The CPP option defining a particular application can now be specified in either header file cppdefs.h or the makefile. If defined in the makefile, all the applications definition in cppdefs.h must be commented out with an ! (exclamation mark) in column 1. For example, to activate the upwelling application (UPWELLING) in the makefile, set:

ROMS_APPLICATION := UPWELLING

Otherwise, leave the ROMS_APPLICATION macro blank

ROMS_APPLICATION := 

and uncomment the appropriate application in cppdefs.h.

Some users may prefer to specify the application in the makefile and never to change header file cppdefs.h. Recall that now there is a specific header file for each application (see this post).

We started the process of releasing the long awaited ROMS/TOMS new version:

• We have been working on the copyright and other legal aspects of ROMS/TOMS for awhile. The new version will now be distributed with the following copyright:

  Copyright (c) 2002-2007 The ROMS/TOMS Group
  Licensed under a MIT/X style license
  See License_ROMS.txt

  Many thanks to Chris Sherwood and Rich Signell (USGS) for their help with the copyright and open source license.

• ROMS/TOMS will be distributed primarily using subversion version control (svn). In the future the user will be able to download the latest version of the model and/or frozen version(s) from our new server by just typing a single UNIX command, like:

  svn checkout https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/trunk MyLocalDir

  or using any GUI interface like esvn (Unix), RapidSVN (cross-platform) or TortoiseSVN (Windows).

  The ROMS svn project managment and bug/issue tracking system is:

  www.myroms.org/projects/src

  The new ROMS sever hosting www.myroms.org will be open to the community in few days. We are currently migrating all services and testing. The new server is a Linux quad completely dedicated to ROMS business: web sites, svn and trac, wikiROMS, developers blog, and forum.

• All files were modified to include the copyright and license notice. I also added the svn keyword id. For example, get_state.F looks like:

  
  #include "cppdefs.h"
        SUBROUTINE get_state (ng, model, msg, ncname, IniRec, Tindex)
  !
  !svn $Id: get_state.F 8 2007-02-06 19:00:29Z arango $

• Converted distribute.F into a module to allow module procedure interface to distinguish scalar and vector operations:

  
       INTERFACE mp_bcastf
          MODULE PROCEDURE mp_bcastf_s
          MODULE PROCEDURE mp_bcastf_v
        END INTERFACE mp_bcastf
    

  This fixes a problem with Absoft Pro Fortran10 compilers. Many thanks to Brian Powell for reporting this.

• Fixed few bugs in several drivers that have risen during the compilation of all of then.
• This new version was committed into svn and frozen as ROMS/TOMS 2.3 in the tags directory. The Version file is:
