11 cnh 1.34 In this chapter and in the following chapter, the MITgcm ``packages'' are
12     described. While you can carry out many experiments with MITgcm by starting
13     from case studies in section \ref{sect:tutorials}, configuring
14     a brand new experiment or making major changes to an experimental configuration
15     requires some knowledge of the {\it packages}
16     that make up the full MITgcm code. Packages are used in MITgcm to
17     help organize and layer various code building blocks that are assembled
18     and selected to perform a specific experiment. Each of the specific experiments
19     described in section \ref{sect:tutorials} uses a particular combination
20     of packages.
21     Figure \ref{fig:package_organigramme} shows the full set of packages that
22     are available. As shown in the figure packages are classified into different
23     groupings that layer on top of each other. The top layer packages are
24     generally specialized to specific simulation types. In this layer there are
25     packages that deal with biogeochemical processes, ocean interior
26     and boundary layer processes, atmospheric processes, sea-ice, coupled
27     simulations and state estimation.
28     Below this layer are a set of general purpose
29     numerical and computational packages. The general purpose numerical packages
30     provide code for kernel numerical alogorithms
31     that apply to
32     many different simulation types. Similarly, the general purpose computational
33     packages implement non-numerical alogorithms that provide parallelism,
34     I/O and time-keeping functions that are used in many different scenarios.

46     \caption{ Hierarchy of code layers that are assembled to make up an MITgcm
47     simulation. Conceptually (and in terms of code organization) MITgcm consists
48     of several layers. At the base is a layer of core software that provides a
49     basic numerical and computational foundation for MITgcm simulations. This
50     layer is shown marked {\bf Foundation Code} at the bottom of the figure
51     and corresponds to code in the italicised subdirectories on the figure.
52     This layer is not organized into packages. All code above the foundation layer
53     is organized as packages. Much of the code in MITgcm is contained in packages
54     which serve as a useful way of organizing and layering the different levels of
55     functionality that make up the full MITgcm software distribution.
56     The figure shows the different packages in MITgcm as boxes containing bold
57     face upper case names. Directly above the foundation layer are two layers of
58     general purpose infrastructure software that consist of computational and
59     numerical packages. These general purpose packages can be applied to both
60     online and offline simulations and are used in many different physical
61     simulation types. Above these layers are more specialized packages. }
62     \end{figure}
63    
64     The following sections describe the packages shown in
65 cnh 1.35 figure \ref{fig:package_organiigramme}. Section \ref{sec:pkg:using}
66     describes the general procedure for using any package in MITgcm.
67     Following that sections \ref{}-\ref{}
68     layout the algorithms implemented in specific packages
69     and describe how to use the individual packages. A brief synopsis of the
70     function of each package is given in table \ref{tab:package_summary_tab}.
71 cnh 1.34 Organizationally package code is assigned a
72     separate subdirectory in the MITgcm code distribution
73     (within the source code directory \texttt{pkg}).
74     The name of this subdirectory is used as the package name in
75     table \ref{tab:package_summary_tab}.

78     %% represented explicitly in MITgcm are described. Some of these
79     %% processes are sub-grid scale (SGS) phenomena, other processes, such as
