5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/thsice with pkg/seaice dynamics:
8    - fix domain of computation (interior only, required for exf) and do exchanges
9    - seaice-dynamics forcing: add atmospheric and seaice loading to SSH gradient
10    o towards a standard way of dealing with multi-threading in MONITOR
11      and ${PKG}_MONITOR (all except ptracers_monitor) subroutines.
12    o Pass variable viscosities (vertical and horizontal, e.g., KPP or Leith)
13       to W momentum equation in nonhydrostatic and quasihydrostatic runs.  
14    o make exf_monitor & seaice_monitor independant of the main (dynamics) monitor.
15    o pkg/seaice: fix SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter (put it in a commom block)
16    o generic_advdiff: DST advection S/R : use local copy of velocity to compute CFL
17       (problems ? with gradient check in bottom_ctrl_5x5 adjoint test)
18    o tracer advection:
19     - clean-up and simplify calc_common_factors.F
20     - make a local copy of velocity and pass it (as u,v,r_Trans) to DST tracer
21       advection subroutine (but still not used within DST advection S/R)
22    o rename pkg aim_ocn_coupler to atm_ocn_coupler (later on, will be used without aim)
23    
24    checkpoint58j_post
25    o new driver S/R: LOAD_FIELDS_DRIVER to load external forcing fields
26      from file (collects calls previously in FORWARD_STEP)
27    o move call to SEAICE_MODEL from FORWARD_STEP to DO_OCEANIC_PHYS
28    o adjoint store dir. adjusted accordingly
29    o genmake2
30      replace target "ad_taf" by $(EXE_AD) ; add $(EXE_AD) to the make CLEAN list.
31    
32    checkpoint58i_post
33    o pkg/seaice: add parameter that allows to scale/turn off effect of seaice
34      on wind stress (SEAICEstressFactor defaults to 1.)
35    o Total number of Timers is finite (<=40): comment out 2 non-essential one
36      in the_main_loop.F to avoid Pb (e.g., when running fizhi test)
37    o vector_invariant: fix highOrderVorticity(=4.th.Order) advection
38      on CS-grid: no longer loosing mass.
39    o exf & curvilinear-grid: no longer modify longitude xC & xG.
40    o pkg/ggl90: fix sloppy output and fix a bug
41    o pkg/seaice: added SEAICEuseEVPpickup parameter
42      - Set to false in order to start EVP solver with
43        non-EVP pickup files when using SEAICEuseEVP
44      - fix sign error in diffusion in seaice_calc_rhs
45    
46    checkpoint58h_post
47    * Modifications for bottom topography control
48      o replace hFacC by _hFacC at various places
49      o replace ALLOW_HFACC_CONTROL by ALLOW_DEPTH_CONTROL
50      o add non-self-adjoint cg2d_nsa
51      o update autodiff support routines
52      o re-initialise hfac after ctrl_depth_ini
53      o works for 5x5 box, doesnt work for global_ocean.90x40x15
54    * Adding verification for 5x5 box (4-layer) bottom topography control
55    
56    checkpoint58g_post
57    o pkg/diagnostics: implement "periodic averaging diagnostics" (e.g.,
58       used for mean seasonal cycle, mean diurnal cycle); add an example
59       in verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.thsice/data.diagnostics
60    o pkg/ggl90:
61      - add parameter (minimum surface kinetic energy)
62      - fix bug (avoiding division by zero)
63    o couple pkg/thsice to pkg/seaice:
64      - modify advection in seaice to accomodate new scalar fields to be advected
65      - only muliDimAdection scheme work with seaice/thsice
66      - mapping of thsice-variables to seaice-variables, back and forth
67      - does not break the verification experiments, but does not give the
68        desired results either
69    o pkg/seaice
70      - make (default) second order advection a bit less confusing?
71    
72    checkpoint58f_post
73    o couple pkg/thsice and pkg/exf (as a preparation for coupling pkg/thsice
74      to pkg/seaice):
75      - new routines thsice_map_exf and thsice_get_exf provide the interface
76      - add an additional formal parameter to thsice_solve4temp
77    o pkg/exf:
78      - add new fields wspeed, snowprecip (to be able to couple to thsice)
79      - correct Stefan-Boltzmann constant
80      - new parameter for longwave surface emittance
81      - separate some stuff from exf_bulkformulae into new routines  
82        exf_radiation, exf_wind
83      - add new parameters and constants: longwave emissivity for ocean, ice
84        and snow, evaporation parameters over ice
85      - decouple wind/stress computation from ALLOW_BULKFORMULA: always compute
86        either wind from stress or stress from wind
87    o pkg/thSIce:
88    - split thsice_step_fwd.F in 2 S/R: thsice_step_temp.F & thsice_step_fwd.F
89    - put i,j loops inside S/R: THSICE_ALBEDO, THSICE_SOLVE4TEMP, THSICE_EXTEND
90       and THSICE_CALC_THICKN
91    - for now, call to THSICE_GET_BULKF remains inside i,j loops.
92    - add CPP option: ALLOW_DBUG_THSICE and header file THSICE_DEBUG.h
93      to make debugging easier.
94    - affects results (@ truncation level) of global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice: update output
95    o pkg/bulk_force:
96      - clean-up comments and parameters ;
97      - add new Bulk-Formulae from Large and Yeager, 2004, NCAR/TN-460+STR ;
98    o fix bug in aim+thsice albedo: snow & ice thickness arguments were switched;
99      generate new output for test-experiment: aim.5l_cs.thSI
100    o results_ad : rename "output.txt_adm" to "output_adm.txt" and change
101      testreport accordingly
102    
103    checkpoint58e_post
104    o SEAICE_CGRID adjoint done
105    o R_STAR adjoint implemented.
106      * Seems to just work (based on global_ocean.90x40x15/code_ad_nlfs/ )
107      * need to sort out init. of h0facc, etc.
108    o Make pkg/profile fully independent of ecco,cost, etc. stuff
109      to be able to use it in pure forward.
110    
111    checkpoint58d_post
112    o upgrade simple test-experiment to tutorial example:
113     step.1: duplicate the experiment and (step.2) will remove the old copy.
114      tutorial_barotropic_gyre      <- copy of exp0     (R1:barotropic_gyre_in_a_box)
115      tutorial_baroclinic_gyre      <- copy of exp1     (R1:baroclinic_gyre_on_a_sphere)
116      tutorial_global_oce_latlon    <- empty for now    (R1:global_ocean_circulation)
117      tutorial_global_oce_biogeo    <- copy of dic_example
118      tutorial_deep_convection      <- almost like exp5 (R1:nonhydrostatic_deep_convection)
119      tutorial_plume_on_slope       <- copy of plume_on_slope
120      tutorial_tracer_adjsens       <- copy of carbon   (R1:tracer_adjoint_sensitivity)
121      tutorial_global_oce_optim     <- empty for now (David ?)
