4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o add a "warning" (to Error msg file) when an Active Tracer is not using AB-2
8      and staggerTimeStep is off (needed for stability of Internal-wave dynamics).
9    o move out of PARAMS.h & data the last pieces of old-ptracer code: tauTr1ClimRelax,
10     & lambdaTr1ClimRelax ; put those 2 params in PTRACERS_PARAMS.h & data.ptracers
11       (note: not clear to me what lambdaTr1ClimRelax is still used for ...)
12    o pkg/mom_vecinv: - new parameter "selectVortScheme" to select which
13       scheme to use for vorticty-term ;
14     - compute upwindVorticity=T case within mom_vi_u/v_coriolis_c4.F
15       (with default selectVortScheme, return to original discretisation)
16     - remove weird combination (e.g.: upwindVorticity & highOrderVorticity)
17    o pkg/seaice: add a line to the summary to indicate grid type (B/C)
18    o in mom_calc_visc, fix average value of viscAh_W & viscA4_W next to the
19      bottom ; only used with variable horizontal viscosity and non-hydrostatic.
20      also fix diagnostics VISCAHW & VISCA4W.
21    
22    checkpoint59o
23    o dome/code/obcs_calc.F: avoid division by zero (detected using gfortran).
24    o change the loop ordering in most gad_*_adv_x.F to improve vectorization:
25      move a few statemens out the main loop into separate loops
26    o pkg/shelfice:
27      - sort out freshwater flux; convert freshwater fluxes to mass fluxes
28        (kg/m^2/s), does not break tests, because in verification/isomip,
29        rhoConstFresh=rhoConst (by accident)
30      - rearrange computation of tLoc, sLoc, pLoc to make code more efficient
31      - move S/R find_rho_scalar, pkg/ecco/sw_ptmp.F, pkg/ecco/sw_adtg.F into
32        new file model/src/seawater.F, so that they are available for all pkgs.
33      - convert potential temperature into in-situ temperature. This changes the
34        isomip tests => update tests
35    o add a flag writePickupAtEnd (default=true) to be able to suppress
36      writing a pickup at the last timestep
37    o tools/mpack-1.6 :
38      - disable automake (not working) and autoconf (not needed).
39      - update to version 1.6.4 which fix MD5 code on some 64 bits platforms
40        also cleaner with much less compilation warnings.
41    o pkg/profiles:
42      rename profiles_interp_mean_genericgrid as profiles_interp_mean_gg
43      (for "less than 32 characters name" compiler requirement)
44    o pkg/obcs and pkg/exf: added capability to specify seaice open boundary
45      conditions that have a different sampling frequency than S/T/U/V obcs
46    o pkg/diagnostics (stats-diags):
47      - fix global Min/Max in case 1 processor get only empty tiles
48    o genmake2: replace (4 times)
49         make genmake_tc_1.o >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
50      with
51         COMM="$CC $CFLAGS -c genmake_tc_1.c"
52         echo $COMM >> genmake_warnings
53         $COMM >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
54      to make genmake2 always see the value of CC as specified in the optfile.
55    o generic_advdiff: - prather advection scheme (SOM) coded for CS-grid.
56      - add diagnostics for 1srt & 2nd Order moments and sub-grid variance.
57      - modify verification advect_cs test to test SOM-advection on CS-grid.
58    o pkg/ctrl:
59      - Rewrite of ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F,
60        introducing a generic routine (ctrl_map_ini_gen.F).
61      - Modification of ctrl_bound/adctrl_bound handling control vector bounds.
62    
63    checkpoint59n
64    o pkg/diagnostics: for large number of diagnostics, store diagnostic mate
65      number in dedicate array "hdiag":
66      - new version of S/R DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST : DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST
67        with 1 more argument (mate number); modify old version DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST.
68      - many small changes (integer format) for large number of diagnostics
69      - start to use DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST (necessary for diagnostics with
70        a counter mate) in pkg diagnostics, ptracers, thsice & aim_v23.
71    o add parameter rotateGrid and Euler angles EulerPhi/Theta/Psi. For
72      usingSphericalGrid, this allows to define the rotated grid coordinates
73      via phiMin/thetaMin/dxSpacing/dySpacing, etc., but then re-compute the
74      geographical coordinates according to the inverse of the rotation defined
75      by the Euler angles, so that Coriolis parameter and online-interpolation by
76      exf works with the geographical coordinates on XC/YC/XG/YG.
