Re: ROMS Radiation Boundary condition (RadNud)

Bonjour I'd like to make two points: 1- OBCs are designed to handle both physical and numerical modes, and are probably more useful for the latter. This is probably why, in all our long-term simulations, Orlansky-type radiation conditions (in the active/passive approach) outperformed all others in t...

Re: The problem about creating an idealized warm ocean eddy

a square vortex is possible, but you need some resonant vortex Rossby waves. See this plot by Schubert et al. (1999). I also heard that G. Roullet (LPO, France) has presented some results at the Ocean Sciences meeting where he could make a square vortex using some flux-corrected advection schemes ...

Re: CPU time and MPI issues with nested grids

just a precision. ROMS_AGRIF also uses a full stencil at the interface (nesting with 1:1 gives the same results as no nesting at all). The model runs stably with 1:5 ratio, which gives excellent results in 2-way nesting (1:3 is preferable for 1-way nesting, because the solutions are naturally less s...

Re: WET_DRY and Dcrit

The implicit correction of Lemarié et al. (2012) fixes the problem for us (in ROMS_AGRIF). We implemented it for both interior diffusion (bi-laplacian) and sponges (laplacian) and WET_DRY runs without any problem in all configurations (e.g., with wetting-drying cells in sponge areas).

Re: A simple question about default obc in old version roms

I think that this discussion demonstrates the fact that users should not have to choose their combination of OBCs (unless they really want to). in the ROMS_AGRIF version, there is a default set of choices which avoids a lot of trouble for users and a much faster start up. concerning 2D radiative con...

Hi Sasha, In your formulation you use : NonLocalFlux = C * G(sigma) * SurfaceForcingFlux taking: SurfaceForcingFlux = stflx(i,j,itemp) - srflx(i,j) But in Large et al.

The scheme in Marchesiello et al (2009), let's call it RSUP3, is not meant to outperform UP3 (the standard ROMS upstream-biased advection scheme) in terms of numerical properties (accuracy, dispersion ...). It is only an attempt to correct excess diapycnal mixing that arises with steep slopes (even ...
