The latest release is a 0-diff change when running the default catchment. However, it is a non-0-diff change when running CatchmentCN.

1. Updates to land:
   1. SurfParams: Introduced separate parameter collections for different land model choices that are being cross-checked against the land model choice.
   2. Updates to reproduce Fanwei Zeng’s LDASsa Catchment-CN simulations (science-validated, published) using the 'CN_CLM4' option.
2. Restructure/Refactor DO_OBIO (see Issue #362)
3. Add Docker authentication for pulls.
4. Add logger for NaN detection (at a WARNING level) for QSAT and DQSAT codes.
5. Make plots/configure portable when using someone else's build.
6. Allow longer job names for PBS/SLURM.
7. Update to MAPL.

Updates 2020-10-14

Zero-diff to previous release: YES for AGCM, NO for coupled model

Restart Changes: YES (OLRB06RG and TBRB06RG variables added to irrad_internal restart)

Major updates include:

1. Add TOA RRTMG Band6 (window region) IR diagnostics.
2. Include new diagnostics for the constraints and new plots for them.
3. Clean up clumsy logic in GEOS_OpenWaterGridComp.F90 (Issue #356)
   1. removes the AOIL_COMP_SWITCH
   2. AOIL now properly works with the coupled model (non 0-diff)
   3. maintains 0-diff for uncoupled mode
   4. computations to update the state variables (TW, SW, HW and other internals) are now performed via a call to AOIL_v0.
   5. AOIL_v0 also provides following two options that are turned OFF by default:
      • provide a more gradual decay of diurnal warming as observed in nature: WARM_LAYER_GRAD_DECAY
      • update turbulent heat fluxes after the state variables have been updated: UPDATE_FLUXES_AOIL_SECOND_STEP
4. Upgrade to MAPL 2.3 with a number of changes listed here.
5. Fixed regrid_forcing.x and regrid_forcing_esmf.x so they will work with MAPL2.2 and beyond.
6. Logging config improvements and bugfixes.
7. Fixed a bug in ExtData when extrapolating on a Leap Day.
8. Added a deflate and bit shaving option to Regrid_Util.x.
9. Fix bug with using coarse grids in History and ExtData.
10. Lowers the amount of jobs used during make -jN install in build.csh to mitigate possible segfaults.
11. Updated the NCPUs detection in various post scripts to be SLURM-aware.

Rollback nint()

Zero-diff to previous release: NO

Restart Changes: NO

The only change in this release is moving back to using int() not nint() in GEOS_Shared/GEOS_Utilities.F90 which may cause crashes if the Debugging flags are on. Nevertheless, this is a non zero-diff change to the gcm.

Non-Zero-Diff Bugfixes and Switch to Intel-19

Zero-diff to previous release: NO

Restart Changes: YES for values; NO for entries/structure

Major non-0-diff changes include:

1. Update to ESMA_env v3.0.0 (NOTE: SLES 11 Support at NCCS is Removed)

• ESMA Baselibs 6.0.16
• Use a new Python Stack: GEOSpyD/Min4.8.3_py2.7
• Update compilers and MPI stacks
  • NCCS
    • Intel Fortran 19.1.2
    • Intel MPI 19.1.2
  • NAS
    • Intel Fortran 2020.2.254 (aka 19.1.2)
    • MPT 2.17 (same as before)
  • GMAO Desktop
    • Intel Fortran 19.1.2
    • Open MPI 4.0.4

2. The GEOSadas-5_27_0 version of GEOS_Shared/GEOS_Utilities.F90 has slightly different code, nint() instead of int(). This brings git up to date.
3. Bugfix for computations in uwshcu.F90 that involved MAPL_UNDEF
4. Bug fix for GCC 10 with DRHOS0
5. Upgrade to GEOSchem_GridComp v1.4.1

EMIP and Other Updates

Zero-diff to previous release: YES

Restart Changes: NO

Major changes include:

1. Allows EMIPs to work with New Land restart files. These files do not necessarily occur on the same day of the month. The modified code will search for files within a given year-month and start an EMIP member from that date.
2. Fixed gcm_regress.j such that it allows to run regression test on coupled model with MOM5 and MOM6 ocean.
3. Removed S2S history template with confusing name.
4. Adds an fv3_setup and fv3.j script for the FV3 Standalone.
5. Allows the JCAP functionality to work again in mkiau gridcomp as that needs the r4 version of ncesp_sp in gmao_transf.
6. Modify mpirun flags for Open MPI 4.0.4.
7. Updates to plots.

New MOM6, NCAR GWD, and Other Updates

Zero-diff to previous release: YES - for default 72L-1MOM configuration

Updated Vertical Levels

Zero-diff to previous release: ONLY 72L 1-MOMENT DEFAULT CONFIG

Restart Changes: NO

Only 0-diff for 72-level 1-MOMENT default configuration. Non-0-diff for ALL others. Major changes include:
