This section of the documentation describes the Diagnostics package | 
| 11 | 
  | 
  | 
available within the GCM.  A large selection of model diagnostics is | 
| 12 | 
  | 
  | 
available for output.  In addition to the diagnostic quantities | 
| 13 | 
  | 
  | 
pre-defined in the GCM, there exists the option, in any experiment, to | 
| 14 | 
  | 
  | 
define a new diagnostic quantity and include it as part of the | 
| 15 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostic output with the addition of a single subroutine call in the | 
| 16 | 
  | 
  | 
routine where the field is computed. As a matter of philosophy, no | 
| 17 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostic is enabled as default, thus each user must specify the | 
| 18 | 
  | 
  | 
exact diagnostic information required for an experiment.  This is | 
| 19 | 
  | 
  | 
accomplished by enabling the specific diagnostic of interest cataloged | 
| 20 | 
  | 
  | 
in the Diagnostic Menu (see Section \ref{sec:diagnostics:menu}). | 
| 21 | 
  | 
  | 
Instructions for enabling diagnostic output and defining new | 
| 22 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostic quantities are found in Section | 
| 23 |

The Diagnostic Menu in this section of the manual is a listing of | 
| 27 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostic quantities available within the main (dynamics) part of the | 
| 28 | 
  | 
  | 
GCM. Additional diagnostic quantities, defined within the different | 
| 29 | 
  | 
  | 
GCM packages, are available and are listed in the diagnostic menu | 
| 30 | 
  | 
  | 
subsection of the manual section associated with each relevant | 
| 31 | 
  | 
  | 
package. Once a diagnostic is enabled, the GCM will continually | 
| 32 | 
  | 
  | 
increment an array specifically allocated for that diagnostic whenever | 
| 33 | 
  | 
  | 
the appropriate quantity is computed.  A counter is defined which | 
| 34 | 
  | 
  | 
records how many times each diagnostic quantity has been incremented. | 
| 35 | 
  | 
  | 
Several special diagnostics are included in the menu. Quantities | 
| 36 | 
  | 
  | 
refered to as ``Counter Diagnostics'', are defined for selected | 
| 37 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostics which record the frequency at which a diagnostic is | 
| 38 | 
  | 
  | 
incremented separately for each model grid location.  Quantitied | 
| 39 | 
  | 
  | 
refered to as ``User Diagnostics'' are included in the menu to | 
| 40 | 
  | 
  | 
facilitate defining new diagnostics for a particular experiment. |

  | 
  | 
enable, disable, clear, write and retrieve model diagnostics, and may | 
| 51 | 
  | 
  | 
be called from any routine.  The available utilities and the CALL |

The diagnostics are computed at various times and places within the | 
| 195 | 
  | 
  | 
GCM. Because MITgcm may employ a staggered grid, diagnostics may be | 
| 196 | 
  | 
  | 
computed at grid box centers, corners, or edges, and at the middle or | 
| 197 | 
  | 
  | 
edge in the vertical. Some diagnostics are scalars, while others are | 
| 198 | 
  | 
  | 
components of vectors. An internal array is defined which contains | 
| 199 | 
  | 
  | 
information concerning various grid attributes of each diagnostic. The | 
| 200 | 
  | 
  | 
GDIAG array (in common block {\tt diagnostics} in file {\tt |

  | 
  DIAGNOSTICS.h}) is internally defined as a character*8 variable, and | 
| 202 | 
  | 
  | 
is equivalenced to a character*1 "parse" array in output in order to |

  | 
  | 
As an example, consider a diagnostic whose associated GDIAG parameter is equal | 
| 238 | 
  | 
  | 
to ``UU  002''.  From GDIAG we can determine that this diagnostic is a  | 
| 239 | 
  | 
  | 
U-vector component located at the C-grid U-point. | 
| 240 | 
  | 
  | 
Its corresponding V-component diagnostic is located in Diagnostic \# 002. | 
| 241 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
| 242 | 
  | 
  | 
\noindent | 
| 243 | 
  | 
  | 
In this way, each Diagnostic in the model has its attributes (ie. vector or scalar, | 
| 244 | 
  | 
  | 
C-grid location, etc.) defined internally.  The Output routines use this information  | 
| 245 | 
  | 
  | 
in order to determine what type of transformations need to be performed.  Any  | 
| 246 | 
  | 
  | 
interpolations are done at the time of output rather than during each model step. | 
| 247 | 
  | 
  | 
In this way the User has flexibility in determining the type of gridded data which  | 
| 248 | 
  | 
  | 
is output. |

