[Mitgcm-support] ecco_c30_e1

[mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org]

Hi all,

I've put  a tar file under

/net/ice3/heimbach/ecco_c30_e1.tar.gz

which is hopefully
a common basis for all to work with and to improve upon.
My name convention was
ecco_c${mitgcmuv_cnumber}_e${ecco_cnumber}
${mitgcmuv_cnumber} makes clear on which forward model the 
                    package is based
${ecco_cnumber}     is the running checkoint number for ecco
                    under this MITgcmUV checkpoint
Please feel free to comment if you don't like this.

The package is based on MITgcmUV c30 with a few minor corrections.
The hope was to have already c32 included, but some problems
with that have to be sorted out first.

A few properties of this package:
- ./eesupp/src/ 
  Armin's fixes of the exch routines
- ./pkg/autodiff/ 
  some cleaning of flow directives related to
  active_file.F, active_file_ad.F;
  Removal of autodiff_*.F, since these are not needed.
- ./pkg/cost/ 
  Armin's and Elisabeth's cost functions
  for Atlantic meridional heat transport and CTD data
- ./pkg/ctrl/
  Cleaning-up and fixes to ctrl_pack, ctrl_unpack, ctrl_map, 
  ctrl_init, ctrl.h
- ./pkg/ecco/
  a slightly cleaned ecco_main.F
- ./pkg/exf/
  Connection of SST/SSS relaxation to forward model (exf_mapfields);
  some rudimentary changes to use surface climatology files
  in different "formats";
- ./optim/, ./lsopt/
  Some essential bug fixes
  But may still need testing;
  Armin's m1qn3 routine still needs to be included as alternative
  to lsopt

It would be important that you switch to the new package
entirely rather than only taking a few subroutine from it,
so that everybidy works on the same basis.
You may have to check your header files with respect to
CPP options, as well as your experiment-specific data files.
There is still some way to go to a release and I will
summarize the most important issues shortly.

Please report problems & bugs.
I will commit this version to the CVS tree.
I will make sure you'll have access to CVS to be able to
check in/out code.
I'll install CVS on the SIO system (will talk with Arne)
and give you a description of the main CVS commands.

Hope, I didn't forget anything.

Cheers
Patrick
