Updates to forward model
Bug fixes in forward model
Fix SE Asia NH3 seasonality (v33e)
The bug fix from the forward model fixing the seasonality of the NH3 emissions over SE Asia has also been applied.

Updates to adjoint model
Add TES O3 IRK (v33a)
Implemented observation operator for assimilation of TES O3 IRKs.
See benchmark results 33a_001

Bug fixes in adjoint model
Fix wet deposition adjoint (v33b)
The adjoint was not properly handling evaporation. This fix helps make the adjoint of species such as NH3 better in a few locations where adjoints were diverging from forward model sensitivities by up to 50%.
See benchmark results 33a_002 vs 33b_002
--Daven 12:51, 20 April 2012 (EDT)
Fix checkpointing of aircraft SO2 emissions (v33c)
The SO2 aircraft emissions are distributed in the model based on a mapping from the 20 level inventory to the GEOS-Chem levels. This mapping depends upon the air masses in the models. The emissions are read in during the first hour of the month in the forward model, but on the last hour of the month in the adjoint. Thus they were being calculated inconsistently in the adjoint compared to the forward model. We now checkpoint these emissions rather than recalculate them
See benchmark results 33c_001 - 33c_004

Fix linoz adjoint (v33d)
While the linoz routine is linear, and should be self-adjoint, it isn't exactly self-adjoint. For example, given initial forcings of STT_ADJ = 0d0 in every grid cell, it can generate non-zero values of STT_ADJ as output, which is incorrect.
In this update we use the discrete adjoint based upon reformulating the code to be consistent with the strat chem routine for the non-Ox species.
See benchmark results 33d_001 - 33c_007

Adjoint stability update (v33e)
Several fixes were made to increase the numerical stability of the code
- Change the filter to 1d-10 in partition_adj.f
- Better error trapping in gckpp_adj_Integrator.f90 to prevent NaNs following a failed integration step during the adjoint
A few other small changes to improve performance were included in this update. Overall, the benchmark performance is not impacted by these update, see 33e_001
