4      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV      Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
5      ==============================      ==============================
6    
7    o pkg/seaice:
8      - seaice_calc_viscosity.F: change computation of deltaC**2 to ensure
9        positiveness, modify a few comments and improve variable names,
10      - the changed computation of deltaC affects most seaice-related
11        experiments at the truncation level.
12        seaice_itd.thermo is affected by far the most, with
13        only 7 digits of agreement remaining; update experiments.
14    
15    checkpoint65l (2015/05/04)
16    o pkg/shelfice:
17      - in shelfice_thermodynamics.F, if SHELFICEBoundaryLayer=.true., then set
18        factor drKp1 to zero where it is negative (ie. do not use
19        SHELFICEBoundaryLayer if hFacC>1)
20      - the same for factor drLoc in shelfice_forcing.F
21    o tools/genmake2: move FEXTRAFLAGS from FFLAGS to FOPTIM to avoid a problem
22        with modules in ptracers, when using testreport option "-small_f"
23    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F (in case of SEAICE_ITD)
24      - replace tmpscal1**1.36 by faster exp(1.36*log(tmpscal1))
25    o verification/testreport
26      - add new option -small_f
27        with this option testreport first makes the target small_f (*.f files)
28        before running make (all). This is useful for explicit inlining when
29        all sources need to be full available.
30    o pkg/exf/exf_interp.F:
31        remove previous changes related to reverse (decreasing) input grids latitude
32    
33    checkpoint65k (2015/04/01)
34    o pkg/ecco:
35        fix missing cosphi initialization; use eccoiter in place of optimcycle;
36        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
37        instead of active read/write
38    o pkg/ctrl:
39        if autodiff is not compiled then use READ_REC_XY_RL/READ_REC_XYZ_RL
40        instead of active read/write.
41    o pkg/autodiff: make autodiff_readparms.F and autodiff_whtapeio_sync.F
42        return if .NOT.useAUTODIFF
43    o pkg/seaice: add CPP brackets (cost function related).
44    o model/src:
45        add useAUTODIFF run time switch.
46    o pkg/exf/exf_interp.F:
47        add code to allow input grids with latitude starting in the north (i.e. when
48        j=1 corresponds to northern edge of field); modify global_with_exf to test
49        this feature.
50    o verification/testreport:
51      - replace "grep -A3" with POSIX conformal sed command, because there are
52        implementations of grep that cannot do contextual searches
53      - replace "cat -n" by "nl" (two occurrences), because not all implementations
54        of "cat" have the option "-n"
55    o model/src:
56        add new file gsw_teos10.F that contains 3 functions, more or less a copy
57        of the gsw_toolbox.f90 of the TEOS-10 fortran interface, that are used to
58        convert from conservative to potential temperature. For now they are not
59        called anywhere.
60    o pkg/ggl90: make "useIDEMIX" useful
61      - re-organize code in s/r ggl90_calc a little to move computations that
62        are different for idemix into separate loops (changes verification
63        experiment idemix at truncation level, 12 digits remain -> updated)
64      - requires 2 new 2D fields KappaM, verticalShear
65      - make hFacI and recip_hFacI local 3D variables that are passed to
66        s/r ggl90_idemix
67      - fix and improve some comments
68    
69    checkpoint65j (2015/02/25)
70    o pkg/openad
71      - synchronize seawater.F with version in model/src: replace routine
72        body of sw_temp by calling sw_ptmp and fix/add a few comments.
73    o pkg/mnc:
74      - change default value of pickup_read/write_mnc params to FALSE
75        (since few features are missing in reading MNC pickup files).
76    o model/src:
77      - change default (background) vertical diffusivity for salt to be the
78        temperature (background) vertical diffusivity.
79      - change background vertical diffusivity in vertical mixing pkgs ggl90,
80        kl10, my82 and pp81 from temperature diffusivity to salinity diffusivity.
81        This makes ptracers default diffusivity (that uses salt diffKr) more
82        consistent with vertical mixing schemes.
83    o verification/testreport:
84      - fix typo in "-pcls" option ;
85      - put temp files in /tmp (instead of in local dir)
86      - add option "-ncad" to use genmake2 new option "-nocat4ad"
87      - allow to use "-j" option (for multi-procs make) for AD, OAD and TLM.
88    o pkg/ggl90 (idemix code):
89      - apply few fixes ; add some missing "_d 0" ; update output of exp.
90        global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
91    o OpenAD
92      - enable active file I/O and begin removal of work-around code
93        for OpenAD for handling control variables (memory vs. active files)
94      - new CPP options file OPENAD_OPTIONS.h
95      - revert to genarr2d gradient check for hs94.1x64x5
96      - (genarr3d tested by tutorial_global_oce_biogeo, tutorial_tracer_adjsens)
97      - gentim2d works for halfpipe_streamice but not yet hs94.1x64x5
98    o tools/genmake2:
99      - add option for an alternative Makefile (from Martin) where multiple
100        source files are sent to TAF (instead of all in one file).
101    o pkg/ggl90: add IDEMIX (Olbers and Eden, 2013)
102      - code provided by Carsten Eden as an extension of ggl90
103      - so far the code is turned on within ggl90 by setting a CPP-flag at
104        compile time; a runtime flag implementation is not yet complete
105      - tested in new verification experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.idemix
106    o verification:
107      - reduce length of the AD test run by half for experiments
108        global_ocean.cs32x15 (std + thsice) and isomip
109      - enable active file I/O for OpenAD, adjust verifications accordingly
110      - halfpipe_streamice: change gradient check from genarr2d to gentim2d
111    o verification/testreport:
112      - fix two non-POSIX sed statements so that there are no error messages
113        on Mac OS X
114      - replace hostname -s with hostname | sed 's/\..*$//'
115    o model/src/seawater.F:
116      - simplify SW_TEMP to just calling SW_PTMP with P and PR exchanged
117        (following the matlab code), which would have avoided the bug caught
118        by Matt (see below) in the first place
119    o pkg/shelfice:
120      - implement alternative discretisation of quadratic drag (selectBotDragQuadr)
121        and true distance in no-slip BC (bottomVisc_pCell) similar to bottom-drag.
122      - fix sign of friction tendency (no-slip BC) and fix u,v drag for thin
123        ice-shelf case (i.e., within surface level).
124      - add config summary in shelfice_check.F
125      - remove global variable recip_SHELFICElatentHeat and replace by a local
126        variable recip_latentHeat
127      - introduce diagnostics for friction velocity uStar (in case of
128        SHELFICEuseGammaFrict)
129      - change verification experiment isomip.htd:
130        + start from pickup (as input_ad at nIter0=8640)
131        + start from SHELFICEmassFile instead of SHELFICEloadAnomaly file
132        + test SHELFICEuseGammaFrict = .TRUE.
133        + test SHELFICEadvDiffHeatFlux = .TRUE.
134    o model/src:
135      - fix bug (Thanks to Matt) in function SW_TEMP (to convert Pot.Temp to
136        in-situ Temp) and in routine SW_TEMP (in pkg/openad);
137        update output of experiments global_with_exf.yearly and isomip (all 6).
138    o pkg/shelfice:
139      - change setting of kTopC to also be zero where there is no ice-shelf.
140      - zero out surface forcing arrays (for now, for T & S + EmPmR) where
141        ice-shelf is.
142      - first attempt to get RealFreshWaterFlux effects: for now, only without
143        SHELFICEboundaryLayer ; not consistent if using synchronous time-stepping.
144    o pkg/seaice: add the option to prescribe a fixed thickness PDF
145      for thermodynamic calculations
146      - because of divisions of the type 7/7 not exactly equal to 1, this change
147        affects results of some verification experiments by up to 4 digits:
148        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice, lab_sea, lab_sea.fd, lab_sea.salt_plume,
149        seaice_obcs, seaice_obcs.seaiceSponge, seaice_obcs.tides
150        adjoint: lab_sea, lab_sea.noseaicedyn
151        -> updated
152    
153    checkpoint65i (2015/01/23)
154    o model/src:
155      - change units of frictionHeating field from W to W/m^2
156      - fix bug in frictional heating from stratospheric drag in
157        S/R ATM_PHYS_TENDENCY_APPLY_V
158      - with synchronous time-stepping: move resetting to zero of frictionHeating
159        field from load_fields_driver.F to thermodynamics.F ;
160      - add diagnostics for frictional heating.
161    o model/src & gmredi K3D:
162      - add frictionHeating field to pickup-files (for synchronous time-stepping)
163      - move ALLOW_EDDYPSI block out of DYNVARS.h and merge it into FFIELDS.h
164      - rename uMean,vMean --> uEulerMean,vEulerMean (+ change diagnostics name
165        and name in pickup file).
166      - fix arguments of few DIAGNOSTICS_FILL calls in gmredi_k3d.F
167    o model/src:
168      - move (from ini_forcing.F) initialisation of all arrays in header file
169        FFIELDS.h into new S/R ini_ffields.F ; this fix broken restart
170        (since Nov 2012) with option selectAddFluid=1.
171    o pkg/shelfice:
172      - change units (+ document) of newly added field "shelfIceMassDynTendency"
173      - upgrade from _RS to _RL shelficeMass & shelficeLoadAnomaly arrays.
174    o pkg/obcs: re-organize obcs_calc_stevens.F to prepare for passive tracers
175    o pkg/seaice: two new runtime parameters:
176      - SEAICE_cStar replaces the hard wired "20" in the strength formulation,
177        long overdue
178      - SEAICE_tensilFac: preparation for Koenig-Beatty+Holland (2012)
179        parameterization of tensil stress for fast ice (does not do anything yet)
180    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: left over from restricted addtive Schwarz method
181        for LSR: move checking overlaps out of JFNK-if-block
182    o pkg/atm_phys:
183      - move copy of grid and dynamical fields out of atm_phys_driver.F into
184        new S/R ATM_PHYS_DYN2PHYS.
185      - fix level height for Linear Free-Surf case (to be consistent with
186        fixed-in-time pressure levels).
187    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
188      - average bottomDragFld (ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL) from grid-cell center
189        to correct location (U & V point) in S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
190        update output (adm & tlm) of experiment global_ocean.90x40x15.bottomdrag.
191    o pkg/shelfice (u/v_drag):
192      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG;
193      - use SHELFICEDragLinear & SHELFICEDragQuadratic in shelfice_v_drag.F
194        (now similar to shelfice_u_drag.F)
195      - remove condition on bottomDragTerms when calling SHELFICE_U/V_DRAG
196        from mom_vecinv.F (similar to mom_fluxform calls).
197    o pkg/mom_common (bottomdrag):
198      - add one argument (the other velocity component) to S/R MOM_U/V_BOTTOMDRAG;
199      - add options for alternative discretisation of velocity norm in quadratic
200        bottom drag: averaging of grid-cell-center KE to U.point and V.point
201        (selectBotDragQuadr=0, original code) can produce noisy patterns; this
202        improves when averaging only the other component (e.g. vVel for U bottom
203        drag) using wet-point method (selectBotDragQuadr=2) or not (=1).
204      - add options (bottomVisc_pCell) to account for partial-cell in bottom
205        friction (no-slip BC) thus getting the true distance from the bottom;
206        off by default since this also reduces model stability (explicit bottom
207        friction). Changes produce different machine truncation with linear-drag
208        + no-slip BC: update output of experiments exp4.stevens (10 digits) and
209        front_relax (bvp & mxl, 10 & 11 digits).
210    o model/src & mom pkgs:
211      - add one more level to vertical viscosity local arrays (Nr+1, previously Nr)
212        since no-slip bottom BC uses viscosity @ k+1 to update velocity @ level k
213      - for now and until vertical mixing scheme are updated to fill up level Nr+1,
214        just copy level Nr value to level Nr+1.
215    o doc:
216      - add notes form Abhisek Chakraborty on how to close Heat & Salt budgets.
217    o pkg/streamice:
218      - shelfice_init_varia.F, shelfice_init_fixed.F, shelfice_readparms.F,
219        SHELFICE.h: move array shelficemass to init_varia, initialise
220        from array shelficemassinit, which is set in init_fixed and
221        has option to be set from file; introduce array
222        shelficeMassDynTend array, set thru file in init_fixed
223      - NEW FILE: shelfice_step_icemass.F: update shelficemass from either
224        shelfIceFreshWaterFlux and shelficeMassDynTend or H_streamice in
225        pkg/streamice
226      - shelfice_thermodynamics.F: call shelfice_step_icemass if
227        SHELFICEMassStepping = .true.
228      - shelfice_ad_diff.list: add new subroutine shelfice_step_icemass.f
229    
230    checkpoint65h (2014/12/17)
231    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15, global_ocean_ebm:
232      - update to generic controls.
233    o pkg/ctrl:
234      - ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F: test for igen>0
235      - ctrl_init_variables.F: add call to CTRL_MAP_INI_GENTIM2D.
236      - move gentim2d part of ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F to
237        new separate routine : ctrl_map_ini_gentim2d.F
238      - ctrl_cost_driver.F,ctrl_init.F ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
239        add time variable weights and cyclic controls (time mean,
240        seasonal cycle, etc) capabilities to gentim2d
241    o pkg/ecco:
242      - move reading of error, conversion to weights from
243        ecco_cost_init_fixed.F to ecco_toolbox.F (ecco_readwei)
244    o global_oce_llc90, cs32:
245      - activte sbo.
246      - CTRL_SIZE.h : add maxCtrlProc.
247      - activate the new genctrl capabilities.
248      - update following reorganization of global_oce_input_fields.tar.gz  
249    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_ad_diff.list:
250      - add missing ctrl_init_rec.f
251    o tools/OAD_support/keepOriginal:
252      - add ctrl_init_rec.F
253    o model/src/the_main_loop.F, pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F:
254      - avoid recomputations of xx_gentim2d_dummy.
255    o momentum diagnostics:
256      - move filling of diagnostics Um_Diss & Vm_Diss from mom_fluxform.F and
257        mom_vecinv.F to timestep.F (to include Smag-3D contribution).
258    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F:
259      - fix computation of BU/BV, make sure they are non-zero, only necessary
260        for cubed sphere exchanges and SEAICE_OLx/y>0.
261        This makes calling s/r fill_cs_corner_rl obsolete (removed).
262    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
263      - add test for strong implicit coupling and restricted addtive Schwarz
264        methods for LSR
265      - update results/output.seaice.txt
266    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
267      - AD & OAD set-up: switch off ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (like in fwd set-up)
268        and set PTRACERS_EvPrRn(1,2) to zero (for DIC & ALK);
269        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
270    o pkg/dic:
271      - change default to "#undef ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX" in DIC_OPTIONS.h
272      - add a stop when ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX is defined and PTRACERS_EvPrRn
273        for tracer 1 & 2 is set (to avoid double counting of dilution effect).
274    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
275      - AD & OAD set-up: do not set PTRACERS_EvPrRn for tracer 1 & 2 since
276        dilution is already added by pkg/dic ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX ;
277        update output_adm,_oadm,_tlm.txt
278    o eesupp/src:
279      - add fill_cs_corner_rl.F (_RL-copy of fill_cs_corner_rs.F)
280        and call it in seaice_lsr when using nonzero SEAICE_OLx/y
281    o pkg/seaice: introduce strongly implicit coupling, intended for stabilizing
282      LSR (following Hutchings et al. 2004)
283      - introduce zetaZ as a global variable (requires adjustments in
284        seaice_evp.F and seaice_jfnk.F) and compute analoguously to etaZ
285        in seaice_calc_viscosities.F
286      - new flag SEAICEuseStrImpCpl (default off)
287      - add new terms zetaZ*du/dy and zetaZ*dv/dx on both sides of the
288        momentum equations
289      - JFNK-solver (preconditioner) adjusted to allow using this method
290        (where it does not have any positive effect)
291    o pkg/seaice
292      - add overlap for restrictive additive Schwartz method also to LSR, but
293        turn it off by default (because it only seems to work for non-cubed
294        sphere/llc topologies)
295    o pkg/autodiff
296      - add extra exchanges in addummy_in_steppging also for mnc output
297    o pkg/seaice:
298      - add extra exchanges before dumping adjoint fields in seaice_ad_dump.F
299        to avoid stripes in the adjoint output (similar to addummy_in_stepping.F)
300    o pkg/obcs:
301      - add option to specify domain-connected piece Id along OB though files
302        (for now, only used to diagnose PhiVel; default =1 -> global correction)
303      - modify obcs_diag_balance.F to process each connected-part separately;
304        exclude OB where Id = 0 but keep the full divergence there (-> constant
305        Psi along this portion of OB and all inflow derived from grad(Phi))
306      - add example of OB-conect files in verification/so_box_biogeo/input.
307    o pkg/diagnostics:
308      - improve treatment of Open-Boundaries in Velocity-Potential calculation:
309      a) use non zero matrix element across OB and solve for Phi 1 grid point
310         outside OB (i.e, where tracer OBCS are applied).
311      b) global imbalance of inFlow/outFlow across OB: instead of modifying
312         velocity across OB, spread it uniformly along the OB in the RHS.
313    
314    checkpoint65g (2014/11/19)
315    o pkg/diagnostcis:
316      - add preconditioner off-diagonal factor (diagCG_pcOffDFac) as run-time param
317    o pkg/my82,pp81,kl10:
318      - fix ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR implementation (previously had no effect): use 3-D
319        field diffKr as background diffusivity to set minimum diffusivity value.
320    o pkg/seaice:
321      - add new parameter SEAICEuseEVPrev (for revisited EVP by
322        Bouillon et al 2013)
323      - add SEAICE_evpAlpha/Beta to namelist
324      - modify seaice_evp code to able to use SEAICEuseEVPrev. These changes
325        involve trivial re-ordering of divisions/multiplications that should not
326        have any effects, but ... they do change the results of lab_sea.hb87 so
327        that only 2 digits of agreement remain, in line with the general
328        instability/fragility of the evp-code. For now, I do not care and just
329        update the verification experiment
330    o pkg/ctrl : add generic pre-processing (xx_genarr2d_preproc etc)
331      - remove xx_genarr2d_numsmooth etc
332      - use xx_genarr2d_preproc etc instead
333      - carry out smooth_correl2D at initialization stage rather than during
334        time stepping.
335      - get smoothOpNb from xx_gentim2d_preproc
336    o global_oce_cs32 :
337      - add test of generic ecco capabilities.
338    o pkg/exf/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F :
339      - add to tmpUE/tmpVN rather than re-initializing them (conventional behavior).
340    o pkg/ctrl,ecco :
341      - omit un-necessary arguments to ctrl_cost_gen.F unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED
342        is defined.
343    o pkg/seaice: add diagnostics for Delta (deformation parameter)
344    o model/src:
345      - when ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR is defined, add a Warning if any of the vertical
346        diffusivity (background) is specified but ignored.
347    o verification:
348      - in testreport, convert hostname to lower case for default output dir name
349    o model, pkg : add useCTRL, useECCO parameters (on/off run time switch).
350    o pkg/dic: add modifications from Hajoon:
351      - add iron sedimentation flux function of the flux of PO4 out of bottom layer
352      - light attenuation: add self-shading effect by climatological Chlorophyll
353        (read from file).
354    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F : fix cpp flags, so that code also
355        compiles when SEAICE_ALLOW_DYNAMICS is undefined
356    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now use separate
357        AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h, ECCO_OPTIONS.h rather than
358        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (i.e. replacing the deprecated, circumvoluted,
359        approach where CPP_OPTIONS.h includes an omnipotent
360        ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h that superseeds pkgs '_OPTIONS.h').
361    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F : include GMREDI_OPTIONS.h where
362        ALLOW_3D_KAPGM, ALLOW_3D_KAPREDI (to be added later) belong.
363    o pkg/seaice/SEAICE_SIZE.h : replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC with ALLOW_AUTODIFF
364        to avoid needing AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h anytime SEAICE_SIZE.h is included
365        (it seems that THSICE_SIZE.h, PTRACERS_SIZE.h have the same issue...)
