---------
* script now handle SLURM-only case (in addition to PBS)
* expanded time-tag of eta files to include minutes of day from hh to hhmn
* when setting non-M2 runs: observations now taken from live disk (LOCAL_ARCHIVE); no going to archive
* nc4 AGCM_IMPORT_RST now (careful w/ regrid utility: it should not be remapping when interpolating)
* Default ens RSTs are now nc4 - if only have bin, rename them to nc4 extension in initial cycle 
* GPS addition: br_meta_MetOpC_gps
* Turn aircraft online bias correction on by defatul. 
  OPS will need to adjust the following files (according to tag):
    - main central DAS job script
    - atm_ens.j
    - AtmEnsConfig.csh
* add O3 sensitive IR channels to analysis (Rcov updated accordingly)
  Note: ensemble observer intentionally does not use these o3-sens IR channels
* considerable reduction in count of some AMV due to changes in thinning (might need revision)
* add Meta''s converters taking nc4 gsi-diag to ods

* GSI merge w/ NCEP, tag: jg-gsi-rt-GEOSadas-5_26_TEMP1_p1
* back to using 2-Loops for FSOI (adjoint GSI);
  remember to remove USRMITER env flag from OPS script
* enable MHS all-sky; base tag: "mkim-gsi-rt-GEOSadas-5_26_TEMP1_allskyMHSadded"
                      also tag: "meta_MetOpC_AMSUA_MHS"

Tag: Jason-2_0, non-zero diff to Jason-1_1
------------------------------------------
1) This is a MAJOR update to include updated moist processes based on the tag: merge_JDB7p1_retuned
   It uses RRTMG for BOTH Shortwave and Longwave radiation.
   It uses the GF Convection Scheme, as well as the UW Shallow Cumulus scheme.
   It uses dynamics tunings based on the DYAMOND experiments.
2) Option included for running Stochastic Physics.
3) 2nd-Moment Cloud MicroPhysics updated to tag: b_Jason_2_0_donifan

Restart Changes: solar_internal_rst (for RRTMG).  Simply Bootstrap.

Tag: Jason-1_1, non-zero diff to Jason-1_0_BETA
-----------------------------------------------
1) An error was found related to GOCART and TR regarding the TR and GOCART IMPORT restarts.
This error was introduced going from Icarus-1_0_p1 to Icarus-2_0 with the splitting of GOCART into
RUN1 and RUN2 methods.  Essentially, the ordering in PHYSICS is:  SURF,CHEM,TURB RUN1, followd by
SURF,TURB,CHEM RUN2.  Emissions are computed in CHEM RUN1 based on LWI locations.  However, LWI
is not computed until SURF RUN2.  Therefore, LWI is required on the GOCART IMPORT.  But this variable
was labeled as RESTART_SKIP.  The TR IMPORT did contain LWI, thus when TR was Enabled, GOCART saw
the proper LWI.  But when TR was Disabled, LWI was no longer available for GOCART, and resulted in 
non-zero differences.  The quick solution was to label LWI as non-skip on the GOCART IMPORT restart.

2) An error was found related to the TH_for_CHEM within the SYNC-TQ sequence.  The error was fixed, but
experiments showed negligible impact due to its second-order influence.

3) Modifications to the STATS plotting package to include Mean-Square-Error decompostion.

Restart Changes: YES (but bootstrappable)
                 GOCART IMPORT was modified by adding LWI and FRACI to be non-skip
                 TR     IMPORT was modified by removing ALL but CLDTT (from RAD), since TR is run after SURF RUN(1,2)
                 Note:  When TR adopts a 2-phase approach, additional IMPORT variables from SURF will need to be included.

M.Sienkiewicz
-------------
* extract_pre-qc.pl: New script to grab templates for files needed for the prepqc step from the
     obsys.rc file based on the OBSCLASS entries matching 'pre-qc'
* GEOSdas.csm: modified to use extract_pre-qc.pl script to get file names needed for running the
     prepQC

Restart Changes: Saltwater_internal ==> openwater_internal & seaicethermo_internal

Details:

24Sep2018
=========
R.Todling (EnADAS-5_22_0)
-------------------------
* partial merge with NCEP All-Sky implementation 5_21_3_p1 and
  VLab-ProdGSI-master-2018062220Z1707-60d4448
* increased paoverbpb for EnKF from 0.975 to 0.990 - this gets descent amount of radiance in both C90 and
  C180 configurations

R.Todling (EnADAS-5_21_5)
-------------------------
* Update to bma_ADAS_MAPLRefactor_5_21_2 which include latest changes in MAPL (including adding pFIO) -
  this version does not reproduce its predecessor but results are almost roundoff. Furthermore, at
  present tag steps back from reading the ensemble members in parallel in GSI due to a bug in pFIO still
  to be uncovered.

=========
L.Takacs (Jason-1_0_BETA, non-zero diff to Icarus-3_4_ESMF7)
------------------------------------------------------------
1) Saltwater split => openwater and seaicethermo. 
   This means saltwater_internal is now two files: openwater_internal and seaicethermo_internal. saltwater_import remains.
   Regridding utility (regrid.pl) will always produce the split ocean with this tag.  You can, however, provide the single
   saltwater_internal as input.
2) Sponge Layer fix in FV3 to include damping between top model layer and bottom of sponge.
3) Regridding in MAPL now done in a new abstract/OO paradigm
   This leads to the new grid definitions in AGCM.rc
4) New HISTORY.rc grid_label definitions.  This HISTORY is designated as VERSION: 1
   Older HISTORY files (using resolution attribute) will still work provided VERSION = 0.
5) QUICKPLOT updates to produce automated "closeness" plots.

GSI:     from EnADAS-5_13_7
Summary:  
Restart Changes: satbias and satbang will have GMI entries automatically
replaced with new index-nomenclature as GSI runs first cycle; but no need to 
change existing RSTs.

Details: Updates to GCM re-tuning PBL and various drags (for improved fcst
skill); update to GSI to include revised thinning of high-spectral IR
instruments - as in EnADAS-5_13_5- as well as bring in merge with latest NCEP
changes up to end of November 2014.

L.Takacs
--------
GCM Tag: Ganymed-4_1 (non-zero diffs from Ganymed-4_0_p1)
---------------------------------------------------------
1) Modified default values for drag parameterizations:
      TURBULENCE_C_B: 1.02e-7
      EFFGWORO: 0.25
      SCALE4Z0: 2.
2) Correction within REGULAR REPLAY now cycles OCEAN and ATMOSPHERE within PREDICTOR step. Previous versions only cycled ATMOSPHERE.

Restart Changes: none

GCM Tag: Ganymed-4_0_p1 (non-zero diffs from Ganymed-4_0)
---------------------------------------------------------
1) Implement New Spectral Laplacian Solver for WINDFIX when running DAS or REPLAY.
2) Implement proper vector horztransform for cube within MKIAU.
   Ganymed-4_0 used a kludge which treated winds as tracers, and then did a pole fix.
3) Implemented optional Conservative HorzTransform for REPLAY
4) Implemented optional BKGAVE for REPLAY
5) Added VECTOR_TYPE to Wind Tendency Exports (for HISTORY)
6) Updated GEOS_Util/plots
7) Updates to gcm_setup and corresponding gcm_[scripts]:
              gcm_archive.j
              gcm_convert.j
              gcm_forecast.tmpl
              gcm_post.j
              gcm_regress.j
              gcm_run.j
              gcm_setup

Restart Changes: none


R. Todling
----------
1) Running forecasts from fcst directory no longer requires user to drop
restarts in this directory. Instead, this now mimics the way standalone 
analysis run, that is, all that users need to do is, in this case, touch files
named forecast.yyyymmdd_hhz in the fcst directory. As the g5fcst.j job begins,
another batch job will be lauchned from within to acquire the restarts in the 
location specified in the files rst4fcst.acq living under the fcst directory.
BTW: the only mechanism of dropping files in fcst dir is still available.