122      tutorial_global_oce_in_p      <- copy of global_ocean_pressure
123     some tutorials (R1) were already checked-in under tutorial_examples in release1_branch
124    o correct a sign problem in cost_scat.F
125    o obcs and ptracers: fix boundary conditions for advections schemes
126      with larger stencil
127    o thsice adjoint: start
128    o mom_vecinv: add ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING flags to mom_vi_hdissip for
129      completeness
130    o mom_fluxform: fixing the mutual use of ISOTROPIC_COS_SCALING
131      and COSINEMETH_III, add comments in default CPP_OPTIONS.h
132    o ptracers adjoint:
133      * avoid extensive recomputatations
134      * fix missing re-init. of gptr (missed by TAF)
135    o obcs: add a flag (OBCSprintDiags, defaults is true) that allows
136      me to turn off the excessive output to STDOUT that this package produces
137    o move NH metric terms & 3.D Coriolis S/R to pkg/mom_common
138      and add those terms in Vector-Invariant formulation.
139    o in ctrl pkg, if ALLOW_CAL, use monthly mean controls
140      if the control period (xx_hfluxperiod etc) is 0
141    o in profiles pkg, clean routines and fix details
142    o in ecco pkg, reading ssh data:
143      fix problem in case the model does not start at iter0=0
144    o fix mnc-pickup/restart for ptracers
145    o new package prifiles:
146      code to compute profile-based cost by Gael Forget
147      (modifs in ecco, ctrl, autodiff)
148    o Benign bug fix in initialization (spotted by M. Mazloff) of
149      ctrl_set_globfld_xz.F ctrl_set_globfld_yz.F
150    
151    checkpoint58c_post
152    o adjoint: finish NLFS adjoint and provide reference output in
153      verification/global_ocean.90x40x15/results_ad_nlfs
154    o seaice: add an EVP solver following Hunke and Dukowicz (1997) and the
155      documentation of CICE. Turn on by defining SEAICE_ALLOW_EVP in
156      SEAICE_OPTIONS.h and SEAICEuseEVP=.true. in data.seaice. Works only
157      with SEAICE_CGRID defined.
158    o move calendarDumps from "data" to "data.cal" and clean-up the code
159      with a simple call to pkg/cal S/R: CAL_TIME2WRITE
160    o add useEXF & useCAL flags (for now, set in hard-coded way)
161    o add S/R to compute NH-metrics terms & Coriolis f' in vertical momentum
162      (were missing in NH mode, and wrong in quasihydrostatic mode).
163      waiting for Chris updated version of calc_gw to add those CALLs.
164    o fix bug in quasihydrostatic S/R ;
165      add a test for this option: global_ocean.90x40x15.qshyd
166    o new S/R "SET_PARMS": set parameters that might depend on the use of some pkgs.
167      (called from INITIALISE_FIXED, after INI_PARMS & PACKAGES_READPARAMS)
168    o add on/off flag useOffLine for package OFFLINE
169    o seaice:
170      - modify advection so that it works also on the C-grid
171      - extend loop ranges in seaice_lsr and seaice_dynsolver; fixes
172        problem in multi-tile runs with C-grid
173      - add flags for clipping ice velocities and/or masking solver forcing
174      - fix drag (ocean on ice) formulation and a bug that caused noise in the
175        C-grid solver
176      - added a few comments to seaice_diffusion.F
177      - separate C-grid and B-grid versions more cleanly (UVM and seaiceMaskU/V
178        are now exclusive)
179      - add a new ocean-ice stress coupling method (Hibler and Bryan, 1987) which
180        required re-ordering the code a little:
181       + make DAIRN global variable (defined in SEAICE)
182       + move computation of the viscosities eta and zeta into a new separate
183         routine (because I need to recompute them in seaice_ocean_stress.F)
184    
185    checkpoint58b_post
186    o AIM+thSIce: fix sign of Short-Wave through the Ice ;
187      update output.txt of exp. aim.5l_cs.thSI
188    o various mnc cleanups and improvements:
189      + shrink lookup tables by factor of ~4
190      + better error reporting when running out of lookup space
191      + able to handle longer path/file names (up to 500 chars)
192    o adjoint:
193      - Another overhaul of store dirs. for NLFS to eliminate  "hidden" recomputations.
194      - TBD: "hidden" mom_vecinv recomp. in dynamics
195    o change forcing_In_AB to affects both T,S forcing and Momentum forcing
196     (allow to differentiate between forcing components using new integer flags:
197      momForcingOutAB=1/0 & tracForcingOutAB=1/0)
198     and add new flag to put Dissipation tendency out of Adams-Bashforth.
199    o ecco
200      - enable trend removal from SSH anomaly obs.
201    o adjoint
202      - a fix for PmEpR when #undef EXACT_CONSERV
203      - fix of "hidden" recomp. in thermodynamics (no TAF warnings)
204      - try to fix "hidden" recomp. in forward_step for NLFS
205        (NLFS seems broken sometimes after I checked it in)
206    o seaice:
207     - add c-grid version of the dynamic solver:
208       + three new routines that are the c-grid substitute lsr, dynsolver
209         and ostres
210       + put a few fields that were local to dynsolver into global common
211         blocks, so that I can move the computation of stresses etc into
212         seaice_lsr (saves coding but may break the adjoint).
213     - replace more hardwired parameters by runtime parameters
214     - add ice masks that mask the rhs of the implicit solvers where there
215       is no ice (commented out in seaice_dynsolver, because i am not sure
216       if this works properly), eventually this should replace the clipping
217       of ice velocities in seaice_dynsolver to +/-40cm/s.
218    o remove the BUILD_INFO.h include from CPP_EEOPTIONS.h and explicitly
219      include it only where its needed
220    o move balancing of fluxes before the call of external_forcing_surf
221    o seaice:
222      - correct units of turning angles (now they are really in degrees)
223      - move computation of GWATX/Y out of main routine into dynsolver
224      - initialize GWATX/Y in seaice_init
225    o Apply mask on Fresh-Water flux (needed for SSH forcing).
226      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean_ebm & cpl_aim+ocn (affects cg2d residual)
227    o seaice: add runtime flags for turning angles (default to zero)
228    o Adding runtime parameter to exf/, ctrl/, to remove on-the-fly global mean
229      and trend from exf forcing and ctrl control adjustments
230    o fix variable aliasing in gad_calc_rhs that cannot be handled by TAF
231      (since checkpoint57x_post)
232    o change the default rotation period to 86164.s = the Earth rotation
233    o 1rst implementation of Implicit IGW using the 3-D solver (use3Dsolver=T)
234      and based on a reference stratification. Tested within hs94.cs-32x32x5.
