Ticket, Documentation and Code comments

Note that the changes are not fully in keeping with the Coding standards, this is due to use of the GOTO function in TOOLS/SECTIONS_DIADCT/src/sections_tools.f90 As this piece of code is outside of the NEMO src code itself it is felt that the code can be accepted into the trunk, with the aim of removing use of the GOTO function at a later date.

The code was also tested to ensure specification of the section as being from point a to point b, or from point b to point a had no effect on results.

Code Review

Do the code changes comply with NEMO coding standards?NO
Are code changes consistent with the design of NEMO?YES
Is the code free of unwanted TABs?YES
Has the code been wholly (100%) produced by NEMO developers working on NEMO?YES
If no, ensure collaboration agreement has been added to the ticket keywords

See above comment regarding coding standards.

Review Summary

The code is well documented, with useful and clear comments throughout the code. It has been thoroughly tested and is a stand alone piece of code which not only has no impact on the code when switched off, but as it affects diagnostics only it also has no impact on model results when the option is activated. As such it seems suitable for inclusion in the next release.

Approval for the trunk

YES

The code reviewer may approve the change for the NEMO trunk when:

  1. their requests/comments have been addressed satisfactorily.
  2. the above check-list has been completed.