366    o model/src, pkg/smooth, profiles, salt_plume, seaice, exf, ecco, ctrl :
367      add ECCO_OPTIONS.h, AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, CTRL_OPTIONS.h when needed
368      - ECCO_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ecco_cost.h, ecco.h
369      - AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h is needed when including tamc.h, tamc_keys.h
370      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h is needed when including ctrl.h, optim.h, etc
371    o pkg/ctrl,ecco,exf :
372      - remove variables associated with NON-generic costs,
373        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
374      - remove NON-generic NON-obcs controls,
375        unless ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED is defined.
376    o pkg/ctrl : added ctrl_local_params.h
377    o pkg/ecco : added ecco_local_params.h
378    o verification : added ECCO_CTRL_DEPRECATED to most as and oad
379        experiments, which will progressively be removed once the
380        experiments are revised to use only generic controls/costs.
381    
382    checkpoint65f (2014/10/13)
383    o pkg/ctrl, ecco, seaice : minor changes in headers
384    o global_oce_llc90,cs32 : ecco_v4 verification exps now test generic
385        cost function and control capabilities added since checkpoint65c.
386    o pkg/ctrl: regroup all obcs ctrl variables in CTRL_OBCS.h.
387    o pkg/ecco: increase modularity and improve logic
388      - ecco_toolbox.F (new) : basic operations that are often used,
389        including ecco_zero, ecco_cp, ecco_cprsrl, ecco_diffmsk,
390        ecco_addcost, ecco_add, ecco_div, ecco_readbar.
391      - cost_gencal.F (new) : determine filnames and records.
392      - cost_genread.F, cost_generic.F : condense code using ecco_toolbox.
393      - cost_generic.F : use spzeroloc rather than hard-coded -9999,
394        and exploit the above functions leading to more compact code.
395      - cost_genread.F : rm un-necessary arguments, re-arrange args order.
396      - ecco_check.F, ecco_readparms.F : bring logic up to date (using_tpj,
397        using_ers, using_gfo, using_mdt is now only defined within gencost)
398    o pkg/ecco: extend generic cost capabilities
399      - pkg/ecco : added 3D gencost (ALLOW_GENCOST3D), added gencost
400        capabilities via gencost_preproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params),
401        gencost_posproc (+ _c,_i,_r related params), gencost_nrecperiod,
402        gencost_outputlevel arguments to cost_generic
403      - pkg/ecco/cost_genread.F (new) : interface between cost_generic
404        and active_read, making room for gencost_preproc to take effect.
405        Added preproc code ('climmon') to replace GENERIC_BAR_MONTH.
406      - pkg/ecco/cost_generic.F :
407        compute and store misfit maks*(model-data) in localdif that is
408        then used in cost and for output, output misfit if outlev.GT.0
409      - pkg/ecco/cost_averagesfields.F : depend on gencost_barskip
410        rather gencost_barfile for deciding whether to write barfile
411      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_driver.F : extract call to cost_profiles from cost_hyd
412      - pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_init_fixed.F : extract gencost weights from
413        ecco_cost_weights, re-activate ecco_summary, determine gencost_barskip
414      - pkg/ecco/ecco_summary.F : report gencost variables
415      - pkg/ecco/cost_gencost_customize.F : treat case of scatterometer costs
416    o pkg/sea/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h : add ALLOW_COST_ICE, ALLOW_SEAICE_COST_SMR_AREA
417    o pkg/ecco: internal re-organization
418      - resolve un-necessary dependancies within pkg/ecco and to pkg/ctrl
419        (rm includes of optim.h and ctrl.h, replace optimcycle with eccoiter,
420        mv relevant variables definition from ecco_cost.h to ecco.h,
421        make sure gencost routines only include ecco.h)
422      - throughout : add missing CCP switches, rm unused variables,
423        and rm un-necessary CPP switches
424      - throughout gencost routines : replace modelstartdate with
425        gencost_startdate when needed
426      - cost_bp_read.F : use arguments, instead of common blocs
427        so that it can be used also by (new) cost_gencost_bpv4.F
428      - ecco_init_varia.F : initialize RHOsumGlob_0, VOLsumGlob_0
429      - ecco_phys.F : compute etanFull
430      - ecco_readparms.F : rename using_topex as using_tpj, add
431        bpv4-grace to gencost list, initialize added parameters
432      - ecco_summary.F : include SIZE.h needed for augmented ecco.h
433    
434    checkpoint65e (2014/09/28)
435    o pkg/obcs:
436      - replaced the just-added CPP options with run-time variables
437        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_PARAMS.h for details)
438    o pkg/obcs:
439      - add additional CPP options for sponge boundary layers
440        (see pkg/obcs/OBCS_OPTIONS.h for details)
441    o pkg/atm_phys:
442      - implement simple (obliquity only, assuming circular planet orbit)
443        seasonal cycle for incoming insolation ; used when run-time parameter
444        "select_incSW" is set to 1 ; by default (=0), uses old unchanged formula.
445    o pkg/exf, pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl:
446      - add ctrlUseGen and .NOT.ctrlUseGen exclusive brackets
447      - activate gentim2d for xx_atemp,xx_aqh,xx_swdown,xx_lwdown,xx_precip
448      - implement gentim2d for xx_tauu, xx_tauv
449    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/ecco :
450      - fix and complement the generic controls implementation
451    o pkg/exf/exf_getclim.F, exf_getffields.F, exf_getsurfacefluxes.F,
452        pkg/shelfice/shelfice_thermodynamics.F,
453        verification/hs94.1x64x5/code_ad/ctrl_map_gentim2d.F,
454        verification/hs94.1x64x5/code_oad/ctrl_map_gentim2d.F :
455      - add weight in CTRL_GET_GEN calls
456    o pkg/ctrl :
457      - ctrl_get_gen.F : add weight as input parameter, and apply
458        it directly rather than using smooth_correl2Dw (to be retired).
459      - ctrl_map_gentim2d.F : add wgentim2d in CTRL_GET_GEN call
460    o pkg/ctrl :
461      - introduce run time switch ctrlUseGen (in ctrl.h, ctrl_check.F,
462        ctrl_init_variables.F, ctrl_readparms.F, ctrl_summary.F)
463      - re-activate ctrl_summary (call in ctrl_init.F)
464    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_cost_gen.F :
465      - fix CCP brackets, remove un-necessary myiter, mytime
466    o pkg/ecco, pkg/ctrl :
467      - remove cost_genctrl.F (now pkg/ctrl/ctrl_cost_driver.F)
468      - remove cost_forcing_gen.F (now pkg/ctrl/ctrl_cost_gen2d.F)
469      - add ctrl_cost_driver.F (replaces pkg/ecco/cost_genctrl.F)
470      - add ctrl_cost_gen2d.F (replaces pkg/ecco/cost_forcing_gen.F)
471    
472    checkpoint65d (2014/09/15)
473    o pkg/ctrl/CTRL_GENARR.h, ctrl_readparms.F :
474      - add xx_genarr2d_bounds,xx_genarr3d_bounds,
475        xx_genarr2d_numsmooth, xx_genarr3d_numsmooth
476    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F :
477      - remove compilation failure
478      - replace hard coded example
479      - use ctrl_map_ini_gen2D, 3D
480    o pkg/ctrl/ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F :
481      - on/off switch based upon xx_genarr2d_weight,3d
482    o src/packages_init_variables.F :
483      - regroup pkg/estimation calls
484      - remove CTRL_MAP_INI, CTRL_MAP_INI_ECCO
485        (moved to ctrl_init_variables)
486    o cost/cost_init_varia.F :
487      - remove ecco_cost_init_varia
488        (moved to ecco_init_varia)
489    o ctrl/ctrl_init_variables.F :

491      - add CTRL_MAP_INI_GENARR, SEAICE_CTRL_MAP_INI
492    o ctrl/ctrl_map_ini.F :
493      - remove ctrl_map_ini_genarr, seaice_ctrl_map_ini
494        (moved to ctrl_init_variables)
495    o ctrl/ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F :
496      - remove ECCO_PHYS (mv to ecco_init_varia)
497      - remove seaice_ctrl_map_ini (mv to ctrl_init_variables)
498    o ecco/ecco_ad_diff.list :
499      - add ecco_init_varia.f
500    o ecco/ecco_init_varia.F
501      - new routine
502    o pkg/streamice:
503      - move call to STREAMICE_INITIALIZE_PETSC from the_model_main.F
504        to streamice_init_fixed.F ; fix setting of STREAMICEisOn.
505      - from model/src, only call pkg/streamice routines if useStreamIce is TRUE.
506    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
507      - fix bug causing negatives in GAD_SMOLARKIEWICZ_HACK, introduced 8/8/2014.
508    o pkg/exf:
509      - exf_getffields.F : add xxg_atemp, xxg_aqh, xxg_swdown, xxg_lwdown,
510         xxg_precip capability
511      - exf_wind.F : no need for ALLOW_WSPEED_CONTROL cpp switch
512    o pkg/ctrl:
513      - ctrl_pack.F, ctrl_unpack.F : omit (un)packing of undefined xx_gentim2d
514    o model/src/load_fields_driver.F :
515      - move call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D ahead of BULKF_FIELDS_LOAD, EXF_GETFORCING
516        so xx_gentim2d can be applied to e.g. exf fields in a timely manner.
517    o OpenAD verification experiments:
518      - Include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h, and CTRL_OPTIONS.h
519        in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h);
520        for now, only in pkgs used in OpenAD verification experiments.
521      - Change all except one (halfpipe_streamice) OpenAD experiments to use pkg
522        specific option file (AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h & CTRL_OPTIONS.h)
523        instead of using ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h (with all relevant options in it).
524        This applies to both TAF (*/code_ad/) and OpenAD (*/code_oad/) tests.
525    o OpenAD verification tests:
526      - finish removing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD (replaced by ALLOW_OPENAD);
527      - finish replacing ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for
528        tape/storage which are specific to TAF/TAMC) in pkgs used in OpenAD exp.
529      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undef in OpenAD verification tests (*/code_oad/)
530        and remove local copy of "tamc.h" (needed only if ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC).
531    o model/src & generic_advdiff:
532      - change hard-coded loop-range in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T/S to set T & S
533        forcing over 0:sNx+1, 0:sNy=1 (instead of just 1:sNx,1:sNy): Model
534        dynamics requires valid tracer forcing only over tile interior but, for
535        some diagnostics, may need to extend it over 1 point in tile halo region.
536      - in gad_calc_rhs.F, update calls to gmredi_x/ytransport to get valid
537        tendency over i,j_Min,Max range. This allows to simplfy i,j_Min,Max
538        setting in temp/salt/ptracer_integrate.F
539    o pkg/dic:
540      - multiply tracer tendencies by maskInC (if ussing OBCS) before updating
541        gchem tracers: this allows to skip the 2nd call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER
542        in gchem_forcing_sep.F
543    o pkg/autodiff & obcs:
544      - add storage of current OB values for U & V (was already done for T & S).
545    
546    checkpoint65c (2014/08/30)
547    o pkg/dic:
548      - take out of dic_atmos.F the initialisation part (corresponding to istate=0)
549        and move it to new S/R DIC_INI_ATMOS ; also simplify the dependencies for
550        AD compilers (but still a Pb with multi-threading and Ajoint dependencies).
551    o verification:
552      - new experiment testing OBCS and DIC pkgs, using params & output from
553        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo but limited to a sub-domain around Drake
554        passage: take OBCS from the last year of a 2 yrs simulation and initial
555        conditions from t=1.yr while keeping the same forcing.
556    o model/src:
557      - when allowFreezing=T, only reset below freezing initial Temp to Tfreezing
558        (at any k) if checkIniTemp is not set to FALSE (default checkIniTemp=T).
559    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
560      - re-write S/R DIAGSTATS_CALC (more similar to TARGET_NEC_SX part) to:
561        a) refine region where stats are computed, excluding where arrhFac=0 ;
562        b) fix missing interior mask (use with OBCS) in 3-D fields statistics;
563        c) extend regional stats over the region edges (for U or V pt location).
564    o pkg/gchem:
565      - add a (2nd) call to OBCS_APPLY_PTRACER in gchem_forcing_sep.F (needed since
566        pkg/dic is currently changing/updating ptracers values beyond the OB).
567    o verification (hs94):
568      - convert Held & Suarez external_forcing.F (from hs94.cs, with Sigma-coords
569        bits) to apply_forcing.F and undef USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING in experiments
570        hs94.cs-32x32x5 and tutorial_held_suarez_cs ; also use the same version of
571        apply_forcing.F in 2D hs94 (fwd, ad & oad) but keep LatLon hs94 unchanged.
572    o pkg/ptracers:
573      - implement Adams-Bashforth on pTracers (instead of on tracer tendency),
574        switched on by setting PTRACERS_doAB_onGpTr=F (default set to doAB_onGtGs)
575      - change exp4 secondary test (input.nlfs) to test AB on T & S & pTracer
576        with AB-2 code (so that it get tested).
577    o model/src:
578      - allow to apply Adams-Bashforth on Temp & Salt (instead of on gT,gS)
579        with AB-2 code (previously only available with AB-3 code).
580        Also move the code (call to ADAMS_BASHFORTH S/R) form thermodynamics.F
581        to temp/salt_integrate.F (since the 2nd part of gt/sNm1 update is done
582        there, by calling CYCLE_AB_TRACER).
583    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
584      - change Tracer argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R GAD_CALC_RHS,
585        GAD_C2_ADV_R, GAD_U3_ADV_R, GAD_C4_ADV_R, GAD_DIFF_R, GAD_BIHARM_R
586        + also in GMREDI_X/Y/RTRANSPORT ; and update corresponding calls in
587        S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
588    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
589      - remove common block variables gT,gS (in DYNVARS.h), except when
590         USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING is defined; update TAF storage accordingly.
591      - remove common block variable gPtr.
592    o model/src & pkgs:
593      - change gTracer (and/or tracer) argument (drop bi,bj indices) in S/R
594         ADAMS_BASHFORTH(2&3), CYCLE_(AB_)TRACER, FREESURF_RESCALE_G,
595         IMPLDIFF, SOLVE_TRIDIAGONAL & _PENTADIAGONAL, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
596         GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_CALC_RHS, GAD_IMPLICIT_R, TIMEAVE_CUMUL_DIF_1T
597      + change accordingly all calling S/R.
598      - use local temperature/salinity/ptracer tendency array (without bi,bj)
599        in S/R temp/salt/ptracers_integrate.F
600    o pkg/seaice:
601      - move computation of stress contributions to rhsU/V in s/r seaice_lsr
602        to separate s/r seaice_lsr_rhsu/v in order to be able to re-use code
603      - make u/vIceC local variables if SEAICE_CGRID is defined only to be used
604        in seaice_lsr
605      - seaice_lsr.F: make local 4D arrays UXX, VYY, etc 2D
606        in s/r seaice_lsr_calc_coeffs
607    o pkg/mdsio:
608      - in MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD, stop if file-name (+prefix) is too long
609        (e.g., > MAX_LEN_MBUF -90 ) or, in INI_MODEL_IO, if mdsioLocalDir is
610        too long (e.g., > MAX_LEN_FNAM/2 )
611    
612    checkpoint65b (2014/08/12)
613    o pkg/matrix:
614      - pass, as argument, updated tracer field to S/R MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP
615    o model/src:
616      - fix initialisation of geothermalFile; compile geothermal-flux code in
617        natl_box verification experiment.
618    o model/src & pkg/down_slope:
619      - push the k loop inside S/R TIMESTEP_TRACER (now called outside the k loop).
620      - in dwnslp_apply.F, update tracer tendency instead of the future tracer
621        field and call S/R DWNSLP_APPLY before TIMESTEP_TRACER; this affects
622        results at machine truncation level: update output of experiments
623        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp (FWD) and lab_sea.noseaicedyn (AD).
624    o pkg/diagnostics (Stats-Diags):
625      - do not cumulate the full volume when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is
626        called with bibjFlg < 0 (no increment of the counter for 2D/3D diag);
627        This fix the mean statistics when DIAGNOSTICS_FILL is called multiple
628        times (but Min,Max and StD are still wrong).
629    o model/src:
630      - add geothermal flux forcing: read in ini_forcing.F as time-constant
631        field "geothermalFlux" applied in S/R APPLY_FORCING_T (apply_forcing.F)
632    o model/src:
633      - move CYCLE_TRACER calls from tracers_correction_step.F to temp/salt/ptracer
634        _integrate.F so that, when leaving S/R THERMODYANMICS, theta,salt and pTrac
635        arrays are already updated while adjustments (filters, conv.adjustment) are
636        still applied later, in S/R TRACERS_CORRECTION_STEP.
637    o model/src:
638      - store in common bloc array "rhoInSitu" the virtual potential temperature
639        anomaly that is used to compute geopotential: this make the atmos code
640        more similar to ocean code which already uses rhoInSitu in calc_phi_hyd.F
641    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
642      - rename integer variable ilcall to ipass (that's what it is called
643        in the residual diagnostics
644      - change time stepping for NPSEUDOTIMESTEP > 2 (does not change the
645        default) for improved non-linear convergence of the first few steps
646      - adjust a few comments and add new ones to explain some of the store
647        directives
648    o pkg/generic_advdiff (& ptracers):
649      - re-work the code to check for valid advection scheme and for minimum
650        size of overlap (now stored in local common bloc in gad_advscheme.F)
651    o pkg/seaice: another attempt to make the adjoint work for sea ice dynamics
652      - re-initialize more variables in seaice_lsr: u/vIceC, u/vIceNm1
653      - add an auxilliary variable "bet" and fix store directives and keys in
654        seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, this seems to do the trick (i.e. more or
655        less exact gradients in my tests); but there are still
656        recomputation warning (although gradients are sort of OK), when
657        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE is not defined, so this flag and
658        SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA are recommended for efficiency.
659      - update verification experiments lab_sea.
660      - change some comments in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
661    o model/src:
662      - if staggerTimeStep=T, always apply exchange to velocity field in
663        do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F instead of in do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F
664        (independent of using multi-dim advection or not); no effect on FWD run
665        but affects AD results (at machine truncation level): update output of
666        experiment 1D_ocean_ice_column (ad: 12 digits), hs94.1x64x5 (ad,oad: 13.d)
667        and isomip (oad: 12.d).
668    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
669      - stop if doAB_onGtGs is set to FALSE but ignored
670      - refine warning related to stability of tracer time-stepping
671        regarding internal wave dynamics.
672      - setting of AdamsBashforth_T,S when doAB_onGtGs=F: remove condition
673        on staggerTimeStep & implicitIntGravWave (will now get a warning
674        if potentially unstable).
675    o pkg/kl10:
676      - add new pkg "kl10" for mixing due to internal wave breaking, from
677        http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1463500310000144
678        (contribution from Jody Klymak), tested in verification experiment
679        verification/internal_wave/input.kl10/
680    o isomip experiment:
681      - test pkg/shelfice with Non-Lin Free-Surf in one of the FWD set-up
682        (input.htd) and update the output.
683    o cd_code experiments:
684      - use default cd_code options (#undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM &
685        #undef CD_CODE_NO_AB_CORIOLIS) in experiments: cfc_example (fwd)
686        global_ocean.90x40x15 (ad & oad) and OpenAD (ad & oad) and
687        update the corresponding output.
688    o pkg/seaice:
689      - reduce the number of include files and store directives in
690        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
691      - change the order of loops in one case in S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv
692        (only for SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA defined), which allows me to
693        get rid off one store directive (a TAF bug?)
694      - add one more instance of ifdef SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in
695        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagv to change the loop range for consistency
696      - remove ilcall, m from parameter list of S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
697      - fix a bug that affects the JFNK solver: replace sNx/y by i/jMax in
698        S/R seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v (requires update of
699        offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk)
700    
701    checkpoint65a (2014/07/27)
702    o model/src:
703      - Non-Lin Free-Surf in p/z coords: allows hFacW,S to be larger than
704        surrounding hFacC=1 @ edge of a step with different kSurfC on either side
705        (topo in p-coords, ice-shelf in z-coords); update output of experiments
706        tutorial_global_oce_in_p and isomip (both AD and OpenAD output).
