4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/kpp:
8     -add double diffusive contributions as a hack, turned off by default
9      for now, and the code can be excluded with a CPP-flag
10      EXCLUDE_KPP_DOUBLEDIFF just as EXCLUDE_KPP_SHEAR_MIX
11     -add a verification experiments to "vermix" to test this code
12    o pkg/mom_common:
13      Move computation of length scales to mom_init_fixed.F (avoid recomputation
14      at each time-steps*levels).
15    o pkg/layers:
16      Created a new package for computing volume fluxes in temperature or
17      [not yet implemented] density layers, e.g. for calculating residual
18      overturning circulations.
19    o pkg/diagnostics:
20      implement a RS type version for the set of DIAGNOSTICS-FILL subroutines
21    o fix few RS/RL type mismatch (check with ifort 11.1 "-warn all" option)
22    o pkg/mdsio (& pkg/rw): rework high level S/R interface:
23      To avoid mixing type (RS/RL) of input/output array argument,
24      replace single mixed-type array with a pair from each type (RS/RL).
25    o setting pickupSuff force to start from a pickup (even if nIter0=0): this
26      is now implemented for all pkgs (previously only done for the main pickup)
27    
28    checkpoint61u
29    o pkg/obcs:
30      - change OB?eta from _RS to _RL and put them into a separate commen block
31      - add code to read OB?eta from a file via obcs_prescribe_read: the code
32        compiles and does not destroy any other experiments, the data is read
33        properly, but the code is not tested in actual applications
34    o ini_mnc_vars.F: if available (ALLOW_CAL), use startTime_1 and 2 to
35      create a meaningful unit attribute for the time coordinate variable
36    o pkg/ebm: add plenty of missing "_d 0" ;
37       update results of experiment global_ocean_ebm (fwd + adjoint tests)
38      Notes: several pieces of code only works for (very) specific set up
39       (domain size, lat range, etc ...); should be documented & stop if one
40       of those assumptions is not meet.
41    o pkg/seaice: add missing "_d 0" in HSNOW initialisation
42       update results of experiments: lab_sea (3 fwd tests + 2 adjoint tests)
43          and offline_exf_seaice (seaicetd + adjoint).
44    o add missing "_d 0" in ShortWave flux penetration (S/R SWFRAC):
45       update results of experiments: lab_sea (4 fwd tests + 3 adjoint),
46        seaice_obcs, global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn & thsice) and natl_box (x2).
47    o few changes to pass when compiling with strick checking of arguments
48       across S/R (allow to find few bugs in S/R calls).
49    o pkg/seaice:
50     - seaice_evp: move if-statement out of loop (TEM) at the cost of 11 new
51       2d-fields, for slightly better performance
52    
53    checkpoint61t
54    o pkg/seaice:
55     - remove unused variables in seaice_evp
56     - reduce number of SQRT in seaice_evp and seaice_calc_viscosities
57    o eeset_parms.F, open_copy_data_file.F & ini_parms.F:
58       named file replacing SCRATCH files (for TARGET_BGL & TARGET_CRAYXT):
59       each processor opens a different file (a fix from Matt).
60    o cg2d:
61       use simple EXCH (overlap size = 1 and ignore corners), like in cg3d.F :
62       this reduces number of EXCH calls by 2 when using exch2.
63       For now, keep previous size array for gc2d_nsa.F to avoid Pb with store
64       directives and missing simple EXCH (exch_s3d_rx) adjoint code.
65    o pkg/thsice:
66       add code for Near Infra-Red albedo (from Jeff)
67       (turned on with run-time flag: thSIce_calc_albNIR, in data.ice).
68    o ini_model_io:
69       move (from packages_readparms.F & initialise_fixed.F) to ini_model_io.F
70       MNC & MONITOR initialisation calls; move MNC calls from {pkg}_readparms.F
71       to {pkg}_init_fixed.F for {pkg}= kpp, seaice & shelfice.
72    
73    checkpoint61s
74    o pkg/exch2 (exch2_rxN_cube*):
75       remove last BARRIER (no need to synchronise after getting data from shared
76       buffer (get) as long as any change to buffer (put,recv) is between BARRIER)
77    o change tiling of natl_box (from 2 to 4 tiles) to get it tested with MPI+MTH
78      and generate new output (for the 2 tests) using default rotationPeriod.
79    o pkg/exch2:
80      - always call exch2_*_cube, not exch-1 anymore, if useCubedSphereExchange=F
81        (was already the case with AUTODIFF_EXCH2 defined)
82      - add bj in exch2 arrays and S/R.
83      - can now use pkg/exch2 for regular (non CS) set-up; switch test experiment
84        MLAdjust to exch2 (identical results except with MPI -> truncation diff);
85    o add pkg/longstep for ptracer timestep a multiple of U/V/T/S timestep
86      - adds deltaT argument to the subroutines TIMESTEP_TRACER DWNSLP_APPLY
87        GAD_ADVECTION GAD_CALC_RHS GAD_IMPLICIT_R GAD_SOM_ADVECT
88      - verification experiment natl_box.longstep
89    o build_options: ifort+mpi_aces optfile (following Constantinos advise):
90      allow different versions of ifort (8 or 9) and different versions
91       of mpi (mpich or mpich2) to be used with the same optfile.
92      requires to load a netcdf module and set MPI_INC_DIR (see comments inside
93       optfile). Change testing scripts (example_scripts/ACESgrid) accordingly.
94    o pkg/seaice:
95      fix previous modif (3-level field removed) for old-pickup reading
96    
97    checkpoint61r
98    o pkg/seaice:
99     - clean up the 3-time levels of UICE,VICE,HEFF,AREA in three steps:
100      1. introduce fields for time step (N-1)
101      2. do not use levels 2 and 3 anymore (but keep them)
102      3. replace 3D versions of UICE,VICE,HEFF,AREA by 2D versions. This
103         includes changes to pkg/thsice/thsice_get_velocity.F,
104         model/src/external_forcing_surf.F, pkg/obcs/obcs_apply_seaice.F, and
105         pkg/obcs/obcs_apply_uvice.F.
106     - completely remove code for leap-frog time stepping for second order
107       advection
108     - adjusted adjoint accordingly;
109       gradient checks have improved by an order of magnitude!
110    
111    checkpoint61q
112    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in free slip boundary conditons for LSOR solver
113     - the boundary conditions along open boundaries are unclear, because the
114       associated masks are set to zero and are thus treated as closed when
115       applying the slip-boundary conditions.
116     - move initialisation of grid variables from seaice_init_varia to _fixed
117    o adding doc/diags_changes.txt
118    o model/src:
119      do_the_model_io: rename few pkg S/R which are called from do_the_model_io,
120       to avoid "_diags" naming if no relation to pkg/diagnostics.
121      ini_theta,ini_salt: fix (at least compile the code) reading from NetCDF
122       file and only call PLOT_FIELD_XYZ if debugMode=T.
123      remove few PLOT_FIELD_XY calls outside initialisation.
124      remove few unnecessary BARRIER.
125    o pkg/salt_plume: add SaltPlumeSouthernOcean to allow disabling
126      of salt_plume package in Southern Ocean
127    o pkg/thsice:
128     - fix hOceMxL in overlap (needed for sea-ice advection);
129       update output of experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn.
130    o pkg/seaice:
131     - make the (placeholder-)tracer IceAge a little more meaningful
132      by avoiding ridging of age due to convergent ice flow
133     - add diagnostics for surface temperature, atmospheric and oceanic
134       heat flux, and atmospheric and oceanic ice growth
135    
136    checkpoint61p
137    o eesupp (global_max & global_sum):
138     - add one more element to buffer (start at index 0) for GL_MAX/SUM output;
139     - remove starting & endding barrier (no longer needed)
140    o pkg/mdsio, writelocal:
141       works also in multi-threaded when LOCBIN_IO_THREAD_SAFE is undefined
142       (remove the STOP): uses shared buffer IO to store data from all threads
143       and then let master-thread write nThreads tiles.
144    o pkg/mdsio (read/write field):
145     - tiled IO done in 1 piece (all levels at a time);
146     - new header file "MDSIO_BUFF_3D.h" with 3-D buffers.
147     - multi-threaded: allow to read/write local (non-shared) array
148       (was already working with singleCpuIO ; now works also without);
149       => no longer needs barrier call after reading a file (added inside
150       mds_read/write field).
151     - move barrier calls outside gather/scatter_2d to mds_read/write_field
152    o pkg/obcs/exf
153      - exf_getffieldrec.F: add a few ". _d 0" and
154                            add code to catch the case fldperiod = 0.  
155      - obcs_precribe_read.F: change if statements so that they match
156                              the variable type (_RL)
157      - add a separate exf_iprec_obcs to exf_set_obcs (by default equal to
158        exf_iprec) as part of namelist EXF_NML_01
159    o pkg/mdsio:
160      - read/write tiled (local) files: read/write 1-level tile chunk at a time
161        (instead of segment of length sNx); expected to speed up tiled IO.
162    o pkg/exch2:
163      - take buffer copy from/to array out of S/R exch2_send/recv into new
164        S/R exch2_put/get ; Exch of local variable now works with MPI+MTH
165        (tested by removing commom block statement in SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE.h).
166      - ad version of send/recv no longer needed (but needs exch2_ad_put/ad_get)
167      - simplify argument list of S/R exch2_get_uv_bounds and exch2_get_scal_bounds
168        (which replaces exch2_get_recv_bounds & exch2_get_send_bounds) by
169        including Topology header file (and common blocks).
170      - implement EXCH_IGNORE_CORNERS in scalar exchange (rx1);
171        remove 2nd exch call in exch2_s3d_rx (no longer needed).
172      - document S/R arg. list (+ update some comments)
173    o pkg/seaice:
174      - added SEAICE_CLIM_AIR code, which permits modulation of surface air
175        temperature and humidity over sea ice based on climatological values.
