4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o model: add Christopher Wolfe's implemetation of the single reduction cg2d
8     (d'Azevedo, Eijkhout, and Romine, 1999) with CPP-flag ALLOW_SRCG and
9     runtime flag useSRCGSolver. Modify verification experiment global_with_exf
10     to test this code
11    o pkg/cd_code:
12      Change defaut D-grid time-stepping to get the same for D-grid momentum as for
13       C-grid momentum. D-grid velocity used to be stepped forward in time with
14       Adams-Bashforth only on surface pressure term. Tests show that using AB on
15       D-grid coriolis term improves stability (as expected from CD-scheme paper).
16      To reproduce old results, add 2 options (in CD_CODE_OPTIONS.h).
17      Update results of exp: global_with_exf (x2), ideal_2D_oce, isomip (x2),
18       lab_sea (3 Fwd +3 AD), natl_box (x2), tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (Fwd+AD),
19       tutorial_global_oce_latlon, tutorial_global_oce_optim & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.
20      Keep old results by adding CD_CODE_OPTIONS.h in exp: cfc_example, exp2,
21           lobal_ocean.90x40x15(+AD), global_ocean_ebm(+AD) and OpenAD.
22    o pkg/obcs:
23     - fix bug in initialisation (broken since Oct 1rst modification)
24       for useOBCSprescribe without useEXF.
25    
26    checkpoint61y
27    o pkg/seaice
28     - change (once again) the discretization for the evp solver: rather than
29       squaring the averages of strain rates, average the squares to give
30       a better approximation to VP behavior (in simple test); this breaks
31       verification experiments that use EVP (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87)
32        --> update outputs
33    o add CPP-flag (in mom_calc_visc.F) and TAF directive (in gmredi_slope_limit)
34      to improve vectorization of adjoint code on TARGET_NEC_SX
35    o verification/vermix:
36      - change vermix to a more "classical" 1d column with high vertical
37        resolution, seasonal heat flux forcing and constant wind forcing
38        --> update outputs
39    o pkg/seaice
40     - fix diagnostics of principal stress components for EVP
41     - add optional diagnostics of non-linear convergence for LSOR solver
42     - make maximum zeta a runtime parameter
43    o model/src (3-d solver):
44      Undo modif from Dec 12, 2005 (solve_for_pressure.F cvs version v.49),
45       which consisted in removing the Surf. Non-Hydrostatic pressure from the
46       whole column and adding it to Eta (inspired from Casualli, 1999):
47       Only affects 3-D solver initial guess and only if using ExactConserv,
48       but tests did show a degradation of solver convergence. For this reason,
49       decide to disable this piece of code.
50       to recover previous version, just set zeroPsNH = exactConserv (line 78).
51      Update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4 & hs94.cs-32x32x5.impIGW
52    o pkg/ggl90:
53     - fix previous modif (unfortunatly has not been documented here).
54    o pkg/seaice/autodiff:
55     - add CPP flag to include clipping of zeta in EVP code;
56       although clipping of zeta is not necessary for EVP and not recommended
57       it was done by default, now clipping is disabled by default
58     - modify computation and store zetaC/Z in seaice_evp for TAF
59     - add CPP-flag SEAICE_ALLOW_CLIPVELS (undefined by default)
60     - change seaice_calc_viscosities/strainrates for better
61       vectorization after AD by TAF
62     - rearrange common blocks in SEAICE.h once again for easier dumps of
63       adjoint output, adjust adcommon.h and g_common.h
64     - change flux form of default advection scheme for better vectorization
65       of adjoint code
66     - modify lab_sea/input.lsr to test the flux form of default advection
67       scheme
68    o autodiff: fix seaice fields in g_common.h (left over from 3 to 1 level
69      transition in checkpoint61r)
70    
71    checkpoint61x
72    o adjoint: adding two new verification experiments
73      * tutorial_global_biogeo: an online dic sensitivity experiment
74        (work with G. Forget)
75      * tutorial_dic_adjoffline: an offline dic sensitivity experiment
76        (an update of the Dutkiewicz et al., 2006 paper)
77      Both use the same CO2FLUX cost function, but different controls
78      Gradient checks look good, but some recomp. could still be traightened out
79      Should add xx_dic control variable to test at some point
80    o model/src:
81      add run-time parameters to check and/or mask initial Temp & Salt
82    o pkg/ptracers:
83      apply zonal filter (if used) to all passive tracers
84    
85    checkpoint61w
86    o adjoint:
87      * update and finish work on adjoint of dic package (G. Forget)
88      * start adjoint of offline package
89      * bug fix for cube-sphere TLM code (active_file_g.F)
90    o tutorial_global_oce_optim:
91      now tested with 4 tiles (change data.grdchk and update output_adm.txt)
92      and add SIZE.h_mpi for MPI testing
93    o pkg autodiff
94     - fix bug in autodiff_restore
95     - make genmake2 remove comments and empty lines from ad_input_code.f in
96       order to reduce file size (new script file remove_comments_sed)
97    o allows to specify vertical profile of vertical viscosity (viscArNr)
98    o pkg autodiff
99      autodiff_ini_model_io: comment out writing of grid information to netcdf
100      files, because at this time the grid fields are a bunch of zeros
101      (this is analogous to ini_mnc_vars.F)
102    o pkg seaice/autodiff:
103     left-over from removing the 3-time-level fields:
104     - small rearrangement of common blocks (SEAICE.h)
105     - fix field declaration in order to get meaningful output in
106       adseaice.*.nc (adcommon.h)
107    o pkg obcs:
108     - go through NH code only if nonHydrostatic=T
109     - fix restart for Orlanski (Hydrostatic; still to fix NH+Orlanski restart)
110     - move call to OBCS_CALC before SEAICE_MODEL which needs seaice-obc fields
111       => Update output of experiment seaice_obcs
112     - useOBCSbalance: code is wrong with multi-tile / proc: add a stop.
113     - fix NH+Orlanski restart (add wvel OBC value in pickup file)
114     - fix restart for useOBCSprescribe + useEXF
115    o pkg ctrl
116     - make obcs as control parameter work also with useSingleCPUio
117     - replace a few sny and snx by Ny and Nx to be consistent with
118       ctrl_set_globfld_x/yz.F
119    o pkg seaice
120     - re-introduce global field frWtrAtm for the case of
121       ALLOW_MEAN_SFLUX_COST_CONTRIBUTION defined (SEAICE.h, seaice_growth.F)
122     - catch the case of an empty filename in seaice_cost_init_fixed.F
123    o pkg ecco:
124     - small bug fixes in the_main_loop
125      . fix order of monitor arguments
126      . change SEAICE_MULTILEVEL to SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY
127      . move include DYNVARS.h up outside the ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC block so
128        that ALLOW_ECCO_FORWARD_RUN works with NONLIN_FRSURF
129     - replace cos(yc*deg2rad) by _rA in cost_mean_heat/saltflux.F, fix the
130       imbalance diagnostics for wmean_h/sflux = 0
131     - add actual values to f_obcsn/s/w/e in ecco_cost_final.F
132     - catch the case of empty filenames in ecco_cost_init_fixed.F
133       and ecco_readparms.F
134     - fix the logic of wsalt=0.and.wsalt2=0 to wsalt=0.or.wsalt2=0 (and theta)
135       to make this statement meaningfull in ecco_cost_weights.F
136    o pkg zonal_filt:
137      - change ZONAL_FILTER S/R interface (allows to filter 2-D fields)
138      - when using rStar, filter uVel*hFacW instead of uVel
139       (tested without topography: fix a Pb of growing instability with NLFS)
140    o pkg/aim/thsice:
141     -Add capacity to read a Q-Flux to be applied in slab-mixed layer thsice_slab_ocean.F
142      (works as SST restoring)
143    o pkg/thsice:
144     -add specific parameter for salt restoring in slab mixed-layer
145       (by default equal to the temperature restoring)
146    
147    checkpoint61v
148    o pkg/kpp:
149     -add double diffusive contributions as a hack, turned off by default
150      for now, and the code can be excluded with a CPP-flag
151      EXCLUDE_KPP_DOUBLEDIFF just as EXCLUDE_KPP_SHEAR_MIX
152     -add a verification experiments to "vermix" to test this code
153    o pkg/mom_common:
154      Move computation of length scales to mom_init_fixed.F (avoid recomputation
155      at each time-steps*levels).