2) GSI has been updated and is now merged with changes from NCEP as of their
last trunk update in November 2014 (r47948). Specifically, local changes
include:
  2a) revamped background bias correction mechanism (GMAO)
  2b) clean up version of GMI/TMI (GMAO)
  2c) cosmetic loop-level optimization (NCEP)
  2d) Revisted dot-product (an attempt to reproducibility across PEs; NCEP)
  2e) near-generalization to hybrid component to allow more flexible
     specification of ensemble covariance (GMAO)

--------
GCM Tag: Ganymed-4_0 (zero diffs from Ganymed-4_0_BETA12, except when using RRTMB and/or ExtData)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) General edits to g5_modules, Config/, and Applications/GEOSgcm_App to allow running on GMAO desktops
2) Added cloning capability to gcm_setup to allow one to clone a previous G40, or later, experiment
3) Added RRTMG (GPU enabled) code for shortwave radiation and updated to RRTMGPU code for longwave
   (enabled via AGCM.rc flag)
4) Changes to Mie table handling to improve performance (zero-diff)
5) Compile diaglist.o in Chem_Shared at -O0 to improve compilation time (zero-diff)
6) Merge changes from pchakrab-docfix for documentation.
7) Keep preprocessed *___.f90 files from .P90 processing for debugging. Also
   change .P90 preprocessing for Mac OS X
8) Edits to MAPL_LoadBalance.F90:
   a) Require communicator to be passed into BalanceCreate
   b) Standardize naming for Handles
9) Edits to FVdycoreCubed Make system for PGI and TAU
10) General edits to Physics to enable CUDA 5 and cleanup of CUDA code
11) Edits to Raster Make system for PGI
12) Remove some references to older machines and compilers in g5_modules and Config/ESMA_arch.mk
13) Edits to scm_setup to allow SCM execution on desktops and at NAS.
14) You can now ask for Fields from Bundles in HISTORY.rc, as in: Bundle%Field. History will get the
    appropriate field from the bundle specified.
15) Changes to ExtData:
    a) ExtData.rc has changed: new fields (conservative regridding)
    b) Behavior when specifying non-zero time template has changed (non-zero-diff from previous ExtData)
    c) New capabilities and bug fixes
16) New options for MAPL_CFIORead (conservative, voting, ignoreCase)
17) Option for SYNCTQ (Default: 0, OFF)
18) Updated GMIchem and StratChem to Tag: Ganymed-4_0_BETA11_JEN
19) Updates to regrid.pl and its underlying source codes:
    a) When going cube to cube, regrid.pl now allows you to go from course to fine resolution.
    b) When going cube to cube, pchem_internal, gocart_internal, and pchem_internal are now handled with
       interp_restarts.x instead of c2c.x
    c) If the final resolution is cubed, regrid.pl prompts asks for what number of vertical levels you
       are going to (72 or 137) and invokes interp_restarts.x properly to go to the requested number of
       levels on output.  The fvcore_internal and moist_internal are zero diff, but the others will not
       since they are now done with a different utility which utilizes the vertical remapping algorithm.

Summary: 
Restart Changes: none

Details:

R.Todling/W.McCarty
-------------------
* new version of restarts: merra2-scout.satbang_rst.txt and merra2-scout.satbias_rst.txt

W.McCarty
---------
* slight updates to get AMSU-B data into the system properly
  - gmao_global_satinfo.rc
  - qcmod.f90
  - active_channels.tbl
* active_channels.tbl: adjusted start/end date for airs 321, fixed N11 SSU typo
* iuseClass-4_channels.tbl: update ch 3 for the SSU to be consistent with the active_channels.tbl

J.Guo/K.Wargen
--------------
* Non-zero diffs in GSI/ozinfo.db directory
 - active.tbl: deactivated 3 days of sbuv8/n11 in period 03/31-04/02, 1992
 - available.tbl: Overrode available.tbl with active.tbl (1.15), to avoid unwanted "passive" observations.

* zero-diff changes in GMAO_ods
  - ods_dcget.f: Corrected missing KX values for gome_metop-a and gome_metop-b.
  - GMAO_ods/ods_dcget.f: A new file for KX values of supported ozone obs.

J.Guo
-----
* read_ozone.f90: Fixed a mistake of counting omieff/tomseff input data twice.  The error caused no
  difference in analysis results, but minor incorrect log messages.

A.Darmenov
----------
* Update volcanic files from volcanic_v2 to volcanic_v4

A.daSilva
---------
* minor changes to fix important mislabeling of aerosol KX
  - GMAO_Shared/GMAO_ods/pyods_.F90
  - GMAO_Shared/GMAO_ods/kx_list.rc
* Changes related to using AERONET in MERRA-2
  - ana.rc.tmpl
  - obs.rc
  - psas.rc

M.Sienkiewicz
-------------
* gmao_global_blacklist.txt: added t,q,ps,uv for weather ships 99012 and 99018 per Steve Bloom assessment
* Modify programs to make it easier for people doing post-analysis to separate values written after the
  Haimberger correction and values written after the RADCOR correction
  - hradcor.f
  - raobcore.f
  - m_RadBufr.f
* gblevents_gmao.f: old version was missing one QOB 'sanity check' by not recognizing missing TOB (though
  obs in question still flagged).  May be result of new BUFRLIB + old code.  (Old BUFRLIB + old code logs
  matched new logs)
* prevents.f: Merged changes from NCEP for WCOSS version.  In testing, discovered old version was missing
  one QOB 'sanity check' by not recognizing missing TOB (though obs in question still flagged).  May be
  result of new BUFRLIB + old code.  (Old BUFRLIB + old code logs matched new logs)
* prepacqc.f: increased size of ITRKL array from 500 to 1000

Stassi
------
* updates to include AERONET data in GAAS processing

L.Takacs
--------
GCM Tag: Ganymed-4_0_BETA7 (non-zero diffs from Ganymed-4_0_BETA6)
------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Updates to GOCART to allow Stratospheric Aerosol sedimentation.
2) Updates with Raster/src for SMAP related code.  Zero-Diff for Ganymed-4_0
3) Updates to StratChem Code
4) Minor modification to CONSTRAIN_DAS=1 for pressure increment scaling

GCM Tag: Ganymed-4_0_BETA8 (non-zero diffs from Ganymed-4_0_BETA7)
------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Another Minor modification to CONSTRAIN_DAS=1 for pressure increment scaling.  This change properly
   scales DELP Increments to provide optimum adjustments in a least-squares sense.
2) Changed value of MAPL_GRAV from 9.8 to WMO's "exact" value of 9.80665
3) Changed value of MAPL_EARTH_RADIUS from 6376.0E3 to 6371.0E3
4) Modified SOLAR and IRRAD to use MAPL_GRAV rather than 9.81
5) Updates to plots and post to use MAPL_Constants
6) Updates to MAPL:
   a) ability to use IO server - defaults to not use it
   b) changing TM in History to do a "smart" default: unlimited time dimension for nc4 files except for
      Single Column
   c) Several changes to MAPL_AreaMean :
      i) minor tweek on original version, producing better efficiency but still guaranteed to be
         bit-reproducible
     ii) a new faster version where all PEs compute their local partial sum, a the final result is
         computed by MPI_AllReduce. This is now the default.  Due to strategic real*4 and real*8
         declarations, this is still zero diff to original version.
   d) Minor change in MAPL_IO to have consistent untis for CFIO and memory units
7) A fix for C2C regridding (we were missing A2D for the winds in interp_restarts, resulting in a small
   shift for winds in fvdycore_internal restart)

GCM Tag: Ganymed-4_0_BETA9 (non-zero diffs from Ganymed-4_0_BETA8)
------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Proper horizontal transform for d-grid winds for cube-to-cube (the winds components must be specified
   with a semicolon (;) separator in the collection.  Otherwise, this has no effect. This is relevant to
   the output of trajectories for the tangent-linear model.
2) Fixed a memory leak in MAPL_LocStreamTransform (in XformCreate)
3) Overwrote the lats and lons with indices if the output is on cubed-sphere
4) "fixed" improper handling of U_CGRID and V_CGRID in the FV3 (now the code does not die, and the these
    are 0)
5) Fixed a bug in HorzTransform (not exercised in the current model) 
6) Implemented GraDs utility (dc.gs) to display cubed-sphere data directly
7) From Arlindo, updates to Optical Tables.                               
8) Modified WindFix and MKIAU to use MAPL rather than G3 Utilities for Gather/Scatter (zero-diff).
9) Update to SatSim tag: b_afe_G-4_0_B6_ss_20140225
10) Added diagnostics to PHYSICS and MOIST

Updated EnADAS-5_11_0_p3 to Intel-13 following work from Matt and Purnendu.
Everything has been updated accordingly, except gcm_setup since it requires
Larry T. to have a look at it. 

