new GETM release

[Knut]

Dear all,

within our yearly cycle new GETM versions were released.
The stable version is 2.2, the devel version 2.3.
Thanks to all active developers for their participation during the last
year.

New features:

� extended runtime analyses of parallel runs (timers, data exchange)

� dynamic data allocation supported for serial runs

� FABM support:
� a wrapper calls for each water column the 1D GOTM-FABM driver and
provides necessary forcing data
� 3D transport of FABM variables is carried out by GETM
� FABM state variables (3D pelagic, 3D diagnostic, 2D benthic) are
included into GETM output and restart files
� specifications via namelists: getm_fabm.inp, gotm_fabm.nml, fabm.nml

� optional output of netcdf data in double precision

� Visual Studio support

� inclusion of land cells after hotstart supported

� additional saving of velocities within original Cartesian reference
for curvilinear setups

� Numerical dissipation analysis, which in analogy to the numerical
mixing analysis calculates the kinetic energy dissipation due to the
discretisation of the advection schemes. Physical dissipation due to
vertical and horizontal stress divergence will be added soon. To
activate the mixing and dissipation analyses, set
save_numerical_analyses = .true. in io_spec.

� Optional output of single terms inside momentum balance is provided to
allow for better analysis of model performance. All terms are given as
layer integrals if they would be lumped to the right hand side of the
equation. GETM needs to be compiled with the option #ifdef
_MOMENTUM_TERMS_.

� support of nf-config

Fixed issues:

� missing OpenMP barrier for eqstate_method=1

� avoid possible segfaults while reading times from netcdf meteo files

� update salinity by freshwater flux also inside halo zones

� cfl number (and thus the limiter) of advection schemes depends on
splitting

� do not try to save meanout for runtype=1

� consider offset of river data for hotstart simulations

� obtain adaptive layer heights at velocity points by temporal average

� corrected Sommerfeld radiation condition at northern/southern open
boundaries

� added missing division by layer thickness in FCT advection

� corrected emergency break

� no default residual output

Under development:

� revised treatment of curvilinear grids

� new general vertical coordinates module

� higher-order advection schemes also for the depth-integrated mode

� nonhydrostatic screening (+ experimental nh solver)

� Smagorinsky parametrisation for horizontal diffusivities

� coupling to wave model SWAN

Hi Knut,

thanks a lot for the great work. Without you, we would not have the new
stable release ready today.

I hope that for the next stable release all our players are fit and healthy.

All the best,

Hans.