156    o pkg/layers:
157      Created a new package for computing volume fluxes in temperature or
158      [not yet implemented] density layers, e.g. for calculating residual
159      overturning circulations.
160    o pkg/diagnostics:
161      implement a RS type version for the set of DIAGNOSTICS-FILL subroutines
162    o fix few RS/RL type mismatch (check with ifort 11.1 "-warn all" option)
163    o pkg/mdsio (& pkg/rw): rework high level S/R interface:
164      To avoid mixing type (RS/RL) of input/output array argument,
165      replace single mixed-type array with a pair from each type (RS/RL).
166    o setting pickupSuff force to start from a pickup (even if nIter0=0): this
167      is now implemented for all pkgs (previously only done for the main pickup)
168    
169    checkpoint61u
170    o pkg/obcs:
171      - change OB?eta from _RS to _RL and put them into a separate commen block
172      - add code to read OB?eta from a file via obcs_prescribe_read: the code
173        compiles and does not destroy any other experiments, the data is read
174        properly, but the code is not tested in actual applications
175    o ini_mnc_vars.F: if available (ALLOW_CAL), use startTime_1 and 2 to
176      create a meaningful unit attribute for the time coordinate variable
177    o pkg/ebm: add plenty of missing "_d 0" ;
178       update results of experiment global_ocean_ebm (fwd + adjoint tests)
179      Notes: several pieces of code only works for (very) specific set up
180       (domain size, lat range, etc ...); should be documented & stop if one
181       of those assumptions is not meet.
182    o pkg/seaice: add missing "_d 0" in HSNOW initialisation
183       update results of experiments: lab_sea (3 fwd tests + 2 adjoint tests)
184          and offline_exf_seaice (seaicetd + adjoint).
185    o add missing "_d 0" in ShortWave flux penetration (S/R SWFRAC):
186       update results of experiments: lab_sea (4 fwd tests + 3 adjoint),
187        seaice_obcs, global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn & thsice) and natl_box (x2).
188    o few changes to pass when compiling with strick checking of arguments
189       across S/R (allow to find few bugs in S/R calls).
190    o pkg/seaice:
191     - seaice_evp: move if-statement out of loop (TEM) at the cost of 11 new
192       2d-fields, for slightly better performance
193    
194    checkpoint61t
195    o pkg/seaice:
196     - remove unused variables in seaice_evp
197     - reduce number of SQRT in seaice_evp and seaice_calc_viscosities
198    o eeset_parms.F, open_copy_data_file.F & ini_parms.F:
199       named file replacing SCRATCH files (for TARGET_BGL & TARGET_CRAYXT):
200       each processor opens a different file (a fix from Matt).
201    o cg2d:
202       use simple EXCH (overlap size = 1 and ignore corners), like in cg3d.F :
203       this reduces number of EXCH calls by 2 when using exch2.
204       For now, keep previous size array for gc2d_nsa.F to avoid Pb with store
205       directives and missing simple EXCH (exch_s3d_rx) adjoint code.
206    o pkg/thsice:
207       add code for Near Infra-Red albedo (from Jeff)
208       (turned on with run-time flag: thSIce_calc_albNIR, in data.ice).
209    o ini_model_io:
210       move (from packages_readparms.F & initialise_fixed.F) to ini_model_io.F
211       MNC & MONITOR initialisation calls; move MNC calls from {pkg}_readparms.F
212       to {pkg}_init_fixed.F for {pkg}= kpp, seaice & shelfice.
213    
214    checkpoint61s
215    o pkg/exch2 (exch2_rxN_cube*):
216       remove last BARRIER (no need to synchronise after getting data from shared
217       buffer (get) as long as any change to buffer (put,recv) is between BARRIER)
218    o change tiling of natl_box (from 2 to 4 tiles) to get it tested with MPI+MTH
219      and generate new output (for the 2 tests) using default rotationPeriod.
220    o pkg/exch2:
221      - always call exch2_*_cube, not exch-1 anymore, if useCubedSphereExchange=F
222        (was already the case with AUTODIFF_EXCH2 defined)
223      - add bj in exch2 arrays and S/R.
224      - can now use pkg/exch2 for regular (non CS) set-up; switch test experiment
225        MLAdjust to exch2 (identical results except with MPI -> truncation diff);
226    o add pkg/longstep for ptracer timestep a multiple of U/V/T/S timestep
227      - adds deltaT argument to the subroutines TIMESTEP_TRACER DWNSLP_APPLY
228        GAD_ADVECTION GAD_CALC_RHS GAD_IMPLICIT_R GAD_SOM_ADVECT
229      - verification experiment natl_box.longstep
230    o build_options: ifort+mpi_aces optfile (following Constantinos advise):
231      allow different versions of ifort (8 or 9) and different versions
232       of mpi (mpich or mpich2) to be used with the same optfile.
233      requires to load a netcdf module and set MPI_INC_DIR (see comments inside
234       optfile). Change testing scripts (example_scripts/ACESgrid) accordingly.
235    o pkg/seaice:
236      fix previous modif (3-level field removed) for old-pickup reading
237    
238    checkpoint61r
239    o pkg/seaice:
240     - clean up the 3-time levels of UICE,VICE,HEFF,AREA in three steps:
241      1. introduce fields for time step (N-1)
242      2. do not use levels 2 and 3 anymore (but keep them)
243      3. replace 3D versions of UICE,VICE,HEFF,AREA by 2D versions. This
244         includes changes to pkg/thsice/thsice_get_velocity.F,
245         model/src/external_forcing_surf.F, pkg/obcs/obcs_apply_seaice.F, and
246         pkg/obcs/obcs_apply_uvice.F.
247     - completely remove code for leap-frog time stepping for second order
248       advection
249     - adjusted adjoint accordingly;
250       gradient checks have improved by an order of magnitude!
251    
252    checkpoint61q
253    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in free slip boundary conditons for LSOR solver
254     - the boundary conditions along open boundaries are unclear, because the
255       associated masks are set to zero and are thus treated as closed when
256       applying the slip-boundary conditions.
257     - move initialisation of grid variables from seaice_init_varia to _fixed
258    o adding doc/diags_changes.txt
259    o model/src:
260      do_the_model_io: rename few pkg S/R which are called from do_the_model_io,
261       to avoid "_diags" naming if no relation to pkg/diagnostics.
262      ini_theta,ini_salt: fix (at least compile the code) reading from NetCDF
263       file and only call PLOT_FIELD_XYZ if debugMode=T.
264      remove few PLOT_FIELD_XY calls outside initialisation.
265      remove few unnecessary BARRIER.
266    o pkg/salt_plume: add SaltPlumeSouthernOcean to allow disabling
267      of salt_plume package in Southern Ocean
268    o pkg/thsice:
269     - fix hOceMxL in overlap (needed for sea-ice advection);
270       update output of experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn.
271    o pkg/seaice:
272     - make the (placeholder-)tracer IceAge a little more meaningful
273      by avoiding ridging of age due to convergent ice flow
274     - add diagnostics for surface temperature, atmospheric and oceanic
275       heat flux, and atmospheric and oceanic ice growth
276    
277    checkpoint61p
278    o eesupp (global_max & global_sum):
279     - add one more element to buffer (start at index 0) for GL_MAX/SUM output;
280     - remove starting & endding barrier (no longer needed)
281    o pkg/mdsio, writelocal:
282       works also in multi-threaded when LOCBIN_IO_THREAD_SAFE is undefined
283       (remove the STOP): uses shared buffer IO to store data from all threads
284       and then let master-thread write nThreads tiles.