- Needs gcm_setup merge with tag: mat-Intel13-forDAS5100 to be fully compliant
  with Intel 13.
- Also, related to the above, it seems there are some env variables the
  gcm_setup introduces under Intel 13, but conversation with Matt tells none
  of them to be relevant when using mvapich2, which is used in the present tag

Results are round-off different from control tag EnADAS-5_11_0_p3.

Summary: See GEOSadas-5_11_0
Restart Changes: none

This is the ESMF-5 update to the 5_11 system. The closest setting to OPS
5_11_0_p2 are such that:
  - parameter DPEDT_PHYS is set to NO in AGCM.rc.tmpl
  - and ljcpdry is set to FALSE in gsi.rc.tmpl
these should reproduce OPS, except for the fact that we have already added the
aircraft bias correction capability in GSI which introduces roundoff to the
results.

However, the default in this tag is to use both 
DPEDT_PHYS: YES 
and
ljcpdry=.true.
That is, default now applies dry-ps constraint in analysis and has GCM making
internal correction to ps due to water changes by physics.

This is a patch to fix the issue with mkiau.x not being passed the proper
background file to calculate the analysis (IAU) increment in the presence of
the vortex relocator.

The following two files have been changed to account for the fix:

GEOSdas.csh - logics put in the porperly pass bkg and ana file names to mkiau.rc.tmpl
mkiau.rc.tmpl - wired-in bkg/ana grads-like filename templates replaced with general script templates
                for bkg and ana files to be filled in by script

NOTE: There was also a GEOSadas-5_11_0_UNSTABLE tag created, unrelated to this tag. This occurred during
a brief period when one person took over code integration while the other was on leave, hence the
duplicate tag names. The UNSTABLE tag was later labeled as "rejected".

Shared: 
 Update gfio and CFIO utils to correctly hanble times-stamp in CO/CO2 files.
Analysis:
  Update active and available table of SIDB to include m10-seviri (add CrIS,
  but not to be added to obsclass yet)
General:
  - Swap ps and ozone fields in HISTORY output of GCM to avoid grads getting
    confused when reading a timeseries of bkg.eta files some directly from GCM
    and some from after application of relocator (dyn-vect-like).
  - Fix for reproducibility of FCST and running with AOD (aod4fcst.acq) now
    controls fixes that need to be acquired for off-line forecasts to
    reproduce DAS initial 12-hours (not applicable to how OPS runs fcsts).
  - From this tag on: main DAS and FCST job scripts must have lines
      set GCMX = `which GEOSgcm.x`
      set GCMPTX = `which GEOSgcmPert.x`
  - Force num_writes to be 1 for now (AGCM.rc parameter)

9) Merged with Yuri (starting from yuri-datasea-Fortuna-2_5_p5) for Coupled Ocean:

  Note: GEOS_DataSeaIceGridComp.F90 and GEOS_LakeGridComp.F90 have #if statements to force zero-diffs
        with previous Ganymed tag.
        These should be removed for final Ganymed tag.

10) Updated to Matt's GPU code for GWD.
11) Updates to Matt's New GETTAU routines, etc.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    a) Introduce new routines to GEOS_RadiationShared: getvistau, getnirtau, and
       getirtau. These replace the various cloud optical depth codes in Solar, Irrad, 
       and Satsim Gridded Components. (NON-ZERO DIFF)
    b) Consolidate all constants relevant to the cloud optical depth codes into a
       new file, radconstants.F90, in GEOS_RadiationShared. These constants are then
       removed from irradconstants.F90 and soradconstants.F90 and the corresponding
       USE statements in the Irrad and Solar Gridded Components are similarly
       altered. Some constants renamed (_nir, _vis, _ir) to better distinguish
       their application.
    c) Changes to Satsim merged from Fortuna-2_5_p2
    d) Remove the superfluous downward fluxes from the Solar Internal State. 
    e) Integrate RRTMG code into Irrad Gridded Component. Controlled via
       USE_RRTMG_IRRAD flag in AGCM.rc. RRTMG is *not* by default on. Includes
       edits to GNUmakefiles and GMAO_base.mk to integrate RRTMG.
    f) Add more verbose USE, ONLY statements to GEOS_SolarGridComp.F90, sorad.F90,
       GEOS_IrradGridComp.F90, irrad.F90, GEOS_MoistGridComp.F90, and
       cloudnew.F90 for CPU/GPU clarity.
    g) Convert Irrad and Solar Gridded Components to use older-style aerosol table
       lookups passing in to irrad.F90 and sorad.F90 the calculated properties
       rather than the base table parameters themselves.
    h) Move some GPU Constants (i.e., in GPU constant memory space) to parameters 
       in Irrad and Moist Gridded Components. 
    i) In cloudnew.F90, explicitly use MAPL_ constants instead of renamed
       constants
    j) Add new perband surface fluxes to the Solar Gridded Component for use in
       the coupled model. 
    k) Minor updates to gcm_setup for non-discover clusters. Changes to GPU
       compilation options in ESMA_arch.mk.
    l) Add new lightning flash routines to GEOS_MoistGridComp.F90
    m) Use new shared Solar Constant code in GEOS_SolarGridComp.F90

12) Merge in Eric Nielson's Chemistry updates (GMI, StratChem, etc)
13) Fixed bug in clock related to CLOCK associated with Solar Insolation Updates within PCHEM. (non-zero diff)
14) Fixed bug in GOCART related to ZLE and PBL for CO and CO2 biomass burning.  Previous code assumed ZLE was height above ground,
    but in actuality was height above Sea-Level.
15) Changed the DEFAULT values for CO2 and Solar Constant to:  -1.
    This will force the model to use time-dependent values based on CMIP5 data.
16) Modified MAPL and HISTORY to provide near-wave-one values of wind at the poles for cube-to-latlon output.
17) Updated W.Chao's SHVC parameterization within GEOS_TurbulenceGridComp.F90. (Default is OFF)

Todling/Jong/Jing

Identical to GEOSadas-5_7_3_p2 (GEOSdas-fdda-60_as_57_Apr2012_pre573) but brings in full cubed-DAS
capability.

This tag works with the new GEOSadas-5_9 module; it brings in full cubed-DAS capability, including
observation impact. fvsetup is capable of figuring out whether lat-lon or cubed dynamics are used and set
resources accordingly. The cubed-version here is not what modelers think as the latest and greatest, but
it works. This tag also brings in full cubed-4dvar capability.

GEOSagcmPert_GridComp: add TLM/ADM for Cubed-dynamics
Applications/MKIAU_App: make-iau for Cubed-DAS

GPS bending angle is now the default data type; added namelist switches for 50km assimilation and
compressibility.

Stassi
------
1) Updates needed for running on SLES11 OS and new Westmere nodes.
2) The aerosol analysis was modified to write and read in the FVWORK directory rather than directly to
   the intermediate file directories where they could be archived before being used.
3) Further mods were made to crash the DAS job when the aerosol analysis fails rather than depending on
   the analyst to detect the failure from messages in the log file; An option was added to ignore aerosol
   analysis failures and keep processing.

