4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/exf: rewrite of exf_getffieldrec.F to properly deal with year
8      transitions for useExfYearlyFields
9      - add new subroutine that determines the file to read from for
10        use*YearlyFields = .TRUE. and .FALSE.
11    o pkg/obcs/exf: add useOBCSYearlyFields (=.FALSE.) to obcs with exf in
12      analogy to useExfYearlyFields; rearrange obcs_prescribe_read: two new
13      subroutines (which could be generated from a template, because they are
14      almost identical), for now they are included in obcs_prescribe_read.F for
15      simplicity
16    o pkg/exf:
17      - add a little more diagnostic to exf_interp_read (in analogy to
18        mds_read_field, can be turned off with debugLevel < debugLevA=1)
19      - improve vectorizability of exf_interp for TARGET_NEC_SX, makes code
20        ugly but fast by unrolling short inner loops, inserting a unroll=8
21        directive in routine lagran, and splitting a loop and making do while the
22        outermost loop (the latter requires the intoduction of index arrays)
23    o pkg/obcs: replace obcs_apply_area/heff/hsalt/hsnow with obcs_apply_seaice
24    o pkg/seaice: moved DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE from seaice_model to seaice_dynsolver
25      http://forge.csail.mit.edu/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2008-January/003173.html
26    o verification/seaice_obcs: updated for restart test and latest options
27    o pkg/seaice: add a new flag SEAICEuseTEM to use a slightly different
28      ice rheology (so-called truncated ellipse, that gets rid of tensile stress);
29      for now this is only available for the C-grid code and also within
30      #ifdef SEAICE_ALLOW_TEM, because this option may slow down the EVP code
31    
32    checkpoint59m
33    o pkg/seaice: use different time constant for melting (SEAICE_gamma_t)
34      and freezing (SEAICE_gamma_t_frz) ice due to mixed layer temperature
35    o gad_som : fix flux output (& diagnostics) to have same units as other  
36      advection scheme fluxes (was previously multiplied by deltaT).  
37    o added verification/seaice_obcs both to test seaice open boundaries
38      and to provide an example matlab scrpt for generating them
39    o added verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume for testing pkg/salt_plume
40    o pkg/salt_plume: clean up salt_plume_frac.F to
41      remove redundancy in PlumeMethod 1 and 4
42    o pkg/kpp: added saltplume diagnostics
43    o pkg/obcs and pkg/seaice:
44      - do not set uice and vice to zero when OB*icefile are unspecified
45      - OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE is undefined by default
46      - moved seaice tracer obcs after call to seaice_growth
47    o pkg/salt_plume: added various options for salt plume depth
48      criterion and for vertical distribution of the salt
49    
50    checkpoint59l
51    o pkg/ptracers: new version of ptracers pickup:
52      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
53      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
54    o pkg/seaice:
55      - add timescale for melting due to warm mixed layer as a means of
56        setting SEAICE_availHeatFrac more conveniently
57      - add a CPP-flag/runtime parameter check for flooding algorithm
58      - reformulated availHeat in seaice_growth.F to be independent of AREA
59    o change units attribute of EmPmR netcdf variables to kg/m^2/s to reflect recent
60      unit changes
61    o pkg/obcs: added OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE constraint
62    o cg2d.F: add 3 compiler directives that speed up this routine by 30% on a NEC
63      SX vector computer.
64    o pkg/seaice:
65      - removed SEAICE_FFIELDS.h and seaice_get_forcing.F
66        seaice forcing fields can now be read only through pkg/exf
67      - removed some unused halos
68    o no longer write pickup from THE_MODEL_MAIN but always from FORWARD_STEP
69    o pkg/exf: added useRelativeWind EXF_PARAM.h option for subtracting U/VVEL
70      or U/VICE from U/VWIND before computing U/VSTRESS
71    
72    checkpoint59k
73    o pkg/seaice: ICE2WATR=SEAICE_rhoIce/rhoConst for consistency between
74      dynamics and thermodynamics. Set ICE2WATR=0.92 to reproduce older results.
75    o fix un-initialised variable problem (in mom_vecinv & shap_filt):
76      all experiments pass when compile with un-initialised var. checking option.
77    o added pkg/salt_plume
78    o script to test restart (for now, in MITgcm_contrib/jmc_script)
79    o pkg/seaice: new read/write pickup version.
80      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
81      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
82    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in seaice_ocean_stress (call of seaice_calc_strainrates)
83    o lab_sea.hb87: modify the domain & update output.hb87.txt :
84      lat-long grid & no-slip BC in seaice-dynamics produce different sigma12
85      at j=1 & j=Ny+1 : this case is not treated correctly in the restart
86      process. Fixed here by closing the domain at the Northern boundary.
87    o pkg/rw: cleaning-up: call directly new MDSIO S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD.
