  1. Adds the Bodner et al. 2023 version of MLE

    Changes:
    
    - Allow MLE parameterization to see surface buoyancy flux return from
      PBL scheme (affects MOM.F90, MOM_variables.F90:vertvisc_type,
      MOM_diabatic_driver.F90, MOM_set_viscosity.F90)
    
    - Adds the Bodner et al., 2023, parameterization of restratification by
      mixed-layer eddies to MOM_mixed_layer_restrat.F90
    
      - This is a new subroutine rather than embedded inside the previous
        "OM4" version. It uses different inputs, different parameters,
        filters the BLD differently,
    
    - Renamed mixedlayer_restrat_general to mxiedlayer_restrat_OM4 to better
      distinguish the two versions.
    
    - Added function rmean2ts to extend the resetting running-mean time
      filter used in OM4 to use different time scales when growing or
      decaying. While mathematically the same in the limit of a zero
      "growing" time-scale, the implementation differs in the use of a
      reciprocal instead of division so was not added to the OM4 version.
    
    - Updated module documentation

  3. +Add Pa_to_RL2_T2 and Pa_to_RLZ_T2 to US type

      Add the combined unit scaling factors Pa_to_RL2_T2 and Pa_to_RLZ_T2 to the
    unit_scale_type to rescale pressures and wind stresses.  All answers are bitwise
    identical, but there are two new elements in a public type.

    places in the MOM6 code, including in the solo_driver and FMS_cap drivers.

    but have been omitted for now.  All answers are bitwise identical.

  5. +Add runtime parameter TAUX_MAGNITUDE

      Added the new runtime parameter TAUX_MAGNITUDE to set the strength of the
    zonal wind stresses when WIND_CONFIG = "2gyre", "1gyre" or "Neverworld", with a
    default that matches the previous hard-coded dimensional parameters that were
    used to specify the wind stresses in these cases.  Also use US%Pa_to_RLZ_T2 to
    rescale wind stresses throughout solo_driver/MOM_surface_forcing.F90.  By
    default, all answers are bitwise identical, but there is a new runtime parameter
    in the MOM_parameter_doc files for some test cases.

  6. Correct MLD_EN_VALS rescaling

      Correct inconsistent dimensional rescaling of the input values of MLD_EN_VALS,
    setting them all to [R Z3 T-2 ~> J m-2] to reflect that these are energies
    associated with vertical turbulent mixing.  This fixes a rescaling bug when
    these energies are set to non-default values at runtime, but all answers and
    output are bitwise identical when no rescaling is used.

  1. Add better error handling to read_var_sizes

      Add better error handling to read_var_sizes when a missing file or missing
    variable is provided as an argument.  Without this change the model fails with a
    segmentation fault on line 768 of MOM_io.F90 if a bad file or variable name is
    provided.  With this change, a useful error message is returned.  All answers
    are bitwise identical in all cases that worked previously.

  2. Checksum unrescaled non-Boussinesq thicknesses

      Redid the scaling of 52 checksum or check_redundant calls for thickness or
    transports to use the MKS counterparts of the thickness units (i.e., m and m3/s
    or kg/m2 and kg/s, depending on the Boussinesq approximation), rather than
    always rescaling them to m or m3/s.  In Boussinesq mode, everything remains the
    same, but in non-Boussinesq mode, this means that the model's actual variable
    are being checksummed and not a version that is rescaled by division by the
    (meaningless?) Boussinesq reference density.  All solutions are bitwise
    identical, but some debugging output will change in non-Boussinesq mode.

  3. (*)Use conversion factor for masscello diagnostic

      Use a conversion factor to rescale the units of masscello, just like every
    other diagnostic.  This does not change the diagnostic itself, but it changes
    the order of the rescaling and the vertical remapping of this diagnostic onto
    other coordinates (like z) or spatial averaging of this diagnostic, which can
    change values in the last bits for this diagnostic for Boussinesq models (but
    not for non-Boussinesq models, for which the conversion factor is an integer
    power of 2).  As a result some of the diagnostics derived from masscello can
    differ and this commit nominally fails the TC testing for reproducibility across
    code versions.  All solutions and primary diagnostics, however, are bitwise
    identical, and even the derived diagnostic calculations are mathematically
    equivalent.

  4. +Remove rescaling factors from restart files

      Remove the code to account for unit rescaling within the restart files.  This
    rescaling within the restart files has not been used in the code since March,
    2022, and the model will work with older restart files provided that they did
    not use dimensional rescaling, and even if they did they can be converted not to
    use rescaling with a short run with the older code that created them.  Also
    removed the publicly visible routines fix_restart_scaling and eliminated the
    m_to_H_restart element of the verticalGrid_type; in any cases of non-standard
    code using this element, it should be replaced with 1.0.  The various
    US%..._restart elements and fix_restart_unit_scaling are being retained for now
    because they are still being used in the SIS2 code.
    
      These changes significantly simplify the code, and they lead to a handful
    of constants that are always 1 not being included in the MOM6 restart files.
    All answers are bitwise identical, but a publicly visible interface has been
    eliminated, as has been an element (GV%m_to_H_restart) of a transparent type.

Commits on Apr 23, 2023

  1. +Add MOM_EOS_Wright_Full

      Added the new module MOM_EOS_Wright_full to enable the use of the version of
    the Wright equation of state that has been fit over the larger range of
    temperatures (-2 degC to 40 degC), salinities (0 psu to 40 psu) and pressures (0
    dbar to 10000 dbar), than the does the restricted range fit in MOM_EOS_Wright,
    which had been fit over the range of (-2 degC to 30 degC), (28 psu to 38 psu)
    and (0 to 5000 dbar).  Comments have been added to both modules to clearly
    document the range of properties over which they have been fitted.  The new
    equation of state is enabled by setting EQN_OF_STATE = "WRIGHT_FULL".  In
    addition, the default values for TFREEZE_FORM and EOS_QUADRATURE were changed
    depending on the equation of state to avoid having defaults that lead to fatal
    errors.  All answers are bitwise identical in any cases that currently work, but
    there are new entries in the MOM_parameter_doc files.
    
      For now, only the coefficients have been changed between MOM_EOS_Wright and
    MOM_EOS_Wright_full, but this means that it does not yet have all of the
    parentheses that it should, as github.com/mom-ocean/issues/1331 discusses.
    A follow up PR should add appropriate self-consistency and reference value
    checks (with a tolerance) for the various EOS routines, and then add enough
    parentheses to specify the order of arithmetic and hopefully enhance the
    accuracy.  Ideally this can be done with the new equation of state before it
    starts to be widely used, so that we can avoid needing a extra code to reproduce
    the older answers.

  3. (*)Rearranged parentheses in MOM_EOS_Wright_full

      Added parentheses to all expressions with three or more additions or
    multiplications in the MOM_EOS_Wright_full code, so that different compilers
    and compiler settings will reproduce the same answers in more cases.  In doing
    this, an effort was made to add the smallest terms first to reduce the impact
    of roundoff.  In some cases, the code was deliberately rearranged to cancel
    out the leading order terms more completely.  In addition, two bugs had been
    identified in calculate_density_second_derivs_wright_full.  These were corrected
    and the entire routine substantially refactored with renamed variables to make
    the derivation easier to follow and verify.  Apart from the bug corrections in
    the calculation of drho_dt_dt and drho_dt_dp, the changes in the expressions
    are mathematically equivalent, but they might make the model less noisy in some
    cases by reducing contributions from round-off errors.
    
      Also added comments highlighting two bugs in the drho_dt_dt and drho_dt_dp
    calculations in calculate_density_second_derivs_wright in the original
    MOM_EOS_Wright code, but did not correct them to preserve the previous answers.

  4. +Created the new module MOM_EOS_Wright_red

      Created a new module, MOM_EOS_Wright_red, that uses the reduced range fit
    coefficients from the Wright EOS paper, but uses the parentheses, expressions
    and bug fixes that are now in MOM_EOS_Wright_full.  To use this new module, set
    EQN_OF_STATE="WRIGHT_RED". This new form is mathematically equivalent using
    EQN_OF_STATE="WRIGHT" (apart from correcting the bugs in the calculations of
    drho_dt_dt and drho_dt_dp), but the order of arithmetic is different, so the
    answers will differ.  This change is probably as close as we can come to
    addressing the issues discussed at github.com/mom-ocean/issues/1331, so
    that issue should be closed once this commit is merged onto the main branch.
    Also corrected some misleading error messages in MOM_EOS and modified the code
    to properly handle the case for equations of state (like NEMO and UNESCO) that
    do not have a scalar form of calculate_density_derivs, but do have an array
    form.  By default, all answers are bitwise identical.

  5. *Fix bug in calculate_spec_vol_linear with spv_ref

      Corrected a sign error in calculate_spec_vol_array_linear and
    calculate_spec_vol_scalar_linear when a reference specific volume is provided.
    This bug will cause any configurations with EQN_OF_STATE="LINEAR" and
    BOUSSINESQ=False (neither of which is the default value) to have the wrong sign
    of the pressure gradients and other serious problems, like implausible sea
    surface and internal interface heights.  This combination of parameters would
    never be used in a realistic ocean model.  There are no impacted cases in any of
    the MOM6-examples tests cases, nor those used in the ESMG or dev/NCAR test
    suites, and it is very unlikely that any such case would work at all.  This bug
    was present in the original version of the calculate_spec_vol_linear routines,
    but it was only discovered after the implementation of the comprehensive
    equation of state unit testing.  This will change answers in configurations that
    could not have worked as viable ocean models, but answers are not impacted in
    any known configuration, and all solutions in test cases are bitwise identical.

  6. +Add EOS_unit_tests

      Added the new publicly visible function EOS_unit_tests, along with a call to
    it from inside of unit_tests.  These tests evaluate check values for density and
    assess the consistency of expressions for variables that can be derived from
    density with finite-difference estimates of the same variables.  These tests
    reveal inconsistencies or omissions with several of the options for the equation
    of state.  The EOS self-consistency tests that are failing are commented out for
    now, so that this redacted unit test passes.  All answers are bitwise identical,
    but there can be new diagnostic messages written out.

    by EOS_Wright.  All answers are bitwise identical, but the doxygen testing that
    had been failing for the previous 5 commits is working again.

  8. *+NEMO equation of state self-consistency

      Corrected numerous issues with the NEMO equation of state so that it is now
    self consistent:
    
    - Modified how coefficients are set in MOM_EOS_NEMO so that they are guaranteed
    to be internally self-consistent, as verified by the EOS unit tests confirming
    that the first derivatives of density with temperature and salinity are now
    consistent with the equation of state.  Previously these had only been
    consistent to about 7 decimal places, and hence the EOS unit tests were failing
    for the NEMO equation of state.
    
     - Added new public interfaces to calculate_density_second_derivs_NEMO, which
    had previously been missing.
    
     - Added code for calculate_compress_nemo that is explicitly derived from the
    NEMO EOS.  The previous version of calculate_compress_nemo  had worked only
    approximately via a call to the gsw package
    
      With these changes, the NEMO EOS routines are now passing the consistency
    testing in the EOS unit tests.  Answers will change for configurations that use
    the NEMO EOS to calculate any derivatives, and there are new public interfaces,
    but it does not appear that the NEMO equation of state is in use yet, at least
    it is not being used at EMC, FSU, GFDL, NASA GSFC, NCAR or in the ESMG
    configurations.

    is an overload for both scalar and array versions, to calculate the second
    derivatives of density with various combinations of temperature, salinity and
    pressure.  Also added a doxygen block at the end of MOM_EOS_UNESCO.F90 to
    describe this module and the papers it draws upon.  Also replaced fatal
    errors in MOM_EOS with calls to these new routines.  All answers are bitwise
    identical, but there are newly permitted combinations of options that previously
    failed.

  10. (*)+Added calc_density_second_derivs_wright_buggy

      Added the new public interface calc_density_second_derivs_wright_buggy to
    reproduce the existing answers and corrected bugs in the calculation of the
    second derivatives of density with temperature and with temperature and pressure
    in in calculate_density_second_derivs_wright.  Also added the new runtime
    parameter USE_WRIGHT_2ND_DERIV_BUG to indicate that the older (buggy) version of
    calculate_density_second_derivs_wright is to be used.  Most configurations will
    not be impacted, but by default answers will change with configurations that use
    the Wright equation of state and one of the Stanley or similar nonlinear EOS
    parameterizations, unless USE_WRIGHT_2ND_DERIV_BUG is explicitly set to True.
    
      This commit also activates the self-consistency unit testing with the Wright
    equation of state (now that it passes) and limited unit testing of the TEOS-10
    equation of state, omitting the second derivative calculations, one of which is
    failing (the second derivative of density with salinity and pressure) due to a
    bug in the TEOS10/gsw code.  Also added a unit test for consistency of the
    density and specific volume when an offset reference value is used.

    less sensitivity to round-off.  Also added comments to better describe the

    of state has also been added to MOM_EOS, where it is enabled by setting
    EQN_OF_STATE="ROQUET_SPV".  Two other new valid settings have been added to
    EQN_OF_STATE, "ROQUET_RHO" and "JACKETT_MCD", which synonymous with "NEMO" and
    "UNESCO" respectively, but more accurately reflect the publications that
    describe these fits to the equation of state.  The EoS unit tests are being
    called for the new equation of state (it passes).  By default, all answers are
    bitwise identical, but there are numerous new publicly visible interfaces.

