      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
1452      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
1453      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
1454        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
1455    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
1456      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
1457    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
1458    
1459    checkpoint58m_post
1460    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
1461       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
1462    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
1463       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
1464       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
1465    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
1466        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
1467    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
1468    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
1469    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
1470    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
1471      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
1472    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
1473    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
1474      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
1475      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
1476    o calc_gw:
1477     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
1478     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
1479       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
1480    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
1481    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
1482      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
1483      truncation level, 11 digits).
1484    
1485    checkpoint58l_post
1486    o calc_gw:
1487     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
1488     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
1489     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
1490    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
1491      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
1492    o pkg/ecco:
1493      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
1494        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
1495      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
1496      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
1497        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
1498      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
1499        including separate counting and multipliers
1500    o pkg/rbcs
1501      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
1502    
1503    checkpoint58k_post
1504    o testreport:
1505     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
1506       & running in input)
1507     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
1508     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
1509     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
1510    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
1511       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
1512       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
1513       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
1514    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
1515     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
1516       end of the routine.
1517    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
1518      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
1519    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
1520    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
1521    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
1522    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
1523      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
1524    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
1525       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
1526    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
1527    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
1528    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
1529       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
1530    o tracer advection:
1531     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
1532     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
1533       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
1534    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
1535    
1536    checkpoint58j_post
1537    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
1538      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
1539    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
1540    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
1541    o genmake2
1542      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
1543    
1544    checkpoint58i_post
1545    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
1546      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
1547    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
1548      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
1549    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
1550      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
1551    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
1552    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
1553    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
1554      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
1555        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
1556      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
1557    
1558    checkpoint58h_post
1559    * Modifications for bottom topography control
1560      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
1561      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
1562      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
1563      o update autodiff support routines
1564      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
1565      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
1566    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
1567    
1568    checkpoint58g_post
1569    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
1570       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
1571       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
1572    o pkg/ggl90:
1573      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
1574      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
1575    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
1576      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
1577      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
1578      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
1579      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
1580        desired results either
1581    o pkg/seaice
1582      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
1583    
1584    checkpoint58f_post
1585    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
1586      to pkg/seaice):
1587      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
1588      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
1589    o pkg/exf:
1590      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
1591      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
1592      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
1593      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
1594        exf_radiation, exf_wind
1595      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
1596        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
1597      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
1598        either wind from stress or stress from wind
1599    o pkg/thSIce:
1600    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
1601    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
1602       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
1603    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
1604    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
1605      to make debugging easier.
1606    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
1607    o pkg/bulk_force:
1608      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
1609      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
1610    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
1611      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
1612    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
1613      testreport accordingly
1614    
1615    checkpoint58e_post
1616    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
1617    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
1618      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
1619      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
1620    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
1621      to be able to use it in pure forward.
1622    
1623    checkpoint58d_post
1624    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
1625     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
1626      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
1627      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
1628      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
1629      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
1630      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
1631      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
1632      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
1633      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
1634      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
1635     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
1636    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
1637    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
1638      with larger stencil

1641      completeness
1642    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
1643      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h

1648      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
1649    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
1650      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
1651    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
1652      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
1653    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
1654    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
1655      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
1656    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
1657    o new package prifiles:
1658      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
1659      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
1660    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
1661      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
1662    
1663    checkpoint58c_post
1664    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
1665      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
1666    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
1667      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
1668      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
1669      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
1670    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
1671      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
1672    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
1673    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
1674      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
1675      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
1676    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
1677      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
1678    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
1679      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
1680    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
1681    o seaice:
1682      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
1683      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
1684        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
1685      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
1686      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
1687        C-grid solver
1688      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
1689      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
1690        are now exclusive)
1691      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
1692        required re-ordering the code a little:
1693       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
1694       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
1695         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
1696    
1697    checkpoint58b_post
1698    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
1699      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
1700    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
1701      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
1702      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
1703      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
1704    o adjoint:
1705      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
1706      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
1707    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
1708     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
1709      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
1710     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
1711    o ecco
1712      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
1713    o adjoint
1714      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
1715      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
1716      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
1717        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
1718    o seaice:
1719     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
1720       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
1721         and ostres
1722       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
1723         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
1724         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
1725     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
1726     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
1727       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
1728       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
1729       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
1730    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
1731      include it only where its needed
1732    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
1733    o seaice:
1734      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
1735      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
1736      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
1737    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
1738      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
1739    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
1740    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
1741      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
1742    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
1743      (since checkpoint57x_post)
1744    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
1745    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
1746      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
1747    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
1748      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
1749      pkg/generic_advdiff
1750    o seaice:
1751      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
1752        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
1753        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
1754      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
1755      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
1756      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
1757        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
1758      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
1759      
1760    checkpoint58a_post
1761    o seaice:
1762      - bug fix in advect.F
1763    o shelfice:
1764      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
1765        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
1766        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
1767        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
1768        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
1769        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
1770        deep-reaching shelfice.