88    o pkg/mdsio: add new arguments to MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD for reading/writing
89      a set of consecutive levels in/from a 3-D array.
90    o pkg/ptracers:
91      use a 2 characters string ioLabel to identify tracer (if more than 99 tracers).
92      to-do: fix pkg/diagnostics when large number of diagnostics are defined.
93    
94    checkpoint59j
95    o in pkgs: dic, obcs, offline, rbcs:
96      standard way to compute coeff. for time interpolation between 2 time reccords
97      which retains full precision (& make results less dependent on compiler).
98      update output of exp: tutorial_cfc_offline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
99    o pkg/cfc: if compiled with exf and seaice, cfc now can use fields from those
100      packages instead of reading ice cover and wind speed separately
101    o split PTRACERS.h in 2 header files: PTRACERS_FIELDS.h & PTRACERS_PARAMS.h
102     (keep a temporary version of PTRACERS.h in verification/OpenAD/code_ad_openad
103      to allow to compile customized code before the update)
104    o cleaning-up:
105      - fix CPP instruction syntax in pkg/obcs
106      - replace (some) call to MDSIO S/R with call to RW interface S/R ; and
107        add #ifdef ALLOW_MDSIO elsewhere (allows to compile without pkg/mdsio)
108      - fix some threads issue in IO parts.
109    o pkg/dic:
110      - add tons of "_d 0" (--> much better testreports !)
111       and then update outputs of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
112    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
113      add a special version of momentum advection intended to conserve momentum
114      next to a bathymetry step or a coastline edge. (default = off = #undef)
115    o new read/write pickup version:
116      - for now, only implemented for main (mdsio) pickup file.
117      - write out only what is needed to restart; merge pickup_nh , pickup_ph
118        and main pickup together.
119      - read meta file; read only what is needed to restart; stop if a field
120        is missing (if pickupStrictlyMatch=T, = the default) or try to restart
121        if it make sense (even if the restart is not perfect).
122      - if no meta file, assume that pickup to read corresponds exactly to
123        a pickup that would currently be written.
124      - read pickup written in the old format (until checkpoint59i) if it
125        recognizes an old meta file (no field-list).
126      - add a meta file in exp. which starts from a pickup: 2 cases:
127        a) minimal meta file (with just file precision) + pickupStrictlyMatch=F
128         e.g.: global_ocean.90x40x15/input/pickup.0000036000.meta
129        b) a meta file describing the content of the associated pickup file
130         e.g.: tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/input/pickup.0004248000.meta
131    o pkg/mdsio & pkg/rw:
132      - new routine to read a meta file ; new set of routine to read
133        Multiple-fields file (with meta file).
134    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice
135        HSNOW, HSALT, UICE, and VICE
136    
137    checkpoint59i
138    o adjoint:
139      * fix multiDimAdvection adjoint
140        (partial recomputation problem by TAF for fVerT(:,:,kDown)
141        and comlev1 size definition (maxpass vs. max. number of tracers)
142      * verification/global_ocean.90x45x15 adjoint now tests
143        NLFS and multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
144      * verification/lab_sea now tests multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
145    o pkg/kpp: add "_d 0" to real constant (if missing);
146      update output of exp: natl_box (10.digits); vermix (std, 7.digits)
147      and lab_sea, 3.FW (only 6,4,6 digits match) & AD (8.digits).
148    o prepare for "clever pickup" implementation: add new header file "RESTART.h"
149      for internal parameters related to restart process (formerly from PARAMS.h)
150      and add startAB parameter to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
151    o more standard interface to {PKG}_WRITE_PICKUP with pickup suffix passed
152      as argument. (only atm2d & obcs write_pickup have not yet been updated)
153    o pkg/monitor:
154      - use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE instead of _GLOBAL_SUM
155      - fix mon_stats_rs (statistics over the full domain, even where field is zero)
156      - account for deep Atmosphere factor and density factor (anelastic)
157    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice HEFF and AREA
158    o pkg/shelfice: add option for convservative form of Hellmer&Olbers (1989)
159      thermodynamics
160      - requires a little reorganization, which affects the testreport results
161        of isomip.htd (only 7 digits of cg2d agree) => update/modify experiment,
162        so that now the conservative form is tested
163      - add a few comments
164    o add missing cvs Header: or Name: in eesupp/*, pkg/* & verification/code*
165    o add a little bit of code to gad_os7mp_adv_?.F to help vectorization
166    o add new diagnostics to seaice: advective, diffusive fluxes (only for
167      multidim-advection, for scheme 2 they are not filled) and transports,
168      thermodynamic growth rates
169    o change units of EmPmR (inside the code, + within coupling interface)
170      from m/s to kg/m2/s (mass flux) but leave input file unchanged.