M.Sienkiewicz

Tag:     GEOSadas-5_7_1_p2
Module:  GEOSadas-5_7
Status:  available
GCM:     Fortuna-2_4_p2
Summary: Updated aerosol analysis to run in parallel with GSI either as separate qsub or on excess nodes.

=========
Stassi
------
The aerosol analysis processing was updated in this patch to start prior to the GSI processing. If excess
CPUs exist (NCPUS - NCPUS_GSI > 0), then the aerosol analysis is run as a background job with the mpi
portion using the exess CPUs.  Otherwise, a separate job is qsub'ed to run the aerosol analysis.

Restart Changes: (new) gaas_bkg_sfc_rst
  - The gaas_bkg_sfc_rst is required for aerosol analysis (fvsetup gives option to bootstrap this restart
    if it is not available).

4) Added Clear-Sky RH diagnostic to MOIST.

Known Issues: Under certain conditions (i.e. MPI versions impi-4 ot mvapich2) the asynchronous
              communications could produce unpredictable results due to race conditions caused by the
              freeing the storage for the temporary copies of the MPI call arguments by fortran before
              completion of the asynchronous communication.

14Oct2010
=========
R.Todling
---------
1) update to gmao-gsi_03oct2010_r10176 (early Oct2010 version of GSI)
2) the following observation changes are made:
   o GPS Refractivity from GRACE-A  (kx=722)
   o GPS Refractivity from METOP-GRAS (kx=004)
   o Cloud Drift winds (below 850 mb) from METEOSAT (EUMETSAT) (kx=243)
   o Cloud Drift winds (above 850 mb) from METEOSAT (EUMETSAT) (kx=253)
   o Add ASCAT (kx=290)
   o Tightened gross check for SATWIND (kx=243, and 253)
3) update some of the NCEP_Shared libraries (revisit use of bafrio and bacio.v1.4)
4) add capability to run forecast sensitivity after forecast (as separate job) The following needs to
   take place for this to work:
   o fvsetup must run w/ option to do forecast sensitiviy, so that rc files and job script appear in run
     and fcst directories)
   o define an env variable named STAGE4FSENS in the forecast job script determining the location to
     stage trajectory files, e.g., setenv STAGE4FSENS $FVHOME/save4later
     ----> IMPORTANT: this dir needs to have a touched file .no_archiving
           so that its contents don't end up disappearing before needed.
     Notice that GEOSdas.csm will append s4fsens plus a date and time to the name of this directory,
     e.g., $FVHOME/save4later/s4fsens.20090101.000000 Note: time above refers to when adjoint run starts
     (not when it ends).
   o an arc file named stage4fsens.arc must be placed (by user) in run dir; an example of the contents of
     this arc file is:
     ${PESTOROOT}%/%s.traj.lcv.%y4%m2%d2_%h2%n2z.nc4
     ${PESTOROOT}%/%s.ptrj.prs.%y4%m2%d2_%h2%n2z.nc4
     ${PESTOROOT}%/%s.prog.eta.%y4%m2%d2_%h2z.nc4
     where PESTOROOT will be internally defined by GEOSdas.csm after user
     variable STAGE4FSENS. 
   o add files:
       fsenstorage.arc
       asenstorage.arc 
     to control archiving of output from forecast and analysis sensitivity runs.
   o to control fcst senstivities produced frm say the 21Z forecast differently that those produced from
     15Z forecast, user should have different fvsens.ccmrun.namelist.tmpl files in the run dir, such as,
     fvsens.ccmrun.namelist_21.tmpl and fvsens.ccmrun.namelist_15.tmpl
5) update GCM to Fortuna-2_2_p1

Stassi
------
GCM tag, Fortuna-2_2, merged into DAS tag, GEOSadas-5_6_1_p4

NOTE: The GCM reverts back to using the Monin-Obukhov surface-layer scheme everywhere (versus using the
      Louis scheme over land and M-O everywhere else)

L.Takacs
--------
* GCM tag: Fortuna-2_2, module: Fortuna (non-zero diff to Fortuna-2_1_p3)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1) Changed default behavior of HISTORY attribute: duration.  The NEW default is: duration = frequency
    This means that the default behavior will produce 1 time-record per file.  This creates a more robust
    environment (using gcm_setup) for the post-processing to correctly compute monthly means.  Choosing
    durations other than the output frequency can create problems for the monthly mean scripts.
 2) Corrected bug in using the topo_TRB_var dateset (related to Turbulence VARFLT).  The model had
    compensating errors which reduced the impact of using the variance**2 (rather than the variance).
    Also, added 5 m/sec maximum wind speed for VARFLT calculation to limit instabilities.
 3) Updates to PCHEM to use Yearly Varying AeroChem Species datafile.  In addition, default RC parameters
    where modified to use a 3-day relaxation time (rather than instantaneous) and to make the species
    Friendly to Dynamics, Turbulence, and Moist Processes.
 4) CATCH: Removed viscous sub-layer over LAND.
 5) Update SOLAR code to new CUDA implementation.
 6) Update to FVdycore_GridComp to allow global rescaling of Tracers when running Intermittent Replay
 7) Go back to using Intel MPI (Zero diff vs MVAPICH2, but much faster).
 8) Updates to post, plots, and gcm_setup
 9) Updates to MAPL, cfio, gfio, part of which is to allow 2-D coordinate variables.
10) Updates to SatSim
11) Updates to GEOS_GcmGridComp.F90, GEOS_OgcmGridComp.F90, and GEOS_SurfaceGridComp.F90 to enable CICE
    inclusion.
12) Updates to PCHEM, GOCART, and GMIchem:
    Added CH4_GridComp to GOCART, enabling tagged methane with flux boundary conditions.  Above GOCART,
    accounting for CH4 was introduced into the Chem_Base Registry, and added to
    Applications/GEOSgcm_App/GNUmakefile.  AREA is an import to CH4_GridComp, which required the
    following two mods:
    1. GEOS_SuperdynGridComp.F90: Add AREA to exports promoted from DYN
    2. GEOS_AgcmGridComp.F90: Add AREA connectivity from SDYN to PHYS
    In StratChem and GMIChem, QCTOT is now imported so the chemistry sees total water.  Connectivity
    added in Physics.  GMI codes not used in GEOS-5 (met fields, communications, netcdf) no longer part
    of checkout.
13) Implement extracted sulfate chemistry module in GOCART SU component (including volcanic emisions) See
    also GMAO_Shared/Chem_Shared/SulfateChemDriverMod.F90
14) Implement blending method of intermittent replay
15) Export u10n and v10n in GEOS_PhysicsGridCompMod.F90
16) Fixed Bug in Determination of PBL TOP for use in turbulent length-scale calculation (non-zero DIFF)
17) Changed Default value of Tokioka Parameter for 1/4-deg resolution or finer (700 to 450).

This change was motivated by problems in NCEP background temperature over the Andies at about 0.5 mb and
by the fact that 5mb is considered the highest level for reliable radiosonde information.

Restart Changes: none

Details:

24Jun2010
=========
L.Takacs
--------
GCM Tag: Fortuna-2_1_p2
-----------------------
1) Fixed possible divide-by-zero diagnostics in MOIST_GridComp and CLOUDNEW.
2) Updates within MAPL_BASE.
3) Updates to plots and post.
4) Updates to Single-Column-Model.

18May2010
=========
L.Takacs
--------
GCM Tag: Fortuna-2_1_p1
-----------------------
1) Fixed initialization of IMPORTs when defaults are specified.  In particular, GOCART's initialization
   (in Fortuna-2_1) with MAPL_UNDEF defaults created errors for FRLAKE, causing LWI to have no land
   points for GOCART.
2) The time_ave.F program was updated with a optional input parameters: begdate, begtime, enddate,
   endtime to further control the time-averaging period within a file.
3) Updates to gcm_setup and quickplot utilities.
4) Updates to MOIST diagnostics.
5) Modified MAPL grid calculation (real*8) to create DLAT/DLON consistency in output files.
6) Updates to GMIchem_GridComp
7) Fixed bug in the grads control file when writing flat-binary output (eg., for SCM).  This bug was
   introduced in Fortuna-2_1.
8) Fixed bug PRINTSPEC (introduced in Fortuna-2_1).
9) Updates to Single Column Model.

30Apr2010
=========
L.Takacs
--------
GCM Tag: Fortuna-2_1
--------------------
 1) Fix updating of Analysis Increment of Ozone.  Previous versions (including MERRA) incorrectly assumed
    Analysis Increment was in mass-mixing-ratio.  However, the Analysis provides increments of Ozone in
    volume-mixing-ratio.  (Non-Zero Diff within DAS)
 2) Fix Intermittent REPLAY of Ozone in FVDYCORE (same problem as above).  (Non-Zero Diff within
    Intermittent REPLAY)
 3) Fix bug in PCHEM for Ozone updates across year boundary.  (Non-Zero Diff when crossing year boundary)
 4) Modified FVDycore to produce consistent Energy Budget Diagnostics.  In previous versions, some energy
    budget diagnostics would be incorrectly calculated if the complete collection of energy terms was not
    turned on in the HISTORY.rc. The updated code prevents this from happening.  You must either ask for
    the complete set of energy diagnostics, or turn off selected terms.  The running code informs you of
    your options.  (Zero Diff)
 5) Fix driver for hinterp.F utility to eliminate round-off errors when interpolating two quantities of
    the same resolution.
 6) Updates to gcm_setup for running model simulations.  Current version now uses AGCM.rc and CAP.rc from
    the Applications directory.
 7) Experiment run directory now used resource files with .rc extenstion.
 8) Updates to plots and post.
 9) Migration to ESMF version 4_0_0rp1 (Zero Diffs). This has fairly minimal impact on the syntax of the
    gridded components.  One notable ESMF change that affects parent components with multi-phase run
    method of their children, is the PHASE numbering now star ts at 1
10) MAPL now uses 2-d ESMF grids for efficiency reasons, improving the performance of
    ESMF_StateReconcile, ESMF_RedistStore and ESMF_Red ist (Zero Diffs)
11) Fixed bug to improve termination upon errors (Zero Diffs)
12) Add option to use mid-layer exports for HISTORY Output vertical interpolation (eg., TH surfaces).
13) Incorporated new versions of Aerosol Optic Bands from Arlindo (non-zero diffs).
14) Created Fortuna-2_1 boundary datasets which include an updated topography over Greenland, and new
    lai_green, nirdf, and visdf datase ts.  New Shared and clsm directories for creating new tile files
    and regridding restarts.
15) Migration to new module environment.
       On Discover:   1) comp/intel-11.0.083
                      2) other/mpi/mvapich2-1.4.1/intel-11.0.083
       Note later changed to:
                      1) comp/intel-11.0.083
                      2) mpi/impi-3.2.2.006
                      3) lib/mkl-10.0.3.020
16) Implement new Gravity Wave Drag Parameterization.  This scheme is capable of producing a QBO.

30Oct2009
=========
L.Takacs
--------
GCM Tag: Fortuna_2_0
--------------------
1) Includes options to run one of 4 Dynamical Cores:
       1) FV (lat-lon)
       2) FV (cubed sphere)
       3) ARIES (lat-lon)
       4) DATMO (data model for single column physics)
2) Fix to produce consistency between MAPL_CFIO and MAPL_CAP grids (for HDF meta-data).

3) Changes in Physics:
   a) Moist - Prog Cloud : Increase rain re-evap, change behavior of autoconversion and radiative forcing
   b) Moist - RAS: Stochastic Tokioka trigger, controlling parameter set as function of horizontal
      resolution
   c) Turb: Incorporate response to wind shear in Lock/Louis mix, new Louis turb length scale
   d) Surface - Change default to Monin-Obukhov surface layer
   e) Catch - Minor changes is default data statement values.
4) Changes in CHEM:
   Connect GOCART BC, DU, OC, SS, and SU to GMICHEM, and GMICHEM oxidants 
5) Changes in CHEM:
   NO3, OH, and H2O2 to SU in GOCART. Specification of ANALYSIS_OX_PROVIDER in AGCM.tmpl to satisfy
   ASSERT(NumFriendly == 2) in AgcmGridComp. Target RATs connectivities in PhysicsGridComp to
   RATS_PROVIDER.  Create only those chemistry children that are requested by the Chem_Registry.rc.
   STRATCHEM updated to JPL2006.
6) REPLAY Changes:
   * Regular Replay now requires A-GRID input files (A-Grid versions of ANA.ETA and BKG.ETA).
   * Intermittent Replay may use A-GRID or D-GRID  files.
   A conversion utility has been created (convert_eta.x) which will convert MERRA-Style ANA.ETA and
   BKG.ETA files to an A-Grid structure.
7) AGCM.rc Changes.  You must use the AGCM.rc.tmpl that comes with the tag!
8) Boundary Condition Changes.  Fortuna-2_0 is meant to be used with new Land Surface Tile Files.  A
   mk_Restarts utility is provided to convert old Land Surface files to the newer versions.
9) Modifications to the gcm_setup script.

Restart Changes: none

Details:

27May2009
=========
Todling
-------
Major merge of FDDA development with main path of development GEOSadas-5_3_0 This is aimed at creating
GEOSadas-5_4_0 - update was done over a so-called UNSTABLE tag.

WARNING: a safe bet is not to use scripts and executables from this version in conjunction with files
         from previous versions.

During merge GEOSadas tag was pushed twice:
 - starting point of merge: rt-adas-5_3_0
 - retag due to tag pushing: rt-adas-5_3_0p1
 - starting point of FDDA code: GEOSdas-fdda-beta2p1
 - merged w/ rt-adas-5_3_0p2 (same as GEOSadas-5_3_0_p2 on 05Apr2009)

What's in this new tag?

 - GCM Fortuna-1_4
 - GMAO_Shared: merged
    o many changes to ODS to accommodate new GSI and new observing systems
    o many changes to HERMES to accommodate changes in bkg and g5pert utils
 - Update JCSDA CRTM to Rel-1.2 (tag: CRTM_REL-1_2_JCSDA)
 - Update GSI GSIsa_m3-pert-Apr09r1-p2
 - add g5pert
 - add 4dvar capability
 - add DAS adjoint capability
 - major upgrade of the observing system including ods utilities and kx definitions
 - revisited saverst capability based on discussions with OPS (T. Owens) need
 - following T. Owens implementation, add capability to launch N-day forecast as continuation of
   assimilation run (straight forecast)
 - GCM ALWAYS provides GSI with bkg at desirable resolution NOTE: this is relevant for d-resolution,
   where now GCM gives GSI a 544x361 bkg rather than a 540x361 bkg
 - makeiau upd (handles either A- or D-grid winds; most importantly does remap automatically when phis
   differs between bkg and ana)
 - update GCM to rt-Fortuna-1_4-04Apr2009
   o update correspond to Fortuna-1_4_UNSTABLE on that day
   o update GEOS_Util/plots to same tag
   o update run scripts, Changelog, and GEOSgcm.F90 in GEOSgcm to same tag (GNUmakefile needs meaningful
     merge)
 - Re-defined d and e resolutions to be 576x361 and 1152x721, respectively.
 - Update background error statistics for GSI to be gmao31Mar2009_fp+oz
 - Update for monthly mean script (Joe's initial sync with OPS ways)
 - Update PaQC block-unblock to meta_cwordsh09_block (scripts left alone for now)

CAUTION:
-------
New env variables:

  BKG_PREPQC
  DO4DTLM      - enable TLM run within 4d-analysis setting
  DO4DVAR      - enable when running 4dvar
  DOIAU        - enable when running 3dvar in IAU mode
  NCSUFFIX     - determines NC filename extension (hdf or nc4)
  NVAROUTER    - counter for analysis loop (1 in 3dvar; set by g54dvar in 4dvar)
  VAROFFSET    - offset hours from first synoptic hour of trajectory model integration
  STAGE4FCST   - directory name where rst placed for future forecasts (e.g., expid/fcst)

Removed env variables:

  IAUOSET 
  FVCQC
  SAVE4ASENS
  SYNCHECK

* GEOSagcm_GridComp/GEOSsuperdyn_GridComp/FVdycore_GridComp/te_map.F90

1) Implement new diagnostic calculations for OMEGA, KEGEN, and CONVCPT.
2) Implement reasonable V_DGRID pole values based on V_AGRID.  The pole values of V_DGRID are
   not predicted within the FVCore, thus these are purely diagnostic.  However, they are
   now reproducible across processor configurations and can now be used by utilities outside
   the model.
3) Protect EKM and EKH from going negative in LockEntrain.F90 within the Turbulence.
Restart Changes: none  (zero-diff vs GEOSagcm-Eros_7_20)

R.Lucchesi
----------
* reblock.c: Changed BUFSIZE from 12000 to 50000

M.Sienkiewicz
-------------
* GEOSdas.csm: Modified to add a 'uniq' filter so only one copy of
     each file is included in input list for 'combfr.x'.  This
     prevents duplication of files via inadvertent duplication of
     class names in the OBSCLASS.

** pushing tag with GCM updates from L.Takacs **
------------------------------------------------
New GCM tag (02Jul2007): GEOSagcm-Eros-beta7p11
-----------------------------------------------
1) The reproducibility error (wrt Processor configuration) in FV is 
   fixed.  The error was due to an incomplete ghosting after a polar FFT
   update.
2) CFIO can now output flat GRADS files using the HISTORY.rc attribute
   list%format: "GRADS"
3) Several MERRA diagnostics have been corrected.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Note to OPS
~~~~~~~~~~~
The vortex relocator program does not work in this tag. The GCM made a
change to write lat/lon values to the bkg.sfc file as double
precision, but the gfio library routine used by recalcsfc.f can only
read single precision lon values. This problem is fixed in tag,
gAdas-1_5beta10p15.

CVS Module: GEOSdas (GEOSdas_m1)

26Jun2007, Stassi
-----------------
* Started with tag, gAdas-1_5beta10p9, as baseline

New from C.Redder
-----------------
* revived directory: src/Applications/NCEP_Paqc/radcor/
  - new radcor library and program files.

 M.Sienkiewicz
 -------------
 * cqcbufr.f - add switch to disable RADCOR
 * prepobs_cqcbufr.merra.parm, prepobs_radcor.merra.parm (removed)
 * ssprepqc
   - add 'cqcvad' program
   - limit OIQC mpirun to 4 CPUs unless 'np' was specified
   - add options to run Chris Redder's Haimberger and raobcor (radcor
     for homogenized obs) programs.  'cqcbufr' and 'radcor' parm files
     now dynamically generated
 * CQCVAD - quality control checks for Doppler VAD winds
   in new directory: src/Applications/NCEP_Paqc/prepobs_cqcvad.fd/
   - prepobs_cqcvad.fd/GNUmakefile
   - prepobs_cqcvad.fd/cqcvad.f

* filter out Indian Rawinsonde observations (M.Sienkiewicz)
  ---------------------------------------------------------
  Updated 'ssprepqc.x' to add blacklisting of Indian rawinsonde
  mass observations.  (Blacklisting controlled by switch PG4243
  in parm file, blacklisting turned on by default.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notes to OPS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To run radcor:
1. Set the PREPQC variable in the job script to 1 (one).
2. Set the RADCOR variable in job script to one of the following values:
  setenv RADCOR "NONE" ........ neither NCEP nor Haimberger-hradcor
  setenv RADCOR "NCEP" ........ standard NCEP (correct type 52, CORUSVAI=F)
  setenv RADCOR "NCEP_VAI" .... NCEP radcor but do not correct type 52 CORUSVAI=T
  setenv RADCOR "HAIMB_HRAD" .. Apply both Haimberger homogenization and 'hradcor'
  setenv RADCOR "HAIMB" ....... No NCEP RADCOR, apply Haimberger homogenization
                                but do not apply 'hradcor' correction.
3. If RADCOR is not set in the job script or if it is set to '0', then
   the default case 'NCEP_VAI' is used.  (This is because '0' == false,
   so it behaves like RADCOR was not set.)
4. If RADCOR is set to something else not matching one of the options
   above (does not match VAI, does not match NONE, does not match
   HAIMB - e.g. setenv RADCOR 1) then it will behave like 'setenv
   RADCOR "NCEP"'.

changes given by L.Takacs
-------------------------
New GCM Tag (01Jun2007)/Updated (20Jun2007) : GEOSagcm-Eros-beta7p9
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 1) New FV Polar Filter to remove stratospheric jet pole problem during
    N.Hemisphere Winter.

    Note: Current version does not pass reproducibility test for different
          Processor combinations!!  Differences look like round-off.  Needs
          more investigation.

 2) New calculation of Diagnostic OMEGA which is more energetically
    consistent with d(KE)/dt and d(CpT)/dt calculations.
 3) Put an upper limit (2) on the Richardson Number Ri.
 4) Changed Default REF_TIME to be the BEG_TIME from the CLOCK (rather than 0z).
 5) Zero-Diff changes to fix memory leaks.
 6) Modified Solar, Surface, Catch, Salt, and Physics to fix inconsistency in
    solar fluxes.  Note: Current version may produce small inconsistencies of
    Net_SW_at_Ground between SOLAR and SURFACE.
 7) Changed SNOMAS export from Surface to mm (from meters).
 8) Fixed mass conservation for tracers within RAS.
 9) Updates to MERRA HISTORY.rc file.
10) Updates to GEOS_Util/post
11) Updates to GEOS_Util/plots


A.daSilva
---------
Updates to GOCART routines + Chem_UtilMod.F90

J.Guo
-----
Vortex relocator modified to interact directly with the physical grid
rather than reading spectral and converting to Gaussian before doing
calculations.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Note to OPS
~~~~~~~~~~~
The BEG_DATE in CAP.rc must be set prior to the date/time of the
restarts for the GCM to execute.  This is a change, and fvsetup has
been modified to tick the date back by one day (previously it used the
date/time of the restarts).

30Apr2007, Stassi
-----------------
changes given by L.Takacs
-------------------------
New GCM Tag (27Apr2007): GEOSagcm-Eros-beta7p8
 1) Fixed MAJOR bug in irrad.f introduced in previous tag (GEOSagcm-Eros-beta7p7).
 2) Updates to Arlindo daSilva's latest Aerosol code.
 3) Updates to MOIST for Arlindo daSilva's aerosol scavenging. (Default, no
    scavenging, zero-diffs).
 4) Computed U10N and V10N which better represents 10-meter winds assuming
    neutral stability.
 5) Implemented vertical interpolation to pressure for output files.
 6) Fixed bug in vertical interpolation within FV (for U50M and V50M).
 7) Updates to FV on the HEAD.  The FILL parameter is set to FALSE.  The Polar
    Filter has been switched to use an FFT everywhere (rather than an Algebraic
    version farther away from poles).
 8) Updated to Ricardo Todling's TURBULENCE tag (GEOSpert-gAdrt-b11p1-2spmd)
    for Adjoint diagnostics, with minor (zero-diff) changes for efficiency.
 9) The topography datasets have been modified by multiplicative factors to
    adjust the global mean value to 231.5m (which is the mean of GTOPO30).
    This should remove most of the difference between our dry mass and EC's.
10) Updates to GEOS_Util/plots
11) Updates to MOIST CRF parameters (MAX_RI, MIN_RL) in cloudnew.F90, and
    MOIST_RASPBL algorithm using 30 minutes to 12 hours timescales.