235    o seaice advection: add code for choosing between the default (2nd order
236      central differences) and multiDim advection schemes provided by
237      pkg/generic_advdiff
238    o seaice:
239      - removed all references to SEAICE_GRID.h fields from
240        dynsolver, advect, diffus, lsr, without changing the results of lab_sea
241        (cubed-sphere configuration will change a little)
242      - grid computations in seaice_init are obsolete now.
243      - cleaned up code a little so that is easier to read (hopefully).
244      - added new (better?) discretizations of default advection and diffusion
245        (turn on with SEAICEuseFluxForm)
246      - replace 1 in 3d global fields by kSurface in growth.F
247      
248    checkpoint58a_post
249    o seaice:
250      - bug fix in advect.F
251    o shelfice:
252      - separate shelfice load anomaly from pload (breaks with time
253        dependent forcing), => introduce constant field shelficeLoadAnomaly.
254        Its default is 0., but it may be computed more cleverly from (unknown)
255        t- and s-profiles (tRef, sRef) and actual EOS. For now this has to be
256        done offline. A good approximation of the pressure load anomaly is
257        necessary to avoid large initial adjustment processes underneath
258        deep-reaching shelfice.
259      - small fix in ISOMIP shelfice_thermodynamics
260      - add more sophisticated thermodynamics of Hellmer (1989), this is
261        now the default
262      - give a few constants more intuitive names
263    o add code to balance EmPmP and Qnet at the end of do_ocean_physics. Useful
264      if bulk formulae are used in long integration (especially EmPmR). Turn
265      on with balanceEmPmR = .true. or balanceQnet = .true. in data, PARM01
266      if balancePrintMean, the imbalance that is substracted is printed to
267      STDOUT.
268    o fix bug (typo) in obcs_apply_eta.F
269    o add a new package shelfice which enables us to model the circulation
270      underneath shelf-ice with draughts of hundreds of meters.
271     - works
272     - to do: + include improved thermodynamics
273              + check whether kSurfC (from model/inc/SURFACE.h) can be used
274                instead of new field kTopC
275              + can we use topoFile, Ro_surf and existing code in ini_depth.F
276                instead of new field R_shelfIce and new code in ini_depth.F
277                and ini_mask_etc.F?
278              + adjust vertical mixing schemes?
279    o seaice pkg:
280     - add a cpp-flag to include a simple formula for a salinity dependent
281       freezing point of sea water at the surface
282     - change the contents of SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 so that zonal and
283       meridional stresses are now different (and hopefully correct)
284    o AIM pkg: change threshold on large-scale condensation to conserve Heat.
285       update results of aim.5l_LatLon test ; fix title & units of AIM diagnostics
286       and  change 3 diagnostics names (OSR,OSRCLR,KM -> TSR,TSRCLR,DRAG)
287    o pkg/diagnostics: add options and parameters for regional-statistics
288       diagnostics ; define regions by reading a region-mask from a file
289       (might add other options later)
290    o pkg/bulk_force:
291     - add option and parameters to use AIM surface-flux formulae.
292     - Change loading part: S/R BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD only take care of bulkf_fields ;
293       others forcing fields (defined in PARM05, parameter file "data") are loaded
294       from S/R EXTERNAL_FIELDS_LOAD, as usually (with useBulkforce = T or F).
295     - initialise all bulkf_fields in bulkf_init.F ; do in-lining of exf_bulkcdn.F
296     - use the right EXCH call for uwind,vwind (to work on CS-grid).
297     - re-arrange header files (move parameters from BULKF.h to BULKF_PARAMS.h)
298       and parameters (note: calcWindStress replaces .NOT.readwindstress).
299     - cleaner interface with pkg/thSIce (new S/R THSICE_GET_PRECIP).
300    
301    checkpoint58
302    o add "--embed-source" option to genmake2 which, when the supporting
303      tools can be compiled (as determined by genmake2) will turn on the
304      embed_files package which then embeds the entire MITgcm source code
305      (*.[fFhc] + Makefile) used for the build within the executable
306      - requested by CNH but off by default
307      - adds a paltry <9MB to the mitgcmuv executable in most cases
308      - only writes the output when useEMBEDSRC in eedata is true
309    o clean up 3-dim. relaxation codes:
310      * Fix I/O inconsistency in pkg/rbcs: replace precFloat32 by readBinaryPrec
311      * Remove 3-dim. relaxation code from pkg/exf (now use only pkg/rbcs)
312      * Thanks to Tom Haine for testing!
313    
314    checkpoint57z_post
315    o make CG3D solver compatible with Free-surface at k > 1 (p-coordinate):
316      affects output (@ truncation level) of exp. plume_on_slope ; updated.
317    o fix the pickup behavior for obcs in combination with ptracers
318    o fix a bug in ptracers_external_fields_load
319    o no AB-2 at the first iteration for Gw (consistent with Gu,Gv,Gt,Gs ...)
320      affects results of NH experiments (but all our NH tests have Gw[it=1]==0 !!)
321    o transfered surface NH pressure to eta field (if exactConserv).
322    o gmredi: fix bugs in slope tapering ldd97 (depthZ had the wrong sign)
323         and update lab_sea output.txt file.
324    o completing 3-dim. relaxation code: additional term
325         1/tau*( theta(i,j,k) - thetaStar(i,j,k) )
326      in S/R EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (file external_forcing.F)
327      * At compile time, in "EXF_OPTIONS.h" set
328          #define  ALLOW_CLIMTEMP_RELAXATION
329          #define  ALLOW_CLIMSALT_RELAXATION
330      * At runtime in "data", under &PARM03 set (e.g., units in seconds)
331          tauThetaClimRelax3Dim = 15552000.0,
332          tauSaltClimRelax3Dim  = 15552000.0,
333      * 3 cases:
334          1) Use a constant-in-time 3-dim. field
335          2) Provide 12 3-dim. fields corresponding to Jan., ... , Dec.
336          3) Real-time relax. to time-evolving prescribed field
337    o Adding Laplacian-type smoothness constraint on
338      initial and boundary (forcing) controls (ic, bc)
339      * enable at compile-time via
340        ALLOW_SMOOTH_IC_COST_CONTRIBUTION, ALLOW_SMOOTH_BC_COST_CONTRIBUTION
341      * enable at run-time via mult_smooth_ic = 1, mult_smooth_bc = 1
342      * Absolute scale somewhat unclear so far
343      * no area weighting was included since no other cost term does so far
344    
345    checkpoint57y_post
346    First step for a NLFS adjoint
347    o initially suppress rStar (new flag DISABLE_RSTAR_CODE)
348    o new init. routines for calc_r_star, calc_surf_dr
349    o still need to deal with ini_masks_etc
350    o testreport seemed happy
351    checkpoint57y_pre
352    
353    o obcs: always reset wVel & eta (to zero or prescribe it) at the OBs.
354    o add new package rbcs (for relaxing ptracers at boundaries/depth/surface etc)
355    o add new offset feature to offline pkg (plus minor cleanup)
356    o cfc fixes for final year of integration
357    o clean up GCHEM_OPTIONS.h/DIC_OPTIONS.h (all options should
358      be in GCHEM_OPTIONS).
359    
360    checkpoint57x_post
361    o fix testreport Pb in multiple test experiment.
362    o cleanup our namelist syntax in verification:
363      - make it more F95 standards compliant (some work still needed)
364      - allows the vast majority of our tests to work with gfortran
365    o Non-Hydrostatic:
366     - put all NH variables (formerly in DYNVARS.h & GW.h) in NH_VARS.h
367     - fix exchange calls for CS-grid using the new EXCH_S3D_RL.
368    o Allow to apply AB on T,S rather than on AB(gT,gS):
369     - implemented within #ifdef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3
370     - use the same arrays (gtNm,gsNm) to hold tracer field at previous
371       time-steps (if AB(T,S)) and tendencies (if AB(gT,gS)).
372     - need a "clever" read_pickup to restart from the other AB formulation
373    o move local commom bloc /GlobalLo/ (used for singleCpuIO) in EESUPPORT.h
374    o remove some unused variables (reduces number of compiler warnings)
375    o adjoint
376      * Disable useVariableViscosity for adjoint for time being
377        (there are a number of extensive recomputations)
378      * Initialize certain variables needed for adjoint
379    
380    checkpoint57w_post
381    o pkg/mdsio: use MAX_LEN_FNAM (instead of hard coded 80) for file-names
382                 fix the singleCpuIO RS version of MDSWRITEFIELD
383       and add a WARNING if using globalFiles=T with multi-processors.
384    o write grid-file(s) in only one format (MDS or MNC): default=MNC (if
385      using MNC); can force MDS output by setting writegrid_mnc=F in data.mnc
386    o tracer advection scheme:
387      add DST-2 (=Lax-Wendroff) & 1rst order upwind schemes (the way to get
388       those 2 schemes before, changing GAD_FLUX_LIMITER.h + to recompile,
389       was not very convenient).
390      add implicit version for DST-3 & DST3_Flux_Limit vertical advection;  
391       (further tests needed for the implicit DST & Flux-Limiter schemes).
392    o PTRACERS: added namelist parameter PTRACERS_ref in analogy to tRef
393      and sRef for convenience, handy, when you want to initialize
394      ptracers in a large domain with a constant non-zero value. Also,
395      untangle ptracers_init.F a little.
396    
397    checkpoint57v_post
398    o change dome exp. to use variable viscosity in side-drag terms.
399    o remove all the files from the cfc_offline test since they are now
400      incorporated into tutorial_cfc_offline which has been producing
401      identical results for a few days of testing
402    o add new parameter: sideDragFactor to enable half-slip-side BC
403      and change side-drag S/R to use viscosity from mom_calc_visc
404      (can switch back by setting sideDragFactor=0.); affects results at
405      truncation level; regenerate output for exp.: global_ocean.cs32x10(x3),
406       global_ocean_ebm, global_ocean_pressure, matrix_example & MLAdjust(x5).
407    o vorticity & strain are now computed without masking, to account for
408      no-slip-side BC in variable viscosity calculation ; mask is applied
409      anyway later on, before computing advection/coriolis terms.
410    o modify exp4 to test new obcs support for reading from external files
411      and for passive tracers
412    o fix behavior of ptracers_monitor when monitor output is written to a
413      netcdf-file; still not independent of monitor.F (writes in the same
414      file).
415    o change default value of tRef (put a uniform, meaningful value for ocean
416      & atmos) and initialize sRef (was missing, as Martin mentioned).
417    o Redefine viscC?Leith*.  Change the coefficients of Leith viscosity
418      to be proportional to enstrophy dissipation length.  Thus,
419       viscC?leith?_new=pi*(viscC?leith?_old)^(1/3)
420      This is now consistent with Smagorinsky and with the manual.
421    
422    checkpoint57u_post
423    o OBCS and PTRACERS: add open boundary support for passive tracers
424      - either use homogenous (pseudo) v.Neumann conditions or prescribe
425        OB-values from file; this is not different from the way theta and salinity
426        are treated
427      - however, Orlanski-radiation conditions are not supported, and the model
428        will stop if you use pTracers and Orlanski at the same time.
429      - beefed up the rountine obcs_external_fields_load: now only those open
430        boundary values are overwritten with values from files for which there
431        are really files, otherwise the OB-fields remain untouched. This makes
432        it possible to use different OBs at different ends of the domain (as
433        with EXF)
434    o reduce number of exch calls in shap_filt (s2).
435    o CS-grid: fix divergence contribution to Leith viscosity. Affects (@
436      truncation level) 4/5 MLAdjust test results (11&12 digits match).
437    
438    checkpoint57t_post
439    o test biharmonic viscosity + no-slip with exp: global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
440    o finish adding brackets (coriolis S/R, vecinv) in multi-terms sum to get
441      same truncation, independent of the face number: affects affects several
442      test. exp.: Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
443    o fix bug in mom_v_sidedrag (biharmonic viscosity was counted 2 times);
444      note that biharmonic viscosity + no-slip was not tested in any experiment.
445    o fix bug in non-linear free-surf side-drag ; generate new output for
446      global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & global_ocean_pressure.
447    o make mnc honor the writeBinaryPrec flag for most kinds of output
448    o eesupp: split EEPARAMS into EESIZE/EEPARAMS and add a vector global sum
449    o minor change in averaging W (mom_vi_?_vertshear.F) that affects truncation
450      error; update output from global_ocean.cs32x15(+.thsice) & MLAdjust (all 5).
451    o add brackets in multi-terms sum to get same truncation, independent of
452      the face number (manage to get exactly same value of gU,gV at the cs-edge)
453      affects several test. exp. Update global_ocean.cs32x15 (+.thsice).
454    o Clean, new version of mom_calc_visc.  Adds a new feature, viscAhRemax
455      and viscA4Remax, which allow one to limit the minimum viscosity by specifying
456      a maximum grid-scale Reynolds number.  Also, changes all length calculations
457      in the case of grid anisotropy to geometric mean of dx**2 and dy**2.
