the middle layer velocity blows up

#1 Unread post by cheng_dada »

I update the ROMS from Version 3.4 to 4.1, then the middle layer velocity blows up in the 9000th step, while it runs well in ROMS version 3.4 with same input nc and initial conditions. Fig.1 is the blow up point, it is on the shore of an island.
I try to make the depth get more smooth, or change it into a dry point, but it will still blow up. Hope to get some help with this problem. Great thanks!

You chose 4-th order centered advection for tracers. Is that what you used previously with the stable model?

Your barotropic Courant number is 0.6 which is getting a bit large, though still stable. You might need to increase NDTFAST.