      Added the new equation of state module MOM_EOS_Jackett06 with the rational

    temperature and practical salinity as state variables, but with a fit to more
    up-to-date observational data than Wright (1997) or UNESCO / Jackett and
    McDougall (1995).  This equation of state has also been added to MOM_EOS, where
    it is enabled by setting EQN_OF_STATE="JACKETT_06".  The EoS unit tests are
    being called for the new equation of state (it passes).  This commit also adds
    slightly more output from successful EoS unit tests when run with typical levels
    of verbosity.  By default, all answers are bitwise identical, but there are
    numerous new publicly visible interfaces.

      Added the routine calculate_specvol_derivs_UNESCO to calculate the derivatives
    of specific volume with temperature and salinity to the MOM_EOS_UNESCO module.
    Also added some missing parentheses elsewhere in this module so that the answers
    will be invariant to complier version and optimization levels.  Also revised the
    internal nomenclature of the parameters in this module to follow the conventions
    of the other EOS modules.  Although the revised expressions are mathematically
    equivalent, this commit will change answers for any cases that use EQN_OF_STATE
    = "UNESCO".  However, it is believed based on a survey of the MOM6 community
    that there are no active configurations that use this equation of state.  There
    is a new publicly visible routine.

  16. +Add EOS_fit_range and analogs for each EoS

      Added the new publicly visible subroutine EOS_fit_range and equivalent
    routines for each of the specific equation of state modules to return the range
    of temperatures, salinities, and pressures over which the observed data have
    been fitted.  This is also tested for in test_EOS_consistency to indicate
    whether a test value is outside of the fit range, but the real purpose will be
    to flag and then figure out how to deal with the case when the ocean model is
    called with properties for which the equation of state is not valid.  Note that
    as with all polynomial or other functional fits, extrapolating far outside of
    the fit range is likely to lead to bad values, but things may not be so bad for
    values that are only slightly outside of this range.  However the question of
    how far out of the fit range these EoS expressions become inappropriate for each

  18. *Refactor calculate_specific_vol_wright_full

      Refactored the specific volume calculations for the WRIGHT_FULL and WRIGHT_RED
    equations of states for simplicity or to reduce the impacts of roundoff when
    removing a reference value.  Also added code to multiply by the reciprocal of
    the denominator rather than dividing in several places in the int_spec_vol_dp
    routines for these same two equations of state, both for efficiency and greater
    consistency across optimization levels.  These changes are mathematically
    equivalent but will change answers at roundoff with these two equations of state,
    but they are so new that they can not have been used yet.

      Refactored MOM_EOS_Roquet_rho and MOM_EOS_Roquet_SpV to work directly with
    conservative temperatures in [degC] and pressures in [Pa] rather than
    normalizing them as in the original Roquet publication.  However, the
    coefficients are still set using the values directly copied from that paper, but
    rescaled where they are declared as parameters, enabling (or requiring)
    compilers to precalculate them during compilation.  These changes are
    mathematically equivalent but will change answers at roundoff with these two
    equations of state, but they are not believed to be in use yet.

  21. +Add calculate_TFreeze_TEOS_poly

      Added the overloaded interface calculate_TFreeze_TEOS_poly to MOM_TFreeze to
    use the 23-term polynomial expression from TEOS-10 for the freezing point in
    conservative temperature as a function of pressure and absolute salinity.  This
    gives results that agrees to within about 5e-4 degC with the algorithm used by
    calculate_TFreeze_TEOS10, which calls the gsw TEOS10 code that does an iterative
    inversion of a balance of chemical potentials to find the freezing point (see
    the TEOS10 documentation for more details).  Also added testing for the freezing
    point calculations to the EOS_unit tests via the new internal subroutine
    test_TFr_consistency.  This new freezing point calculation is invoked by setting
    TFREEZE_FORM = TEOS_POLY.  By default, all answers are bitwise identical, but
    there are some minor changes in the comments in some MOM_parameter_doc files,
    and there are several new interfaces.

  22. +*Add MOM_temperature_convert.F90

      Added the new module MOM_temperature_convert, which contains the elemental
    functions poTemp_to_consTemp and consTemp_to_poTemp to convert potential
    temperature to conservative temperature and the reverse.  These routines are
    mathematically equivalent to the TEOS-10 functions gsw_ct_from_pt and
    gsw_pt_from_ct, but with some refactoring and added parentheses to help ensure
    identical answers across compilers or levels of optimization.  Also added the
    new subroutines pot_temp_to_cons_temp and prac_saln_to_abs_saln, and added the
    new optional argument use_TEOS to convert_temp_salt_for_TEOS10, and
    cons_temp_to_pot_temp and abs_saln_to_prac_saln.
    
      The equivalency between the new code and their gsw_ counterparts is
    demonstrated in new tests in the new function test_TS_conversion_consistency,
    which in turn is called from EOS_unit_tests.
    
      All answers are mathematically equivalent, but because of the choice to use
    the new code by default there could be changes at the level of roundoff in some
    cases that use conservative temperature as their state variable but initialize
    it from potential temperature.  There are not any such cases yet in the
    MOM6-examples test suite, nor are there believed to be any such MOM6
    configurations that are widely used.  This commit introduces a new module and
    several new functions or subroutines with public interfaces.

    exception is because it is being called from SIS2 and has to stay publicly

    calculate_stanley_density routines were refactored to just use calculate_density
    and calculate_density_second_derivs call and avoid any EoS-specific logic, while
    the unused routine calculate_stanley_density_array is eliminated altogether.

  1. Removal of FMS1 I/O from FMS2 I/O infra

    This patch removes the calls to FMS1 I/O (fms_io_mod, mpp_io_mod) from
    the FMS2 infra layer, and now exclusively uses FMS2 for those
    operations.
    
    FMS2 I/O is currently restricted to files which use domains; files which
    do not use them are delegated to the native netCDF layer.  The reasoning
    for this is that FMS is required to define the formatting of
    domain-decomposed I/O; for single-file I/O, this is not necessary.
    
    This does not remove all references to FMS1 I/O from MOM6, only those in
    the I/O layer.
    
