4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o eesupp & mdsio (SingleCpuIO):
8      - move mapping to global io-buffer inside gather_2d/scater_2d: this save
9        memory (1 less 2D global RL array); skip 1 buffer copy; and only send/
10        receive real*4 array (instead of real*8) to read/write 32.bit files.
11        (new template for gather_2d/scater_2d, new set of S/R MDS_PASS_R4,8toRL,S
12         and remove new mapping S/R)
13    o pkg/mdsio: in preparation for topology-generator within pkg/exch2:
14      - Change declaration of SingleCpuIO buffer, reduced to only 1 dim.:
15        xyBuffer_size, which is set to W2_ioBufferSize from W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h
16        when using exch2. Add S/R to map global io-buffer to global model array.
17      - uses exch2_global_Nx,y instead of exch2_domain_nxt,nyt.
18    
19    checkpoint61m
20    o write_utils : change WRITE_1D_R8 to WRITE_1D_RL
21      and add 3 other S/R for other types (R4,R8,RS).
22      Change calls to WRITE_0D/1D_R[4,8,S,L] to match the type of argument.
23    o eesupp/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h (EXCH & GLOBAL_SUM/MAX macros):
24     - ensure suffix (_R4,_R8,_RS,_RL) correspondance between macro and S/R ;
25     - reduce number of macro definitions (keep only those which are used);
26       can always call directly the corrresponding S/R if needed.
27     - everywhere in the code: change macros (EXCH & GLOBAL_SUM/MAX) suffix
28       _R4/_R8 to _RS/_RL when applied to _RS/_RL variable.
29     Fixed wrong type of arg in:
30       atm2d/put_ocnvars.F cheapaml/cheapaml.F ocn_compon_interf/ocn_apply_import.F
31       ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F seaice/seaice_do_diags.F seaice/seaice_model.F
32     To fix: global_sum of var in common block is wrong (multi-threaded) in:
33       dic/dic_atmos.F ebm/ebm_area_t.F ebm/ebm_zonalmean.F sbo/sbo_calc.F
34     To fix: aim_v23/aim_do_co2.F (BARRIER & GLOBAL_SUM within bi,bj loops)
35    o adjustment.cs-32x32x1: test "blank tiles" when compiling with mpi; 2nd
36      "nlfs" mpi test is going to stop when checking for unconnected tile egdes.
37    o eesupp/src: new S/R to stop everyone when 1 (or more) Proc. find an error
38    o pkg/exch2: new S/R EXCH2_CHECK_DEPTHS to check that unconnected tile
39      edges are closed (zero depth); might happen with "blank tiles";
40      for now, disabled if using OBCS.
41    o tools/gemake2: delete modifs from March 27-29 2009 (with option "-mpi":
42      link *_mpi files from "MODS" dir) to return to a strait-forward behavior.
43    o move read_write.F to write_utils.F ; new parameter (maxLengthPrt1D)
44      to reduce length of 1.D array print in STDOUT.
45    o adjustment.cs-32x32x1: changed to oceanic test with 1 continent
46      + use 48 tiles (16x8): this will allow to test "blank tiles".
47    o start to test MPI + multi-threaded (change testreport to skip tests
48      where number of tiles do not match).
49    o genmake2: add option "-omp" to turn on Open-MP ;
50      passed to testreport (if using -mth) ; merge few (*+mth) optfiles.
51    o pkg/exch2 (+ utils/exch2): ignore blank tiles (instead of removing them)
52      and keep the original tile numbering. Note: compatible with old
53      W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h & w2_e2setup.F topology files.
54    
55    checkpoint61l
56    o Overlaps had been forgotten in calculating ijk keys : fixed
57    o fix cyrus makedepend for gcc 4.4
58    o experiment fizhi-cs-aqualev20:
59      switching to new version of S/R GETPWHERE (#define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE)
60      and generate new output. Note: new output is much closer to the old
61      one (v1.8) generated with pgf77 -O2 on Mar 14 2007 than it is from
62      the previous one (v1.9) generated with pgf77 -O0 on Jun 13 2007.
63    o pkg/fizhi:
64     - change to avoid indices going deliberately over array-bounds
65     - remove unnecessary MPI stuff
66     - perpetual spring equinox with "#define FIZHI_USE_FIXED_DAY"
67     - new version of S/R GETPWHERE available with #define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE:
68       does not go over array-bounds and therefore returns reliable output.
69     - in fizhi_driver.F & fizhi_turb.F, fix "get_alarm" calls:
70       this S/R has 4 output arguments, which are used inside "get_alarm";
71       when it is called with the same variable "ndum" in place of several
72       output arguments, this produces weird side effect inside "get_alarm"
73      (e.g., datein=dates(n) is overwritten by timein=times(n) since both
74       datein & timein, resp. 2nd and 3rd arg., are pointed to the same "ndum"
75       address) and produces error.
76    o tools/gemake2: (March 27-29 2009)
77      with option "-mpi": link *_mpi files from "MODS" dir (this is what
78      testreport does).
79    o lab_sea experiment: change from 2x1 tiles to 2x2 tiles and regenerate output
80    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in new version of S/R SEAICE_LSR.F:
81       update lab_sea.lsr & lab_sea.salt_plume results
82    o pkg/seaice:
83      Major overhaul of the LSOR solver: change discretization from original
84      finite differences to finite volume. The old routine is still in the
85      file seaice_lsr.F and can be turned on with the CPP-flag
86      SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION
87      Along with this change, the discretization of the strain rates is changed.
88      The same flag turns on the old discretization in seaice_calc_strainrates.F
89      All verification experiments with seaice are affected (except for
90      seaice_exf_offline); global_ocean.cs32x15/input.icedyn recovers the old
91      results by setting the above flag.
92      Further changes involve changes in defaults:
93      - ALLOW_FLOODING is defined and turned on by default
94      - SEAICEadvSnow = .true. is now the default
95      - SEAICEadvSalt = .true. is now the default
96      - SEAICEadvAge  = .true. is now the default
97      - SEAICE_clipVelocities  = .false. is now the default
98                                         (as per J. Zhang's recommendation)
99      - B-grid, and thus not tested: SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1/EXPLICIT_SSH_SLOPE
100        is defined, SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 is renamed into SEAICE_BICE_STRESS
101      - seaice_growth: replace computation of UG by a simple copy from wspeed
102    
103    checkpoint61k
104    o pkg/seaice: a few bug fixes mostly concerning the metric terms:
105      seaice_lsr: fixed a few metric terms,
106                  affects lab_sea.lsr, lab_sea.salt_plume, seaice_obcs
107                  add more debugging diagnostics
108      seaice_evp: removed superfluous many metric terms of FV discretization
109                  of stress divergence
110                  affects lab_sea, lab_sea.hb87
111      seaice_ocean_stress: removed superfluous many metric terms of FV discretization
112                  of stress divergence for non-evp solver
113                  (this part is not tested anywhere)
114      seaice_calc_strainrates: fixed a bug in no-slip boundary conditions,
115                  they were effectively only half slip
116                  affects lab_sea.hb87
117      updated all relevant verification experiments (except lab_sea//output_adm.txt
118        which was left over, but fails at level 7 & 6)
119    
120    checkpoint61j
121    o pkg/seaice: turn a few hard wired parameters into run time parameters
122    o pkg/seaice/exf/monitor: turn netcdf coordinate variable T into model
123      time in seconds as promised by the usints in seaice_monitor and exf_monitor
124    o pkg/mnc: fix the coordinate variables for multi-tile curvi-linear grids
125      that are not cubed-sphere grids
126    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug for the rare case of SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR
127    o pkg/ctrl:
128      fix bug in ctrl_depth_ini.F (EXCH_XYZ was applied to 2-D field xx_r_low)
129    o non-hydrostatic (calc_gw.F):
130      fix viscA4 on CS-grid + fix diagnostics: Wm_Diss & Wm_Advec
131      update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
132    o remove backward compatibility for thetaMin,phiMin
133      (replaced by xgOrigin,ygOrigin on Jan 27, 2009)
134    o pkg/exf: fix a serious bug in exf_set_uv.F: do a rotation of the
135      interpolated wind field not only for curvilineargrid=.true., but also
136      for a rotated grid (rotateGrid=.true.)
