205 cnh 1.10 >>>> from JM
206    
207    
208     manual, section.2 :
209    
210     In general:
211     - add more refences/links to S/R & variable name
212     - would be nice to have an active link to the fortran-file
213     for all the S/R & eq.Number in the "calling-tree" boxes
214     - search for CALC_MOM_RHS and replace it by the appropriate S/R
215     (mom_flux_form, mom_vecinv, dynamics)
216     - Problem with notation: in section.1 \vec{\bf v_h} (or \vec{\mathbf{v}}_{h})
217     was used for the horizontal velocity vector, and the 3.D vector was \vec{\mathbf{v}}
218     in section.2, \vec{\bf v} is used instead and 3.D velocity vector is
219     simply written \vec{v}.
220     I would suggest to keep the notation as they are (since they are consistent
221     inside each section) but may be to move the "notation.tex" piece
222     at the beginning of section.2 and to mention clearly the changes between
223     the 2 sections.
224    
225     in content: Horizontal Dissipation: 2 times in vector-invariant section
226    
227     2.1 time-stepping (part2/time_stepping.tex)
228    
229     - this is not clear to me:
230    
231     >> In all the above configurations it is also possible to substitute the
232     >> Adams-Bashforth with an alternative time-stepping scheme for terms
233     >> evaluated explicitly in time
234    
235    
236     2.2 rigid-lid:
237    
238     - At some point, would be better to replace "g \eta" with "\Phi_s (cg2d_x)"
239     to stay closer to the code.
240     - mention section 2.5 implicit-Time-stepping (for vertical viscosity)
241    
242     2.3 linear free-surface:
243     - add ref(+link) to S/R names:
244     - add ref(+link) to Crank-Nickelson section 2.9.1
245    
246     2.4 Adams-Bashforth
247     - add stability diagrams (I have some figures that I can put)
248     - add link for var. forcing_In_AB
249     - add S/R link for S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2
250    
251     2.5 Implicit time-stepping
252     - add name of S/R: IMPLDIFF, GAD_IMPLICIT_R, MOM_U_IMPLICIT_R
253     SOLVE_TRIDIAGONAL, SOLVE_PENTADIAGONAL
254     - update: also used for vertical advection
255    
256     2.6 Synchronous time-stepping:
257     - add link for S/R THERMODYNAMICS, DYNAMCIS, SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE,
258     MOMENTUM_CORRECTION_STEP.
259    
260     2.7 Stagger baroclinic time-stepping
261     - mention AB(T,S) instead of AB(Gt,Gs) (in development) at the end
262    
263     2.8 NH
264     - add link & S/R names: CALC_GW, SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE, CG3D
265    
266     2.9 Variants on Free-Surface
267     - Delta.t mis-written (eq.2.73)
268     - Eq.Num missing (has been fixed since)
269     - u* is stored in gU (and not in gUnm1)
270     - Phi_nh in NH_VARS.h
271     - add link to S/R file: SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE, CALC_DIV_GHAT, CG2D, CG3D,
272     INI_CG2D, INI_CG3D
273    
274     2.9.1 Crank-Nickelson
275     - link for variable: implicSurfPress, implicDiv2DFlow, useRealFreshWater
276    
277     2.9.2 NLFS
278     - eq.Nb are wrong in html
279     - 2.9.2.4 : set of eq. appears wrong in html (but right in .dvi)
280    
281     2.10.1 Notation
282     - Area definition is not really used like this
283    
284     >> Ao : Area of the face orthogonal to "o" direction (o=u,v,w)
285    
286     Instead, in the following section, Ac,Aw,As,A_zeta (= corresponding to
287     the model variables) are used (e.g., see section 2.10.5)
288    
289     2.10.5 Horizontal grid:
290     - fig.2.8 : should use Aw,As consistently in this figure description,
291     in the figure itself, as it is in the text.
292     - curvilinear:
293     to add: mention the angle of the grid direction relative to
294     Eastward, Northward direction.
295     + mention horizGridFile= in file "data" (PARM04)
296 cnh 1.13 - add cylindrical polar grid description
297 cnh 1.10 need to do a better job of relating model variables to this diagram
298    
299    
300     2.11 Continuity & Horizontal Pressure gradient terms
301     - mention that d.Phi/dr|s =g if using z coordinate
302     - eq. 2.90 not clear regarding \delta_k(P-E)
303     better to add the free surface eq: d.eta/dt = w_s + P-E
304    
305     2.12 Hydrostatic balance
306     - add ref to Atmosphere Appendix section (1.4) since Adcroft 2002
307     is hard to find
308     - add ref to section 1.3.4 (Hydrostatic, Quasi-Hydrostatic & Non-H)
309     and in section 1.3.4: remove the 1.3.4.3.2 subsection:
310     Quasi-nonhydrostatic Atmosphere
311    
312     2.13.2 Coriolis terms
313     - note: the discretization used when useEnergyConservingCoriolis=T
314     has no hFac and no Area and is still different from the form
315     described here (with Area & hFac);
316    
317     2.13.5 Lateral dissipation
318     - add description of how to use cosFactor & cosPower
319     - add the parameter correspondence: Ah <-> viscAh ; A4 <-> viscA4
320     o need to relate c11, c12 etc.. to COSFAC, USE_COS etc... flags
321     in code need to explain why cos()3/2 turns out to be
322     scaling (not cos()2)
323 cnh 1.15 - need to reference the smag/leith section.
324 cnh 1.10
325     2.13.6 Vertical dissipation
326     - mention the implicit vertical viscosity option and ref to section 2.5
327     - add the parameter correspondence: Av <-> viscAr (and might change also
328     the notation to Ar)
329    
330     2.14 Vector invariant momentum equations
331     - indicate that the NH pieces (vertical momentum eq) are not yet coded
332     and that the NH code uses the flux form.
333    
334     2.14.6 Horizontal dissipation -> Horizontal Divergence
335    
336     2.14.7 Horizontal dissipation
337     - add the parameter correspondence: A_D,A_z <-> viscAhD,viscAhZ
338     and A_D4,A_z4 <-> viscA4D,viscA4Z
339    
340     2.16 & 2.17 & 2.18 :
341     - add 1rst Order upwind option & DST-2 (Lax-Wendroff) options
342    
343     2.20.2 mercator, non-dimensional Equations:
344     - does not use std notation
345     - would be better as an appendix of section 2.20:
346     (e.g changing the tile to:
347 cnh 1.12 - talk to Baylor
348 cnh 1.10 Appendix: non-dimensional Equations on Spherical-Polar grid.)
349 cnh 1.12
350 cnh 1.10

354     >>>> From Andrea
355    
356     Chapter 3
357     --------
358    
359     Almost all of the 'math mode' text is dropped down as subscripts
360    
361     divide chapter 3 more clearly into 2 sections?
362     (ie, 3.1-3.6 are more informational, 3.8- 3.18 are examples, and
363     then 3.19 and 3.20 are informational again - rearrange subsections?)