707    o model/src:
708      - collect momentum forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
709        to apply_forcing S/R); this simplifies mom. Forcing diagnostics and CD_CODE
710        parts in timestep.F (without CD_CODE_NO_AB_MOMENTUM defined = the default);
711        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., if using OBCS_SPONGE).
712      - collect T & S forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument to
713        apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for temp & salt forcing tendency.
714        affects results at machine truncation level (e.g., ocean: if using
715        SHORTWAVE_HEATING ; atmos: if using FrictionHeating or (atm_Rq<>0) moist
716        correction due to vertical advection).
717      - update output of experiments: fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (13 digits),
718        global_ocean.cs32x15 (fwd: icedyn, seaice, thsice, all 3 @ 11d; adm & tml:
719        seaice_dynmix & thsice, fwd grd @ 3 & 8), hs94.1x64x5 (ad grd @ 13),
720        obcs_ctrl (ad & fwd grd @ 12 & 7).
721    o pkg/ptracers & diagnostics:
722      - use ptracers (short) name (instead of long one) to make ptracers diagnostics
723        title (to avoid some unexpected truncation); sort out ptracers diags units.
724      - collect ptracer forcing tendency into local 2-D array (passed as argument
725        to apply_forcing S/R); add 3-D diagnostics for ptracers forcing tendency.
726    
727    checkpoint65 (2014/07/18)
728    o pkg/fizhi:
729      - add parenthesis around fizhi tendencies in fizhi_tendency_apply.F: this
730        affects results at machine truncation level. Update output of experiments
731        fizhi-cs-32x32x40 (12 digits for cg2d) & fizhi-cs-aqualev20 (13 digits).
732    o pkg/seaice: more clean up
733      - rename TAF common block tapes to be more consistent and remove
734        unnecessary duplicates
735      - add store directives to remove more recomputations, but use smaller
736        tapes (and adjust keys) when SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER is undefined.
737        The idea behind this flag is to reduce the memory footprint when the
738        adjoint of the LSR is not required. As of now, defining the flag
739        SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER increases 4 common block tapes for 2D field by
740        a factor of SOLV_MAX_FIXED (=500 by default in SEAICE_SIZE.h).
741        For experiment offline_exf_seaice, this means on a linux box with gfortran
742        nearly a factor of 10 (but keep in mind there is mostly seaice code in
743        this experiment):
744        > size mitgcmuv_ad
745        text    data        bss     dec        hex
746        5100659 1216  220458952  225560827  d71c8fb
747        5339425 1200 1868783272 1874123897 6fb4dc79 (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
748        but only a moderate increase of 36% for global_ocean.cs32x15:
749        text    data        bss     dec        hex
750        6695027 1648 1014578664 1021275339 3cdf6ccb
751        6695203 1648 1382505320 1389202171 52cd8afb (SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER)
752      - note: there are still recomputations in global_ocean.cs32x15 and
753        offline_exf_seaice and the gradient agreement changes (gets a
754        little worse) for global_ocean.cs32x15 (-> update output_adm.seaice.txt)
755      - in general, the AD gradients still are wrong
756    o OpenAD
757      - clean up code_oad/ directories somewhat by moving files
758        dontCompile, dontTransform, keepOriginal to OAD_support/
759    o model/src:
760      - using MOM fluxform and Non-Lin Free-Surf with momDissip_In_AB=F
761        (not currently tested): add dissipation terms before NLFS rescaling of
762        tendencies (previously done after).
763    o pkg/diagnostics:
764      - write stats-diags in ascii file with more digits (same as in monitor).
765    o pkg/down_slope:
766      - drop the bi,bj dimension of argument recip_hFac in S/R DWNSLP_APPLY; with
767        NLFS (not tested), use new recip_hFac value in order to conserve tracer.
768    o model/src:
769      - new file "apply_forcing.F" containing all the code previously in
770        external_forcing.F, but with new argument list: pass, as new argument,
771        the current level tendency array to update (instead of a direct update
772        of the common bloc array). Change the corresponding calls.
773      - add CPP option USE_OLD_EXTERNAL_FORCING (default is undef) to use
774        EXTERNAL_FORCING_U,V,T,S subroutines (for backward compatibility).
775    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr, a little bit of clean up
776      - rearrange some code blocks, so that now all calculations for
777        setting up the right-hand-sides done within one single block
778        (I find that easier to read and understand)
779      - rearrange freedrift-code to reduce the number of ifdefs
780      - adjust some indentations and comments
781    
782    checkpoint64z (2014/07/10)
783    o model/src and several pkgs:
784      - change argument list of all S/R called from external_forcing.F and
785        called from ptracers_forcing.F (renamed to ptracers_apply_forcing.F)
786        to pass, as argument, the current level tendency array to update
787        (instead of a direct update of the common bloc array).
788      - change also (in the same way) argument list of PTRACERS_APPLY_FORCING;
789      - rename taueddy_external_forcing.f to taueddy_tendency_apply.F
790    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
791      - always initialize local arrays in seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
792      - add more local tapes to seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
793      - move storing u/vice(:,:,bi,bj) out of seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v, but
794        keep it in bi/bj loop; this seems to be essential
795      - gradients are still wrong but only by 4-7 orders of magnitude
796        instead of 15 orders of magnitude, lab_sea improves a little
797    o pkg/seaice
798      - (pkg/autodiff) remove storing/restoring of seaiceMaskU/V that
799        generates unnecessary code in seaice_lsr_ad
800      - add more store directives in seaice_lsr to avoid unnecessary code
801        in seaice_lsr_ad
802      - exclude some residual computations in seaice_lsr when
803        ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC is defined in order to avoid unnecessary code
804        in seaice_lsr_ad
805      - add more storing, a new tape (model/src/the_main_loop.F) and
806        another key for SEAICE_LSR_VECTORIZE_ZEBRA (the local keys ilockey
807        and klockey should be checked by a specialist)
808      - modify ( define SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER )
809        and update lab_sea after previous changes in pkg/seaice below
810    o pkg/autodiff:
811      - introduce useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode, SEAICEapproxLevInAd, and
812        viscFacInAd : run time parameters allowing for adjoint switches
813        note : logic for useSmoothCorrel2DinAdMode is in ctrl_readparms.F
814    o pkg/ecco:
815      - introduce cost_gencost_boxmean.F that computes a box mean
816        temperature (for use in adjoint sensitivity studies).
817    o model/src/set_defaults.F : initialize viscFacAdj to 1.
818    o pkg/mom_common/mom_calc_visc.F:
819      - ifdef ALLOW_AUTODIFF then include viscFacAdj factor.
820    o pkg/seaice/seaice_summary.F:
821      - statement for SEAICEadjMODE now in autodiff_readparms.F
822    o pkg/seaice:
823      - remove some store directives and add new ones in an effort to get
824        finally rid off the recomputation warnings. This is successful
825        when SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR ***and*** SEAICE_LSR_ADJOINT_ITER are
826        defined (i.e. no extensive recomputation warnings left), but there
827        are still too many recomputations on the solver iteration level
828      - define SEAICE_VECTORISZE_LSR in offline_exf_seaice/code_ad/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
829      - move definition of MPSEUDOTIMESTEPS into TAMC-block in
830        SEAICE_SIZE.h
831      - add a store directive in S/R seaice_calc_viscosities
832    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
833      - fix definition of Hlimit for multi-threaded case
834      - use double precision arithmetic to compute Hlimit: this affects results;
835        update output of experiment seaice_itd.
836    o replace content of verification/seaice_itd
837      - instead of a 1D column use the configuration of offline_exf_seaice
838        to test the ice thickness distribution code with ridging
839      - this is a first shot at this experiment
840      - change of some defaults of ridging parameters SEAICEhStar (from
841        100 to 25) and SEAICEmuRidging (from 5 to 3) in seaice_readparms.F
842        and lot of new comments.
843    
844    checkpoint64y (2014/06/20)
845    o pkg/seaice/seaice_reg_ridge.F:
846      - modify the regularization of very small volumes of ice; only check
847        total volume HEFF, and do not apply correction to individual ice
848        classes because that leads to funny patterns in the heat and fw-fluxes
849        into the ocean. Adjust seaice_itd/results/output.txt
850      - replace nITD by SEAICE_multDim in loop-ranges
851    o pkg/exf:
852      - add code to process the case field period = -12. with UV interpolation.
853      - move debug print (formerly active when exf_verbose=T) from EXF_getFFieldRec
854        into S/R that calls it (i.e., exf_set_gen.F, exf_set_uv.F & obcs_exf_load.F)
855    o verification/global_with_exf:
856      - switch all fields period to -12. (was previously untested) in input/data.exf
857        (but keep secondary test ".yearly" unchanged); update the reference output.
858    o pkg/cal:
859      - new calendar type "noLeapYear" for 365 days calendar without any leap year.
860    o pkg/exf:
861      - new integer parameter "exf_debugLev" (default set to main model debugLevel)
862        to replace logical switch "exf_verbose"
863      - report in STDOUT when loading a new record (if exf_debugLev >= 3)
864    o pkg/sbo:
865      - update from Katherine Quinn: evaluate mass directly from density and SSH
866        (budget using Finite Volume method) instead of from bottom pressure.
867      - allow testreport to collect few selected SBO output ; tested in exp.
868        global_ocean.90x40x15 (after updating the results, to include SBO output).
869      - fix some multi-threading issues (in output part).
870    o model/src & most packages:
871      - always call {PKG}_READPARMS even if corresponding use{PKG}=F;
872      - in {PKG}_READPARMS, in case use{PKG}=F: add a call to new S/R
873        PACKAGES_UNUSED_MSG to print a weak warning when parameter file
874        "data.{pkg}" exist ; and leave the S/R (return) just after.
875      - more standard LAND pkg interface (land_init_fixed.F, land_check.F).
876        + call LAND_READPARMS from packages_readparms.F
877    o pkg/seaice:
878      - remove code that resets useThSice in S/R seaice_readparms and
879        replace it by a warning in S/R seaice_check
880      - remove parameter MULTDIM, replace with nITD and runtime
881        parameter SEAICE_multDim (still hard-wired to nITD if
882        SEAICE_ITD is defined)
883    
884    checkpoint64x (2014/05/24)
885    o verification/lab_sea:
886      - update adjoint and TLM output following changes to pkg/salt_plume
887      - un-do the update after putting back local recip_Cp in few places.
888    o pkg/salt_plume: modifications by An Nguyen:
889      - add capability to do brine rejection (salt-plume) as function of
890        volume+tracers (instead of only salinity tracer).
891      - conserve volume by exchanging volume from each kLev to above to
892        accommodate in-coming brine volume
893      - store surface and klev exchanged fraction + volume in 4 new 3-d arrays
894      - switch KPP surf buoyancy due to brine forcing to 3-d
895        (3 more 3-d arrays, 2 for SPforcing[T,S], 1 for boplume)
896      - add salt_plume_volfrac, salt_plume_apply, salt_plume_tendency_apply_t
897      - unrelatedly, also add ad-hoc capability to vary salt_plume scheme
898        in East/West Arctic.
899    o pkg/sbo:
900      - incorporate modifications from Katherine Quinn to enable the use of sbo
901        pkg in ECCO-v4 set-up ; remove SBO-TimeAve output ; add monitor-like
902        output for future testreport verification (unfinished).
903    o pkg/atm_phys:
904      - change diagnostics (AtPh_Trf & AtPh_Qrf) of DARGAN_BETTSMILLER S/R:
905        skip the reseting of t_ref & q_ref to initial t & q ; this preserve the
906        output of S/R CAPECALCNEW (Parcel temp & q) for diagnostics.
907    o pkg/seaice
908      seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: modify expression to avoid divisions
909        (affects truncation)
910      seaice_do_ridging.F: clean up the insectarium
911      - fix a bug that was compensated by areaScaling (-> remove areaScaling code)
912      - added SEAICEsnowFracRidge to redistributed snow (2nd bug)
913      - set closing/openingRate to zero where no extra iteration is need (3rd bug)
914      - add some debugging information and error messages (warnings)
915    o model/src: modifications relatd to atmosphere p*:
916      - Switch to more accurate p* coordinate slope term (calc_grad_phi_hyd.F)
917      - With p* or Sigma-P, use constant reference Pot.Temp (thetaConst) instead
918        of vertical profile tRef in geopotential background and anomaly.
919      - Acount for true p* correction in theta <-> T conversion in pkg/aim_v23
920        and pkg/atm_phys.
921      - Update FWD output of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs-32x32x40,
922        fizhi-cs-aqualev20, fizhi-gridalt-hs, tutorial_held_suarez_cs, cpl_aim+ocn.
923    o pkg/seaice: fix a bug in seaice_prepare_ridging.F, forgot a sqrt
924    o pkg/ptracers: compute ptracer source/sink due to linear free surface.
925        not used right now, but can be used in BGC packages to fix conservation.
926    o pkg/dic, pkg/gchem: move tracer_meanarea to gchem, so it can be used by
927        other packages too.
928    o pkg/seaice/seaice_calc_ice_strength.F: replace SEAICE_rhoSnow by
929        SEAICE_rhoIce in the Rothrock (1975)-type strength calculations (bug fix)
930    o model/src:
931      - since we have several heat capacity (even in model/src), define "recip_Cp"
932        as local variable (no longer in common block) to avoid any confusion.
933      - add thetaConst in PARAMS.h (to be used with pStar or sigma-P coords).
934    o pkg/exf:
935      - from Jeff Scott: add option (#define EXF_CALC_ATMRHO) to calculate local
936        air density as function of air Temp, Humidity and atm pressure.
937    
938    checkpoint64w (2014/05/02)
939    o verification:
940      - update output_adm.txt files for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15 (seaice &
941        seaice_dynmix) and lab_sea (primary test & noseaicedyn): moving/changing
942        code from seaice_growth.F & seaice_advdiff.F to new ridging routines
943        seaice_reg_ridge.F seaice_do_ridging.F affects AD gradient
944        (down to 8-7 matching digits for global_ocean and 5-6 for lab_sea).
945    o model/src: for atmosphere in p* coords:
946      - store factor rStarFacC**atm_kappa (= pStarFacK) in common block
947      - implement more accurate p* coordinate slope term (in calc_grad_phi_hyd.F),
948        but not yet activated.
949    o pkg/seaice: fix restart problem for ITD with new ice strength parameterisation:
950      - move computation of opnWtrFrac = 1-AREA to before computing ice strength
951      - this changes the results (but not for any verification experiment, because
952        none tests this), but avoids having an extra field in the restart files
953    o pkg/seaice: remove global variable TICE (not needed)
954      - replace by TICES or local variable where necessary (cost_seaice_test,
955        seaice_diagnostics_state)
956      - move copying TICE to TICES from seaice_check_pickup to seaice_read_pickup
957      - use specific read/write routines for reading and writing individual leves
958        of a multilevel field
959    o pkg/ctrl & model/inc:
960      - move additional anomaly fields of control vars (related to options:
961         ALLOW_KAPGM_CONTROL, ALLOW_KAPREDI_CONTROL and ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL)
962        from DYNVARS.h into new header file: CTRL_FIELDS.h
963    o pkg/seaice: some small modifications to the ridging code
964      - make fw2ObyRidge a global variable and add the freshwater flux to
965        seaice_growth
966      - pass actual thickness from seaice_prepare_ridging, so that it is
967        computed only in one place and compute it in the same way as in
968        seaice_growth
969      - initialise more fields in seaice_do_ridging that where cause floating
970        point exceptions over land
971    o pkg/seaice: preparations for ridging code and first real ridging code
972      - move most of "PART 1" of S/R seaice_growth into a new and separate
973        S/R seaice_reg_ridge that will both regularize the state variable after
974        advection call the actual ridging routine;
975      - requires to make 5 fields global fields: d_HEFFbyNEG,d_HSNWbyNEG,
976        d_AREAbyRLX,d_HEFFbyRLX,saltFluxAdjust;
977      - remove ridging code from seaice_advdiff
978      - clean up remaining part 1 of seaice_growth in an attempt to make it
979        more readable (this is probably subjective)
980      - call seaice_itd_redist once in the initialisation phase to have the initial
981        conditions in the correct category
982      - finally: add new ridging routine for ITD code
983    
984    checkpoint64v (2014/04/11)
985    o pkg/ecco:
986      - add runtime parameters mdt[start,end]date[1,2]
987      - rename variable "tpmean" as "mdt" and "topexmeanfile" as "mdtdatfile"
988    o pkg/seaice:
989      - make deltaC a global variable, so that it can be used in ridging code
990      - first step towards ridging: introduce new routines that compute
991        ice strength based on ridging parameters
992      - add diagnostic for HSNOWITD
993      - add opnWtrFrac as a global variable (required for ridging scheme)
994    o pkg/salt_plume + pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F
995      - add SALT_PLUME_IN_LEADS flag to activate pkg/salt_plume only when ice
996        AREA exceeds a threshold (code contributed by I.Fenty in 2011)
997    o verification/hs94.1x64x5:
998      - leave ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC undefined in code_oad/AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h
999      - do not use ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h anymore for TAF & OpenAD Adjoint tests.
1000    o autodiff:
1001      - Start to include explicitly AUTODIFF_OPTIONS.h, COST_OPTIONS.h,
1002        and CTRL_OPTIONS.h in src files (to enable to skip the ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h)
1003        For now, only in pkgs used in verification/hs94.1x64x5.
1004      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC by ALLOW_AUTODIFF (except for tape/storage
1005        which are specific to TAF/TAMC).
1006      - Replace ALLOW_AUTODIFF_OPENAD by ALLOW_OPENAD:
1007        since ALLOW_OPENAD is defined in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h (any time pkg/openad
1008        is compiled), this simplifies/reduces which *_OPTIONS.h file to include.
1009      - OpenAD: change Makefile to generate the appropriate AD_CONFIG.h when
1010        building mitgcmuv_ad (make adAll).
1011    o pkg/ecco:
1012      - cost_gencost_seaicev4.F:
1013         reformulate proxy cost as function of sst and local param SEAICE_freeze
1014         change cost names from siv4-[sst,vol] to siv4-[deconc,exconc]
1015      - add stop statement if old names siv4-[sst,vol] are used
1016      - add snapshots + cost reports for atmospheric longwave
1017      - remove factor 0.1 in front of wtau[u,v]
1018      - replace never used flag ALLOW_TMI_COST_CONTRIBUTION with
1019         ALLOW_TMI_SST_COST_CONTRIBUTION
1020    o pkg/atm_phys:
1021      - add some diagnostics for Short-wave and for convection S/R.
1022    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth:
1023      - fix a bug in the lateral melt parameterization for SEAICE_ITD
1024        in seaice_growth; tempFrz needs to be computed inside the i/j-loop
1025      - rearrange loop order for better vector code in the same code block
1026      - rewrite the floeDiameter formula to have fewer divisions
1027      -  (miraculously) none of this changes the results of seaice_itd
1028    o pkg/smooth:
1029      - move param smooth2Ddiffnbt to pkg/ecco
1030    o pkg/salt_plume:
1031      - salt_plume_frac.F:
1032         clean up local param names
1033         reformulate (1-frac) to frac; original 1-frac was based on swfrac code
1034    o pkg/rw:
1035      - add RS version of S/R READ_MFLDS_LEV.
1036    o pkg/streamice:
1037      - fix the restart test by writing/reading pickup_streamice files.
