4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7  o adding precip control xx_precip  o pkg/profiles:
8  o moved ptracer ctrl index 17 -> 32   - added option ALLOW_PROFILES_GENERICGRID
9         -> pkg/profiles can thus be used with any grid (e.g. cs32x15) assuming
10         that interpolation information (grid points and coefficients) is provided
11         within the netcdf input files.
12         -> sample matlab scripts can be found in MITgcm_contrib/gael
13         that allow you to prepare netcdf input files.
14     - also modified: cleaner include statements, cleaner error print statements,
15       cleaner stops when error, and more tests of the netcdf input files consistency.
16    
17    o additional test (in global_ocean.cs32x15) using seaice+thsice pkgs.
18    o pkg/seaice:
19     - move seaice-diagnostics from seaice_do_diags to do_statevars_diags; this
20       requires a new routine: seaice_diagnostics_fill.F
21     - make sure that seaice does not move if not forced (pressure replacement
22       method, Hibler and Ip, 1995), changes results
23     - and new damping criterion for EVP solver according to Hunke, JCP, 2001
24     - SEAICE_evpDampC = > 0. turns it on (615. is the recommended value).
25       It is turned off by default (=-1.), because it changes the results.
26     - make it possible to read AREA from a file, too.
27    
28    checkpoint59c
29    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
30    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
31    o pkg/thsice:
32     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
33      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
34    o pkg/obcs:
35     - bug fix for balance code
36    o pkg/seaice:
37      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
38      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
39        to SEAICE_elasticParm
40      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
41      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
42      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
43      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
44    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
45      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
46        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
47        clipping or linear tappering.
48      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
49      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
50        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
51      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
52    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
53    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
54      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
55    o adjoint:
56      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
57      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
58      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
59      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
60    
61    checkpoint59b
62    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
63      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
64    o pkg/seaice:
65      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
66        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
67      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
68      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
69      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
70        better
71    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
72      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
73    o pkg/exf:
74      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
75      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
76      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
77      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
78        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
79    o pkg/seaice:
80      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
81      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
82        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
83    o pkg/exf:
84      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
85      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
86      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
87        to the main code ;
88      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
89        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
90        previous code.
91        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
92      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
93    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
94      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
95        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
96      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
97        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
98      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
99      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
100    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
101      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
102      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
103        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
104        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
105     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
106      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
107        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
108      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
109        by ice & snow emissivity.
110    o pkg/thsice:
111     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
112      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
113      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
114      and in thsice_extend.F:
115      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
116      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
117     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
118      and cpl_aim+ocn
119    o pkg/kpp
120     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
121       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
122     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
123     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
124     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
125       be the best fix)
126    o pkg/seaice
127     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
128     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
129    o OpenAD
130     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
131    
132    checkpoint59a
133    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
134    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
135       himin       -> hIceMin
136       himin0      -> hThinIce
137       hihig       -> hThickIce
138       i0          -> i0swFrac
139       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
140       frac_energy -> fracMelting
141      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
142       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
143      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
144    o in FFIELDS.h:
145      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
146      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
147         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
148    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
149    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
150        3D diffusivity arrays are used.
151    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
152      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
153        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
154      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
155      - the above changes lab_sea results
156      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
157        may follow
158      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
159      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
160        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
161        of choosing it)
162      - add principal stress diagnostics
163      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
164        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
165        not have.
166      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
167        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
168        in all cases)
169    o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
170      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
171    
172    checkpoint59
173    o pkg/exf:
174      - fix wind-stress location: defined on A-grid (if ALLOW_ATM_WIND &
175        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE or USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION), otherwise, defined on C-grid
176      - move exf header files from lower_case.h to UPPER_CASE.h ;
177        add missing cvs Header & Name
178      - add adjoint routines and flow dirs for newly used exch_uv_agrid routines
179      - add namelist param. selectStressGridPosition, exf_monFreq
180      - retire many _CLIM routines, and remove data.exf_clim
181        + params moved to data.exf
182        + climsst, climsss now handled by exf_set_gen, i.e.