176      - clean up computation of Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling for the case
177        of LSR (this change is expected to change the results slightly because now
178        it uses slightly difference moduli from the second last LSR solution, but
179        that is more consistent with the stress computations; this part of the code
180        is not tested in the verification experiments)
181      - fix diagnostics for flux of ice in case of B-grid
182      - turn strain rates eij and press into global fields within global
183        common block in SEAICE.h for more straighforward diagnostics
184      - fix diagnostics for principal stress components, press, zeta, eta
185        to give something meaning full
186    o change tiling of global_ocean.cs32x15 (12 tiles, 32x16) and generate
187      new output (all 4 tests) using default rotationPeriod.
188    o pkg KPP:
189      - add flag (LimitHblStable) to avoid limiting BL depth under stable conditions
190      - fix vertical indices in RI_IWMIX (match between KPP grid from 0 to Nr+1
191        and normal grid from 1 to Nr)
192    o Fix computations of L4rdt in mom_calc_visc.F
193    o eesupp:
194      new S/R ALL_PROC_DIE (like EEDIE, without irrelevant threads err msg):
195      should be called before a "stop" if we know that all process are going
196      to stop; if one Proc does call this S/R, will hang in MPI_FINALISE.
197    
198    checkpoint61o
199    o pkg/exch2: change check_depths to issue just a warning (instead of error+stop)
200    o model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F:
201       compute angleSin/CosC when they are not read from a file
202    o pkg/seaice:
203       add pseudo time stepping for LSOR
204    o pkg/exch2:
205       temporary fix for exch2_s3d_rx; update results of exp. hs94.cs-32x32x5.impIGW
206    o pkg/seaice:
207       Adding separate sea ice albedo, drag coefficients, and HO in Southern
208       Ocean from those in Arctic Ocean.  See *_south in SEAICE_PARAMS.h
209    o SingleCpuIO:
210       fix bug put before chkp61n (May 11), when more than 2 MPI cpu are used.
211    o pkg/seaice:
212       put exchanged variable in (local) common block for MPI+Multi-Threads
213       to work (necessary with exch1, and for now with exch2 too).
214    o verification: to get more experiments tested with mpi, mth and mpi+mth,
215      change tiling of:
216       aim.5l_Equatorial_Channel, aim.5l_LatLon, dome, exp4, global_ocean.90x40x15,
217       hs94.cs-32x32x5, MLAdjust, offline_exf_seaice & tutorial_plume_on_slope
218      update output of exp:
219       exp4, global_ocean.90x40x15(+.dwslp), MLAdjust(all 5),
220       tutorial_plume_on_slope and hs94.cs-32x32x5 (use default rotationPeriod)
221      + ideal_2D_ocean: use default rotation period + test Global_Sum_SINGLECPU
222                       (note: output.txt generated on faulks using only 1 tile)
223    o eesupp & mdsio (SingleCpuIO):
224     - remove MISSING_TILE_IO (from MDSIO_OPTIONS.h), replaced by run-time
225       parameter "W2_useE2ioLayOut" (read from file "data.exch2").
226       Note: was not effective for globalFile & useSingleCpuIO=F; now fixed.
227     - move MDSIO_SCPU.h (pkg/mdsio) to EEBUFF_SCPU.h (eesupp/inc).
228     - fix GLOBAL_SUM_SINGLECPU when using Exch2; re-use same buffers and same
229       gather/scatter S/R as with SingleCpuIO (=> 1 less 2D global RL array).
230    o pkg/exch2:
231     - new code to set-up W2-Exch2 topology (replace matlab-topology-generator):
232       read parameter file "data.exch2" if it exists; otherwise try default regular
233       cube without blank-tile; new header file "W2_EXCH2_SIZE.h";
234     - update matlab-topology-generator (exch2_setup_cs6_print.m) to be compatible
235       with new code (not to be used, just as a backup solution).
236     - add examples (e.g., for lat-lon-cap_120) of parameter file "data.exch2"
237       in utils/exch2/input.
238    
239    checkpoint61n
240    o eesupp & mdsio (SingleCpuIO):
241      - move mapping to global io-buffer inside gather_2d/scater_2d: this save
242        memory (1 less 2D global RL array); skip 1 buffer copy; and only send/
243        receive real*4 array (instead of real*8) to read/write 32.bit files.
244        (new template for gather_2d/scater_2d, new set of S/R MDS_PASS_R4,8toRL,S
245         and remove new mapping S/R)
246    o pkg/mdsio: in preparation for topology-generator within pkg/exch2:
247      - Change declaration of SingleCpuIO buffer, reduced to only 1 dim.:
248        xyBuffer_size, which is set to W2_ioBufferSize from W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h
249        when using exch2. Add S/R to map global io-buffer to global model array.
250      - uses exch2_global_Nx,y instead of exch2_domain_nxt,nyt.
251    
252    checkpoint61m
253    o write_utils : change WRITE_1D_R8 to WRITE_1D_RL
254      and add 3 other S/R for other types (R4,R8,RS).
255      Change calls to WRITE_0D/1D_R[4,8,S,L] to match the type of argument.
256    o eesupp/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h (EXCH & GLOBAL_SUM/MAX macros):
257     - ensure suffix (_R4,_R8,_RS,_RL) correspondance between macro and S/R ;
258     - reduce number of macro definitions (keep only those which are used);
259       can always call directly the corrresponding S/R if needed.
260     - everywhere in the code: change macros (EXCH & GLOBAL_SUM/MAX) suffix
261       _R4/_R8 to _RS/_RL when applied to _RS/_RL variable.
262     Fixed wrong type of arg in:
263       atm2d/put_ocnvars.F cheapaml/cheapaml.F ocn_compon_interf/ocn_apply_import.F
264       ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F seaice/seaice_do_diags.F seaice/seaice_model.F
265     To fix: global_sum of var in common block is wrong (multi-threaded) in:
266       dic/dic_atmos.F ebm/ebm_area_t.F ebm/ebm_zonalmean.F sbo/sbo_calc.F
267     To fix: aim_v23/aim_do_co2.F (BARRIER & GLOBAL_SUM within bi,bj loops)
268    o adjustment.cs-32x32x1: test "blank tiles" when compiling with mpi; 2nd
269      "nlfs" mpi test is going to stop when checking for unconnected tile egdes.
270    o eesupp/src: new S/R to stop everyone when 1 (or more) Proc. find an error
271    o pkg/exch2: new S/R EXCH2_CHECK_DEPTHS to check that unconnected tile
272      edges are closed (zero depth); might happen with "blank tiles";
273      for now, disabled if using OBCS.
274    o tools/gemake2: delete modifs from March 27-29 2009 (with option "-mpi":
275      link *_mpi files from "MODS" dir) to return to a strait-forward behavior.
276    o move read_write.F to write_utils.F ; new parameter (maxLengthPrt1D)
277      to reduce length of 1.D array print in STDOUT.
278    o adjustment.cs-32x32x1: changed to oceanic test with 1 continent
279      + use 48 tiles (16x8): this will allow to test "blank tiles".
280    o start to test MPI + multi-threaded (change testreport to skip tests
281      where number of tiles do not match).
282    o genmake2: add option "-omp" to turn on Open-MP ;
283      passed to testreport (if using -mth) ; merge few (*+mth) optfiles.
284    o pkg/exch2 (+ utils/exch2): ignore blank tiles (instead of removing them)
285      and keep the original tile numbering. Note: compatible with old
286      W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h & w2_e2setup.F topology files.
287    
288    checkpoint61l
289    o Overlaps had been forgotten in calculating ijk keys : fixed
290    o fix cyrus makedepend for gcc 4.4
291    o experiment fizhi-cs-aqualev20:
292      switching to new version of S/R GETPWHERE (#define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE)
293      and generate new output. Note: new output is much closer to the old
294      one (v1.8) generated with pgf77 -O2 on Mar 14 2007 than it is from
295      the previous one (v1.9) generated with pgf77 -O0 on Jun 13 2007.
296    o pkg/fizhi:
297     - change to avoid indices going deliberately over array-bounds
298     - remove unnecessary MPI stuff
299     - perpetual spring equinox with "#define FIZHI_USE_FIXED_DAY"
300     - new version of S/R GETPWHERE available with #define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE:
301       does not go over array-bounds and therefore returns reliable output.
302     - in fizhi_driver.F & fizhi_turb.F, fix "get_alarm" calls:
303       this S/R has 4 output arguments, which are used inside "get_alarm";
304       when it is called with the same variable "ndum" in place of several
305       output arguments, this produces weird side effect inside "get_alarm"
306      (e.g., datein=dates(n) is overwritten by timein=times(n) since both
307       datein & timein, resp. 2nd and 3rd arg., are pointed to the same "ndum"
308       address) and produces error.
309    o tools/gemake2: (March 27-29 2009)
310      with option "-mpi": link *_mpi files from "MODS" dir (this is what
311      testreport does).
312    o lab_sea experiment: change from 2x1 tiles to 2x2 tiles and regenerate output
313    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in new version of S/R SEAICE_LSR.F:
314       update lab_sea.lsr & lab_sea.salt_plume results
315    o pkg/seaice:
316      Major overhaul of the LSOR solver: change discretization from original
317      finite differences to finite volume. The old routine is still in the
318      file seaice_lsr.F and can be turned on with the CPP-flag
319      SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION
320      Along with this change, the discretization of the strain rates is changed.
321      The same flag turns on the old discretization in seaice_calc_strainrates.F
322      All verification experiments with seaice are affected (except for
323      seaice_exf_offline); global_ocean.cs32x15/input.icedyn recovers the old
324      results by setting the above flag.