137    o pkg/exf: add capability to bypass interpolation for runoff
138      by setting yet another CPP-flag
139    o eesupp/src, B-grid exchange:
140      add simple (6 tiles, non MPI) CS exch + standard interface S/R.
141    o autodiff
142      new CPP option ALLOW_TAMC_SINGLEPREC_COMLEV
143      allows to switch to single-prec common blocks;
144      corresponding switch occurs in tamc.h, integer isbyte
145      TAF store directivs "byte" and "kind" seem equivalent;
146      Most tamc.h have been updated correspondingly.
147    
148    checkpoint61i
149    o autodiff:
150      fix autodiff_sore/_restore indices for obcs
151      (spotted by I. Hoteit, M. Mazloff)
152    o pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl:
153      Add flag to reduce all tapelev I/O to single-prec.
154      In data.ctrl set
155        doSinglePrecTapelev = .TRUE.
156    o model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F, new grid-file format without EXCH2:
157      check in hack for SX8 compiler (for dxV, dyU); remove it afterwards.
158    o pkg/shelfice: fix bug with SHELFICEconserve flag, prepare for
159      real fresh water flux (not yet)
160    o pkg/mdsio & rw:
161     - add argument & option to S/R MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC (avoid Open/Close & write-meta)
162     - add simple interface S/R to MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC in pkg/rw: WRITE_GLVEC_RX.
163    o pkg/flt:
164     - replace FLT_INIT by 3-steps standard initialization S/R: readparms,
165       init_fixed & ini_varia.
166     - clean-up & simplify linear interpolation S/R:
167       move flt_bilinear.F -> flt_interp_linear.F ; add arg. myThid.
168     - fix some indices (mainly vertical index) ; add IMPLICIT NONE.
169     - more efficient I/O, using new options of MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC S/R.
170     - add vert. coordinate & horiz. indices to output files.
171     - change vertical position in initial condition, from index to depth [m].
172     - store horizontal (decimal) indices i,j in common block (instead of coord. x,y)
173       (easier to get to a curvilinear grid) ; delX,delY no longer used.
174    o pkg/ggl90: a few modifications:
175     - fix bottom boundary condition, and interpolation of KappaE
176       near top and bottom
177     - use same set of viscosity/diffusivity for TKE/momnetum/tracer
178     - add smoothing option as in Blanke and Delecluse (1993) (--> ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH)
179     - add a few options for mixing-length upper limit (--> mxlMaxFlag)  
180    o rename thetaMin,phiMin -> xgOrigin,ygOrigin
181      (maintain temporary backward compatibility, until next checkpoint)
182    
183    checkpoint61h
184    o pkg/diagnostics with "periodic averaging diagnostics":
185      fix S/R DIAGNOSTICS_COUNT ; hack diagnostics_out.F to get NetCDF output.
186    o pkg/my82: add missing "_d 0" ; update output of exp. vermix.my82
187    o pkg/obcs: fix loop ranges for balancing code
188    o pkg/flt:
189     - improve criteria for finding which tile owns a float.
190     - fix FLT_EXCH for case without MPI ; apply cyclic BC + fix also the MPI case.
191    o Add well-mixed CO2 box in aim_v23 (which includes changes in pkg
192      aim_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf, gchem, and dic to get coupling
193      with ocean biogeo)
194    o pkg/flt:
195     - do some cleaning and fix the restart ;
196     - add output.txt in flt_example/results to get this pkg tested.
197    o genmake2: add an EXTENDED_SRC option and flag.
198       for now, cannot be turned on on command line (only through genmake_local)
199    o pkg/mdsio: read/write vector:
200     - singleCpuIO: fix RL/RS in MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_BUFFERtoRL/RS
201     - singleCpuIO=F: fix arrType & filePrec & _BYTESWAPIO in both MDSREADVECTOR
202       & MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_RD/WR_VEC_RL/RS.
203     - affects gradient of test-exp "bottom_ctrl_5x5" (not due to _BYTESWAPIO)
204      (drop to 4 digits matching for grad). But this test does not look very
205      reliable (was already failling on eddy, fc5, at 6.digits). Update output.
206    
207    checkpoint61g
208    o pkg/flt:
209      - move FLT_CPPOPTIONS.h to FLT_OPTIONS.h (standard name)
210       + make OPTIONS file more standard.
211      - rename S/R MDSREADVECTOR_FLT to FLT_MDSREADVECTOR (to mach src file name)
212      - fix _BYTESWAPIO CPP-Flag
213      - standard reading of file-parameter "data.flt"
214      - fix argument list of S/R FLT_RESTART
215      still need to fix _BYTESWAPIO in pkg/mdsio/mdsio_writevector.F
216    o pkg/obcs: fix a CPP-flag, bug reported by Jeff Blundell
217    o gather_2d.F/scatter_2d.F: suppress vectorisation on NEC SX in respond to
218      a still unfixed compiler/optimization bug
219    
220    checkpoint61f
221    o pkg/seaice, LSR solver: fix bug in GLOBAL_MAX calls ;
222      update results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn test.
223    o move getcon.F from model/src to pkg/fizhi.
224    o pkg/exf: add parameter for extrapolation of temp up to the surface
225       and option to prevent negative evap (in bulk_largeyeager04 only).
226    o Prather Advection scheme: fix tracer conservation for divergent flow
227      (e.g., when using NonLin Free-Surface).
228    o kpp: retire KPPmld diagnostics --> use MXLDEPTH instead
229    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
230     - add more parameters to Visbeck-variable-K.
231     - use a 5 points average for dSigmaR in Visbeck-K calculation
232       (more "homogenous": same stencil and same weights as in dSigmaH)
233     - update output of ideal_2D_oce experiment.
234    o fix CPP-flag REAL4_IS_SLOW, when _RS expands into real*4
235      (#undef REAL4_IS_SLOW)
236     - pkg/mnc/mnc_cw_cvars.F: write _RS-grid variable as netcdf-real*4
237       coordinate variable
238     - pkg/monitor/monitor.F: call mon_printstats_rs for _RS variables
239       (surface forcing fields), removes some of the functionality
240     - model/src/write_grid.F: write _RS variables as RS-netcdf variables
241     - model/src/diags_oceanic_surf_flux.F: fix a few diagnostics, but
242       probably not all: copy _RS surface flux fields to RL field before
243       calling DIAGNOSTICS_FILL
244     - model/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h: make the _EXCH_*_RS macros expand into
245       real*4 (CALL EXCH_*_RS) versions.
246     - tested in 2 experiments: inverted_barometer & solid-body.cs-32x32x1
247       (generate new output).
248    
249    checkpoint61e
250    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
251      - fix the "OLD_VISBECK_CALC" option + move the #undef to GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
252      - change computation of Visbeck-K where Slope > Smax :        
253        now: N*min(Slope,Smax) (similar to OLD_VISBECK_CALC with gkw91 taperFct)
254        previously was: M*sqrt(min(Slope,Smax)) ; update ideal_2D_oce output.