77      Naturally, this feature does not work with all packages, so some
78      combinations are prohibited in config_summary (flt, flt_zonal, ecco,
79      profiles), because there the coordinates are assumed to be regular
80      spherical grid coordinates.
81    o pkg/gmredi,ctrl,ecco,autodiff,grdchk and model/src,inc:
82      - introduce isopycnal diffusion coefficient control.
83    o tools/adjoint_options:
84      - additional control vector components.
85    o pkg/mnc: have mnc create marginally meaning full coordinate variables
86      (that is the grid indices) if usingCurvilinearGrid and NOT EXCH2
87    o pkg/mypackage:
88      - add example of read/write pickup for state-var ;
89      - add entry points to the main code for state-vars diags & write-pickup.
90    o pkg/exf: rewrite of exf_getffieldrec.F to properly deal with year
91      transitions for useExfYearlyFields
92      - add new subroutine that determines the file to read from for
93        use*YearlyFields = .TRUE. and .FALSE.
94      - add a verification experiment to global_with_exf that tests
95        useExfYearlyFields with USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION defined
96    o pkg/obcs/exf: add useOBCSYearlyFields (=.FALSE.) to obcs with exf in
97      analogy to useExfYearlyFields; rearrange obcs_prescribe_read: two new
98      subroutines (which could be generated from a template, because they are
99      almost identical), for now they are included in obcs_prescribe_read.F for
100      simplicity
101    o pkg/exf:
102      - add a little more diagnostic to exf_interp_read (in analogy to
103        mds_read_field, can be turned off with debugLevel < debugLevA=1)
104      - improve vectorizability of exf_interp for TARGET_NEC_SX, makes code
105        ugly but fast by unrolling short inner loops, inserting a unroll=8
106        directive in routine lagran, and splitting a loop and making do while the
107        outermost loop (the latter requires the intoduction of index arrays)
108    o pkg/obcs: replace obcs_apply_area/heff/hsalt/hsnow with obcs_apply_seaice
109    o pkg/seaice: moved DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE from seaice_model to seaice_dynsolver
110      http://forge.csail.mit.edu/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2008-January/003173.html
111    o verification/seaice_obcs: updated for restart test and latest options
112    o pkg/seaice: add a new flag SEAICEuseTEM to use a slightly different
113      ice rheology (so-called truncated ellipse, that gets rid of tensile stress);
114      for now this is only available for the C-grid code and also within
115      #ifdef SEAICE_ALLOW_TEM, because this option may slow down the EVP code
116    
117    checkpoint59m
118    o pkg/seaice: use different time constant for melting (SEAICE_gamma_t)
119      and freezing (SEAICE_gamma_t_frz) ice due to mixed layer temperature
120    o gad_som : fix flux output (& diagnostics) to have same units as other  
121      advection scheme fluxes (was previously multiplied by deltaT).  
122    o added verification/seaice_obcs both to test seaice open boundaries
123      and to provide an example matlab scrpt for generating them
124    o added verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume for testing pkg/salt_plume
125    o pkg/salt_plume: clean up salt_plume_frac.F to
126      remove redundancy in PlumeMethod 1 and 4
127    o pkg/kpp: added saltplume diagnostics
128    o pkg/obcs and pkg/seaice:
129      - do not set uice and vice to zero when OB*icefile are unspecified
130      - OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE is undefined by default
131      - moved seaice tracer obcs after call to seaice_growth
132    o pkg/salt_plume: added various options for salt plume depth
133      criterion and for vertical distribution of the salt
134    
135    checkpoint59l
136    o pkg/ptracers: new version of ptracers pickup:
137      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
138      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
139    o pkg/seaice:
140      - add timescale for melting due to warm mixed layer as a means of
141        setting SEAICE_availHeatFrac more conveniently
142      - add a CPP-flag/runtime parameter check for flooding algorithm
143      - reformulated availHeat in seaice_growth.F to be independent of AREA
144    o change units attribute of EmPmR netcdf variables to kg/m^2/s to reflect recent
145      unit changes
146    o pkg/obcs: added OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE constraint
147    o cg2d.F: add 3 compiler directives that speed up this routine by 30% on a NEC
148      SX vector computer.
149    o pkg/seaice:
150      - removed SEAICE_FFIELDS.h and seaice_get_forcing.F
151        seaice forcing fields can now be read only through pkg/exf
152      - removed some unused halos
153    o no longer write pickup from THE_MODEL_MAIN but always from FORWARD_STEP
154    o pkg/exf: added useRelativeWind EXF_PARAM.h option for subtracting U/VVEL
155      or U/VICE from U/VWIND before computing U/VSTRESS
156    
157    checkpoint59k
158    o pkg/seaice: ICE2WATR=SEAICE_rhoIce/rhoConst for consistency between
159      dynamics and thermodynamics. Set ICE2WATR=0.92 to reproduce older results.