458      Suggested values of viscosity parameters found in mom_calc_visc.
459      Many new viscosity diagnostics available.
460    
461    checkpoint57s_post
462    o Add clearing-house for viscosity calculations, mom_calc_visc and
463      correct numerous bugs in LeithD and Smagorinsky discretizations.  
464      mom_calc_visc now allows for Smagorinsky, Leith and LeithD to be
465      used simultaneously, and to be used in mom_vecinv and mom_fluxform.
466      Mom_vecinv can be used with standard viscous calculation (mom_vi_hdissip.F)
467      and with Strain-Tension viscous term calculation (mom_hdissip.F).  
468      The Strain-Tension form is now called with useStrainTensonVisc=.true.
469      ViscAhStrain and viscAhTension are now retired.
470    o diagnostics "VISCAHD" & "VISCA4D" replace "VISCAH" & "VISCA4".
471    o In response to JMC's bug report, genmake2 now ignores any soft-links
472      that it finds in the *current* directory when searching for files.
473      Soft-links found in any other source directories will still work as
474      they did before.
475    o add HAVE_SETRLSTK define and useSETRLSTK flag (eedata) which calls
476      a C routine to unlimit the stack size
477    o mnc-ify pkg/aim snapshot vars
478    o mnc-ify pkg/land as requested by Daniel
479    o various changes to mnc including:
480      - all files use the new "BASENAME[[.ITER].{t|f}NUM].nc" format
481      - output can now be grouped so that all files within a group
482          change the ITER portion of their names in lock-step together
483      - can now read ("global") PER-FACE (in addition to PER-TILE) files
484          and works with both EXCH1 and EXCH2 (but needs more testing)
485      - writing works for all verification test cases w/ g77 on Linux
486    
487    checkpoint57r_post
488    o make MNC variable initialization happen earlier
489    o add diagnostics for (almost) each term of the momentum Eq.
490    o remove SST,SSS,UVEL_k2,VVEL_k2 diagnostics.
491    o move pkg timeave out of pkg-groups "oceanic" & "atmospheric" (pkg/pkg_groups)
492    o remove MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT option ;
493      add "dumpInitAndLast" to replace "nodumps" (and MINIMAL_TAVE_OUTPUT).
494    o move some basic S/R (used elsewhere in the code) from pkg/mdsio to eesupp/src
495      allows to compile without pkg/mdsio (& test successfully hs94.1x64x5)
496    o add MNC output for adjoint of EXF (adexf), SEAICE (adseaice)
497    o add time-dependent SST, SSS control
498    o cost terms in ecco/ modularized (new cost_generic.F)
499    o cost_averages routines are modularized (new cost_averagesgeneric.F)
500    o new infrastructure for seaice model vs. obs misfits in seaice/
501      * driver from the_main_loop.F is seaice_cost_driver.F
502      * first term is AREA vs. SMR observation misfit (ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA)
503      * gradient check in Exp. 6a of natl_box_adjoint/
504    o natl_box_adjoint input_seaice for Lab. Sea now available online via wget
505      (see README file)
506    
507    checkpoint57q_post
508    o fix initialisation Pb in calc_gw (get NANs in exp5 with g77)
509    o fix annoying months-old bug in mnc/mdsio output for seaice pkg
510      - bug was reported by Jean-Michel and Ian Fenty
511    o fix initialization Pb in AIM-Ocean coupled model (aim_sice2aim.F)
512      update exp. cpl_aim+ocn output.
513    o Implement 4-level checkpointing: AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
514      Needed for high-res. runs with large global files
515      to be able to limit tapelev size
516    o Changed some tests for adjoint:
517      * carbon/ now tests AUTODIFF_2_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
518      * natl_box_adjoint/code_bulk/ tests AUTODIFF_4_LEVEL_CHECKPOINT
519      * global_ocean.90x40x15/ back to default 3-level checkpointing
520    o Modifications to enable scripted COMMON to MODULE conversion
521      * verification/OpenAD/code/ has necessary scripts and description;
522      * converts, compiles and runs successfully;
523    
524    checkpoint57p_post
525    o reading of delXfile & delYfile moved from ini_parms.F to ini_grid.F
526    o move ${PKG}_MNC_INIT from ${PKG}_READ_PARAMS to ${PKG}_INIT_FIXED
527      (already the case for some pkgs, including recent MNC_init, e.g. thsice)
528    o call CALC_GW from DYNAMICS (instead of from FORWARD_STEP)
529    o Dissipation & phiHyd gradient are always added to gU,gV in timestep.F
530      (was already the case for dissipation with mom_vecinv,
531       and also the case for grad.PhiHyd when staggered-timeStep)
532      This will allow to put dissipation out-off the AB time-stepping.
533     Unfortunately, affects truncation error. Update output of exp. that "fails"
534      (cg2d matching number) and leave the others for later: front_relax(10),
535      global_ocean_pressure(10),ideal_2D_oce(10),internal_wave(9),lab_sea(12),
536      matrix_example(7!),natl_box(12),plume_on_slope(11),vermix(12x3,11x2).
537    
538    checkpoint57o_post
539    o fix MNC/MDSIO flags in PTRACERS so that (1) it works, and
540      (2) its ready to be documented during the 20050801 DocFest
541    o MNC-ify the gmredi package -- tested and works w/ and w/o mnc
542      for ideal_2D_oce and lab_sea on linux_ia32_g77
543    o set to #undef CTRL_SET_OLD_MAXCVARS_30
544      in global1x1_tot/code_seaice_adj to access indices 32, 33
545      (worth another tag)
546    
547    checkpoint57n_post
548    o adding precip control xx_precip 32
549    o adding swflux control xx_swflux 33
550    o Replacing 10 forcing penalty cost routines by 1 generic.
551    o Implementing partitioning in time-mean and variable adjustment
552      for atmos. state.
553    o Time-mean constant error is now read in data.ecco (instead of hard-coded)
554    o in natl_box_adjoint:
555      * updated exp 1 to 10
556        (but does not have time-mean vs. variable split results yet)
557    o updated global1x1/*_seaice_adj/
558      to incorporate latest changes
559    o enable useSingleCpuIO for mdsio vector routines
560      (applies in particular to tapelev I/O)
561    o removed inefficient K-loop in all active_file*control*.F
562    
563    checkpoint57m_post
564    o re-arrange exp. adjustment.cs-32x32x1 (adjust_nlfs.cs-32x32x1 merge into)
565      and advect_cs (use EXCH-2 and standard cs-32 grid files).
566    o pkg/exch2: filling of face-corner halo regions is optional
567      (ifdef W2_FILL_NULL_REGIONS) and is turned off by default.
568    
569    checkpoint57l_post
570     tag before updating tutorials (pre-release-2)
571    o add cos & sin of grid-direction orientation angle (curvilinear grid only,
572       for output and interpolation of input fields onto model grid)
573    o fix radius in mom_v_metric_cylinder.F (wrong by dy/2).