| 254 | 
  | 
  | 
To use the diagnostics package, other than enabling it in packages.conf | 
| 255 | 
  | 
  | 
and turning the usediagnostics flag in data.pkg to .TRUE., there are two | 
| 256 | 
  | 
  | 
further steps the user must take to enable the diagnostics package for | 
| 257 | 
  | 
  | 
output of quantities that are already defined in the GCM under an experiment's | 
| 258 | 
  | 
  | 
configuration of packages.  A namelist must be supplied in the run directory  | 
| 259 | 
  | 
  | 
called data.diagnostics, and the file DIAGNOSTICS\_SIZE.h must be included in the  | 
| 260 | 
  | 
  | 
code directory.  The steps for defining a new (permanent or experiment-specific  | 
| 261 | 
  | 
  | 
temporary) diagnostic quantity will be outlined later.  | 
| 262 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
| 263 | 
  | 
  | 
\noindent The namelist will activate a user-defined list of diagnostics quantities  | 
| 264 | 
  | 
  | 
to be computed, specify the frequency and type of output, the number of levels, and  | 
| 265 | 
  | 
  | 
the name of all the separate output files. A sample data.diagnostics namelist file: |

  | 
  | 
In this example, there are two output files that will be generated for | 
| 287 | 
  | 
  | 
each tile and for each output time. The first set of output files has | 
| 288 | 
  | 
  | 
the prefix diagout1, does time averaging every 86400. seconds, | 
| 289 | 
  | 
  | 
(frequency is 86400.), and will write fields which are multiple-level | 
| 290 | 
  | 
  | 
fields at output levels 1-5. The names of diagnostics quantities are | 
| 291 | 
  | 
  | 
UVEL and VVEL.  The second set of output files has the prefix | 
| 292 | 
  | 
  | 
diagout2, does time averaging every 3600. seconds, includes fields | 
| 293 | 
  | 
  | 
which are multiple-level fields, levels output are 1-5, and the names | 
| 294 | 
  | 
  | 
of diagnostics quantities are THETA and SALT. |

The user must assure that enough computer memory is allocated for the | 
| 298 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostics and the output streams selected for a particular | 
| 299 | 
  | 
  | 
experiment.  This is acomplished by modifying the file | 
| 300 | 
  | 
  | 
DIAGNOSTICS\_SIZE.h and including it in the experiment code directory. | 
| 301 | 
  | 
  | 
The parameters that should be checked are called numdiags, numlists, | 
| 302 | 
  | 
  | 
numperlist, and diagSt\_size. |

\noindent All GCM diagnostic quantities are stored in the single diagnostic array QDIAG  | 
| 306 | 
  | 
  | 
which is located in the file \\ \filelink{pkg/diagnostics/DIAGNOSTICS.h}{pkg-diagnostics-DIAGNOSTICS.h}.\\ |

1.2 | 
\begin{verbatim} |

  | 
  | 
     &     qdiag(1-Olx,sNx+Olx,1-Olx,sNx+Olx,numdiags,Nsx,Nsy) | 
| 311 | 
  | 
  | 
\end{verbatim} | 
| 312 | 
  | 
  | 
\noindent | 
| 313 | 
  | 
  | 
The first two-dimensions of qdiag correspond to the horizontal | 
| 314 | 
  | 
  | 
dimension of a given diagnostic, and the third dimension of qdiag is | 
| 315 | 
  | 
  | 
used to identify diagnostic fields and levels combined. In order to | 
| 316 | 
  | 
  | 
minimize the memory requirement of the model for diagnostics, the | 
| 317 | 
  | 
  | 
default GCM executable is compiled with room for only one horizontal | 
| 318 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostic array, or with numdiags set to Nr. In order for the User to | 
| 319 | 
  | 
  | 
enable more than 1 three-dimensional diagnostic, the size of the | 
| 320 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostics common must be expanded to accomodate the desired | 
| 321 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostics.  This can be accomplished by manually changing the | 
| 322 | 
  | 
  | 
parameter numdiags in the file | 
| 323 | 
  | 
  | 
\filelink{pkg/diagnostics/DIAGNOSTICS\_SIZE.h}{pkg-diagnostics-DIAGNOSTICS\_SIZE.h}. | 
| 324 | 
  | 
  | 
numdiags should be set greater than or equal to the sum of all the | 
| 325 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostics activated for output each multiplied by the number of | 
| 326 | 
  | 
  | 
levels defined for that diagnostic quantity.  For the above example, | 
| 327 | 
  | 
  | 
there are 4 multiple level fields, which the diagnostics menu (see | 
| 328 | 
  | 
  | 
below) indicates are defined at the GCM vertical resolution, Nr. The | 
| 329 | 
  | 
  | 
value of numdiag in DIAGNOSTICS\_SIZE.h would therefore be equal to | 
| 330 | 
  | 
  | 
4*Nr, or, say 40 if $Nr=10$. | 
| 331 | 
molod |