1038    o pkg/seaice:
1039      - refine checks for jfnk-related parameters
1040      - comment out if statement with SEAICEuseIMEX parameter as long as there
1041        is no IMEX code to avoid confusion and surprises
1042    
1043    checkpoint64u (2014/03/07)
1044    o verification/MLAdjust:
1045      - rename secondary test suffix:
1046         1.leith  -> A4FlxF  + switch to flux-form & add side-drag
1047         0.leithD -> AhFlxF  + switch to flux-form
1048         0.smag   -> AhVrDv  (use Vorticity-Div. visc form) + add side-drag
1049         0.leith  -> AhStTn  (use Strain-Tension visc form) + add side-drag
1050    o pkg/mom_vecinv:
1051      - remove unused arguments from S/R MOM_VI_HDISSIP & MOM_HDISSIP (as it used
1052        to be before mom_calc_visc.F)
1053      - skip the call to MOM_CALC_TENSION & MOM_CALC_STRAIN if not needed.
1054      - add 2nd copy of vort3 & strain that knows about lateral BC (free/no slip):
1055        this is simpler for the adjoint and for diagnostics.
1056    o model/src + pkg/momentum:
1057      - add input files for  2-D additional Western and Southern cell-edge wall
1058         (e.g., to add "thin-wall" where it is =1).
1059      - fix sideDrag option for thin-walls with Non-Lin Free-Surf
1060        using 2nd hFacZ that is computed from initial (fix domain) hFac
1061      - known limitations of thin wall implementation: not yet coded for sigma
1062        coords; not working with CD-scheme neither.
1063    o pkg/seaice:
1064      - rename recently introduced parameters from (wrong name) AB to
1065        BDF (backward difference time discretisation)
1066      - retire runtime parameters SEAICEuseAB2, SEAICE_abEps
1067    o tools/adjoint_options:
1068      - remove setting of "OPENAD=true" (now set by command line "genmake2 -oad")
1069    
1070    checkpoint64t (2014/02/01)
1071    o pkg/ecco
1072      - add compile flag ALLOW_GENCOST_TIMEVARY_WEIGHT in ECCO_OPTIONS.h and
1073        runtime logical flag gencost_timevaryweight to read daily sea-ice sigma
1074      - replace hard-coded record number and period which only work for monthly
1075        with read-in runtime param that works for other periods (month,day,year)
1076    o pkg/thsice
1077      - corrected store directive fixes thsice adjoint gradient checks
1078    o genmake2 & testreport:
1079      - add genmake2 option "-oad" to generate a Makefile for OpenAD built and
1080        in this case, use tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad as default AD optfile.
1081        Update testreport accordingly. No need to set "export OPENAD=true"
1082        in adjoint_options/adjoint_oad anymore (will be removed later).
1083    o pkg/shelfice:
1084      - put T & S shelfice forcing into model surfaceForcing_T,_S (for now,
1085        only if SHELFICEboundaryLayer=F); Change model/src/external_forcing.F
1086        so that surface forcing applies to k=kSurf if using pkg/shelfice.
1087    o pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk, pkg/ecco:
1088      - Changes to make GENARR more modular (i.e. invisible if not used)
1089    o model/src/temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F
1090      - re-include store directives that were removed on Dec 27th.
1091    o model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
1092      - add storage directives for EmPmR and PmEpR to avoid recomputation of
1093        seaice_model in the adjoint that is problematic when seaice_model is
1094        turned off in the adjoint. The resolved issue dated back to July when
1095        EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF call was moved.
1096        Update global_ocean.cs32x15/*/output_adm.seaice_dynmix.txt accordingly.
1097    o pkg/exf/exf_check.F
1098      - fix a small bug again (originally found by Wentao Liu, now found again)
1099      - streamline error output
1100    o pkg/streamice and aim_v23:
1101      - replace a few "_EXCH_XY_RL (" with "_EXCH_XY_RL(", so that
1102        Apple's /usr/bin/cpp knows what to do:
1103        Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
1104        Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
1105    
1106    checkpoint64s (2014/01/05)
1107    o tools/adjoint_options:
1108      - switch to fastopt.net TAF server (instead of default fastopt.de) for
1109        AD optfiles adjoint_diva & adjoint_f95 (similar to adjoint_default).
1110    o model/src:
1111      - remove some unnecessary TAF storage directives in forward_step.F and
1112        in dynamics.F (note: not always removed by TAF, e.g., double storage
1113        of kappaRU,kappaRV in former version of dynamics.F).
1114    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
1115      - call directly GAD_IMPLICIT_R & IMPLDIFF + DWNSLP_APPLY from temp_integrate.F
1116        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (instead of from thermodynamics.F)
1117        and remove ptracers_dwnslp_apply.F & ptracers_implicit.F
1118      - call MATRIX_STORE_TENDENCY_EXP for each tracer (in ptracers_integrate.F)
1119      - add fZon & fMer as output argument of S/R GAD_CALC_RHS.
1120      - update TAF AD-output of experiments global_ocean.90x40x15 (13 for AD-grad).
1121    o useSingleCpuInput separates single-CPU input from single-CPU output;
1122        for now only implemented for in exf_interp_read.F
1123    o verification/advect_xy:
1124      - fix missing EXCH call in local version of ini_salt.F and update output.
1125    o momentum diagnostics:
1126      - fix which deltaT is used in Total-Tendency diagnostics.
1127      - fix typo in diagnostics for momentum tendency from AB.
1128    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F: fix an initialisation bug for the
1129        SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA option that lead to NaNs on a NEC-SX8
1130    
1131    checkpoint64r (2013/12/08)
1132    o verification/*/results:
1133      - Update reference output of experiments that were passing with just 13 digits
1134         (make it easier to detect future changes in results)
1135    o model/src & pkg/ptracers:
1136      - move calls to GAD_ADVECTION (Multi-Dim advection) from thermodynamics.F to
1137        inside temp_integrate.F and salt_integrate.F and from ptracers_advection.F
1138        to inside ptracers_integrate.F ; remove ptracers_advection.F
1139    o coupling interface pkgs:
1140        [atm_compon_interf, ocn_compon_interf & atm_ocn_coupler]
1141      - change the config check to test the agreement of Ocean Depth
1142        with ATM land/sea mask (instead of ATM orography);
1143      - send to coupler the number of coupler time-steps to do for this run:
1144        this allows to check for consistency and don't need anymore to be
1145        specified in parameter file "data";
1146      in coupler:
1147      - check consistency of RunOff map versus Ocean Depth and ATM land/sea mask.
1148      - improve report to log-file of config setting (pass log-file unit to few S/R)
1149    o pkg/compon_communic:
1150      - add coupling send/receive for non-tiled integer vector;
1151      - add S/R to check and stop if any proc has an error (similar to
1152        eesupp/src/stop_if_error.F but single thread and across Comm_World).
1153    o pkg/exch2:
1154      - in exch2*_get_rx[1,2]: use new list "W2_tileIndex" to replace search
1155        through list of all tiles my proc owns.
1156    o model/src:
1157      - AUTODIFF only: in calc_adv_flow.F, recompute rTransKp (instead of copying
1158        from rTrans) to simplify dependencies (no need to store rTrans anymore in
1159        calling S/R); this affects AD results at machine truncation level:
1160        update AD-output (TAF) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
1161        bottom_ctrl_5x5 & obcs_ctrl (12 digits for AD grad, same FWD grad).
1162    o tools/build_options:
1163      - simplify Warnings options (-ieee & -devel cases) in linux_amd64_gfortran
1164    o coupling interface pkgs:
1165        [compon_communic, atm_compon_interf & ocn_compon_interf]
1166      - move declaration of local array "ibuf" out of header file "CPLR_SIG.h"
1167        to each S/R that needs it; remove un-used variables.
1168      - change component tile registration (cpl_register.F in both compon_interf
1169        and mitcomponent_tile_register.F) to pass the full list of tiles
1170        information (including bi,bj) in 1 vector (instead of in a bi,bj matrix).
1171      - with pkg/exch2: adopt the same convention used for I/O to define mapping
1172        towards coupler global array (unless W2_useE2ioLayOut=F):
1173         a) can now use different tiling between atm & ocn comp.
1174         b) no needs to modify the run-Off map when changing tiling (was needed
1175            even if using the same tiling between atm & ocn).
1176         c) will allow to run with blank-tiles in 1 component (e.g., for ocean
1177            full land tiles); not yet tested.
1178      - check for valid mapping from comp. tile to coupler global array
1179      - improve report of tile registration results to log file.
1180    o pkg/exch2:
1181      - in eesupp/src/eeboot.F: move call to W2_EEBOOT before Coupler
1182        tile-registration (CPL_REGISTER);
1183      - activate (un-comment) definition and setting of "W2_tileIndex" list to
1184        store the local bi,bj indices of each tile;
1185      - also print bi,bj in local report to log file;
1186      - fix pkg/debug/debug_cs_corner_uv.F for the case nSy > 1 (left from
1187        Jun 2009 modif of pkg/exch2).
1188    o testing on baudelaire:
1189      - run 2 tests at a time: no significant slow down (since enough cpu) and
1190        get the full set of test done earlier
1191      - switch the ifort test to "-devel" ; run the OpenAD test everyday.
1192    o model/src/thermodynamics.F and routines called from it:
1193      - pkg/gmredi: gmredi_residual_flow.F (replacing gmredi_calc_uvflow.F &
1194        gmredi_calc_wflow.F) to update eulerian velocity (input) into residual
1195        velocity (outp) by adding bolus velocity.
1196      - model/src: calc_adv_flow.F (replacing calc_common_factors.F) to compute
1197        mass transport from velocity + lateral grid cell area
1198      - rename calc_gt.F to temp_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
1199      - rename calc_gs.F to salt_integrate.F (includes call to TIMESTEP_TRACER)
1200     in thermodynamics.F
1201      - remove k from thermodynamics.F and move it to temp_integrate.F
1202        salt_integrate.F and ptracers_integrate.F (now done inside the tracer
1203        loop).
1204      - compute locally (in thermodynamics.F) 3-D velocity field that is used to
1205        advect tracers; pass it as argument to GAD_ADVECTION, GAD_SOM_ADVECT,
1206        PTRACERS_ADVECTION, TEMP_INTEGRATE, SALT_INTEGRATE, PTRACERS_INTEGRATE,
1207        GAD_IMPLICIT_R and PTRACERS_IMPLICIT
1208      - update AD-output (TAF & OAD) of experiments: 1D_ocean_ice_column,
1209        global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and
1210        tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ TLM output).
1211    o tools/OAD_support and (verification/*/) code_oad:
1212      - OAD_support/cb2mGetModules.csh: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h in header file to
1213        module conversion ; remove unneeded CPP_EEOPTIONS.h.
1214      - code_oad/CPP_OPTIONS.h: remove PACKAGES_CONFIG.h and use a more standard
1215        version (closer to model/inc/CPP_OPTIONS.h).
1216    o model/src:
1217      - remove parameter "useOldFreezing" from PARAMS.h and push it to the
1218        retired list of parameters (routine FREEZE has been replace by surface
1219        freezing (10.yrs ago) and by pkg/frazil (interior freezing).
1220    o pkg/gmredi:
1221      - add option (GM_CALC_TRANSP_FROM_VEL) to compute transport directly from
1222        velocity (same scheme but affects machine truncation) for GM_AdvForm.
1223      - update output of FWD experiments: front_relax.bvp,
1224        global_ocean.90x40x15.dwnslp, global_ocean.cs32x15 and ideal_2D_oce.
1225    
1226    checkpoint64q (2013/11/17)
1227    o verification:
1228      - generate new output on baudelaire (gfortran, -ieee) for OpenAD experiments
1229        tutorial_global_oce_biogeo and global_ocean.90x40x15.
1230      - generate new output (growth & melt) for seaice_itd experiment after
1231        updating the input pickup_seaice files (previously wrong).
1232    o pkg/cost:
1233      - define a "final cost function" for each tile, and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
1234        (instead of _GLOBAL_SUM_RL) to get the final cost from all procs & threads:
1235        o this fixes global-sum value if multi-threads (since GLOBAL_SUM_RL
1236          cannot be applied to var in common block).
1237        o allows to get results independent of tile-per-proc setting (if using
1238          slower GLOBAL_SUM_SEND_RECV option).
1239      - update accordingly: seaice_cost_final.F, shelfice_cost_final.F,
1240        thsice_cost_final.F and ecco_cost_final.F (this one affects lab_sea
1241        forward gradients: update output).
1242      - update */code_oad/externalDummies.F by adding dummy GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL
1243        S/R and, for most exp., also comment out GLOBAL_SUM_R8.
1244    o pkg/mom_common:
1245      - move to pkg/mom_common and model/src (previously in tutorial_deep_convection
1246        code) 2nd version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code interface: strain and
1247        viscosity are locally declared in dynmics.F and pass as argument to CALC_GW;
1248        ensure that all field value that are used are set.
1249    o tutorial_deep_convection (smag3d):
1250      - add missing scaling in mom_calc_smag_3d.F;
1251      - set smag3D_coeff in input.smag3d such that results do not change.
1252    o pkg/dic:
1253      - change dic_cost.F to compute cost on each tile first and then apply
1254        GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL: this affects forward gradient of AD experiments
1255        tutorial_dic_adjoffline & tutorial_global_oce_biogeo; update output.
1256      - remove kLev argument and use GLOBAL_SUM_TILE_RL in tracer_meanarea.
1257    o eesupp/src & pkg/mdsio:
1258      - remove gather/scatter_vector.F (from eesupp) and mdsio_read/writevector.F
1259        (from pkg/mdsio) since they are no longer used for tape IO.
1260      - move simple C subroutine "setdir.c" from pkg/compon_communic to eesupp/src
1261        (+ keep a copy in pkg/atm_ocn_coupler).
1262    o verification/isomip:
1263      - split domain in 8 squared tiles (instead of just 2) for FWD, AD & OAD tests.
1264    o tools/build_options:
1265      - optfile linux_amd64_ifort11, fast (no ieee) case:
1266        to get a working restart for all experiments, add "-fp-model source"
1267        to FOPTIM (also remove "-opt-streaming-stores auto" <- this is the default).
1268    
1269    checkpoint64p (2013/10/20)
1270    o pkg/autodiff:
1271      - adread_adwrite.F: when type and length do not match ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO
1272        criteria, return to simple (default) tape IO format.
1273    o pkg/mdsio (+ eesupp/src):
1274      - rewrite/simplify tape-IO S/R (new S/R MDS_READ/WRITE_TAPE replace
1275        previous MDSREAD/WRITEVECTOR) with 2 array argument from each type (R4/R8);
1276      - fix globalFile and singleCpuIO options using simpler global mapping.
1277      - new pairs of scatter/gather vector S/R (one for each type, generated from
1278        template) corresponding to simpler global mapping.
1279      - adread_write.F: switch to new S/R (but leave old calls commented) and write
1280        to globalFile when parameter globalFiles is set to True.
1281      - switch on useSingleCpuIO in AD experiments: global_ocean.90x40x15 & isomip.
1282    o pkg/autodiff:
1283      - adread_adwrite.F: add a hack for RS arrays (when RS=real*4);
1284        with ALLOW_AUTODIFF_WHTAPEIO defined, since corresponding (real*4) is
1285        missing, just add a STOP if array type do not match.
1286    o pkg/exf:
1287      - to allow to use seaice-fraction from pkg/exf in other pkgs than pkg/seaice:
1288         rename CPP option EXF_ALLOW_SEAICE_RELAX to EXF_SEAICE_FRACTION
1289         and rename array obsSIce to exf_iceFraction.
1290    o tutorial_deep_convection:
1291      - add 1rst version of isotropic 3-D Smagorinsky code (from Louis-Philippe),
1292        for now all in this exp. code dir.
1293      - add secondary test using Smag-3D viscosity (keep very low backgroud visc for
1294        testing) and flux-limter advection scheme for Temp. (no explicit diffusion).
1295    o eesupp/src:
1296      - added SINGLE_DISK_IO option because reading of parameter files on
1297        very large number of processors did not work with existing set-up
1298    
1299    checkpoint64o (2013/09/25)
1300    o pkg/atm_phys & atm_compon_interf:
1301      - allows for coupling of gray-atmosphere (atm_phys) with ocean.
1302    o tools/build_options:
1303      - switch from "-fPIC" to "-mcmodel=medium" in optfiles: linux_amd64_gfortran
1304        & linux_amd64_ifort11 and in linux_amd64_g77 & linux_amd64_open64 also
1305        remove CPP setting (was identical to genmake2 default).
1306    o pkg/gmredi & model/src: Some updating and work done on the residual model.
1307      - created new file model/src/calc_eddy_stress.F to calculate the eddy stress.
1308      - fixed up the calculation of the eddy stress and how it is added to the
1309        external forcing via taueddy_external_forcing.F
1310      - at the moment, it is very experimental and only works with the variable eddy
1311        diffusivity calculated in gmredi_k3d.F
1312    o pkg/seaice/seaice_check.F: add a check to catch the case of specifying
1313        lw/swfluxfile instead of lw/swdownfile in data.exf together with pkg/seaice
1314    o testreport (& tools/do_tst_2+2):
1315      - for MPI test, set default COMMAND to 'mpirun -v -np TR_NPROC ./{executable}'
1316    o tools/build_options: linux_amd64_gfortran & linux_amd64_ifort11:
1317      - remove CPP='cpp -traditional -P' (this is genmake2 default)
1318      - add switch (for big setups) to use 'medium' memory-model (but leave it
1319        commented out for now). Note: needed with FC 19 to compile big setups.
1320    o pkg/atm_compon_interf:
1321      - regroup per field origin (model & pkgs) the coupling storage routines
1322         (which accumalate in time each coupling field)
1323      - move bi,bj loops inside atm_store_my_data.F and store also wind-stress;
1324        update accordingly + simplify aim_do_physics.F
1325    
1326    checkpoint64n (2013/08/26)
1327    o pkg/bbl:
1328      - update formulation to reduce dispersion of tracer properties in bbl
1329      - replaced horizontal and vertical transport parameters with velocities
1330      - changes results for verification/global_with_exf.yearly
1331    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
1332      - change to matrix construction; update both Fwd & AD output.
1333    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
1334      - OpenAD test: switch to vector-invariant momentum since fluxform with
1335        rStar causes problems with OpenAD; update output.
1336    o tools:
1337      - genmake2: define a common prefix for all temp-file names ; move them
1338        to local /tmp disk (but would be easy to move them back);
1339      - xmakedepend: apply the same switch for temp-files.
1340    o pkg/offline:
1341      - changes for use with rStar (NLFS): assume that we continue to provide
1342        UVELMASS/hFacW_ini & VVELMASS/hFacS_ini (hFacWi,S_ini as written in grid
1343        output files) and apply r* scaling at each time-step (function of the time
1344        varying Eta field); use normal pickup files (needed for restart with NLFS).
1345    o adjoint with OpenAD:
1346      - move OpenAD-specific files from verification/OpenAD/code_oad_all to a new
1347        package openad.  This package has to be compiled for all runs with OpenAD
1348        instead of specifying code_oad_all as a modification directory.
1349      - link the fortran templates from tools/OAD_support to the build directory
1350        for preprocessing to avoid conflicts between different setups compiled
1351        simultaneously and simplify cleanup.
1352    o pkg/exf:
1353      - in exf_getforcing.F: comment out most of the EXCH calls (fields used by
1354        main model or other pkgs are exchanged in EXF_MAPFIELDS).
1355    o model/src:
1356      - do_stagger_fields_exchanges.F: skip EXCH calls when using pkg/offline
1357        (similar to do_fields_blocking_exchanges.F).
1358    o tools/genmake2:
1359      - remove TAF output src code just before calling staf (when not doing a fresh
1360        built, will stop if things go wrong with staf).
1361      - fix target "adobj" (left from TAF version-2 transition)
1362    o pkg/diagnostics:
1363      - add a parameter to track the status of pkg/diagnostics activation;
1364        this replace/extend the use of logical param "settingDiags" (to check
1365        when adding diag to the list) to also check any DIAGNOSTICS_[]FILL* call.
1366        New S/R to print error message and stop when pkgStatus is not right.
1367      - to try: add a warning when "data.diagnostics" exist but useDiagnostics=F.