1771      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
1772      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
1773        now the default
1774      - give a few constants more intuitive names
1775    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
1776      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
1777      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
1778      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
1779      STDOUT.
1780    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
1781    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
1782      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
1783     - works
1784     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
1785              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
1786                instead of new field kTopC
1787              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
1788                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
1789                and ini_mask_etc.F?
1790              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
1791    o seaice pkg:
1792     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
1793       freezing point of sea water at the surface
1794     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
1795       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
1796    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
1797       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
1798       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
1799    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
1800       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
1801       (might add other options later)
1802    o pkg/bulk_force:
1803     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
1804     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
1805       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
1806       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
1807     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
1808     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
1809     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
1810       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
1811     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
1812    
1813    checkpoint58
1814    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
1815      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
1816      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
1817      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
1818      - requested by CNH but off by default
1819      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
1820      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
1821    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
1822      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
1823      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
1824      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
1825    
1826    checkpoint57z_post
1827    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
1828      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
1829    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
1830    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
1831    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
1832      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
1833    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
1834    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
1835         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
1836    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
1837         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
1838      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
1839      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
1840          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
1841          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
1842      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
1843          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
1844          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
1845      * 3 cases:
1846          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
1847          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
1848          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
1849    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
1850      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
1851      * enable at compile-time via
1852        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
1853      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
1854      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
1855      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
1856    
1857    checkpoint57y_post
1858    First step for a NLFS adjoint
1859    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
1860    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
1861    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
1862    o testreport seemed happy
1863    checkpoint57y_pre
1864    
1865    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
1866    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
1867    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
1868    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
1869    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
1870      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
1871    
1872    checkpoint57x_post
1873    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
1874    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
1875      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
1876      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
1877    o Non-Hydrostatic:
1878     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
1879     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
1880    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
1881     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
1882     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
1883       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
1884     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
1885    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
1886    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
1887    o adjoint
1888      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
1889        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
1890      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
1891    
1892    checkpoint57w_post
1893    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
1894                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
1895       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
1896    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
1897      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
1898    o tracer advection scheme:
1899      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
1900       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
1901       was not very convenient).
1902      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
1903       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
1904    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
1905      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
1906      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
1907      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
1908    
1909    checkpoint57v_post
1910    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
1911    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
1912      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
1913      identical results for a few days of testing
1914    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
1915      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
1916      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
1917      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
1918       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
1919    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
1920      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
1921      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
1922    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
1923      and for passive tracers
1924    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
1925      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
1926      file).
1927    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
1928      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
1929    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
1930      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
1931       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
1932      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
1933    
1934    checkpoint57u_post
1935    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
1936      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
1937        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
1938        are treated
1939      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
1940        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
1941      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
1942        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
1943        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
1944        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
1945        with EXF)
1946    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
1947    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
1948      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
1949    
1950    checkpoint57t_post
1951    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
1952    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
1953      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
1954      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
1955    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
1956      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
1957    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
1958      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
1959    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
1960    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
1961    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
1962      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
1963    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
1964      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
1965      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
1966    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
1967      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
1968      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
1969      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
1970      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
1971      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
1972    
1973    checkpoint57s_post
1974    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
1975      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
1976      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
1977      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
1978      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
1979      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
1980      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
1981      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
1982    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
1983    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
1984      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
1985      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
1986      they did before.
1987    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
1988      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
1989    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
1990    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
1991    o various changes to mnc including:
1992      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
1993      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
1994          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
1995      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
1996          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
1997      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
1998    
1999    checkpoint57r_post
2000    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
2001    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
2002    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
2003    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
2004    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
2005      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
2006    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
2007      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
2008    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
2009    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
2010    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
2011    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
2012    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
2013      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
2014      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
2015      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
2016    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
2017      (see README file)
2018    
2019    checkpoint57q_post
2020    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
2021    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
2022      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
2023    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
2024      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
2025    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
2026      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
2027      to be able to limit tapelev size
2028    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
2029      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
2030      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
2031      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
2032    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
2033      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
2034      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
2035    
2036    checkpoint57p_post
2037    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
2038    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
2039      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
2040    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
2041    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
2042      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
2043       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
2044      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
2045     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
2046      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
2047      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
2048      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
2049    
2050    checkpoint57o_post
2051    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
2052      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
2053    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
2054      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
2055    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
2056      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
2057      (worth another tag)
2058    
2059    checkpoint57n_post
2060    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