255    o bottom-drag in P-coord.: change units of bottomDragLinear & bottomDragQuadratic
256      to be the same as with Z-coord. (i.e., m/s & no-units respectively).
257    o calc_viscosity: fix index range (was wrong for CD-Scheme & explicit Visc)
258    o pkg gmredi, linear & fm07 tapering: put an upper limit on Slope^2 so that Kwz
259      does not become too large (to avoid precision problems in implicit-diffusion
260      solver); update ideal_2D_oce output.
261    o pkg ggl90:
262      - in ggl90_cal.F: compute only one set of visc/diff, used to
263        step forward TKE/T/S/momentum
264      - default value of GGL90viscMax/GGL90diffMax larger and equal (to
265        have Prandlt =1)
266    o gmredi (fm07):
267      - add lower limit on Transition layer thickness + lower limit on 1/lambda
268      - allow to set few more params from data.gmredi
269    o pkg ggl90:
270          - add missing sqrt(2) factor in computation of mixing length
271            scale in ggl90_calc.F
272            (see Eq. (2.35) in Blanke and Delecluse, JPO, 1993)
273    
274    checkpoint61d
275    o adjoint modifs
276      - adapt to new field rhoInSitu
277      - allow to revert from StoreDynVars2D, StoreDynVars3D
278        to individual fields
279        (switches AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_2D, AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_3D)
280    o store 3-D (in-situ) density in commom block (DYNVARS.h)
281     - save 1 rho computation.
282     - no longer modify T & S inland when using down_slope pkg.
283    o gad_som : allow to switch to SOM advection for T & S without corresponding
284      pickup files (using new S/R: MDS_CHECK4FILE).
285    o keep removing _BEGIN/_END_MASTER between MDSIO S/R call
286      (for useSingleCpuIO to work in multi-threaded)
287    o pkg/shelfice:
288     - disentangle parameters: retire shelfIceFile in data/PARM05 and substitute
289       with SHELFICEtopoFile in data.shelfice
290     - move code for reading ice shelf topography and modifying hFacC into separate
291       subroutines of the shelfice package
292     - separate initialisation of "fixed" and "variable" variables
293     - kTopC is not (yet) replaced by kSurfC, although this is possible
294    o fix broken diagnostic SIatmFW and changed the units from m/s to kg/m^2/s
295    o add initialisation of deepFac if using Pcoords (new S/R set_grid_factors)
296      and rename:
297      ini_phiref.F          --> set_ref_state.F  (+ set anelastic factors)
298      ini_reference_state.F --> load_ref_files.F (- set anelastic factors)
299    o change FIND_RHO_SCALAR : return rho (instead of rho - rhoConst)
300    
301    checkpoint61c
302    o add option ALLOW_ADDFLUID and run-time selector "selectAddFluid"
303      to add mass source/sink of fluid in the interior (3-D generalisation
304      of oceanic real-fresh water flux).
305    o pkg/monitor: fix recip_dr argument in mon_advcflw2 call (-> advcfl_W_hf_max)
306    o vermix test experiment: switch from LINEAR EOS to MDJWF (not tested before)
307    o new pkg: down_slope
308      density-driven downsloping flow parameterisation (Tellus, 1999, 412-430).
309      - presently, modify T & S inland (dwnslp_calc_rho.F).
310        can be avoided if rho was stored in common bloc and used in calc_phi_hyd.
311      - implementation for ocean in P-coords not tested.
312      - add secondary test to global_ocean.90x40x15 (input.dwnslp) to check this pkg.
313    o move kSurfC,kSurfW & kSurfS from SURFACE.h to GRID.h (next to kLowC)
314      (to facilitate conversion of oceanic pkg to p-coordinate).
315    o change FIND_RHO to FIND_RHO_2D :
316      pass arguments tFld & sFld as local (tile) 2D-arrays ; +fix EOS_CHECK.
317    o new pkg: cheapaml
318    
319    checkpoint61b
320    o exch2:
321      change index bounds in rx2_cube exchanges (new S/R: EXCH2_GET_UV_BOUNDS)
322      - no longer depend on the order sequence (N,S,E,W).
323      - 3rd exchange no longer needed (tested with 24 tiles).
324      - same modif to hand-written adjoint S/R (global_ocean.cs32x15: zero diff)
325      - exch_UV_A-grid readily available (but not yet tested).
326      comment out 3rd exch call and remove copy of V to U at SE & NE face-corners
327      (both are no longer needed) in exch_uv: no effect in forward run; but
328       get truncation error differences with adjoint exch.
329    o exch2:
330     - change index-bounds storage (moved from target to local tile,
331       more intuitive this way) ; rename/remove some variables.
332     - change utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator & code_mods accordingly.
333    
334    checkpoint61a
335    o exch2/matlab-topology-generator:
336      fix bug in index bounds for N-S internal exchange (hard to tell if this
337      had any effect on the solution).
338    o pkg/mnc: small fix in mnc_handle_err: make sure that length of msgbuf
339      is exceeded
340    o testreport: modify syntax of awk, so that it works also with
341      awk, and not only with nawk and gawk
342    
343    checkpoint61
344    o autodiff
345      Change default for TAF usage by removing argument '-nonew_arg'
346      This changes TAF subroutine argument list (ordering of active var.)
347      Omission of this flag leads to incompatibility w.r.t. TAMC
348      To restore TAMC-compatibility, need following modifs:
349      * use adoptfile tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_tamc_compatibility
350      * use CPP option #define AUTODIFF_TAMC_COMPATIBILITY
351      Tested TAF version is 1.9.22
352      N.B.: exch2 hand-written adjoint code currently not TAMC compatible
353    
354    checkpoint60
355    --->>> This is the last checkpoint for which generating the adjoint
356    --->>> is done via the TAMC-compatibility TAF-flag "-nonewarg"
357    --->>> by default.
358    --->>> Future checkpoints will ommit this flag by default.
359    o pkg/generic_advdiff, os7mp: simplify and avoid division by zero.
360    o pkg/grdchk: Add gradient check to etan0 perturbations.
361    o pkg/exf: read ice area from file (#ifdef ALLOW_ICE_AREAMASK).
362    o pkg/autodiff: more flexibility in zeroadj.
363      model/src: modifying do_oceanic_phys.F accordingly.
364    o pkg/ctrl: Bounds for (kapgm,kapredi,eddypsi) parameter estimation.
365    o model/src and pkg/gmredi: GMREDI_WITH_STABLE_ADJOINT CPP option
366      special setup of gmredi for which the adjoint is stable
367      enough for parameter optimization.
368    o bridging the gap between eddy stress and GM.
369      -> eddyTau is replaced with eddyPsi (eddyTau = f x rho0 x eddyPsi)
370          along with a change in CPP option (now ALLOW_EDDYPSI).
371      -> when using GM w/ GM_AdvForm:
372          The total eddy streamfunction (Psi = eddyPsi + K x Slope)
373          is applied either in the tracer Eq. or in momentum Eq.
374          depending on data.gmredi (intro. GM_InMomAsStress).
375      -> ALLOW_EDDYPSI_CONTROL for estimation purpose.
376      The key modifications are in model/src/taueddy_external_forcing.F
377      pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_*F pkg/gmredi/gmredi_*transport.F
378    
379    checkpoint59r
380    o new S/R (pkg/mdsio/mdsio_facef_read.F) reading of sNx+1 x sNy+1 array
381      from per-face file (take S/R READSYMTILE_RS out of ini_curvilinear_grid.F);
382      fix option to read coriolis(@ cell-corner) from files with CS-grid.
383    o pkg/mnc: add some attributes to standard 1D-coordinate variables
384    o pkg/diagnostics: enforce missing_value attribute for scalar variables at
385      mass points, when using mnc for output
386      - add runtime parameter (missing_value, missing_value_int) to override
387        default (which is the value of getcon('UNDEF'))
388    o pkg/mnc: prepare mnc for the actual use of missing values with the
389      diagnostics package: small fix in mnc_cw_readwrite.template and more
390      initialisation of never used fields
391      - replace mnc_common.h and mnc_id_header.h with corresponding upper case
392      versions
393    o pkg/thsice/thsice_ini_vars.F added default initial values so that
394      thermodynamics sea ice solver does not blow up when some initial fields
395      are missing.
396    o move from external_forcing_surf.F to ini_forcing.F
397      the p-coord. hack consisting in using pLoad to set phi0surf ;
398      update output of tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
399    o Freshen up a bit hs94.1x64x5, notably:
400      remove rotationPeriod and tRef=5*0. (adjoint only), and add
401      exactConserv=.TRUE.
402    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
403      change option GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT to GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV which only
404      applies to files where Temperature & Salinity 2nd Order moments are used.
405    o pkg/ptracers: add second-order moment advection schemes (80 and 81);
406      this uses a dynamically allocated internal state data structure
407      (#define PTRACERS_ALLOW_DYN_STATE in PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h)
408      and requires a fortran 90 compiler
409    
410    checkpoint59q
411    o pkg/mom_vecinv: Add energy & enstrophy conserving scheme (selectVortScheme=3)
412       (from Sadourny, described by Burridge & Haseler, ECMWF Rep.4, 1977)
413    o Refresh tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, notably:
414      - change bathymetry (put back seamounts in ACC, use hFacs)
415      - change EOS (POLY3 --> JMD95Z)
416      - use Bryan-Lewis vertical diffusivity
417      - use multidimensional advection
418      - remove old virtual virtual in dic pkg, now done through ptracer pkg
419      - change a couple of parameters in dic pkg
420    o pkg/ctrl: change formula in adctrl_bound.F and add a parameter to ctrl_map_ini_gen.F
421    o pkg/obcs: change default to OBCSfixTopo = .true.,
422      - set OBCSfixTopo=.false. in exp4/input/data.obcs to reproduce old result
423      - replace "debugMode" with "debugLevel .GE. debLevB"
424    o implementation of TAF directives for gchem,cfc,dic
425    o remove "exp5" (replaced by tutorial_deep_convection).
426    o pkg/obcs: add code to fix topography gradients normal to open boundaries;
427      this requires computing the index fields OB_Jn/Js/Ie/Iw in obcs_readparms;
428      the code can be turned on by setting OBCSfixTopo = .true. in data.obcs
429      --> changes results in exp4, seaice_obcs
430    o tutorial_deep_convection :
431      update the set-up and increase resolution and domain size ; start
432      from pseudo initial conditions = output at t=120mn in order to see
433      something happening when running testreport.
434    o pkg/seaice: add os7mp as an advection scheme
435                  add check for advection schemes
436                  add a flag for restoring T and S underneath sea ice
437    o pkg/my82: add netcdf-support and diagnostics
438    o thsice pkg:
439      - Now hsMax limits snow height by turning it into ice following
440        flooding scheme (and now conserving energy)
441      - Slight rewriting of the formula in thsice_calc_thick.F
442      - Parameter rhowi eliminated to be replaced by floodFac = (rhosw-rhoi)/rhos
443      --> changes results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn and global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
444    
445    checkpoint59p
446    o gchem / dic / cfc :
447      - add useDIC, useCFC , read from "data.gchem" (& hold in GCHEM.h);
448      - add new parameter files: "data.dic" & "data.cfc" ;
449      - various re-arrangement in initialisation & header file ;
450      - fix tutorial_global_oce_biogeo for multi-threaded test.
451    o pkg/dic: test for "pickup_dic" file when restarting ;
452      if no pickup-file, can restart with a re-initialised pH (same as it did
453      before) providing pickupStrictlyMatch is set to False.
454    o change argument list of S/R PTRACERS_WRITE_PICKUP & MYPACKAGE_WRITE_PICKUP
455      + fix call to S/R GGL90_WRITE_PICKUP & DIC_WRITE_PICKUP
456    o add a "warning" (to Error msg file) when an Active Tracer is not using AB-2
457      and staggerTimeStep is off (needed for stability of Internal-wave dynamics).
458    o move out of PARAMS.h & data the last pieces of old-ptracer code: tauTr1ClimRelax,
459     & lambdaTr1ClimRelax ; put those 2 params in PTRACERS_PARAMS.h & data.ptracers
460       (note: not clear to me what lambdaTr1ClimRelax is still used for ...)
461    o pkg/mom_vecinv: - new parameter "selectVortScheme" to select which
462       scheme to use for vorticty-term ;
463     - compute upwindVorticity=T case within mom_vi_u/v_coriolis_c4.F
464       (with default selectVortScheme, return to original discretisation)
465     - remove weird combination (e.g.: upwindVorticity & highOrderVorticity)
466    o pkg/seaice: add a line to the summary to indicate grid type (B/C)
467    o in mom_calc_visc, fix average value of viscAh_W & viscA4_W next to the
468      bottom ; only used with variable horizontal viscosity and non-hydrostatic.
469      also fix diagnostics VISCAHW & VISCA4W.
470    
471    checkpoint59o
472    o dome/code/obcs_calc.F: avoid division by zero (detected using gfortran).
473    o change the loop ordering in most gad_*_adv_x.F to improve vectorization:
474      move a few statemens out the main loop into separate loops
475    o pkg/shelfice:
476      - sort out freshwater flux; convert freshwater fluxes to mass fluxes
477        (kg/m^2/s), does not break tests, because in verification/isomip,
478        rhoConstFresh=rhoConst (by accident)
479      - rearrange computation of tLoc, sLoc, pLoc to make code more efficient
480      - move S/R find_rho_scalar, pkg/ecco/sw_ptmp.F, pkg/ecco/sw_adtg.F into
481        new file model/src/seawater.F, so that they are available for all pkgs.
482      - convert potential temperature into in-situ temperature. This changes the
483        isomip tests => update tests
484    o add a flag writePickupAtEnd (default=true) to be able to suppress
485      writing a pickup at the last timestep
486    o tools/mpack-1.6 :
487      - disable automake (not working) and autoconf (not needed).
488      - update to version 1.6.4 which fix MD5 code on some 64 bits platforms
489        also cleaner with much less compilation warnings.
490    o pkg/profiles:
491      rename profiles_interp_mean_genericgrid as profiles_interp_mean_gg
492      (for "less than 32 characters name" compiler requirement)
493    o pkg/obcs and pkg/exf: added capability to specify seaice open boundary
494      conditions that have a different sampling frequency than S/T/U/V obcs
495    o pkg/diagnostics (stats-diags):
496      - fix global Min/Max in case 1 processor get only empty tiles
497    o genmake2: replace (4 times)
498         make genmake_tc_1.o >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
499      with
500         COMM="$CC $CFLAGS -c genmake_tc_1.c"
501         echo $COMM >> genmake_warnings
502         $COMM >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
503      to make genmake2 always see the value of CC as specified in the optfile.
504    o generic_advdiff: - prather advection scheme (SOM) coded for CS-grid.
505      - add diagnostics for 1srt & 2nd Order moments and sub-grid variance.
