[MITgcm-devel] tag & PACKAGES_READPARMS

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hello,

I will make a tag very soon (checkpoint54d_post)
since I don't see any serious thing left from the 
stagger time-stepping re-arrangement.

other thing, about the call sequence in initialise_fixed.F:
PACKAGES_READPARMS should come just after INI_PARMS,
and before INI_GRID & INI_EOS
so that 
a) all the pkg parameters are loaded before doing any substantial 
   initialization.
   for example, would make things easier to move EOS in a pkg.
b) PACKAGES_INIT_FIXED would not be called just after PACKAGES_READPARMS,
   and this would allow to choose what part of the pkg initialization
   needs to be done very early (in PACKAGES_READPARMS), the rest staying
   in PACKAGES_INIT_FIXED. 
   for instance, INI_EOS, MON_INIT (MNC_INIT & MNC_CW_INIT ?) could 
   move to PACKAGES_READPARMS (not sure if it's a good thing, but at 
   least it would make it possible). 

Do you agree with this ?