    Several minor changes are included to accommodate the change:
    
    * MOM restart I/O now always reports its MOM domain.  Previously, the
      domian was omitted when PARALLEL_RESTARTFILES was false, in order to
      trick FMS into handling this as a single file.  We now generate a new
      domain with an IO layout of [1,1] when single-file restarts are
      requested.
    
    * The interface acceleration (g') was incorrectly set to the layer grid
      (Nk) rather than the interface grid (Nk+1).  This did not appear to
      change any answers, but when Vertical_coordinate.nc was moved to the
      netCDF layer, it detected this error.  This is fixed in this patch.

  3. Add .nc extension to ALE Vertical_coordinate.

    The `Vertical_coordinate.nc` files has two points of creation,
    MOM_coord_initialization and MOM_ALE.  Having moved the file from the
    infra to netCDF I/O layer, the .nc extension is no longer automatically
    applied.
    
    The extension was explicitly added to `Vertical_coordinate` in
    MOM_coord_initialization, but not to MOM_ALE.  This patch adds the
    extension.
    
    Thanks to Kate Hedstrom for detecting this and Keith Lindsay for the
    proposed fix.

      Eliminate the unused optional argument eta_to_m from the two find_eta routines

  3. +Initialize thicknesses in height units

      Pass arguments in height units rather than thickness units to most of the
    routines that initialize thickness or temperatures and salinities.  These
    routines are already undoing this scaling and working in height units, and it is
    not possible to convert thicknesses to thickness units in non-Boussinesq mode
    until the temperatures and salinities are also known.  The routines whose
    argument units are altered include:
    
    - initialize_thickness_uniform
    - initialize_thickness_list
    - DOME_initialize_thickness
    - ISOMIP_initialize_thickness
    - benchmark_initialize_thickness
    - Neverworld_initialize_thickness
    - circle_obcs_initialize_thickness
    - lock_exchange_initialize_thickness
    - external_gwave_initialize_thickness
    - DOME2d_initialize_thickness
    - adjustment_initialize_thickness
    - sloshing_initialize_thickness
    - seamount_initialize_thickness
    - dumbbell_initialize_thickness
    - soliton_initialize_thickness
    - Phillips_initialize_thickness
    - Rossby_front_initialize_thickness
    - user_initialize_thickness
    - DOME2d_initialize_temperature_salinity
    - ISOMIP_initialize_temperature_salinity
    - adjustment_initialize_temperature_salinity
    - baroclinic_zone_init_temperature_salinity
    - sloshing_initialize_temperature_salinity
    - seamount_initialize_temperature_salinity
    - dumbbell_initialize_temperature_salinity
    - Rossby_front_initialize_temperature_salinity
    - SCM_CVMix_tests_TS_init
    - dense_water_initialize_TS
    - adjustEtaToFitBathymetry
    
    Similar changes were made internally to MOM_temp_salt_initialize_from_Z to defer
    the transition to working in thickness units, although the appropriate call to
    convert_thickness does still occur within MOM_temp_salt_initialize_from_Z and
    the units of its arguments are not changed.
    
      The routine convert thickness was modified to work with a new input depth
    space input thickness argument and return a thickness in thickness units, and it
    is now being called after all of the routines to initialize thicknesses and
    temperatures and salinities, except in the few cases where the thickness are
    being specified directly in mass-based thickness units, as might happen when
    they are read from an input file.
    
      The new option "mass_file" is now a recognized option for the THICKNESS_CONFIG
    runtime parameter, and this information is passed in the new mass_file argument
    to initialize_thickness_from_file.  The description of the runtime parameter
    THICKNESS_IC_RESCALE was updated to reflect this change.
    
      The unused thickness (h) argument to soliton_initialize_velocity was
    eliminated.
    
      The unused thickness (h) argument to determine_temperature was eliminated, as
    was the unused optional h_massless argument to the same function.
    
      This commit also rearranges the calls to do adjustments to the thicknesses to
    account for the presence of an ice shelf or to iteratively apply the ALE
    remapping to occur before the velocities are initialized, so that there is a
    clearer separation of the phases of the initialization.
    
      Also added optional height_units argument to ALE_initThicknessToCoord to
    specify that the coordinate are to be returned in height_units.  If it is
    omitted or false, the previous thickness units are returned, but when called
    from MOM_initialize_state the new argument is being used.
    
      The runtime parameter CONVERT_THICKNESS_UNITS is no longer meaningful, so it
    has been obsoleted.
    
      All answers are bitwise identical, but there are multiple changes to the
    arguments to publicly visible subroutines or their units, and there are changes
    to the contents of the MOM_parameter_doc files.

  4. +Add the new overloaded interface dz_to_thickness

      Renamed convert_thickness from MOM_state_initialization to dz_to_thickness_tv
    in MOM_density_integrals, so that it can be called from other lower-level
    modules. This new version also takes the tv%p_surf field into account and it has
    an optional halo_size argument, analogous to that in the other routines in the
    MOM_density_integrals module.  The dz_to_thickness interface is overloaded so
    that it can also be used directly with temperature, salinity, and the equation
    of state type if the thermo_var_ptrs is not available.  There is also a new and
    separate variant of this routine, dz_to_thickness_simple, that can be used in
    pure layered mode when temperature and salinity are not state variables, or
    (more dangerously) if it is not clear whether or not there is an equation of
    state.  This simpler version is being kept separate from the main overloaded
    interface because its use may need to be revisited later in some cases.  All
    answers are bitwise identical, but there are two new public interfaces,
    dz_to_thickness and dz_to_thickness_simple.

  5. (*)Improve non-Boussinesq initialization

      This commit includes three distinct sets of changes inside of
    MOM_state_initialization.F90 to better handle the initialization of
    non-Boussinesq models, none of which change any answers in Boussinesq models.
    These include:
    
     - Refactored trim_for_ice to have a separate, simpler form appropriate for use
       in non-Boussinesq mode.  The units of the min_thickness argument to
       cut_off_column top were also changed to thickness units.
    
     - Initialize_sponges_file was refactored to work in depth-space variables
       before using dz_to_thickness to convert to thicknesses, but also to properly
       handle the case where the input file has a different number of vertical
       layers than the model is using, in which case the previous version could have
       had a segmentation fault.
    
     - Code in MOM_temp_salt_initialize_from_Z was reordered to more clearly group
       it into distinct phases.  It also uses the new dz_to_thickness routine to
       convert input depths into thicknesses.
    
      All answers are bitwise identical in all Boussinesq test cases and all test
    cases in the MOM6-examples regression suite, but answers could
    be changed and improved in some non-Boussinesq cases.