160    o fix un-initialised variable problem (in mom_vecinv & shap_filt):
161      all experiments pass when compile with un-initialised var. checking option.
162    o added pkg/salt_plume
163    o script to test restart (for now, in MITgcm_contrib/jmc_script)
164    o pkg/seaice: new read/write pickup version.
165      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
166      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
167    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in seaice_ocean_stress (call of seaice_calc_strainrates)
168    o lab_sea.hb87: modify the domain & update output.hb87.txt :
169      lat-long grid & no-slip BC in seaice-dynamics produce different sigma12
170      at j=1 & j=Ny+1 : this case is not treated correctly in the restart
171      process. Fixed here by closing the domain at the Northern boundary.
172    o pkg/rw: cleaning-up: call directly new MDSIO S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD.
173    o pkg/mdsio: add new arguments to MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD for reading/writing
174      a set of consecutive levels in/from a 3-D array.
175    o pkg/ptracers:
176      use a 2 characters string ioLabel to identify tracer (if more than 99 tracers).
177      to-do: fix pkg/diagnostics when large number of diagnostics are defined.
178    
179    checkpoint59j
180    o in pkgs: dic, obcs, offline, rbcs:
181      standard way to compute coeff. for time interpolation between 2 time reccords
182      which retains full precision (& make results less dependent on compiler).
183      update output of exp: tutorial_cfc_offline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
184    o pkg/cfc: if compiled with exf and seaice, cfc now can use fields from those
185      packages instead of reading ice cover and wind speed separately
186    o split PTRACERS.h in 2 header files: PTRACERS_FIELDS.h & PTRACERS_PARAMS.h
187     (keep a temporary version of PTRACERS.h in verification/OpenAD/code_ad_openad
188      to allow to compile customized code before the update)
189    o cleaning-up:
190      - fix CPP instruction syntax in pkg/obcs
191      - replace (some) call to MDSIO S/R with call to RW interface S/R ; and
192        add #ifdef ALLOW_MDSIO elsewhere (allows to compile without pkg/mdsio)
193      - fix some threads issue in IO parts.
194    o pkg/dic:
195      - add tons of "_d 0" (--> much better testreports !)
196       and then update outputs of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
197    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
198      add a special version of momentum advection intended to conserve momentum
199      next to a bathymetry step or a coastline edge. (default = off = #undef)
200    o new read/write pickup version:
201      - for now, only implemented for main (mdsio) pickup file.
202      - write out only what is needed to restart; merge pickup_nh , pickup_ph
203        and main pickup together.
204      - read meta file; read only what is needed to restart; stop if a field
205        is missing (if pickupStrictlyMatch=T, = the default) or try to restart
206        if it make sense (even if the restart is not perfect).
207      - if no meta file, assume that pickup to read corresponds exactly to
208        a pickup that would currently be written.
209      - read pickup written in the old format (until checkpoint59i) if it
210        recognizes an old meta file (no field-list).
211      - add a meta file in exp. which starts from a pickup: 2 cases:
212        a) minimal meta file (with just file precision) + pickupStrictlyMatch=F
213         e.g.: global_ocean.90x40x15/input/pickup.0000036000.meta
214        b) a meta file describing the content of the associated pickup file
215         e.g.: tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/input/pickup.0004248000.meta
216    o pkg/mdsio & pkg/rw:
217      - new routine to read a meta file ; new set of routine to read
218        Multiple-fields file (with meta file).
219    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice
220        HSNOW, HSALT, UICE, and VICE
221    
222    checkpoint59i
223    o adjoint:
224      * fix multiDimAdvection adjoint
225        (partial recomputation problem by TAF for fVerT(:,:,kDown)
226        and comlev1 size definition (maxpass vs. max. number of tracers)
227      * verification/global_ocean.90x45x15 adjoint now tests
228        NLFS and multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
229      * verification/lab_sea now tests multiDimAdvection using DST3 (=30)
230    o pkg/kpp: add "_d 0" to real constant (if missing);
231      update output of exp: natl_box (10.digits); vermix (std, 7.digits)
232      and lab_sea, 3.FW (only 6,4,6 digits match) & AD (8.digits).
