And the flow field is strange. The Kuroshio is not visible.

I found an old hard drive where I **might** have the original cpp.h file. I will post/send it later tonight. Your cpp.h has some non-standard choices. Are you using tidal forcing?

Below are the CPP options that I used for the 2004 Global Roms, but 1st let me suggest a perhaps easier alternative for your southern boundary. Why not extending your southern bdry to Antarctica and using EW_PERIODIC in the east-west direction for the ACC? that has been sucessfully done in the past with other models. Or with that same configuration you could also define nudging conditions for tracers (Temp and salinity) and momentum (incoming) and radiation conditions for outgoing information including sea level (no nudging for sea level though). Also, see my note below about TS_DIF2 and UV_VIS2.....with all these it should run fine.

Hi,

I just wonder about the grid that you used for the global simulation. I try to create same kind of grid (periodic in East-West direction) to simulate the small belt around equator but i have some difficulties to setup EW periodic grid. If it is possible could you share your grid with me.

Best regards,