1368    
1369    checkpoint64m (2013/08/13)
1370    o model/inc:
1371      - move FCORI_MACROS.h from PARAMS(_MACROS).h to GRID_MACROS.h (left from
1372        8 yrs ago modif when Coriolis arrays were moved from PARAMS.h to GRID.h)
1373    o pkg/kpp & aim_v23:
1374      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
1375    o pkg/seaice:
1376      - restore (last time on 2011/12/24) ability to compile pkg/seaice with
1377        undefined pkg/exf ALLOW_ATM_TEMP or ALLOW_RUNOFF CPP-options.
1378      - only call DIAGNOSTICS_FILL when useDiagnostics=TRUE.
1379    o eesupp/src:
1380      - fix check for overlap-size argument (myOLn.GT.MAX_OLY_EXCH)
1381        in exch1_rx[_ad].template (thanks to Francois Lefeuvre report).
1382    o switch to TAF version-2:
1383      - add flow directives to "freeze" naming convention for ad-routines that
1384        are used in I/O routines of adjoint state and associated common blocks
1385        that are used in adcommon.h (backward compatible with version-1)
1386      - update all ad-optfiles (in tools/adjoint_options + few local to some
1387        verification exp) to switch to latest TAF version (currently 2.5.5);
1388        merge "*_mpi" adoptfiles into the corresponding non-mpi (but commented
1389        out except for diva).
1390      - the major change with TAF version-2 is that both the differentiated
1391        routines and the forward routines (new) are returned as part of the TAF
1392        output source code. Update genmake2 accordingly.
1393      - new output for AD experiment tutorial_global_oce_biogeo (better AD gradient
1394        with version-2 when compared to TLM or FWD gradient); other experiments
1395        output show minor changes (machine truncation level); update the few AD &
1396        TLM output with 12 matching digits only (some prior to version-2 switch).
1397    
1398    checkpoint64l (2013/08/05)
1399    o model/src:
1400      - in dynamics.F, skip the call to CALC_VISCOSITY if momViscosity=F
1401      - main_do_loop.F: no longer includes additional (AUTODIFF) header files
1402        when using TAF but only if using OpenAD.
1403    o pkg/mom_common+fluxform+vecinv:
1404      - always set horiz. viscosity arrays to background value before calling
1405        MOM_CALC_VISC (in MOM_FLUXFORM & MOM_VECINV) and call S/R MOM_CALC_VISC
1406        only when using variable horiz. viscosity (useVariableVisc=T);
1407      - simplify mom_vecinv.F (only 1 block for momViscosity).
1408    o pkg/mom_common: variable horiz. viscosity in NH code
1409      - move horiz-viscosity 3-D arrays viscAh_W & viscA4_W (used in calc_gw.F)
1410        from model/inc/NH_VARS.h to pkg/mom_common/MOM_VISC.h
1411      - store in common block (in MOM_VISC.h) logical parameters: useHarmonicVisc,
1412        useBiharmonicVisc & useVariableVisc.
1413      - fix old bug (already in 1rst implementation of variable horizontal viscosity
1414        in calc_gw.F, version 1.27, 2006/06/20):
1415        horizontal bi-harmonic viscosity in gW was missing when wiscA4W=0
1416        even if variable bi-harmonic viscosity (e.g., viscA4Grid) was non-zero.
1417      - change background horiz viscosity in vertical momentum (gW) to always be
1418        viscAhW,viscA4W (instead of switching to viscAhD, viscA4D when using
1419        any type of variable viscosity, e.g., viscAh/4Grid)
1420      - change default value of viscAhW,viscA4W to viscAhD,viscA4D (instead of
1421        viscAh,viscA4) which default to viscAh,viscA4 :  this avoid missing
1422        horiz. viscosity in W eq when just setting viscAhD/Z,viscA4D/Z (since
1423        default viscAh,viscA4 is zero).
1424    o model/src:
1425      - extend length of drC & recip_drC from Nr to Nr+1.
1426    o Divided Adjoint (DIVA) with MPI:
1427      - genmake2: do not create local ./mpi_headers dir when no file to copy into.
1428      - remove option ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT_MPI (replaced by ALLOW_DIVIDED_ADJOINT
1429        and ALLOW_USE_MPI) from model/src code and from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h.
1430    
1431    checkpoint64k (2013/07/23)
1432    o tools/OAD_support:
1433      - avoid the need for file "oadtempflile" in insertTemplateDir.bash
1434        and remove it from genmake2.
1435    o tools/build_options:
1436      - remove MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC setting (no longer used) and comment out
1437        MPI_HEADER_FILES list (let genmake2 find the missing headers)
1438    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
1439      - change to driving stress formulation; update both Fwd & AD output.
1440    o tools/genmake2 and Divided Adjoint with MPI:
1441      - remove default setting of MPIINCLUDEDIR from $MPIHOME (always been broken);
1442      - only create local ./mpi_headers dir if using MPI and MPIINCLUDEDIR is set;
1443      - add new variable (LOCAL_MPI_HEADERS, replace MPI_HEADER_FILES_INC) in
1444        Makefile, which is set by genmake2, and check which mpi-headers are needed.
1445        Note: need to update adjoint_options/adjoint_diva_mpi accordingly.
1446      - update target "CLEAN" (to also remove ./mpi_headers/ dir).
1447    o testreport:
1448      - changes for Divided Adjoint Run: when file "run_ADM_DIVA" is present,
1449        perform additional runs (number of additional runs is "add_DIVA_runs" taken
1450        from file run_ADM_DIVA ; should match "nchklev_3" in file "code_ad/tamc.h").
1451    o verification/lab_sea (AD test):
1452      - change to test Divided Adjoint Run in this set-up (both standard AD test
1453        and 2 secondary AD test: noseaice + noseaicedyn); drop the evp AD test.
1454    o pkg atm_ & ocn_compon_interf:
1455      - remove cpl_earlyExpImpCall=F option (was mainly a hack added for the old
1456        staggerTimeStep implementation) and disable (retired) corresponding
1457        parameter.
1458    o pkg/offline:
1459      - comment out unused field-array: ICEM, ConvectCount, hflx[01], icem[01];
1460      - add S/R OFFLINE_CHECK to print offline parameter summary
1461        and stop if loading a file that is not used;
1462      - enable to calculate GMRedi tensor, KPP mixing and convective index
1463        when the corresponding file(s) is/are not specified (but pkg is used).
1464      - comment out resetting of monitorFreq (to endTime) since it still useful
1465        for monitoring CFL numbers and checking offline fields.
1466    o OpenAD:
1467      - do not define OAD_DEBUG (in tools/adjoint_options/adjoint_oad) to get
1468        smaller standard output) and generate new (smaller) output (on baudelaire
1469        using gfortran with -ieee) for exp. tutorial_tracer_adjsens
1470    o model/src:
1471      - call EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF outside bi,bj loops (in do_oceanic_phys.F),
1472        (where external_forcing_adjust was called) and change list of arguments;
1473      - merge external_forcing_adjust.F into external_forcing_surf.F
1474      - put surface relaxation of SST & SSS in new S/R (forcing_surf_relax.F)
1475        which also contains balancing surface relaxation (ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX,
1476        previously in file "balance_relax.F", now removed); remove corresponding
1477        arrays in FFIELDS.h.
1478      - EXTERNAL_FORCING_SURF is now called when using pkg/offline; implement
1479        a hack for getting back surfaceForcingS (loaded from file) when using
1480        ALLOW_OLD_VIRTUALFLUX (pkg/dic, in DIC_OPTIONS.h) in offline set-up.
1481      - update output of AD test experiment global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice_dynmix
1482        (was getting only 11 digits for AD-grad, due to different truncation
1483         error in AD code).
1484    
1485    checkpoint64j (2013/07/04)
1486    o pkg/offline:
1487      - to enable the use of other features with pkg offline (e.g., obcs),
1488        also call S/R DO_OCEANIC_PHYS in offline run - more modifs to come.
1489      - comment out "allowFreezing" (now active) in 2 offline testing exp.
1490    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
1491      - fix sign and make compatible with temp_EvPrRn .NE. UNSET_RL
1492      - ahdded RUNOFTEMP test to verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice
1493      - changes verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/results/output.seaice.txt
1494    o pkg/atm_phys:
1495      - allows to add some damping on uVel,vVel (strength only function of k).
1496    o verification, ad-tests:
1497      - reduce length of the simulation for AD test: global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice,
1498        global_ocean_ebm and offline_exf_seaice.thsice.
1499    o verification/halfpipe_streamice:
1500      - found a bug in s/r pkg/streamice/streamice_advect_thickness which caused
1501        flux input boundary conditions to be ignored; a fix for this bug changed
1502        verification results for forward test.
1503      - add adjoint test.
1504    o pkg/ptracers:
1505      - allow to restart without SOM pickup (resetting SOM to zero).
1506    o pkg/gmredi:
1507      - New parameterisation for the calculation of K and (GM_PsiX,GM_PsiY) added.
1508      - It uses mixing length theory and suppression by steering level effects to
1509        calculate a diffusivity used in the Redi tensor (see Bates et al., submitted
1510        to JPO, for more details).
1511      - It also uses the diffusivity to calculate an eddy induced streamfunction
1512        based on a PV closure (rather than a buoyancy closure as in GM).
1513      - New files added to pkg/gmredi:
1514        gmredi_k3d.F calculates the diffusivity for the Redi tensor and the eddy
1515          induced overturning streamfunction (called from gmredi_calc_tensor)
1516        gmredi_calc_eigs.F calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors required
1517          for use in gmredi_k3d
1518        gmredi_calc_urms.F calculates the the rms eddy velocity used to calculate
1519          the eddy diffusivity
1520    
1521    checkpoint64i (2013/06/18)
1522    o pkg/cheapaml:
1523      - take src files from MITgcm_contrib/verification_other/offline_cheapaml/code
1524        that enable the use of seaice (pkg/thsice thermo & pkg/seaice dynamics)
1525        with pkg/cheapaml.
1526    o utils/python: add subpackage for cubed sphere function, first example is
1527        simple cs.pcol to plot 2D fields on a map
1528    o pkg/streamice:
1529      - This is a new package in MITgcm, which solves dynamic equations for ice
1530         sheets and ice streams
1531      - At the moment it is independent of atmosphere/ocean dynamics, or any
1532        other physical packages in MITgcm, even ShelfIce (although it is anticipat-
1533        ed that this will change)
1534      - There is a new verification exercise that tests it, halfpipe_streamice,
1535        evolves a 40x80 km ice stream/ice shelf (at coarse resolution) in a
1536        rectangular embayment
1537      - halfpipe_streamice is forward-only for now, will have TAF test soon
1538      - for questions, email dgoldber@mit.edu
1539    o pkg/thsice:
1540      - fix filling of snow-precip diagnostic (SIsnwPrc) (left from the removing
1541        of snowPrc from common bloc, on May 2nd, thsice_step_fwd.F revision 1.40);
1542      - remove diagnostics 'SI_FrcFx' ( now identical to 'SI_Fract' with new
1543         call sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect );
1544      - allow precip from pkg/cheapaml to make snow over seaice.
1545    o pkg/cfc:
1546      - move in separated header file (CFC_ATMOS.h) time-serie arrays of Atmos CFC
1547      - remove atmos CFC 2-D arrays from common bloc (now local variables)
1548      - change some hard-coded constant to run time parameter for reading and
1549        and interpolating atmospheric CFC ; keep same default as previously.
1550      - more flexible reading of Atmos CFC (number of records no longer hard-coded)
1551      - put arguments in standard order: myTime, myIter, myThid
1552      - use standard S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL for time interpolation of
1553        atmospheric CFC ; fix for the case myIter < PTRACERS_iter0.
1554      - fix calculation of surf tendencys for partial-cell and/or Non-Lin Free-Surf
1555      - new routine to print summary of CFC params and check for consistency.
1556    o pkg/seaice: add uice/vice to the parameter list of s/r seaice_advdiff,
1557      similar to thsice_advdiff.
1558      Note that for the B-grid case the routine parameters uc/vc are overwritten.
1559    o pkg/cfc:
1560      - change time interpolation for atmospheric CFC-11 (now same as for CFC-12);
1561        update output (CFC-11) of experiment cfc_example and tutorial_cfc_offline.
1562      - fix interpolation of atmphspheric CFC between Sorthern and Northern
1563        hemisphere value.
1564    o pkg/seaice:
1565      - allow to use seaice dynamics without pkg/exf (e.g., using pkg/cheapaml)
1566    o pkg/seaice: add Adams-Bashforth2 time discretization for ice dynamics;
1567                  so far only for JFNK-solver, turn on with SEAICEuseAB2 = .TRUE.
1568      - requires an additional time level that is stored in the pickup
1569      - you can start with AB2 from a pickup without this time level with
1570        pickupStrictlyMatch = .false.
1571    
1572    checkpoint64h (2013/05/26)
1573    o pkg/cheapaml:
1574      - replace one ()**.5 with SQRT + use temp var "cdu = tau/Du" (coare3_flux);
1575        affect machine truncation (but exp cheapAML_box still pass with 13 digits).
1576      - consistent treatment of uWind,vWind location: assume everywhere in
1577        pkg/cheapaml that they are on C-grid (@ uVel,vVel location)
1578        (Note: was already the case for Tair,Qair advection);
1579        add option (INCONSISTENT_WIND_LOCATION) to recover old results.
1580      - compute diabatic forcing only in the interior (excluding overlap regions)
1581      - fill in array "Qsw" (for short-wave heating);
1582      - add diagnostic for precip ; fill-in diagnostics for cheapAML state vars
1583        before any update (consistent with MITgcm state var diagnostics);
1584      - cheapaml_fields_load.F & cheapaml_init_varia.F : only fill outer edges if
1585        non periodic ; + adjusted for uWind,vWind (C-grid).
1586    o pkg/seaice:
1587      - remove dependence of pkg/seaice versus pkg/exf (file: pkg/pkg_depend) and
1588        add explicitly pkg/exf in experiments that currently use pkg/seaice.
1589      - allows to compile pkg/seaice without pkg/exf.
1590    o tools/OAD_support:
1591      - use a local copy (ourRWCPinBd) to ensure index ourRWCP stays within bounds
1592        of array "ourStepOf" in function rvNextAction (revolve.F90).
1593    o pkg/aim_compon_interf renamed to pkg/atm_compon_interf
1594      - change pkg name (to be used with other atmospheric physics pkg)
1595        but by-pass CVS when making the new pkg so that we keep the CVS history.
1596    o pkg/offline:
1597      - call OFFLINE_FIELDS_LOAD from pkg/offline/offline_init_varia.F
1598        (previously called from pkg/dic_surfforcing_init.F)
1599    o model/src:
1600      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_init_variables.F, using
1601        standard order, except for:
1602         DIAGNOSTICS_INIT_VARIA and OFFLINE_INIT_VARIA (called @ the top),
1603         CTRL_MAP_INI and OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES (called @ the bottom)
1604    o new pkg: atm_phys
1605      - add entry point and source code (previously in contrib
1606          verification_other/atm_gray/code_gray/) for new pkg "atm_phys"
1607        (atmospheric physics pkg from P. O'Gorman and T. Schneider, JCl, 2008).
1608      - re-order sequence of calls within packages_readparms.F,
1609         packages_init_fixed.F and packages_write_pickup.F
1610        (but skip packages_init_variables.F because of TAF issues).
1611      - update contrib/*/atm_gray/ experiment.
1612    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
1613      - simplify and fix the writing of pickup-files for ITD case
1614    o pkg/seaice (ITD code):
1615      - introduce floe size dependent lateral melt for ITD case;
1616      - cleaning (avoid division by zero, change to f77 syntax, remove tabs)
1617      - update seaice_itd experiment main output.
1618    o pkg/thsice:
1619      - remove snowPrc from common block THSICE_FLUX, in THSICE_VARS.h and
1620        declared it locally (without bi,bj) in thsice_main.F & aim_do_physics.F;
1621        changed accordingly pkg/atm2d.
1622    
1623    checkpoint64g (2013/05/01)
1624    o pkg/exf ALLOW_RUNOFTEMP
1625      - if defined,  river and glacier runoff temperature can be read-in from
1626        runoftempfile; runoftempfile needs to have same format as runofffile
1627    o pkg/thsice (& pkg/bulk_force):
1628      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
1629        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap (like with pkg/exf).
1630      - change computation domain to always be the interior (without overlap).
1631      - fix bug (wrong overlap) when using EXF and stressReduction > 0.
1632    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1633      - add preliminary OpenAD setup (still has problems)
1634    o pkg/seaice:
1635      - turn some parameters for choosing the convergence criterion of
1636        the inexact Newton method (JFNK) into runtime parameters for convenience
1637      - clean up seaice_calc_viscosities.F: remove/retire two options for
1638        SEAICetaZmethod (1,2), introduce area weighting for method 3; this changes
1639        the results of lab_sea/input because a division has been replaced by
1640        a multiplication with the reciprocal (sumNorm)
1641      - modify offline_exf_seaice/input.dyn_jfnk/data.seaice to improve
1642        convergence of solver (changes results, of course), and to test some
1643        new features
1644    o model/src:
1645      - remove unused (since Aug 2006) S/R SET_WRITE_GLOBAL_PICKUP and its call.
1646      - remove unused forcing field "dQdT" and associated parameter "dQdTFile".
1647      - move forcing adjustment (balancing surface forcing) in specific S/R
1648        where might also be applied exchanges (if needed) to forcing arrays.
1649    o pkg/shelfice:
1650      - allow to specify the Ice-Shelf mass per unit area (instead of
1651        shelficeLoadAnomaly) and do the conversion from one to the other
1652      - move loading from file of shelficeLoadAnomaly from SHELFICE_INIT_VARIA
1653        to SHELFICE_INIT_FIXED: (a) avoid some TAF recompution issues and
1654        (b) will be loaded in time (before calling INI_PRESSURE) in case it is
1655        needed in phi0surf for initial pressure calculation when useDynP_inEos_Zc
1656      - update isomip experiment forward output (get machine truncation error
1657        from conversion shelficeLoadAnomaly -> shelficeMass -> shelficeLoadAnomaly)
1658    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1659      revise data.seaice in input.thermo and input_ad and update results accordingly
1660        HO = 0.2, SEAICE_areaLossFormula = 2,
1661        SEAICE_growMeltByConv = .TRUE.,
1662        SEAICE_doOpenWaterMelt = .TRUE.,
1663      Improve consistency with input.thsice and fix the spurious 500m ice corners
1664    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
1665      - set Energy Reference Level to liq. water @ 0 degC: temp_EvPrRn=0.,
1666        in icedyn (thsice+seaice-dyn) test and update output.
1667    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1668      - adjust list of tested variables (with testreport) and update
1669        standard test output with better slection of monitored fields.
1670    o pkg/cd_code:
1671      - swtich off Adams-Bashforth on the 1rst iteration. Update output of
1672        experiment lab_sea.hb87
1673    o tools/genmake2:
1674      - change default makedepend from the system default to tools/xmakedepend:
1675        When no makedepend is specified, select tools/xmakedepend it the test pass,
1676        otherwise select the system default (if exist and pass the test) or
1677        try to build cyrus-makedepend ; stop if none of the 3 works.
1678    o pkg/exf & pkg/thsice:
1679      - In case Energy-Reference-Level (ERL) is used (temp_EvPrRn=0), account
1680        for energy content of Precip + RunOff & Evap. Assumes:
1681       1) Rain has same temp as Air.
1682       2) Snow has no heat capacity (consistent with seaice & thsice pkgs)
1683       3) Run-Off comes at the temp of surface water (with same Cp)
1684       4) Evap over ocean is released to the Atmos @ surf-temp (=SST); should be
1685        put directly into Latent Heat flux & should use water-vapor heat capacity.
1686       5) Evap over snow/seaice (pkg/thsice) assumes constant Lf+Lv (consistent
1687        with snow having no Cp) => water vapor is released to Atmos @ 0^oC (=ERL).