183          climss?period=0 refers to constant field,
184          climss?period=-12 to monthly forcing
185      - split up namelists in data.exf
186    o pkg/seaice:
187      - remove seaice_exch and seaice_exch_uv
188      - remove superfluous exchange of theta
189      - add myThid to seaice_budget_ocean/ice
190      - add new interface for atmospheric wind forcing (C-grid only)
191        + new routine
192        + two new field (taux, tauy for stress over ice)
193        + removed one global field (DAIRN) for C-grid case only
194    o pkg/thsise
195      - 2nd set of modifs for thsice adjoint in conjunction with exf
196    o enable runtime flag useEXF (useCAL is set to .T. if useEXF=.T.)
197    
198    checkpoint58y_post
199    o Added capability for latitudinal dependence of Bryan and Lewis, 1979
200      vertical diffusivity, similar to that in MOM4; turned on using
201      #define ALLOW_BL79_LAT_VARY in CPP_OPTIONS.h and specified using
202      diffKrBL79*, diffKrBLEQ*, and BL79LatVary in runtime data file.
203    o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
204      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
205      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
206      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
207    o ice dynamics (pkg/seaice) with thsice thermodynamics:
208      - add code within pkg thsice to advect & diffuse sea-ice fields
209      similar to (and will replace) what has been added in  seaice_advdiff.F,
210      but: - conserving Mass, Heat & Salt.
211           - better when using non-linear advection scheme (not yet fully tested)
212           - can also be used in atmospheric set-up (for now, only the diffusion).
213    
214    checkpoint58x_post
215    o IO option for global-file compact format:
216      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
217      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
218      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
219      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
220    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
221    
222    checkpoint58w_post
223    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
224      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
225      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
226      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
227                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
228    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
229      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
230    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
231     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
232     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
233       mass points to avoid tau = 0
234     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
235    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
236    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
237      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
238    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
239    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
240    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
241      to all packages
242    
243    checkpoint58v_post
244    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
245      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
246    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
247    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
248      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
249    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
250      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
251      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
252    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
253      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
254    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
255     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
256     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
257     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
258       and serious testing.
259     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
260       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
261    
262    checkpoint58u_post
263    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
264    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
265    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
266    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
267      momentum calculation.
268    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
269    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
270      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
271      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
272    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
273      Linear Free surface
274    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
275    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
276    
277    checkpoint58t_post
278    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
279    o pkg/mdsio:
280     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
281       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
282       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
283     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
284     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
285       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
286     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
287       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
288     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
289    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
290       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
291      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
292       diagnostic pointer.
293    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
294    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
295    o fix multi-category seaice:
296     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
297       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
298     - fix short wave heat flux
299    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
300       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
301       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
302    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
303      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
304      * used C-grid and EVP solver
305      * used KPP, GM/Redi
306      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
307      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
308        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
309        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
310        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
311    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
312     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
313     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
314     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
315       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
316     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
317     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
318       as atemp, etc.
319    
320    checkpoint58s_post
321    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
322      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
323        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
324        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
325    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
326      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
327      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
328        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
329        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
330        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
331        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
332        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
333    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
334    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
335      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
336    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
337    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
338    
339    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
340      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
341      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
342      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
343      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
344      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
345      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
346      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
347      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
348      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
349    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
350      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
351      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
352      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
353    
354    checkpoint58r_post
355    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
356      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
357      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
358      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
359    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
360    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
361      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
362    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
363      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
364    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
365      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
366      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
367    o multi-threading and IO:
368      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
369      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
370        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
371    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
372      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
373    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
374      (will certainly be subject to changes)
375    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
376      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
377    
378    checkpoint58q_post
379    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
380      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
381      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
382    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
383      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
384      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
385    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
386      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
387    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
388    
389    checkpoint58p_post
390    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
391    o shelfice:
392     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
393     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
394       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
395       stable
396    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
397    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
398      and updated flow directives
399    
400    checkpoint58o_post
401    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
402      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
403    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
404      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
405    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
406    o simplify EXCH interface:
407     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
408     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
409    o added the regrid package
410    o shelfice:
411     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
412     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
413    
414    checkpoint58n_post
415    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
416       local variable (not in common block).
417    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
418      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
419      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
420        to work with SingleCpuIO.
421    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
422       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
423    o multi-threading and IO:
424      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
425        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
426      - barrier before and after reading.
