[MITgcm-devel] Problem with lab_sea adjoint test

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Patrick, what is involved in running the lab_sea adjoint test?  I do have access 
to a TAF license at JPL.  I tried "testreport -t lab_sea -adm" without success. 
  Are there other options that I need to turn on?  I really want to be able to 
run the lab_sea adjoint test locally so that I don't break the adjoint every 
time I change something.

Is DIFFERENT_MULTIPLE still causing trouble?  If so, we can comment or CPP it 
out.  I don't think that anybody uses that capability at the moment.

That part was not working very well so I removed it altogether.

Could we stick with code of three weeks ago for the Arctic optimization?  There 
has been no significant changes in pkg/seaice that are used in the Arctic 
configuration.  Two-week-old or even a bit older vintage code is fine.