325      Further changes involve changes in defaults:
326      - ALLOW_FLOODING is defined and turned on by default
327      - SEAICEadvSnow = .true. is now the default
328      - SEAICEadvSalt = .true. is now the default
329      - SEAICEadvAge  = .true. is now the default
330      - SEAICE_clipVelocities  = .false. is now the default
331                                         (as per J. Zhang's recommendation)
332      - B-grid, and thus not tested: SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1/EXPLICIT_SSH_SLOPE
333        is defined, SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 is renamed into SEAICE_BICE_STRESS
334      - seaice_growth: replace computation of UG by a simple copy from wspeed
335    
336    checkpoint61k
337    o pkg/seaice: a few bug fixes mostly concerning the metric terms:
338      seaice_lsr: fixed a few metric terms,
339                  affects lab_sea.lsr, lab_sea.salt_plume, seaice_obcs
340                  add more debugging diagnostics
341      seaice_evp: removed superfluous many metric terms of FV discretization
342                  of stress divergence
343                  affects lab_sea, lab_sea.hb87
344      seaice_ocean_stress: removed superfluous many metric terms of FV discretization
345                  of stress divergence for non-evp solver
346                  (this part is not tested anywhere)
347      seaice_calc_strainrates: fixed a bug in no-slip boundary conditions,
348                  they were effectively only half slip
349                  affects lab_sea.hb87
350      updated all relevant verification experiments (except lab_sea//output_adm.txt
351        which was left over, but fails at level 7 & 6)
352    
353    checkpoint61j
354    o pkg/seaice: turn a few hard wired parameters into run time parameters
355    o pkg/seaice/exf/monitor: turn netcdf coordinate variable T into model
356      time in seconds as promised by the usints in seaice_monitor and exf_monitor

358      that are not cubed-sphere grids
359    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug for the rare case of SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR
360    o pkg/ctrl:
361      fix bug in ctrl_depth_ini.F (EXCH_XYZ was applied to 2-D field xx_r_low)
362    o non-hydrostatic (calc_gw.F):
363      fix viscA4 on CS-grid + fix diagnostics: Wm_Diss & Wm_Advec
364      update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
365    o remove backward compatibility for thetaMin,phiMin
366      (replaced by xgOrigin,ygOrigin on Jan 27, 2009)
367    o pkg/exf: fix a serious bug in exf_set_uv.F: do a rotation of the
368      interpolated wind field not only for curvilineargrid=.true., but also
369      for a rotated grid (rotateGrid=.true.)
370    o pkg/exf: add capability to bypass interpolation for runoff
371      by setting yet another CPP-flag
372    o eesupp/src, B-grid exchange:
373      add simple (6 tiles, non MPI) CS exch + standard interface S/R.
374    o autodiff
375      new CPP option ALLOW_TAMC_SINGLEPREC_COMLEV
376      allows to switch to single-prec common blocks;
377      corresponding switch occurs in tamc.h, integer isbyte
378      TAF store directivs "byte" and "kind" seem equivalent;
379      Most tamc.h have been updated correspondingly.
380    
381    checkpoint61i
382    o autodiff:
383      fix autodiff_sore/_restore indices for obcs
384      (spotted by I. Hoteit, M. Mazloff)
385    o pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl:
386      Add flag to reduce all tapelev I/O to single-prec.
387      In data.ctrl set
388        doSinglePrecTapelev = .TRUE.
389    o model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F, new grid-file format without EXCH2:
390      check in hack for SX8 compiler (for dxV, dyU); remove it afterwards.
391    o pkg/shelfice: fix bug with SHELFICEconserve flag, prepare for
392      real fresh water flux (not yet)
393    o pkg/mdsio & rw:
394     - add argument & option to S/R MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC (avoid Open/Close & write-meta)
395     - add simple interface S/R to MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC in pkg/rw: WRITE_GLVEC_RX.
396    o pkg/flt:
397     - replace FLT_INIT by 3-steps standard initialization S/R: readparms,
398       init_fixed & ini_varia.
399     - clean-up & simplify linear interpolation S/R:
400       move flt_bilinear.F -> flt_interp_linear.F ; add arg. myThid.
401     - fix some indices (mainly vertical index) ; add IMPLICIT NONE.
402     - more efficient I/O, using new options of MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC S/R.
403     - add vert. coordinate & horiz. indices to output files.
404     - change vertical position in initial condition, from index to depth [m].
405     - store horizontal (decimal) indices i,j in common block (instead of coord. x,y)
406       (easier to get to a curvilinear grid) ; delX,delY no longer used.
407    o pkg/ggl90: a few modifications:
408     - fix bottom boundary condition, and interpolation of KappaE
409       near top and bottom
410     - use same set of viscosity/diffusivity for TKE/momnetum/tracer
411     - add smoothing option as in Blanke and Delecluse (1993) (--> ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH)
412     - add a few options for mixing-length upper limit (--> mxlMaxFlag)  
413    o rename thetaMin,phiMin -> xgOrigin,ygOrigin
414      (maintain temporary backward compatibility, until next checkpoint)
415    
416    checkpoint61h
417    o pkg/diagnostics with "periodic averaging diagnostics":
418      fix S/R DIAGNOSTICS_COUNT ; hack diagnostics_out.F to get NetCDF output.
419    o pkg/my82: add missing "_d 0" ; update output of exp. vermix.my82
420    o pkg/obcs: fix loop ranges for balancing code
421    o pkg/flt:
422     - improve criteria for finding which tile owns a float.
423     - fix FLT_EXCH for case without MPI ; apply cyclic BC + fix also the MPI case.
424    o Add well-mixed CO2 box in aim_v23 (which includes changes in pkg
425      aim_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf, gchem, and dic to get coupling
426      with ocean biogeo)
427    o pkg/flt:
428     - do some cleaning and fix the restart ;
429     - add output.txt in flt_example/results to get this pkg tested.
430    o genmake2: add an EXTENDED_SRC option and flag.
431       for now, cannot be turned on on command line (only through genmake_local)
432    o pkg/mdsio: read/write vector:
433     - singleCpuIO: fix RL/RS in MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_BUFFERtoRL/RS
434     - singleCpuIO=F: fix arrType & filePrec & _BYTESWAPIO in both MDSREADVECTOR
435       & MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_RD/WR_VEC_RL/RS.
436     - affects gradient of test-exp "bottom_ctrl_5x5" (not due to _BYTESWAPIO)
437      (drop to 4 digits matching for grad). But this test does not look very
438      reliable (was already failling on eddy, fc5, at 6.digits). Update output.
439    
440    checkpoint61g
441    o pkg/flt:
442      - move FLT_CPPOPTIONS.h to FLT_OPTIONS.h (standard name)
443       + make OPTIONS file more standard.
444      - rename S/R MDSREADVECTOR_FLT to FLT_MDSREADVECTOR (to mach src file name)
445      - fix _BYTESWAPIO CPP-Flag
446      - standard reading of file-parameter "data.flt"
447      - fix argument list of S/R FLT_RESTART
448      still need to fix _BYTESWAPIO in pkg/mdsio/mdsio_writevector.F
449    o pkg/obcs: fix a CPP-flag, bug reported by Jeff Blundell
450    o gather_2d.F/scatter_2d.F: suppress vectorisation on NEC SX in respond to
451      a still unfixed compiler/optimization bug
452    
453    checkpoint61f
454    o pkg/seaice, LSR solver: fix bug in GLOBAL_MAX calls ;
455      update results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn test.
456    o move getcon.F from model/src to pkg/fizhi.
457    o pkg/exf: add parameter for extrapolation of temp up to the surface
458       and option to prevent negative evap (in bulk_largeyeager04 only).
459    o Prather Advection scheme: fix tracer conservation for divergent flow
460      (e.g., when using NonLin Free-Surface).
461    o kpp: retire KPPmld diagnostics --> use MXLDEPTH instead
462    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
463     - add more parameters to Visbeck-variable-K.
464     - use a 5 points average for dSigmaR in Visbeck-K calculation
465       (more "homogenous": same stencil and same weights as in dSigmaH)
466     - update output of ideal_2D_oce experiment.
467    o fix CPP-flag REAL4_IS_SLOW, when _RS expands into real*4
468      (#undef REAL4_IS_SLOW)
469     - pkg/mnc/mnc_cw_cvars.F: write _RS-grid variable as netcdf-real*4
470       coordinate variable
471     - pkg/monitor/monitor.F: call mon_printstats_rs for _RS variables
472       (surface forcing fields), removes some of the functionality
473     - model/src/write_grid.F: write _RS variables as RS-netcdf variables
474     - model/src/diags_oceanic_surf_flux.F: fix a few diagnostics, but
475       probably not all: copy _RS surface flux fields to RL field before
476       calling DIAGNOSTICS_FILL
477     - model/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h: make the _EXCH_*_RS macros expand into
478       real*4 (CALL EXCH_*_RS) versions.
479     - tested in 2 experiments: inverted_barometer & solid-body.cs-32x32x1
480       (generate new output).
481    
482    checkpoint61e
483    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
484      - fix the "OLD_VISBECK_CALC" option + move the #undef to GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
485      - change computation of Visbeck-K where Slope > Smax :        
486        now: N*min(Slope,Smax) (similar to OLD_VISBECK_CALC with gkw91 taperFct)
487        previously was: M*sqrt(min(Slope,Smax)) ; update ideal_2D_oce output.
488    o bottom-drag in P-coord.: change units of bottomDragLinear & bottomDragQuadratic
489      to be the same as with Z-coord. (i.e., m/s & no-units respectively).
490    o calc_viscosity: fix index range (was wrong for CD-Scheme & explicit Visc)
491    o pkg gmredi, linear & fm07 tapering: put an upper limit on Slope^2 so that Kwz
492      does not become too large (to avoid precision problems in implicit-diffusion
493      solver); update ideal_2D_oce output.
494    o pkg ggl90:
495      - in ggl90_cal.F: compute only one set of visc/diff, used to
496        step forward TKE/T/S/momentum
497      - default value of GGL90viscMax/GGL90diffMax larger and equal (to
498        have Prandlt =1)
499    o gmredi (fm07):
500      - add lower limit on Transition layer thickness + lower limit on 1/lambda
501      - allow to set few more params from data.gmredi
502    o pkg ggl90:
503          - add missing sqrt(2) factor in computation of mixing length
504            scale in ggl90_calc.F
505            (see Eq. (2.35) in Blanke and Delecluse, JPO, 1993)
506    
507    checkpoint61d
508    o adjoint modifs
509      - adapt to new field rhoInSitu
510      - allow to revert from StoreDynVars2D, StoreDynVars3D
511        to individual fields
512        (switches AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_2D, AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_3D)
513    o store 3-D (in-situ) density in commom block (DYNVARS.h)
514     - save 1 rho computation.
515     - no longer modify T & S inland when using down_slope pkg.
516    o gad_som : allow to switch to SOM advection for T & S without corresponding
517      pickup files (using new S/R: MDS_CHECK4FILE).
518    o keep removing _BEGIN/_END_MASTER between MDSIO S/R call
519      (for useSingleCpuIO to work in multi-threaded)
520    o pkg/shelfice:
521     - disentangle parameters: retire shelfIceFile in data/PARM05 and substitute
522       with SHELFICEtopoFile in data.shelfice
523     - move code for reading ice shelf topography and modifying hFacC into separate
524       subroutines of the shelfice package
525     - separate initialisation of "fixed" and "variable" variables
526     - kTopC is not (yet) replaced by kSurfC, although this is possible
527    o fix broken diagnostic SIatmFW and changed the units from m/s to kg/m^2/s
528    o add initialisation of deepFac if using Pcoords (new S/R set_grid_factors)
529      and rename:
530      ini_phiref.F          --> set_ref_state.F  (+ set anelastic factors)
531      ini_reference_state.F --> load_ref_files.F (- set anelastic factors)
532    o change FIND_RHO_SCALAR : return rho (instead of rho - rhoConst)
533    
534    checkpoint61c
535    o add option ALLOW_ADDFLUID and run-time selector "selectAddFluid"
536      to add mass source/sink of fluid in the interior (3-D generalisation
537      of oceanic real-fresh water flux).
538    o pkg/monitor: fix recip_dr argument in mon_advcflw2 call (-> advcfl_W_hf_max)
539    o vermix test experiment: switch from LINEAR EOS to MDJWF (not tested before)
540    o new pkg: down_slope
541      density-driven downsloping flow parameterisation (Tellus, 1999, 412-430).
542      - presently, modify T & S inland (dwnslp_calc_rho.F).
543        can be avoided if rho was stored in common bloc and used in calc_phi_hyd.
544      - implementation for ocean in P-coords not tested.
545      - add secondary test to global_ocean.90x40x15 (input.dwnslp) to check this pkg.
546    o move kSurfC,kSurfW & kSurfS from SURFACE.h to GRID.h (next to kLowC)
547      (to facilitate conversion of oceanic pkg to p-coordinate).
548    o change FIND_RHO to FIND_RHO_2D :
549      pass arguments tFld & sFld as local (tile) 2D-arrays ; +fix EOS_CHECK.
550    o new pkg: cheapaml
551    
552    checkpoint61b
553    o exch2:
554      change index bounds in rx2_cube exchanges (new S/R: EXCH2_GET_UV_BOUNDS)
555      - no longer depend on the order sequence (N,S,E,W).
556      - 3rd exchange no longer needed (tested with 24 tiles).
557      - same modif to hand-written adjoint S/R (global_ocean.cs32x15: zero diff)
558      - exch_UV_A-grid readily available (but not yet tested).
559      comment out 3rd exch call and remove copy of V to U at SE & NE face-corners
560      (both are no longer needed) in exch_uv: no effect in forward run; but
561       get truncation error differences with adjoint exch.
562    o exch2:
563     - change index-bounds storage (moved from target to local tile,
564       more intuitive this way) ; rename/remove some variables.
565     - change utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator & code_mods accordingly.
566    
567    checkpoint61a
568    o exch2/matlab-topology-generator:
569      fix bug in index bounds for N-S internal exchange (hard to tell if this
570      had any effect on the solution).
571    o pkg/mnc: small fix in mnc_handle_err: make sure that length of msgbuf
572      is exceeded
573    o testreport: modify syntax of awk, so that it works also with
574      awk, and not only with nawk and gawk
575    
576    checkpoint61
577    o autodiff
578      Change default for TAF usage by removing argument '-nonew_arg'
579      This changes TAF subroutine argument list (ordering of active var.)
580      Omission of this flag leads to incompatibility w.r.t. TAMC
581      To restore TAMC-compatibility, need following modifs:
582      * use adoptfile tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_tamc_compatibility
583      * use CPP option #define AUTODIFF_TAMC_COMPATIBILITY
584      Tested TAF version is 1.9.22
585      N.B.: exch2 hand-written adjoint code currently not TAMC compatible
586    
587    checkpoint60
588    --->>> This is the last checkpoint for which generating the adjoint
589    --->>> is done via the TAMC-compatibility TAF-flag "-nonewarg"
590    --->>> by default.
591    --->>> Future checkpoints will ommit this flag by default.
592    o pkg/generic_advdiff, os7mp: simplify and avoid division by zero.
593    o pkg/grdchk: Add gradient check to etan0 perturbations.
594    o pkg/exf: read ice area from file (#ifdef ALLOW_ICE_AREAMASK).
595    o pkg/autodiff: more flexibility in zeroadj.
596      model/src: modifying do_oceanic_phys.F accordingly.
597    o pkg/ctrl: Bounds for (kapgm,kapredi,eddypsi) parameter estimation.
598    o model/src and pkg/gmredi: GMREDI_WITH_STABLE_ADJOINT CPP option
599      special setup of gmredi for which the adjoint is stable
600      enough for parameter optimization.
601    o bridging the gap between eddy stress and GM.
602      -> eddyTau is replaced with eddyPsi (eddyTau = f x rho0 x eddyPsi)
603          along with a change in CPP option (now ALLOW_EDDYPSI).
604      -> when using GM w/ GM_AdvForm:
605          The total eddy streamfunction (Psi = eddyPsi + K x Slope)
606          is applied either in the tracer Eq. or in momentum Eq.
607          depending on data.gmredi (intro. GM_InMomAsStress).
608      -> ALLOW_EDDYPSI_CONTROL for estimation purpose.
609      The key modifications are in model/src/taueddy_external_forcing.F
610      pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_*F pkg/gmredi/gmredi_*transport.F
611    
612    checkpoint59r
613    o new S/R (pkg/mdsio/mdsio_facef_read.F) reading of sNx+1 x sNy+1 array
614      from per-face file (take S/R READSYMTILE_RS out of ini_curvilinear_grid.F);
615      fix option to read coriolis(@ cell-corner) from files with CS-grid.
616    o pkg/mnc: add some attributes to standard 1D-coordinate variables
617    o pkg/diagnostics: enforce missing_value attribute for scalar variables at
618      mass points, when using mnc for output
619      - add runtime parameter (missing_value, missing_value_int) to override
620        default (which is the value of getcon('UNDEF'))
621    o pkg/mnc: prepare mnc for the actual use of missing values with the
622      diagnostics package: small fix in mnc_cw_readwrite.template and more
623      initialisation of never used fields
624      - replace mnc_common.h and mnc_id_header.h with corresponding upper case
625      versions
626    o pkg/thsice/thsice_ini_vars.F added default initial values so that
627      thermodynamics sea ice solver does not blow up when some initial fields
628      are missing.
629    o move from external_forcing_surf.F to ini_forcing.F
630      the p-coord. hack consisting in using pLoad to set phi0surf ;
631      update output of tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
632    o Freshen up a bit hs94.1x64x5, notably:
633      remove rotationPeriod and tRef=5*0. (adjoint only), and add
634      exactConserv=.TRUE.
635    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
636      change option GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT to GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV which only
637      applies to files where Temperature & Salinity 2nd Order moments are used.
638    o pkg/ptracers: add second-order moment advection schemes (80 and 81);
639      this uses a dynamically allocated internal state data structure
640      (#define PTRACERS_ALLOW_DYN_STATE in PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h)
641      and requires a fortran 90 compiler
642    
643    checkpoint59q
644    o pkg/mom_vecinv: Add energy & enstrophy conserving scheme (selectVortScheme=3)
645       (from Sadourny, described by Burridge & Haseler, ECMWF Rep.4, 1977)
646    o Refresh tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, notably:
647      - change bathymetry (put back seamounts in ACC, use hFacs)
648      - change EOS (POLY3 --> JMD95Z)
649      - use Bryan-Lewis vertical diffusivity
650      - use multidimensional advection
651      - remove old virtual virtual in dic pkg, now done through ptracer pkg
652      - change a couple of parameters in dic pkg
653    o pkg/ctrl: change formula in adctrl_bound.F and add a parameter to ctrl_map_ini_gen.F
654    o pkg/obcs: change default to OBCSfixTopo = .true.,
655      - set OBCSfixTopo=.false. in exp4/input/data.obcs to reproduce old result
656      - replace "debugMode" with "debugLevel .GE. debLevB"
657    o implementation of TAF directives for gchem,cfc,dic
658    o remove "exp5" (replaced by tutorial_deep_convection).
659    o pkg/obcs: add code to fix topography gradients normal to open boundaries;
660      this requires computing the index fields OB_Jn/Js/Ie/Iw in obcs_readparms;
661      the code can be turned on by setting OBCSfixTopo = .true. in data.obcs
662      --> changes results in exp4, seaice_obcs
663    o tutorial_deep_convection :
664      update the set-up and increase resolution and domain size ; start
665      from pseudo initial conditions = output at t=120mn in order to see
666      something happening when running testreport.
667    o pkg/seaice: add os7mp as an advection scheme
668                  add check for advection schemes
669                  add a flag for restoring T and S underneath sea ice
670    o pkg/my82: add netcdf-support and diagnostics
671    o thsice pkg:
672      - Now hsMax limits snow height by turning it into ice following
673        flooding scheme (and now conserving energy)
674      - Slight rewriting of the formula in thsice_calc_thick.F
675      - Parameter rhowi eliminated to be replaced by floodFac = (rhosw-rhoi)/rhos
676      --> changes results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn and global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
677    
678    checkpoint59p
679    o gchem / dic / cfc :
680      - add useDIC, useCFC , read from "data.gchem" (& hold in GCHEM.h);
681      - add new parameter files: "data.dic" & "data.cfc" ;
682      - various re-arrangement in initialisation & header file ;
683      - fix tutorial_global_oce_biogeo for multi-threaded test.