233    o prepare for "clever pickup" implementation: add new header file "RESTART.h"
234      for internal parameters related to restart process (formerly from PARAMS.h)
235      and add startAB parameter to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
236    o more standard interface to {PKG}_WRITE_PICKUP with pickup suffix passed
237      as argument. (only atm2d & obcs write_pickup have not yet been updated)
238    o pkg/monitor:
239      - use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE instead of _GLOBAL_SUM
240      - fix mon_stats_rs (statistics over the full domain, even where field is zero)
241      - account for deep Atmosphere factor and density factor (anelastic)
242    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice HEFF and AREA
243    o pkg/shelfice: add option for convservative form of Hellmer&Olbers (1989)
244      thermodynamics
245      - requires a little reorganization, which affects the testreport results
246        of isomip.htd (only 7 digits of cg2d agree) => update/modify experiment,
247        so that now the conservative form is tested
248      - add a few comments
249    o add missing cvs Header: or Name: in eesupp/*, pkg/* & verification/code*
250    o add a little bit of code to gad_os7mp_adv_?.F to help vectorization
251    o add new diagnostics to seaice: advective, diffusive fluxes (only for
252      multidim-advection, for scheme 2 they are not filled) and transports,
253      thermodynamic growth rates
254    o change units of EmPmR (inside the code, + within coupling interface)
255      from m/s to kg/m2/s (mass flux) but leave input file unchanged.
256      Affects results @ truncation level (cg2d match) and update output of
257       experiments: lab_sea(6), global_ocean.90x40x15(10),
258      global_ocean.cs32x15(11x3,10), natl_box(11), tutorial_global_oce_latlon(11)
259      + adjoint results: global_ocean_ebm(11) and lab_sea (12).
260      Coupled set-up: allow to restart from previous pickups (cpl_oldPickup=T).
261      Next: will retire convertEmP2rUnit (simply using mass2rUnit instead).
262    
263    checkpoint59h
264    o pkg/exf:
265      - improve vectorization by moving if-statement out of loops in
266        exf_mapfields, exf_radiation
267      - exf_bulkformulae.F: introduce 2D fields and vectorize code
268    o pkg/kpp: added the salt plume scheme (ALLOW_SALT_PLUME) to KPP package
269    o testreport:
270      - allow to test for Qnet & SeaIce monitor output; clean-up ALLOW_BULK_OFFLINE
271        monitor & update offline_exf_seaice exp. output.
272      - AD testing: pass/FAIL according to Grad. output accuracy (instead of Cost)
273    o pkg/seaice:
274      - bug fix in the evp solver: boundary conditions were affected be
275        masking of zMax/zMin (changes results)
276      - minor bug fix in boundary conditions in seaice_calc_strainrates
277        (changes results for no_slip)
278      - seaice_lsr.F: make interpolation of eta dependent on boundaries
279      - replace hardcoded lower limit for zeta (zMin) by runtime parameter
280      - add a test to lab_sea, that tests the Hibler and Bryan (1987) ocean
281        stress formulation and no-slip boundary conditions
282    o pkg/ptracers: Temporary fix for PTRACERS_useGMRedi & PTRACERS_useKPP
283      in gad_calc_rhs.F ; add few safety stops in initialisation phase.
284    o pkg/seaice: a first HSALT time stepping equation has been checked in
285    o pkg/seaice: replaced maskW with seaiceMaskU and maskS with seaiceMaskV
286      in seaice_lsr.F; this solves the pkg/seaice-pkg/obcs problem
287      without requiring DO-IF statements
288    o pkg/thsice:
289      use continuous power-law function for partition of energy between lateral
290      melting/freezing and thinning/thickening ; old code using step function
291      still available with #undef THSICE_FRACEN_POWERLAW
292      update output of exp: aim.5l_cs.thSI, global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn & .thsice
293    o testreport: change AD testing : check against results/output_adm.txt
294      using same scripts as for forward test.
