Hi Ed,

Here is what I got so far. Some symbols can't be shown in the plain text
below so I attach the open-office file also. I can give you the page
numbers (PDF file) if you don't like the links in file. Let me know if
you have any question.

Errata:

Links in http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/as of August 6th,
2003

     1. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node13.html first
        sentence of the first paragraph: “inquiring in to” may read
        “inquiring into”.

     2. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node14.html last
        sentence of the first paragraph: “(left hand side of figure
        1.14) and height, $ z$, if we are modeling the ocean (right hand
        side of figure 1.14)” should read “(right hand side of figure
        1.14) and height, $ z$, if we are modeling the ocean (left hand
        side of figure 1.14)”

     3. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node15.html separate
        “at” from strings infront and behind in equations (1.6) and
        (1.7).

     4. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node18.html broken
        link in “and write eq([*]) in the form:” of the third line.

     5. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node18.html#SECTION00234320000000000000 $\displaystyle \dot{r}=\frac{Dp}{Dt}=\frac{1}{g}\frac{D\phi }{Dt}$ where $ p_{hy}$ is the hydrostatic pressure, Change p in Eq. (1.31) to $ p_{hy}$.

     6. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node32.html in
        Figure 2.1: u,v* should read u*,v*.

     7. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node33.html (2.19)
        $\displaystyle \eta^*$ $\displaystyle= $$\displaystyle
        \epsilon_{fs} \left( \eta^{n} +P-E+R \right)- \Delta t\partial_x
        H \widehat{u^{*}}+ \partial_y H \widehat{v^{*}}$ have some
        flauts.

     8. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node36.html in
        Figure 2.4: (theta, S*) and (u, v*) should read (theta*, S*) and
        (u*, v*).

     9. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node39.html Broken
        link in “Once $ {\eta}^{n+1}$ has been found, substituting into
        [*] yields...”

    10. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node46.html Links to
        the codes are all broken, and many thereafter.

    11. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node47.html in
        Figure 2.8 caption: Ac in c) and d) should be Au and Av
        respectively; In context for Fig. 2.8b: DXg, DYg should read
        DXc, DYc; Broken link in “see section [*] for more details” of
        line 2.

    12. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node48.html in
        Figure 2.9: (a) and (b) are the same!

    13. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node49.html Add
        explaination for hFacS.

    14. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node85.html Change
        “% cvs co -d directory -P -r release1_beta1 MITgcm” and related
        context.

    15. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node88.html Change
        “exp1 - Four layer, ocean double gyre. This experiment is
        described in detail in section [*]“ to “exp1 - Four layer, ocean
        double gyre. This experiment is described in detail in section
        3.10”

    16. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node94.html Add more
        explainations for output filename convention, i.e., convention
        for *.000000Itern.???.???.data.  

    17. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node95.html either
        change input files or change examples of matlab scripts to make
        them work.

    18. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node103.html the two
        paragraphs are almost the same.

    19. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node107.html#SECTION00493400000000000000 in section 3.9.3.4 yn should read y.

    20. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node112.html in
        section 3.10.4 first line: verification/exp2/ should read
        vierfication/exp1/

    21. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node112.html#SECTION004104600000000000000 the sNx and sNy here (=60) are not consistent with the SIZE.h file where these two are 30. I suggest change the sNx and sNy in SIZE.h to 60 and set nSx and nSy to 1 instead of 2. Thus the beginer can handle the output file more easier (i.e. Only one grid file) instead of dealing with tiling subgrid outputs (that's where those *.000000iter.???.??? files come from!)

    22. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node113.html this
        section can be deleted since it is redundant.

    23. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node117.html#SECTION004113200000000000000 for bulleted item Line 30: eosType='POLY3' should read eosType='LINEAR'; bulleted item Line 45: 20 mins should read 40 mins (2400s/60=40min);

    24. Sections 3.11.3.5 to 3.11.3.7 are not related to this case and
        should be deleted.

    25. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node124.html the
        first paragraph is not related.

    26. Held-Suarez Atmospheric Simulation at 2.8 degree Resolution.
        Comments: No problem in executon. But the results are
        questionable. I checked the Temperature fields. There are some
        spikelike features embeded in a nevertheless smoothed fields.
        Those values are extremely large (~1027) yet others are in
        general between 3.7 – 3.8 (is this surposed be in K?)

    27. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node126.html
        verification/exp2 should read verification/hs94.128x64x5.

    28. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node127.html Surface
        Driven Convection. Comments: Can't find verification/convection
        directory! I searched the Qsurf.bin file that is exlusively used
        by this case (as described in doc) but couldn't find it. I guess
        it is missing from the package.

    29. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node133.html section
        3.14.6 can be deleted.

    30. Gravity Plume on a Continental Slope. Comments: Successfully
        executed. Although the output figures need some work since the
        grid system is not a regular one.

    31. Centennial Time Scale Tracer Injection. Comments: The whole
        section 3.16 is a copy of case (3), where is the case?

    32. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node145.html the
        first paragraph is similar to the last paragraph of section 4.1.
        Also in it, section 3.8 mentioned is non-related to the context.

    33. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node147.html in
        Figure 4.1 caption: “is written too fit...” should read “is
        written to fit...”.

    34. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node148.html in last
        second sentence: “is also used routinely used on ...” should
        read “is also routinely used on ...”

    35. http://mitgcm.org/dev_docs/online_documents/node151.html in
        section 4.2.4.1: the last sentence: delete “on”.
