MM5 Version 2 Release 2-5 (June 24 1997)
Dear MM5 (V2) users,
This email is regarding the MM5 V2 model's newest release: release-2-5.
This release comprises of a few bug fixes, a new mm5.deck for using
Cray f90 compiler options, and new switches for using dynamic initialization
with 4DDA, among other changes.
The detailed changes are described in the CHANGES file in the top
directory of the new tar file. The new tar file can be obtained
from several locations, including NCAR's MSS and anonymous ftp.
To accomodate the move from cf77 to f90, the Cray batch mm5 deck
is modified to enable a user to use both compilers. The new deck,
mm5.deck, can be obtained from various mesouser directories. More
information on using f90 compiler is available from
http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/mm5/mm5v2-f90.html
The CHANGES file separates changes into bug fixes (which you definitely
want to include in your files), new features and changes (for which
you can make a decision as whether you include them in your copy
of the code). In addition to this description, the actual changes
are provided in a diff file: diff.24JUN97, in directory ReleaseNotes/.
A user should have enough information from these two files to make
corresponding changes to your own files.
If you don't want to get a new tar file, files CHANGES, and diff.24JUN97
can be found from anonymous ftp under /mesouser/MM5V2/MM5, and on
paiute/ouray under ~mesouser/MM5V2/MM5 and /fs/orthrorgs/home0/mesouser/MM5V2/MM5.
They are also accessible from the Web site:
http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/mm5/mm5v2-chg.html
*** Note: IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO YOUR TAR FILE (including
file structure and source code), YOU SHOULD SAVE YOUR configure.user
FILE and/or mm5.deck, and GET
A NEW TAR FILE. Please be aware that there are changes in the deck
in this release (e.g. new switches).
If you use NCAR's Cray, the default tar file you get from MSS will
be changed to release-2-5 as of this morning, June 24 1997. If you
would like to use any previous releases, you can change the MSS
read statement from
msread mm5v2.tar /MESOUSER/MM5V2/MM5/MM5V2.TAR
to
msread mm5v2.tar /MESOUSER/MM5V2/MM5/MM5V2.TAR.release-2-4
and so on.
CVS versions of previous MM5 V2 releases (release 2-0 through 2-4)
are currently available from NCAR/SCD's meeker (meeker.ucar.edu).
The new release-2-5 will be available in the next few days.
Information on how to make use it can be obtained from the Web page:
http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/mm5/cvs.html
This provides users with a way to automatically update your code
with our release if users choose to use CVS.
