4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
8      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
9      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
10      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
11    o adjoint:
12      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
13      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
14    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
15     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
16      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
17     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
18    o ecco
19      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
20    o adjoint
21      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
22      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
23      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
24        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
25    o seaice:
26     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
27       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
28         and ostres
29       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
30         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
31         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
32     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
33     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
34       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
35       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
36       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
37    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
38      include it only where its needed
39    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
40    o seaice:
41      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
42      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
43      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
44    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
45      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
46    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
47    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
48      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
49    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
50      (since checkpoint57x_post)
51    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
52    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
53      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
54    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
55      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
56      pkg/generic_advdiff
57    o seaice:
58      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
59        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
60        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
61      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
62      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
63      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
64        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
65      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
66      
67    checkpoint58a_post
68    o seaice:
69      - bug fix in advect.F
70    o shelfice:
71      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
72        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
73        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
74        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
75        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
76        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
77        deep-reaching shelfice.
78      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
79      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
80        now the default
81      - give a few constants more intuitive names
82    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
83      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
84      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
85      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
86      STDOUT.
87    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
88    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
89      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
90     - works
91     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
92              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
93                instead of new field kTopC
94              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
95                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
96                and ini_mask_etc.F?
97              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
98    o seaice pkg:
99     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
100       freezing point of sea water at the surface
101     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
102       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
103    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
104       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
105       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
106    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
107       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
108       (might add other options later)
109    o pkg/bulk_force:
110     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
111     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
112       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
113       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
114     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
115     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
116     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
117       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
118     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
119    
120    checkpoint58
121    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
122      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
123      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
124      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
125      - requested by CNH but off by default
126      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
127      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
128    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
129      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
130      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
131      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
132    
133    checkpoint57z_post
134    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
135      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
136    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
137    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
138    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
139      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
140    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
141    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
142         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
143    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
144         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
145      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
146      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
147          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
148          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
149      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
150          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
151          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
152      * 3 cases:
153          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
154          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
155          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
156    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
157      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
158      * enable at compile-time via
159        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
160      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
161      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
162      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
163    
164    checkpoint57y_post
165    First step for a NLFS adjoint
166    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
167    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
168    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
169    o testreport seemed happy
170    checkpoint57y_pre
171    
172    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
173    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
174    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
175    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
176    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
177      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
178    
179    checkpoint57x_post
180    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
181    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
182      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
183      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
184    o Non-Hydrostatic:
185     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
186     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
187    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
188     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
189     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
190       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
191     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
192    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
193    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
194    o adjoint
195      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
196        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
197      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
198    
199    checkpoint57w_post
200    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
201                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
202       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
203    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
204      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
205    o tracer advection scheme:
206      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
207       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
208       was not very convenient).
209      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
210       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
211    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
212      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
213      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
214      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
215    
216    checkpoint57v_post
217    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
218    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
219      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
220      identical results for a few days of testing
221    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
222      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
223      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
224      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
225       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
226    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
227      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
228      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
229    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
230      and for passive tracers
231    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
232      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
233      file).
234    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
235      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
236    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
237      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
238       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
239      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
240    
241    checkpoint57u_post
242    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
243      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
244        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
245        are treated
246      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
247        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
248      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
249        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
250        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
251        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
252        with EXF)
253    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
254  o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@  o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
255    truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).    truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
