CVMix module
CVMix is now included GOTM, bringing more options of turbulence closures including KPP and its variants with Langmuir turbulence.
Stokes drift
A new Stokes drift module is added. This allows input of Stokes drift and exploration of Langmuir turbulence parameterizations and more in GOTM.
Numerical in-stabillities in the BBL
Instabilities in the BBL for the FLEX setup at high vertical resolution.
... now with ice ...
Version 5.4 of GOTM will contain a feature preview of ice modelling using STIM. Additional work will have to go into the development - but the coupled GOTM/STIM system does produce results that resembles reality.
Kondo - what was wrong
The file - kondo.F90 - is one of the oldest and least changed in the GOTM repository. And still - it had issues.
EditScenario and friends
Updated status on September 13. 2019. Updated status on EditScenario and friends. Jorn has an Python3 only laptop. It made an incentive to update some of the tools making it easier to handle GOTM.
Check NetCDF library availability
By far the most frequent issue arising when people want to build GOTM is NetCDF. We have included a small script that can be used to test if NetCDF requirements are fulfilled.
Towards GOTM 5.4
Version 5.4 of GOTM contains a number of changes making the normal release method un-suitable. The new version contains a mixture of under the hood compile configuration changes, use of Git sub-modules, new run time configuration method and new features.
Modern CMake and sub-modules
We have re-written the CMake configuration file(s) to be in line with principles of Modern CMake. In addition - using these principles - we have moved code pieces not part of essential GOTM out into individual projects.
