TIMELESS_DATA

#1 Unread post by johnluick »

I happened to notice that (at least with version 3.7) ROMS did not write out the name of the tidal forcing file for a purely tidal-forced run until I changed line 4597 in read_phypar.F
from
#if defined FRC_FILE
to
#if defined FRC_FILE || defined TIMELESS_DATA
Not sure if that was the best fix but it worked.
Looking at the lines in globaldefs.h where FRC_FILE is defined it seemed like this could arise for other cases besides purely tidal.
Of course the program ran fine, it just didn't write out properly.

Yes, that would work for your particular set-up. However, the correct way is to modify the internal definition for FRC_FILE in globaldefs.h to:

Code: Select all

/*
** Define internal flag indicating processing of input forcing
** NetCDF file.
*/

#ifdef SOLVE3D
# ifdef BULK_FLUXES
#  ifdef ANA_SMFLUX
#   undef ANA_SMFLUX
#  endif
#  ifdef ANA_STFLUX
#   undef ANA_STFLUX
#  endif
# endif
# if !defined ANA_BTFLUX   || \
    (!defined AIR_OCEAN    && \
     !defined BULK_FLUXES  && !defined ANA_SMFLUX)   || \
    (!defined BULK_FLUXES  && !defined ANA_STFLUX)   || \

    ( defined BBL_MODEL    && (!defined ANA_WWAVE    && \

#  define FRC_FILE
# endif
#else
# if !defined ANA_SMFLUX   || \
    ( defined  SSH_TIDES   || defined UV_TIDES)
#  define FRC_FILE
# endif
#endif
 
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will load this correction today.