285    o pkg/mdsio (read/write field):
286     - tiled IO done in 1 piece (all levels at a time);
287     - new header file "MDSIO_BUFF_3D.h" with 3-D buffers.
288     - multi-threaded: allow to read/write local (non-shared) array
289       (was already working with singleCpuIO ; now works also without);
290       => no longer needs barrier call after reading a file (added inside
291       mds_read/write field).
292     - move barrier calls outside gather/scatter_2d to mds_read/write_field
293    o pkg/obcs/exf
294      - exf_getffieldrec.F: add a few ". _d 0" and
295                            add code to catch the case fldperiod = 0.  
296      - obcs_precribe_read.F: change if statements so that they match
297                              the variable type (_RL)
298      - add a separate exf_iprec_obcs to exf_set_obcs (by default equal to
299        exf_iprec) as part of namelist EXF_NML_01
300    o pkg/mdsio:
301      - read/write tiled (local) files: read/write 1-level tile chunk at a time
302        (instead of segment of length sNx); expected to speed up tiled IO.
303    o pkg/exch2:
304      - take buffer copy from/to array out of S/R exch2_send/recv into new
305        S/R exch2_put/get ; Exch of local variable now works with MPI+MTH
306        (tested by removing commom block statement in SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE.h).
307      - ad version of send/recv no longer needed (but needs exch2_ad_put/ad_get)
308      - simplify argument list of S/R exch2_get_uv_bounds and exch2_get_scal_bounds
309        (which replaces exch2_get_recv_bounds & exch2_get_send_bounds) by
310        including Topology header file (and common blocks).
311      - implement EXCH_IGNORE_CORNERS in scalar exchange (rx1);
312        remove 2nd exch call in exch2_s3d_rx (no longer needed).
313      - document S/R arg. list (+ update some comments)
314    o pkg/seaice:
315      - added SEAICE_CLIM_AIR code, which permits modulation of surface air
316        temperature and humidity over sea ice based on climatological values.
317      - clean up computation of Hibler+Bryan (1987) stress coupling for the case
318        of LSR (this change is expected to change the results slightly because now
319        it uses slightly difference moduli from the second last LSR solution, but
320        that is more consistent with the stress computations; this part of the code
321        is not tested in the verification experiments)
322      - fix diagnostics for flux of ice in case of B-grid
323      - turn strain rates eij and press into global fields within global
324        common block in SEAICE.h for more straighforward diagnostics
325      - fix diagnostics for principal stress components, press, zeta, eta
326        to give something meaning full
327    o change tiling of global_ocean.cs32x15 (12 tiles, 32x16) and generate
328      new output (all 4 tests) using default rotationPeriod.
329    o pkg KPP:
330      - add flag (LimitHblStable) to avoid limiting BL depth under stable conditions
331      - fix vertical indices in RI_IWMIX (match between KPP grid from 0 to Nr+1
332        and normal grid from 1 to Nr)
333    o Fix computations of L4rdt in mom_calc_visc.F
334    o eesupp:
335      new S/R ALL_PROC_DIE (like EEDIE, without irrelevant threads err msg):
336      should be called before a "stop" if we know that all process are going
337      to stop; if one Proc does call this S/R, will hang in MPI_FINALISE.
338    
339    checkpoint61o
340    o pkg/exch2: change check_depths to issue just a warning (instead of error+stop)
341    o model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F:
342       compute angleSin/CosC when they are not read from a file
343    o pkg/seaice:
344       add pseudo time stepping for LSOR
345    o pkg/exch2:
346       temporary fix for exch2_s3d_rx; update results of exp. hs94.cs-32x32x5.impIGW
347    o pkg/seaice:
348       Adding separate sea ice albedo, drag coefficients, and HO in Southern
349       Ocean from those in Arctic Ocean.  See *_south in SEAICE_PARAMS.h
350    o SingleCpuIO:
351       fix bug put before chkp61n (May 11), when more than 2 MPI cpu are used.
352    o pkg/seaice:
353       put exchanged variable in (local) common block for MPI+Multi-Threads
354       to work (necessary with exch1, and for now with exch2 too).
355    o verification: to get more experiments tested with mpi, mth and mpi+mth,
356      change tiling of:
357       aim.5l_Equatorial_Channel, aim.5l_LatLon, dome, exp4, global_ocean.90x40x15,
358       hs94.cs-32x32x5, MLAdjust, offline_exf_seaice & tutorial_plume_on_slope
359      update output of exp:
360       exp4, global_ocean.90x40x15(+.dwslp), MLAdjust(all 5),
361       tutorial_plume_on_slope and hs94.cs-32x32x5 (use default rotationPeriod)
362      + ideal_2D_ocean: use default rotation period + test Global_Sum_SINGLECPU
363                       (note: output.txt generated on faulks using only 1 tile)
364    o eesupp & mdsio (SingleCpuIO):
365     - remove MISSING_TILE_IO (from MDSIO_OPTIONS.h), replaced by run-time
366       parameter "W2_useE2ioLayOut" (read from file "data.exch2").
367       Note: was not effective for globalFile & useSingleCpuIO=F; now fixed.
368     - move MDSIO_SCPU.h (pkg/mdsio) to EEBUFF_SCPU.h (eesupp/inc).
369     - fix GLOBAL_SUM_SINGLECPU when using Exch2; re-use same buffers and same
370       gather/scatter S/R as with SingleCpuIO (=> 1 less 2D global RL array).
371    o pkg/exch2:
372     - new code to set-up W2-Exch2 topology (replace matlab-topology-generator):
373       read parameter file "data.exch2" if it exists; otherwise try default regular
374       cube without blank-tile; new header file "W2_EXCH2_SIZE.h";
375     - update matlab-topology-generator (exch2_setup_cs6_print.m) to be compatible
376       with new code (not to be used, just as a backup solution).
377     - add examples (e.g., for lat-lon-cap_120) of parameter file "data.exch2"
378       in utils/exch2/input.
379    
380    checkpoint61n
381    o eesupp & mdsio (SingleCpuIO):
382      - move mapping to global io-buffer inside gather_2d/scater_2d: this save
383        memory (1 less 2D global RL array); skip 1 buffer copy; and only send/
384        receive real*4 array (instead of real*8) to read/write 32.bit files.
385        (new template for gather_2d/scater_2d, new set of S/R MDS_PASS_R4,8toRL,S
386         and remove new mapping S/R)
387    o pkg/mdsio: in preparation for topology-generator within pkg/exch2:
388      - Change declaration of SingleCpuIO buffer, reduced to only 1 dim.:
389        xyBuffer_size, which is set to W2_ioBufferSize from W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h
390        when using exch2. Add S/R to map global io-buffer to global model array.
391      - uses exch2_global_Nx,y instead of exch2_domain_nxt,nyt.
392    
393    checkpoint61m
394    o write_utils : change WRITE_1D_R8 to WRITE_1D_RL
395      and add 3 other S/R for other types (R4,R8,RS).
396      Change calls to WRITE_0D/1D_R[4,8,S,L] to match the type of argument.
397    o eesupp/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h (EXCH & GLOBAL_SUM/MAX macros):
398     - ensure suffix (_R4,_R8,_RS,_RL) correspondance between macro and S/R ;
399     - reduce number of macro definitions (keep only those which are used);
400       can always call directly the corrresponding S/R if needed.
401     - everywhere in the code: change macros (EXCH & GLOBAL_SUM/MAX) suffix
402       _R4/_R8 to _RS/_RL when applied to _RS/_RL variable.
