     2354turbulence recycling method of Kataoka and Mizuno (2002) has been
     2355implemented. A precursor run must be used to initialize the main run
     2356with a quasi-stationary turbulence state (see <span style="font-family: monospace;">initializing_actions</span> = <span style="font-style: italic;">'read_data_for_recycling'</span>).
     2357The precursor run may have a smaller domain than the main run, which
     2358helps to spare CPU time. New parameters for steering the recycling
     2359method are <span style="font-family: monospace;">turbulent_inflow</span>, <span style="font-family: monospace;">recycling_width</span>, <span style="font-family: monospace;">inflow_damping_height</span>, and <span style="font-family: monospace;">inflow_damping_width</span>.<br><br>One
     2360new feature related with the recycling method is that within a job
     2361chain, the number of processors or the virtual processor grid is now
     2362allowed to&nbsp;change. Such a change modifies the domain decomposition
     2363and requires that the PEs within a restart job have to know from which
     2364file(s) they have to read their restart data (up to now there has been
     2365a one to one relation between the restart files and the PEs, i.e.
     2366processor 4 only reads data from file "_0004"). Informations about the
     2367subdomain index limits of all restart files are now written by PE0 (to
     2368file "_0000"). Also, all variables containing global values which do
     2369not depend on the subdomain are written to file "_0000" only. In a
     2370restart run, this file is opened by all PEs to read these global values
     2371and the informations about the subdomain index limits. Depending on
     2372these index limit information it is decided which restart file(s)
     2373has/have to be opened in order to read the complete data necessary for
     2374the current subdomain.<br><br>The plant canopy model has been extended
     2375to the prognostic equation for&nbsp;the potential temperature
     2376and&nbsp;passive scalar, as proposed by Watanabe (2004) and Shaw and
     2377Schumann (1992).<br><br>Particle advection adjusted for ocean runs.<br><br>Grid

     2391changed when the final communicator was defined, in order to save the
     2392preliminary processor-id for opening the binary output file for
     2393restarts (unit 14), because otherwise a mismatch occured when reading
     2394this file in a restart job. This mechanism is not needed any more since

     2398in the 3D loops in some of the transpose routines have been rearranged
     2399for better cache utilization. Both have been suggested by Roland

     2406modification of the calculation of the vertical turbulent momentum
     2407fluxes u'w' and v'w'; the first usws that is computed corresponds to
     2408-u'w'/u* and not as priorily assumed to (-u'w')**0.5, the first vsws
     2409that is computed corresponds to -v'w'/u* and not as priorily assumed to
     2410(-v'w')**0.5. Therefore, the intermediate result for usws has to be
     2411multiplied by -u* instead by itself in order to get u'w'. Accordingly,
     2412the intermediate result for vsws has to be multiplied by -u* instead by
     2413itself in order to get v'w'. As u* is calculated for the position of a
     2414scalar an additional interpolation of u* to the position of u and v,
     2415respectively, is necessary. As u* is not determined for the ghost
     2416points on each PE, an additional exchange of information from
     2417neighbouring PEs is necessary. Tests showed that this
     2418decreases u* by some 10% and increases TKE and momentum fluxes by some
     241910% because friction was underestimated and momentum fluxes were
