Ocean Modeling Discussion

Dear DJ, When dealing with ocean modelling it is normal to use the forum before checking all the code. That is the purpose of this forum, I believe. Suggesting that a model user is lazy and uses ROMS as a black box is a very sad thing to say and unfortunately very frequent in this forum. I found the...

I used 2-way nesting as I only activated the NESTING option. The second (intermediate) grid has a bathymetry smoothly converging to the bathymetry of the first grid (coarser). The third grid for both factors 3 and 5 was extracted from the intermediate one using coarse2fine.m without any modification...

Hello I have 3 nested domains with refinement factors 3,3 and all looks fine (3 from grid 0 to grid 1; and 3 from grid 1 to grid 2). When I change the refinement factors to 3,5, I get problems with the free surface of the intermediate domain. Here is the zeta initial (left) and after one day (right)...

i) hdf5 must be at least hdf5-1.8.5-patch1

ii) with netcdf4 (worked fine with netcdf-4.1.1)
./configure --enable-netcdf-4 --with-hdf5=$HDFDIR --enable-shared --enable-dap --prefix=<whatever> --disable-fortran