  6. (*)Use dz_to_thickness in 4 user modules

      Use dz_to_thickness to convert vertical distances to layer thicknesses in the
    sponge initialization routines in the DOME2d_initialization,
    ISOMIP_initialization, dumbbell_initialization and dense_water_initialization
    modules, and also in MOM_initialize_tracer_from_Z.  For the user modules,
    the presence or absence of an equation of state is known and handled properly,
    but MOM_initialize_tracer_from_Z works with the generic tracer code and it
    it outside of the scope of MOM6 code to provide any information about the
    equation of state or the state variables that would be needed to initialize
    a non-Boussinesq model properly from a depth-space input file.  For now we
    are doing the best we can, but this should be revisited.  All examples in
    existing test cases are bitwise identical, but answers could change (and be
    improved) in any non-Boussinesq variants of the relevant test cases.

  1. POSIX: generic wrappers for all setjmp.h symbols

    This patch extends the generic wrappers of sigsetjmp to all of the *jmp
    wrapper functions in <setjmp.h>
    
    The C standard allows these to be defined as macros, rather than
    explicit functions, which cannot be referenced by Fortran C bindings, so
    we cannot assume that these functions exist, even when using a compliant
    libc.
    
    As with sigsetjmp, these functions are now disabled on default, and
    raise a runtime error if called by the program.  Realistically, they
    will only be defined by an autoconf-configured build.
    
    This is required for older Linux distributions where libc does not
    define longjmp.

    This patch modifies the `ac/deps` Makefile used to build the FMS

    `ac/deps/fms/src` directory.  This keeps the FMS checkout unchanged and
    allows us to better track any development changes in that library during

    The .testing/Makefile was also modified to use existing rules in
    deps/Makefile rather than duplicating them.
    
    Dependency of the m4 directory is also now more explicit (albeit still
    somewhat incomplete).

  1. Autoconf: Explicit MOM_memory.h configuration

    MOM6 requires an explicit MOM_memory.h header to define its numerical
    field memory layout.  Previously, autoconf provided a flag to configure
    this with `--enable-*`, but was prone to two issues:
    
    * The binary choice of symmetric/nonsymmetric prevented use of static
      headers.
    
    * It was an incorrect use of `--enable-*`, which is intended to enable
      additional internal features; it is not used to select a mode.
    
    To address these issues, we drop the flag and replace it with an
    AC_ARG_VAR variable, MOM_MEMORY, which is a path to the file.  This
    variable will default to dynamic symmetric mode,
    
        config_src/memory/dynamic_symmetric/MOM_memory.h
    
    so there should be no change for existing users.
    
    To the best of my knowledge, no one used the `--enable-*` flag, nor was
    it used in any automated systems (outside of .testing), so there should
    be no issue with dropping it.
    
    .testing/Makefile was updated to use MOM_MEMORY.

  1. +Set_interp_answer_date and REGRIDDING_ANSWER_DATE

      Add the ability to set the answer date for the regridding code, including the
    addition of the new subroutine set_interp_answer_date and the new runtime
    parameter REGRIDDING_ANSWER_DATE to specify the code vintage to use with state-
    dependent vertical coordinates.  There is also new optional argument to
    set_regrid_params.  By default, all answers are bitwise identical, but there are
    new or modified public interfaces and there is a new entry in some
    MOM_parameter_doc files.

  1. *+Revise non-Boussinesq find_coupling_coef calcs

      Restructure one of the find_coupling_coef calculations to draw out the
    stress-magnitude terms, in preparation for future steps to reduce the dependency
    on the Boussinesq reference density.  Using a value of VERT_FRICTION_ANSWER_DATE
    that is below 20230601 recovers the previous answers with non-Boussinesq test
    cases, but this is irrelevant for Boussinesq test cases.  This updated code is
    mathematically equivalent to the previous expressions but it does change answers
    at roundoff in non-Boussinesq cases for recent answer dates.  There are
    modifications to some comments in MOM_parameter_doc files.

  2. +Code to calculate layer averaged specific volumes

      Add routines to calculate and store the layer-averaged specific volume, along
    with code to do the unit testing of this new capability. The new public
    interfaces include avg_specific_vol, average_specific_vol, avg_spec_vol_Wright,
    avg_spec_vol_Wright_full, avg_spec_vol_Wright_red and avg_spec_vol_linear.
    There is also a new optional argument to test_EOS_consistency to control whether
    these new capabilties are tested for a particular equation of state.  All
    answers are bitwise identical, and the new capabilities pass the unit testing
    for self consistency.

  3. +Add thickness_to_dz and calc_derived_thermo

      Added the new overloaded interface thickness_to_dz to convert the layer
    thicknesses in thickness units [H ~> m or kg m-2] into vertical distances in
    [Z ~> m], with variants that set full 3-d arrays or an i-/k- slice.  Also added
    a field (SpV_avg) for the layer-averaged specific volume to the thermo_vars_ptr
    type and the new subroutine calc_derived_thermo to set it.  This new subroutine
    is being called after halo updates to the temperatures and salinities.  The new
    runtime parameter SEMI_BOUSSINESQ was added to determine whether tv%SpV_avg is
    allocated and used; it is stored in GV%semi_Boussinesq.  Also added the new
    element GV%dZ_subroundoff to the verticalGrid_type as a counterpart to
    GV%H_subroundoff but in height units.  All answers are bitwise identical, but
    there is a new runtime parameter in some MOM_parameter_doc files, new elements
    in a transparent type and a new public interface.

  1. wave structure computation into wave_speeds

    wave_speeds now computes the wave structures
    (eigenvectors) for each mode speed (eigenvalue)
    similarly to the wave_speed (singular) function.
    This is a replacement for the MOM_wave_structure
    function, which could be removed in a subsequent PR.
    
    Additional arrays for mode strucures and integral
    quantities are passed as output hence this is a
    breaking change for the call to wave_speeds.
    However it is only called once in diabatic_driver
    and is used exclusively for internal tides ray tracing.
    
    The dimensional solutions for the wave structures are now
    computed inside MOM_internal_tides, and new diagnostics
    are added.
    
    An out-of-bounds bug is also corrected for the computation
    of an averaged coriolis parameter.

  3. Autoconf: Better Unicode Python support in makedep

    The `open()` commands in `makedep` for reading Fortran source now
    includes an `errors=` argument for catching bytes outside of the file
    character set.  Unknown characters are replaced with the "unknown"
    character (usually �) rather than raising an error.
    
    This avoids problems with Unicode characters and older Pythons which do not
    support them, as well as characters from legacy encodings which can
    cause errors in Unicode.
    
    Substitution does not break any behavior, since Unicode is only
    permitted inside of comment blocks and strings.
    
    This fixes several errors which were silent in `.testing` but were
    observed by some users which using autoconf to build their own
    executables.

