• GOKURAKU dcpam4 is created.
• Pages of RAKURAKU dcpam4 is created. (Contents are under construction).
• Initial data is output to history data.
• Weight for integration is output.
• Depended gt4f90io version is changed to "20071009".
• Aqua planet experiments can be performed. How-to is not prepared yet, but will be prepared in GOKURAKU dcpam4.
• Aqua planet experiment module phy_ape is imported from dcpam3. Following modules needed by this module are imported from dcpam3, too.
  • Operation for integral and average module intavr_operate
  • Sea surface temperature (SST), and various values on surface configuration module phy_ground
  • Temperature, pressure, and geo-potential on half level interpolation module phy_interpolate
  • Negative moisture elimination module phy_neg_moist
  • Cumulus parameterization (Convective adjustment scheme) module phy_cumulus_adjust

  • History data of "xyr_SigmaDot", "xy_DPiDt" can be output.
• Spline curve data generation module spline_data is created.
• initial_data is modified.
  • Mean value of temperature, surface pressure, specific humidity can be configured.
• dcpam4 Credits is changed to Precautionary statement and Licence terms.
• dcmodel_f90sample_maker.rb is modified.
  • History data can be output.
  • Test programs are modified.
  • Error that is occurred when a module name is same as argument keywords is removed. (It is no problem for a module name same as argument keywords).
