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 - add cylindrical polar grid description
297 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 - need to reference the smag/leith section.
324
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 - talk to Baylor
348 Appendix: non-dimensional Equations on Spherical-Polar grid.)

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 [DONE]
365
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 >>>> 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.