  4. Autoconf: Fix Python test and allow configuration

    The AC_PATH_PROGS macros used in Python testing were incorrectly using
    AC_MSG_ERROR in places where a missing value for PYTHON should be if the
    executable was not found.
    
    It also did not permit for a configurable PYTHON variable, since the
    autodetect was always run, even if PYTHON were set.
    
    This has been updated so that Python autodetection only runs if
    PYTHON is unset.  It also correctly reports a failed configuration if
    PYTHON is not found.
    
    (It does not, however, test of PYTHON is actually a Python interpreter,
    but we can deal with that at a later date.)

    - PGI in general has issues with class(*) construct and in this case
    cannot recognize the axis argument to be a string.
    - This mod helps PGI recognize that the argument is a string.

  1. FMS2 interpolation ID replaced with derived type

    All instances of an FMS ID to the internal interpolation content is
    replaced with a derived type containing additional metadata recording
    the field's origin filename and fieldname.
    
    This additional information is required in order to replicate the axis
    data from the field, which is no longer provided by FMS2.
    
    The abstraction of this type also allows us to either extend it or
    redefine it in other frameworks as needed in the future.
    
    This primarily affects the usage of the following functions:
    
    - init_external_field
    - time_interp_external
    - horiz_interp_and_extrap_tracer
    
    The following solvers are updated:
    
    - MOM_open_boundary
    - MOM_ice_shelf
    - MOM_oda_driver
    - MOM_MEKE
    - MOM_ALE_sponge
    - MOM_diabatic_aux
    
    Of these, OBC was the most significant.  The integer handle (fid) was
    previously used to determine if each segment field was constant or (if
    negative) read from a file.  After being replaced by the derived type, a
    new flag was added to make this determination.
    
    All of the coupled drivers have been modified, since they support time
    interpolation of T and S fields.
    
    - FMS
    - MCT
    - NUOPC
    
    The NUOPC driver also includes modifications to its CFC11 and CFC12
    fields.  Changes to the MOM CFC modules replaces an `id == -1`-like
    test, which is not used by the derived type.  This check has been
    removed, and we now solely rely on the `present(cfc_handle)` test.
    
    While this could change behavior, there does not seem to be any scenario
    where init_external_field would return -1 but would be passed to the
    function.  (But I may eat these words.)

  2. FMS2: Remove MPP-based axis data access

    With removal of axis-based operations in FMS2 I/O, this patch removes
    references to these calls and replaces them with MOM `axes_info` types.
    References to FMS1 read into an `axistype`, but the contents are
    transferred to an `axis_info`.  FMS2 directly populates the `axis_info`
    content.
    
    The `get_external_field_info` calls are modified to return `axis_info`
    rather than `axistype`.
    
    The redundant `get_axis_data` function is also removed from
    `MOM_interp_infra`, since `get_axis_info` provides an equivalent
    operation.
    
    Generally speaking, this is not an improvement of the codebase.  The
    FMS1 layer does a redundant copy of data from `axistype` to `axis_info`.
    The FMS2 layer is significantly worse, and re-opens the file to read the
    axis data for each field!  But if the intention is to leverage the
    existing API, then I don't think we have any choice at the moment.
    
    Assuming this is a relatively infrequent operation, this should not
    cause any measureable issues, but it needs to be watched carefully.

  3. FMS2: Update time_interp_external functions

    This patch shifts all remaining time_interp_external functions from
    time_interp_external to equivalent ones in time_interp_external2.
    
    Internally, time-interpolated fields are initialized with `ongrid` set
    to `.true.`, and such fields are assumed to be on-grid.
    
    This seems to hold for all existing instances of `time_interp_external`,
    but needs to be monitored in the future somehow.

  4. FMS2: Case-insensitive init_external_field

    The FMS1 implementation of init_external_field is case-insensitive, but
    the FMS2 implementation is case-sensitive, which can cause errors in
    older established input files.
    
    This patch sweeps through the fields of the input files and checks for a
    case-insensitive match (using lowercase()).  This requires an additional
    open/close of the file.

  3. FMS2: Safe inspection of unlimited dim name

    if no unlimited dimension is found.  This is problematic for legacy or
    externally created input files which may have not identifed their time
    axis as unlimited.
    
    This patch adds a new function, `find_unlimited_dimension_name` which
    mirrors the FMS2 function but returns an empty string if none are found.
    
    This is an internal function, not intended for use outside of the
    module.

  1. +Refactor internal_tides interface

      Refactors the internal tide code in MOM_internal_tides and MOM_diabatic_driver
    to consolidate it in the MOM_internal_tides module and allow the control
    structure for that module to be made opaque.  This includes moving the internal
    wave speed diagnostics and the call to wave_speeds or other code setting the
    internal wave speeds into propagate_int_tide.  The get_param calls for
    INTERNAL_WAVE_CG1_THRESH and UNIFORM_TEST_CG were moved from the diabatic module
    to the MOM_internal_tides module. The wave_speed_CS and uniform_test_cg were
    removed from diabatic_CS and added to int_tide_CS.  The Nb argument to
    propagate_int_tide has been made intent inout, as it is now usually set via the
    call to wave_speeds in that routine, but for certain tests it could use the
    value passed in from diabatic_driver.
    
      All answers are bitwise identical, but there are changes to public interfaces
    and types, and the order of some entries in the MOM_parameter_doc files and the
    available_diags files is changed for some cases.

  2. +Add fluxes%tau_mag and forces%tau_mag

      Add new allocatable tau_mag arrays to the forcing and mech_forcing types to
    hold the magnitude of the wind stresses including gustiness contributions.
    There is also a new tau_mag diagnostic.  This same information in tau_mag is
    being transformed into ustar, but these changes avoid division by the Boussinesq
    reference density (GV%Rho0), and allow for a more accurate calculation of
    derived fields when in non-Boussinesq mode, without having to multiply and
    divide by GV%Rho0.  There is also a new optional tau_mag argument to
    extract_IOB_stresses to support these changes.  These new arrays are not being
    used yet in the MOM6 solutions, but they are being allocated and populated in
    the routines that set the ustar fields, and they have been tested in changes to
    the modules that use ustar that will come in a subsequent commit. This commit
    also adds the new RLZ_T2_to_Pa element to the unit_scale_type to undo the
    scaling of wind stresses and it makes use of it in some of the new code.  All
    answers are bitwise identical, but there are new arrays or elements in three
    transparent public types.

  3. *+Fix problems in mixedlayer_restrat_Bodner

      Fixed several problems with the recently added Bodner mixed layer
    restratification parameterization code.
    
    - Corrected the dimensional rescaling in the expressions for psi_mag by adding a
      missing factor of US%L_to_Z.
    
    - A logical branch was added based on the correct mask for land or OBC points to
      avoid potentially ill-defined calculations of the magnitude of the Bodner
      parameterization streamfunction, some which were leading to NaNs.
    
    - Set a tiny but nonzero default value for MIN_WSTAR2 to avoid NaNs in some
      calculations of the streamfunction magnitude.
    
    - Revised the expression for dd within the mu function in a mathematically
      equivalent way to avoid any possibility of taking a fractional exponential
      power of a tiny negative number due to truncation errors, which was leading to
      NaNs in some cases while developing and debugging the other changes that are
      not included in this commit.  This does not appear to change any answers in
      the existing test cases, perhaps because the mixed layer restratification
      "tail" is not being activated by setting TAIL_DH to be larger than 0.
    
    - Corrected or added variable units in comments in the mixedlayer_restrat
      control structure.
    
      These could change answers (and avoid NaNs) in some cases with
    USE_BODNER23=True, MLE_TAIL_DH > 0 or MLE%TAIL_DH > 0, and there will be changes
    to the MOM_parameter_doc files for some cases, but given how recently this code
    was added, it is expected that all answers are bitwise identical in the existing
    test cases.

  1. Autoconf: Find Python, even if PYTHON is empty

    The autoconf Python interpreter search was slightly modified to search
    for Python even if $PYTHON is set to an empty string.  This is done by
    unsetting PYTHON if it is set but empty, then following the usual macro.
    
    This was required since `export PYTHON` in a Makefile will create the
    `PYTHON` variable but will assign it no value (i.e. empty string).
    This causes issues in some build environments.
    
    The backup `configure~` script was also added to the developer
    `ac-clean` cleanup rule.

  2. +Refactor nominal depth in ALE code

      Refactored 6 files in the ALE directory to calculate the nominal depth in
    thickness units in a single place (it is done in regridding_main now) and pass
    it to the various places where it is used, in a preparatory step to modify how
    this calculation is done in non-Boussinesq mode.  There are new arguments to
    several publicly visible routines, including:
    
    - Add non_depth_H arguments to hybgen_regrid, build_zstar_grid,
      build_sigma_grid, build_rho_grid, build_grid_HyCOM1, build_grid_adaptive,
      build_adapt_column and build_grid_arbitrary
    
    - Add optional zScale arguments to build_zstar_grid and build_grid_HyCOM1
    
    - Add unit_scale_type arguments to regridding_main, ALE_regrid_accelerated and
      ALE_offline_inputs
    
      Also eliminated an incorrect rescaling GV%Z_to_H facto when calculating the
    total column thickness from the layer thicknesses when an ice shelf is used
    with a Hycom grid.  This would have caused dimensional consistency testing to
    fail.
    
      Added the new runtime parameters HYBGEN_H_THIN, HYBGEN_FAR_FROM_SURFACE
    HYBGEN_FAR_FROM_BOTTOM, and HYBGEN_DENSITY_EPSILON to set previously hard-coded
    dimensional parameters used in the Hybgen regridding code and store these
    values in new variables in hybgen_regrid_CS.  Two of these are no longer passed
    to hybgen_column_regrid as separate parameters.  By default these new runtime
    parameters recover the previous hard-coded values.
    
      Also eliminated an unused block of code in build_rho_column.  Several
    comments documenting variables or their units were also added.
    
      All answers are bitwise identical, but there are 4 new runtime parameters
    that would appear in some MOM_parameter_doc files and there are changes to the
    arguments to 11 routines.

  1. Add restart subroutine to MOM.F90

    As described in issue #372, I would like to be able to create restart files that
    contain information about the particle location. These files will be written at
    the same time as other restart files. I cannot add these calls directly to the
    driver, because the driver does not have information about the particle location.
    We have added save_MOM6_internal_state as a subroutine in MOM.F90, and
    we added calls to this subroutine from each of the drivers. We hope this will
    allow for more new packages to write restart files in the future.

  1. +Add tv%valid_SpV_halo to debug non-Boussinesq mode

      Added the integer valid_SpV_halo to the thermo_var_ptrs type to indicate
    whether the SpV_array has been updated and its valid halo size, to facilitate
    error detection and debugging in non-Boussinesq mode.  Tv%valid_SpV_halo is set
    to the halo size in calc_derived_thermo or after a halo update is done to
    tv%SpV_avg, and it is set to a negative value right after calls that change
    temperatures and salinities (such as by ALE remapping) unless there is a call to
    calc_derived_thermo.  Tests for the validity of tv%SpV_avg are added to the
    routines behind thickness_to_dz, with fatal errors issued if invalid arrays
    would be used, but more tests could perhaps be used in any parameterization
    routines where tv%SpV_avg is used directly.  Handling the updates to tv%SpV_avg
    this way helps to avoid unnecessary calls to calc_derived_thermo, which in turn
    has equation of state calls that can be expensive, while also providing
    essential verification of new code related to the non-Boussinesq code.  These
    tests can probably be commented out or removed for efficiency once there is a
    full suite of regression tests for the fully non-Boussinesq mode of MOM6.  In
    addition, a new optional debug argument was added to calc_derived_thermo which
    can be used to triggers checksums for the variables used to calculate
    tv%SpV_avg.  One call to calc_derived_thermo was also added just before the
    initialization call to ALE_regrid that will be needed with the next commit, but
    does not change answers yet.  All answers are bitwise identical, but there is a
    new element in a transparent and widely used type and a new optional argument to
    a public interface.

  1. (*)+Use RHO_KV_CONVERT to set nonBous GV%H_to_m

      Use RHO_KV_CONVERT instead of RHO_0 to set the non-Boussinesq version of
    GV%m_to_H, so that there is a mechanism for testing the independence of the
    fully non-Boussinesq mode from the Boussinesq reference density.  With this
    change, GV%Z_to_H is not guaranteed to be equal to (GV%Z_to_m*GV%m_to_H), with
    the latter expression preferred when setting parameters. By default the two
    parameters are the same, and they will probably only ever differ in testing the
    code.  All Boussinesq solutions are bitwise identical, but there are differences
    in the description of RHO_KV_CONVERT that will appear in MOM_parameter_doc
    files.