  | 
  | 
\noindent numlists and numperlist: \\ | 
| 333 | 
edhill | 
1.2 | 
\noindent The parameter numlists must be set greater than or equal to | 
| 334 | 
  | 
  | 
the number of separate output streams that the user specifies in the | 
| 335 | 
  | 
  | 
namelist file data.diagnostics.  The parameter numperlist corresponds | 
| 336 | 
  | 
  | 
to the number of diagnostics requested in each output stream. | 
| 337 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
| 338 | 
  | 
  | 
\noindent | 
| 339 | 
  | 
  | 
In order to define and include as part of the diagnostic output any | 
| 340 | 
  | 
  | 
field that is desired for a particular experiment, two steps must be | 
| 341 | 
  | 
  | 
taken. The first is to enable the ``User Diagnostic'' in | 
| 342 | 
  | 
  | 
data.diagnostics. This is accomplished by adding one of the ``User | 
| 343 | 
  | 
  | 
Diagnostic'' field names (UDIAG1 through UDIAG10, for multi-level | 
| 344 | 
  | 
  | 
fields, or SDIAG1 through SDIAG10 for single level fields) to the | 
| 345 | 
  | 
  | 
data.diagnostics namelist in one of the output streams. These fields | 
| 346 | 
  | 
  | 
are listed in the diagnostics menu. The second step is to add a call | 
| 347 | 
  | 
  | 
to diagnostics\_fill from the subroutine in which the quantity desired | 
| 348 | 
  | 
  | 
for diagnostic output is computed. | 
| 349 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
| 350 | 
  | 
  | 
\noindent | 
| 351 | 
  | 
  | 
In order to add a new diagnostic to the permanent set of diagnostics | 
| 352 | 
  | 
  | 
that the main model or any package contains as part of its diagnostics | 
| 353 | 
  | 
  | 
menu, the subroutine diagnostics\_add2list should be called during the | 
| 354 | 
  | 
  | 
initialization phase of the main model or package. For the main model, | 
| 355 | 
  | 
  | 
the call should be made from subroutine diagnostics\_main\_init, and | 
| 356 | 
  | 
  | 
for a package, the call should probably be made from somewhere in the | 
| 357 | 
  | 
  | 
packages\_init\_fixed sequence (probaby from inside the particular | 
| 358 | 
  | 
  | 
package's init\_fixed routine). A typical code sequence to set the | 
| 359 | 
molod | 
1.1 | 
input arguments to diagnostics\_add2list would look like: | 
| 360 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
| 361 | 
edhill | 
1.2 | 
\begin{verbatim} | 
| 362 | 
  | 
  | 
      diagName  = 'THETA   ' | 
| 363 | 
  | 
  | 
      diagTitle = 'Potential Temperature (degC,K)' | 
| 364 | 
  | 
  | 
      diagUnits = 'Degrees K       ' | 
| 365 | 
  | 
  | 
      diagCode  = 'SM      MR      ' | 
| 366 | 
  | 
  | 
      CALL DIAGNOSTICS\_ADD2LIST( diagNum, | 
| 367 | 
  | 
  | 
     I          diagName, diagCode, diagUnits, diagTitle, myThid ) | 
| 368 | 
  | 
  | 
\end{verbatim} | 
| 369 | 
  | 
  | 
 | 
| 370 | 
  | 
  | 
\noindent If the new diagnostic quantity is associated with either a | 
| 371 | 
  | 
  | 
vector pair or a diagnostic counter, the diagCode argument must be | 
| 372 | 
  | 
  | 
filled with the proper index for the ``mate''. The output argument | 
| 373 | 
  | 
  | 
from diagnostics\_add2list that is called diagNum here contains a | 
| 374 | 
  | 
  | 
running total of the number of diagnostics defined in the code up to | 
| 375 | 
  | 
  | 
any point during the run. The sequence number for the next two | 
| 376 | 
  | 
  | 
diagnostics defined (the two components of the vector pair, for | 
| 377 | 
  | 
  | 
instance) will be diagNum+1 and diagNum+2. The definition of the first | 
| 378 | 
  | 
  | 
component of the vector pair must fill the ``mate'' segment of the | 
| 379 | 
  | 
  | 
diagCode as diagnostic number diagNum+2.  Since the subroutine | 
| 380 | 
  | 
  | 
increments diagNum, the definition of the second component of the | 
| 381 | 
  | 
  | 
vector fills the ``mate'' part of diagCode with diagNum. A code | 
| 382 | 
  | 
  | 
sequence for this case would look like: | 
| 383 | 
  |
