- FMS2_IO: A unit test was added to test the functionality of
get_valid
andis_valid
- The autotools build has been changed to copy each subdirectory module (.mod) files to a common .mod directory located at the top of the source directory. This change simplifies the include path specifications.
- Use F90 module files for external libraries (MPI and NetCDF) for improved interface checking, thereby removing the reliance on library header include files.

- 2020.04-beta1 (6d3ac620423e7ede412e4bb1b36c338775d95193)
- FMS2_IO: Adds header_buffer_val to the fms2io namelist which sets the netcdf header size in bytes. The default value is 16kb
- FMS2_IO: Adds netcdf_default_format to the fms2io namelist which allows the user to change the netcdf file type. The default value is 64bit.
- FMS2_IO: Adds support to read netcdf string global attributes

dont_add_res_to_filename
, which indicates that the filename should not be modified (default adds .res to restart file name) - FMS2_IO: Modifies the
register_variable_attribute
andregister_global_attribute
interfaces by adding str_len as an argument. This is a workaround to get fms2io to work with PGI because they don't support class () with len=. - FMS2_IO: Adds unit test that tests
write_data
andread_data
when using a domain with a mask table - FMS2_IO: Adds fms2io’s version of get_mosaic_tile_grid
- MPP_IO: Adds
-Duse_mpp_io
compile option for data_override, interpolator, amip_interp, diag_manager, topography, and xgrid to select using mpp_io instead of fms2_io - MPP_INIT: Adds unit tests for routines/functions that are called in mpp_init
- CMAKE: A cmake build system has been added with a CI build using cmake

- 2020.03-alpha1 (2dd30b7ca0ac75a4a38b969e4a6d446eb395b4dd)
- FMS2_IO: An fms2_io_nml namelist has been created. It includes the variable ncchksz. This is the replacement for the environment variable NC_BLKSZ set in model run scripts and used by mpp_io. The default value is 64 KB. Any time a file is opened in fms2_io (nf90_open or nf90_create), the optional argument
chunksize=ncchksz
is passed to the NetCDF library. NetCDF attempts to use this value to control the blocksize utilized for reads and writes of data from the filesystem. - FMS2_IO: Adds support to
compute_global_cheksum.inc
forreal32
, assuming the flag-DOVERLOAD_R4
is used when compiling.
- MPP_DOMAINS - nesting: The logic supporting nested domains for mosaic grids has been overhauled and extended. FMS now supports multiple nests and telescoping nests (nest embedded within a nest). The requirement for a nest to lie wholly within a single tile has been relaxed and a first-level nest may cross tile boundaries, but may not contain a tile corner. Communications for two-way nesting have also been improved. The 2019 December Public Release and 2020.02 GFDL Release within the [GFDL_atmos_cubed_sphere] (https://github.com/NOAA-GFDL/GFDL_atmos_cubed_sphere) have been updated and are compatible with this release of FMS.
- FMS2_IO: The intent of fileobj is changed from (in) to (inout) in netcdf_restore_state_wrap, restore_domain_state, and netcdf_restore_state because the file object type has a pointer that is being reassigned in one of the routines lower in the call stack.
- MPP_DOMAINS - nesting: The initial nesting implementation is no longer supported. Please see the Changed::MPP_DOMAINS sub-entry under.
- GENERAL: References to the macro _ALLOCATABLE have been replaced with “allocatable”, _ALLOCATED has been replaced with “allocated”, and _NULL has been removed. It is now assumed that all compilers support the Fortran 2003 standard. The macros still exist in fms_platforms.h for compatibility within other components.
- DIAG_MANAGER: “fms_platform.h” is no longer included in any of the diag_manager routines. Instead, fms_platform_mod is now being use-associated where necessary. This fixes an issue for debuggers not providing correct line numbers.

- Adds the modules
axis_utils2

, andtime_interp_external2
that usefms2_io
- Adds unit tests for thread affinity in test_fms/affinity
- Autotools unit tests are now run with
srun, mpirun
, oraprun
(whichever is present on your system) fms2_io
provides three new derived types, which target the different I/O paradigms used in GFDL GCMs:- type(FmsNetcdfFile_t) - This type provides a thin wrapper over the netCDF4 library, but allows the user to assign a “pelist” to the file. If a pelist is assigned, only the first rank on the list directly interacts with the netCDF library, and performs broadcasts to relay the information to the rest of the ranks on the list. This derived type also allows the user to perform “compressed” reads/writes and restart variable “registration” (i.e. the ability to store pointers to user-defined/allocated buffers) and reads/writes in a manner similar to the existing calls in fms_io.
- type(FmsNetcdfUnstructuredDomainFile_t) - This type extends the FmsNetcdfFile_t type to support “domain-decomposed” reads/writes on a user defined mpp_domains unstructured grid. Users are required to inform the FMS2_io module which dimensions correspond to the unstructured grid using the appropriate
register_axis
call before any domain-decomposed reads/writes can be performed. - type(FmsNetcdfDomainFile_t) - This type extends the FmsNetcdfFile_t type to support “domain-decomposed” reads/writes on a user-defined
mpp_domains
two-dimensional lon-lat or cubed-sphere grid. Users are required to inform thefms2_io
module which dimensions (‘x’ or ‘y’) correspond to the two-dimensional grid using the appropriateregister_axis
calls before any domain-decomposed reads/writes can be performed.
fms2_io
requires the user to manage objects of the types described above. Calls toopen_file
(close_file
) act as constructors (destructors) for each of the objects, and must be explicitly made by the user. Each object must be constructed before any I/O can be performed. Examples describing how to use these new types are available in test_fms/fms2_iofms2_io
treats _FillValue attributes as valid_max or valid_min range specifiers if none of valid_range, valid_min, and valid_max are specified as described in these netcdf conventions
- The
diag_manager
IO is handled by fms2_io instead of mpp_io. Default behavior assumes that the mpp_io namelist variable is set to cf_compliant = .true. - The user must specify the diagnostic attributes that they want to write to the output files. Example: If there is no units attribute, then the variable metadata will not include units, and it will not automatically add units = “none”.
- Calls to
register_diag_axis
for an X or Y axis that is shifted from the CENTER position need to include the optional argument domain_position and should be equal to EAST or NORTH based on the position relative to the domain. EAST and NORTH are exposed throughdiag_manager_mod
. - Changed the handling of average_T and time_bnds variables so that they are set to values that are sent in and are not manipulated as was the case in mpp_io.
interpolator
,xgrid
,data_override
, andamip_interp
now callfms2_io
routines- Support for enabling/disabling quad-precision (used in certain calculations) has been changed to a hard on/off switch. Default behavior is quad-precision disabled. To enable, add the following CPP macro -DENABLE_QUAD_PRECISION. This change was necessary to remove guessing at the proper setting via a mix of compiler vendor and system-defined environment variables which resulted in different behaviors on machines unbeknownst to the user.
- fms2_io does NOT use the scale_factor, add_offset, or other attributes to manipulate the data. The variable/data is returned to the caller as it appears in the file. All post-read data manipulations should be handled by the caller.
- Removes the use of bats when running unit tests
- 2020.01-alpha1 (09dc8e9e0f1c852e9e9190834176d16943cd3729)
