history:<br>
2007.11.23: WINIT=0.2.<br>
2007.11.21: JMA GPV/GSM system upgraded since 2007.11.21. Change to use mkinit_gpvgsm2.<br>
2007.07.30: find bug in output interval of rain for nicam-japan exp. between
2007/07/20-29: fix output interval to 6h from 0.6h, and trying to re-run these
exp.<br>
2007.07.20: use nicam version 070719, MY2MOIST, partial cloud<br>
2007.07.14: comparison with JMA RADAR : rain_japan_ext (restricted access)<br>
2007.07.12: japan-local model failed , increase numerical diffusion (same as
tropics-local) <br>
2007.06.29: 1-month experiment (weekly, run on sunday) <br>
2007.06.28: change name Ts => t2m; change color bar of t2m, change title of figures <br>
2007.06.04: use nicam version 070601 <br>
2007.06.01: comparison with GMS images: olr_global_ext (restricted access). <br>
2007.05.26: add GLOBALIR tbb image for olr comparison: 3days delay. see links
in olr pages. <br>
2007.05.21: add olr output. <br>
2007.05.01: tropics-local model: As a default value, 
horizontal numerical diffusion is 3 times of the original value. 
The top of numerical diffusion is kept as the same as the orignal value. <br>
2007.05.01: japan-local model: As a default value, 
horizontal numerical diffusion is 2 times of the original value. 
The same modification as in tropics-local model at 2007.04.29. <br>
2007.04.30: japan-local model was terminated: 
DIF2. horizontal numerical diffusion is 2 times of the original value
for japan-local model. <br>
2007.04.29: tropics-local model: As a default value
horizontal numerical diffusion is 2 times of the original value. 
Even though, tropics-local model was terminated. <br>
2007.04.24,25: tropics-local model was terminated, 
DIF: horizontal numerical diffusion is twiced for tropics-local area model. 
DIF2: horizontal numerical diffusion is 1.5 times of the original value for tropics-local area model. 
<br>
2007.04.18: start tropics-local area nwp exp. <br>
2007.04.17: add N2limiter to MY2M. <br>
2007.04.07: boundary layer scheme is changed to MY2MOIST from MY2SMITH. <br>
2007.04.03: bug fix of initial data: qv=0 was set in mkinit_gpvgsm. <br>
2007.03.30: start japan-local area nwp exp. <br>
2007.02.20: start global nwp exp. <br>
