CLM3.5 Release

Requirements

• Off-line only
• Limited support, not support for porting to new platforms
• NOT supported on IRIX (such as tempest) or Linux with Pathscale compiler
• Will include CN, CASA', dust, DGVM – but NOT supported – contact relevent folks
• Will include RTM – fully supported in the same sense of other options
• Dust may or may not work – that's OK
• Spun-up initial conditions for T42 64x128 (no other resolutions) for offline (NOT for CN, DGVM, or CASA')
• Surface dataset for standard offline but NOT CN (contact Peter)
• Standard PFT dataset – contact Sam to get modified pft-phisiology for use with DGVM
• No update to documentation except in README and support_level, caveat text files
• Expect to release and announce release in the first week of May
• Include one year of NCEP atm forcing from Qian (Dec/2003-Feb/2004) – but also provide info on how to get from MSS

  Machines known to work on: (NOT providing support for problems even here)

• bluevista.ucar.edu
• blueice.ucar.edu
• bangkok.cgd.ucar.edu: Lahey lf95 compiler
• bangkok.cgd.ucar.edu: PGI pgf90 compiler

  Things won't fix:

• Testing: (test-suite working on)
  • lightning (not required)
  • jaguar (not required)
  • phoenix (not required)
  • CCSM testing (CCSM testing can't be completed because of timing library change)

    Things NOT required:

• Get test_suite working on lightning, jaguar and phoenix (NOT required)
• Improve test-suite for dynamic-land-use, DGVM and CN more resolutions and configurations (NOT required)
• Fix irad/dtime consistency problem on restart? NO!!!!
• TwoStream floating point problem fix? NO!!!
• Address Leap-year issue? NO!!!!
• mksurfdata consistency check not working.
• mksurfdata testing with test dataset with known answer – not done.
• Log of soil texture changes for mksurfdata looks strange for input vs. output (it isn't normalized to land-fraction).