506      - modify verification advect_cs test to test SOM-advection on CS-grid.
507    o pkg/ctrl:
508      - Rewrite of ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F,
509        introducing a generic routine (ctrl_map_ini_gen.F).
510      - Modification of ctrl_bound/adctrl_bound handling control vector bounds.
511    
512    checkpoint59n
513    o pkg/diagnostics: for large number of diagnostics, store diagnostic mate
514      number in dedicate array "hdiag":
515      - new version of S/R DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST : DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST
516        with 1 more argument (mate number); modify old version DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST.
517      - many small changes (integer format) for large number of diagnostics
518      - start to use DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST (necessary for diagnostics with
519        a counter mate) in pkg diagnostics, ptracers, thsice & aim_v23.
520    o add parameter rotateGrid and Euler angles EulerPhi/Theta/Psi. For
521      usingSphericalGrid, this allows to define the rotated grid coordinates
522      via phiMin/thetaMin/dxSpacing/dySpacing, etc., but then re-compute the
523      geographical coordinates according to the inverse of the rotation defined
524      by the Euler angles, so that Coriolis parameter and online-interpolation by
525      exf works with the geographical coordinates on XC/YC/XG/YG.
526      Naturally, this feature does not work with all packages, so some
527      combinations are prohibited in config_summary (flt, flt_zonal, ecco,
528      profiles), because there the coordinates are assumed to be regular
529      spherical grid coordinates.
530    o pkg/gmredi,ctrl,ecco,autodiff,grdchk and model/src,inc:
531      - introduce isopycnal diffusion coefficient control.
532    o tools/adjoint_options:
533      - additional control vector components.
534    o pkg/mnc: have mnc create marginally meaning full coordinate variables
535      (that is the grid indices) if usingCurvilinearGrid and NOT EXCH2
536    o pkg/mypackage:
537      - add example of read/write pickup for state-var ;
538      - add entry points to the main code for state-vars diags & write-pickup.
539    o pkg/exf: rewrite of exf_getffieldrec.F to properly deal with year
540      transitions for useExfYearlyFields
541      - add new subroutine that determines the file to read from for
542        use*YearlyFields = .TRUE. and .FALSE.
543      - add a verification experiment to global_with_exf that tests
544        useExfYearlyFields with USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION defined
545    o pkg/obcs/exf: add useOBCSYearlyFields (=.FALSE.) to obcs with exf in
546      analogy to useExfYearlyFields; rearrange obcs_prescribe_read: two new
547      subroutines (which could be generated from a template, because they are
548      almost identical), for now they are included in obcs_prescribe_read.F for
549      simplicity
550    o pkg/exf:
551      - add a little more diagnostic to exf_interp_read (in analogy to
552        mds_read_field, can be turned off with debugLevel < debugLevA=1)
553      - improve vectorizability of exf_interp for TARGET_NEC_SX, makes code
554        ugly but fast by unrolling short inner loops, inserting a unroll=8
555        directive in routine lagran, and splitting a loop and making do while the
556        outermost loop (the latter requires the intoduction of index arrays)
557    o pkg/obcs: replace obcs_apply_area/heff/hsalt/hsnow with obcs_apply_seaice
558    o pkg/seaice: moved DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE from seaice_model to seaice_dynsolver
559      http://forge.csail.mit.edu/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2008-January/003173.html
560    o verification/seaice_obcs: updated for restart test and latest options
561    o pkg/seaice: add a new flag SEAICEuseTEM to use a slightly different
562      ice rheology (so-called truncated ellipse, that gets rid of tensile stress);
563      for now this is only available for the C-grid code and also within
564      #ifdef SEAICE_ALLOW_TEM, because this option may slow down the EVP code
565    
566    checkpoint59m
567    o pkg/seaice: use different time constant for melting (SEAICE_gamma_t)
568      and freezing (SEAICE_gamma_t_frz) ice due to mixed layer temperature
569    o gad_som : fix flux output (& diagnostics) to have same units as other  
570      advection scheme fluxes (was previously multiplied by deltaT).  
571    o added verification/seaice_obcs both to test seaice open boundaries
572      and to provide an example matlab scrpt for generating them
573    o added verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume for testing pkg/salt_plume
574    o pkg/salt_plume: clean up salt_plume_frac.F to
575      remove redundancy in PlumeMethod 1 and 4
576    o pkg/kpp: added saltplume diagnostics
577    o pkg/obcs and pkg/seaice:
578      - do not set uice and vice to zero when OB*icefile are unspecified
579      - OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE is undefined by default
580      - moved seaice tracer obcs after call to seaice_growth
581    o pkg/salt_plume: added various options for salt plume depth
582      criterion and for vertical distribution of the salt
583    
584    checkpoint59l
585    o pkg/ptracers: new version of ptracers pickup:
586      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
587      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
588    o pkg/seaice:
589      - add timescale for melting due to warm mixed layer as a means of
590        setting SEAICE_availHeatFrac more conveniently
591      - add a CPP-flag/runtime parameter check for flooding algorithm
592      - reformulated availHeat in seaice_growth.F to be independent of AREA
593    o change units attribute of EmPmR netcdf variables to kg/m^2/s to reflect recent
594      unit changes
595    o pkg/obcs: added OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE constraint
596    o cg2d.F: add 3 compiler directives that speed up this routine by 30% on a NEC
597      SX vector computer.
598    o pkg/seaice:
599      - removed SEAICE_FFIELDS.h and seaice_get_forcing.F
600        seaice forcing fields can now be read only through pkg/exf
601      - removed some unused halos
602    o no longer write pickup from THE_MODEL_MAIN but always from FORWARD_STEP
603    o pkg/exf: added useRelativeWind EXF_PARAM.h option for subtracting U/VVEL
604      or U/VICE from U/VWIND before computing U/VSTRESS
605    
606    checkpoint59k
607    o pkg/seaice: ICE2WATR=SEAICE_rhoIce/rhoConst for consistency between
608      dynamics and thermodynamics. Set ICE2WATR=0.92 to reproduce older results.
609    o fix un-initialised variable problem (in mom_vecinv & shap_filt):
610      all experiments pass when compile with un-initialised var. checking option.
611    o added pkg/salt_plume
612    o script to test restart (for now, in MITgcm_contrib/jmc_script)
613    o pkg/seaice: new read/write pickup version.
614      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
615      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
616    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in seaice_ocean_stress (call of seaice_calc_strainrates)
617    o lab_sea.hb87: modify the domain & update output.hb87.txt :
618      lat-long grid & no-slip BC in seaice-dynamics produce different sigma12
619      at j=1 & j=Ny+1 : this case is not treated correctly in the restart
620      process. Fixed here by closing the domain at the Northern boundary.
621    o pkg/rw: cleaning-up: call directly new MDSIO S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD.
622    o pkg/mdsio: add new arguments to MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD for reading/writing
623      a set of consecutive levels in/from a 3-D array.
624    o pkg/ptracers:
625      use a 2 characters string ioLabel to identify tracer (if more than 99 tracers).
626      to-do: fix pkg/diagnostics when large number of diagnostics are defined.
627    
628    checkpoint59j
629    o in pkgs: dic, obcs, offline, rbcs:
630      standard way to compute coeff. for time interpolation between 2 time reccords
631      which retains full precision (& make results less dependent on compiler).