403     Fixed wrong type of arg in:
404       atm2d/put_ocnvars.F cheapaml/cheapaml.F ocn_compon_interf/ocn_apply_import.F
405       ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F seaice/seaice_do_diags.F seaice/seaice_model.F
406     To fix: global_sum of var in common block is wrong (multi-threaded) in:
407       dic/dic_atmos.F ebm/ebm_area_t.F ebm/ebm_zonalmean.F sbo/sbo_calc.F
408     To fix: aim_v23/aim_do_co2.F (BARRIER & GLOBAL_SUM within bi,bj loops)
409    o adjustment.cs-32x32x1: test "blank tiles" when compiling with mpi; 2nd
410      "nlfs" mpi test is going to stop when checking for unconnected tile egdes.
411    o eesupp/src: new S/R to stop everyone when 1 (or more) Proc. find an error
412    o pkg/exch2: new S/R EXCH2_CHECK_DEPTHS to check that unconnected tile
413      edges are closed (zero depth); might happen with "blank tiles";
414      for now, disabled if using OBCS.
415    o tools/gemake2: delete modifs from March 27-29 2009 (with option "-mpi":
416      link *_mpi files from "MODS" dir) to return to a strait-forward behavior.
417    o move read_write.F to write_utils.F ; new parameter (maxLengthPrt1D)
418      to reduce length of 1.D array print in STDOUT.
419    o adjustment.cs-32x32x1: changed to oceanic test with 1 continent
420      + use 48 tiles (16x8): this will allow to test "blank tiles".
421    o start to test MPI + multi-threaded (change testreport to skip tests
422      where number of tiles do not match).
423    o genmake2: add option "-omp" to turn on Open-MP ;
424      passed to testreport (if using -mth) ; merge few (*+mth) optfiles.
425    o pkg/exch2 (+ utils/exch2): ignore blank tiles (instead of removing them)
426      and keep the original tile numbering. Note: compatible with old
427      W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h & w2_e2setup.F topology files.
428    
429    checkpoint61l
430    o Overlaps had been forgotten in calculating ijk keys : fixed
431    o fix cyrus makedepend for gcc 4.4
432    o experiment fizhi-cs-aqualev20:
433      switching to new version of S/R GETPWHERE (#define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE)
434      and generate new output. Note: new output is much closer to the old
435      one (v1.8) generated with pgf77 -O2 on Mar 14 2007 than it is from
436      the previous one (v1.9) generated with pgf77 -O0 on Jun 13 2007.
437    o pkg/fizhi:
438     - change to avoid indices going deliberately over array-bounds
439     - remove unnecessary MPI stuff
440     - perpetual spring equinox with "#define FIZHI_USE_FIXED_DAY"
441     - new version of S/R GETPWHERE available with #define TRY_NEW_GETPWHERE:
442       does not go over array-bounds and therefore returns reliable output.
443     - in fizhi_driver.F & fizhi_turb.F, fix "get_alarm" calls:
444       this S/R has 4 output arguments, which are used inside "get_alarm";
445       when it is called with the same variable "ndum" in place of several
446       output arguments, this produces weird side effect inside "get_alarm"
447      (e.g., datein=dates(n) is overwritten by timein=times(n) since both
448       datein & timein, resp. 2nd and 3rd arg., are pointed to the same "ndum"
449       address) and produces error.
450    o tools/gemake2: (March 27-29 2009)
451      with option "-mpi": link *_mpi files from "MODS" dir (this is what
452      testreport does).
453    o lab_sea experiment: change from 2x1 tiles to 2x2 tiles and regenerate output
454    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in new version of S/R SEAICE_LSR.F:
455       update lab_sea.lsr & lab_sea.salt_plume results
456    o pkg/seaice:
457      Major overhaul of the LSOR solver: change discretization from original
458      finite differences to finite volume. The old routine is still in the
459      file seaice_lsr.F and can be turned on with the CPP-flag
460      SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION
461      Along with this change, the discretization of the strain rates is changed.
462      The same flag turns on the old discretization in seaice_calc_strainrates.F
463      All verification experiments with seaice are affected (except for
464      seaice_exf_offline); global_ocean.cs32x15/input.icedyn recovers the old
465      results by setting the above flag.
466      Further changes involve changes in defaults:
467      - ALLOW_FLOODING is defined and turned on by default
468      - SEAICEadvSnow = .true. is now the default
469      - SEAICEadvSalt = .true. is now the default
470      - SEAICEadvAge  = .true. is now the default
471      - SEAICE_clipVelocities  = .false. is now the default
472                                         (as per J. Zhang's recommendation)
473      - B-grid, and thus not tested: SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1/EXPLICIT_SSH_SLOPE
474        is defined, SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 is renamed into SEAICE_BICE_STRESS
475      - seaice_growth: replace computation of UG by a simple copy from wspeed
476    
477    checkpoint61k
478    o pkg/seaice: a few bug fixes mostly concerning the metric terms:
479      seaice_lsr: fixed a few metric terms,
480                  affects lab_sea.lsr, lab_sea.salt_plume, seaice_obcs
481                  add more debugging diagnostics
482      seaice_evp: removed superfluous many metric terms of FV discretization
483                  of stress divergence
484                  affects lab_sea, lab_sea.hb87
485      seaice_ocean_stress: removed superfluous many metric terms of FV discretization
486                  of stress divergence for non-evp solver
487                  (this part is not tested anywhere)
488      seaice_calc_strainrates: fixed a bug in no-slip boundary conditions,
489                  they were effectively only half slip
490                  affects lab_sea.hb87
491      updated all relevant verification experiments (except lab_sea//output_adm.txt
492        which was left over, but fails at level 7 & 6)
493    
494    checkpoint61j
495    o pkg/seaice: turn a few hard wired parameters into run time parameters
496    o pkg/seaice/exf/monitor: turn netcdf coordinate variable T into model
497      time in seconds as promised by the usints in seaice_monitor and exf_monitor
498    o pkg/mnc: fix the coordinate variables for multi-tile curvi-linear grids
499      that are not cubed-sphere grids
500    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug for the rare case of SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR
501    o pkg/ctrl:
502      fix bug in ctrl_depth_ini.F (EXCH_XYZ was applied to 2-D field xx_r_low)
503    o non-hydrostatic (calc_gw.F):
504      fix viscA4 on CS-grid + fix diagnostics: Wm_Diss & Wm_Advec
505      update output of exp. global_ocean.cs32x15.viscA4
506    o remove backward compatibility for thetaMin,phiMin
507      (replaced by xgOrigin,ygOrigin on Jan 27, 2009)
508    o pkg/exf: fix a serious bug in exf_set_uv.F: do a rotation of the
509      interpolated wind field not only for curvilineargrid=.true., but also
510      for a rotated grid (rotateGrid=.true.)
511    o pkg/exf: add capability to bypass interpolation for runoff
512      by setting yet another CPP-flag
513    o eesupp/src, B-grid exchange:
514      add simple (6 tiles, non MPI) CS exch + standard interface S/R.
515    o autodiff
516      new CPP option ALLOW_TAMC_SINGLEPREC_COMLEV
517      allows to switch to single-prec common blocks;
518      corresponding switch occurs in tamc.h, integer isbyte
519      TAF store directivs "byte" and "kind" seem equivalent;
520      Most tamc.h have been updated correspondingly.
521    
522    checkpoint61i
523    o autodiff:
524      fix autodiff_sore/_restore indices for obcs
525      (spotted by I. Hoteit, M. Mazloff)
526    o pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl:
527      Add flag to reduce all tapelev I/O to single-prec.
528      In data.ctrl set
529        doSinglePrecTapelev = .TRUE.
530    o model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F, new grid-file format without EXCH2:
531      check in hack for SX8 compiler (for dxV, dyU); remove it afterwards.