changes by M.Sienkiewicz/J.Stassi
---------------------------------
Updated NCEP_Shared/NCEP_bufr directory to tag GSISA-2006_09p2.

changes by J.Stassi
-------------------
* fvsetup:
  - modified to point to Larry's new bcs directory.
  - added option for HISTORY_MERRA.rc.tmpl file
  - added y/n query for aerosol processing
* m_set_eta.F90
  - revert back to former ak's and bk's from those used in gAdas-1_5beta11
    (Note: this tag reverted back to beta10 because the levels match
    and therefore the tag is consistent with restarts from beta10 tags.)

~~~~~~~~~~~
Note to OPS
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the HISTORY_MERRA.rc.tmpl file, for output streams where the
resolution is defined, the resolution MUST be coarser than the native
resolution, otherwise the model crashes.

Therefore, for 2 x 2.5 grid runs, change
    "288 144" -> "72 45"
    "288 181" -> "72 46"

                        you must set it to 1 for the MERRA runs)
  setenv PREPQC 1

- Need new GCM restart: pchem_internal_rst (for now this is available
  from Eric Nielsen and is simply a month-climatology for the 6 spieces
  in the file.

  b) In Applications, I merged HISTORY.rc w/ the one I had and
     kept CAP.rc as from my previous tag(s)
- merged w/ MAP05-DAS beta3p10 tag (pushed beta5 tag)



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CVS Tag   : gAdas-1_5beta4

------------------
- updated gsi w/ native grid interface (fvgsi-1_0beta3p5)



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CVS Tag: gAdas-1_5beta3p10 (tag for MAP05-DAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
21Oct2005, Todling
------------------
- Updated bfr library in ncepshrd dir. This is a blended merge
  between two version of the bfr lib: one from gAdas-1_5beta3p9
  and another that came w/ the relocator bundle.
- Added env variable DIAG2ODS so OPS can turn off diag2ods and deal w/
  it within the post-processing.
- Added huricane tracking and relocator codes from NCEP; scripting is our own.
- The following files have been added to the output:
   o bkg09.eta (present w/ anynoptic bkg run): this is the original 9-hr forecast
     generated by the gcm; the nomenclature bkg09.eta.20050101_03z means this is
     a 9-hr forecast valid at 03Z on 20050101 (therefore a forecast started 9-hrs
     earlier on 20041231_18z); in case the relocator program actually relocates
     the background, files bkgHH (where HH can be 03 or 06) will also be available
     as the untouched actual origianl gcm background.
   o same as above applies to new files bkg09.sfc
   o files xbkg.sfc and xana.sfc correspoding to the ammended surface background
     and surface analysis files, respectively. The original bkg.sfc issued by the
     GCM does not contain all fields required by the file specs - xbkg.sfc is a
     post-gcm ammended version of the surface background obtained by using information
     from the upper-air bkg fields.
   NOTE: the analysis always works w/ backgrounds named bkg.eta - no matter whether this
         has been relocated or not
- Specific for OPS:
   o should set env VTXSPEC to 254 for MAP05DAS (setenv VTXSPEC 254)
   o env var DIAG2ODS allows turning off diag2ods conversion in fvpsas
   o lnlist can be edited to set up real-time sst's
   o note required changes in silo.arc and fvpsas.rc
   o the resence of the relocator will increase run-time due to extra required fv2ss/ss2fv
     conversion of the backround; notice also that relocator works on a 64-lev bkg which
     consists of a degradation of the gcm bkg in the vertical.
   o file vtrack.rc can be used to define the region of interest for storm tracking



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CVS Tag: gAdas-1_5beta3p9 (tag for MAP05-DAS)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
06Oct2005, Todling
------------------
- backup gsi out of GMAO interface; back to fvgsi-1_0beta2p2; analyzer
  expanded to properly do asynoptic bkg w/ single-time-slot filename,
  perform surface analysis, and call vortex relocator whenever that is
  ready to go.
- gcm updated to Cerebus_p6 (except rc files and mpeu)
- added vortex relocator and scripting
- made a number of modifications to tracker code to try and have it
  work from within DAS; problem now is gettrk.x does not work; scripts
  seem ok - need full test when gettrk.x ix fixed
- added surface analysis in gsi/analyzer

- added source codes for tropical strom tracking; relocation;
  and "bogusing" -> tracking code as per Ops tag: map05bin_OPS
  (and therefore should be a working code); all other codes are
  as from NCEP and have not been tested.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

20Apr2005, Todling, CVS Tag: gAdas-1_5beta2
-------------------------------------------
- Up-to-date w/ fvgsi-1_0beta2=NCEP-Apr-04 release of GSI


18Apr2005, Todling, CVS Tag: gAdas-1_5beta1p3
---------------------------------------------
- Palm-ready version. Some known problems on Palm:
  o absence of getsponsor command creates run-job scripts that
    need to be edited before getting submitted to queue (add
    #PBS -W group_list=...)
  o According to GCM group this version of the GCM produces physically
    reasonable results on Columbia (and supposedly on Palm), but different
    from those of Halem(Compaq), therefore code needs to be taken w/ caution
    (probably on both machines).
  o for some yet unknown reason fvsetup fails at the end due to an error in
    the script fvsavef; however the only consequence is that the directories
    run and fcst do not get saved on mass-store while run is setup; user should
    do it by hand.

- A baseline experiment for this tag exists for the period starting 16 Jul 2004
  and ending 30 Sep 2004; expid is g5b1p3_p1 located under /output/todling

- Instructions for building are as follows (these are temporary targets):
  After code's checked out:
  a) setenv F90 f90 (if on Compaq or SGI); setenv F90 ifort (if on Palm/Columbia)
  b) setenv ESMA_FC ifort (if on Linux/Altix)
  c) setenv BASEDIR /share/ESMA/baselibs/v1_8r1p
  d) cd src; ./configure
  e) gmake allinstall  (this is temporary tag for this target and a few others to come)

- updated mpt lib version to 1.9.0.0 (this could be an issue w/ fvdas-1_5)
- this is a merge of g5gcm w/ all else tag: fvdas-1_5beta2


05Nov2004, Todling, CVS Tag: g5das-1_0alpha0
--------------------------------------------
- Initial tag for preliminary version of GEOS-5 DAS.
  This began from fvdas-1_5beta1 and GOES-5 GCM geos_agcm-5_0beta02


10Oct2004, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha12p1 = tag: fvdas-1_5beta1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- added T170L64 (l64y192) configuration to fvsetup for GSI
- added procedure to interpolate between diff resolutions of dyn-like files
  (extended options of dyn2dyn.x)
- renamed eta2bin.x to dyn2drs.x (to avoid confusion: both d_rst and dyn-like
  file are in actuality lcv-type files - more general than eta)
- created procedure to convert d_rst to dyn-like file:  drs2dyn.x
- Altix compilation under baselibs v1_5r4
- Bug fix: analyzer did not have correct sfc filename when doing asynoptic case
- Added hooks to allow activation of OIQC in DAS mode
- added module m_phytrj in fvgcm/phys to accommodate for physics trajectory
- added singular vector capability: To triger this capability following these:
- added fix to rh in fvgcm/phys/rh_limit: wtan-sphu-1

  1) dyn-trajectory:
   1a) edit fcst/ccmrun.namelist to define dyn-trajectory filenames via prog2dnm variable
   1b) set ndout desired frequency of dyn-trajectory
  2) copy fvsvec.x (from independent FVGCM build) into run directory of full-resolution forecast
  3) trajectory resolution and physics trajectory:
     3a) copy dyn2dyn.rc (from etc of current build) into fcst
     3b) edit dyn2dyn.rc and make sure resolutions are set to desired values as well as
         parameters related to phys trajectory
  4) namelists and resources for svec program:
     4a) properly prepare(*) a ccmrun.namelist for fvsvec.x purposes