632      update output of exp: tutorial_cfc_offline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
633    o pkg/cfc: if compiled with exf and seaice, cfc now can use fields from those
634      packages instead of reading ice cover and wind speed separately
635    o split PTRACERS.h in 2 header files: PTRACERS_FIELDS.h & PTRACERS_PARAMS.h
636     (keep a temporary version of PTRACERS.h in verification/OpenAD/code_ad_openad
637      to allow to compile customized code before the update)
638    o cleaning-up:
639      - fix CPP instruction syntax in pkg/obcs
640      - replace (some) call to MDSIO S/R with call to RW interface S/R ; and
641        add #ifdef ALLOW_MDSIO elsewhere (allows to compile without pkg/mdsio)
642      - fix some threads issue in IO parts.
643    o pkg/dic:
644      - add tons of "_d 0" (--> much better testreports !)
645       and then update outputs of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
646    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
647      add a special version of momentum advection intended to conserve momentum
648      next to a bathymetry step or a coastline edge. (default = off = #undef)
649    o new read/write pickup version:
650      - for now, only implemented for main (mdsio) pickup file.
651      - write out only what is needed to restart; merge pickup_nh , pickup_ph
652        and main pickup together.
653      - read meta file; read only what is needed to restart; stop if a field
654        is missing (if pickupStrictlyMatch=T, = the default) or try to restart
655        if it make sense (even if the restart is not perfect).
656      - if no meta file, assume that pickup to read corresponds exactly to
657        a pickup that would currently be written.
658      - read pickup written in the old format (until checkpoint59i) if it
659        recognizes an old meta file (no field-list).
660      - add a meta file in exp. which starts from a pickup: 2 cases:
661        a) minimal meta file (with just file precision) + pickupStrictlyMatch=F
662         e.g.: global_ocean.90x40x15/input/pickup.0000036000.meta
663        b) a meta file describing the content of the associated pickup file
664         e.g.: tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/input/pickup.0004248000.meta
665    o pkg/mdsio & pkg/rw:
666      - new routine to read a meta file ; new set of routine to read
667        Multiple-fields file (with meta file).
668    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice
669        HSNOW, HSALT, UICE, and VICE
670    
671    checkpoint59i
672    o adjoint:
673      * fix multiDimAdvection adjoint
674        (partial recomputation problem by TAF for fVerT(:,:,kDown)
675        and comlev1 size definition (maxpass vs. max. number of tracers)
676      * verification/global_ocean.90x45x15 adjoint now tests
677        NLFS and multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
678      * verification/lab_sea now tests multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
679    o pkg/kpp: add "_d 0" to real constant (if missing);
680      update output of exp: natl_box (10.digits); vermix (std, 7.digits)
681      and lab_sea, 3.FW (only 6,4,6 digits match) & AD (8.digits).
682    o prepare for "clever pickup" implementation: add new header file "RESTART.h"
683      for internal parameters related to restart process (formerly from PARAMS.h)
684      and add startAB parameter to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
685    o more standard interface to {PKG}_WRITE_PICKUP with pickup suffix passed
686      as argument. (only atm2d & obcs write_pickup have not yet been updated)
687    o pkg/monitor:
688      - use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE instead of _GLOBAL_SUM
689      - fix mon_stats_rs (statistics over the full domain, even where field is zero)
690      - account for deep Atmosphere factor and density factor (anelastic)
691    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice HEFF and AREA
692    o pkg/shelfice: add option for convservative form of Hellmer&Olbers (1989)
693      thermodynamics
694      - requires a little reorganization, which affects the testreport results
695        of isomip.htd (only 7 digits of cg2d agree) => update/modify experiment,
696        so that now the conservative form is tested
697      - add a few comments
698    o add missing cvs Header: or Name: in eesupp/*, pkg/* & verification/code*
699    o add a little bit of code to gad_os7mp_adv_?.F to help vectorization
700    o add new diagnostics to seaice: advective, diffusive fluxes (only for
701      multidim-advection, for scheme 2 they are not filled) and transports,
702      thermodynamic growth rates
703    o change units of EmPmR (inside the code, + within coupling interface)
704      from m/s to kg/m2/s (mass flux) but leave input file unchanged.
705      Affects results @ truncation level (cg2d match) and update output of
706       experiments: lab_sea(6), global_ocean.90x40x15(10),
707      global_ocean.cs32x15(11x3,10), natl_box(11), tutorial_global_oce_latlon(11)
708      + adjoint results: global_ocean_ebm(11) and lab_sea (12).
709      Coupled set-up: allow to restart from previous pickups (cpl_oldPickup=T).
710      Next: will retire convertEmP2rUnit (simply using mass2rUnit instead).
711    
712    checkpoint59h
713    o pkg/exf:
714      - improve vectorization by moving if-statement out of loops in
715        exf_mapfields, exf_radiation
716      - exf_bulkformulae.F: introduce 2D fields and vectorize code
717    o pkg/kpp: added the salt plume scheme (ALLOW_SALT_PLUME) to KPP package
718    o testreport:
719      - allow to test for Qnet & SeaIce monitor output; clean-up ALLOW_BULK_OFFLINE
720        monitor & update offline_exf_seaice exp. output.
721      - AD testing: pass/FAIL according to Grad. output accuracy (instead of Cost)
722    o pkg/seaice:
723      - bug fix in the evp solver: boundary conditions were affected be
724        masking of zMax/zMin (changes results)
725      - minor bug fix in boundary conditions in seaice_calc_strainrates
726        (changes results for no_slip)
727      - seaice_lsr.F: make interpolation of eta dependent on boundaries
728      - replace hardcoded lower limit for zeta (zMin) by runtime parameter
729      - add a test to lab_sea, that tests the Hibler and Bryan (1987) ocean
730        stress formulation and no-slip boundary conditions
731    o pkg/ptracers: Temporary fix for PTRACERS_useGMRedi & PTRACERS_useKPP
732      in gad_calc_rhs.F ; add few safety stops in initialisation phase.
733    o pkg/seaice: a first HSALT time stepping equation has been checked in
734    o pkg/seaice: replaced maskW with seaiceMaskU and maskS with seaiceMaskV
735      in seaice_lsr.F; this solves the pkg/seaice-pkg/obcs problem
736      without requiring DO-IF statements
737    o pkg/thsice:
738      use continuous power-law function for partition of energy between lateral
739      melting/freezing and thinning/thickening ; old code using step function
740      still available with #undef THSICE_FRACEN_POWERLAW
741      update output of exp: aim.5l_cs.thSI, global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn & .thsice
742    o testreport: change AD testing : check against results/output_adm.txt
743      using same scripts as for forward test.
744    
745    checkpoint59g
746    o adjoint testing: in preparation for changing testreport:
747      - output format: cost and grad written on separated lines
748      - ad output results in directory "results" (instead of "results_ad")
749    o pkg/seaice: adding ice salinity HSALT as a prognostic variable
750    o pkg/seaice: changes for using pkg/seaice with pkg/obcs
751    o pkg/ecco: allow user defined cost function contributions
752    o testreport:
753      Allow to choose (per experiment) the list of tested output variables
754       and the main variable (used to issue a pass/FAIL ) ;
755      - for now, done by adding the specific list in file: [exp]/input/tr_checklist
756      - default is unchanged: >cg2d< , (T,S,U,V,5 tracers)_[min,max,mean,StD] ;
757      Also modify printing of summary:
758       a) ">" NN "<" indicates the "main" variable (used for pass/FAIL)
759       b) echo the list of tested variables in the individual summary.txt of
760          each experiment.
761    o new S/R GLOBAL_SUM_TILE to compute global sum independently of number of
762      threads and number of processes (with #define GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV)
763      (but still depend on the tile decompostion of the domain).
