Ocean Modeling Discussion

In addition to his many scientific talents, Dale was a long-time supporter of interdisciplinary modeling and a generous friend to young scientists, connecting them to the wider community of modelers - from SPEM to SCRUM to ROMS, a steady advocate for this expanding community. I especially enjoyed tr...

Kate, did you use point sources to implement the lateral fluxes, or a compiler option (cppdefs) in your branch? We haven't been able to find one particular to lateral fluxes in the main branch documentation.
Thanks!

Hi Ivca, Here's a paper by Drenkard et al. with summaries of many downscaling studies: https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/78/6/1969/6307379?login=true Some recent ROMS-based CMIP5/CMIP6 downscaling to the Bering Sea, with discussion of methods, is described in the following publications: https...

Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in Oceanography at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA The Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO) at the University of Washington is currently seeking applications for a postdoctoral position in physical oceanography. The focu...

Hi Hernan, Just to clarify, the precise dimensions of our grid are 182x258x60. It seemed our problem was more with stack vs the heap, irrespective of the fp-model issue. Apparently our cluster did have a restricted memory problem (restricted stack size), which the new settings have overcome. Not a R...

We had been having severe issues with ROMS (plus biology) on a new (384 AMD core) cluster, using intel fortran: /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/069/bin/intel64/ifort When we used the standard options in Linux-ifort.mk: FFLAGS = -heap-arrays -fp-model-precise we were getting random hangups of the execution ...

Well, it turns out the BIO_SEDIMENT section was the source of the bug after all - the undefined variable "indx" was used where "ibio" should be! Things look MUCH better now, total nitrogen is conserving well. Here's the latest diff: ----------------------------------------- /home...

John, Thanks for your input; I certainly agree that the ROMS implementation is a big advance in terms of numerics (indeed, it conserves extremely well with sinking turned off). The nitrogen and silicate parts of NEMURO are fundamentally separate, and one should not affect the other as regards conser...

Several of us have recently been debugging the ROMS NEMURO code. One way of testing the code is to see whether all categories of nitrogen taken together ("total nitrogen") is conserved in a run. When I run my thus-far debugged version (using Holling grazing) in 1D (BIO_TOY), and set the si...

Hi group, There appears to be a problem with units in the originally released nemuro.in, such that many of the values are off by a factor of 1.e3. I have confirmed this with Hernan. Here is a diff of the presently distributed file, and what I believe to be the correct values (that is, values corresp...

Research Scientist position, Physical/Biological modeling with ROMS Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and the Ocean (JISAO) University of Washington, Seattle, WA JISAO has an outstanding opportunity for a Research Scientist/Engineer 2. The position will be full-time; a part-time appoi...

Hi, I will be attending the workshop, and will have a bit of gear for a virtual reality demonstration. Can any well-traveled participant recommend a hotel which is especially close to the conference site? For example, is the Hotel Marconi within easy walking distance, when one has luggage? Thanks fo...
