Replaced NC_CONFIG with NF_CONFIG and nc-config with nf-config in all build scripts (build.sh and build.bash) and the make configuration scripts (Compilers/*.mk). This is only relevant when compiling ROMS with the NetCDF-4 library.

Notice that compiling with nc-config still works if the nf-config script for the appropriate compiler and NetCDF-4 is in your path. The problem with nc-config is that it calls nf-config without the full path. If nf-config is not resolved, the linking stage gives lots of errors.

NetCDF-4 made this change to distinguish between C- and Fortran compiling long time ago. However, the nf-config is not available in the earlier (old) versions of the NetCDF-4 library. For us, it is much better to use the nf-config script since it doesn't call other scripts and we can specify the full path in ROMS build script. This is convient for some of us that use different compilers and versions of the NetCDF library.

The routine wpoints.F was updated to use the pmask_full, rmask_full, umask_full and vmask_full instead of the regular mask arrays (pmask, rmask, umask, and vmask). The _full arrays are used to ensure that masks at mass point source locations (river runoff) are set to water to avoid masking with _FillValue at those locations in output NetCDF files.

Recall that the WRITE_WATER option is used in ROMS to write output fields as a long vector (compact 1D array). The masked land points are not written to compress the size of output NetCDF files. I have not used this option in several years because it is not CF compliant and such ROMS output NetCDF cannot post-processed with third-party software.

Recall that the WRITE_WATER option cannot be used in conjuntion with wetting and drying WET_DRY because the 1D arrays witl change in size and violates the defined compact dimensions in the output NetCDF files.

Many thanks to David Ullman for ​bringing this to my attention.