532    o pkg/shelfice: fix bug with SHELFICEconserve flag, prepare for
533      real fresh water flux (not yet)
534    o pkg/mdsio & rw:
535     - add argument & option to S/R MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC (avoid Open/Close & write-meta)
536     - add simple interface S/R to MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC in pkg/rw: WRITE_GLVEC_RX.
537    o pkg/flt:
538     - replace FLT_INIT by 3-steps standard initialization S/R: readparms,
539       init_fixed & ini_varia.
540     - clean-up & simplify linear interpolation S/R:
541       move flt_bilinear.F -> flt_interp_linear.F ; add arg. myThid.
542     - fix some indices (mainly vertical index) ; add IMPLICIT NONE.
543     - more efficient I/O, using new options of MDS_WRITEVEC_LOC S/R.
544     - add vert. coordinate & horiz. indices to output files.
545     - change vertical position in initial condition, from index to depth [m].
546     - store horizontal (decimal) indices i,j in common block (instead of coord. x,y)
547       (easier to get to a curvilinear grid) ; delX,delY no longer used.
548    o pkg/ggl90: a few modifications:
549     - fix bottom boundary condition, and interpolation of KappaE
550       near top and bottom
551     - use same set of viscosity/diffusivity for TKE/momnetum/tracer
552     - add smoothing option as in Blanke and Delecluse (1993) (--> ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH)
553     - add a few options for mixing-length upper limit (--> mxlMaxFlag)  
554    o rename thetaMin,phiMin -> xgOrigin,ygOrigin
555      (maintain temporary backward compatibility, until next checkpoint)
556    
557    checkpoint61h
558    o pkg/diagnostics with "periodic averaging diagnostics":
559      fix S/R DIAGNOSTICS_COUNT ; hack diagnostics_out.F to get NetCDF output.
560    o pkg/my82: add missing "_d 0" ; update output of exp. vermix.my82
561    o pkg/obcs: fix loop ranges for balancing code
562    o pkg/flt:
563     - improve criteria for finding which tile owns a float.
564     - fix FLT_EXCH for case without MPI ; apply cyclic BC + fix also the MPI case.
565    o Add well-mixed CO2 box in aim_v23 (which includes changes in pkg
566      aim_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf, gchem, and dic to get coupling
567      with ocean biogeo)
568    o pkg/flt:
569     - do some cleaning and fix the restart ;
570     - add output.txt in flt_example/results to get this pkg tested.
571    o genmake2: add an EXTENDED_SRC option and flag.
572       for now, cannot be turned on on command line (only through genmake_local)
573    o pkg/mdsio: read/write vector:
574     - singleCpuIO: fix RL/RS in MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_BUFFERtoRL/RS
575     - singleCpuIO=F: fix arrType & filePrec & _BYTESWAPIO in both MDSREADVECTOR
576       & MDSWRITEVECTOR by calling new S/R MDS_RD/WR_VEC_RL/RS.
577     - affects gradient of test-exp "bottom_ctrl_5x5" (not due to _BYTESWAPIO)
578      (drop to 4 digits matching for grad). But this test does not look very
579      reliable (was already failling on eddy, fc5, at 6.digits). Update output.
580    
581    checkpoint61g
582    o pkg/flt:
583      - move FLT_CPPOPTIONS.h to FLT_OPTIONS.h (standard name)
584       + make OPTIONS file more standard.
585      - rename S/R MDSREADVECTOR_FLT to FLT_MDSREADVECTOR (to mach src file name)
586      - fix _BYTESWAPIO CPP-Flag
587      - standard reading of file-parameter "data.flt"
588      - fix argument list of S/R FLT_RESTART
589      still need to fix _BYTESWAPIO in pkg/mdsio/mdsio_writevector.F
590    o pkg/obcs: fix a CPP-flag, bug reported by Jeff Blundell
591    o gather_2d.F/scatter_2d.F: suppress vectorisation on NEC SX in respond to
592      a still unfixed compiler/optimization bug
593    
594    checkpoint61f
595    o pkg/seaice, LSR solver: fix bug in GLOBAL_MAX calls ;
596      update results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn test.
597    o move getcon.F from model/src to pkg/fizhi.
598    o pkg/exf: add parameter for extrapolation of temp up to the surface
599       and option to prevent negative evap (in bulk_largeyeager04 only).
600    o Prather Advection scheme: fix tracer conservation for divergent flow
601      (e.g., when using NonLin Free-Surface).
602    o kpp: retire KPPmld diagnostics --> use MXLDEPTH instead
603    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
604     - add more parameters to Visbeck-variable-K.
605     - use a 5 points average for dSigmaR in Visbeck-K calculation
606       (more "homogenous": same stencil and same weights as in dSigmaH)
607     - update output of ideal_2D_oce experiment.
608    o fix CPP-flag REAL4_IS_SLOW, when _RS expands into real*4
609      (#undef REAL4_IS_SLOW)
610     - pkg/mnc/mnc_cw_cvars.F: write _RS-grid variable as netcdf-real*4
611       coordinate variable
612     - pkg/monitor/monitor.F: call mon_printstats_rs for _RS variables
613       (surface forcing fields), removes some of the functionality
614     - model/src/write_grid.F: write _RS variables as RS-netcdf variables
615     - model/src/diags_oceanic_surf_flux.F: fix a few diagnostics, but
616       probably not all: copy _RS surface flux fields to RL field before
617       calling DIAGNOSTICS_FILL
618     - model/inc/CPP_EEMACROS.h: make the _EXCH_*_RS macros expand into
619       real*4 (CALL EXCH_*_RS) versions.
620     - tested in 2 experiments: inverted_barometer & solid-body.cs-32x32x1
621       (generate new output).
622    
623    checkpoint61e
624    o gmredi (Visbeck-variable-K):
625      - fix the "OLD_VISBECK_CALC" option + move the #undef to GMREDI_OPTIONS.h
626      - change computation of Visbeck-K where Slope > Smax :        
627        now: N*min(Slope,Smax) (similar to OLD_VISBECK_CALC with gkw91 taperFct)
628        previously was: M*sqrt(min(Slope,Smax)) ; update ideal_2D_oce output.
629    o bottom-drag in P-coord.: change units of bottomDragLinear & bottomDragQuadratic
630      to be the same as with Z-coord. (i.e., m/s & no-units respectively).
631    o calc_viscosity: fix index range (was wrong for CD-Scheme & explicit Visc)
632    o pkg gmredi, linear & fm07 tapering: put an upper limit on Slope^2 so that Kwz
633      does not become too large (to avoid precision problems in implicit-diffusion
634      solver); update ideal_2D_oce output.
635    o pkg ggl90:
636      - in ggl90_cal.F: compute only one set of visc/diff, used to
637        step forward TKE/T/S/momentum
638      - default value of GGL90viscMax/GGL90diffMax larger and equal (to
639        have Prandlt =1)
640    o gmredi (fm07):
641      - add lower limit on Transition layer thickness + lower limit on 1/lambda
642      - allow to set few more params from data.gmredi
643    o pkg ggl90:
644          - add missing sqrt(2) factor in computation of mixing length
645            scale in ggl90_calc.F
646            (see Eq. (2.35) in Blanke and Delecluse, JPO, 1993)
647    
648    checkpoint61d
649    o adjoint modifs
650      - adapt to new field rhoInSitu
651      - allow to revert from StoreDynVars2D, StoreDynVars3D
652        to individual fields
653        (switches AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_2D, AUTODIFF_USE_OLDSTORE_3D)
654    o store 3-D (in-situ) density in commom block (DYNVARS.h)
655     - save 1 rho computation.
656     - no longer modify T & S inland when using down_slope pkg.
657    o gad_som : allow to switch to SOM advection for T & S without corresponding
658      pickup files (using new S/R: MDS_CHECK4FILE).