427      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
428      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
429      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
430        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
431    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
432      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
433    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
434    
435    checkpoint58m_post
436    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
437       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
438    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
439       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
440       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
441    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
442        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
443    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
444    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
445    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
446    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
447      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
448    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
449    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
450      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
451      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
452    o calc_gw:
453     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
454     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
455       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
456    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
457    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
458      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
459      truncation level, 11 digits).
460    
461    checkpoint58l_post
462    o calc_gw:
463     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
464     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
465     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
466    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
467      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
468    o pkg/ecco:
469      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
470        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
471      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
472      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
473        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
474      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
475        including separate counting and multipliers
476    o pkg/rbcs
477      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
478    
479    checkpoint58k_post
480    o testreport:
481     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
482       & running in input)
483     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
484     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
485     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
486    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
487       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
488       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
489       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
490    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
491     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
492       end of the routine.
493    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
494      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
495    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
496    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
497    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
498    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
499      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
500    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
501       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
502    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
503    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
504    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
505       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
506    o tracer advection:
507     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
508     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
509       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
510    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
511    
512    checkpoint58j_post
513    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
514      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
515    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
516    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
517    o genmake2
518      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
519    
520    checkpoint58i_post
521    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
522      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
523    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
524      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
525    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
526      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
527    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
528    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
529    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
530      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
531        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
532      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
533    
534    checkpoint58h_post
535    * Modifications for bottom topography control
536      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
537      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
538      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
539      o update autodiff support routines
540      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
541      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
542    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
543    
544    checkpoint58g_post
545    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
546       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
547       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
548    o pkg/ggl90:
549      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
550      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
551    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
552      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
553      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
554      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
555      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
556        desired results either
557    o pkg/seaice
558      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
559    
560    checkpoint58f_post
561    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
562      to pkg/seaice):
563      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
564      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
565    o pkg/exf:
566      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
567      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
568      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
569      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
570        exf_radiation, exf_wind
571      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
572        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
573      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
574        either wind from stress or stress from wind
575    o pkg/thSIce:
576    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
577    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
578       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
579    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
580    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
581      to make debugging easier.
582    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
583    o pkg/bulk_force:
584      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
585      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
586    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
587      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
588    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
589      testreport accordingly
590    
591    checkpoint58e_post
592    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
593    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
594      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
595      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
596    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
597      to be able to use it in pure forward.
598    
599    checkpoint58d_post
600    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
601     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
602      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
603      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
604      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
605      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
606      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
607      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
608      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
609      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
610      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
611     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
612    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
613    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
614      with larger stencil
615    o thsice adjoint: start
616    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
617      completeness
618    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
619      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
620    o ptracers adjoint:
621      * avoid extensive recomputatations
622      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
623    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
624      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
625    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
626      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
627    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
628      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
629    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
630    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
631      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
632    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
633    o new package prifiles:
634      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
635      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
636    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
637      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
638    
639    checkpoint58c_post
640    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
641      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
642    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
643      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
644      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
645      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
646    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
647      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
648    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
649    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
650      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
651      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
652    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
653      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
654    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
655      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
656    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
657    o seaice:
658      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
659      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
660        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
661      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
662      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
663        C-grid solver
664      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
665      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
666        are now exclusive)
667      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
668        required re-ordering the code a little:
669       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
670       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
671         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
672    
673    checkpoint58b_post
674    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
675      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
676    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
677      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
678      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
679      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
680    o adjoint:
681      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
682      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
683    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
684     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
685      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
686     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
687    o ecco
688      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
689    o adjoint
690      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
691      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
692      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
693        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
694    o seaice:
695     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
696       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
697         and ostres
698       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
699         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
700         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
701     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
702     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
703       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
704       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
705       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
706    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
707      include it only where its needed
708    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
709    o seaice:
710      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
711      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
712      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
713    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
714      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
715    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
716    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
717      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
718    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
719      (since checkpoint57x_post)
720    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
721    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
722      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
723    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
724      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
725      pkg/generic_advdiff
726    o seaice:
727      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
728        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
729        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
730      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
731      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
732      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
733        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
734      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
735      
736    checkpoint58a_post
737    o seaice:
738      - bug fix in advect.F
739    o shelfice:
740      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
741        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
742        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
743        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
744        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
745        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
746        deep-reaching shelfice.