171      Affects results @ truncation level (cg2d match) and update output of
172       experiments: lab_sea(6), global_ocean.90x40x15(10),
173      global_ocean.cs32x15(11x3,10), natl_box(11), tutorial_global_oce_latlon(11)
174      + adjoint results: global_ocean_ebm(11) and lab_sea (12).
175      Coupled set-up: allow to restart from previous pickups (cpl_oldPickup=T).
176      Next: will retire convertEmP2rUnit (simply using mass2rUnit instead).
177    
178    checkpoint59h
179    o pkg/exf:
180      - improve vectorization by moving if-statement out of loops in
181        exf_mapfields, exf_radiation
182      - exf_bulkformulae.F: introduce 2D fields and vectorize code
183    o pkg/kpp: added the salt plume scheme (ALLOW_SALT_PLUME) to KPP package
184    o testreport:
185      - allow to test for Qnet & SeaIce monitor output; clean-up ALLOW_BULK_OFFLINE
186        monitor & update offline_exf_seaice exp. output.
187      - AD testing: pass/FAIL according to Grad. output accuracy (instead of Cost)
188    o pkg/seaice:
189      - bug fix in the evp solver: boundary conditions were affected be
190        masking of zMax/zMin (changes results)
191      - minor bug fix in boundary conditions in seaice_calc_strainrates
192        (changes results for no_slip)
193      - seaice_lsr.F: make interpolation of eta dependent on boundaries
194      - replace hardcoded lower limit for zeta (zMin) by runtime parameter
195      - add a test to lab_sea, that tests the Hibler and Bryan (1987) ocean
196        stress formulation and no-slip boundary conditions
197    o pkg/ptracers: Temporary fix for PTRACERS_useGMRedi & PTRACERS_useKPP
198      in gad_calc_rhs.F ; add few safety stops in initialisation phase.
199    o pkg/seaice: a first HSALT time stepping equation has been checked in
200    o pkg/seaice: replaced maskW with seaiceMaskU and maskS with seaiceMaskV
201      in seaice_lsr.F; this solves the pkg/seaice-pkg/obcs problem
202      without requiring DO-IF statements
203    o pkg/thsice:
204      use continuous power-law function for partition of energy between lateral
205      melting/freezing and thinning/thickening ; old code using step function
206      still available with #undef THSICE_FRACEN_POWERLAW
207      update output of exp: aim.5l_cs.thSI, global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn & .thsice
208    o testreport: change AD testing : check against results/output_adm.txt
209      using same scripts as for forward test.
210    
211    checkpoint59g
212    o adjoint testing: in preparation for changing testreport:
213      - output format: cost and grad written on separated lines
214      - ad output results in directory "results" (instead of "results_ad")
215    o pkg/seaice: adding ice salinity HSALT as a prognostic variable
216    o pkg/seaice: changes for using pkg/seaice with pkg/obcs
217    o pkg/ecco: allow user defined cost function contributions
218    o testreport:
219      Allow to choose (per experiment) the list of tested output variables
220       and the main variable (used to issue a pass/FAIL ) ;
221      - for now, done by adding the specific list in file: [exp]/input/tr_checklist
222      - default is unchanged: >cg2d< , (T,S,U,V,5 tracers)_[min,max,mean,StD] ;
223      Also modify printing of summary:
224       a) ">" NN "<" indicates the "main" variable (used for pass/FAIL)
225       b) echo the list of tested variables in the individual summary.txt of
226          each experiment.
227    o new S/R GLOBAL_SUM_TILE to compute global sum independently of number of
228      threads and number of processes (with #define GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV)
229      (but still depend on the tile decompostion of the domain).
230    o pkg/seaice: change a discretization detail to make the B-grid code
231      "more symmetric". This change is likely to remove all "ridges/leads" that
232      where quasi-aligned with the grid in B-grid solutions. It may also be
233      the solution to the stress coupling issues with the B-grid.
234    o each tested exp: add a "run" directory with a standard ".cvsignore" file ;
235      remove .cvsignore from input dir. (since testreport no longer run here).
236    o pkg/thsice:
237     - cleaning: move common block out of "THSICE_2DYN.h" (removed) to "THSICE_VARS.h"
238     - fix reshaping of sea-ice just after advection:
239       melt all the ice only if ice-volume is too small.
240     - re-visit lateral/thinning repartition of melting (modifs from May 04, 2007):
241       prevent lateral melting if sea-ice fraction is too close to iceMaskMin ;
242     and update experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (+start from pickup files).
243    o external_forcing_surf : extend the use of salt_EvPrRn & temp_EvPrRn (fresh-water
244      tracer content) to linFS or no RealFreshWaterFlux ; default remains unchanged.
