357    
358     Figure 6.8 is missing
359    
360    
361     >>>> From Ed
362    
363     Here are the remaining bits for Chap 4 :
364    
365     - The grammar/flow could still use some work. Boo was an English
366     major and has experience editing/proofing technical papers. I
367     could print out a copy and ask her to read it and suggest
368     improvements.
369    
370     - missing references (if you point me towards URLs, I'll add them
371     to the bibliography):
372     \ref{ref hoe and hill, ecmwf}
373     \ref{magicgarden}
374     \ref{IBMLAPI}
375     \ref{Memorychannel}
376     \ref{hoe-hill:99}
377    
378     - There are a few empty sub-sections at the end of Chap 4 that
379     should either be commented out or fleshed out.
380    
381     and thats about it for Chap 4.
382    
383    
384     Add more to quick links on front page
385    
386    
387     >>>> From Andrea
388    
389     to do list for chap 7:
390    
391    
392 molod 1.2 7.1.1 - links to section 7.1.4: the text of the first one should read "see MITgcm Kernel Diagnostics Menu"
393 cnh 1.1 the links are pointing to the proper place
394    
395     7.5.1 - add Graphix to the list of stuff in utils/matlab
396     7.5.2 - empty
397

402    
403     Chapter 3
404     --------
405    
406     Almost all of the 'math mode' text is dropped down as subscripts
407    
408     divide chapter 3 more clearly into 2 sections?
409     (ie, 3.1-3.6 are more informational, 3.8- 3.18 are examples, and
410     then 3.19 and 3.20 are informational again - rearrange subsections?)
411    
412     3.1 - don't need a link to the outside of the document (remove it)
413     - link to htdig is broken
414    
415     3.2.1 - link at bottom to source code points to section 3.2.1
416     (ie, to itself) - link should point to cvs code archive
417    
418     3.2.2.1 - ('upgrading from an earlier version') belongs under
419     the cvs part, ie, should be 3.2.1.1
420    
421     3.3 - remove reference to 'diags' section under MITgcm
422     - remove reference to 'exe' and 'bin' sections also
423     (remove the .cvsignore file under these directories in cvs)
424     - add a 'jobs' section, and a description as examples of run scripts
425     - add 'lsopt', 'optim' and 'tutorial examples' with brief descriptions
426     - under 'tools' add a reference to 'build_options'. refer to the 'optfiles'
427     - under 'tools' the adjoint points to section 5 - this is now section 8
428     (but should be a floating reference)
429     - under 'utils' add a reference to exch2 - stuff for different resolutions
430     - the description of the pkg section refers directly to
431     section 3. should be section 6 (actually should be a floating reference)
432    
433     3.4 - refer to sections 3.8 - 3.18 (now says 3.8 - 3.10)
434     3.4.1 - links to the following experiments don't exist or are broken:
435     exp2 - should link to section 3.9
436     hs94.cs-32x32x5 - link to section 3.12
437     add 'convection' to the list, link to section 3.13
438     add 'plume on slope` to the list, link to section 3.14
439     add '??' link to section 3.15
440     add 'dic_example on slope` to the list, link to section 3.16
441     add '??' link to section 3.17
442     add 'offline' and link to section 3.18
443     clean up others and make links where they are needed
444     3.4.2 - text suggests to see section 2 for details about what is in the 'code'
445     and 'input' directories - should refer to the examples in this section
446     - add 'build' bullet - this is where the model is compiled and exectuable lives
447    
448     3.5 - add some little text when talking about 'optfiles' to refer to the tools/build_options
449     as the place where they live (add a link?)
450    
451     3.6.1 - Add some general 'approach' text - ie, output is controlled either by the
452     'data' file in the input directory or by the data.[pkg name] file for any
453     package running. And there is some default behavior when the 'state' dumps
454     are written.
455     3.6.1.2 - needs to be moved to inside section 3.6.2
456    
457     3.7 - this section is superfluous - remove it -OR- put the tutorial sections (3.8-3.18)
458     underneath this one and leave the text for 3.7 in place
459    
460     All the 'overview' sections need some reference to the name of the experiment in
461     the verification directory
462    
463     3.10 - in title, 4 degrees - degree symbol is a subscript, not a superscript
464     - is this experiment in the list from section 3.4???
465     3.10.3.1 - refers to figures and equations, links are broken
466    
467     3.11.3.2 - line 43: link to equation is broken
468     - line 51-53: link to equation is broken
469     - there is some mess of text hanging around the end of this section. remove? reformat?
470    
471     3.12.4.1 - line 34 - link to equation is broken
472     - lines 60,61 - 1st (take out the 'r' in the superscript)
473    
474     3.13.2 - link to theta-equation is broken
475     3.13.5.4 -- ALL of the bold links to variable names are broken
476     line 34: link to equation is broken
477    
478     3.15.1 - reference to 'fourth experiment' should be removed
479    
480     3.16.4 - strange formatting, presence of '>' symbols - remove them
481    
482     3.17.3 - unknown verification directory pointed to - also: no link from list in sec 3.4
483     3.17.3.1 - nothing filled in under file input/data - needs description
484    
485     3.18.2 - point to section 2 for details - need hyperlink
486    
487     3.19.1 - text (2 places) says that section 3.5 called for compile in 'input' directory - not true!
488     section 3.5 has the 'build' directory in the example
489    
490     3.20.1 - link to doc at end of section points to this section
491     3.20.2 - link to doc at end of section points to this section
492    
493     >>>> from JM
494    
495    
496    
497     manual, section.2 :
498    
499     In general:
500     - add more refences/links to S/R & variable name
501     - would be nice to have an active link to the fortran-file
502     for all the S/R & eq.Number in the "calling-tree" boxes
503     - search for CALC_MOM_RHS and replace it by the appropriate S/R
504     (mom_flux_form, mom_vecinv, dynamics)
505     - Problem with notation: in section.1 \vec{\bf v_h} (or \vec{\mathbf{v}}_{h})
506     was used for the horizontal velocity vector, and the 3.D vector was \vec{\mathbf{v}}
507     in section.2, \vec{\bf v} is used instead and 3.D velocity vector is
508     simply written \vec{v}.