295    
296    checkpoint59g
297    o adjoint testing: in preparation for changing testreport:
298      - output format: cost and grad written on separated lines
299      - ad output results in directory "results" (instead of "results_ad")
300    o pkg/seaice: adding ice salinity HSALT as a prognostic variable
301    o pkg/seaice: changes for using pkg/seaice with pkg/obcs
302    o pkg/ecco: allow user defined cost function contributions
303    o testreport:
304      Allow to choose (per experiment) the list of tested output variables
305       and the main variable (used to issue a pass/FAIL ) ;
306      - for now, done by adding the specific list in file: [exp]/input/tr_checklist
307      - default is unchanged: >cg2d< , (T,S,U,V,5 tracers)_[min,max,mean,StD] ;
308      Also modify printing of summary:
309       a) ">" NN "<" indicates the "main" variable (used for pass/FAIL)
310       b) echo the list of tested variables in the individual summary.txt of
311          each experiment.
312    o new S/R GLOBAL_SUM_TILE to compute global sum independently of number of
313      threads and number of processes (with #define GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV)
314      (but still depend on the tile decompostion of the domain).
315    o pkg/seaice: change a discretization detail to make the B-grid code
316      "more symmetric". This change is likely to remove all "ridges/leads" that
317      where quasi-aligned with the grid in B-grid solutions. It may also be
318      the solution to the stress coupling issues with the B-grid.
319    o each tested exp: add a "run" directory with a standard ".cvsignore" file ;
320      remove .cvsignore from input dir. (since testreport no longer run here).
321    o pkg/thsice:
322     - cleaning: move common block out of "THSICE_2DYN.h" (removed) to "THSICE_VARS.h"
323     - fix reshaping of sea-ice just after advection:
324       melt all the ice only if ice-volume is too small.
325     - re-visit lateral/thinning repartition of melting (modifs from May 04, 2007):
326       prevent lateral melting if sea-ice fraction is too close to iceMaskMin ;
327     and update experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn (+start from pickup files).
328    o external_forcing_surf : extend the use of salt_EvPrRn & temp_EvPrRn (fresh-water
329      tracer content) to linFS or no RealFreshWaterFlux ; default remains unchanged.
330    o define mass2rUnit & rUnit2mass as units conversion factor, used for surface
331      forcing. mass2rUnit: from mass per unit area [kg/m2] to r-coordinate unit
332      (z-coord: =1/rhoConst ; p-coord: =gravity) ; rUnit2mass is just the reverse;
333      and remove horiVertRatio (& recip_horiVertRatio). Affects truncation error
334      of exp. global_oce_in_p: 10 16 16 14 16 13 16 16 16 13 13 13 16 13 13 12 16
335      -> update output.txt
336    o pkg/cd_code: add brackets in multiple terms sum (S/R CD_CODE_SCHEME):
337     this affects truncation error: -> update output.txt of exp:
338      global_ocean.90x40x15 (fw&adm), lab_sea (fw&adm) & lab_sea.lsr,
339      ideal_2D_oce, isomip.htd, natl_box, tutorial_global_oce_latlon.
340    
341    checkpoint59f
342    o pkg/autodiff: zero_adj resets an ajoint variable to zero (in adjoint mode)
343    o pkg/ctrl: ctrl_bound  forces parameter corrections to stay in
344      a bounded range (in forward mode)
345    o pkg/ecco, ctrl, autodiff and mom_common:
346     internal parameter controls, completements of implementations
347    o add few EXCH S/R (UV_BGRID, UV_DGRID, SM) for B & D-Grid velocity & 2nd Moment Sxy.
348    o use UV_BGRID exch for dxV,dyU: for now, only with pkg/exch2 & forward ;
349      (not seem any difference in testing results).
350    o pkg/cd_code: use the right EXCH calls (for CS-grid); but problem remains
351       at face corners.
352    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
353     - in GAD.h, define as parameters (iMinAdvR,iMaxAdvR,jMinAdvR,jMaxAdvR)
354      loop range indices for computing vertical advection tendency
355      and do the calculation in the interior only (no overlap) ;
356      for now, only implemented for SOM advection (to save CPU time).