659    o keep removing _BEGIN/_END_MASTER between MDSIO S/R call
660      (for useSingleCpuIO to work in multi-threaded)
661    o pkg/shelfice:
662     - disentangle parameters: retire shelfIceFile in data/PARM05 and substitute
663       with SHELFICEtopoFile in data.shelfice
664     - move code for reading ice shelf topography and modifying hFacC into separate
665       subroutines of the shelfice package
666     - separate initialisation of "fixed" and "variable" variables
667     - kTopC is not (yet) replaced by kSurfC, although this is possible
668    o fix broken diagnostic SIatmFW and changed the units from m/s to kg/m^2/s
669    o add initialisation of deepFac if using Pcoords (new S/R set_grid_factors)
670      and rename:
671      ini_phiref.F          --> set_ref_state.F  (+ set anelastic factors)
672      ini_reference_state.F --> load_ref_files.F (- set anelastic factors)
673    o change FIND_RHO_SCALAR : return rho (instead of rho - rhoConst)
674    
675    checkpoint61c
676    o add option ALLOW_ADDFLUID and run-time selector "selectAddFluid"
677      to add mass source/sink of fluid in the interior (3-D generalisation
678      of oceanic real-fresh water flux).
679    o pkg/monitor: fix recip_dr argument in mon_advcflw2 call (-> advcfl_W_hf_max)
680    o vermix test experiment: switch from LINEAR EOS to MDJWF (not tested before)
681    o new pkg: down_slope
682      density-driven downsloping flow parameterisation (Tellus, 1999, 412-430).
683      - presently, modify T & S inland (dwnslp_calc_rho.F).
684        can be avoided if rho was stored in common bloc and used in calc_phi_hyd.
685      - implementation for ocean in P-coords not tested.
686      - add secondary test to global_ocean.90x40x15 (input.dwnslp) to check this pkg.
687    o move kSurfC,kSurfW & kSurfS from SURFACE.h to GRID.h (next to kLowC)
688      (to facilitate conversion of oceanic pkg to p-coordinate).
689    o change FIND_RHO to FIND_RHO_2D :
690      pass arguments tFld & sFld as local (tile) 2D-arrays ; +fix EOS_CHECK.
691    o new pkg: cheapaml
692    
693    checkpoint61b
694    o exch2:
695      change index bounds in rx2_cube exchanges (new S/R: EXCH2_GET_UV_BOUNDS)
696      - no longer depend on the order sequence (N,S,E,W).
697      - 3rd exchange no longer needed (tested with 24 tiles).
698      - same modif to hand-written adjoint S/R (global_ocean.cs32x15: zero diff)
699      - exch_UV_A-grid readily available (but not yet tested).
700      comment out 3rd exch call and remove copy of V to U at SE & NE face-corners
701      (both are no longer needed) in exch_uv: no effect in forward run; but
702       get truncation error differences with adjoint exch.
703    o exch2:
704     - change index-bounds storage (moved from target to local tile,
705       more intuitive this way) ; rename/remove some variables.
706     - change utils/exch2/matlab-topology-generator & code_mods accordingly.
707    
708    checkpoint61a
709    o exch2/matlab-topology-generator:
710      fix bug in index bounds for N-S internal exchange (hard to tell if this
711      had any effect on the solution).
712    o pkg/mnc: small fix in mnc_handle_err: make sure that length of msgbuf
713      is exceeded
714    o testreport: modify syntax of awk, so that it works also with
715      awk, and not only with nawk and gawk
716    
717    checkpoint61
718    o autodiff
719      Change default for TAF usage by removing argument '-nonew_arg'
720      This changes TAF subroutine argument list (ordering of active var.)
721      Omission of this flag leads to incompatibility w.r.t. TAMC
722      To restore TAMC-compatibility, need following modifs:
723      * use adoptfile tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_tamc_compatibility
724      * use CPP option #define AUTODIFF_TAMC_COMPATIBILITY
725      Tested TAF version is 1.9.22
726      N.B.: exch2 hand-written adjoint code currently not TAMC compatible
727    
728    checkpoint60
729    --->>> This is the last checkpoint for which generating the adjoint
730    --->>> is done via the TAMC-compatibility TAF-flag "-nonewarg"
731    --->>> by default.
732    --->>> Future checkpoints will ommit this flag by default.
733    o pkg/generic_advdiff, os7mp: simplify and avoid division by zero.
734    o pkg/grdchk: Add gradient check to etan0 perturbations.
735    o pkg/exf: read ice area from file (#ifdef ALLOW_ICE_AREAMASK).
736    o pkg/autodiff: more flexibility in zeroadj.
737      model/src: modifying do_oceanic_phys.F accordingly.
738    o pkg/ctrl: Bounds for (kapgm,kapredi,eddypsi) parameter estimation.
739    o model/src and pkg/gmredi: GMREDI_WITH_STABLE_ADJOINT CPP option
740      special setup of gmredi for which the adjoint is stable
741      enough for parameter optimization.
742    o bridging the gap between eddy stress and GM.
743      -> eddyTau is replaced with eddyPsi (eddyTau = f x rho0 x eddyPsi)
744          along with a change in CPP option (now ALLOW_EDDYPSI).
745      -> when using GM w/ GM_AdvForm:
746          The total eddy streamfunction (Psi = eddyPsi + K x Slope)
747          is applied either in the tracer Eq. or in momentum Eq.
748          depending on data.gmredi (intro. GM_InMomAsStress).
749      -> ALLOW_EDDYPSI_CONTROL for estimation purpose.
750      The key modifications are in model/src/taueddy_external_forcing.F
751      pkg/gmredi/gmredi_calc_*F pkg/gmredi/gmredi_*transport.F
752    
753    checkpoint59r
754    o new S/R (pkg/mdsio/mdsio_facef_read.F) reading of sNx+1 x sNy+1 array
755      from per-face file (take S/R READSYMTILE_RS out of ini_curvilinear_grid.F);
756      fix option to read coriolis(@ cell-corner) from files with CS-grid.
757    o pkg/mnc: add some attributes to standard 1D-coordinate variables
758    o pkg/diagnostics: enforce missing_value attribute for scalar variables at
759      mass points, when using mnc for output
760      - add runtime parameter (missing_value, missing_value_int) to override
761        default (which is the value of getcon('UNDEF'))
762    o pkg/mnc: prepare mnc for the actual use of missing values with the
763      diagnostics package: small fix in mnc_cw_readwrite.template and more
764      initialisation of never used fields
765      - replace mnc_common.h and mnc_id_header.h with corresponding upper case
766      versions
767    o pkg/thsice/thsice_ini_vars.F added default initial values so that
768      thermodynamics sea ice solver does not blow up when some initial fields
769      are missing.
770    o move from external_forcing_surf.F to ini_forcing.F
771      the p-coord. hack consisting in using pLoad to set phi0surf ;
772      update output of tutorial_global_oce_in_p (affected @ truncation level).
773    o Freshen up a bit hs94.1x64x5, notably:
774      remove rotationPeriod and tRef=5*0. (adjoint only), and add
775      exactConserv=.TRUE.
776    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
777      change option GAD_ALLOW_SOM_ADVECT to GAD_ALLOW_TS_SOM_ADV which only
778      applies to files where Temperature & Salinity 2nd Order moments are used.
779    o pkg/ptracers: add second-order moment advection schemes (80 and 81);
780      this uses a dynamically allocated internal state data structure
781      (#define PTRACERS_ALLOW_DYN_STATE in PTRACERS_OPTIONS.h)
782      and requires a fortran 90 compiler
783    
784    checkpoint59q
785    o pkg/mom_vecinv: Add energy & enstrophy conserving scheme (selectVortScheme=3)
786       (from Sadourny, described by Burridge & Haseler, ECMWF Rep.4, 1977)
787    o Refresh tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, notably:
788      - change bathymetry (put back seamounts in ACC, use hFacs)
789      - change EOS (POLY3 --> JMD95Z)
790      - use Bryan-Lewis vertical diffusivity
791      - use multidimensional advection
792      - remove old virtual virtual in dic pkg, now done through ptracer pkg
793      - change a couple of parameters in dic pkg
794    o pkg/ctrl: change formula in adctrl_bound.F and add a parameter to ctrl_map_ini_gen.F
795    o pkg/obcs: change default to OBCSfixTopo = .true.,
796      - set OBCSfixTopo=.false. in exp4/input/data.obcs to reproduce old result
797      - replace "debugMode" with "debugLevel .GE. debLevB"
798    o implementation of TAF directives for gchem,cfc,dic
799    o remove "exp5" (replaced by tutorial_deep_convection).