574       Affects results of exp. rotating_tank ; update output.txt.
575    o pkg/diagnostics: 2 new S/R to fill a diagnostics using a scaling factor
576          and taking the square quantity and/or using a fraction-weight field.
577    o fix aim_diagnostics_init.F mate numbers.
578    o add mnc output capability to diagnostics/diagstat and update
579      our cvsignore files for the ACSII output generated
580    
581    checkpoint57k_post
582    o lab_sea now uses diagnostics package and provides a suite of
583      new EXF diagnostics output.
584    
585    checkpoint57j_post
586    o exf
587      * bug fix in exf_bulkformulae for psimh (spotted by Eliyahu Biton):
588        Bracket missing in eqn. for psimh (eqn. 7 of Large & Pond, 1982);
589        terms -2*ATAN(x) + pi/2 were added to both stable and unstable case.
590      * extended diagnostics output
591        - now includes all EXF variables
592        - hs, hl moved to common block
593        - separate S/R for diagnostics, called after ctrl vector is added
594        - name changed for EXFsw -> EXFswnet, EXFlw -> EXFlwnet
595        - EXFqnet contains true Qnet (i.e. includes qsw)
596      * updated verif. lab_sea, global_with_exf
597      * Rearranging hflux (exf_mapfields -> exf_getforcing)
598        to ensure that diagnostics sees a true EXFqnet
599    o add matlab scripts for CS-grid vectors (in utils/cs_grid)
600    o diagnostics pkg: change pointers so that 1 diagnostic can be used
601      several times with different frequencies.
602    o mnc-ify the thsice package as requested by Daniel Enderton
603      - the monitor--MNC output needs work
604      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
605    o mnc-ify theaim_v23 package as requested by Daniel Enderton
606      - many attributes need to be added (most are currently blank)
607    o remove "groundAtK1" & "rkFac" (replaced by usingPCoords & -rkSign)
608    o add Sadourny like discretization to the 4th.O vorticity advection scheme
609    o fix bug in rStar code (calc_r_star.F) when used with topo/bathy.
610      update output.txt from: aim.5l_cs (& .thSI), cpl_aim+ocn,
611         fizhi-gridalt-hs and global_ocean.cs32x15 (& .thsice).
612    o fix few little things to avoid floating error with -ftrapuv (ifort v9)
613     (ini_spherical_polar_grid.F, calc_r_star.F, monitor/mon_surfcor.F)
614    
615    checkpoint57i_post
616    o Diagnostics package was changed: diagnostic allocation is now deactivated
617      by setting an empty file name in the namelist (used to be by setting 0 frequency)
618    o momentum advection (VI form) options: activate 4th.O vorticity Coriolis ;
619      add 1rst Order upwind vertical Shear.
620    o add a quick fix for A/B checkpointing in OFFLINE mode
621    o add IGNORE_TIME define and -ignore_time option to genmake2 as an
622      end-run around the C/Fortran linking horror in eesup/src/timers.F
623    o added pkg/runclock: allows user to terminate run based on wall clock
624    o added non-hydrostatic scaling parameter: nh_am2
625    o pkg/my82: futile attempt to make results compiler-independent by adding
626      some "_d 0", etc. no effect.
627    o for mnc output, fill the 'T' coordinate var with myTime and create a
628      separate 'iter' variable for iteration count
629    o pkg/diagnostics:
630      add new capability: output of Global/Regional & per-level statistics ;
631      tested against monitor output (including land & thSIce) on various exp.
632    o make seaice-pkg I/O type flags (MNC/MDS) more standard.
633    
634    checkpoint57h_done
635      tag after changing user customized files (DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h,
636      data.diagnostics, data.gchem, data.ptracers) is done.
637    
638    o pkg/diagnostics: prepare for Global/Regional statistics.
639      add 2nd namelist in data.diagnostics and update DIAGNOSTICS_SIZE.h
640    o remove "baseTime" (no used) from arg. list of DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE
641      and rename it: DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE
642    
643    checkpoint57h_post
644    o move tIter0 from data.gchem to PTRACERS_Iter0 in data.ptracers
645    o pkg/diagnostics: change output frequency, now in seconds (instead
646      of Nb of iterations). This requires to change data.diagnostics.
647    checkpoint57h_pre
648    
649    o in mnc, let the user create the output dir if both mnc_outdir_date
650      and mnc_outdir_num are false
651    o add fflags() to pkg/diagnostics which allows one to specify, on a
652      per-file basis, the file precision [default behavior is unchanged]
653    o added diagnostics to pkg/kpp, including computation of mixed layer
654      depth based on a temperature/density criterion
655    o updated verification/natl_box to test the new pkg/kpp diagnostics
656    o bugs fixed (with useAbsVorticity=T & with useJamartMomAdv=T)
657    o test AB-3 code with 4th.Order advection scheme (advect_xy/input.ab3_c4)
658    o fix mnc flags in pkg/seaice so that they are "owned" by seaice,
659      not mnc -- this mistake was found by JMC and is now corrected
660    
661    checkpoint57g_post
662    o add Adams-Bashforth 3rd Order time stepping:
663      - default remains AB-2 (#undef ALLOW_ADAMSBASHFORTH_3)
664      - not yet implemented with NH, CD_Scheme, pTracers, MNC_pickup ...
665    checkpoint57g_pre
666    
667    o make lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax spatially varying
668      (default remains spatially uniform constant based on tau)
669    o added new control variables
670      * init. uVel, vVel, etanN
671      * lambda[Theta,Salt]ClimRelax
672    o separate masks used for ctrl_pack/unpack 'from write_grid' output
673      (suggested by G. Forget)
674    
675    checkpoint57f_post
676    o add parameter "baseTime" = model base time = time at iteration zero
677      new function DIFF_BASE_MULTIPLE (replace DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE) to
678      account for baseTime shift
679    o move Coriolis arrays from PARAMS.h to GRID.h
680    checkpoint57f_pre
681    
682    o mnc-ifying the seaice package
683    o introduced an alternative length scale calculation for use in the limiting
684      maximum viscosity (off by default, see mom_vi_hdissip.F for details)
685    o S/R ptracers_calc_diff: argument list bug for CALL KPP_CALC_DIFF_S
686    o added modified Leith scheme with viscosity proportional to grad(Hdiv)
687      as well as grad(vort3).  Made it compatible with both approximate form
688      for the cubed sphere and full form of these gradients.  Added flag
689      useFullLeith to select between approximate and full form.  