245    o define mass2rUnit & rUnit2mass as units conversion factor, used for surface
246      forcing. mass2rUnit: from mass per unit area [kg/m2] to r-coordinate unit
247      (z-coord: =1/rhoConst ; p-coord: =gravity) ; rUnit2mass is just the reverse;
248      and remove horiVertRatio (& recip_horiVertRatio). Affects truncation error
249      of exp. global_oce_in_p: 10 16 16 14 16 13 16 16 16 13 13 13 16 13 13 12 16
250      -> update output.txt
251    o pkg/cd_code: add brackets in multiple terms sum (S/R CD_CODE_SCHEME):
252     this affects truncation error: -> update output.txt of exp:
253      global_ocean.90x40x15 (fw&adm), lab_sea (fw&adm) & lab_sea.lsr,
254      ideal_2D_oce, isomip.htd, natl_box, tutorial_global_oce_latlon.
255    
256    checkpoint59f
257    o pkg/autodiff: zero_adj resets an ajoint variable to zero (in adjoint mode)
258    o pkg/ctrl: ctrl_bound  forces parameter corrections to stay in
259      a bounded range (in forward mode)
260    o pkg/ecco, ctrl, autodiff and mom_common:
261     internal parameter controls, completements of implementations
262    o add few EXCH S/R (UV_BGRID, UV_DGRID, SM) for B & D-Grid velocity & 2nd Moment Sxy.
263    o use UV_BGRID exch for dxV,dyU: for now, only with pkg/exch2 & forward ;
264      (not seem any difference in testing results).
265    o pkg/cd_code: use the right EXCH calls (for CS-grid); but problem remains
266       at face corners.
267    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
268     - in GAD.h, define as parameters (iMinAdvR,iMaxAdvR,jMinAdvR,jMaxAdvR)
269      loop range indices for computing vertical advection tendency
270      and do the calculation in the interior only (no overlap) ;
271      for now, only implemented for SOM advection (to save CPU time).
272     - add argument "withSigns" to S/R FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL (needed for SOM_xy moment)
273    o exch2 adjoint
274      First set of changes:
275      - add exch2 hand-written adjoint templates
276      - exch2 hand-written no longer use TAF-flag 'nownew_arg'
277        This will require cleanup in pkg/autodiff/*.F
278        (changed routines currently kept separate in verif. code/)
279      - Comment all relevant #ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
280        that used to hide exch2 or cubed-sphere specific code
281        (commented via 'cph-exch2')
282    o pkg/seaice
283      - Close southern and western boundaries for UICE/VICE when useOBCS=.TRUE.
284    o pkg/bulk_force: fix loading into Qsw of Short-Wave flux; and update
285       output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice .
286    
287    checkpoint59e
288    o exch2: new S/R that only use the cube-tracer (center-position) exchange:
289      for B-grid vector (not yet tested) and C-grid vector (<- only used
290      when option W2_USE_R1_ONLY in W2_OPTIONS.h is defined).
291    o starting implementation of Duffy et al. (GRL 1999) salt plume scheme
292      (#ifdef ALLOW_SALT_PLUME)
293    o gather_2d/scatter_2d: removed halo regions
294    o gmredi: add option (GM_taper_scheme='fm07') for Ferrari & McWilliams 2007
295      scheme and the corresponding test case (under front_relax dir). For now,
296      only available with Skew-flux form and not yet tested in realistic set-up.
297      adjoint: store directives updated, but gradient checks deteriorated,
298      so maybe GM/Redi adjoint is now broken.
299    o seaice adjoint
300      * add AREA, HEFF, HSNOW as control variable
301        (should not change lab_sea results)
302      * CTRL_OPTIONS.h needs new flag: CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_40
303    o pkg/seaice:
304      * added computation of saltFlux in seaice_growth;
305        For time being, sea ice salinity is assumed constant
306        contribution of snow flooding to freshening of sea ice is neglected.
307        SEAICE_salinity is set in SEAICE_PARM01 of data.seaice and it
308        defaults to 0.0 in order to maintain backward compatibility.
309        Typical values for SEAICE_salinity are 4 to 10 g/kg.
310      * replaced dRf(1) with dRf(kSurface)*hFacC(kSurface) in seaice_growth.F
311      * added SEAICE_availHeatFrac, which specifies fraction of surface level
312        heat content used to melt or grow ice
313      * commented out cap of HICE: it helps keep ice thinner
314      * reintroduced cap of HEFF via MAX_HEFF and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF option
315      * applied OBCS T/S mask to HEFFM sea ice mask
316    
317    checkpoint59d
318    o standard name: {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_STATE to fill diagnostics array
319     for {PKG} state variables, and called from DO_STATEVARS_DIAGS.
320     (keep {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_FILL for non-state variables diagnostics)
321    o pkg/gmredi (gmredi_readparms.F): add some missing "_d 0"
322     and change default value of parameter "GM_Small_Number";
323     update output of exp: lab_sea (x2), cfc_example, global_ocean.90x40x15,
324       global_ocean.cs32x15 (x4), global_ocean_ebm, global_with_exf,  
325       tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_global_oce_latlon
326    o pkg/ecco: cost function when applying pkg/smooth to controls
327    o pkg/ctrl: add forcingPrecond run time parameter
328    o pkg/seaice:
329     - replace ZMIN=4.e8 with ZMIN=0. in dynsolver.F as in C-grid code
330     - fix bug in metric terms of u-equation in LSR solver (implicit part),
331       changes verification/lab_sea
332     - rearrange implicit part of u-equation in LSR solver to make it easier to
333       read, understand, and debug. This causes changes at the truncation level.
334     - fix (serious) bug in the boundary conditions (sign error in the implicit
335       part) of the LSR solver. Changes all LSR results.
336     - fixed problem with HSNOW initialization to avoid thick snow when AREA
337       is initilized with small values - does not change lab_sea results.
338     - added HsnowFile initialization capability
339    o pkg/smooth: addition to model/src and pkg/ctrl so allow
340     initialization of pkg/smooth and application to control vector
341    o pkg/seaice: fix another bug in the LSR no-slip boundary conditons
342    o dependencies: pkg/profiles requires pkg/cal
343    o pkg/profiles:
344     - added option ALLOW_PROFILES_GENERICGRID
345         -> pkg/profiles can thus be used with any grid (e.g. cs32x15) assuming
346         that interpolation information (grid points and coefficients) is provided
347         within the netcdf input files.
348         -> sample matlab scripts can be found in MITgcm_contrib/gael
349         that allow you to prepare netcdf input files.
350     - also modified: cleaner include statements, cleaner error print statements,
351       cleaner stops when error, and more tests of the netcdf input files consistency.
352    o additional test (in global_ocean.cs32x15) using seaice+thsice pkgs.
353    o pkg/seaice:
354     - move seaice-diagnostics from seaice_do_diags to do_statevars_diags; this
355       requires a new routine: seaice_diagnostics_fill.F
356     - make sure that seaice does not move if not forced (pressure replacement
357       method, Hibler and Ip, 1995), changes results
358     - and new damping criterion for EVP solver according to Hunke, JCP, 2001
359     - SEAICE_evpDampC = > 0. turns it on (615. is the recommended value).
360       It is turned off by default (=-1.), because it changes the results.
361     - make it possible to read AREA from a file, too.
362    
363    checkpoint59c
364    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
365    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
366    o pkg/thsice:
367     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
368      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
369    o pkg/obcs:
370     - bug fix for balance code
371    o pkg/seaice:
372      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
373      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
374        to SEAICE_elasticParm
375      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
376      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
377      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
378      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
379    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
380      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
381        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
382        clipping or linear tappering.
383      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
384      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
385        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
386      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
387    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
388    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
389      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
390    o adjoint:
391      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
392      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
393      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
394      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
395    
396    checkpoint59b
397    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
398      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
399    o pkg/seaice:
400      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
401        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
402      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
403      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
404      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
405        better
406    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
407      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
408    o pkg/exf:
409      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
410      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
411      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
412      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
413        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
414    o pkg/seaice:
415      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
416      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
417        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
418    o pkg/exf:
419      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
420      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
421      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
422        to the main code ;
423      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
424        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
425        previous code.
426        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
427      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
428    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
429      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
430        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
431      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
432        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
433      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
434      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
435    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
436      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
437      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
438        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
439        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
440     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
441      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
442        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
443      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
444        by ice & snow emissivity.
445    o pkg/thsice:
446     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
447      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
448      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
449      and in thsice_extend.F:
450      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
451      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
452     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
453      and cpl_aim+ocn
454    o pkg/kpp
455     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
456       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
457     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
458     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
459     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
460       be the best fix)
461    o pkg/seaice
462     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
463     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
464    o OpenAD
465     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
466    
467    checkpoint59a
468    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
469    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
470       himin       -> hIceMin
471       himin0      -> hThinIce
472       hihig       -> hThickIce
473       i0          -> i0swFrac
474       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
475       frac_energy -> fracMelting
476      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
477       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
478      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
479    o in FFIELDS.h:
480      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
481      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
482         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
483    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
484    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
485        3D diffusivity arrays are used; pkg/kpp/kpp_calc_diff_s & _t.F
486        are no longer updating the vertical diffusivity array
487        (passed as argument) but are (re-) setting those arrays.
488    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
489      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
490        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
491      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
492      - the above changes lab_sea results
493      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
494        may follow
495      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
496      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
497        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
498        of choosing it)
499      - add principal stress diagnostics
500      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
501        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
502        not have.