1688    o pkg/seaice: simplify the use of CPP flags in JFNK-related files
1689        (compile when SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK is defined)
1690    o pkg/thsice:
1691      - fix oceanic flux diagnostics & timeave (left from new sequence of calls
1692        implementation): move THSICE_AVE call after the advection (called directly
1693        from thsice_do_advect.F).
1694    o verification/global_ocean.90x40x15 and OpenAD:
1695      New experiment for OpenAD is identical to the one in input_ad except that
1696        multiDimAdvection=.FALSE.,
1697      There is still an issue with this.
1698    o pkg/thsice:
1699      - account for ice velocity (ocean relative velocity) in turbulent heat flux
1700        at the base of the ice; update output of global_ocean.cs32x15 (icedyn)
1701        and offline_exf_seaice (main test).
1702    
1703    checkpoint64f (2013/03/31)
1704    o verification/OpenAD:
1705      - new (smaller, without OAD_DEBUG) output_oadm.txt generated using gfortran.
1706    o verification/isomip, pkg/shelfice and OpenAD:
1707      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make shelfice package work with OpenAD
1708    o verification/tutorial_global_oce_biogeo:
1709      - update AD and TLM output after turning off ALLOW_FE (in DIC_OPTIONS.h)
1710    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1711      - replace adjoint experiment (now similar to fwd input.thermo/ setup).
1712    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens, pkg/ptracers and OpenAD:
1713      - add OpenAD setup to this exp and make ptracers package work with OpenAD
1714    o pkg/seaice/seaice_evp.F:
1715       mask the asymmetric contribution of the ice-ocean stress (when
1716       the turningAngle is non-zero) over open water to avoid stripes
1717       in the EVP-solutions after many EVP-substeps. This does not change
1718       the verification experiment (because turningAngle=0 in that experiment),
1719       but will affect other EVP solutions with turningAngle.ne.0
1720    o verification, AD & TLM output:
1721      - new TAF version 2.3.10 (previously 2.3.8) add more parenthesis in multiple
1722        additions and multiplications which affect results at machine truncation
1723        level. Update few AD output (1D_ocean_ice_column, bottom_ctrl_5x5,
1724        lab_sea.noseaicedyn & offline_exf_seaice) and TLM output
1725        (1D_ocean_ice_column & tutorial_tracer_adjsens.som81) which had only 12
1726        digits of matching.
1727    o pkg/seaice:
1728       modify lsr-algorithm so that it vectorizes AND converges by using a
1729       "zebra" method: split vector loop into two with step size 2; this
1730       solves a general convergence problem for the JFNK solver on a vector
1731       computer. It has the potential to even improve convergence for
1732       non-vector machines, but it does change the results so it is turned
1733       off by default. To turn on define CPP-flags SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR and
1734       SEAICE_VECTORIZE_LSR_ZEBRA in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h
1735    
1736    checkpoint64e (2013/03/05)
1737    o pkg/ecco and several verification experiments:
1738       Remove special versions of the_model_main.F, the_main_loop.F, forward_step.F
1739       from ecco package, and revert to unified routine in model/src/
1740       Adjust verification experiments accordingly, especially gloal_oce_llc90
1741       Should conclude long-standing work by Gael to reconsile the_main_loop with
1742       ECCO and will enable OpenAD's revolve loop in ECCO setup.
1743    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1744      - implement compressible flow method for multi-dim advection (similar to
1745        gad_som_advect.F); add new option "GAD_MULTIDIM_COMPRESSIBLE" (since
1746        TAF generates many recomputations) to use it; no yet coded with implicit
1747        vertical advection.
1748      - change experiment advect_cs (new output) and advect_xy (same output)
1749        to test compressible flow multi-dim advection.
1750    o pkg/generic_advdiff:
1751      - fix SOM advection for unusual cases (linear Free-Surf in r*, other
1752        cases where linear Free-Surf is not @ k=1, e.g., useShelfIce)
1753    o pkg/seaice:
1754      - fix bug in the no-slip implementation in seaice_calc_strainrates.F, this
1755        bug affects two verification experiments (lab_sea and lab_sea.hb87),
1756        recover old (wrong) results by setting noSlipFac = 2. in
1757        seaice_calc_strainrates.F;
1758      - add another averaging method for etaZ (etaZmethod=3), a mix of 2 and 0
1759      - add runtime parameter SEAICE_JFNKepsilon for that finite difference
1760        gradient in the Jacobian times vector operation (s/r seaice_jacvec)
1761      - fix line search in seaice_jfnk.F (s/r seaice_jfnk_update)
1762    o pkg/seaice: reorganize seaice_lsr.F to be able to reuse more code:
1763      - new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v
1764      - introduce loop bounds i/jmin/max to be able to use a restricted
1765        additive Schwarz method, but not used for now.
1766      - rename SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS into SEAICE_LSR_CALC_COEFFS
1767      - use new subroutines seaice_lsr_tridiagu/v in s/r seaice_preconditioner
1768    o OpenAD support
1769       Reorganize S/R call for overall time-stepping loop to facilitate
1770       OpenAD revolve loop replacement
1771       (new S/R main_do_loop.F)
1772    o model/src:
1773      - add 3-D array 3rd dimension to argument list of S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2/3;
1774      - pkg/cheapaml: remove local S/R ADAMS2d and use instead standard S/R
1775        ADAMS_BASHFORTH2.
1776    o pkg/cheapaml:
1777      - add new parameter (default=F, same as before) to disable full domain
1778        (including land) periodicity in X & Y dir.
1779      - new S/R CHEAPAML_COPY_EDGES to copy relaxation field into edges of
1780        prognostics field ; merge the 2 S/R cycle_2d_tracer and timestep_2d_tracer
1781        into single S/R CHEAPAML_TIMESTEP.
1782    
1783    checkpoint64d (2013/02/17)
1784    o pkg/monitor (angular momentum):
1785      - do not add Eta contribution to the total AM if using rigid-lid;
1786      - correct for Adams-Bashforth in zonal-wind part (instead of in AM_eta).
1787      - horizontal discretisation: compute Zonal wind contribution separately for
1788        each component (instead of from cell centered averaged) and use the 4
1789        grid-cell corner averaged value of Omega*(R*cos_Phi)^2 in AM_eta part.
1790      - Check that AM is conserved with linear dynamics (momAdvection=F and linear
1791        FreeSurf) if using vectorInvariant momentum.
1792    o model/src (horizontal grid):
1793      - move initialisation of all horizontal grid arrays to null value
1794        from specific horizontal grid S/R to main S/R INI_GRID;
1795      - add 2 new arrays to project model C-grid velocity on to zonal direction
1796        (similar to AngleCosC & -AngleSinC but at U and V point location) and
1797        compute them in S/R CALC_GRID_ANGLES.
1798    o pkg/seaice: replace a hard coded parameter by a runtime parameter
1799        SEAICE_JFNK_tolIter
1800    o pkg/seaice: introduce a restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) method in
1801        preconditioner for JFNK (run LSR into the overlaps as far as possible,
1802        i.e OLx/y-2, but overwrite the solution in the overlaps)
1803      - extend loop range in seaice_calc_viscosity
1804      - add new parameters SEAICE_OLx/y (default = OLx/y-2)
1805      - add flexible loop ranges to seaice_preconditioner, seaice_calc_lsr_coeffs
1806      - slightly modify loops in tridiagonal solver lsr-preconditioner
1807      - by default remove the extra exchange in seaice_preconditioner with a
1808        replacement of an undocumented CPP flag by SEAICE_PRECOND_EXTRA_EXCHANGE
1809      - modify offline_exf_seaice so that old results without RAS are reproduced
1810        for output.dyn_jfnk.txt
1811      in seaice_fgmres.F (unrelated to RAS)
1812      - add a cpp-flag option for a re-ordered mapping (potentially more
1813        efficient), but because this changes the results, turn it off by
1814        default
1815      - replace the save statement by local common blocks
1816    o utils/matlab:
1817      - fix tile-offset in rdmnc.m when output was produced using EXCH2.
1818      - update cs_grid/bk_line scripts to use load_grid.m (in utils/matlab)
1819        instead of local script "load_cs.m".
1820    o pkg/seaice:
1821      - fix a serious bug in seaice_fgmres.F, s/r seaice_scalprod, connected
1822        to the scalarProductMetric and the unrolling. By chance this does not
1823        change the verification experiment, because of the particular domain
1824        decomposition
1825    o pkg/diagnostics:
1826      - change default missing_value from UNSET_RL to -999.
1827    o pkg/layers: improve vectorization of layers_fluxcalc.F
1828      - step 1: split loops, make TatU/V 2D arrays. This alone reduces the cpu
1829        time spent in this routine by more than a factor of 3 on an NEC-SX8
1830      - step 2: replace search algorithm by a bisection algorithm found in
1831        Press et al. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This algorithm can be
1832        vectorized and finds the correct bin in approx. log2(Nlayers) steps.
1833        For now, use this algorithm only for TARGET_NEC_SX defined.
1834      - moved the search algorithm into a separate subroutine, that is kept
1835        within the same file for automatic inlining.
1836      - modified catching potential errors
1837    o pkg/ecco:
1838      - add compile switches ALLOW_SHALLOW_ALTIMETRY and ALLOW_HIGHLAT_ALTIMETRY.
1839    o model/src, pkg/autodiff, pkg/ctrl, pkg/grdchk :
1840      - modifications for ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1841      -- forward_step.F, the_main_loop.F : pass options and arrays for adjoint tapes.
1842      -- load_fields_driver.F : add call to CTRL_MAP_GENTIM2D( myTime, myIter, myThid )
1843      -- add xx_gentim2d0/1 in ctrl_ad_check_lev1_dir.h checkpoint_lev1_directives.h etc
1844      -- use ctrl_swapffields.F (new) instead of exf_SwapFFields.F in ctrl_get_gen.F
1845    o model/src:
1846      - account for moist thermodynamics in (dry) potential temperature equation;
1847        update results of experiments: aim.5l_cs (x2), fizhi-cs (std + aqualev)
1848        and cpl_aim+ocn.
1849      - also switch to standard compiler (gfortran, was using ifort previously)
1850        for fizhi-cs experiments reference output.
1851    o pkg/ctrl:
1852      - 1st step toward generic time-varying control variable (2D) via CPP option
1853        ALLOW_GENTIM2D_CONTROL
1854      - note new namelist ctrl_nml_genarr in data.ctrl
1855    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15:
1856      - switch off OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE (both forward and AD code) to use new
1857        thsice calling sequence and update "output.icedyn.txt" output file.
1858    o pkg/ptracers:
1859      - from Ryan A.: code to allow to restart a tracer at regular time interval
1860        specifying a reset frequency and a reset-phase (for each tracers).
1861    o pkg/thsice:
1862      - implement new sequence of calls for thsice+seaice:
1863          previously:   ice-Dyn,ice-Advect,ice-Thermo(thsice)
1864          new sequence: ice-Thermo(thsice),ice-Dyn,ice-Advect
1865      - allows (with temporary CPP option "#define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE"
1866        in CPP_OPTIONS.h) to recover old sequence;
1867      - update diagnostics for Intermediate State thsice diagnostics: now filled
1868        just before advection (instead of just after advection in old sequence);
1869      - update output of experiment offline_exf_seaice (standard test);
1870      - in global_ocean.cs32x15 exp., postpone output.icedyn.txt update
1871        by setting #define OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE in CPP_OPTIONS.h
1872    o pkg/aim_v23:
1873      - use tiled array for aim_CO2 and surface wind speed for export to coupler;
1874      - use standard pkg/mdsio routines to read & write CO2 pickup file;
1875      - in-line S/R AIM_AIM2DYN_EXCHANGES in aim_do_physics.F;
1876      - Implement new sequence of calls for seaice advection (with thsice and
1877        seaice diffusion): do ice advection after ice-Thermodynamic (previously
1878        was done before); change aim_do_physics.F (split the bi,bj loops block);
1879      - use same CPP option (OLD_THSICE_CALL_SEQUENCE) to recover old sequence;
1880    o pkg/thsice:
1881      - add a missing EXCH of sIceLoad in thsice_main.F (ocean set-up) for the case
1882        where just seaice diffusion is used without seaice-dynamics.
1883    
1884    checkpoint64c (2013/01/18)
1885    o pkg/seaice:
1886      - add a parameter JFNKres_tFac that can replace JFNKres_t
1887        (= JFNKres_tFac*JFNKresidual before JFNK solver)
1888      - add a line search option to the JFNK solver
1889      - move update of u/vIce and computation of initial residual into a separate
1890        routine (same file); makes the code a little easier to read (?)
1891      - the line search requires computation of the residual and for some reason
1892        I cannot do the update of u/vIce at the beginning of the Newton loop
1893        without changing the results, so we move computation of the new residual
1894        also to the end of the Newton loop, even without the line search
1895    o pkg/mdsio:
1896      - write missing value (corresponding to undefined array value) to meta files;
1897        skip this if missing value is one (UNSET_RL would be a better value for the
1898        case of undefined missing value but it's current the default missing-value);
1899        Also update mdsio_read_meta.F (reading timeInterval & missing-value).
1900    o pkg/exf & thsice:
1901      - for diagnostics purpose, fill-up and update Qsw array (+ fill the
1902        diagnostics) even when SHORTWAVE_HEATING is #undef;
1903    o verification/cfc_example:
1904      - turn on pkg/layers with pkg/diagnostics (to test pkg/layers and to
1905        illustrate how to use it).
1906    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1907      in input: add SEAICErestoreUnderIce=.TRUE., and reduce size of forcing
1908        files to only one time-record.
1909      in input.thermo: narrow the 2 bands of low initial ice-concentration near
1910        N & S edges; switch on SEAICErestoreUnderIce=T; use pkg/diagnostics for
1911        snapshot output; same mcPheePiston value as in thsice with
1912        surf-current=0.2m/s.
1913      in input.thsice: similar set-up as in input.thermo (channel with same seaice
1914        initial conditions).
1915    o verification/cfc_example:
1916      - update file "data" with more standard choice (default rotationPeriod,
1917        exactConserv=T, reduce ivdc_kappa to 10, remove multiDimAdvection=F,
1918        set deltaTFreeSurf to deltaTtracer) and update the output.
1919    o pkg/layers:
1920      - fix bolus part so that it compiles with #undef GM_BOLUS_ADVEC;
1921      - ensure that "layers_bolus" is switched to False when useGMRedi=False.
1922    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1923      - set all {field}period to zero for constant-in-time forcing (not tested
1924        anywhere else).
1925    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1926      - dyn_lsr  : use pkg/seaice S/R (instead of pkg/thsice) to advect sea-ice;
1927      - dyn_jfnk : use pkg/thsice S/R (instead of pkg/seaice) to advect sea-ice.
1928    o model/src:
1929      - implement Finite-Volume method for (hydrostatic) presure gradient
1930        from S.-J. Lin (QJRMS 1997), for atmosphere using sigma-coordinate.
1931    o pkg/seaice: implement EVP* by Lemieux et al. (2012).
1932      - In order to be compatible with the default EVP code, this requires changing
1933        the EVP code around a little; and because any small change immediately
1934        breaks the lab_sea.hb87 verification experiment, the reference output is
1935        updated two times (each time the remaining aggrement was only 2 digits):
1936        - after replacing 1/dt by 1*recip_dt with a precomputed recip_dt
1937        - after replacing 1/(1+0.5*dt/tau) by a/(a+1), with a=2*tau/dt
1938        The adjoint test lab_sea.evp also needed to be updated.
1939      - Turn on EVP* by setting SEAICE_deltaTevp as before, and setting
1940        SEAICEuseEVPstar=.true.; for EVP* SEAICE_deltaTevp does not need to be
1941        a factor of SEAICE_deltaTdyn, and you can set the number of EVP steps
1942        explicitly with SEAICEnEVPstarSteps (thereby overriding the default of
1943        INT(SEAICE_deltaTdyn/SEAICE_deltaTevp)). Controlling EVP* is deliberately
1944        kept obscure, because I need to test it a little more.
1945    o pkg/cheapaml:
1946      - fix few incorrect type (_RL/_RS) in subroutine calls.
1947    o pkg/seaice:
1948      - new S/R SEAICE_MAP_RS2VEC (similar to SEAICE_MAP2VEC) to map _RS arrays
1949        to _RL vector; this fixes JFNK code when compiling with "-use_r4" option.
1950    o model/src:
1951      - add a warning if using select_rStar=2 with nonlinFreeSurf <> 4;
1952        change (in input_ad*/data) select_rStar from 2 to 1 for AD verification
1953        experiments global_ocean.cs32x15 & tutorial_tracer_adjsens (+ update output)
1954    o pkg/cheapaml:
1955      - replace "273.1 _d 0" by celsius2K in pkg/cheapaml/cheapaml.F and
1956        update output of experiment cheapAML_box.
1957      - store in CHEAPAML.h coeffs ssq[0:2] for saturation specific humidity,
1958        and set them only in one place (cheapaml_readparms.F).
1959      - replace "273.16 _d 0" by celsius2K & replace "3.14159 _d 0" by constant "PI"
1960      - remove re-setting of main-model parameter "celsius2K" (in cheapaml_readparms)
1961        and re-setting of cheapAML params "lath" & "p0" (in cheapaml_init_varia).
1962    o model/src/the_main_loop.F:
1963      - fix revision 129 : need both ALLOW_ECCO and ALLOW_ECCO_EVOLUTION.
1964    o pkg/seaice:
1965      - remove legacy branch code.
1966      - retire SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY and SEAICE_CAP_HEFF accordingly.
1967    o verification/*/code*/SEAICE_OPTIONS.h:
1968      - remove documentation for retired CPP flags (SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY,
1969        SEAICE_CAP_HEFF).
1970    o pkg/cheapaml:
1971      - use standard routine (S/R GET_PERIODIC_INTERVAL) to decide when it is time
1972        to load new forcing fields.
1973      - add missing "_d 0" where it's needed; + some editing (improve indentation).
1974      - remove switch to "-r8" compiler option (no longer needed) in verification
1975        cheapAML_box, keep same output (small trucation error differences).
1976    o verification/offline_exf_seaice:
1977      - add thermodynamics only test.
1978    o verification/cheapAML_box:
1979      - split the domain in 8 (2x4) tiles; add MPI and multi-threaded test;
1980        keep same output (same 14 digits for cg2d).
1981      - switch on "-r8" compiler option (some numerical values are missing
1982        the "_d 0") and update output (only 6 digits for cg2d were preserved).
1983    
1984    checkpoint64b (2012/12/24)
1985    o pkg/cheapaml:
1986      - remove un-used variables (Qnet,EmPmR) from pickup files.
1987      - store tendency of advected variables into cheapaml pickup file
1988        and fix the AB-2 restart.
1989    o verification/offline_exf_seaice and lab_sea adjoint:
1990      - switch to new code (#undef SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY).
1991      - switch to 4 time steps in offline, consistent with lab_sea.
1992      - match parameters from SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY branch in data.seaice.
1993      - update results after change of experiment seaice.
1994    o pkg/seaice:
1995      - remove option SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY; has been replaced with run-time
1996        parameter SEAICE_multDim. Issue a warning if SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY is
1997        still defined since SEAICE_multDim needs to be set to MULTDIM value (from
1998        SEAICE_SIZE.h) to recover previous #define SEAICE_MULTICATEGORY default.
1999    o model/src:
2000      - add run-time parameter to select CG2D solver minimum-residual solution
2001        (in case of a poor convergence).
2002    o pkg/seaice/seaice_lsr.F
2003      - move calculation of matrix coefficients into new
2004        S/R SEAICE_CALC_LSR_COEFFS; for now this routine remains in the same
2005        file; the main purpose of this change is to be able to reuse the code
2006        in S/R SEAICE_PRECONDITIONER
2007      - modify the computation of the residual so that the mass of sea-ice
2008        is not used twice; this simplifies the calculations, but since
2009        the residual is never used except when LSR_mixIniGuess.ge.4---and this is
2010        not tested in testreport---this does not affect the testreport results.
