Ocean Modeling Discussion

Hello, I am a new user of ROMS model. I a using D_ECMWF2ROMS Matlab scripts for ECMWF atmospheric forcing. Now in ERA5 data we are getting hourly data for latest year. so, for hourly data how will I handle with the accumulation data? The following part is for 3-hourly datasets. how to edit it for ho...

You've told us about your vertical and horizontal diffusion, but what is the vertical boundary condition? In other words, the surface heat flux? Can you output it and look at it? Is it computed internally (bulk fluxes) or provided externally? Hi Kate Yes, I have used COADS climatology atmospheric f...

Hi, My model result is not good enough. Salinity is not a big problem but Temperature(within 50-200 meters’ depth) is the main problem (low:3 to 4 degrees C). I'm giving details to express my problem in easier way. Sorry for your time. I'm using MY2.5 scheme, ! Vertical mixing coefficients for trace...

Hi, c.drinkorn

Thanks for your reply. I didn't try it before. yes Surface T is higher but in 50 to 300 meters depth it is 2-3 degrees low. salinity is less problematic than temperature. Surface salinity is very fresh near river mouth.
Thanks again



Hi Kate

Thanks for your comments

Hi Model output shows SST is about 3 to 4 degrees high only during March and April (highest heating season); other months are not bad . subsurface/thermocline temperature is lower than World Ocean Atlas data. Surface salinity is also not bad but very low near river estuary. My domain is the Bay of B...
