windbasin temperature constant

#1 Unread post by uranoscopus »

Hello everybody,
As you will argue I'm new with ROMS....
I wonder why in the windbasin test case, which uses analytical forcings and closed boundaries,
the temperature does not change, even if ana_smflux is defined and some wind-stress is applied.
Temp is initialized constant allover the basin to 20 C degree with ana_initial

Are there other CPP flags I have to set to turn on heat fluxes?

Sorry for the (I guess) very trivial question.

Cheers,
Antonio

Applying wind stress is not the same as applying a temperature flux. A surface temperature flux would be applied with nonzero ANA_STFLUX.

Thank you very much kate,
I thought for mistake the heat fluxes were defined by default.
Cheers,
