Writing boundary files with Python

Dear community,

Could anyone direct me to a python script/package/project to write netcdf boundary files?
I have a bunch of depth-averaged velocity and sea surface elevation timeseries with which I would like to force a 3D ROMS simulation.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Community, Here is the thing. I would like to generate eddy/vortex-like structures which would travel in a simplified one-direction open-boundary flow. Firstly, does anyone have any idea if it is even possible to generate/impose such structures? Secondly, if it is indeed possible, do you have a...

Thank you all,

Here is an early christmas present, a python translation of John's tpxo8_to_roms package.
I've started testing it...so far, so good.

Forcing a turbulence spectrum

Dear community, I would like borrow your brains for a moment. Although I am guessing that this is out of ROMS' capability scope, I was wondering if there would be a way, given a small-enough time step and a large-enough number of iterations, to impose a turbulence spectrum (i.e. Von-Karman like-spec...

Hello everyone,

Quick question, does anyone know what are the units of gls in the output files ? m3/s2 as defined in varinfo.dat or the units of the length scale corresponding to the chosen two-equation turbulence model (e.g.: s-1 for k-omega, m2/s3 for k-epsilon, m3/s2 for k-kl,...) ?

Sorry for the lateness of my answer.

By the way no trace of ana_NLMinitial_tile in analytical.f90. I have got instead ana_initial_tile.