764    o pkg/seaice: change a discretization detail to make the B-grid code
765      "more symmetric". This change is likely to remove all "ridges/leads" that
766      where quasi-aligned with the grid in B-grid solutions. It may also be
767      the solution to the stress coupling issues with the B-grid.
768    o each tested exp: add a "run" directory with a standard ".cvsignore" file ;
769      remove .cvsignore from input dir. (since testreport no longer run here).
770    o pkg/thsice:
771     - cleaning: move common block out of "THSICE_2DYN.h" (removed) to "THSICE_VARS.h"
772     - fix reshaping of sea-ice just after advection:
773       melt all the ice only if ice-volume is too small.
774     - re-visit lateral/thinning repartition of melting (modifs from May 04, 2007):
775       prevent lateral melting if sea-ice fraction is too close to iceMaskMin ;
776     and update experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (+start from pickup files).
777    o external_forcing_surf : extend the use of salt_EvPrRn & temp_EvPrRn (fresh-water
778      tracer content) to linFS or no RealFreshWaterFlux ; default remains unchanged.
779    o define mass2rUnit & rUnit2mass as units conversion factor, used for surface
780      forcing. mass2rUnit: from mass per unit area [kg/m2] to r-coordinate unit
781      (z-coord: =1/rhoConst ; p-coord: =gravity) ; rUnit2mass is just the reverse;
782      and remove horiVertRatio (& recip_horiVertRatio). Affects truncation error
783      of exp. global_oce_in_p: 10 16 16 14 16 13 16 16 16 13 13 13 16 13 13 12 16
784      -> update output.txt
785    o pkg/cd_code: add brackets in multiple terms sum (S/R CD_CODE_SCHEME):
786     this affects truncation error: -> update output.txt of exp:
787      global_ocean.90x40x15 (fw&adm), lab_sea (fw&adm) & lab_sea.lsr,
788      ideal_2D_oce, isomip.htd, natl_box, tutorial_global_oce_latlon.
789    
790    checkpoint59f
791    o pkg/autodiff: zero_adj resets an ajoint variable to zero (in adjoint mode)
792    o pkg/ctrl: ctrl_bound  forces parameter corrections to stay in
793      a bounded range (in forward mode)
794    o pkg/ecco, ctrl, autodiff and mom_common:
795     internal parameter controls, completements of implementations
796    o add few EXCH S/R (UV_BGRID, UV_DGRID, SM) for B & D-Grid velocity & 2nd Moment Sxy.
797    o use UV_BGRID exch for dxV,dyU: for now, only with pkg/exch2 & forward ;
798      (not seem any difference in testing results).
799    o pkg/cd_code: use the right EXCH calls (for CS-grid); but problem remains
800       at face corners.
801    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
802     - in GAD.h, define as parameters (iMinAdvR,iMaxAdvR,jMinAdvR,jMaxAdvR)
803      loop range indices for computing vertical advection tendency
804      and do the calculation in the interior only (no overlap) ;
805      for now, only implemented for SOM advection (to save CPU time).
806     - add argument "withSigns" to S/R FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL (needed for SOM_xy moment)
807    o exch2 adjoint
808      First set of changes:
809      - add exch2 hand-written adjoint templates
810      - exch2 hand-written no longer use TAF-flag 'nownew_arg'
811        This will require cleanup in pkg/autodiff/*.F
812        (changed routines currently kept separate in verif. code/)
813      - Comment all relevant #ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
814        that used to hide exch2 or cubed-sphere specific code
815        (commented via 'cph-exch2')
816    o pkg/seaice
817      - Close southern and western boundaries for UICE/VICE when useOBCS=.TRUE.
818    o pkg/bulk_force: fix loading into Qsw of Short-Wave flux; and update
819       output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice .
820    
821    checkpoint59e
822    o exch2: new S/R that only use the cube-tracer (center-position) exchange:
823      for B-grid vector (not yet tested) and C-grid vector (<- only used
824      when option W2_USE_R1_ONLY in W2_OPTIONS.h is defined).
825    o starting implementation of Duffy et al. (GRL 1999) salt plume scheme
826      (#ifdef ALLOW_SALT_PLUME)
827    o gather_2d/scatter_2d: removed halo regions
828    o gmredi: add option (GM_taper_scheme='fm07') for Ferrari & McWilliams 2007
829      scheme and the corresponding test case (under front_relax dir). For now,
830      only available with Skew-flux form and not yet tested in realistic set-up.
831      adjoint: store directives updated, but gradient checks deteriorated,
832      so maybe GM/Redi adjoint is now broken.
833    o seaice adjoint
834      * add AREA, HEFF, HSNOW as control variable
835        (should not change lab_sea results)
836      * CTRL_OPTIONS.h needs new flag: CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_40
837    o pkg/seaice:
838      * added computation of saltFlux in seaice_growth;
839        For time being, sea ice salinity is assumed constant
840        contribution of snow flooding to freshening of sea ice is neglected.
841        SEAICE_salinity is set in SEAICE_PARM01 of data.seaice and it
842        defaults to 0.0 in order to maintain backward compatibility.
843        Typical values for SEAICE_salinity are 4 to 10 g/kg.
844      * replaced dRf(1) with dRf(kSurface)*hFacC(kSurface) in seaice_growth.F
845      * added SEAICE_availHeatFrac, which specifies fraction of surface level
846        heat content used to melt or grow ice
847      * commented out cap of HICE: it helps keep ice thinner
848      * reintroduced cap of HEFF via MAX_HEFF and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF option
849      * applied OBCS T/S mask to HEFFM sea ice mask
850    
851    checkpoint59d
852    o standard name: {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_STATE to fill diagnostics array
853     for {PKG} state variables, and called from DO_STATEVARS_DIAGS.
854     (keep {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_FILL for non-state variables diagnostics)
855    o pkg/gmredi (gmredi_readparms.F): add some missing "_d 0"
856     and change default value of parameter "GM_Small_Number";
857     update output of exp: lab_sea (x2), cfc_example, global_ocean.90x40x15,
858       global_ocean.cs32x15 (x4), global_ocean_ebm, global_with_exf,  
859       tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_global_oce_latlon
860    o pkg/ecco: cost function when applying pkg/smooth to controls
861    o pkg/ctrl: add forcingPrecond run time parameter
862    o pkg/seaice:
863     - replace ZMIN=4.e8 with ZMIN=0. in dynsolver.F as in C-grid code
864     - fix bug in metric terms of u-equation in LSR solver (implicit part),
865       changes verification/lab_sea
866     - rearrange implicit part of u-equation in LSR solver to make it easier to
867       read, understand, and debug. This causes changes at the truncation level.
868     - fix (serious) bug in the boundary conditions (sign error in the implicit
869       part) of the LSR solver. Changes all LSR results.
870     - fixed problem with HSNOW initialization to avoid thick snow when AREA
871       is initilized with small values - does not change lab_sea results.
872     - added HsnowFile initialization capability
873    o pkg/smooth: addition to model/src and pkg/ctrl so allow
874     initialization of pkg/smooth and application to control vector
875    o pkg/seaice: fix another bug in the LSR no-slip boundary conditons
876    o dependencies: pkg/profiles requires pkg/cal
877    o pkg/profiles:
878     - added option ALLOW_PROFILES_GENERICGRID
879         -> pkg/profiles can thus be used with any grid (e.g. cs32x15) assuming
880         that interpolation information (grid points and coefficients) is provided
881         within the netcdf input files.
882         -> sample matlab scripts can be found in MITgcm_contrib/gael
883         that allow you to prepare netcdf input files.
884     - also modified: cleaner include statements, cleaner error print statements,
885       cleaner stops when error, and more tests of the netcdf input files consistency.
