Be careful to add the model MDT and not other product such as that provided by AVISO.
The model MDT can be obtained as the mean of a long (say 5 years or more) forward run.

got it, thanks very much!

The point of having a PERFECT RESTART option in ROMS is to be able to be able to restart a run as if it were never interrupted. To do so it needs all levels that are carried for the 3td-order predictor-corrector time stepping. . Hello , I have a basic confusion. When I use the 4Dvar to assimilate S...

Dear ymamoutos many thanks for your answer i have got what is my problem :wink: sincerely yours fereshte hello , in the file 'd_ecmwf2roms.m',there have the lines as follow to change the 'previous accumulation'. but I find that the variable 'field_previous' used without in initial value. How to cor...

No need to double post - I answered your other one. But what I'd really do is run this in a debugger and figure out exactly what's going on. This can be solved in serial mode, so the free gdb would work. Sorry, I am just too worry about my research. I used the blkm2.nc and brym2.nc which time index...

in the forcing file , the time index is all the same.

I have remove the cycle attribute, and just use bulkm2.nc and brym2.nc. but also the same problem.How to check the error.

The time in the initial conditions file does not have to match the first time in all the boundary conditions, forcing, and other input files. ROMS is clever enough to take the initial conditions time and figure out which records to read and interpolate from all the others. If it were any other way ...

I don't think the problem is in the time indexing. What is at line 100 of your get_data.F? get_data_ 100 get_data.f90 Which field is it trying to read there? You're right in that it's trying to read the time associated with that variable. the position of the get_data.f90 line 100 is try to read the...

Thanks , I have understood it.

You are clamping to monthly climatology for T and S? I prefer RadNud from something like daily HYCOM fields. Same for u,v.

sorry applying so late.I run successful with your suggestion.Thank you very much.

Maybe show us that whole chunk of your ocean.in file. Did you ask it to read an initial conditions file? Do you have a comment on the ININAME line? It's reading that just before the ITLNAME. Hello Kate I may have a problem when the model read the focring/bulk file. But I can't find the point,could ...

2. If you don't define QCORRECTION, SCORRECTION or SRELAXATION, you don't have to provide SST or SSS.

I have a question that when I should define the option 'SOLAR_SOURCE' if I use the BULK_FLUXES?

Visualize your restart file. In this business, you need to build some debugging skills of your own. Hello! I have a problem when run a spinup with climatology data. I have run 855 days without error but blowup suddenly. I see the restart file,it has 11 variables 'zeta' 'u' 'v' 'ubar' 'vbar' 'temp' ...

I can't speak for the rest, but I don't want to look at your restart file. You need to start developing tools for looking at ROMS output, including restart files. The simplest way to start is with ncview, which will show you the fields in any netcdf file (or group of files). That is often good enou...

Got it, Thank you very much!

[quote="kate"]The grid file only has horizontal information in it - ROMS won't try to read Vstretching from it. Own, I have found that with the grid file of WC13/Data/wc13_grd.nc. Thank you. Another qusetion: in the grid file generated using the ROMSTOOLS, there is no variable "coast&...

Hi, I'm a newer to use ROMS of Rutgers version. Because there is no mannual of the matlab tools, I want to use the "ROMSTOOLS" which belong to ROMS_AGRIF version. so I want to know if the tools can be matched the Rutgers version correctly. If it can be use, will we also follow the step &qu...

Hi. I'm a new learner of roms,too. Could you help me? I found that you have used to prepare the gird files with "ROMSTOOLS" which belong to ROMS_AGRIF version to run some application of Rutgers version. So I have some question. In the ROMSTOOLS of ROMS_AGRIF version, there is no parameter ...
