Arctic floats and stations

#1 Unread post by kate »

Just a warning about floats and stations in the Arctic - or any circumpolar domain. If you set their location by lat/lon, there are two locations where the search scheme succeeds - both at the longitude you hope for, and where the grid's longitude has a jump from say 359.9 to 0.1. In a parallel (MPI) application, there are now two tiles which think they own that object. In the sum reduction, you end up with the sum of both tile's contribution for a bogus location.
