hello all,<br>
<br>
we've just updated the Manhattan release and made minor<br>
changes to the Classic release. see below for details.<br>
<br>
some advice on versions of DART:<br>
<br>
if you're using Lanai and are happy, stick with it. if you need<br>
new functionality and are willing to make some changes to your<br>
workflow and namelists, take a look to see if your model is<br>
supported in the Manhattan release. check this web page:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.image.ucar.edu/DAReS/DART/Manhattan/documentation/html/Manhattan_release.html#SupportedModels">http://www.image.ucar.edu/DAReS/DART/Manhattan/documentation/html/Manhattan_release.html#SupportedModels</a><br>
<br>
to see which models we support with Manhattan, as well as the<br>
rest of the release notes.<br>
<br>
if you're using Lanai and we've told you that a bug fix is in
Classic,<br>
you can update to classic. it should be almost completely backwards<br>
compatible with Lanai.<br>
<br>
now the details of the changes committed today.<br>
<br>
changes in Manhattan:<br>
<br>
- Fixed a bad URL reference in tutorial section 18<br>
<br>
- Fixed a crash in the 1D version of the observation diagnostics
program<br>
(obs_diag) for identity observations<br>
<br>
- All models with a workshop_setup.csh now build the same set of
programs.<br>
(some/most did not build obs_diag - which is used in the
tutorial)<br>
<br>
- Added a 1D obs-to-a-power forward operator.<br>
<br>
- Updated the matlab plotting routines for NetCDF observation
formats<br>
<br>
- World Ocean Database (WOD) obs converter supports partial year
conversions<br>
and WOD 2013 file formats.<br>
<br>
- Fix for CAM CESM 1.2.1 scripts if there is more than a single
SourceMod<br>
file in a directory.<br>
<br>
<br>
changes in Classic:<br>
<br>
- Added AVISO observation converter. <br>
<br>

<br>
- Fixed some misleading error messages in the obs_sequence_tool.<br>
<br>
- Improved error messages when the wrong string or observation type
is<br>
read from an observation sequence file.<br>
<br>

electron density observations. <br>