364 cnh 1.15 [DONE]
365 cnh 1.11
366     3.1 - don't need a link to the outside of the document (remove it)
367     - link to htdig is broken
368    
369     3.2.1 - link at bottom to source code points to section 3.2.1
370     (ie, to itself) - link should point to cvs code archive
371    
372     3.2.2.1 - ('upgrading from an earlier version') belongs under
373     the cvs part, ie, should be 3.2.1.1
374    
375     3.3 - remove reference to 'diags' section under MITgcm
376     - remove reference to 'exe' and 'bin' sections also
377     (remove the .cvsignore file under these directories in cvs)
378     - add a 'jobs' section, and a description as examples of run scripts
379     - add 'lsopt', 'optim' and 'tutorial examples' with brief descriptions
380     - under 'tools' add a reference to 'build_options'. refer to the 'optfiles'
381     - under 'tools' the adjoint points to section 5 - this is now section 8
382     (but should be a floating reference)
383     - under 'utils' add a reference to exch2 - stuff for different resolutions
384     - the description of the pkg section refers directly to
385     section 3. should be section 6 (actually should be a floating reference)
386    
387     3.4 - refer to sections 3.8 - 3.18 (now says 3.8 - 3.10)
388     3.4.1 - links to the following experiments don't exist or are broken:
389     exp2 - should link to section 3.9
390     hs94.cs-32x32x5 - link to section 3.12
391     add 'convection' to the list, link to section 3.13
392     add 'plume on slope` to the list, link to section 3.14
393     add '??' link to section 3.15
394     add 'dic_example on slope` to the list, link to section 3.16
395     add '??' link to section 3.17
396     add 'offline' and link to section 3.18
397     clean up others and make links where they are needed
398     3.4.2 - text suggests to see section 2 for details about what is in the 'code'
399     and 'input' directories - should refer to the examples in this section
400     - add 'build' bullet - this is where the model is compiled and exectuable lives
401    
402     3.5 - add some little text when talking about 'optfiles' to refer to the tools/build_options
403     as the place where they live (add a link?)
404    
405     3.6.1 - Add some general 'approach' text - ie, output is controlled either by the
406     'data' file in the input directory or by the data.[pkg name] file for any
407     package running. And there is some default behavior when the 'state' dumps
408     are written.
409     3.6.1.2 - needs to be moved to inside section 3.6.2
410    
411     3.7 - this section is superfluous - remove it -OR- put the tutorial sections (3.8-3.18)
412     underneath this one and leave the text for 3.7 in place
413    
414     All the 'overview' sections need some reference to the name of the experiment in
415     the verification directory
416    
417     3.10 - in title, 4 degrees - degree symbol is a subscript, not a superscript
418     - is this experiment in the list from section 3.4???
419     3.10.3.1 - refers to figures and equations, links are broken
420    
421     3.11.3.2 - line 43: link to equation is broken
422     - line 51-53: link to equation is broken
423     - there is some mess of text hanging around the end of this section. remove? reformat?
424    
425     3.12.4.1 - line 34 - link to equation is broken
426     - lines 60,61 - 1st (take out the 'r' in the superscript)
427    
428     3.13.2 - link to theta-equation is broken
429     3.13.5.4 -- ALL of the bold links to variable names are broken
430     line 34: link to equation is broken
431    
432     3.15.1 - reference to 'fourth experiment' should be removed
433    
434     3.16.4 - strange formatting, presence of '>' symbols - remove them
435    
436     3.17.3 - unknown verification directory pointed to - also: no link from list in sec 3.4
437     3.17.3.1 - nothing filled in under file input/data - needs description
438    
439     3.18.2 - point to section 2 for details - need hyperlink
440    
441     3.19.1 - text (2 places) says that section 3.5 called for compile in 'input' directory - not true!
442     section 3.5 has the 'build' directory in the example
443    
444     3.20.1 - link to doc at end of section points to this section
445     3.20.2 - link to doc at end of section points to this section
446    
447     offline - duplicate inputs, what is it, tidy up cfc v.
448     other offline. JM thinks these need tidying up.
449 cnh 1.10 >>>> From Ed
450    
451     Here are the remaining bits for Chap 4 :
452    
453     - The grammar/flow could still use some work. Boo was an English
454     major and has experience editing/proofing technical papers. I
455     could print out a copy and ask her to read it and suggest
456     improvements.
457    
458     - missing references (if you point me towards URLs, I'll add them
459     to the bibliography):
460     \ref{ref hoe and hill, ecmwf}
461     \ref{magicgarden}
462     \ref{IBMLAPI}
463     \ref{Memorychannel}
464     \ref{hoe-hill:99}
465    
466     - There are a few empty sub-sections at the end of Chap 4 that
467     should either be commented out or fleshed out.
468    
469     and thats about it for Chap 4.
470
