ChangeLog Entry

In src/Applications/GEOSgcm_App/ChangeLog:

==========================================================================
23Jan2019, Takacs,    CVS Tag: Jason-1_1 (non-zero diff to Jason-1_0_BETA)
                       Module: GEOSagcm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) An error was found related to GOCART and TR regarding the TR and GOCART IMPORT restarts.
This error was introduced going from Icarus-1_0_p1 to Icarus-2_0 with the splitting of GOCART into
RUN1 and RUN2 methods.  Essentially, the ordering in PHYSICS is:  SURF,CHEM,TURB RUN1, followd by
SURF,TURB,CHEM RUN2.  Emissions are computed in CHEM RUN1 based on LWI locations.  However, LWI
is not computed until SURF RUN2.  Therefore, LWI is required on the GOCART IMPORT.  But this variable
was labeled as RESTART_SKIP.  The TR IMPORT did contain LWI, thus when TR was Enabled, GOCART saw
the proper LWI.  But when TR was Disabled, LWI was no longer available for GOCART, and resulted in 
non-zero differences.  The quick solution was to label LWI as non-skip on the GOCART IMPORT restart.

2) An error was found related to the TH_for_CHEM within the SYNC-TQ sequence.  The error was fixed, but
experiments showed negligible impact due to its second-order influence.

3) Modifications to the STATS plotting package to include Mean-Square-Error decompostion.

Restart Changes: YES (but bootstrappable)
                 GOCART IMPORT was modified by adding LWI and FRACI to be non-skip
                 TR     IMPORT was modified by removing ALL but CLDTT (from RAD), since TR is run after SURF RUN(1,2)
                 Note:  When TR adopts a 2-phase approach, additional IMPORT variables from SURF will need to be included.

==========================================================================
17Sep2018, Takacs,    CVS Tag: Jason-1_0_BETA (zero diff to Jason-gitintegration from SI Team)
                       Module: GEOSagcm       (non-zero diff to Icarus-3_4_ESMF7)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Saltwater split => openwater and seaicethermo. 
   This means saltwater_internal is now two files: openwater_internal and seaicethermo_internal. saltwater_import remains.
   Regridding utility (regrid.pl) will always produce the split ocean with this tag.  You can, however, provide the single
   saltwater_internal as input.
2) Sponge Layer fix in FV3 to include damping between top model layer and bottom of sponge.
3) Regridding in MAPL now done in a new abstract/OO paradigm
   This leads to the new grid definitions in AGCM.rc
4) New HISTORY.rc grid_label definitions.  This HISTORY is designated as VERSION: 1
   Older HISTORY files (using resolution attribute) will still work provided VERSION = 0.
5) QUICKPLOT updates to produce automated "closeness" plots.

Restart Changes: Saltwater_internal ==> openwater_internal & seaicethermo_internal

   Note: 983.05 mb is very similar to value based on ERA-Interim data.
9) Modified GEOS_TurbulenceGridComp.F90 with more REAL*8 code to improve Dry-Mass Conservation
10) Due to updated FVCORE, GWD BGSTRESSMAX Default changed from 1.2 to 0.9 for 72-levels (Note: 132-levels probably requires re-tuning).

NOTE:  Regular REPLAY to itself FAILS under certain Predictor/Corrector configurations.
      (Reason UNKNOWN)  P3_C6 and P0_C1 seem to work properly.

Restart Changes: YES
                 RRTMG requires new solar_internal restart.
                 Simply delete old restart, and bootstrap new RRTMG restart.
