C     size3dBuf  :: buffer 3rd dimension, corresponds to the maximum number
C                   of levels that can be read/written at a time.
C     Note: minimum value = Nr, but in few cases (vertical interpolation,
C           NrPhys from Fizhi, ...)  needs to be larger. Here we pick 2*Nr
C           which should be enough for most applications.
      INTEGER size3dBuf
#ifdef ALLOW_FIZHI
      PARAMETER ( size3dBuf = Nr+NrPhys )
#else
c     PARAMETER ( size3dBuf = 2*Nr )
C     increase buffer size (below) for some pkg/layers output:
      PARAMETER ( size3dBuf = 3*Nr )
#endif

C--   COMMON /MDS_3D_BUFFERS/  3-D Shared Local Buffers
C     Those buffers have be in common block to be shared by all threads;
C     considered to be "owned" by master-thread and any access by other 
C     than master thread needs to be put protected by BARRIER.
C shared3dBuf_rx :: Heap storage buffer to which master thread
C                   read-in/write-from data which all threads copy from
C                   (during read) or copy to (during write).