     4b) place file from (4a) into fcst directory with name fvsvec.ccmrun.namelist
     4b) place fvsvec.rc into fcst directory
  5) The horizontal interpolation routine needs lwi; you can provide this by naming
     a p_rst file at the resolution of the final trajectory as: expid.lwi.072x046.bin, for
     example for a 4x5 trajectory case, and have this file placed under the fcst directory.
  6) To activate the physics trajectory generation you need to copy the dyn2dyn.rc file
     on to a file named "vdc2vdc.rc"; make sure the options in this file related to the
     physics trajectory are properly set.
  (*) in setting up a proper ccmrun namelist for svec purposes remember these:
      a) parameter JOB should be set to expname of full-resolution forecast
      b) trajectory filenames should have proper tamplates
      c) trajectory frequencies should be properly defined


06sep2004, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha12
---------------------------------------------
- Merge with fvchem-1_0beta12; tested for zero diff OK when using nq=2
                               tested done only on the compaq (taken as satisfactory)

- In this build the GCM is configured as pure MPI on the SGI's (need testing
  for overall impact on runtime).

- Version of BASELIBS to use for this release:  v1_5r2


02sep2004, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha11p3
-----------------------------------------------
- BASELIBS-ready DAS: The DAS now builds off baselibs
   on our GSFC machines these are found under: /share/ESMA/baselibs/ARCH
   where ARCH=OSF1,IRIX64 ...

- Before configuring and exporting this version user needs to do:
     setenv BASEDIR /share/ESMA/baselibs/...
     configure
     make export BASEDIR=$BASEDIR
  note: both env setting and BASEDIR parameters are required.

- This version also includes the OIQC in PAQC; slightly modified
  version from developer's tag: chekd_newlibs

- Bug fix to negative analysis sphu (and consequent crazy rh); note
  that rh can still be considerably large


15Jul2004, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha11
---------------------------------------------
- GSI-module updated to fvgsi-1_0alpha7p2 (with GSI equiv to ncep-gsi-2004_06)
- moved w3, bfr, and sp libs outside fvssi - they now sit on ncepshrd
- changes to fvsetup to accommodate fvchem and Linux env


19Mar2004, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha10
---------------------------------------------
- GSI updated to fvgsi-1_0alpha5 (as per NCEP updates of 07Apr2004)
- small changes in fvsetup


31Mar2004, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha9
--------------------------------------------
- bug fix in transf blending
- latest update from NCEP's GSI: gmao-gsi-1_1
- turned off precip assimilation by editing lnlist in shared/etc


17Mar2004, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha8
--------------------------------------------
- major bug fix in fvssi/transf/m_xform


24Feb2004, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha7
--------------------------------------------
- updated GSI to 1st unified version gmao-gsi-1_0unified


10Feb2004, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha6
--------------------------------------------
- Asynoptic OmF implementation: mild changes in fvgcm;
   changes in fvpsas and fvsetup  (zero diff when not
   invoking asynoptic capability).
- A couple of fixes and additions to etc/
- Wei Gu's modifications to bkgecov (rt-bkgecov-1)


15Jan2004, Todling, CVS Tag(pushed): fvdas-1_5alpha5
-----------------------------------------------------
- Syncronized w/ fvdas-1_4r2m1 (as it's tag been pushed today)
- Bug fix in analyzer related to ss2fv/eta_out.hdf


05Dec2003, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha5
--------------------------------------------
- directories: paqc; fvgcm; iret; fvsys; and shared in sync w/ fvdas-1_4r2m1
- all dirs inside fvssi/fvanalysis are from tag rt-fvgsi-1

                            IMPORTANT NOTE
                            ..............
  From this point all all DAS tag's w/ SSI must have -ssi- in them;
  regular tagging such as fvdas-1_5omegaX will be referring to GSI builds.


18Nov2003, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha4
--------------------------------------------
- updated common source codes (between PSAS-based
  and SSI-based DAS') to rt-fvdas-1_4r2p1_1 which
  is almost fvdas-1_4r2p2
- some changes in fvssi/tranf (related to rst)
- this version run on Halem just fine. However,
  it does not scale: a 32 and a 96 pe runs have the
  ssi.x program run in 8min (both).
- implemented split executation capability.
  NOTES:1- This is only reproducible when the equivalent non-split version
           runs w/ the ccmrun.namelist parameter IRADAE set to -anafreq where
           anafreq is the frequency of the analysis (currently 3, for 3hr freq);
        2- The split version takes longer to run a single day of assimilation:
           for 32 pe's on Jimpf, a single day of non-split takes about 1hr of
           walltime; the corresponding split version takes about 1:15hr.


29Sep2003, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha3
--------------------------------------------
- updated all applicable subcomponents to fvdas-1_4r2p1
- fvssi: halem-ready
- fvsys: changed fvsetup for halem compatibility
         ssi.rc.sample: turned off rad+pcp diagnostics

--------------------------------------------
- Added paqc (need reblock for bufr files on Halem)
- This version is almost Halem-ready


11Aug2003, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_5alpha1
--------------------------------------------
- First TAG of SSI-based fvdas. This has been built
  from fvdas-1_4alpha11, except for the contents of
  fvanalysis. This has been tested to a certain
  extent. It cycles properly, but it has issues.
  A related and relevant tag is: rt-f15-f14b10p1-0
- This version compiles on Halem, but nothing is yet
  known about how it runs.


08Aug2003, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_4alpha11
---------------------------------------------
- updates from fvdas-1_4beta10, except when it comes to model
- updated fvgcm to fvgcm-1_3r5p1

- fvanalysis and fvsys updated to support new
  3-hourly tskin analysis
- activated reduced PSAS
- increased DAOTOVS retrievals resolution to 2x2.5
- NOTE: This is an alpha tag because of the know bug
        in the Tskin SBC; currently the SBC is turned
        off by default; it works for the full upper-air
        analysis (softwarewise), but not for the Tskin
        analysis.


01Jul2003, Todling, CVS Tag: fvdas-1_4beta10
>>>>  NOTE: There are known problems w/ this tag

------------------------------------------------------------
- src/fvgcm/: See src/fvgcm/CHANGES for detail.
  [dev tag: fvgcm-1_3_34, Bug# 688]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- src/fvgcm/ See src/fvgcm/CHANGES for detail. [dev tag: fvgcm-1_3_27, Bug# 642]
  and [dev tag: fvgcm-1_3r3p1, Bug# 671]
- Updated the following Makefile.conf* files:
  fvanalysis/ana/Makefile.conf.Linux and Makefile.conf.Linux.LF95
  fvanalysis/obs/Makefile.conf.Linux and Makefile.conf.Linux.LF95
  fvanalysis/psas/Makefile.conf.Linux, Makefile.conf.Linux.FFC,
  Makefile.conf.Linux.LF95, and Makefile.conf.Linux.PGI
  fvanalysis/sana/Makefile.conf.Linux and Makefile.conf.Linux.LF95
  NOTES:
  1) The modules paqc/ and iret/ are yet to be ported to Linux; fvgcm/ is known to
     work with LF95 but I have not test it recently.
  2) When building FVANA on Linux with tag fvdas-1_3beta15, remember to update the
     psas/ directory to a non-taft version of psas. After checkout, do this:
     cd fvanalysis/psas
     cvs update -r dao-pasas-05
  3) The PGI f90 compiler is still supported but it is no longer the default.
     Currently there are Makefile.conf.Linux.PGI throughout. I mechanism for
     configuring Linux compilers will be implemented sometime soon; in the meantime
     consult me if you must use PGI.
  4) Remember that big->little endian convertion is done at run time with LF95.