684    o pkg/dic: test for "pickup_dic" file when restarting ;
685      if no pickup-file, can restart with a re-initialised pH (same as it did
686      before) providing pickupStrictlyMatch is set to False.
687    o change argument list of S/R PTRACERS_WRITE_PICKUP & MYPACKAGE_WRITE_PICKUP
688      + fix call to S/R GGL90_WRITE_PICKUP & DIC_WRITE_PICKUP
689    o add a "warning" (to Error msg file) when an Active Tracer is not using AB-2
690      and staggerTimeStep is off (needed for stability of Internal-wave dynamics).
691    o move out of PARAMS.h & data the last pieces of old-ptracer code: tauTr1ClimRelax,
692     & lambdaTr1ClimRelax ; put those 2 params in PTRACERS_PARAMS.h & data.ptracers
693       (note: not clear to me what lambdaTr1ClimRelax is still used for ...)
694    o pkg/mom_vecinv: - new parameter "selectVortScheme" to select which
695       scheme to use for vorticty-term ;
696     - compute upwindVorticity=T case within mom_vi_u/v_coriolis_c4.F
697       (with default selectVortScheme, return to original discretisation)
698     - remove weird combination (e.g.: upwindVorticity & highOrderVorticity)
699    o pkg/seaice: add a line to the summary to indicate grid type (B/C)
700    o in mom_calc_visc, fix average value of viscAh_W & viscA4_W next to the
701      bottom ; only used with variable horizontal viscosity and non-hydrostatic.
702      also fix diagnostics VISCAHW & VISCA4W.
703    
704    checkpoint59o
705    o dome/code/obcs_calc.F: avoid division by zero (detected using gfortran).
706    o change the loop ordering in most gad_*_adv_x.F to improve vectorization:
707      move a few statemens out the main loop into separate loops
708    o pkg/shelfice:
709      - sort out freshwater flux; convert freshwater fluxes to mass fluxes
710        (kg/m^2/s), does not break tests, because in verification/isomip,
711        rhoConstFresh=rhoConst (by accident)
712      - rearrange computation of tLoc, sLoc, pLoc to make code more efficient
713      - move S/R find_rho_scalar, pkg/ecco/sw_ptmp.F, pkg/ecco/sw_adtg.F into
714        new file model/src/seawater.F, so that they are available for all pkgs.
715      - convert potential temperature into in-situ temperature. This changes the
716        isomip tests => update tests
717    o add a flag writePickupAtEnd (default=true) to be able to suppress
718      writing a pickup at the last timestep
719    o tools/mpack-1.6 :
720      - disable automake (not working) and autoconf (not needed).
721      - update to version 1.6.4 which fix MD5 code on some 64 bits platforms
722        also cleaner with much less compilation warnings.
723    o pkg/profiles:
724      rename profiles_interp_mean_genericgrid as profiles_interp_mean_gg
725      (for "less than 32 characters name" compiler requirement)
726    o pkg/obcs and pkg/exf: added capability to specify seaice open boundary
727      conditions that have a different sampling frequency than S/T/U/V obcs
728    o pkg/diagnostics (stats-diags):
729      - fix global Min/Max in case 1 processor get only empty tiles
730    o genmake2: replace (4 times)
731         make genmake_tc_1.o >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
732      with
733         COMM="$CC $CFLAGS -c genmake_tc_1.c"
734         echo $COMM >> genmake_warnings
735         $COMM >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
736      to make genmake2 always see the value of CC as specified in the optfile.
737    o generic_advdiff: - prather advection scheme (SOM) coded for CS-grid.
738      - add diagnostics for 1srt & 2nd Order moments and sub-grid variance.
739      - modify verification advect_cs test to test SOM-advection on CS-grid.
740    o pkg/ctrl:
741      - Rewrite of ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F,
742        introducing a generic routine (ctrl_map_ini_gen.F).
743      - Modification of ctrl_bound/adctrl_bound handling control vector bounds.
744    
745    checkpoint59n
746    o pkg/diagnostics: for large number of diagnostics, store diagnostic mate
747      number in dedicate array "hdiag":
748      - new version of S/R DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST : DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST
749        with 1 more argument (mate number); modify old version DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST.
750      - many small changes (integer format) for large number of diagnostics
751      - start to use DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST (necessary for diagnostics with
752        a counter mate) in pkg diagnostics, ptracers, thsice & aim_v23.
753    o add parameter rotateGrid and Euler angles EulerPhi/Theta/Psi. For
754      usingSphericalGrid, this allows to define the rotated grid coordinates
755      via phiMin/thetaMin/dxSpacing/dySpacing, etc., but then re-compute the
756      geographical coordinates according to the inverse of the rotation defined
757      by the Euler angles, so that Coriolis parameter and online-interpolation by
758      exf works with the geographical coordinates on XC/YC/XG/YG.
759      Naturally, this feature does not work with all packages, so some
760      combinations are prohibited in config_summary (flt, flt_zonal, ecco,
761      profiles), because there the coordinates are assumed to be regular
762      spherical grid coordinates.
763    o pkg/gmredi,ctrl,ecco,autodiff,grdchk and model/src,inc:
764      - introduce isopycnal diffusion coefficient control.
765    o tools/adjoint_options:
766      - additional control vector components.
767    o pkg/mnc: have mnc create marginally meaning full coordinate variables
768      (that is the grid indices) if usingCurvilinearGrid and NOT EXCH2
769    o pkg/mypackage:
770      - add example of read/write pickup for state-var ;
771      - add entry points to the main code for state-vars diags & write-pickup.
772    o pkg/exf: rewrite of exf_getffieldrec.F to properly deal with year
773      transitions for useExfYearlyFields
774      - add new subroutine that determines the file to read from for
775        use*YearlyFields = .TRUE. and .FALSE.
776      - add a verification experiment to global_with_exf that tests
777        useExfYearlyFields with USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION defined
778    o pkg/obcs/exf: add useOBCSYearlyFields (=.FALSE.) to obcs with exf in
779      analogy to useExfYearlyFields; rearrange obcs_prescribe_read: two new
780      subroutines (which could be generated from a template, because they are
781      almost identical), for now they are included in obcs_prescribe_read.F for
782      simplicity
783    o pkg/exf:
784      - add a little more diagnostic to exf_interp_read (in analogy to
785        mds_read_field, can be turned off with debugLevel < debugLevA=1)
786      - improve vectorizability of exf_interp for TARGET_NEC_SX, makes code
787        ugly but fast by unrolling short inner loops, inserting a unroll=8
788        directive in routine lagran, and splitting a loop and making do while the
789        outermost loop (the latter requires the intoduction of index arrays)
790    o pkg/obcs: replace obcs_apply_area/heff/hsalt/hsnow with obcs_apply_seaice
791    o pkg/seaice: moved DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE from seaice_model to seaice_dynsolver
792      http://forge.csail.mit.edu/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2008-January/003173.html
793    o verification/seaice_obcs: updated for restart test and latest options
794    o pkg/seaice: add a new flag SEAICEuseTEM to use a slightly different
795      ice rheology (so-called truncated ellipse, that gets rid of tensile stress);
796      for now this is only available for the C-grid code and also within
797      #ifdef SEAICE_ALLOW_TEM, because this option may slow down the EVP code
798    
799    checkpoint59m
800    o pkg/seaice: use different time constant for melting (SEAICE_gamma_t)
801      and freezing (SEAICE_gamma_t_frz) ice due to mixed layer temperature
802    o gad_som : fix flux output (& diagnostics) to have same units as other  
803      advection scheme fluxes (was previously multiplied by deltaT).  
804    o added verification/seaice_obcs both to test seaice open boundaries
805      and to provide an example matlab scrpt for generating them
806    o added verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume for testing pkg/salt_plume
807    o pkg/salt_plume: clean up salt_plume_frac.F to
808      remove redundancy in PlumeMethod 1 and 4
809    o pkg/kpp: added saltplume diagnostics
810    o pkg/obcs and pkg/seaice:
811      - do not set uice and vice to zero when OB*icefile are unspecified
812      - OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE is undefined by default
813      - moved seaice tracer obcs after call to seaice_growth
814    o pkg/salt_plume: added various options for salt plume depth
815      criterion and for vertical distribution of the salt
816    
817    checkpoint59l
818    o pkg/ptracers: new version of ptracers pickup:
819      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
820      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
821    o pkg/seaice:
822      - add timescale for melting due to warm mixed layer as a means of
823        setting SEAICE_availHeatFrac more conveniently
824      - add a CPP-flag/runtime parameter check for flooding algorithm
825      - reformulated availHeat in seaice_growth.F to be independent of AREA
826    o change units attribute of EmPmR netcdf variables to kg/m^2/s to reflect recent
827      unit changes
828    o pkg/obcs: added OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE constraint
829    o cg2d.F: add 3 compiler directives that speed up this routine by 30% on a NEC
830      SX vector computer.
831    o pkg/seaice:
832      - removed SEAICE_FFIELDS.h and seaice_get_forcing.F
833        seaice forcing fields can now be read only through pkg/exf
834      - removed some unused halos
835    o no longer write pickup from THE_MODEL_MAIN but always from FORWARD_STEP
836    o pkg/exf: added useRelativeWind EXF_PARAM.h option for subtracting U/VVEL
837      or U/VICE from U/VWIND before computing U/VSTRESS
838    
839    checkpoint59k
840    o pkg/seaice: ICE2WATR=SEAICE_rhoIce/rhoConst for consistency between
841      dynamics and thermodynamics. Set ICE2WATR=0.92 to reproduce older results.
842    o fix un-initialised variable problem (in mom_vecinv & shap_filt):
843      all experiments pass when compile with un-initialised var. checking option.