2011    o verification/seaice_obcs:
2012      - disable SEAICE_GROWTH_LEGACY; reset input files to match those of
2013        verification/lab_sea/input.salt_plume; changes results/output.txt*
2014    o model/src:
2015      - adapt quasi-hydrostatic formulation to work with p or p* coordinate.
2016    o pkg/seaice:
2017      - improve description of parameters in seaice_fgmres.F and start
2018        cleaning up the code
2019      - change name of SCALPROD to SEAICE_SCALPROD and modify meaning of
2020        second argument
2021      - add a metric based on grid cell area to SEAICE_SCALPROD; update
2022        results of offline_exf_seaice.dyn_jfnk
2023      - compute initial residual norm in seaice_jfnk based on SEAICE_SCALPROD
2024    o pkg/aim_v23:
2025      - fix an other bug in dissipation heating (grid-cell area was missing).
2026    o model/src + pkg/seaice:
2027      - add global (multi-tile) linear solver for pair of tri-diagonal system
2028        along X and Y lines, respectively for U and V component.
2029        Note: 1) MPI and cube-exchange not yet coded.
2030            2) probably not accurate for poorly conditioned / large size problem.
2031      - add option for SEAICE_LSR to use global (multi-tile) tri-diagonal solver;
2032        default: not compiled and not used.
2033    o pkg/seaice:
2034      - first attempt at a multi-threaded fgmres solver for the JFNK solver:
2035        introduce bi/bj loops and use global_sum_tile_rl instead of
2036        mpi_allreduce in seaice_fgmres.F
2037      - improve diagnostics output for fgmres solver (seaice_fgmres.F)
2038      - replace a few unnecessary goto statements by if-blocks  (seaice_fgmres.F)
2039      - add a verification experiment for JFNK in offline_exf_seaice
2040    o verification:
2041      - change (for now, only fwd test) offline_exf_seaice experiment:
2042        use a re-entrant channel with idealized coastline (trapezoidal shape)
2043        at southern boundary to explore seaice dynamics and thermodynamics
2044        with simple forcing. Main set-up has dynamics+thermo and SST relaxation;
2045        secondary test (input.thsice) use thermodynamics only with SST relaxation.
2046      - add seaice-dynamics only secondary test using LSR and pkg/thsice advection.
2047    o pkg/exf:
2048      - disable "sstExtrapol" when Nr=1
2049    o verification:
2050      - add new experiment "cheapAML_box" (simple 1 layer set-up from Bruno Deremble)
2051        to test pkg/cheapaml.
2052    o pkg/aim_v23 & pkg/shap_filt:
2053      - fix dissipation heating (erroneous gravity multiplication factor).
2054    o pkg/seaice:
2055      - remove unused field pressPre from jfnk solver
2056      - rename two subroutines in seaice_preconditioner.F
2057    o eesupp/src:
2058       - S/R MDSFINDUNIT avoids reserved unit numbers (scrUnit1, eeDataUnit ...)
2059    o pkg/seaice/seaice_preconditioner.F: fix preconditioner once again
2060       - remove wrong parts of the rhs and the lhs (were in there
2061         because I did not understand the concept of this preconditioner)
2062       - add an exchange between u- and v-sweep. This increases communication
2063         by a factor of two but improves the convergence of jfnk. Ideally,
2064         one would like the u- and v-sweep to be independent. So far within
2065         undocumented ifdefs
2066       - reorganize the extra computations for printing the residuals
2067    o tools/genmake2:
2068      - comment out the "mpif.h" include in NetCDF test programm (for MPI built)
2069        since it's not necessary (and was preventing to use MNC in some cases).
2070    
2071    checkpoint64a (2012/11/16)
2072    o pkg/autodiff:
2073      - improve pkg-internal logical parameter switch (inAd/inFwd mode) so that
2074        autodiff_readparms.F no longer depends on calling order (within
2075        packages_readparms.F) and no longer requires to include ${PKG}_PARMS.h):
2076        rename param turnFreeDriftInAdMode to SEAICEuseFREEDRIFTswitchInAd
2077        and change param SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode to SEAICEuseDYNAMICSswitchInAd.
2078    o pkg/obcs:
2079      - adding tidal velocity forcing capability to obcs
2080        for usage example, see verification/seaice_obcs/input.tides
2081    o pkg/seaice:
2082      - turn the LSR-relaxation parameters WFAU/V into runtime parameters
2083        SEAICE_LSRrelaxU/V
2084      - introduce runtime parameter SEAICEetaZmethod (=0 by default)
2085    o pkg/aim_v23:
2086      - implement heating from friction (bottom friction and stratospheric drag).
2087    o pkg/shap_filt:
2088      - fix diagnostic "SHAP_dKE" (was 2 time smaller); implement heating from
2089        dissipation but only for Shap_funct=2, active when addFrictionHeating=T.
2090    o model/src:
2091      - move AddMass common block from DYNVARS.h to FFIELDS.h; allow to read-in
2092        time-constant addMass field from file (addMassFile);
2093      - support for heating due to friction (and Kinetic Energy dissipation):
2094        add option, run-time switch and 3-D field array + support code ; each pkg
2095        or S/R can add heating contribution (if there is a sink of KE); the sum is
2096        accounted for as a Temperature tendency term (EXTERNAL_FORCING_T).
2097    o pkg/seaice:
2098      - complete merge of ITD code into seaice_growth.F
2099        from MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/code/
2100        no verification so far, but Torge Martin tested
2101        "1-D test case and Beaufort set up;
2102        deliver okay results after 1 model year."
2103      - complete merge of SEAICE_SIZE.h into all relevant routines
2104      - move computation of eta at Z-points into calc_viscosities
2105        + introduce global field etaZ
2106        + add different methods for computing etaZ, for now the old
2107          method (simple averages of eta to Z-points) is hardwired
2108        + replace etaMeanZ by etaZ in seaice_lsr, seaice_calc_residual,
2109          seaice_preconditioner
2110      - simplify computations for SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG
2111      - seaice_preconditioner:
2112        + replace one remaining press by pressLoc (mistake)
2113        + adjust printing of residuals
2114      - improve I/O of diagnostics of JFNK in seaice_jfnk.F:
2115        + add (SEAICE.h) and rename some counters (initiliased in
2116          seaice_init_fixed.F)
2117        + add _BEGIN/END_MASTER (myThid)  around print statements
2118        + print total number of iterations and failures over SEAICE_monFreq
2119          interval to STDOUT
2120      - move control over output-messages by fgmres to seaice_jfnk to save
2121        some operations
2122      - move resetting initial guess for fgmres outside of seaice_fgmres_driver
2123        in order to make restarts with sol .ne. zero (fgmres with restarts)
2124        (seaice_jfnk.F, seaice_fgmres.F)
2125      - seaice_calc_l/rhs.F: replace maskW/S by maskInW/S; this fixes
2126        a serious convergence problem when open boundaries are involved
2127    o pkg/ggl90: fix computation of control volumes for the case of
2128      ALLOW_GGL90_HORIZDIFF (probably not used very often): move control volumes
2129      up half a grid cell from C-centered to W-centered (pointed out by C. Eden)
2130    o pkg/seaice: simplify seaice_evp by avoiding use of extra fields u/vIceC
2131    o pkg/autodiff
2132      - Add inAdMode switch for SEAICEuseDYNAMICS:
2133        SEAICEuseDYNAMICSinAdMode
2134        (extend logic in ADAUTODIFF_INADMODE_SET)
2135    o pkg/seaice
2136      - Step 1 of merging ice-thickness distribution (ITD) code from
2137        MITgcm_contrib/torge/itd/ (author: Torge Martin)
2138        The code implements concept laid out in Thorndike et al. (1975);
2139        code is enabled via CPP flag SEAICE_ITD
2140        nITD (in SEAICE_SIZE.h) defines number of ice thickness categories;
2141        code is not complete yet!!
2142      - SEAICE_SIZE.h now included in almost all seaice routines
2143    o verification (using seaice):
2144      - switch back seaice-dynamics (+ lower SOLV_MAX_ITERS) in ADM exp.
2145        global_ocean.cs32x15.seaice ; update results.
2146      - compile B-grid dynamics in FW test exp 1D_ocean_ice_column ;
2147      - compile C-grid dynamics with #define SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK in FW test exp
2148        offline_exf_seaice (previously compiling B-grid).
2149    o pkg/exf:
2150      - fix some STOP conditions in exf_check.F (from Aug 28, modifs did not allow
2151        to specify neither just 1 comp of wind or wind-stress, nor no surface momentum
2152        forcing): just replace CPP option ALLOW_ATM_WIND with run-time param useAtmWind.
2153    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
2154      - do snap-shot output and fill diagnostics from inside iLa loop (layers_calc.F)
2155        this allows to remove "layers_maxNum" dimension from all layers arrays.
2156    o pkg/layers (adjust changes from Sept 19):
2157      - remove ALLOW_LAYERS_OUTPUT ; fix snap-shot and time-ave output ;
2158      - snap-shot extended to all type of layers (not just the 1rst type);
2159      - remove layers variables when corresponding CPP option is undef.
2160    o pkg/layers:
2161      - rename pkg/layers variable and add new output (layer exist & un-weighted
2162        velocity in layer)
2163    o pkg/seaice:
2164      - simplify (?) ocean-drag coefficent computations by using
2165        the same routine in all three solvers (saves some code lines)
2166      - remove global fields DRAGA and DRAGS from C-grid code and
2167        declare them locally in lsr.F (the only place where they are
2168        still used)
2169      - update AD output of lab_sea.evp (very sensitive anyway).
2170    o pkg/seaice: add Jacobian-free Newton Krylov solver for ice dynamics
2171      (Lemieux et al. 2010, 2012). Turn on with the usual SEAICE_ALLOW_JFNK
2172      and SEAICEuseJFNK=.true. A few things to note:
2173      - involves a FGMRES, that is parallel but very inefficient,
2174        because of many scalar products (global sums) in the Gram-Schmidt
2175        orthogonalization method. Needs to be replaced. Original code
2176        from J.-F. Lemieux
2177      - preconditioner for FGMRES is a stripped down version of LSOR
2178      - SOLV_MAX_ITERS is now used for LSOR as a solver and as a
2179        preconditioner. For the preconditioner, the default is set to 10.
2180      - Jacobian times vector is computed with finite differences
2181      - marginally related to JFNK-solver: add a smooth regularization for
2182        zeta with tanh that will improve convergence (Lemieux and Tremblay,
2183        2009) for any implicit solver (not implemented for EVP because EVP
2184        does not need this regularization in the first place). Define
2185        SEAICE_ZETA_SMOOTHREG in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h to use.
2186    o eesupp/src:
2187      - check in genmake2 that intrinsic S/R flush is available.
2188      - add S/R to flush IO unit (if intrinsic S/R flush is available)
2189      - flush standard & error msg unit before MPI termination
2190      - if debugMode, flush IO unit after printing msg
2191    o pkg/ctrl:
2192      - ctrl_unpack.F, ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL code: fix missing argument in call
2193        to ctrl_set_unpack_xyz.
2194    
2195    checkpoint64 (2012/10/09)
2196    o pkg/shelfice
2197      - in mom_fluxform.F, mom_vecinv.F:
2198        CALL SHELFICE_V_DRAG(bi,bj,k,vFld,KE,KappaRU,vF,myThid)
2199        Bug fix KappaRU -> KappaRV
2200        does not change verification/isomip but may change other setups
2201        (presumably constant KappaRU=KappaRV)
2202      - fix diagnostics SHIU/Vdrag (thanks to Tom Millgate)
2203    o pkg/obcs:
2204      - fixed some indexing bugs in obcs_seaice_sponge.F
2205      - added obcs relaxation subroutines for HSALT and HSNOW
2206      - changes verification/seaice_obcs/results/obcs_seaice_sponge.F
2207    o pkg/seaice:
2208      - add "multicategory" parameterization for snow in analogy to ice,
2209        default is off for now.
2210    o pkg/obcs:
2211      - added obcs_seaice_sponge.F for obcs relaxation of seaice variables;
2212        see verification/seaice_obcs/input.seaiceSponge for example application.
2213      - remove local commom bloc "OBCS_GLOBAL" in obcs_readparms.F and do all the OB
2214        index setting by master-thread. This fix multi-threads Pb in previous modifs.
2215    o pkg/layers :
2216      - add diagnostics to pkg/layers
2217      - move the meat of pkg/layers from layers_calc.F to layers_fluxcalc.F
2218        (from R.Tulloch). Layers_calc.F now calls layers_fluxcalc.F accordingly.
2219    o pkg/generic_advdiff/gad_implicit_r.F :
2220      - fix ADVr diagnostics in case of both implicit vertical advection and diffusion.
2221    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F:
2222      - fix SItflux diagnostics in virtual salt flux + balanceEmpmr case.
2223    o pkg/obcs:
2224      - change default setting of OBCS_UVICE_OLD from defined to undef;
2225      - use new parameter OB_indexNone for null index value (instead of hard-coded 0)
2226        in all pkg/obcs code and in other pkgs; remove k loop in obcs_check_depths.F;
2227      - pass OB_indexNone as (new) argument to S/R CTRL_MASK_SET_[X,Y]Z;
2228      - change OB null index value (OB_indexNone) to -99 ; this fix the problem
2229        with Southern & Western OB at a tile edge (at least in a simple set-up).
2230    o pkg/obcs:
2231      - change settings of OB index in case OB coincides with tile edge (shared by
2232        2 tiles), so that common OB location is registered by both tiles (instead of
2233        only 1). However, for Southern and Western OB, index value = 0 is not
2234        recognized as valid OB index (=default null value) and needs to be fixed.
2235      - modify accordingly OBCS_BALANCE_FLOW and OBCS_MONITOR (avoid double counting)
2236      - new parameter "OB_indexNone" for null index value (for now, still zero)
2237        to replace hard-coded null index value of zero.
2238    o pkg/exch2:
2239      - improve W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE (faster) and W2_E2_DEBUG_ON:
2240        always check buffer-size (but outside the loop); move checking for valid
2241        index from W2_USE_E2_SAFEMODE to W2_E2_DEBUG_ON; in W2_E2_DEBUG_ON,
2242        print each tile and point connection only if |W2_printMsg|>= 2 and 3.
2243    o pkg/ctrl (pack & unpack):
2244      - in ctrl_pack.F & ctrl_unpack.F, use the same local file-name variable
2245        (locally defined) for different variables (+ remove the variable-specific
2246        file name in CTRL_GENARR.h). For now, only implemented for GENARR2/3D_CONTROL
2247        (to be extended to other local file names in ctrl.h).
2248    o pkg/flt:
2249      - add a FLT_Iter0 option (similar to PTRACERS_Iter0).
2250    o pkg/mdsio:
2251      - fix missing STOP in mdsio_readvec_loc.F (case ioUnit=0) when file is missing
2252    o tools/genmake2:
2253      - add similar dependences for target EXE_AD & EXE_FTL as we have for EXECUTABLE
2254        (added by Alistair in version 1.51 for building without make depend);
2255      - remove Header files list (H_SRC_FILES) from the dependence of targets
2256         ad_input_code.f & ftl_input_code.f (not clear why it was added in the first
2257        place in version 1.23): this save going through staf when unrelated header
2258        file has been modified.
2259       Note: for an intermediate target (e.g., ad_input_code.f or adtaf) without
2260        "make depend" step, still need to do "make links" before "make adtaf".
2261    o eesupp/src (+ few pkg src files) & genmake2:
2262      - finish to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see;
2263      - no longer set ALWAYS_USE_MPI in Makefile (was done by genmake2).
2264      - improve genmake2 checking for ALLOW_${PKG} in CPP_OPTIONS.h files (distinguish
2265         upper/lower case ; account for space between "#" and undef/define)
2266    o pkg/flt (with exch2):
2267      - cleaning: fix so that it compiles; move remaining MPI calls out of flt_exch2.F;
2268      - simplify threads synchronisation; fix (many issues) multi-threaded with MPI.
2269    
2270    checkpoint63s (2012/09/05)
2271    o pkg/ecco:
2272      - remove #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D brackets.
2273      - add more relevant #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH ones.
2274      - sort out useAtmWind, useSMOOTH, ctrlSmoothCorrel2D.
2275    o pkg/ctrl:
2276      - CTRL_OPTIONS.h : document CPPs related to smoothing; ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D,
2277        ALLOW_CTRL_SMOOTH, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL2D, ALLOW_SMOOTH_CTRL3D.
2278      - ctrl.h : document run time params doInitXX, doMainPack, doMainUnpack, doPackDiag,
2279        doSinglePrecTapelev (audodiff param!), ctrlSmoothCorrel2D (new) and
2280        ctrlSmoothCorrel3D (new).
2281        The added ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D replace the old ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D CPP.
2282      - ctrl_readparms.F : initialise ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D and read from namelist.
2283      - ctrl_init.F ctrl_pack.F ctrl_unpack.F : switch off ustress/vstress
2284        controls when useAtmWind, and vice versa.
2285      - ctrl_map_ini_ecco.F : UVEL0, VVEL0, edtaux, edtauy cannot be smoothed as tracers.
2286      - ctrl_get_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D with
2287          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel2D, IF useSMOOTH.
2288      - ctrl_map_ini_gen.F : replace #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL3D with
2289          #ifdef ALLOW_SMOOTH, IF ctrlSmoothCorrel3D, IF useSMOOTH.
2290      - ctrl_set_pack_xy[z].F, ctrl_set_unpack_xy[z].F:
2291        replace ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL2D/3D brackets with ctrlSmoothCorrel2D/3D.
2292    o pkg/smooth:
2293      - remove un-necessary includes.
2294      - remove ALLOW_SMOOTH*D and ALLOW_SMOOTH_CORREL*D brakets.
2295        Those CPP options were never defined, and not necessary.
2296    o model/src:
2297      - fix CPP brackets in ini_mixing.F (GM_background_K belongs to gmredi).
2298      - standard treatment of useSMOOTH.
2299    o pkg/autodiff:
2300      - add LOGICAL useGGL90inAdMode, useGGL90inFwdMode, useSALT_PLUMEinAdMode,
2301        useSALT_PLUMEInFwdMode allowing to switch off ggl90 and salt_plume adjoint.
2302    o pkg/exch2:
2303      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (in exch2_rx?_cube*.template)
2304        + start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI in source code that TAF does not see.
2305      - make new S/R W2_MAP_PROCS out of w2_eeboot.F to setup exch2 CommonFlag
2306        and tiles to process mapping.
2307      - re-arrange 3 header files (W2_EXCH2_PARAMS.h, _BUFFER.h & _TOPOLOGY.h)
2308        moving /EXCH2_FILLVAL_RX/ & /W2_EXCH2_COMMFLAG/ to W2_EXCH2_TOPOLOGY.h;
2309        rename "exch2_tProc" to "W2_tileProc" and move seting of e2FillValue_RX
2310        from w2_eeboot.F to w2_readparms.F.
2311    o eesupp/src:
2312      - set exchNeedsMemsync & exchUsesBarrier according to "usingMPI" (instead of
2313        ALWAYS_USE_MPI) + moved from ini_communication_patterns.F to eeset_parms.F;
2314        also move setting of exchCollectStatistics from exch_init.F to eeset_parms.F
2315      - in eedie.F and all_proc_die.F, always call MPI_FINALIZE when ALLOW_USE_MPI
2316        is defined (remove condition on usingMPI) to match cases where MPI_INIT
2317        has been called.
2318      - fix bug I put in previous modif of exch_sm_3d_rx.template (not much used);
2319      - change default (non-MPI) value of myPid (from 1 to 0) to match MPI settings
2320        (so that on 1 proc, get same myPid independently of usingMPI)
2321      - add a stop if multi-procs but usingMPI=F ; stop also if usingMPI=T and
2322        useCubedSphereExchange with EXCH-1 (safer).