747      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
748      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
749        now the default
750      - give a few constants more intuitive names
751    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
752      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
753      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
754      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
755      STDOUT.
756    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
757    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
758      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
759     - works
760     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
761              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
762                instead of new field kTopC
763              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
764                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
765                and ini_mask_etc.F?
766              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
767    o seaice pkg:
768     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
769       freezing point of sea water at the surface
770     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
771       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
772    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
773       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
774       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
775    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
776       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
777       (might add other options later)
778    o pkg/bulk_force:
779     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
780     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
781       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
782       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
783     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
784     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
785     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
786       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
787     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
788    
789    checkpoint58
790    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
791      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
792      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
793      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
794      - requested by CNH but off by default
795      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
796      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
797    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
798      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
799      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
800      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
801    
802    checkpoint57z_post
803    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
804      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
805    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
806    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
807    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
808      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
809    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
810    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
811         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
812    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
813         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
814      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
815      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
816          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
817          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
818      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
819          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
820          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
821      * 3 cases:
822          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
823          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
824          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
825    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
826      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
827      * enable at compile-time via
828        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
829      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
830      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
831      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
832    
833    checkpoint57y_post
834    First step for a NLFS adjoint
835    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
836    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
837    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
838    o testreport seemed happy
839    checkpoint57y_pre
840    
841    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
842    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
843    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
844    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
845    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
846      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
847    
848    checkpoint57x_post
849    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
850    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
851      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
852      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
853    o Non-Hydrostatic:
854     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
855     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
856    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
857     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
858     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
859       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
860     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
861    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
862    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
863    o adjoint
864      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
865        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
866      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
867    
868    checkpoint57w_post
869    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
870                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
871       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
872    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
873      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
874    o tracer advection scheme:
875      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
876       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
877       was not very convenient).
878      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
879       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
880    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
881      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
882      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
883      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
884    
885    checkpoint57v_post
886    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
887    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
888      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
889      identical results for a few days of testing
890    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
891      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
892      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
893      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
894       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
895    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
896      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
897      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
898    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
899      and for passive tracers
900    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
901      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
902      file).
903    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
904      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
905    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
906      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
907       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
908      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
909    
910    checkpoint57u_post
911    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
912      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
913        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
914        are treated
915      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
916        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
917      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
918        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
919        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
920        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
921        with EXF)
922    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
923    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
924      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
925    
926    checkpoint57t_post
927    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
928    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
929      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
930      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
931    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
932      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
933    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
934      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
935    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
936    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
937    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
938      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
939    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
940      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
941      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
942    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
943      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
944      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
945      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
946      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
947      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
948    
949    checkpoint57s_post
950    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
951      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
952      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
953      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
954      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
955      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
956      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
957      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
958    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
959    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
960      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
961      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
962      they did before.
963    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
964      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
965    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
966    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
967    o various changes to mnc including:
968      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
969      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
970          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
971      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
972          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
973      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
974    
975    checkpoint57r_post
976    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
977    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
978    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
979    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
980    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
981      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
982    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
983      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
984    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
985    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
986    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
987    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
988    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
989      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
990      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
991      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
992    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
993      (see README file)
994    
995    checkpoint57q_post
996    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
997    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
998      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
999    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
1000      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
1001    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1002      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
1003      to be able to limit tapelev size
1004    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
1005      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1006      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
1007      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
1008    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
1009      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
1010      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
1011    
1012    checkpoint57p_post
1013    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
1014    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
1015      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
1016    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
1017    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
1018      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
1019       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
1020      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
1021     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
1022      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
1023      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
1024      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
1025    
1026    checkpoint57o_post
1027    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
1028      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
1029    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
1030      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
1031    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
1032      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
1033      (worth another tag)
1034    
1035    checkpoint57n_post
1036    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
1037    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
1038    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
1039    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
1040      for atmos. state.
1041    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
1042  o in natl_box_adjoint:  o in natl_box_adjoint:
1043    * updated: results_bulk/    * updated exp 1 to 10
1044    * not yet updated: results/, results_seaice/      (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
1045    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
1046      to incorporate latest changes
1047    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
1048      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
1049    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
1050    
1051  checkpoint57m_post  checkpoint57m_post
1052  o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)  o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