800    o pkg/obcs: add code to fix topography gradients normal to open boundaries;
801      this requires computing the index fields OB_Jn/Js/Ie/Iw in obcs_readparms;
802      the code can be turned on by setting OBCSfixTopo = .true. in data.obcs
803      --> changes results in exp4, seaice_obcs
804    o tutorial_deep_convection :
805      update the set-up and increase resolution and domain size ; start
806      from pseudo initial conditions = output at t=120mn in order to see
807      something happening when running testreport.
808    o pkg/seaice: add os7mp as an advection scheme
809                  add check for advection schemes
810                  add a flag for restoring T and S underneath sea ice
811    o pkg/my82: add netcdf-support and diagnostics
812    o thsice pkg:
813      - Now hsMax limits snow height by turning it into ice following
814        flooding scheme (and now conserving energy)
815      - Slight rewriting of the formula in thsice_calc_thick.F
816      - Parameter rhowi eliminated to be replaced by floodFac = (rhosw-rhoi)/rhos
817      --> changes results of global_ocean.cs32x15.icedyn and global_ocean.cs32x15.thsice
818    
819    checkpoint59p
820    o gchem / dic / cfc :
821      - add useDIC, useCFC , read from "data.gchem" (& hold in GCHEM.h);
822      - add new parameter files: "data.dic" & "data.cfc" ;
823      - various re-arrangement in initialisation & header file ;
824      - fix tutorial_global_oce_biogeo for multi-threaded test.
825    o pkg/dic: test for "pickup_dic" file when restarting ;
826      if no pickup-file, can restart with a re-initialised pH (same as it did
827      before) providing pickupStrictlyMatch is set to False.
828    o change argument list of S/R PTRACERS_WRITE_PICKUP & MYPACKAGE_WRITE_PICKUP
829      + fix call to S/R GGL90_WRITE_PICKUP & DIC_WRITE_PICKUP
830    o add a "warning" (to Error msg file) when an Active Tracer is not using AB-2
831      and staggerTimeStep is off (needed for stability of Internal-wave dynamics).
832    o move out of PARAMS.h & data the last pieces of old-ptracer code: tauTr1ClimRelax,
833     & lambdaTr1ClimRelax ; put those 2 params in PTRACERS_PARAMS.h & data.ptracers
834       (note: not clear to me what lambdaTr1ClimRelax is still used for ...)
835    o pkg/mom_vecinv: - new parameter "selectVortScheme" to select which
836       scheme to use for vorticty-term ;
837     - compute upwindVorticity=T case within mom_vi_u/v_coriolis_c4.F
838       (with default selectVortScheme, return to original discretisation)
839     - remove weird combination (e.g.: upwindVorticity & highOrderVorticity)
840    o pkg/seaice: add a line to the summary to indicate grid type (B/C)
841    o in mom_calc_visc, fix average value of viscAh_W & viscA4_W next to the
842      bottom ; only used with variable horizontal viscosity and non-hydrostatic.
843      also fix diagnostics VISCAHW & VISCA4W.
844    
845    checkpoint59o
846    o dome/code/obcs_calc.F: avoid division by zero (detected using gfortran).
847    o change the loop ordering in most gad_*_adv_x.F to improve vectorization:
848      move a few statemens out the main loop into separate loops
849    o pkg/shelfice:
850      - sort out freshwater flux; convert freshwater fluxes to mass fluxes
851        (kg/m^2/s), does not break tests, because in verification/isomip,
852        rhoConstFresh=rhoConst (by accident)
853      - rearrange computation of tLoc, sLoc, pLoc to make code more efficient
854      - move S/R find_rho_scalar, pkg/ecco/sw_ptmp.F, pkg/ecco/sw_adtg.F into
855        new file model/src/seawater.F, so that they are available for all pkgs.
856      - convert potential temperature into in-situ temperature. This changes the
857        isomip tests => update tests
858    o add a flag writePickupAtEnd (default=true) to be able to suppress
859      writing a pickup at the last timestep
860    o tools/mpack-1.6 :
861      - disable automake (not working) and autoconf (not needed).
862      - update to version 1.6.4 which fix MD5 code on some 64 bits platforms
863        also cleaner with much less compilation warnings.
864    o pkg/profiles:
865      rename profiles_interp_mean_genericgrid as profiles_interp_mean_gg
866      (for "less than 32 characters name" compiler requirement)
867    o pkg/obcs and pkg/exf: added capability to specify seaice open boundary
868      conditions that have a different sampling frequency than S/T/U/V obcs
869    o pkg/diagnostics (stats-diags):
870      - fix global Min/Max in case 1 processor get only empty tiles
871    o genmake2: replace (4 times)
872         make genmake_tc_1.o >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
873      with
874         COMM="$CC $CFLAGS -c genmake_tc_1.c"
875         echo $COMM >> genmake_warnings
876         $COMM >> genmake_warnings 2>&1
877      to make genmake2 always see the value of CC as specified in the optfile.
878    o generic_advdiff: - prather advection scheme (SOM) coded for CS-grid.
879      - add diagnostics for 1srt & 2nd Order moments and sub-grid variance.
880      - modify verification advect_cs test to test SOM-advection on CS-grid.
881    o pkg/ctrl:
882      - Rewrite of ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F,
883        introducing a generic routine (ctrl_map_ini_gen.F).
884      - Modification of ctrl_bound/adctrl_bound handling control vector bounds.
885    
886    checkpoint59n
887    o pkg/diagnostics: for large number of diagnostics, store diagnostic mate
888      number in dedicate array "hdiag":
889      - new version of S/R DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST : DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST
890        with 1 more argument (mate number); modify old version DIAGNOSTICS_ADD2LIST.
891      - many small changes (integer format) for large number of diagnostics
892      - start to use DIAGNOSTICS_ADDTOLIST (necessary for diagnostics with
893        a counter mate) in pkg diagnostics, ptracers, thsice & aim_v23.
894    o add parameter rotateGrid and Euler angles EulerPhi/Theta/Psi. For
895      usingSphericalGrid, this allows to define the rotated grid coordinates
896      via phiMin/thetaMin/dxSpacing/dySpacing, etc., but then re-compute the
897      geographical coordinates according to the inverse of the rotation defined
898      by the Euler angles, so that Coriolis parameter and online-interpolation by
899      exf works with the geographical coordinates on XC/YC/XG/YG.
900      Naturally, this feature does not work with all packages, so some
901      combinations are prohibited in config_summary (flt, flt_zonal, ecco,
902      profiles), because there the coordinates are assumed to be regular
903      spherical grid coordinates.
904    o pkg/gmredi,ctrl,ecco,autodiff,grdchk and model/src,inc:
905      - introduce isopycnal diffusion coefficient control.
906    o tools/adjoint_options:
907      - additional control vector components.
908    o pkg/mnc: have mnc create marginally meaning full coordinate variables
909      (that is the grid indices) if usingCurvilinearGrid and NOT EXCH2
910    o pkg/mypackage:
911      - add example of read/write pickup for state-var ;
912      - add entry points to the main code for state-vars diags & write-pickup.
913    o pkg/exf: rewrite of exf_getffieldrec.F to properly deal with year
914      transitions for useExfYearlyFields
915      - add new subroutine that determines the file to read from for
916        use*YearlyFields = .TRUE. and .FALSE.