357     - add argument "withSigns" to S/R FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL (needed for SOM_xy moment)
358    o exch2 adjoint
359      First set of changes:
360      - add exch2 hand-written adjoint templates
361      - exch2 hand-written no longer use TAF-flag 'nownew_arg'
362        This will require cleanup in pkg/autodiff/*.F
363        (changed routines currently kept separate in verif. code/)
364      - Comment all relevant #ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC
365        that used to hide exch2 or cubed-sphere specific code
366        (commented via 'cph-exch2')
367    o pkg/seaice
368      - Close southern and western boundaries for UICE/VICE when useOBCS=.TRUE.
369    o pkg/bulk_force: fix loading into Qsw of Short-Wave flux; and update
370       output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice .
371    
372    checkpoint59e
373    o exch2: new S/R that only use the cube-tracer (center-position) exchange:
374      for B-grid vector (not yet tested) and C-grid vector (<- only used
375      when option W2_USE_R1_ONLY in W2_OPTIONS.h is defined).
376    o starting implementation of Duffy et al. (GRL 1999) salt plume scheme
377      (#ifdef ALLOW_SALT_PLUME)
378    o gather_2d/scatter_2d: removed halo regions
379    o gmredi: add option (GM_taper_scheme='fm07') for Ferrari & McWilliams 2007
380      scheme and the corresponding test case (under front_relax dir). For now,
381      only available with Skew-flux form and not yet tested in realistic set-up.
382      adjoint: store directives updated, but gradient checks deteriorated,
383      so maybe GM/Redi adjoint is now broken.
384    o seaice adjoint
385      * add AREA, HEFF, HSNOW as control variable
386        (should not change lab_sea results)
387      * CTRL_OPTIONS.h needs new flag: CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_40
388    o pkg/seaice:
389      * added computation of saltFlux in seaice_growth;
390        For time being, sea ice salinity is assumed constant
391        contribution of snow flooding to freshening of sea ice is neglected.
392        SEAICE_salinity is set in SEAICE_PARM01 of data.seaice and it
393        defaults to 0.0 in order to maintain backward compatibility.
394        Typical values for SEAICE_salinity are 4 to 10 g/kg.
395      * replaced dRf(1) with dRf(kSurface)*hFacC(kSurface) in seaice_growth.F
396      * added SEAICE_availHeatFrac, which specifies fraction of surface level
397        heat content used to melt or grow ice
398      * commented out cap of HICE: it helps keep ice thinner
399      * reintroduced cap of HEFF via MAX_HEFF and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF option
400      * applied OBCS T/S mask to HEFFM sea ice mask
401    
402    checkpoint59d
403    o standard name: {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_STATE to fill diagnostics array
404     for {PKG} state variables, and called from DO_STATEVARS_DIAGS.
405     (keep {PKG}_DIAGNOSTICS_FILL for non-state variables diagnostics)
406    o pkg/gmredi (gmredi_readparms.F): add some missing "_d 0"
407     and change default value of parameter "GM_Small_Number";
408     update output of exp: lab_sea (x2), cfc_example, global_ocean.90x40x15,
409       global_ocean.cs32x15 (x4), global_ocean_ebm, global_with_exf,  
410       tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_global_oce_latlon
411    o pkg/ecco: cost function when applying pkg/smooth to controls
412    o pkg/ctrl: add forcingPrecond run time parameter
413    o pkg/seaice:
414     - replace ZMIN=4.e8 with ZMIN=0. in dynsolver.F as in C-grid code
415     - fix bug in metric terms of u-equation in LSR solver (implicit part),
416       changes verification/lab_sea
417     - rearrange implicit part of u-equation in LSR solver to make it easier to
418       read, understand, and debug. This causes changes at the truncation level.
419     - fix (serious) bug in the boundary conditions (sign error in the implicit
420       part) of the LSR solver. Changes all LSR results.
421     - fixed problem with HSNOW initialization to avoid thick snow when AREA
422       is initilized with small values - does not change lab_sea results.
423     - added HsnowFile initialization capability
424    o pkg/smooth: addition to model/src and pkg/ctrl so allow
425     initialization of pkg/smooth and application to control vector
426    o pkg/seaice: fix another bug in the LSR no-slip boundary conditons
427    o dependencies: pkg/profiles requires pkg/cal
428    o pkg/profiles:
429     - added option ALLOW_PROFILES_GENERICGRID
430         -> pkg/profiles can thus be used with any grid (e.g. cs32x15) assuming
431         that interpolation information (grid points and coefficients) is provided
432         within the netcdf input files.
433         -> sample matlab scripts can be found in MITgcm_contrib/gael
434         that allow you to prepare netcdf input files.