886    o additional test (in global_ocean.cs32x15) using seaice+thsice pkgs.
887    o pkg/seaice:
888     - move seaice-diagnostics from seaice_do_diags to do_statevars_diags; this
889       requires a new routine: seaice_diagnostics_fill.F
890     - make sure that seaice does not move if not forced (pressure replacement
891       method, Hibler and Ip, 1995), changes results
892     - and new damping criterion for EVP solver according to Hunke, JCP, 2001
893     - SEAICE_evpDampC = > 0. turns it on (615. is the recommended value).
894       It is turned off by default (=-1.), because it changes the results.
895     - make it possible to read AREA from a file, too.
896    
897    checkpoint59c
898    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
899    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
900    o pkg/thsice:
901     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
902      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
903    o pkg/obcs:
904     - bug fix for balance code
905    o pkg/seaice:
906      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
907      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
908        to SEAICE_elasticParm
909      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
910      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
911      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
912      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
913    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
914      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
915        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
916        clipping or linear tappering.
917      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
918      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
919        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
920      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
921    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
922    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
923      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
924    o adjoint:
925      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
926      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
927      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
928      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
929    
930    checkpoint59b
931    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
932      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
933    o pkg/seaice:
934      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
935        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
936      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
937      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
938      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
939        better
940    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
941      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
942    o pkg/exf:
943      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
944      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
945      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
946      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
947        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
948    o pkg/seaice:
949      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
950      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
951        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
952    o pkg/exf:
953      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
954      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
955      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
956        to the main code ;
957      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
958        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
959        previous code.
960        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
961      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
962    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
963      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
964        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
965      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
966        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
967      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
968      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
969    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
970      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
971      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
972        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
973        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
974     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
975      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
976        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
977      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
978        by ice & snow emissivity.
979    o pkg/thsice:
980     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
981      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
982      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
983      and in thsice_extend.F:
984      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
985      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
986     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
987      and cpl_aim+ocn
988    o pkg/kpp
989     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
990       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
991     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
992     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
993     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
994       be the best fix)
995    o pkg/seaice
996     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
997     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
998    o OpenAD
999     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
1000    
1001    checkpoint59a
1002    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
1003    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
1004       himin       -> hIceMin
1005       himin0      -> hThinIce
1006       hihig       -> hThickIce
1007       i0          -> i0swFrac
1008       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
1009       frac_energy -> fracMelting
1010      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
1011       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
1012      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
1013    o in FFIELDS.h:
1014      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
1015      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
1016         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
1017    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
1018    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
1019        3D diffusivity arrays are used; pkg/kpp/kpp_calc_diff_s & _t.F
1020        are no longer updating the vertical diffusivity array
1021        (passed as argument) but are (re-) setting those arrays.
1022    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
1023      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
1024        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
1025      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
1026      - the above changes lab_sea results
1027      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
1028        may follow
1029      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
1030      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
1031        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
1032        of choosing it)
1033      - add principal stress diagnostics
1034      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
1035        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
1036        not have.
1037      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
1038        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
1039        in all cases)
1040    o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
1041      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
1042    
1043    checkpoint59
1044    o pkg/exf:
1045      - fix wind-stress location: defined on A-grid (if ALLOW_ATM_WIND &
1046        ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE or USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION), otherwise, defined on C-grid
1047      - move exf header files from lower_case.h to UPPER_CASE.h ;
1048        add missing cvs Header & Name
1049      - add adjoint routines and flow dirs for newly used exch_uv_agrid routines
1050      - add namelist param. selectStressGridPosition, exf_monFreq
1051      - retire many _CLIM routines, and remove data.exf_clim
1052        + params moved to data.exf
1053        + climsst, climsss now handled by exf_set_gen, i.e.
1054          climss?period=0 refers to constant field,
1055          climss?period=-12 to monthly forcing
1056      - split up namelists in data.exf
1057    o pkg/seaice:
1058      - remove seaice_exch and seaice_exch_uv
1059      - remove superfluous exchange of theta
1060      - add myThid to seaice_budget_ocean/ice
1061      - add new interface for atmospheric wind forcing (C-grid only)
1062        + new routine
1063        + two new field (taux, tauy for stress over ice)
1064        + removed one global field (DAIRN) for C-grid case only
1065    o pkg/thsise
1066      - 2nd set of modifs for thsice adjoint in conjunction with exf
1067    o enable runtime flag useEXF (useCAL is set to .T. if useEXF=.T.)
1068    
1069    checkpoint58y_post
1070    o Added capability for latitudinal dependence of Bryan and Lewis, 1979
1071      vertical diffusivity, similar to that in MOM4; turned on using
1072      #define ALLOW_BL79_LAT_VARY in CPP_OPTIONS.h and specified using
1073      diffKrBL79*, diffKrBLEQ*, and BL79LatVary in runtime data file.
1074    o Added capability for 3D specification of background vertical diffusion
1075      coefficient.  This is done by (i) #define ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
1076      in CPP_OPTIONS.h and (ii) specifying file diffKrFile in runtime
1077      "data" file that contains the 3D vertical diffusivity coefficients.
1078    o ice dynamics (pkg/seaice) with thsice thermodynamics:
1079      - add code within pkg thsice to advect & diffuse sea-ice fields
1080      similar to (and will replace) what has been added in  seaice_advdiff.F,
1081      but: - conserving Mass, Heat & Salt.
1082           - better when using non-linear advection scheme (not yet fully tested)
1083           - can also be used in atmospheric set-up (for now, only the diffusion).
1084    
1085    checkpoint58x_post
1086    o IO option for global-file compact format:
1087      - add options when generating topology (utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator)
1088      - add I/O capability (pkg/mdsio).
1089      - adapt utils/matlab/rdmds.m to read this format.
1090      for now long-line format not yet supported by pkg/mdsio (& exch2).
1091    o shelfice: add a few diagnostics
1092    
1093    checkpoint58w_post
1094    o p-coord. non-hydrostatic using reference profile for w <-> omega conversion:
1095      rVel2wUnit & wUnit2rVel are computed from reference profile Tref,Sref
1096      (and replace horiVertRatio in NH code).
1097      Update output of exp.: tutorial_global_oce_in_p (useNHMTerms !)
1098                         and tutorial_plume_on_slope (sensitive to truncation)
1099    o seaice: if ALLOW_ATM_WIND is undefined use wind stress
1100      directly to drive seaice model (C-grid only)
1101    o exf: when input wind-stress (#undef ALLOW_ATM_WIND):
1102     - reintroduce computation of wind from stress,
1103     - compute tau (in exf_bulkformulae.F) from windstress averaged to
1104       mass points to avoid tau = 0
1105     - fix serious bug: (1/3) in Fortran is not the same as (1./3.)
1106    o rdmnc.m: make it work with "global" files created with gluemnc
1107    o rdmnc.m : some improvements in dealing with singleton dimension
1108      (tested on all testreport mnc output files).
1109    o genmake2: disable pkg/profiles if netcdf test fails.
1110    o cpl_aim+ocn exp.: use consistent rhoConstFresh in Atm & Ocn; update output.
1111    o move call to cal_readparms up to make calendar parameters/variable available
1112      to all packages
1113    
1114    checkpoint58v_post
1115    o change EOS (from POLY3 to JMD95P) in global_ocean.90x45x15 to get
1116      useDynP_inEos_Zc tested.
1117  o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields  o pkg/exf: changes to properly interpolate/mask/scale initial fields
1118  o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields  o utils/matlab/cs_grid/read_cs: routines to speed up reading of CS510 fields
