Release Notes ============= New validated features in the public release -------------------------------------------- * Weimer 2005 electric potential model, optionally with IMF data. * Dynamic critical cross-over latitudes for transition between dynamo and empirical models at high-latitude. * For a more detailed description of the use of the Weimer 2005 model in the TIEGCM, and the dynamic cross-over latitudes, please see :ref:`Notes on Weimer05 in TIEGCM `. * New diagnostics module (diags.F). 22 "sanctioned" diagnostic fields are available, and can be saved on secondary histories (see diags.table in doc directory). * HPSS archive script can be saved by the model, to be executed after a run to save history files to the NCAR HPSS with "contents" annotations. New Build System (scripts/ directory) ------------------------------------- * Make.machine files containing platform and machine-specific compiler and link options, library locations, etc. are available in scripts directory. * New simplified Makefile without platform-dependent conditionals. * Support for Intel ifort/mpif90 compiler on 64-bit HAO Linux systems (Intel-built code is significantly faster than PGI-built code on systems with Intel hardware) * Write svnversion to history files. Utilities (scripts/ directory) ------------------------------ * *tgcm_contents:* Print "contents" (annotations) of history files * *tgcm_ncdump:* Print ncdump of history files, with data for scalars and 1d vectors * *tgcm_put:* Archive history files on the NCAR HPSS storage system * *mknamelist:* Make a namelist input file * *mkjob:* Make a job script Validation and Benchmark Runs (tests/ directory) ------------------------------------------------ * Namelist input files and job scripts for benchmark runs are available in the tests/ directory. * Seasonal steady-state source histories are provided for both equinoxes and solstices, at solar minimum and solar maximum conditions. * The following benchmark runs were made with tiegcm v\ |version|: * **Control:** 5-day Control Runs are made, starting from the steady-state seasonal source histories. * **Climatology:** Full-year Climatology with constant solar forcing. * **Dec2006:** December, 2006 "AGU" storm case. * **Nov2003:** November 19-24 (days 323-328), 2003 storm case. * **Whi2008:** Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI), March 21 to April 16, 2008. * For more detailed information and access to the history files and post-processing, please see :ref:`Benchmark/test runs `. Changes to namelist inputs -------------------------- * Weimer potential model with IMF data from IMF_NCFILE, and F10.7 data from GPI_NCFILE. * HPSS_PATH specifies destination path to the NCAR HPSS, for history file archive script. (All references to the old NCAR MSS have been removed) * Time-dependent namelist option for F107a and F107d * The following namelist parameters are deprecated: SAVE, SECSAVE, DISPOSE Changes in the documentation directory doc/ ------------------------------------------- * All new User's Guide (pdf, html) is now provided in the doc directory. * Model Description (pdf) also provided in the doc directory. * README.download: Information and instructions for downloading and executing a default run with the current version. * Release_Notes: Release notes for the current version. Bug Fixes --------- * Change nmlon to nlonp1 where defining dynpot, line 292 of magfield.F * Change op(k,i) to nop(k,i) in calculation of ion chemistry heating (qic). Line 119 of qjion.F Other ----- * Changed units of f107d, f107a, ctpoten, and hpower on the histories. * Divide by avogadro's number instead of multiplying by 1.66e-24 in sub calczg (addiag.F).