503      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
504        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
505        in all cases)
506    o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
507      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
508    
509    checkpoint59
510    o pkg/exf:
511      - fix wind-stress location: defined on A-grid (if ALLOW_ATM_WIND &
512        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE or USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION), otherwise, defined on C-grid
513      - move exf header files from lower_case.h to UPPER_CASE.h ;
514        add missing cvs Header & Name
515      - add adjoint routines and flow dirs for newly used exch_uv_agrid routines
516      - add namelist param. selectStressGridPosition, exf_monFreq
517      - retire many _CLIM routines, and remove data.exf_clim
518        + params moved to data.exf
519        + climsst, climsss now handled by exf_set_gen, i.e.
520          climss?period=0 refers to constant field,
521          climss?period=-12 to monthly forcing
522      - split up namelists in data.exf
523    o pkg/seaice:
524      - remove seaice_exch and seaice_exch_uv
525      - remove superfluous exchange of theta
526      - add myThid to seaice_budget_ocean/ice
527      - add new interface for atmospheric wind forcing (C-grid only)
528        + new routine
529        + two new field (taux, tauy for stress over ice)
530        + removed one global field (DAIRN) for C-grid case only
531    o pkg/thsise
532      - 2nd set of modifs for thsice adjoint in conjunction with exf
533    o enable runtime flag useEXF (useCAL is set to .T. if useEXF=.T.)
534    
535    checkpoint58y_post
536    o Added capability for latitudinal dependence of Bryan and Lewis, 1979
537      vertical diffusivity, similar to that in MOM4; turned on using
538      #define ALLOW_BL79_LAT_VARY in CPP_OPTIONS.h and specified using
539      diffKrBL79*, diffKrBLEQ*, and BL79LatVary in runtime data file.
540    o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
541      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
542      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
543      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
544    o ice dynamics (pkg/seaice) with thsice thermodynamics:
545      - add code within pkg thsice to advect & diffuse sea-ice fields
546      similar to (and will replace) what has been added in  seaice_advdiff.F,
547      but: - conserving Mass, Heat & Salt.
548           - better when using non-linear advection scheme (not yet fully tested)
549           - can also be used in atmospheric set-up (for now, only the diffusion).
550    
551    checkpoint58x_post
552    o IO option for global-file compact format:
553      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
554      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
555      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
556      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
557    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
558    
559    checkpoint58w_post
560    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
561      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
562      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
563      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
564                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
565    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
566      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
567    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
568     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
569     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
570       mass points to avoid tau = 0
571     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
572    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
573    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
574      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
575    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
576    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
577    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
578      to all packages
579    
580    checkpoint58v_post
581    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
582      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
583    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
584    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
585      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
586    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
587      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
588      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
589    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
590      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
591    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
592     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
593     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
594     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
595       and serious testing.
596     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
597       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
598    
599    checkpoint58u_post
600    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
601    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
602    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
603    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
604      momentum calculation.
605    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
606    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
607      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
608      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
609    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
610      Linear Free surface
611    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
612    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
613    
614    checkpoint58t_post
615    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
616    o pkg/mdsio:
617     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
618       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
619       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
620     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
621     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
622       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
623     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
624       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
625     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
626    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
627       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
628      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
629       diagnostic pointer.
630    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
631    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
632    o fix multi-category seaice:
633     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
634       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
635     - fix short wave heat flux
636    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
637       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
638       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
639    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
640      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
641      * used C-grid and EVP solver
642      * used KPP, GM/Redi
643      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
644      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
645        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
646        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
647        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
648    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
649     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
650     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
651     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
652       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
653     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
654     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
655       as atemp, etc.
656    
657    checkpoint58s_post
658    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
659      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
660        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
661        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
662    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
663      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
664      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
665        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
666        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
667        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
668        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
669        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
670    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
671    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
672      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
673    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
674    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
675    
676    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
677      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
678      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
679      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
680      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
681      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
682      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
683      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
684      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
685      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
686    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
687      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
688      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
689      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
690    
691    checkpoint58r_post
692    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
693      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
694      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
695      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
696    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
697    o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
698      both are turned off by default and do no change any results
699    o seaice advection with pkg/thsice: a step toward the use of non-linear
700      advection scheme, but #ifdef or commented out for now (requires more EXCH).
701    o use standard version of PTRACERS_INI_VARIA in tutorial_tracer_adjsens
702      (identical results) and the standard version of EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD
703      in natl_box (affects results @ truncation level: update output.txt)
704    o multi-threading and IO:
705      - replace some call to MDSIO S/R by the corresponding READ/WRITE_FLD S/R.
706      - remove most of BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
707        (needed to work with SingleCpuIO): tested in all verif. exp.
708    o GAD: use simpler DST3 formulation as default (old version left within #ifdef)
709      affects the results (but none of the verification test uses this scheme).
