Message-ID: <56B30CE4.3090203@lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp>

Dear colleagues,

the latest count of peer-reviewed publications that use or describe 
SICOPOLIS stands at 85 <http://www.sicopolis.net/publ/>. If you are 
aware of any new or old papers missing in the list, please let me know.

Thanks & best regards

Subject: [SICOPOLIS:45] Domain XYZ
Message-ID: <56CBC56E.1000107@lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp>

Dear colleagues,

there has been some well-justified criticism that SICOPOLIS is too 
"static", in the sense that it is cumbersome to implement a new domain 
(Laurentide ice sheet, simple testing geometry etc.) or make major 
changes to an existing one.

In response to this, I have implemented a new domain option "XYZ". This 
happened in revisions 647-650 <http://tinyurl.com/commit-logs-sico>. The 
directory sicopolis/src/subroutines/xyz, which hosts the domain-specific 
subroutines, is by default empty. If you want to create a new domain, 
copy the subroutines from the most similar existing domain (northern 
hemisphere, EISMINT etc.), e.g.:

   cp ~/sicopolis/src/subroutines/nhem/*.F90 \
      ~/sicopolis/src/subroutines/xyz/

Then modify the routines according to your needs. Input files 
(topography etc.) must be placed in sicopolis/sico_in/xyz and specified 
in the run-specification header file *.h as usual. The domain must be 
defined by '#define XYZ' in the header file. If the new domain requires 
new global variables, they can be added at the end of the sico_variables 
module (sicopolis/src/subroutines/general/sico_variables.F90), within 
the '#if (defined(XYZ))' block.

On that occasion, I have deleted ISMIP HEINO as an own domain. However, 
the subroutines are still available in 
sicopolis/src/subroutines/xyz/heino, and the input files are in 
sicopolis/sico_in/xyz. If you copy the subroutines from 
sicopolis/src/subroutines/xyz/heino to sicopolis/src/subroutines/xyz, 
you can still run ISMIP HEINO experiments. As before, a header file for 
the standard run ST is available in sicopolis/runs/headers/templates.

I hope you'll find the new feature useful! Of course, please let me know 
if anything is unclear or doesn't work.

Best regards

Ralf

Subject: [SICOPOLIS:46] Domain XYZ: Update
Message-ID: <56CC0315.5000308@lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp>

Dear colleagues,

just a small update to what I wrote before:

With revision 652, I changed the way how domain-specific global 
variables are handled. Rather than in sico_variables.F90, they are now 
defined in domain-specific files called sico_vars.F90. So, global 
variables for the new XYZ domain can now conveniently be defined in 
sicopolis/src/subroutines/xyz/sico_vars.F90, thus eliminating the need 
to manipulate (and potentially mess up) the crucial sico_variables 
module itself.

Best regards,

Ralf