509     I would suggest to keep the notation as they are (since they are consistent
510     inside each section) but may be to move the "notation.tex" piece
511     at the beginning of section.2 and to mention clearly the changes between
512     the 2 sections.
513    
514     in content: Horizontal Dissipation: 2 times in vector-invariant section
515    
516     2.1 time-stepping (part2/time_stepping.tex)
517    
518     - this is not clear to me:
519    
520     >> In all the above configurations it is also possible to substitute the
521     >> Adams-Bashforth with an alternative time-stepping scheme for terms
522     >> evaluated explicitly in time
523    
524

527     - At some point, would be better to replace "g \eta" with "\Phi_s (cg2d_x)"
528     to stay closer to the code.
529     - mention section 2.5 implicit-Time-stepping (for vertical viscosity)
530    
531     2.3 linear free-surface:
532     - add ref(+link) to S/R names:
533     - add ref(+link) to Crank-Nickelson section 2.9.1
534    
535     2.4 Adams-Bashforth
536     - add stability diagrams (I have some figures that I can put)
537     - add link for var. forcing_In_AB
538     - add S/R link for S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2
539    
540     2.5 Implicit time-stepping
541     - add name of S/R: IMPLDIFF, GAD_IMPLICIT_R, MOM_U_IMPLICIT_R
542     SOLVE_TRIDIAGONAL, SOLVE_PENTADIAGONAL
543     - update: also used for vertical advection
544    
545     2.6 Synchronous time-stepping:
546     - add link for S/R THERMODYNAMICS, DYNAMCIS, SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE,
547     MOMENTUM_CORRECTION_STEP.
548    
549     2.7 Stagger baroclinic time-stepping
550     - mention AB(T,S) instead of AB(Gt,Gs) (in development) at the end
551    
552     2.8 NH
553     - add link & S/R names: CALC_GW, SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE, CG3D
554    
555     2.9 Variants on Free-Surface
556     - Delta.t mis-written (eq.2.73)
557     - Eq.Num missing (has been fixed since)
558     - u* is stored in gU (and not in gUnm1)
559     - Phi_nh in NH_VARS.h
560     - add link to S/R file: SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE, CALC_DIV_GHAT, CG2D, CG3D,
561     INI_CG2D, INI_CG3D
562    
563     2.9.1 Crank-Nickelson
564     - link for variable: implicSurfPress, implicDiv2DFlow, useRealFreshWater
565    
566     2.9.2 NLFS
567     - eq.Nb are wrong in html
568     - 2.9.2.4 : set of eq. appears wrong in html (but right in .dvi)
569    
570     2.10.1 Notation
571     - Area definition is not really used like this
572    
573     >> Ao : Area of the face orthogonal to "o" direction (o=u,v,w)
574    
575     Instead, in the following section, Ac,Aw,As,A_zeta (= corresponding to
576     the model variables) are used (e.g., see section 2.10.5)
577    
578     2.10.5 Horizontal grid:
579     - fig.2.8 : should use Aw,As consistently in this figure description,
580     in the figure itself, as it is in the text.
581     - curvilinear:
582     to add: mention the angle of the grid direction relative to
583     Eastward, Northward direction.
584     + mention horizGridFile= in file "data" (PARM04)
585     - add cylindrical grid description
586    
587     2.11 Continuity & Horizontal Pressure gradient terms
588     - mention that d.Phi/dr|s =g if using z coordinate
589     - eq. 2.90 not clear regarding \delta_k(P-E)
590     better to add the free surface eq: d.eta/dt = w_s + P-E
591    
592     2.12 Hydrostatic balance
593     - add ref to Atmosphere Appendix section (1.4) since Adcroft 2002
594     is hard to find
595     - add ref to section 1.3.4 (Hydrostatic, Quasi-Hydrostatic & Non-H)
596     and in section 1.3.4: remove the 1.3.4.3.2 subsection:
597     Quasi-nonhydrostatic Atmosphere
598    
599     2.13.2 Coriolis terms
600     - note: the discretization used when useEnergyConservingCoriolis=T
601     has no hFac and no Area and is still different from the form
602     described here (with Area & hFac);
603    
604     2.13.5 Lateral dissipation
605     - add description of how to use cosFactor & cosPower
606     - add the parameter correspondence: Ah <-> viscAh ; A4 <-> viscA4
607    
608     2.13.6 Vertical dissipation
609     - mention the implicit vertical viscosity option and ref to section 2.5
610     - add the parameter correspondence: Av <-> viscAr (and might change also
611     the notation to Ar)
612    
613     2.14 Vector invariant momentum equations
614     - indicate that the NH pieces (vertical momentum eq) are not yet coded
615     and that the NH code uses the flux form.
616    
617     2.14.6 Horizontal dissipation -> Horizontal Divergence
618    
619     2.14.7 Horizontal dissipation
620     - add the parameter correspondence: A_D,A_z <-> viscAhD,viscAhZ
621     and A_D4,A_z4 <-> viscA4D,viscA4Z
622    
623     2.16 & 2.17 & 2.18 :
624     - add 1rst Order upwind option & DST-2 (Lax-Wendroff) options
625    
626     2.20.2 mercator, non-dimensional Equations:
627     - does not use std notation
628     - would be better as an appendix of section 2.20:
629     (e.g changing the tile to:
630     Appendix: non-dimensional Equations on Spherical-Polar grid.)
