History of FOAM 1.5 development

Notable events in FOAM 1.5

FOAM 1.5 was finalized on February 11, 2002.

Internally, the first version of FOAM1.5 was FOAM 1.5.8.

All version of FOAM 1.5 after version 1.5.8 produce bit-for-bit identical answers for a standard case

The simulations produced for a standard case, defined as:

  • fully coupled
  • restart run
  • default (modern) values of orbital forcing and gas constants.

are identical (bit-for-bit) for all FOAM versions after 1.5.8.

Beginning with 1.5.8, FOAM was developed and distributed with a multi-directory source code structure. The last single-directory version of FOAM is equivalent to 1.5.8.

Other events:

  • 1.5.20 - Data atmosphere capability added
  • 1.5.32 - NetCDF output from coupler and ocean.
  • 1.5.40 - NetCDF input by atmosphere.
  • 1.5.41 - NetCDF output from atmosphere.
  • 1.5.43 - Switch between initial/restart runs without recompiling.
  • 1.5.44 - Ability to do an initial run without a coupler restart file.

Answer changes for non-standard cases

  • 1.5.12 - Sea ice bug fixed for slab ocean experiments with fixed SST
  • 1.5.50 - Sea ice initial temperature bug (in initial run) fixed.

Changes to history output

  • 1.5.16 - Atmosphere history changed to add Z, VT, VZ, VQ, VVPUU, ALB, ALBCR, and PSL to default output. Remove CMFLQ, CMFSL, DQP, EFFCLD and TA01 from default output (still available as optional output).
  • 1.5.18 - Ocean history output changed so avheat and avsalt includes sea-ice formation. Also change coupler history output so only positive meltp is recorded.
  • 1.5.27 - Atmosphere output changed to add FSNTOA, FSNTOAC, LWCF, SWCF, FLUT, FLUTC, FSDS and FSDSC to default output. Also output RELHUM, PRECSL, and PRECSC by default. Change definition of FLNTC and FSNTC.
  • 1.5.30 - optionally output atmosphere heat/momentum budget variables UQ, UT, UU, UV, UW, VW, VV, WQ, WT, and WW

Guide to Table

This table describes in brief what is different between versions of FOAM 1.5.

The strings under "Version" are CVS tags. They correspond simply to version numbers: F1_5_6 = FOAM 1.5.6.

You can find your version by looking for the CVS tag on the bottom of the README.FOAM file.

Beginning with FOAM 1.5.15, the main components of FOAM which are available as separate modules were tagged separately.
The equivalent tags are indicated in the Description.

Beginning with FOAM 1.5.46, a branch was created for FOAM1.5 and the tags are slightly different: bpF15_F1_5_49 = FOAM 1.5.49
