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

356 >>>> From Andrea
357
358 Chapter 3
359 --------
360
361 Almost all of the 'math mode' text is dropped down as subscripts
362
363 divide chapter 3 more clearly into 2 sections?
364 (ie, 3.1-3.6 are more informational, 3.8- 3.18 are examples, and
365 then 3.19 and 3.20 are informational again - rearrange subsections?)
366
367 3.1 - don't need a link to the outside of the document (remove it)
368 - link to htdig is broken
369
370 3.2.1 - link at bottom to source code points to section 3.2.1
371 (ie, to itself) - link should point to cvs code archive
372
373 3.2.2.1 - ('upgrading from an earlier version') belongs under
374 the cvs part, ie, should be 3.2.1.1
375
376 3.3 - remove reference to 'diags' section under MITgcm
377 - remove reference to 'exe' and 'bin' sections also
378 (remove the .cvsignore file under these directories in cvs)
379 - add a 'jobs' section, and a description as examples of run scripts
380 - add 'lsopt', 'optim' and 'tutorial examples' with brief descriptions
381 - under 'tools' add a reference to 'build_options'. refer to the 'optfiles'
382 - under 'tools' the adjoint points to section 5 - this is now section 8
383 (but should be a floating reference)
384 - under 'utils' add a reference to exch2 - stuff for different resolutions
385 - the description of the pkg section refers directly to
386 section 3. should be section 6 (actually should be a floating reference)
387
388 3.4 - refer to sections 3.8 - 3.18 (now says 3.8 - 3.10)
389 3.4.1 - links to the following experiments don't exist or are broken:
390 exp2 - should link to section 3.9
391 hs94.cs-32x32x5 - link to section 3.12
392 add 'convection' to the list, link to section 3.13
393 add 'plume on slope` to the list, link to section 3.14
394 add '??' link to section 3.15
395 add 'dic_example on slope` to the list, link to section 3.16
396 add '??' link to section 3.17
397 add 'offline' and link to section 3.18
398 clean up others and make links where they are needed
399 3.4.2 - text suggests to see section 2 for details about what is in the 'code'
400 and 'input' directories - should refer to the examples in this section
401 - add 'build' bullet - this is where the model is compiled and exectuable lives
402
403 3.5 - add some little text when talking about 'optfiles' to refer to the tools/build_options
404 as the place where they live (add a link?)
405
406 3.6.1 - Add some general 'approach' text - ie, output is controlled either by the
407 'data' file in the input directory or by the data.[pkg name] file for any
408 package running. And there is some default behavior when the 'state' dumps
409 are written.
410 3.6.1.2 - needs to be moved to inside section 3.6.2
411
412 3.7 - this section is superfluous - remove it -OR- put the tutorial sections (3.8-3.18)
413 underneath this one and leave the text for 3.7 in place
414
415 All the 'overview' sections need some reference to the name of the experiment in
416 the verification directory
417
418 3.10 - in title, 4 degrees - degree symbol is a subscript, not a superscript
419 - is this experiment in the list from section 3.4???
420 3.10.3.1 - refers to figures and equations, links are broken
421
422 3.11.3.2 - line 43: link to equation is broken
423 - line 51-53: link to equation is broken
424 - there is some mess of text hanging around the end of this section. remove? reformat?
425
426 3.12.4.1 - line 34 - link to equation is broken
427 - lines 60,61 - 1st (take out the 'r' in the superscript)
428
429 3.13.2 - link to theta-equation is broken
430 3.13.5.4 -- ALL of the bold links to variable names are broken
431 line 34: link to equation is broken
432
433 3.15.1 - reference to 'fourth experiment' should be removed
434
435 3.16.4 - strange formatting, presence of '>' symbols - remove them
436
437 3.17.3 - unknown verification directory pointed to - also: no link from list in sec 3.4
438 3.17.3.1 - nothing filled in under file input/data - needs description
439
440 3.18.2 - point to section 2 for details - need hyperlink
441
442 3.19.1 - text (2 places) says that section 3.5 called for compile in 'input' directory - not true!
443 section 3.5 has the 'build' directory in the example
444
445 3.20.1 - link to doc at end of section points to this section
446 3.20.2 - link to doc at end of section points to this section
447
448 offline - duplicate inputs, what is it, tidy up cfc v.
449 other offline. JM thinks these need tidying up.
450 >>>> From Ed
451
452 Here are the remaining bits for Chap 4 :
453
454 - The grammar/flow could still use some work. Boo was an English
455 major and has experience editing/proofing technical papers. I
456 could print out a copy and ask her to read it and suggest
457 improvements.
458
459 - missing references (if you point me towards URLs, I'll add them
460 to the bibliography):
461 \ref{ref hoe and hill, ecmwf}
462 \ref{magicgarden}
463 \ref{IBMLAPI}
464 \ref{Memorychannel}
465 \ref{hoe-hill:99}
466
467 - There are a few empty sub-sections at the end of Chap 4 that
468 should either be commented out or fleshed out.
469
470 and thats about it for Chap 4.
471
472
473 Add more to quick links on front page
474
475 Chapter 6