  1. +Add new (not yet used) arguments to 7 routines

      Add new arguments to 7 routines that will be needed for the non-Boussinesq
    capability, but do not use them yet, so that there will be fewer cross file
    dependencies as the various changes are being reviewed simultaneously.  The
    impacted interfaces are MEKE_int, vertvisc_coef, sumSWoverBands, KPP_calculate,
    differential_diffuse_T_S, set_BBL_TKE, and apply_sponge In the three
    step_MOM_dyn_... routines and in calculateBuoyancyFlux1d, this change includes
    calls to thickness_to_dz to calculate the new vertical distance arrays that will
    be passed into vertvisc_coef or sumSWoverBands.  The only place where the new
    arguments are actually used is in sumSWoverBands and set_opacity where the
    changes are particularly simple.  All answers are bitwise identical, but there
    are new non-optional arguments to seven publicly visible routines.

  1. Fms2 io read3d slice (#399)

    * Restore functionality for reading slices from 3d volumes in MOM_io
    
     - The recent MOM_io modifications in support of FMS2_io accidentally
       removed support for reading on-grid data (same horizontal grid as
       model) k-slices. This is needed in some configurations in the model
       state initialization.
    
    * Add FMS1 interfaces
    
    * Additional patches to enable reading ongrid state initialization data
    
     - read local 3d volume rather than attempting to slice ongrid
       data vertically.
    
     - Related bugfixes in MOM_io

  2. Fix logic for setting KV_ML_INVZ2 from KVML

    - We were reading KV_ML_INVZ2 without logging, then checking for KVML
      and finally logging based on a combination of the two. This had the side
      affect that we get warnings about not using KVML even if KVML was not
      present.
    - The fix checks for KVML first, and then changes the default so that
      when KVML=1e-4 is replaced by KV_ML_INVZ2=1e-4 we end up with no
      warnings and KVML can be obsoleted safely.
      Note: this commit alone does not remove all warnings from the MOM6-examples
      suite because we still need to fix the MOM_input that still use KVML
    - KVML needs to be unscaled since it is the default for KV_ML_INVZ2
    - tc3 used KVML and has been corrected.

  3. +Use RHO_PGF_REF for the pressure gradient forces

      Use the new runtime parameter RHO_PGF_REF instead of RHO_0 to set the
    reference density that is subtracted off from the other densities when
    calculating the finite volume pressure gradient forces.  Although the answers
    are mathematically equivalent for any value of this parameter, a judicious
    choice can reduce the impacts of roundoff errors by about 2 orders of
    magnitude.  By default, RHO_PGF_REF is set to RHO_0, and all answers are bitwise
    identical.  However, there is a new runtime parameter that appears in many of
    the MOM_parameter_doc.all files.

  1. Converted warning about depth_list to a note

    The message that a file is being created was issued as a WARNING
    when we all agree it should really be a NOTE. Depth_list.nc is
    read if it is present to avoid recomputing a sorted list, but the
    absence of the file is not an error and does not warrant a warning.
    
    Changes:
    - Changed WARNING to NOTE.
    - Removed MOM_mesg from imports since it wasn't being used.

  1. Correct diagnostic coordinate interpolation scheme

    The interpolation scheme for state-dependent diagnostic coordinates
    was incorrectly registering as the same parameter as the main model.
    This meant it was never possible to change the interpolation scheme
    from the default (which was not the same as the main model).
    
    Fix registers the generated parameter name which was always computed
    but not used. A typical example of the generated parameter is
    "DIAG_COORD_INTERP_SCHEME_RHO2".

  2. +(*)Fix wave_speed_init mono_N2_depth bug

      Fixed a bug in which wave_speed_init was effectively discarding any values of
    mono_N2_depth passed to it via the optional argument mono_N2_depth, but also
    changed the default value of RESOLN_N2_FILTER_DEPTH, which was previously being
    discarded, to disable the monotonization and replicate the previous results.
    There were also clarifying additions made to the description how to disable
    RESOLN_N2_FILTER_DEPTH.  This will change some entries in MOM_parameter_doc
    files, and it will change solutions in cases that set RESOLN_N2_FILTER_DEPTH to
    a non-default value and have parameter settings that use the resolution function
    to scale their horizontal mixing.  There are, however, no known active
    simulations where the answers are expected to change.

  3. *+Revise non-Boussinesq gprime expressions

      Revised the calculation of gprime and the coordinate densities (GV%Rlay) in
    fully non-Boussinesq mode to use the arithmetic mean of adjacent coordinate
    densities in the denominator of the expression for g_prime in place of RHO_0.
    Also use LIGHTEST_DENSITY in place of RHO_0 to specify the top-level coordinate
    density in certain coordinate modes.  Also made corresponding changes to the
    fully non-Boussinesq APE calculation when CALCULATE_APE is true, and eliminated
    an incorrect calculation of the layer volumes in non-Boussinesq mode using the
    Boussinesq reference density that was never actually being used when
    CALCULATE_APE is false.
    
      This commit will change answers in some fully non-Boussinesq calculations, and
    an existing runtime parameter is used and logged in some new cases, changing
    the MOM_parameter_doc file in those cases.

  1. *Non-Boussinesq revision of MOM_thickness_diffuse

      Refactored thickness_diffuse when in non-Boussinesq mode to avoid any
    dependencies on the Boussinesq reference density, and to translate the volume
    streamfunction into the mass streamfunction using an appropriately defined
    in-situ density averaged to the interfaces at velocity points.  This form
    follows the suggestions of Appendix A.3.2 of Griffies and Greatbatch (Ocean
    Modelling, 2012) when in non-Boussinesq mode.  Thickness_diffuse_full was also
    revised to work properly in non-Boussinesq mode (and not depend on the
    Boussinesq reference density) when no equation of state is used.
    
      As a part of these changes, the code now uses thickness-based streamfunctions
    and other thickness-based internal calculations in MOM_thickness_diffuse.  For
    example, the overturning streamfunctions with this change are now in m3/s in
    Boussinesq mode, but kg/s in non-Boussinesq mode.  These changes use a call to
    thickness_to_dz to set up a separate variable with the vertical distance across
    layers, and in non-Boussinesq mode they use tv%SpV_avg to estimate in situ
    densities.  Additional debugging checksums were added to thickness_diffuse.
    
      The code changes are extensive with 15 new or renamed internal variables, and
    changes to the units of 9 other internal variables and 3 arguments to the
    private routine streamfn_solver.  After this change, GV%Rho, GV%Z_to_H and
    GV%H_to_Z are no longer used in any non-Boussinesq calculations (12 such
    instances having been elimated).  Because some calculations have to be redone
    with the separate thickness and dz variables, this will be more expensive than
    the original version.
    
      No public interfaces are changed, and all answers are bitwise identical in
    Boussinesq or semiBoussinesq mode, but they will change in non-Boussinesq mode
    when the isopycnal height diffusion parameterization is used.