917      - add a verification experiment to global_with_exf that tests
918        useExfYearlyFields with USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION defined
919    o pkg/obcs/exf: add useOBCSYearlyFields (=.FALSE.) to obcs with exf in
920      analogy to useExfYearlyFields; rearrange obcs_prescribe_read: two new
921      subroutines (which could be generated from a template, because they are
922      almost identical), for now they are included in obcs_prescribe_read.F for
923      simplicity
924    o pkg/exf:
925      - add a little more diagnostic to exf_interp_read (in analogy to
926        mds_read_field, can be turned off with debugLevel < debugLevA=1)
927      - improve vectorizability of exf_interp for TARGET_NEC_SX, makes code
928        ugly but fast by unrolling short inner loops, inserting a unroll=8
929        directive in routine lagran, and splitting a loop and making do while the
930        outermost loop (the latter requires the intoduction of index arrays)
931    o pkg/obcs: replace obcs_apply_area/heff/hsalt/hsnow with obcs_apply_seaice
932    o pkg/seaice: moved DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE from seaice_model to seaice_dynsolver
933      http://forge.csail.mit.edu/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2008-January/003173.html
934    o verification/seaice_obcs: updated for restart test and latest options
935    o pkg/seaice: add a new flag SEAICEuseTEM to use a slightly different
936      ice rheology (so-called truncated ellipse, that gets rid of tensile stress);
937      for now this is only available for the C-grid code and also within
938      #ifdef SEAICE_ALLOW_TEM, because this option may slow down the EVP code
939    
940    checkpoint59m
941    o pkg/seaice: use different time constant for melting (SEAICE_gamma_t)
942      and freezing (SEAICE_gamma_t_frz) ice due to mixed layer temperature
943    o gad_som : fix flux output (& diagnostics) to have same units as other  
944      advection scheme fluxes (was previously multiplied by deltaT).  
945    o added verification/seaice_obcs both to test seaice open boundaries
946      and to provide an example matlab scrpt for generating them
947    o added verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume for testing pkg/salt_plume
948    o pkg/salt_plume: clean up salt_plume_frac.F to
949      remove redundancy in PlumeMethod 1 and 4
950    o pkg/kpp: added saltplume diagnostics
951    o pkg/obcs and pkg/seaice:
952      - do not set uice and vice to zero when OB*icefile are unspecified
953      - OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE is undefined by default
954      - moved seaice tracer obcs after call to seaice_growth
955    o pkg/salt_plume: added various options for salt plume depth
956      criterion and for vertical distribution of the salt
957    
958    checkpoint59l
959    o pkg/ptracers: new version of ptracers pickup:
960      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
961      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
962    o pkg/seaice:
963      - add timescale for melting due to warm mixed layer as a means of
964        setting SEAICE_availHeatFrac more conveniently
965      - add a CPP-flag/runtime parameter check for flooding algorithm
966      - reformulated availHeat in seaice_growth.F to be independent of AREA
967    o change units attribute of EmPmR netcdf variables to kg/m^2/s to reflect recent
968      unit changes
969    o pkg/obcs: added OBCS_SEAICE_AVOID_CONVERGENCE constraint
970    o cg2d.F: add 3 compiler directives that speed up this routine by 30% on a NEC
971      SX vector computer.
972    o pkg/seaice:
973      - removed SEAICE_FFIELDS.h and seaice_get_forcing.F
974        seaice forcing fields can now be read only through pkg/exf
975      - removed some unused halos
976    o no longer write pickup from THE_MODEL_MAIN but always from FORWARD_STEP
977    o pkg/exf: added useRelativeWind EXF_PARAM.h option for subtracting U/VVEL
978      or U/VICE from U/VWIND before computing U/VSTRESS
979    
980    checkpoint59k
981    o pkg/seaice: ICE2WATR=SEAICE_rhoIce/rhoConst for consistency between
982      dynamics and thermodynamics. Set ICE2WATR=0.92 to reproduce older results.
983    o fix un-initialised variable problem (in mom_vecinv & shap_filt):
984      all experiments pass when compile with un-initialised var. checking option.
985    o added pkg/salt_plume
986    o script to test restart (for now, in MITgcm_contrib/jmc_script)
987    o pkg/seaice: new read/write pickup version.
988      read meta file and write only fields which are needed to restart.
989      ( same logic as main pickup file ; also using pickupStrictlyMatch )
990    o pkg/seaice: fix bug in seaice_ocean_stress (call of seaice_calc_strainrates)
991    o lab_sea.hb87: modify the domain & update output.hb87.txt :
992      lat-long grid & no-slip BC in seaice-dynamics produce different sigma12
993      at j=1 & j=Ny+1 : this case is not treated correctly in the restart
994      process. Fixed here by closing the domain at the Northern boundary.
995    o pkg/rw: cleaning-up: call directly new MDSIO S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD.
996    o pkg/mdsio: add new arguments to MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD for reading/writing
997      a set of consecutive levels in/from a 3-D array.
998    o pkg/ptracers:
999      use a 2 characters string ioLabel to identify tracer (if more than 99 tracers).
1000      to-do: fix pkg/diagnostics when large number of diagnostics are defined.
1001    
1002    checkpoint59j
1003    o in pkgs: dic, obcs, offline, rbcs:
1004      standard way to compute coeff. for time interpolation between 2 time reccords
1005      which retains full precision (& make results less dependent on compiler).
1006      update output of exp: tutorial_cfc_offline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo.
1007    o pkg/cfc: if compiled with exf and seaice, cfc now can use fields from those
1008      packages instead of reading ice cover and wind speed separately
1009    o split PTRACERS.h in 2 header files: PTRACERS_FIELDS.h & PTRACERS_PARAMS.h
1010     (keep a temporary version of PTRACERS.h in verification/OpenAD/code_ad_openad
1011      to allow to compile customized code before the update)
1012    o cleaning-up:
1013      - fix CPP instruction syntax in pkg/obcs
1014      - replace (some) call to MDSIO S/R with call to RW interface S/R ; and
1015        add #ifdef ALLOW_MDSIO elsewhere (allows to compile without pkg/mdsio)
1016      - fix some threads issue in IO parts.
1017    o pkg/dic:
1018      - add tons of "_d 0" (--> much better testreports !)
1019       and then update outputs of tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
1020    o pkg/mom_fluxform:
1021      add a special version of momentum advection intended to conserve momentum
1022      next to a bathymetry step or a coastline edge. (default = off = #undef)
1023    o new read/write pickup version:
1024      - for now, only implemented for main (mdsio) pickup file.
1025      - write out only what is needed to restart; merge pickup_nh , pickup_ph
1026        and main pickup together.
1027      - read meta file; read only what is needed to restart; stop if a field
1028        is missing (if pickupStrictlyMatch=T, = the default) or try to restart
1029        if it make sense (even if the restart is not perfect).
1030      - if no meta file, assume that pickup to read corresponds exactly to
1031        a pickup that would currently be written.
1032      - read pickup written in the old format (until checkpoint59i) if it
1033        recognizes an old meta file (no field-list).
1034      - add a meta file in exp. which starts from a pickup: 2 cases:
1035        a) minimal meta file (with just file precision) + pickupStrictlyMatch=F
1036         e.g.: global_ocean.90x40x15/input/pickup.0000036000.meta
1037        b) a meta file describing the content of the associated pickup file
1038         e.g.: tutorial_global_oce_biogeo/input/pickup.0004248000.meta
1039    o pkg/mdsio & pkg/rw:
1040      - new routine to read a meta file ; new set of routine to read
1041        Multiple-fields file (with meta file).
1042    o added open boundary conditions capability for seaice
1043        HSNOW, HSALT, UICE, and VICE
1044    
1045    checkpoint59i
1046    o adjoint:
