Ocean Modeling Discussion

If you are getting your tides from the XX_TIDES options, you leave that on when adding tides to the subtidal flows coming from your FSOBC and M2OBC. The only domain in which I don't have ADD_FSOBC, SSH_TIDES and so forth is when my boundary file temporally resolves the tides and brings the tides in...

Hi all, My model (with river, tide and initial conditions inputs) finished its run using TS_A4HADVECTION and TS_A4VADVECTION. However, the results produced unrealistic salinity and temperature. I got maximum salinities of up to almost 200, and my minimum salinity is negative. I have been advised to ...

Thank you so so much! This is really helpful!

Thanks for the reply Kate. I realized the problem was in my "f" variable (grid file). The land cells all have NaN values as their f so I set them to 0, and the model ran. My Beckmann and Haney numbers are still Inf though.

I also added an option to ROMS so that it reads one temperature timeseries and applies it to all rivers at all depths. Hi Kate, does this mean ROMS can read a separate time series (not river_time) for the temperature? If so, how can I do this option? Make a separate "time" variable in the...

Hi everyone, I was able to compile and create executables oceanS and oceanG with no problem. I edited my build.bash because I want to create oceanM and run parallel jobs. I particularly changed the following in my build.bash: 1. I activated MPI in these parts export USE_MPI=on # distributed-memory p...

Thanks for the response Kate!

Hi everyone, I'm new to ROMS so please bear with me if my question seems too basic. I am making a river discharge input file and my study site has multiple rivers. So far I've created a river input file from the largest river in my site. Now, I want to include the small rivers. I've also looked into...

hi Kate. My model keeps blowing up. The one who posted this topic is actually my friend and now his model runs. I compared my .in and header files with his, still my model blows up. I'm looking closer into my input files because I have a strong feeling that the problem is in them. It cannot calculat...

Hi. I was able to compile with no error. However, my model blows up immediately as soon as it starts. I tried several grid configurations but to no avail. Can someone provide an insight about what could have been the problem? Aside from the grid, I configured my river discharge, tide and initial con...

Hi Kate! My debugger stopped at "river runoff direction" and didn't display anything about "river runoff mass transport vertical profile" like yours did, so I suspected it had something to do with my river_Vshape variable. I checked and indeed, I made a mistake configuring it. I ...

Hi everyone. I'm trying to run my model in an estuary. Compiling was successful but I encountered a problem during the run. Pasted below are the last parts of the print out in the terminal: INQUIRE - unable to find requested variable: river in file: Data/NAKDONG_river1.nc Elapsed CPU time (seconds):...

Hi everyone, I'm planning to buy a new pc and thinking of having Windows 10 as the OS (will just use cygwin as Linux emulator). Anyone running ROMS with Windows 10 here? Will there be a lot of difficulties and incompatibilities? If there are, which Windows OS do you suggest? Thanks in advance for yo...

running roms in cygwin these days is actually a lot easier than it used to be. When you download cygwin, you can also get gfortran compiler (nice but slower than ifort and pgi) and you can also get the netcdf libraries all precompiled with that version of gfortran. you need to make sure you select ...

Hi everyone, newbie in ROMS here. I understand that ROMS runs in a UNIX environment. I currently have Windows as the OS and am admittedly not yet familiar with the UNIX environment. Now, I'm torn between: a) starting ROMS with a UNIX environment (this means I will also have to do my other ROMS-unrel...