690    o add "d0" in getcon.F to reduce differences between compilers/platforms
691      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
692    o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
693    o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
694      - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the
695        new version is now more standards-compliant
696    o adjoint-related modifications
697      * gad_dst3_adv_?: to be able to use advscheme=30 in adjoint
698      * gad_calc_rhs: fool adjoint, revert to advscheme=30 in reverse when using 33
699      * mom_vi_hdissip: to be able to use Leith scheme in adjoint
700    
701    checkpoint57e_post
702    o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
703    checkpoint57e_pre (actually was tagged: eckpoint57e_pre)
704    
705    o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
706      update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
707    o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
708    o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
709    o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
710      (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
711      KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
712      months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
713    o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
714      - off by default for backwards compatibility
715      - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
716    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
717    o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
718    
719    checkpoint57d_post
720    o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
721    o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc
722      output from the diagnostics package
723    o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
724    o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
725      of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
726    o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
727    o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
728    o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
729      the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC
730    o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
731    o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
732    o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of
733      at the end).
734    o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
735      new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
736    o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
737    o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
738      (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
739      duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
740    
741    checkpoint57c_post
742    o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
743    o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
744    checkpoint57c_pre
745    
746    o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
747      update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
748    o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer
749      results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
750    o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
751    o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
752    o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
753    o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
754      - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
755      - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
756      - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
757        with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that
758        *all* data points are output
759    o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
760    o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
761    o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
762    o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
763    o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
764      fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
765      spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
766      some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
767    o pkg/ctrl/
768      * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
769        May be enabled via doPackDiag
770      *  introduce z-scaling of
771         + gradient (doZscalePack) and
772         + control (doZscaleUnpack)
773    o pkg/mdsio/
774      * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
775      * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
776    
777    checkpoint57b_post
778    o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
779    o fix MNC coordinate variables so that they now contain per-face index
780      values (instead of xC,xG,yC,yG values) when run with EXCH2 since, in
781      general, EXCH2 grids are only aligned to a "local" coordinate system
782    o test diagnostics pkg in dic_example (no output) and ideal_2D_oce (with ouput)
783    o Implement instantaneous output within pkg diagnostics:
784      setting a negative frequency in data.diagnostics produces
785     "snap-shot" output (as opposed to time-average if freq > 0)
786    o move out off EQUIVALENCE all diagnostics that fizhi does not use ;
787      NOTE: change ptracer diagnostics name: use 2 characters to work with
788            more than 9 tracers. Add also diagnostics of advect & diffus flux.
789    o more CF compliance: convert all MNC 'iter' variables to 'T' so that it
790      becomes the coordinate variable for the 'T' dimension
791    o add CF-style coordinate variables to MNC
792      - just a first cut:  numbers are meaningless on the cubesphere and
793        missing along the T axis but otherwise it works!
794    o add surface flux diagnostics: TAUX, TAUY, TFLUX, TRELAX, TICE, SFLUX, SRELAX
795    o pkg/thSIce: read initial state from 6 files ; allow monitor to use MNC.
796    o add diagnostics of advective & diffusive flux for T & S (pTracers coming soon)
797      this is based directly on what the model compute, so that the content of
798      each diagnostics might be affected by switching options (e.g., implicitDiffusion)
799    o small changes for diagnostics (gad_biharm_?.F, arguments of S/R impldiff.F)
800    o clean up build options files for SunOS, in particular
801      - remove -traditional from xmakedepend
802      - change -xarch=v9 to -xarch=native for f77
803      - restore use of make (not gmake)
804      - add CC=gcc if using g77
805    o changes per discussion of AM, JMC, & EH3 today:
806      - move redundant "grid" variables out of "state" -- in preparation of
807        creating proper CF-style coordinate variables and in recognition
808        that any/all grid variables can be easily copied (eg. w/NCO) from
809        the grid files into any of the other NetCDF files
810      - *always* output grid variables with MDSIO (this will eventually be
811        changed)
812      - output MNC grid file if useMNC is true
813    o every instance of _END_MASTER() has been found and replaced with
814      _END_MASTER( myThid ) in order to satisfy certain picky Sun
815      preprocessors
816    o re-arrange diagnostics pkg initialisation:
817     - allow each package to extend the available diagnostics list
818     - add some checking and fix small problems (multi-threaded, ...)
819     - new S/R diagnostics_fill (replace fill_diagnostics):
820       look through the short list of active diag. (instead of the long list)
821       create function DIAGNOSTICS_IS_ON to tell if a diagnostics is active
822    
823    checkpoint57a_post
824    o this set of changes restores TAMC compatibility
825      tested for global_ocean.90x40x15 adjoint on trough
826      (what a pain)
827    
828    checkpoint57a_pre
829    o some modifs in tools/build_options for sunos
830    o call ctrl_pack for ctrl at end for optimcycle=0
831    
832    checkpoint57
833    o add horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity for vertical velocity
834      - new parameter viscA4W (defaults to viscA4)
835      - affects only non-hydrostatic code
836      - to be done: no-slip lateral boundary conditions
837    o switch back to "sflux = sflux - runoff" in exf_getforcing.F
838    o implement Implicit Vertical advection for pTracers
839    o depth convergence accelerator: replace deltaTtracer by dTtracerLev(k)
840      (implemented also for implicit vertical diffusion & advection)
841    o OBCS: extend application of tracer open boundary conditions
842      to a strip beyond the boundary of width Olx/Oly
843    o add call monitor to TAF set of required calls (flow directives)
844      and include in natl_box_adjoint
845    o untangle a few ifdefs related to cost, ctrl, autodiff
846      untangel a few ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION
847    o Apply Cooper & Haines representative estimates also at sub-surface (k=Nr)
848      (theta2, salt2 in ecco_cost_weights)
849    
850    checkpoint56c_post
851    o OBCS as control variables
852      - update ctrl_ad_diff.list, obcs_ad_diff.list
853      - remove balance of obcs controls from default
854      - fix index bug nobcs in ctrl_init
855      - fix dummy fields filen in ctrl_pack
856      - add dummy weights for obcs
857    o lsopt: comment out fort.94 output
858    o optim:
859      - remove unnecessary header files
860      - adjusted namelists
861      - add xerbla.F to Makefile
862    o exf:
863      - multiple modifications of exf_check_range
864      - unit change in exf_init_runoff from [m/year] to [m/s]
865    o mdsio:
866      - i/o-vector change debugLevel from debLevA to debLevB
867    
868    checkpoint56b_post
869    o collect all ptracers output in an new routine (PTRACERS_OUTPUT) that
870      is called from DO_THE_MODEL_IO
871      - rename PTRACERS_STATV_WRITE to PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE
872      - introduce new parameter PTRACERS_dumpFreq (defaults to dumpFreq)
873      - clean up PTRACERS_WRITE_TIMEAVE a little
874    o add another verification experiment that tests both the cfc-pkg and
875      the gchem-pkg with GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING undefined, that is with
876      reactive tendencies treated inline with regular timestepping
877    o testreport previously did a lousy job of comparing small numbers, so
878      we (Ed and Martin) changed the  way the cut-off of 1.e-12 is
879      implemented in the little c-progam tmp_cmpnum.c which is embedded in
880      testreport.
