5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/thsice:
8      - vectorize thsice_solve4temp and thsice_get_exf.
9        Problem: thsice_solve4temp has an unvectorizable statement that
10        might also be problematic for TAF
11      - thsice_get_exf: add the ALLOW_BULK_LARGEYEAGER04 CPP-flag. This
12        does not change the verifcation experiment, but will change all
13        experiments that have this flag undefined (not tested in verification);
14        a little reorganization to save a few 2D fields and recomputations
15    o pkg/obcs: add support for exch2
16      - the position of the boundary and prescribed values are specified using
17        a global domain with exch2 facets stacked
18        - in x for N,S boundaries (like W2_mapIO=-1)
19        - in y for E,W boundaries (so E,W boundaries do not overlap)
20    o pkg/mdsio: add support for writing global sections with exch2
21        file layout is as for obcs described above:
22        - for x-z sections, facets are stacked in x (like W2_mapIO=-1)
23        - for y-z sections, facets are stacked in y
24    o pkg/thsice:
25       - change a few routines for better vectorization: thsice_albedo.F,
26         thsice_step_temp.F, and in thsice_calc_thickn.F. Results are
27         not affected, but in particular the latter routine has changed
28         dramatically (not necessarily easier to read now).
29       - re-arrange calculation in THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP: move outside of i,j loops
30       iteration loop and call to S/R THSICE_GET_BULKF & THSICE_GET_EXF.
31    o verification/lab_sea:
32      - overhaul of the forward model experiments. The main motivation
33        for this revision is that lab_sea has proven quite fragile (when
34        changing the sea-ice code, and switching platforms) to a point
35        when failures were very hard to attribute to specific code problems.
36      - the suspected reason for this fragility is noise amplification by evp so,
37        to start with, we decided to replace evp with lsr in the main experiment.
38      - the input.lsr experiment thus became obsolete and was removed.
39      - it was replaced with the input.fd experiment that uses an
40        analytical "free drift" solution as the ice velocity field.
41      - Taken together, input (lsr), input.fd (free drift) and input.hb87 (evp)
42        will hopefully allow us to discriminate problems due to dynamic solvers
43        from problems due to the thermodynamic code. input.salt_plume (lsr) allows
44        us to test additional options, along with the salt plume package.
45      - Finally a pickup was generated (at the end of a one year run) to
46        make the tests more representative of an actual model run. Previously
47        the tests starting point was a 1m thickness of ice everywhere.
48    o pkg/seaice:
49      - introducing S\R seaice_freedrift.F that compute the
50        analytical solution to an approximate ice momentum
51        equation (i.e. the simple stress/coriolis balance).
52      - define SEAICE_ALLOW_FREEDRIFT to trigger the computation
53        of the free drift velocity field, and enable its use.
54        To actually use the free drift solution as the model ice
55        velocity field set SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT to .TRUE. in data.seaice.
56    o move "useOASIS" from PARAMS.h to EEPARAMS.h and read it from "eedata"
57    
58    checkpoint62l (2010/10/04)
59    o pkg/seaice:
60      -fix the USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version (for variable freezing point);
61      -use "celsius2K" in SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT and in new
62       version (with USE_ORIGINAL_SBI undef);
63    o add hooks for new packages OASIS, the package will follow
64      (hooks exclude the seaice pkg for now)
65    o pkg/autodiff: ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
66      Option to use mdsio_read_whalos.F/mdsio_write_whalos.F,
67      rather than mdsio_readvector.F/mdsio_writevector.F, within
68      adread_adwrite.F to read/write adjoint-related tapes to disk.
69    o eesupp and pkg/mdsio: ALLOW_WHIO
70      Option to write/read 2D fields to files including tiles halos.
71      The main purpose is for adjoint related "tape I/O".
72      The secondary purpose is for debugging phases.
73      A word on those rather specifically intended purposes.
74      The code was meant to be stripped down to the bare minimum.
75      Typically, there is a unique and basic mapping to the global
76      buffer (tile by tile, then proc by proc, then level by level), and
77      byteswaps and meta-files are omitted. Indeed the (*_WH*) code is not
78      meant to generate user friendly outputs of various shapes and forms.
79      Rather it is intended, for the knowledgeabale developers,
80      to be largely independent of the many mdsio options, to allow
81      outputs of tiles+halos in debugging phases and in adjoint runs,
82      and to allow some flexibility in tuning (adoint) I/O depending on each
83      file system behavior. With regard to tuning, most of the potential knobs
84      (to leave files open, to allocate the I/O indep. of usesinglecpuio,
85      to specify directories, to specify the typical size of I/O calls, etc.)
86      are not yet included, and will be added if they prove useful.
87    o pkg/seaice:
88       fix uninitialised arrays in USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version of seaice_solve4temp.F
89    o pkg/seaice:
90       new S/R seaice_solve4temp.F: this is the merged version of Ian Fenty
91       code (seaice_budget_ice_if.F) which enable to recover old standard
92       code (seaice_budget_ice.F) when option USE_ORIGINAL_SBI is defined.
93       temporary: add "#define USE_ORIGINAL_SBI" at the top of seaice_solve4temp.F.
94    o model/src (rStar):
95       use simple average (not area weighted) of rStarFac at U,V point when using
96       vectorInvariant and selectKEscheme=1,3 (consistent with mom. vertical advection)
97       update output of exp. fizhi-cs-32x32x40 and fizhi-cs-aqualev20.
