[Ncep.list.nems.announce] Planned commit to NEMS trunk (ticket #41 NUOPC/OCN)

[Gerhard Theurich]

Hi,

The next set of changes for NUOPC/OCN integration into NEMS (ticket #41) 
are ready to be committed. All of the code changes are contained within 
the "#ifdef WITH_NUOPC" sections of the NEMS code - no code has changed 
outside of these NUOPC sections.

The proposed changes, together with default regression run outputs are 
located on Zeus:
/home/Gerhard.Theurich/NEMS.trunk29936-working

The major changes contained in this change set are:

(1) Implementation of coupling between ATM and OCN components under 
NUOPC. This was accomplished by adding Connectors between ATM and OCN in 
the EARTH component.

(2) Make ATM layer support stepable atmosphere implementations, i.e. the 
Run() method is callable multiple times, each time stepping forward one 
coupling interval. The GFS/GSM component has been made stepable in the 
NUOPC mode.

(3) The "nems.configure" file is now the exclusive configure file being 
used under NUOPC mode ("atmos.configure" is ignored in NUOPC mode). The 
"ocean.configure" dependency was removed since it was unused and now is 
superseded by the unified "nems.configure" file.