2323      - add "if usingMPI" where it was missing (+ start to remove ALWAYS_USE_MPI).
2324    o pkg/ggl90:
2325      - fix bug in filling corner mask array "mskCor" (FILL_CS_CORNER_TR_RL call)
2326        used in ALLOW_GGL90_SMOOTH code.
2327    o pkg/flt:
2328      - fix typo in FLT_WITHOUT_Y_PERIODICITY (the effect was to ignore stopping
2329        floats at the Southern end of the domain).
2330    o eesupp/inc:
2331      - add a list of CPP-options which can be set by Makefile (DEF_IN_MAKEFILE.h);
2332        but not used (and not to be used) anywhere, just for documentation.
2333    o pkg/autodiff, exf, ptracers & seaice (AD & TL output):
2334      - comment out the very nasty "writeBinaryPrec = writeStatePrec" line, since:
2335        a) can damage previously written records in any other multi-record files.
2336        b) if needed, can easily do it cleanly, by calling S/R WRITE_REC_3D_RL/S.
2337    o tools/genmake2:
2338      - define variable MAKE within Makefile and use it in place of 'make';
2339      - update AD_CONFIG.h (if needed) before building any of the executable
2340        (forward, adjoint or tangent-lin); this involves a 2nd invocation of make;
2341        and add the usual #ifndef/#define AD_CONFIG_H in AD_CONFIG.h;
2342      - always print usual warning comment 'this file is automatically generated'
2343        from script convert_cpp_cmd2defines (+ remove this warning from genmake2).
2344    o pkg/cheapaml:
2345      - updated to correspond to the code used in accepted paper (Nico Wienders).
2346    o pkg/exf:
2347        added run time switch useAtmWind to replace ALLOW_ATM_WIND cpp switch.
2348        ALLOW_ATM_WIND now just sets the useAtmWind default (see exf_readparms.F)
2349        and force defines ALLOW_BULKFORMULAE (EXF_OPTIONS.h).
2350    o pkg/exf, autodiff, ctrl, ecco and seaice:
2351        remove ALLOW_ATM_WIND brackets, or replace them with useAtmWind ones.
2352    o pkg/ctrl, ecco:
2353        allow to compile both ALLOW_U/VSTRESS_CONTROL and ALLOW_U/VWIND_CONTROL.
2354        Depending on useAtmWind, one is inactive, and the other is active (see
2355        exf_getffields.F/exf_getsurfacefluxes.F).
2356    o tools/genmake2:
2357      - improve error msg when failing in 2nd test of check_for_broken_Ff
2358      - fix option '-makefile' short-name (-mf according to genmake2 -help)
2359      - source local config file "genmake_local" just after processing the genmake2
2360        command arguments (previously done before processing arg).
2361    o pkg/grdchk:
2362      - add a call to TURNOFF_MODEL_IO for Tangent-Linear run (in this case, call
2363        to this routine from cost_final has been dropped in g_cost_final)
2364      - improve printed information (more explicit msg, no longer using "print *,"
2365         fix fcpertminus printed value).
2366    o model/src:
2367      - move call to COST_INIT_VARIA out of packages_init_variables.F directly
2368        into initialise_varia.F (just after calling PACKAGES_INIT_VARIABLES):
2369        this prevents getting cost-funct reset in adinitialise_varia recomputations.
2370    o pkg/dic:
2371      - move initialisation of "freefe" array from from dic_biotic_forcing.F to
2372        fe_chem.F: this prevents TAF from dropping this initialisation in TLM code.
2373    o pkg/grdchk:
2374      - grdchk_main.F : added CALL GLOBAL_SUM_INT( ierr , myThid )
2375      - grdchk_getadxx.F etc. : omit I/O if ierr.EQ.0
2376    o pkg/autodiff/ctrl/grdchk :
2377      - attempt to sort out what works and what does not,
2378        with regard to I/O, and to warn/stop accordingly.
2379    o pkg/grdchk:
2380      - attempt to fix grdchk in the case of useSingleCpuIO.
2381      - "if ( myProcId .EQ. grdchkwhichproc .AND. ierr .EQ. 0 )"
2382       statements were moved from grdchk_main.F and into
2383       grdchk_getadxx.F grdchk_getxx.F grdchk_setxx.F.
2384      - a global sum is applied to record numbers icvrec/layer
2385       out of grdchk_loc so that they be passed to I/O routines.
2386    o pkg/smooth:
2387      - fix recomputation that appeared with nlfs : use smooth_recip_hFacC,
2388        smooth_hFacW, smooth_hFacS (copied at init_fixed) in 3d case.
2389    o verification/testreport:
2390      - add option '-tlm' for Tangent-Linear test (-adm,-oad,-tlm are all exclusive);
2391      - can also use compressed (gzip) reference output file;
2392      - change format (in pkg/grdchk) of TLM output (+ add forward gradient)
2393        to be easier to collect by testreport.
2394      - update existing TLM output (half out-of-date by more than 3 yrs).
2395      - report NETCDF & LAPACK settings (from genmake2) in output dir.
2396      - report run-time in each individual summary (previously only for AD test);
2397        for TLM test, add also TAF version.
2398      - add daily TLM test on (old) aces cluster + weekly test on baudelaire.
2399    
2400    checkpoint63r (2012/08/15)
2401    o tools/genmake2:
2402      - fix Makefile for target ftlall (+ update files to clean after make ftlall)
2403    o pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F :
2404      - fix fc print statements (to stdout and costfunction0000) so
2405        that the printed value is always after the global sum.
2406    o pkg/seaice/seaice_dynsolver.F :
2407      - fix ice strength assymptote at SEAICE_area_max<1
2408        (no change for the standard case of SEAICE_area_max=1)
2409    o some cleaning:
2410      - pkg source files: ensure that all *.F files from each pkg included the
2411        corresponding ${PKG}_OPTIONS.h file (except stand-alone src file which
2412        only includes CPP_EEOPTIONS.h); fix S/R CTRL_SMOOTH ; update AD experiment
2413        code_ad/*.F src files; add new option-file in pkg/admtlm + corresponding
2414        includes;
2415      - model/src: add PACKAGES_CONFIG.h wherever ALLOW_AUTODIFF[_TAMC] is used.
2416      - ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL: add a stop in S/R CTRL_CHECK in case ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR
2417        is undef; also define /DYNVARS_DIFFKR/ common block in DYNVARS.h when
2418        ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL is defined, to allow to compile and reach this stop.
2419      - update option-file CPP_OPTIONS.h of all AD experiments:
2420        * no longer include PACKAGES_CONFIG.h ;
2421        * includes ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h if PACKAGES_CONFIG.h has been included ;
2422        * def/undef ALLOW_3D_DIFFKR independently of ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL (before
2423          including ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h).
2424    o pkg/cost, pkg/ctrl, pkg/ecco option-file:
2425      - clean-up and split content of old pkg/ecco/ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h file into
2426        separated pkg option-file (done according to old doc from ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h,
2427        not necessary accurate).
2428      - add a template for option-file ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h, mostly empty, in
2429        pkg/autodiff, i.e., the 1rst pkg to compile for adjoint built, with lines to
2430        deliberately break compilation (a remainder that it needs to be customized)
2431      - in pkg/ecco, includes ECCO_OPTIONS.h instead of COST_OPTIONS.h
2432      - rename COST_CPPOPTIONS.h to COST_OPTIONS.h
2433      - rename CTRL_CPPOPTIONS.h to CTRL_OPTIONS.h
2434    o tools/genamke2:
2435      - check for lapack.
2436    o pkg/cost and pkg/ecco : attempt to sort out some of the limiting intricacies.
2437      - pkg/cost.cost_final.F : allow for use of pkg/ecco and pkg/cost cost functions
2438        jointly. The exclusive ifdefs were removed, to add costs terms (when defined)
2439        from both packages.
2440      - the fc global sum in pkg/ecco/ecco_cost_final.F was removed accordingly.
2441      - for objf_atl we use either the pkg/ecco or the pkg/cost term depending on CPPs.
2442      - pkg/ecco and model/src : add CPP brackets around pkg/cost and pkg/ctrl includes
2443        of "CTRL_SIZE.h" "ctrl.h" "ctrl_dummy.h" "optim.h" / "cost.h" accordingly.
2444    o pkg/cost : add comments to explain special and/or untested setups.
2445    o pkg/exf:
2446      - use EXF_OPTIONS.h to set pkg/exf options except if done in ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h
2447        (previously, ALLOW_AUTODIFF_TAMC was controling this switch).
2448    o verification/*/code_ad:
2449      mimimal cleaning of AD experiments ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h option-file:
2450      - reccord when this file is included (define ECCO_CPPOPTIONS_H)
2451      - remove the most obvious obsolete features (e.g., #define ALLOW_COST not
2452        allowed since Oct 2003 in any option-file except in PACKAGES_CONFIG.h)
2453    o pkg/seaice :
2454      - added possibility to change ice strength/PRESS0 relationship to
2455        HEFF, according to the following run time parameters
2456        SEAICEpresPow0 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength below SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
2457        SEAICEpresPow1 :: HEFF exponent for ice strength above SEAICEpresH0 (integer, >0)
2458        SEAICEpresH0   :: HEFF threshold for ice strength            (m)
2459    o pkg/ggl90 :
2460      - added run time flag mxlSurfFlag to include the code that ensure
2461        mixing between first and second level (previously included as a comment)
2462    o verification/1D_ocean_ice_column/input_ad/data.autodiff :
2463      - add test of newly added dumpAdByRec=T option where
2464        we write all records to one file per variable.
2465    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/code_ad/CPP_OPTIONS.h :
2466      - switch to #define ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX and ALLOW_BALANCE_FLUXES
2467        to check that this code is ok with taf and compiles in adjoint.
2468    o pkg/autodiff :
2469      - added run time param dumpAdByRec : ad dump format switch.
2470        If true then write all records to one file per variable.
2471        Else write one file per record (remains the default).
2472      - revise seaice_ad_dump.F and exf_adjoint_snapshots_ad.F accordingly.
2473    o pkg/seaice:
2474     - Added SEAICEuseTILT run time switch : if set to
2475       false then omit the tilt term in seaice dynamics.
2476     - Fix free drift calculation.
2477    o pkg/shelfice:
2478      When initializing SHELFICEDragQuadratic, set default to be
2479      consistent with shiCdrag in case SHELFICEuseGammaFrict is used,
2480      but retain option to set it independently
2481      (inconsistenty spotted by Veronique Dansereau)
2482    o eesupp/inc:
2483      - in EEPARAMS.h, add real-type constant for some frequently used simple number
2484         (0,1,2,1/2), with name explicitly referring to RS/RL type.
2485    o model/src:
2486      - move balancing of relaxation terms to new S/R balance_relax.F.
2487    o pkg/autodiff:
2488      re-write active I/O high-level (control) S/R:
2489      - rename  S/R ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_RL to ACTIVE_READ/WRITE_3D_RL
2490      - add 1 more argument (useCurrentDir) to replace the "_LOC" 2nd set of S/R.
2491      - use standard pkg/mdsio I/O routines (MDS_READ/WRITE_SEC_XZ/YZ  and
2492        MDS_READ/WRITE_FIELD); change loops to multi-threads.
2493      - update and merge active_file_control_slice.flow into active_file_control.flow
2494      - update the calls in lower level S/R (active_file.F, active_file_g.F and
2495        active_file_ad.F) keeping the argument list and function unchanged.
2496      - also update lower-level "_LOC" version (call same S/R with "useCurrentDir
2497        =.TRUE.") and remove high-level (control) _loc version (not called anymore).
2498      - new low-level active I/O routines, one for each type (RL/RS), for active var
2499        of various (XY,XZ,YZ) shape and level number (arguments: arrShape, myNr);
2500        fix ctrl_init_wet.F & ecco_cost_weights.F by calling the new S/R with the
2501        right type.
2502    o autodiff and RS=real*4:
2503      - call the right type (_RS instead of _RL) of S/R in few output S/R (pkg/exf
2504        ad-monitor and snapshots); disable arrType='RS' in mdsio_gl*.F ;
2505      - change argument type of 3-D mask argument to _RS to match type in the call
2506        (in seaice_cost*.F, ctrl_*_gen.F and *ctrl_bound.F); to be continued.
2507    o pkg/thsice:
2508      - re-anable balanceEmPmR when useSEAICE=T with useThSIce=T.
2509      - option to correct ocean fresh-water flux for imbalance of Atmos+Land
2510        fresh-water flux: uniform correction or proportional to local precip.
2511    o pkg/ctrl:
2512      - new header file CTRL_SIZE.h for parameters maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D
2513      - redefine CPP option ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL to
2514                            ALLOW_BOTTOMDRAG_CONTROL_NONGENERIC
2515      - verification/hs94.1x64x5/ tests ALLOW_GENARR{2D,3D}_CONTROL
2516    
2517    checkpoint63q (2012/07/30)
2518    o pkg/autodiff:
2519      note about monitor and snap-shot of ad-variables:
2520      a) need to apply ADEXCH before monitor or output of ad-vars to include
2521       overlap contributions (was done for adjDump but missing for monitor).
2522      b) since ADEXCH implies adding overlap values to interior array, machine
2523       truncation error is expected when adding an ADEXCH call in the middle of
2524       the time-stepping (although mathematically identical).
2525      modifs:
2526      - fix some incorrect type (RL/RS, UV/scalar) in ADEXCH calls and ad-vars
2527        declaration (adEddyPsiX,adEddyPsiY in adcommon.h).
2528      - add new run-time params (dumpAdVarExch & mon_AdVarExch) to select how  to
2529        apply ADEXCH before monitor or snap-shot of ad-variables:
2530           =0 : no ADEXCH ; =1 : do ADEXCH ; =2 : apply ADEXCH on a local copy.
2531      - implement new method (copy+adexch) for snap-shot and monitor of main model
2532        ad-vars (initially not used by default -> output unchanged).
2533      - change default (set to 2) to use new method and update few output_adm.txt
2534        with accurate ad-monitor (global_ocean.90x40x15, tutorial_global_oce_biogeo
2535        and both tutorial_tracer_adjsens tests).
2536      - switch 2 global_ocean.cs32x15 AD-tests to AB-2 (seaice_dynmix & thsice)
2537        and turn off momDissip_In_AB in the 2 other (needed for stable AB-3).
2538    o pkg/ctrl:
2539      enable the use of a variable number (maxCtrlArr2D, maxCtrlArr3D) of
2540      generic control variables via
2541      #define ALLOW_GENARR2D_CONTROL and/or #define ALLOW_GENARR3D_CONTROL
2542      Only required customization should be S/R ctrl_map_ini_genarr.F
2543      (routine in repository contains example)
2544    o pkg/exf:
2545      - fix and refine checking of surface-relaxation setting when using EXF
2546    o verification (adjoint exp):
2547      - reduce length of simulation by half for experiment global_ocean.cs32x15
2548        (std, seaice & seaice_dynmix) and exp tutorial_dic_adjoffline; update output.
2549    o pkg/mom_common (mom_u/v_bottomdrag), pkg/shelfice (shelfice_u/v_drag)
2550      - replace if statements KE.ne.0 with KE.gt.0 to avoid sqrt of negative numbers
2551        of KE that can occur with aggressive optimization
2552      + put quadratic bottom drag calculation in separated loops (only done if
2553        using bottomDragQuadratic)
2554    o model/src: CG2D_NSA
2555      - clean-up:  stop if cg2dNormaliseRHS=T and AUTODIFF
2556         and replace GLOBAL_SUM calls with GLOBAL_SUM_TILE.
2557      - in test-exp that uses CG2D_NSA (bottom_ctrl & tutorial_tracer_adjsens),
2558         change cg2d residual target to be expressed in Wunits (=> do not normalise
2559         RHS ; this fix global_max Pb with TAF); update output.
2560    o verification/tutorial_tracer_adjsens:
2561       improve parameter consistency (and get rid of warnings):
2562       - use deltaTFreeSurf=deltaTtracer (better with NonLin FreeSurf);
2563       - switch Temp Adv Scheme from 81 to 80 (no limiter since theta < 0 is physical)
2564       - use staggerTimeStep (for stability) in som81; use default rotation period.
2565    o pkg/exch2:
2566      - with empty facet: fix compact-format (W2_mapIO=1) definition (was previously
2567        reset to 0 = 1 long line in X)
2568    o pkg/mdsio:
2569      - fix reading of dimensions from meta file for large-size domain
2570    o model/src:
2571      - fix saltIsActiveTr setting for IdealGas eosType (eosType is 6 character long);
2572      - to refine CS-grid check, add logical flag "hasWetCSCorners": true if using
2573        Cubed-Sphere Exch with CS-corners inside the domain;
2574        make new S/R INI_GLOBAL_DOMAIN from code in ini_linear_phisurf.F to calculate
2575        globalArea and to set hasWetCSCorners.
2576      - add warning if usingCurvilinearGrid and momAdvection in flux-form (missing
2577        metric terms); stop if hasWetCSCorners=T and momAdvection in flux-form.
2578      - re-activate the stop if useCDscheme and hasWetCSCorners=T (previously if
2579        useCDscheme and useCubedSphereExchange).
2580    o pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F :
2581      - compute the SEAICE_DISABLE_HEATCONSFIX term accordingly
2582        for the (.NOT.useRealFreshWaterFlux).OR.(nonlinFreeSurf.EQ.0)
2583        when the previous code was not correct.
2584      - in all cases diagnoze the boundary condition mismatch to SIaaflux
2585      - in the case of useRealFreshWaterFlux.AND.(nonlinFreeSurf.GT.0) add
2586        that term to QNET (essentially to set the melt/freeze water to 0degC).
2587        when SEAICEheatConsFix is true, so that the ocean+ice budget heat is closed.
2588    o verification/global_ocean.cs32x15/input.seaice :
2589      - add SEAICEheatConsFix in data.seaice, ensuring closed ocean+ice heat budget.
2590      - add diagnostics (commented out) for budget test using my matlab codes (gcmfaces).
2591      - update results (output.seaice.txt) accordingly.
2592    o verification/lab_sea/input/data.seaice :
2593      - remove SEAICEheatConsFix, which is now be tested
2594        in global_ocean.cs32x15. The presently coded fix
2595        is only consistent with real fresh water + nlfs.
2596      - update results (output.txt) accordingly.
2597    o pkg/salt_plume: added diagnotic for salt tendency (oceSPtnd).
2598    o AD_CONFIG.h file:
2599      - in genmake2: remove "#undef ALLOW_ECCO_OPTIMIZATION" from AD_CONFIG.h;
2600      - remove #include "AD_CONFIG.h" from all included OPTIONS files and
2601        add it explicitly in each fortran src file where it is needed.
2602        motivation: header file AD_CONFIG.h is generated/modified after "make depend"
2603        thus introducing potentially wrong dependency; therefore, better to include
2604        it only where it's really needed, and after any other included OPTIONS file
2605        (less tempting to bring conditional includes according to ALLOW_ADJOINT_RUN
2606        or ALLOW_TANGENTLINEAR_RUN).
2607    
2608    checkpoint63p (2012/07/06)
2609  o pkg/autodiff:  o pkg/autodiff:
2610    - rename S/R INI_AUTODIFF to AUTODIFF_INIT_VARIA ;    - rename S/R INI_AUTODIFF to AUTODIFF_INIT_VARIA ;

2626      - introduce ALLOW_BALANCE_RELAX which allow the removal
2627       of the global mean of relaxation terms by setting
2628       balanceThetaClimRelax and balanceSaltClimRelax
2629      - disable balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet in the case when useSeaice.
2630       This case is now treated appropriately in seaice_growth.F
2631    o pkg/seaice:
2632      - do balanceEmPmR and balanceQnet based on the net fluxes
2633        (SItflux) that enter the ocean+ice system rather than QNET
2634        and EMPMR. Works best in real fresh water.
2635      - SIatmFW, SIatmQnet, and SItflux computations had to be moved
2636        out of the diagnotics bloc, and stored in global arrays.