710    o Adding some pkg/diagnostics capability to pkg/seaice
711      (will certainly be subject to changes)
712    o ctrl: adding new control variables:
713      lwflux, lwdown, evap, snowprecip, apressure, runoff
714    
715    checkpoint58q_post
716    o added CPP_EEOPTIONS.h flag DISABLE_MPI_READY_TO_RECEIVE.  Speeds up
717      1/6-deg Southern Ocean configuration by 8% on IBM Datastar and
718      high_res_cube configuration by 4% on Columbia.
719    o clean-up multi-threaded problems (reported by debugger tcheck on ACES);
720      add (in global_with_exf/code) a version of EXF_INTERP_READ without
721      dynamical allocation (seems to work in multi-threaded).
722    o new function "MASTER_CPU_IO" (=T if master thread & master CPU, if using
723      single CPU io) so that TAF does not have to see EESUPPORT.h
724    o pkg/seaice: implement sea-ice loading (when using RealFreshWaterFlux)
725    
726    checkpoint58p_post
727    o obcs: stop if obcs is used with useCDscheme = .true.
728    o shelfice:
729     - fix a sign error so that no slip at shelfice interface works
730     - remove stop for combination non-hydrostatic code and shelfice. That does
731       not mean, that the results are correct, but at least they are numerically
732       stable
733    o diagnoctics: modify UVELPHI and VVELPHI to include hfac (i.e. mass-weighted)
734    o added adjoint exch routined for all exch*3d* routines
735      and updated flow directives
736    
737    checkpoint58o_post
738    o replace calls to EXCH_Z & EXCH_UV_AGRID: use the new _3D_ version ;
739      remove old subroutines (_XY_ & _XYZ_); update the adjoint version.
740    o change controling S/R for writing pickup file (new S/R do_write_pickup)
741      and clean-up reading/writing of pickup files.
742    o fix local version of read/write pickup (NH part) in rotating_tank/code
743    o simplify EXCH interface:
744     - change _XYZ_ interface to _3D_ subroutine (with 3rd dim in argument list)
745     - not often used EXCH S/R (exch_z, exch_uv_agrid): keep only the _3D_ version
746    o added the regrid package
747    o shelfice:
748     - add a simple boundary layer scheme to reduce noise
749     - fix the indexing in shelfice_u/v_drag so that there will be actually drag
750    
751    checkpoint58n_post
752    o fix globalArea multi-threaded calculation: need to apply GLOBAL_SUM to
753       local variable (not in common block).
754    o lot of small changes for multi-threaded. Most tests (using OMP & ifort) pass.
755      - still problems with pkgs: mnc, exp2, dic, cal, exf (and probably more);
756      - still BEGIN_MASTER/END_MASTER to remove around READ/WRITE_FLD S/R calls
757        to work with SingleCpuIO.
758    o add "_d 0" to real constant of pkg/cfc subroutines ;
759       update exp. cfc_exemple & tutorial_cfc_offline output files.
760    o multi-threading and IO:
761      - all threads call READ_FLD S/R (needed if using SingleCpuIO):
762        (no BEGIN_MASTER/ END_MASTER around the call, but inside MDSIO S/R.
763      - barrier before and after reading.
764      - stop if other than master is calling MDS_WRITELOCAL (if #undef IO_THREAD_SAFE)
765      - avoid using MDS_WRITELOCAL for LAND pkg output.
766      - new S/R AIM_WRITE_PHYS (replaces AIM_WRITE_LOCAL) to write AIM physics
767        common-block variables ; Allows multi-threading with master-thread IO.
768    o change default MAX_NO_THREADS from 32 to 4 ;
769      and stop cleanly when MAX_NO_THREADS is too small.
770    o add S/R BAR_CHECK to check multi-threaded barrier synchronization
771    
772    checkpoint58m_post
773    o add a Non-Hydroatatic test (with 3-D Coriolis, NHMTerms, biharmonic Visc.
774       and side-drag) on CS-grid : global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
775    o make "tutorial_global_oce_latlon" from standard "global_ocean.90x40x15" exp.
776       keep global_ocean.90x40x15 (for AD testing) with former secondary test
777       (".qshyd") as the main test (mv output.qshyd.txt to output.txt)
778    o CVS modules: update MITgcm_verif_basic; remove MITgcm_verif_ocean & _verif_atmos;
779        add MITgcm_tutorials (= code + all the tutorials)
780    o ecco, option to compute cost for total ssh (mean+anom)
781    o consistent with addition of ptracer and ssh in pkg/profiles
782    o profiles: adding ptracer and ssh
783    o testreport: change multi-test output-file name
784      (from output.txt.{name} to output.{name}.txt)
785    o profiles: now ok for mutli-tiles case
786    o seaice: add 4 parameters for different advection schemes for area,
787      (effective) seaice thickness, enthalphy, and snow height. Their default
788      is the standard parameter SEAICEadvScheme
789    o calc_gw:
790     - add cosFacU in zonal viscous flux (harmonic.visc.).
791     - put back side-drag (call new S/R MOM_W_SIDEDRAG) and output.txt.
792       of tutorial_plume_on_slope.
793    o obcs_calc.F : fix index Pb in OBSeta & OBNeta (Thanks to Gianmaria).
794    o calc_gw: true flux-form, account for horizontal grid spacing.
795      update rotating_tank results, but not plume_on_slope (affected at
796      truncation level, 11 digits).
797    
798    checkpoint58l_post
799    o calc_gw:
800     - take bi,bj loops outside calc_gw to fix Pb with local array KappaRU,V
801     - remove side-drag for now (need to fix it); update plume_on_slope results.
802     - fix for partial-cell & non-uniform dz; update plume_on_slope results.
803    o commit code to make SST/SSS weights spatially variable
804      (based on either variable in-situ or variable initial T/S weights)
805    o pkg/ecco:
806      * commit code to relax deviations of xx_theta, xx_salt to 5*sigma,
807        now based on horizontally varying weights wthetaLev, wsaltLev
808      * cost_averagesflags now returns year indices in addition to day, month
809      * sflux balance is performed on annual basis
810        (sflxumm, sfluxmm2, bal_sfluxmm)
811      * for SSH anomaly, separate more cleanly contrib from T/P, ERS, GFO,
812        including separate counting and multipliers
813    o pkg/rbcs
814      * add all necessary infrastructure for pkg/rbcs levN adjoint checkpointing
815    
816    checkpoint58k_post
817    o testreport:
818     - always build in dir. "build" (if not there, mkdir build instead of building
819       & running in input)
820     - run in dir run (if it exists), in build otherwise.
821     - call prepare_run (if input/prepare_run exists)
822     - run multi-threaded test (with new option: "-mth") if file input/eedata.mth exists.
823    o pkg/exf modifications to interpolation and rotation routines for more
824       reasonable treatment of North Pole singularity: for tracers North Pole
825       value is set to northernmost zonal-mean value, for zonal velocity it is
826       set to zero, and for meridional velocity it is set to northernmost value.
827    o pkg/exf/exf_check_range.F
828     - add tile index to diagnostics and move stop statement to the very
829       end of the routine.
830    o pkg/diagnostics: (diagnostics_main_init.F)
831      define title of isomorphic variables according to the current config.
832    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:

834    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
835    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
836      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
837    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
838       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
839    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
840    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
841    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
842       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
843    o tracer advection:
844     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
845     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
846       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
847    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
848    
849    checkpoint58j_post
850    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
851      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
852    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
853    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
854    o genmake2
855      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
856    
857    checkpoint58i_post
858    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
859      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
860    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
861      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
862    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
863      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
864    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
865    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
866    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
867      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
868        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
869      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
870    
871    checkpoint58h_post

880    
881    checkpoint58g_post
882    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
883       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
884       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
885    o pkg/ggl90:
886      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
887      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
888    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
889      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
890      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
891      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
892      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
893        desired results either
894    o pkg/seaice
895      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
896    
897    checkpoint58f_post
898    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
899      to pkg/seaice):
900      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
901      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
902    o pkg/exf:
903      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
904      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
905      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
906      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
907        exf_radiation, exf_wind
908      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
909        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
910      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
911        either wind from stress or stress from wind
912    o pkg/thSIce:
913    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
914    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
915       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
916    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
917    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
918      to make debugging easier.
919    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
920    o pkg/bulk_force:
921      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
922      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
923    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
924      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
925    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
926      testreport accordingly
927    
928    checkpoint58e_post
929    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
930    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
931      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
932      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
933    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff

942      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
943      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
944      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
945      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
946      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
947      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
948     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
949    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
950    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
951      with larger stencil
952    o thsice adjoint: start
953    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
954      completeness

973    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
974      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
975    
976    checkpoint58c_post
977    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
978      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
979    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
980      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
981      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
982      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
983    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
984      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
985    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
986    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
987      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
988      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
989    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
990      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
991    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
992      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
993    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
994    o seaice:
995      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
996      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
997        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
998      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
999      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
1000        C-grid solver
1001      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
1002      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
1003        are now exclusive)
1004      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
1005        required re-ordering the code a little:
1006       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
1007       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
1008         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
1009    
1010    checkpoint58b_post
1011    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
1012      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
1013    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
1014      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
1015      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
1016      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
1017    o adjoint:
1018      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
1019      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
1020    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
1021     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
1022      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
1023     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
1024    o ecco
1025      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
1026    o adjoint
1027      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
1028      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
1029      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
1030        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
1031    o seaice:
1032     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
1033       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
1034         and ostres
1035       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
1036         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
1037         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
1038     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
1039     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
1040       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
1041       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
1042       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
1043    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
1044      include it only where its needed
1045    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
1046    o seaice:
1047      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
1048      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
1049      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
1050  o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).  o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
1051    update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)    update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
