Hi Yuanlong,

I've gone through your comments and fixed many of the minor ones.  The
details are listed below:

  d = done
  ? = need more information
  ip = fix is "in progress"
  -- = other comment

The /dev_docs/ directory was just re-built.

I agree the notation is a bit sloppy.  But just that one change won't
fix it since there are three locations indicating (u,v) at different
steps through the algorithm.

Again, I don't think your one suggested change fixes it.

I don't understand whether this is right or wrong and will ask Chris.

Good point!  The LaTeX source specifies two different files:

  \includegraphics{part2/vgrid-cellcentered.eps}
  \includegraphics{part2/vgrid-accurate.eps}

but they do appear to be the same.

Will check this -- also code links here are being fixed.

>   ? 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!)