881    o ptracers_monitor: bug fix for MPI
882    
883    checkpoint56a_post
884    o GCHEM: finish reorganizating the package
885      - forward_step calls GCHEM_CALC_TENDENDY, which computes gchemTendency
886        (introduces another 3D-array for each passive tracer, but only if
887        GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING is undefined. For GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING
888        gchemTendency is not needed because the timestep is done separately)
889      - gchemTendency is added to gPtr in GCHEM_ADD_TENDENCY
890      - GCHEM is now---more or less cleanly---separate from PTRACERS
891      - to bo done: handling of surfaceForcingPtr that is needed for KPP not
892        so clear to me how that should be done in a general way.
893    o CFC: improve formatting of output in CFC_ATMOS
894    o PTRACERS:
895      - rename GCHEM_MONITOR to PTRACERS_MONITOR and call it from MONITOR, so
896        that ALL experiments with ptracers enable can be checked. This makes
897        GCHEM_MONITOR obsolete.
898      - include a runtime parameter PTRACERS_monitorFreq that defaults to
899        monitorFreq
900      - set default PTRACERS_write_mdsio to false if PTRACERS_write_mnc is true
901    o add PTRACERS (PTR0[1-5]) to testreport output
902    o exf_check_range:
903      * default changed to .TRUE.
904      * will check values for niter0 if debLevA, every timestep if debLevB
905      * STOP in exf_check_range if 'out of range'
906      * range chosen generous to allow for potential extema
907      TBD: a version with stricter range
908           permitted range would be runtime parameters
909    o GMredi:
910      - fix ldd97 slope limit ; extend valid domain of Psi-Bolus ;
911      - change S/R GRAD_SIGMA to be valid in the overlap on CS-grid.
912      - change the default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h: compile everything except Visbeck
913    o GCHEM:
914      - move call to GCHEM_FORCING_SEP, so that it is now called before
915        the blocking exchanges to avoid computing halos in GCHEM_FORCING_SEP
916      - introduced a useGCHEM runtime flag and applied it everywhere.
917      - renamed PTRACERS_SEPARATE_FORCING to GCHEM_SEPARATE_FORCING;
918        this flag is now only visible within GCHEM-pkg routines.
919      - moved gchem_forcing_int temporarily into ptracers_forcing, this will
920        be replaced by a 3D array that is computed before thermodynamics; for
921        this, the tracer ID iTracer had to be included into the parameter list
922        of ptracers_forcing
923      - set up forward_step to call gchem_forcing, that will replace
924        gchem_forcing_int in ptracers_forcing
925      - cleaning up
926    o small cleaning of exch2: remove files that are also in eesupp/src
927    
928    checkpoint56
929    o AIM: read land-Fraction earlier (from ini-fixed) and monitor land at nIter0
930    o mnc: cleanup "full" files--fixes out-of-memory problem
931    o ECCO-GODAE
932      * model/, pkg/, code/, input/ now complete w.r.t. ECCO-GODAE production setup
933      * fully merged and updated from SIO code
934        windstress sign change affects
935        - exf_inscal_[u/v]stress
936        - sign of xx_tau[u/v] adjustments
937        - signs in cost_scat
938      * ctrl_get_gen: avoid update of tau[u/v] for first few days
939      * natl_box_adjoint updated and compressed
940      * 2-level checkpoint switch added
941        (tested in EXP. 1 of natl_box_adjoint)
942      * new switch doInitXX to avoid init. of xx_... in optimcycle=0
943    o SVD
944      * first complete, non-hacked version for SVD calculations
945      * all interfaces clean w.r.t to handling of xx_..., adxx_..., g_xx_...
946        performed via direct access files admtlm_vector.it????
947        (via ctrl_[un]pack)
948      * optimcycle is used for ARPACK iteration counter
949        (note: adxx_... is iterated, rather than xx_...; latter is constant!)
950      * EV problem ok w.r.t. L2-norm in tangent space; need to check other norms
951        and add linear transforms where necessary
952      * controls are initial/final SST, SSS (can be extended; need to check
953        ctrl_set_[un]pack_xyz.F according to ctrl_set_[un]pack_xy.F
954    o mdsio: filename info to both stderr, stdout
955    o exf: exf_inscal_runoff: separated default conversion [m/year] -> [m/sec]
956      from sign change
957    
958    checkpoint55j_post
959    o isolate dissipation tendency (allow to keep it out off AB) in V.I form.
960      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
961    o add consistent build directories and .cvsignore files to verification
962    o added viscA4GridMin and viscA4GridMax for more control on biharmonic viscosity
963    o make all subroutines 30 or less characters in length for certain older
964      compilers to work (a thorough search only turns up two routines in
965      pkg/ptracers)
966    o allow (vecinv only) a different horiz. viscosity for Divergence and Vorticity;
967      affects (truncation level) output.txt of global_ocean.cs32x15(&.thsice)
968    
969    checkpoint55i_post
970    o change arrays for total vertical diffusivity (2.D if explicit,
971      3.D if implicit) ; each ptracer uses its own background value.
972    o added mnc/NetCDF output capability to ocn_compon_interf
973      - added bits to verification/cpl_aim+ocn so that it can run on
974        ITRDA and other clusters without the mpirun "-wd" option
975    o fixed wayward endif in mom_fluxform.F that messed up cyclindrical
976      configuration
977    o give MNC the ability to create additional files rather than
978      exceeding a specified file size limit "MNC_MAX_FILESIZE"
979      - the default is just less than 2GB which is a practical limit
980        on many systems
981    o Compute the non-local term using either KPP vertical diffusivity (=default)
982       or the total vertical diffusivity (when KPP_ghatUseTotalDiffus=T)
983    
984    checkpoint55h_post
985    o add verification test "vermix"
986  o remove all the *_ioinc flags and replace with the single global  o remove all the *_ioinc flags and replace with the single global
987    outputTypesInclusive flag    outputTypesInclusive flag
988  o allow to set a vertical profile of vertical diffusivity for T & S  o allow to set a vertical profile of vertical diffusivity for T & S
989    o call PACKAGE_BOOT & PACKAGES_READPARMS just after INI_PARMS
990    o useMNC moved from data.mnc to data.pkg
991    
992  checkpoint55g_post  checkpoint55g_post
