Author : L. Debreu, P. Marchesiello, G. Cambon, P. Penven
Category : Release v2.1, for more informations, see documentation
Description: This is the latest official ROMS_AGRIF release.


• AGRIF 2 way nesting with a full barotropic-baroclinic 2-way nesting.
• AGRIF allows MPI parallelization of nesting, in addition to added flexibility and portability. In particular AGRIF executable conv (for generation of nested code) is auto-configured and amr.in is now transparent to ROMS developments (AGRIF manages the include files and variables to be interpolated).
• New RSUP3 advection/diffusion schemes for tracers to reduce diapycnal diffusion along slopes.
• Online diagnostics are added for tracers and momentum equations
• New fields in outputs files: zonal and meridional wind stresses, wind speed, heat fluxes.
• New bulk formulae for heat fluxes and wind stresses calculation (Fairall, 1996)
• New biology models : NchlPZD, N2ChlPZD2, N2P2Z2D2
• New biogeochemical models : PISCES
• New parallelization optimization procesure : autotiling
