Question about the "Input NetCDF files" in "*.in"

[kee]

Hi all,

I found that nearly all the *.in file has the following INPUT section:
____________________
! Input NetCDF file names, [1:Ngrids].

GRDNAME == *.nc
ININAME == *.nc
ITLNAME == ocean_itl.nc
IRPNAME == ocean_irp.nc
IADNAME == ocean_iad.nc
CLMNAME == ocean_clm.nc
BRYNAME == ocean_bry.nc
FWDNAME == ocean_fwd.nc
ADSNAME == ocean_ads.nc
!.....
!.....
NFFILES == 9 ! number of forcing files

FRCNAME == ../in/*.nc \
../in/*.nc \
../in/*.nc \
....
....
_____________________

However, I have checked the whole ROMS directory over without finding the 6-NETCDF files highlighted in red.

so, can anyone tell me whether ROMS invokes these 6 files or there is some other implication?
if yes, how?

Those names are placeholders for files you may or may not need. I have used a boundary condition file and a climatology file, but not any of the rest. Cases like UPWELLING need none of them.

Yeah, I also noticed that. but still confused.
Anyway, I will figure it out.
