 o HTML, scripts and front content
    - pick a URL
      TBD
-   - mitgcm.org very front page.
-     o too many clicks to get to model manual.
-       make doc link go to mitgcm.org/r2_web_testing/latest
-       and add "HowTo" reference etc... to /latest page
    - mitgcm.org/r2_web_testing/latest
      o add another short-cut for quick download

- zonal_filt/           - chapter 2 (JM to check)
- Possible for chap 7 - Daniels grafix/ stuff
+ manual, section.2 :
- Need to get packages to contain their available diagnostics (i.e. calls to DIAGNOSTICS_ADD). these are listed in stdout when pacakages are started.
+ In general:
+ - add more refences/links to S/R & variable name
+ - would be nice to have an active link to the fortran-file
+   for all the S/R & eq.Number in the "calling-tree" boxes
+ - search for CALC_MOM_RHS and replace it by the appropriate S/R
+   (mom_flux_form, mom_vecinv, dynamics)
+ - Problem with notation: in section.1 \vec{\bf v_h} (or \vec{\mathbf{v}}_{h})
+ was used for the horizontal velocity vector, and the 3.D vector was \vec{\mathbf{v}}
+ in section.2, \vec{\bf v} is used instead and 3.D velocity vector is
+ simply written \vec{v}.
+ I would suggest to keep the notation as they are (since they are consistent
+ inside each section) but may be to move the "notation.tex" piece
+ at the beginning of section.2 and to mention clearly the changes between
+ the 2 sections.
- Figure 6.8 is missing
+ in content: Horizontal Dissipation: 2 times in vector-invariant section
+.1 time-stepping (part2/time_stepping.tex)
- >>>> From Ed
+ - this is not clear to me:
- Here are the remaining bits for Chap 4 :
+ >> In all the above configurations it is also possible to substitute the
+ >> Adams-Bashforth with an alternative time-stepping scheme for terms
+ >> evaluated explicitly in time
-  - The grammar/flow could still use some work.  Boo was an English
-    major and has experience editing/proofing technical papers.  I
-    could print out a copy and ask her to read it and suggest
-    improvements.
-  - missing references (if you point me towards URLs, I'll add them
+.2 rigid-lid:
-    to the bibliography):
-      \ref{ref hoe and hill, ecmwf}
-      \ref{magicgarden}
-      \ref{IBMLAPI}
-      \ref{Memorychannel}
-      \ref{hoe-hill:99}
-  - There are a few empty sub-sections at the end of Chap 4 that
+ - At some point, would be better to replace "g \eta" with "\Phi_s (cg2d_x)"
-    should either be commented out or fleshed out.
+   to stay closer to the code.
+ - mention section 2.5 implicit-Time-stepping (for vertical viscosity)
- and thats about it for Chap 4.
+.3 linear free-surface:
+ - add ref(+link) to S/R names:
+ - add ref(+link) to Crank-Nickelson section 2.9.1
+.4 Adams-Bashforth
+ - add stability diagrams (I have some figures that I can put)
+ - add link for var. forcing_In_AB
+ - add S/R link for S/R ADAMS_BASHFORTH2
- Add more to quick links on front page
+.5 Implicit time-stepping
+ - add name of S/R: IMPLDIFF, GAD_IMPLICIT_R, MOM_U_IMPLICIT_R
+         SOLVE_TRIDIAGONAL, SOLVE_PENTADIAGONAL
+ - update: also used for vertical advection
- Chapter 6
+.6 Synchronous time-stepping:
+ - add link for S/R THERMODYNAMICS, DYNAMCIS, SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE,
+                    MOMENTUM_CORRECTION_STEP.
-    the master package diagram does not appear in the document
+.7 Stagger baroclinic time-stepping
+ - mention AB(T,S) instead of AB(Gt,Gs) (in development) at the end
-    pkg/ptracers doesn't seem to have any documentation (see packages list below)
+.8 NH
+ - add link & S/R names: CALC_GW, SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE, CG3D
+.9 Variants on Free-Surface
+ - Delta.t mis-written (eq.2.73)
+ - Eq.Num missing (has been fixed since)
+ - u* is stored in gU (and not in gUnm1)
+ - Phi_nh in NH_VARS.h
+ - add link to S/R file: SOLVE_FOR_PRESSURE, CALC_DIV_GHAT, CG2D, CG3D,
+   INI_CG2D, INI_CG3D
- >>>> From Andrea
+.9.1 Crank-Nickelson
+ - link for variable: implicSurfPress, implicDiv2DFlow, useRealFreshWater
+.9.2 NLFS
+ - eq.Nb are wrong in html
+ - 2.9.2.4 : set of eq. appears wrong in html (but right in .dvi)
- to do list for chap 7:
+.10.1 Notation
+ - Area definition is not really used like this
+ >> Ao : Area of the face orthogonal to "o" direction (o=u,v,w)
-.1.1 - links to section 7.1.4: the text of the first one should read "see MITgcm Kernel Diagnostics Menu"
+   Instead, in the following section, Ac,Aw,As,A_zeta (= corresponding to
-         the links are pointing to the proper place
+   the model variables) are used (e.g., see section 2.10.5)
-.5.1 - add Graphix to the list of stuff in utils/matlab
+.10.5 Horizontal grid:
-.5.2 - empty
+ - fig.2.8 : should use Aw,As consistently in this figure description,
+   in the figure itself, as it is in the text.
+ - curvilinear:
+   to add: mention the angle of the grid direction relative to
+   Eastward, Northward direction.
+   + mention horizGridFile= in file "data" (PARM04)
+ - add cylindrical polar grid description
+    need to do a better job of relating model variables to this diagram
- andrea
+.11 Continuity & Horizontal Pressure gradient terms
+  - mention that d.Phi/dr|s =g if using z coordinate
+  - eq. 2.90 not clear regarding \delta_k(P-E)
+  better to add the free surface eq: d.eta/dt = w_s + P-E
+.12 Hydrostatic balance
+  - add ref to Atmosphere Appendix section (1.4) since Adcroft 2002
+    is hard to find
+  - add ref to section 1.3.4 (Hydrostatic, Quasi-Hydrostatic & Non-H)
+     and in section 1.3.4: remove the 1.3.4.3.2 subsection:
+                        Quasi-nonhydrostatic Atmosphere
+.13.2 Coriolis terms
+  - note: the discretization used when useEnergyConservingCoriolis=T
+    has no hFac and no Area and is still different from the form
+    described here (with Area & hFac);
+.13.5 Lateral dissipation
+  - add description of how to use cosFactor & cosPower
+  - add the parameter correspondence: Ah <-> viscAh ; A4 <-> viscA4
+     o need to relate c11, c12 etc.. to COSFAC, USE_COS etc... flags
+       in code need to explain why cos()3/2 turns out to be
+       scaling (not cos()2)
+  - need to reference the smag/leith section.
+.13.6 Vertical dissipation
+  - mention the implicit vertical viscosity option and ref to section 2.5
+  - add the parameter correspondence: Av <-> viscAr (and might change also
+    the notation to Ar)
+.14 Vector invariant momentum equations
+  - indicate that the NH pieces (vertical momentum eq) are not yet coded
+    and that the NH code uses the flux form.
+.14.6 Horizontal dissipation -> Horizontal Divergence
+.14.7 Horizontal dissipation
+  - add the parameter correspondence: A_D,A_z <-> viscAhD,viscAhZ
+    and A_D4,A_z4 <-> viscA4D,viscA4Z
+.16 & 2.17 & 2.18 :
+  - add 1rst Order upwind option & DST-2 (Lax-Wendroff) options
+.20.2 mercator, non-dimensional Equations:
+ - does not use std notation
+ - would be better as an appendix of section 2.20:
+ (e.g changing the tile to:
+ - talk to Baylor
+  Appendix: non-dimensional Equations on Spherical-Polar grid.)

  >>>> From Andrea
-Line 337 
 Almost all of the 'math mode' text is dr
+Line 361 
 Almost all of the 'math mode' text is dr
  divide chapter 3 more clearly into 2 sections?
     (ie, 3.1-3.6 are more informational, 3.8- 3.18 are examples, and
      then 3.19 and 3.20 are informational again - rearrange subsections?)
+ [DONE]
 .1 - don't need a link to the outside of the document (remove it)
      - link to htdig is broken
-Line 421 
 the verification directory
+Line 446 
 the verification directory
       offline - duplicate inputs, what is it, tidy up cfc v.
                 other offline. JM thinks these need tidying up.