844    o added pkg/salt_plume
845    o script to test restart (for now, in MITgcm_contrib/jmc_script)
846    o pkg/seaice: new read/write pickup version.
847      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
848      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
849    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in seaice_ocean_stress (call of seaice_calc_strainrates)
850    o lab_sea.hb87: modify the domain & update output.hb87.txt :
851      lat-long grid & no-slip BC in seaice-dynamics produce different sigma12
852      at j=1 & j=Ny+1 : this case is not treated correctly in the restart
853      process. Fixed here by closing the domain at the Northern boundary.
854    o pkg/rw: cleaning-up: call directly new MDSIO S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD.
855    o pkg/mdsio: add new arguments to MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD for reading/writing
856      a set of consecutive levels in/from a 3-D array.
857    o pkg/ptracers:
858      use a 2 characters string ioLabel to identify tracer (if more than 99 tracers).
859      to-do: fix pkg/diagnostics when large number of diagnostics are defined.
860    
861    checkpoint59j
862    o in pkgs: dic, obcs, offline, rbcs:
863      standard way to compute coeff. for time interpolation between 2 time reccords
864      which retains full precision (& make results less dependent on compiler).
865      update output of exp: tutorial_cfc_offline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
866    o pkg/cfc: if compiled with exf and seaice, cfc now can use fields from those
867      packages instead of reading ice cover and wind speed separately
868    o split PTRACERS.h in 2 header files: PTRACERS_FIELDS.h & PTRACERS_PARAMS.h
869     (keep a temporary version of PTRACERS.h in verification/OpenAD/code_ad_openad
870      to allow to compile customized code before the update)
871    o cleaning-up:
872      - fix CPP instruction syntax in pkg/obcs
873      - replace (some) call to MDSIO S/R with call to RW interface S/R ; and
874        add #ifdef ALLOW_MDSIO elsewhere (allows to compile without pkg/mdsio)
875      - fix some threads issue in IO parts.
876    o pkg/dic:
877      - add tons of "_d 0" (--> much better testreports !)
878       and then update outputs of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
879    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
880      add a special version of momentum advection intended to conserve momentum
881      next to a bathymetry step or a coastline edge. (default = off = #undef)
882    o new read/write pickup version:
883      - for now, only implemented for main (mdsio) pickup file.
884      - write out only what is needed to restart; merge pickup_nh , pickup_ph
885        and main pickup together.
886      - read meta file; read only what is needed to restart; stop if a field
887        is missing (if pickupStrictlyMatch=T, = the default) or try to restart
888        if it make sense (even if the restart is not perfect).
889      - if no meta file, assume that pickup to read corresponds exactly to
890        a pickup that would currently be written.
891      - read pickup written in the old format (until checkpoint59i) if it
892        recognizes an old meta file (no field-list).
893      - add a meta file in exp. which starts from a pickup: 2 cases:
894        a) minimal meta file (with just file precision) + pickupStrictlyMatch=F
895         e.g.: global_ocean.90x40x15/input/pickup.0000036000.meta
896        b) a meta file describing the content of the associated pickup file
897         e.g.: tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/input/pickup.0004248000.meta
898    o pkg/mdsio & pkg/rw:
899      - new routine to read a meta file ; new set of routine to read
900        Multiple-fields file (with meta file).
901    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice
902        HSNOW, HSALT, UICE, and VICE
903    
904    checkpoint59i
905    o adjoint:
906      * fix multiDimAdvection adjoint
907        (partial recomputation problem by TAF for fVerT(:,:,kDown)
908        and comlev1 size definition (maxpass vs. max. number of tracers)
909      * verification/global_ocean.90x45x15 adjoint now tests
910        NLFS and multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
911      * verification/lab_sea now tests multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
912    o pkg/kpp: add "_d 0" to real constant (if missing);
913      update output of exp: natl_box (10.digits); vermix (std, 7.digits)
914      and lab_sea, 3.FW (only 6,4,6 digits match) & AD (8.digits).
915    o prepare for "clever pickup" implementation: add new header file "RESTART.h"
916      for internal parameters related to restart process (formerly from PARAMS.h)
917      and add startAB parameter to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
918    o more standard interface to {PKG}_WRITE_PICKUP with pickup suffix passed
919      as argument. (only atm2d & obcs write_pickup have not yet been updated)
920    o pkg/monitor:
921      - use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE instead of _GLOBAL_SUM
922      - fix mon_stats_rs (statistics over the full domain, even where field is zero)
923      - account for deep Atmosphere factor and density factor (anelastic)
924    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice HEFF and AREA
925    o pkg/shelfice: add option for convservative form of Hellmer&Olbers (1989)
926      thermodynamics
927      - requires a little reorganization, which affects the testreport results
928        of isomip.htd (only 7 digits of cg2d agree) => update/modify experiment,
929        so that now the conservative form is tested
930      - add a few comments
931    o add missing cvs Header: or Name: in eesupp/*, pkg/* & verification/code*
932    o add a little bit of code to gad_os7mp_adv_?.F to help vectorization
933    o add new diagnostics to seaice: advective, diffusive fluxes (only for
934      multidim-advection, for scheme 2 they are not filled) and transports,
935      thermodynamic growth rates
936    o change units of EmPmR (inside the code, + within coupling interface)
937      from m/s to kg/m2/s (mass flux) but leave input file unchanged.
938      Affects results @ truncation level (cg2d match) and update output of
939       experiments: lab_sea(6), global_ocean.90x40x15(10),
940      global_ocean.cs32x15(11x3,10), natl_box(11), tutorial_global_oce_latlon(11)
941      + adjoint results: global_ocean_ebm(11) and lab_sea (12).
942      Coupled set-up: allow to restart from previous pickups (cpl_oldPickup=T).
943      Next: will retire convertEmP2rUnit (simply using mass2rUnit instead).
944    
945    checkpoint59h
946    o pkg/exf:
947      - improve vectorization by moving if-statement out of loops in
948        exf_mapfields, exf_radiation
949      - exf_bulkformulae.F: introduce 2D fields and vectorize code
950    o pkg/kpp: added the salt plume scheme (ALLOW_SALT_PLUME) to KPP package
951    o testreport:
952      - allow to test for Qnet & SeaIce monitor output; clean-up ALLOW_BULK_OFFLINE
953        monitor & update offline_exf_seaice exp. output.
954      - AD testing: pass/FAIL according to Grad. output accuracy (instead of Cost)
955    o pkg/seaice:
956      - bug fix in the evp solver: boundary conditions were affected be
957        masking of zMax/zMin (changes results)
958      - minor bug fix in boundary conditions in seaice_calc_strainrates
959        (changes results for no_slip)
960      - seaice_lsr.F: make interpolation of eta dependent on boundaries
961      - replace hardcoded lower limit for zeta (zMin) by runtime parameter
962      - add a test to lab_sea, that tests the Hibler and Bryan (1987) ocean
963        stress formulation and no-slip boundary conditions
964    o pkg/ptracers: Temporary fix for PTRACERS_useGMRedi & PTRACERS_useKPP
965      in gad_calc_rhs.F ; add few safety stops in initialisation phase.
966    o pkg/seaice: a first HSALT time stepping equation has been checked in
967    o pkg/seaice: replaced maskW with seaiceMaskU and maskS with seaiceMaskV
968      in seaice_lsr.F; this solves the pkg/seaice-pkg/obcs problem
969      without requiring DO-IF statements
970    o pkg/thsice:
971      use continuous power-law function for partition of energy between lateral
972      melting/freezing and thinning/thickening ; old code using step function
973      still available with #undef THSICE_FRACEN_POWERLAW
974      update output of exp: aim.5l_cs.thSI, global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn & .thsice
975    o testreport: change AD testing : check against results/output_adm.txt
976      using same scripts as for forward test.
977    
978    checkpoint59g
979    o adjoint testing: in preparation for changing testreport:
980      - output format: cost and grad written on separated lines
981      - ad output results in directory "results" (instead of "results_ad")
982    o pkg/seaice: adding ice salinity HSALT as a prognostic variable
983    o pkg/seaice: changes for using pkg/seaice with pkg/obcs
984    o pkg/ecco: allow user defined cost function contributions
985    o testreport:
986      Allow to choose (per experiment) the list of tested output variables
987       and the main variable (used to issue a pass/FAIL ) ;
988      - for now, done by adding the specific list in file: [exp]/input/tr_checklist
989      - default is unchanged: >cg2d< , (T,S,U,V,5 tracers)_[min,max,mean,StD] ;
990      Also modify printing of summary:
991       a) ">" NN "<" indicates the "main" variable (used for pass/FAIL)
992       b) echo the list of tested variables in the individual summary.txt of
993          each experiment.
994    o new S/R GLOBAL_SUM_TILE to compute global sum independently of number of
995      threads and number of processes (with #define GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV)
996      (but still depend on the tile decompostion of the domain).
997    o pkg/seaice: change a discretization detail to make the B-grid code
998      "more symmetric". This change is likely to remove all "ridges/leads" that
999      where quasi-aligned with the grid in B-grid solutions. It may also be
1000      the solution to the stress coupling issues with the B-grid.
1001    o each tested exp: add a "run" directory with a standard ".cvsignore" file ;
1002      remove .cvsignore from input dir. (since testreport no longer run here).
1003    o pkg/thsice:
1004     - cleaning: move common block out of "THSICE_2DYN.h" (removed) to "THSICE_VARS.h"
1005     - fix reshaping of sea-ice just after advection:
1006       melt all the ice only if ice-volume is too small.
1007     - re-visit lateral/thinning repartition of melting (modifs from May 04, 2007):
1008       prevent lateral melting if sea-ice fraction is too close to iceMaskMin ;
1009     and update experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (+start from pickup files).
1010    o external_forcing_surf : extend the use of salt_EvPrRn & temp_EvPrRn (fresh-water
1011      tracer content) to linFS or no RealFreshWaterFlux ; default remains unchanged.