435     - also modified: cleaner include statements, cleaner error print statements,
436       cleaner stops when error, and more tests of the netcdf input files consistency.
437    o additional test (in global_ocean.cs32x15) using seaice+thsice pkgs.
438    o pkg/seaice:
439     - move seaice-diagnostics from seaice_do_diags to do_statevars_diags; this
440       requires a new routine: seaice_diagnostics_fill.F
441     - make sure that seaice does not move if not forced (pressure replacement
442       method, Hibler and Ip, 1995), changes results
443     - and new damping criterion for EVP solver according to Hunke, JCP, 2001
444     - SEAICE_evpDampC = > 0. turns it on (615. is the recommended value).
445       It is turned off by default (=-1.), because it changes the results.
446     - make it possible to read AREA from a file, too.
447    
448    checkpoint59c
449    o add S/R and diagnostics for oceanic mixed-layer depth
450    o move GMRedi call after all vertical mixing schemes (including KPP)
451    o pkg/thsice:
452     - ensure iceMask > iceMaskMin : this problem appeared after May-04 modifs
453      (melt only laterally if thin ice): update output of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
454    o pkg/obcs:
455     - bug fix for balance code
456    o pkg/seaice:
457      - allow values of SEAICE_elasticParm > 1
458      - add new parameter SEAICE_evpTauRelax as an alternative
459        to SEAICE_elasticParm
460      - make lsr boundary conditions free slip (by default), changes result
461      - add code for no slip boundary conditions for lsr
462      - set minimum of zeta to zero (and not 4e8) (changes results)
463      - add a cap on AREA after advecting AREA if seaice_growth is not called
464    o change calculation of Visbeck K:
465      - no longer depend on tapering scheme; instead, compute slope (limited
466        by GM_maxSlope). this is equivalent to what was comuted before with
467        clipping or linear tappering.
468      - fix vertical averaging (wrong by 1/2 level)
469      - leave the old version (but will not be maintained) within
470        #ifdef OLD_VISBECK_CALC / #endif
471      - update output of exp. ideal_2D_oce
472    o change error catch in calc_r_star to improve vectorization
473    o exf runoff and seaice: remove ALLOW_SEAICE from exf pkg files and
474      add #define ALLOW_RUNOFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h (when not using exf).
475    o adjoint:
476      Re-organized adjoint checkpointing according to Matt Mazloff
477      (but with modifs/completions/cleanups)
478      Storing is now bundled into large arrays to optimized I/O
479      (and second step in cleanup of the_main_loop)
480    
481    checkpoint59b
482    o coupler (pkg/atm_ocn_coupler, pkg/ocn_compon_interf, pkg/atm2d):
483      - export/import (between ocean & coupler) fields needed for ocean DIC.
484    o pkg/seaice:
485      - get rid of three more exchanges seaice_calc_viscosities (required
486        different loop boundaries in seaice_lsr and seaice_ocean_stress)
487      - bug fix in seaice_ocean_stress (update of lab_sea required)
488      - reduce loop boundaries to necessary minimum also in seaice_evp
489      - go back to the old way of computing deltaC/Z as the adjoint likes that
490        better
491    o Refresh of tutorial_global_oce_latlon (includes changing salinity-like
492      passive tracer to an Age Tracer) + update output.txt
493    o pkg/exf:
494      - implement A-grid / C-grid selection for wind-stress input files.
495      - clean-up exf_wind.F (remove us, use wspeed instead ; add wStress)
496      for now, in exf_bulk_largeyeager04.F only :
497      - change implementation for case where windspeed + 2. components wind-stress
498        are read-in. AND use rhoConstFresh to convert evap.
499    o pkg/seaice:
500      - use correct EXCH_UV for wind-forcing (on A-grid).
501      - change SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to limit the number of option combinations (regarding
502        SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FORCING & SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES); add corresponding stops.
503    o pkg/exf:
504      - default EXF options are now set in EXF_OPTIONS.h (ifndef ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC)
505      EXF_INTERPOLATION:
506      - merge global_with_exf/code version of exf_interp_read.F
507        to the main code ;
508      - Add new option: EXF_INTERP_USE_DYNALLOC to use Dynamical Allocation when
509        reading the file ; Important: This options needs to be defined to recover
510        previous code.
