7  In this chapter the schemes for parameterizing processes  \begin{rawhtml}
8  that are not represented explicitly in MITgcm are described.  <!-- CMIREDIR:packages: -->
9  Some of these processes are sub-grid scale (SGS) phenomena,  \end{rawhtml}
10  other processes, such as open-boundaries, are external to the  
11  simulation.  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.

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