Re: Fields flagged for output not appearing in history file


idangR is only written out if you have #ifdef CURVGRID (see def_info.F).

idu3dE and idv3dN are only written out for # ifdef ADJUST_BOUNDARY
idu2dE and idv2dN are only written out for # ifdef ADJUST_BOUNDARY
??

idTzph does not seem to be available for write out.


Thanks for your help! I was a ...

Re: Fields flagged for output not appearing in history file

Yep, u, v and others are outputted just fine. here is the full list of fields flagged T, with a !!!! after the missing ones:

Hout(idangR) == T ! angle angle between XI axis and east !!!!

Hout(idUvel) == T ! u 3D U-velocity
Hout(idVvel) == T ! v 3D V-velocity
Hout(idu3dE) == T ! u_eastward 3D U ...

Fields flagged for output not appearing in history file

Hey everyone, I wanted to output the east/north current components to the history file, but despite flagging them with a T they do not appear in the output netcdf file:


! Logical switches (TRUE/FALSE) to activate writing of fields into
! HISTORY output file.

Hout(idangR) == T ! angle angle ...

Re: Lateral Boundary Zeta wall of water


did you check ubar, vbar, salt, temp?
is that your eastern boundary? looks like southern.


Yeah, when I made the grid I accidentally made it rotated 90 degrees, so in ROMS coordinate terms south is east.

I am not providing boundary conditions for salt and temperature nor writing them out, this ...

Lateral Boundary Zeta wall of water

Hello!

I am hitting an issue trying to implement boundary conditions with HYCOM data, where the zeta boundary condition reaches insane heights on the second time step, sending a wave across the domain, destroying lives and, worse, blowing up the model.
On the first time step, It seems to read the ...

Re: Roms failing to read from surface forcing file

Not 5 minutes later, I tried and yes, it WAS the problem.

To any future users struggling to use era5 data (or any data for that matter), check for the 'stored_direction = "decreasing"' field on latitude or longitude, it will prevent ROMS from being able to regrid the data properly. Reversing the ...

Roms failing to read from surface forcing file

Hey all,

I'm having some difficulties with my input surface stress forcing file. Ive downloaded some era5 data from my time period of interest for forcing, but when I attempt to use it, ROMS reads it in as all 0s. The data is on a lat lon grid, so I am relying on ROMS' regridding function. Reading ...

Calculate u/vbar

Hey all,

I've been looking to run a ROMS simulation, but I am struggling to get my inital conditions file ready for a run. Mostly I am just unsure what fields I need defined. I'm only looking to simulate ocean currents, so right now I've got the initial u, v, and zeta at each rho point across all s ...
