ROMS plotting package: Ekman Pumping/Wind Stress Curl NaNs

#1 Unread post by marciath »

Hi all,

I keep getting all NaNs when I try to plot surface Ekman pumping or wind stress curl with the ROMS plotting package. I was able to plot all the variables (from my input netcdf file) that are used in curlz.F using the plotting package, so I know these variables are being read through properly. I know that Nans exist in these variables that are able to plot, but there are some masking scripts in the package that allow those NaNs to be ignored. Therefore, I have a suspicion that these NaNs were somehow not ignored as they should be in the plotting package.

So my questions are - am I incorrect about what I think is going on? and if so/not, how can this problem be resolved?

Thanks for your help!

Marcia