511        otherwise, use fixed size array to read in (size=exf_interp_bufferSize).
512      - no longer loose real*8 precision along the way when using exf_iprec=64.
513    o pkg/seaice: rearrangement of common blocks (really needs more cleaning up)
514      - change discretisation of evp-solver in order to avoid another exchange
515        (changes lab_sea) and clean up a little
516      - replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
517        help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)
518      - add a few "_d 0" where they had been missing in seaice_evp.F
519      - cleaning up: remove unused seaice_calc_rhs.F
520    o pkg/exf: some cleaning-up:
521      - change various "constants" into runtime parameters
522      - cleaned-up Large&Yeager04 routine which should eventually
523        replace exf_bulkformulae.F (changed names of S/R and CPP)
524        and merged various ALLOW_ATM_WIND options
525     only used with thsice pkg (in thsice_get_exf.F):
526      - implement fixed turbulent transfert Coeff over ice (as in Large&Yeager04)
527        which are used when useStabilityFct_overIce=TRUE (= the default)
528      - change default values of ice & snow emissivity and scale downward LW
529        by ice & snow emissivity.
530    o pkg/thsice:
531     fix few little problems, in thsice_calc_thickn.F:
532      - growth vertically (and not laterally) if iceFrac == iceMaskMax
533      - melt only laterally if hIce < hThinIce (as the comments say)
534      and in thsice_extend.F:
535      - allow to form ice even when iceFrac == iceMaskMax (by increasing thickness)
536      - start to form ice as soon as the minimum ice-volume is reachable.
537     update output of test-exp: aim.5l_cs(thSI), global_ocean.cs32x15(thsice),
538      and cpl_aim+ocn
539    o pkg/kpp
540     - move computation of surface related input fields to KPP into a new
541       subroutine kpp_forcing_surf.F
542     - remove wrong (within bi,bj loops) EXCH calls.
543     - little cleaning (add argument myThid in last position, cvs header ...)
544     - for now, fix conservation problem by exchanging KPPviscAz (may not
545       be the best fix)
546    o pkg/seaice
547     - check for inconsistent evp parameter/cpp-flag combination
548     - remove leftover errIO flat for obsolete name list error handling
549    o OpenAD
550     - changed verification/OpenAD to full baroclinic setup (including GM/Redi)
551    
552    checkpoint59a
553    o pkg/seaice: some parameter clarifications and a little bit of clean up
554    o pkg/thsice: rename run-time parameters:
555       himin       -> hIceMin
556       himin0      -> hThinIce
557       hihig       -> hThickIce
558       i0          -> i0swFrac
559       transCoef   -> bMeltCoef
560       frac_energy -> fracMelting
561      add new parameters: hNewIceMax, fracFreezing, dhSnowLin
562       with default values (for now) that do not change the results.
563      remove old version of thsice vars advection in pkg/seaice.
564    o in FFIELDS.h:
565      - replace #ifndef ALLOW_EXF  by #ifndef EXCLUDE_FFIELDS_LOAD
566      - make pLoad & sIceLoad always available (but still only used if
567         ATMOSPHERIC_LOADING is #define).
568    o pkg/kpp: replaced _KPP_RL with _RL
569    o bug fixes for vertical diffusivity computations when both KPP and
570        3D diffusivity arrays are used; pkg/kpp/kpp_calc_diff_s & _t.F
571        are no longer updating the vertical diffusivity array
572        (passed as argument) but are (re-) setting those arrays.
573    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in evp solver, while doing that
574      - change (improve?) discretization of stress computations for both
575        cgrid-lsr and evp solver
576      - add a new routine to compute strain rates
577      - the above changes lab_sea results
578      - add no slip conditions for evp solver (off by default), lsr-version
579        may follow
580      - fix exchange for shear at Z-points (does not change lab_sea)
581      - retire SEAICEuseEVP, instead turn on EVP by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp
582        (to force the user to pick a time step since there is not "safe" way
583        of choosing it)
584      - add principal stress diagnostics
585      - rearrange fields for evp a little to avoid having to call a: too many
586        exchanges and b: exchanges for stress trensor components which we do
587        not have.
588      - modify Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling so that it reuses information
589        of evp, complete rewrite for lsr case (latter is does not yet work
590        in all cases)
591  o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns  o pkg/kpp: add code to have mixing in shelf ice caverns
592      - add myThid to all kpp routines (long overdue)
593