1012    o define mass2rUnit & rUnit2mass as units conversion factor, used for surface
1013      forcing. mass2rUnit: from mass per unit area [kg/m2] to r-coordinate unit
1014      (z-coord: =1/rhoConst ; p-coord: =gravity) ; rUnit2mass is just the reverse;
1015      and remove horiVertRatio (& recip_horiVertRatio). Affects truncation error
1016      of exp. global_oce_in_p: 10 16 16 14 16 13 16 16 16 13 13 13 16 13 13 12 16
1017      -> update output.txt
1018    o pkg/cd_code: add brackets in multiple terms sum (S/R CD_CODE_SCHEME):
1019     this affects truncation error: -> update output.txt of exp:
1020      global_ocean.90x40x15 (fw&adm), lab_sea (fw&adm) & lab_sea.lsr,
1021      ideal_2D_oce, isomip.htd, natl_box, tutorial_global_oce_latlon.
1022    
1023    checkpoint59f
1024    o pkg/autodiff: zero_adj resets an ajoint variable to zero (in adjoint mode)
1025    o pkg/ctrl: ctrl_bound  forces parameter corrections to stay in
1026      a bounded range (in forward mode)
1027    o pkg/ecco, ctrl, autodiff and mom_common:
1028     internal parameter controls, completements of implementations
1029    o add few EXCH S/R (UV_BGRID, UV_DGRID, SM) for B & D-Grid velocity & 2nd Moment Sxy.
1030    o use UV_BGRID exch for dxV,dyU: for now, only with pkg/exch2 & forward ;
1031      (not seem any difference in testing results).
1032    o pkg/cd_code: use the right EXCH calls (for CS-grid); but problem remains
1033       at face corners.
1034    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1035     - in GAD.h, define as parameters (iMinAdvR,iMaxAdvR,jMinAdvR,jMaxAdvR)
1036      loop range indices for computing vertical advection tendency
1037      and do the calculation in the interior only (no overlap) ;
1038      for now, only implemented for SOM advection (to save CPU time).
1039     - add argument "withSigns" to S/R FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL (needed for SOM_xy moment)
1040    o exch2 adjoint
1041      First set of changes:
1042      - add exch2 hand-written adjoint templates
1043      - exch2 hand-written no longer use TAF-flag 'nownew_arg'
1044        This will require cleanup in pkg/autodiff/*.F
1045        (changed routines currently kept separate in verif. code/)
1046      - Comment all relevant #ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
1047        that used to hide exch2 or cubed-sphere specific code
1048        (commented via 'cph-exch2')
1049    o pkg/seaice
1050      - Close southern and western boundaries for UICE/VICE when useOBCS=.TRUE.
1051    o pkg/bulk_force: fix loading into Qsw of Short-Wave flux; and update
1052       output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice .
1053    
1054    checkpoint59e
1055    o exch2: new S/R that only use the cube-tracer (center-position) exchange:
1056      for B-grid vector (not yet tested) and C-grid vector (<- only used
1057      when option W2_USE_R1_ONLY in W2_OPTIONS.h is defined).
1058    o starting implementation of Duffy et al. (GRL 1999) salt plume scheme
1059      (#ifdef ALLOW_SALT_PLUME)
1060    o gather_2d/scatter_2d: removed halo regions
1061    o gmredi: add option (GM_taper_scheme='fm07') for Ferrari & McWilliams 2007
1062      scheme and the corresponding test case (under front_relax dir). For now,
1063      only available with Skew-flux form and not yet tested in realistic set-up.
1064      adjoint: store directives updated, but gradient checks deteriorated,
1065      so maybe GM/Redi adjoint is now broken.
1066    o seaice adjoint
1067      * add AREA, HEFF, HSNOW as control variable
1068        (should not change lab_sea results)
1069      * CTRL_OPTIONS.h needs new flag: CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_40
1070    o pkg/seaice:
1071      * added computation of saltFlux in seaice_growth;
1072        For time being, sea ice salinity is assumed constant
1073        contribution of snow flooding to freshening of sea ice is neglected.
1074        SEAICE_salinity is set in SEAICE_PARM01 of data.seaice and it
1075        defaults to 0.0 in order to maintain backward compatibility.
1076        Typical values for SEAICE_salinity are 4 to 10 g/kg.
1077      * replaced dRf(1) with dRf(kSurface)*hFacC(kSurface) in seaice_growth.F
1078      * added SEAICE_availHeatFrac, which specifies fraction of surface level
1079        heat content used to melt or grow ice
1080      * commented out cap of HICE: it helps keep ice thinner
1081      * reintroduced cap of HEFF via MAX_HEFF and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF option
1082      * applied OBCS T/S mask to HEFFM sea ice mask
1083    
1084    checkpoint59d
1085    o standard name: {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_STATE to fill diagnostics array
1086     for {PKG} state variables, and called from DO_STATEVARS_DIAGS.
1087     (keep {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_FILL for non-state variables diagnostics)
1088    o pkg/gmredi (gmredi_readparms.F): add some missing "_d 0"
1089     and change default value of parameter "GM_Small_Number";
1090     update output of exp: lab_sea (x2), cfc_example, global_ocean.90x40x15,
1091       global_ocean.cs32x15 (x4), global_ocean_ebm, global_with_exf,  
1092       tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_global_oce_latlon
1093    o pkg/ecco: cost function when applying pkg/smooth to controls
1094    o pkg/ctrl: add forcingPrecond run time parameter
1095    o pkg/seaice:
1096     - replace ZMIN=4.e8 with ZMIN=0. in dynsolver.F as in C-grid code
1097     - fix bug in metric terms of u-equation in LSR solver (implicit part),
1098       changes verification/lab_sea
1099     - rearrange implicit part of u-equation in LSR solver to make it easier to
1100       read, understand, and debug. This causes changes at the truncation level.
1101     - fix (serious) bug in the boundary conditions (sign error in the implicit
1102       part) of the LSR solver. Changes all LSR results.
1103     - fixed problem with HSNOW initialization to avoid thick snow when AREA
1104       is initilized with small values - does not change lab_sea results.
1105     - added HsnowFile initialization capability
1106    o pkg/smooth: addition to model/src and pkg/ctrl so allow
1107     initialization of pkg/smooth and application to control vector
1108    o pkg/seaice: fix another bug in the LSR no-slip boundary conditons
1109    o dependencies: pkg/profiles requires pkg/cal
1110    o pkg/profiles:
1111     - added option ALLOW_PROFILES_GENERICGRID
1112         -> pkg/profiles can thus be used with any grid (e.g. cs32x15) assuming
1113         that interpolation information (grid points and coefficients) is provided
1114         within the netcdf input files.
1115         -> sample matlab scripts can be found in MITgcm_contrib/gael
1116         that allow you to prepare netcdf input files.
1117     - also modified: cleaner include statements, cleaner error print statements,
1118       cleaner stops when error, and more tests of the netcdf input files consistency.
1119    o additional test (in global_ocean.cs32x15) using seaice+thsice pkgs.
1120    o pkg/seaice:
1121     - move seaice-diagnostics from seaice_do_diags to do_statevars_diags; this
1122       requires a new routine: seaice_diagnostics_fill.F
1123     - make sure that seaice does not move if not forced (pressure replacement
1124       method, Hibler and Ip, 1995), changes results
1125     - and new damping criterion for EVP solver according to Hunke, JCP, 2001
1126     - SEAICE_evpDampC = > 0. turns it on (615. is the recommended value).
1127       It is turned off by default (=-1.), because it changes the results.
1128     - make it possible to read AREA from a file, too.
1129    
1130    checkpoint59c
1131    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
1132    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
1133    o pkg/thsice:
1134     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
1135      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
1136    o pkg/obcs:
1137     - bug fix for balance code
1138    o pkg/seaice:
1139      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
1140      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
1141        to SEAICE_elasticParm
1142      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
1143      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
1144      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
1145      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
1146    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
1147      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
1148        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
1149        clipping or linear tappering.
1150      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
1151      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
1152        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
1153      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
1154    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
1155    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
1156      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
1157    o adjoint:
1158      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
1159      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
1160      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
1161      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
1162    
1163    checkpoint59b
1164    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
1165      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
1166    o pkg/seaice:
1167      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
1168        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
1169      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
1170      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
1171      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
1172        better
1173    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
1174      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
1175    o pkg/exf:
1176      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
1177      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
1178      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
1179      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
1180        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
1181    o pkg/seaice:
1182      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
1183      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
1184        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
1185    o pkg/exf:
1186      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
1187      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
1188      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
1189        to the main code ;
1190      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
1191        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
1192        previous code.
1193        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
1194      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
1195    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
1196      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
1197        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
1198      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
1199        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
1200      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
1201      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
1202    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
1203      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
1204      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
1205        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
1206        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
1207     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
1208      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
1209        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
1210      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
1211        by ice & snow emissivity.
1212    o pkg/thsice:
1213     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
1214      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
1215      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
1216      and in thsice_extend.F:
1217      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
1218      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
1219     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
1220      and cpl_aim+ocn
1221    o pkg/kpp
1222     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
1223       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
1224     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
1225     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
1226     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
1227       be the best fix)
1228    o pkg/seaice
1229     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
1230     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
1231    o OpenAD
1232     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
1233    
1234    checkpoint59a
1235    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
1236    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
1237       himin       -> hIceMin
1238       himin0      -> hThinIce
1239       hihig       -> hThickIce
1240       i0          -> i0swFrac
1241       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
1242       frac_energy -> fracMelting
1243      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
1244       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
1245      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
1246    o in FFIELDS.h:
1247      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
1248      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
1249         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
1250    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
1251    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
1252        3D diffusivity arrays are used; pkg/kpp/kpp_calc_diff_s & _t.F
1253        are no longer updating the vertical diffusivity array
1254        (passed as argument) but are (re-) setting those arrays.
1255    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
1256      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
1257        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
1258      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
1259      - the above changes lab_sea results
1260      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
1261        may follow
1262      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
1263      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
1264        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
1265        of choosing it)
1266      - add principal stress diagnostics
1267      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
1268        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
1269        not have.
1270      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
1271        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
1272        in all cases)
1273    o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
1274      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
1275    
1276    checkpoint59
1277    o pkg/exf:
1278      - fix wind-stress location: defined on A-grid (if ALLOW_ATM_WIND &
1279        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE or USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION), otherwise, defined on C-grid
1280      - move exf header files from lower_case.h to UPPER_CASE.h ;
1281        add missing cvs Header & Name
1282      - add adjoint routines and flow dirs for newly used exch_uv_agrid routines
1283      - add namelist param. selectStressGridPosition, exf_monFreq
1284      - retire many _CLIM routines, and remove data.exf_clim
1285        + params moved to data.exf
1286        + climsst, climsss now handled by exf_set_gen, i.e.
1287          climss?period=0 refers to constant field,
1288          climss?period=-12 to monthly forcing
1289      - split up namelists in data.exf
1290    o pkg/seaice:
1291      - remove seaice_exch and seaice_exch_uv
1292      - remove superfluous exchange of theta
1293      - add myThid to seaice_budget_ocean/ice
1294      - add new interface for atmospheric wind forcing (C-grid only)
1295        + new routine
1296        + two new field (taux, tauy for stress over ice)
1297        + removed one global field (DAIRN) for C-grid case only
1298    o pkg/thsise
1299      - 2nd set of modifs for thsice adjoint in conjunction with exf
1300    o enable runtime flag useEXF (useCAL is set to .T. if useEXF=.T.)
1301    
1302    checkpoint58y_post
1303    o Added capability for latitudinal dependence of Bryan and Lewis, 1979
1304      vertical diffusivity, similar to that in MOM4; turned on using
1305      #define ALLOW_BL79_LAT_VARY in CPP_OPTIONS.h and specified using
1306      diffKrBL79*, diffKrBLEQ*, and BL79LatVary in runtime data file.
1307    o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
1308      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
1309      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
1310      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
1311    o ice dynamics (pkg/seaice) with thsice thermodynamics:
1312      - add code within pkg thsice to advect & diffuse sea-ice fields
1313      similar to (and will replace) what has been added in  seaice_advdiff.F,
1314      but: - conserving Mass, Heat & Salt.
1315           - better when using non-linear advection scheme (not yet fully tested)
1316           - can also be used in atmospheric set-up (for now, only the diffusion).
1317    
1318    checkpoint58x_post
1319    o IO option for global-file compact format:
1320      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
1321      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
1322      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
1323      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
1324    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
1325    
1326    checkpoint58w_post
1327    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
1328      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
1329      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
1330      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
1331                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
1332    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
1333      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
1334    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
1335     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
1336     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
1337       mass points to avoid tau = 0
1338     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
1339    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
1340    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
1341      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
1342    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
1343    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
1344    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
1345      to all packages
1346    
1347    checkpoint58v_post
1348    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
1349      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
1350    o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
1351    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
1352      and portions thereof.  See read_cs.txt for description and examples.
1353    o utils/matlab/cs_grid/bk_line: to compute transport through passages,
1354      add a script (grt_circ_bkl.m) to generate broken-line between 2 points,
1355      following the great-circle arc between those 2 points.
1356    o trap un-initialized variable with pathscale compiler on weddell.mit.edu
1357      (thanks to Constantinos): fix few problems and get (almost) all exp to pass.
1358    o 2nd-Order Moment Advection Scheme (Prather, 1986): first check-in
1359     - enable by setting #define GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT (in GAD_OPTIONS.h)
1360     - used without limiter (AdvScheme=80) or with Prather limiter (AdvScheme=81)
1361     - still needs work (not working with some options ; efficiency to improve)
1362       and serious testing.
1363     - use this scheme for temperature & salinity in 2 advection test exp.:
1364       advect_xy & advect_xz, respectively.
1365    
1366    checkpoint58u_post
1367    o new test-exp: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (40 levels) to replace the 10 levels.
1368    o move call to INI_FORCING from PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES to INITIALISE_VARIA.
1369    o testreport: add option "-skipdir" to skip some test.
1370    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND), by-pass turbulent
1371      momentum calculation.
1372    o gad_advection: fix vertAdvecScheme (if different from advectionScheme)
1373    o some cleaning: usePickupBeforeC35 no longer supported ; remove this option.
1374      remove checkpoint.F and the_correction_step.F (no longer used);
1375      do the k loop inside CYCLE_TRACER (supposed to be more efficient).
1376    o add option (linFSConserveTr) to correct for tracer source/sink due to
1377      Linear Free surface
1378    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in the flooding algorithm: turn off the snow machine
1379    o pkg/thsice: fix reading mnc-pickups
1380    
1381    checkpoint58t_post
1382    o pkg/diagnostics: fix multi-threaded output (when singleCpuIO=F)
1383    o pkg/mdsio:
1384     - clean-up mdsio_readfield.F & mdsio_writefield_new.F and
1385       move to new files: mdsio_read_field.F (S/R MDS_READ_FIELD) &
1386       mdsio_write_field.F (S/R MDS_WRITE_FIELD);
1387     - fix multi-threaded singleCpuIO option in MDS_WRITE_FIELD
1388     - collect old S/R  in one file: mdsio_rw_field.F (now just a call to
1389       either MDS_READ_FIELD or MDS_WRITE_FIELD )
1390     - new S/R (to replace MDSWRITEMETA), which allows to write more
1391       informations (variable names, time ...) to meta files.
1392     - modify rdmds.m to give back the meta file content.
1393    o pkg/diagnostics: change vertical interpolation to be safer, and more
1394       flexible (define p-levels to interpolate to in data.diagnostics);
1395      add argument to S/R DIAGNOSTICS_GET_POINTERS to catch the right
1396       diagnostic pointer.
1397    o pkg/seaice: more cleaning up of seaice_growth, added many comments
1398    o pkg/exf: put runoff0 and runoff1 into the appropriate common block
1399    o fix multi-category seaice:
1400     - change cpp flag SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to more meaningful name:
1401       SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
1402     - fix short wave heat flux
1403    o pkg/seaice: change default (SEAICE_OPTIONS.h): use C-grid dynamics
1404       and allow to use EVP solver. Change forward lab_sea: test both EVP
1405       solver and LSR solver, and use C-grid dynamics (like lab_sea adjoint)
1406    o Initial check-in of lab_sea adjoint
1407      (very similar to natl_box_adjoint/code_seaice)
1408      * used C-grid and EVP solver
1409      * used KPP, GM/Redi
1410      * uses inAdExact=.TRUE.
1411      * gradient checks fail for both ADM and TLM
1412        due to sensitive snow melt code in seaice_grwoth (look for "JZ")
1413        f.d. gradients actually seem more problematic than ADM, TLM gradients;
1414        issue is related to forward mismatch between g77 an ifort
1415    o pkg/seaice: overhaul of thermodynamics
1416     - growth.F and groatb.F are replaced by new routine seaice_growth.F
1417     - budget.F is replaced by two new routines seaice_budget_ocean/ice.F
1418     - move a few global fields out of SEAICE.h into seaice_growth.F and
1419       make them 2D (FICE/QNETO/ ...)
1420     - remove FO (it is the same as QNETO)
1421     - introduce a few local fields to avoid modifying external fields such
1422       as atemp, etc.
1423    
1424    checkpoint58s_post
1425    o pkg/exf: moved exf_init_runoff.F to exf_init.F and exf_set_gen.F
1426      changed exf_set_gen.F so that
1427        genperiod=0 means input file is one time-constant field and
1428        genperiod=-12 means input file contains 12 monthly means
1429    o CG2D: use pre-computed solver main-diagonal (stored in common block);
1430      this affects truncation error ; generate new output file for exp. which
1431      fails: exp4(12d), fizhi-cs-aqualev20(12d), front_relax(10d),
1432        global_ocean.90x40x15(10d), global_ocean.cs32x15(10d).thsice(11d).viscA4(10d),
1433        ideal_2D_oce(10d), internal_wave(09d), isomip.htd(11d), matrix_example(07d),
1434        MLAdjust(4x11d,12d), natl_box(11d), rotating_tank(12d),
1435        tutorial_global_oce_in_p(10d), tutorial_plume_on_slope(11d),
1436        vermix(12d).ggl90(12d).my82(11d).opps(12d).pp81(11d)
1437    o start implementation of deep-atmosphere and anelastic formulation
1438    o verification: remove 2nd copy of input files and use script "prepare_run"
1439      to make a symbolic link to the 1rst copy (reduce downloaded size by ~81.M)
1440    o mom_common/vecinv/fluxform: fix a few initialisation isssues
1441    o profiles: fix for multithreaded case
1442    
1443    o diagnostics: rename few diags:
1444      s/'PRESSURE'/'RCENTER '/g
1445      s/'TICE    '/'oceFreez'/g
1446      s/'TAUX    '/'oceTAUX '/g
1447      s/'TAUY    '/'oceTAUY '/g
1448      s/'SWFLUX  '/'oceQsw  '/g
1449      s/DIFx/DFxE/g
1450      s/DIFy/DFyE/g
1451      and add few ocean-forcing diagnostics:
1452      atmPload, sIceLoad, oceQnet, oceFWflx, oceSflux, surForcT & surForcS
1453    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F and budget.F, which change results of
1454      lab_sea experiment: HSNOW was sometimes treated as effective and sometimes
1455      as actual snow thickness.  It now refers everywhere to effective snow
1456      thickness, meaning that for non-zero AREA, actual thickness is HEFF/AREA.
1457    
1458    checkpoint58r_post
1459    o modifications to pkg/seaice/growth.F, which change results of
1460      lab_sea experiment: fixes pertain to melting snow over open water, to
1461      masking EVAP under sea ice, and to using the correct AREA variable for
1462      computations of EVAP, PRECIP, HSNOW, and GHEFF
1463    o add ability to read bathy, salt, and theta using MNC (off by def)
1464  o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;  o add flooding algorithm and advection of HSNOW for pkg/seaice;
1465    both are turned off by default and do no change any results    both are turned off by default and do no change any results
