Ocean Modeling Discussion

Dear JCWarner, thank you for your comments. Actually, I didn't recall the SetFillVal=.FALSE. trick for WET/DRY and dynamic morphology. I tried to set them in def_rst and wrt_rst for all the variables related to the vertical mixing processes (but I think tke and gls would be enough) and it works, wit...

Dear ROMS people, after a while I resumed looking at this problem and finally I can give answers to my own questions. Here we go. Synopsis – I use a Nonlinear implementation of ROMS in the Adriatic Sea and every time I run a restart solution using PERFECT RESTART the model blows up at the very first...

Hi all, I'd like to report two minor bugs in latest revision (452), related to the passive tracer solution (flags T_PASSIVE and ANA_PSOURCE being affected): 1) in Utility/inp_par.F: line 1660: When reading LtracerSrc from the input parameters, it assigns the value to LtracerSrc internal variable for...

Dear Dave, thank you for your suggestions. After digging into the meaning of the compiler options, I realized the k8-64 flag is not correct. This machine mounts Intel Xeon 5500 cpus. I changed the processor optimization to p7-64, but the result is the same. Moreover, I tried the -Kieee flag to confo...

Greg, thank you for reporting this issue. Now it definitively looks like a problem related to the PGI optimization. Furthermore, I succeeded in compiling with Intel fortran on the Linux cluster (shared-memory only) and it runs flawlessly: Using Intel Fortran on Linux Cluster with OpenMP: it RUNS! Co...

Dear Prof. Arango, thank you for your suggestions. Indeed, I checked the min/max values in the standard output, comparing them with the min/max from the actual fields in the restart file and they look good. Moreover I didn't notice anything strange in the restart fields after looking at them one by ...

Dear ROMS community, I have got a problem running the current stable release 3.3 using a re-start solution (NRREC ≠ 0). We have been successfully running an operational forecasting system in the Adriatic Sea for over two years, using release 3.0 and I have never encountered the problem I'm going to ...
