...and to actually answer your other questions... yes there is feedback between the light attenuation by the phytoplankton and the physics (attenuation of shortwave) we do this in the bulk flux files where ice phytoplankton attenuates the surface flux of shortwave radiation and in pre_step3d where t...

Hi, Yes, Kate is right. This is a VERY old version of the code - I actually even forgot it was in her main distribution - and the light attenuation code went through a few itterations. Kate and I are going to work to re-sync an up-to-date version of the BEST-NPZ code with her branch of ROMS. It will...

Well that explains it I guess the ROMS webpage and wiki and case sensitive then as the problem has never shown up before.
Thanks Dave much appreciated.

Hi I am having a problen checking out ROMS 3.0 with svn: [george@georgina ~]$ svn checkout https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/trunk MyDir Authentication realm: <https> Subversion Repository Password for 'george': svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/src/trunk' svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/src/trunk': 403 For...

Have you checked the source code for consistency with your netcdf file?
I recently used roms_to_vis5d with ROMS v3 and I had to edit get_scoord.F
to change s_r to s_rho to reflect a variable name change in the newer versions of ROMS. This is probably a good place to start looking.
Good Luck

Hi Jim There a a number of files that you will have to edit to add a biological tracer. I have included a list of the files and a short description of what they do below. Let me know if you have any questions. George mod_scalars.F-Tracer identification indices varinfo.dat -Input/Output variables inf...

Hi John,
This looks great to get me started. I will try adding the suggested code and let you know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi John Thanks for your reply. This approach sounds very promising. So, ideally I would have 1 bed layer in which a tracer (my benthic component) is initialized. This tracer would be able to interact with the regular bio traces by consuming sinking detritus (-assimilating the material and increase i...

Hi All Does anybody have any ideas of how I can incorporate a benthic biology component into ROMS? I want my benthic component to remain stationary on the bottom so I dont want it to be a tracer like all the other biology components. The only think I could think off was modifying the sediment routin...
