Model running error: REASON: KEchar = NaN, PEchar = NaN

#1 Unread post by zhaolv »

I am using coawst to study recently, but I got an error when I tried to run the roms model alone. I think there should be no problem with my initial file data. Maybe my ocean.in file parameters are wrong?

Code: Select all

    
    GET_3DFLD   - salinity climatology,                            2018-09-16 00:00:00.00

I checked the main3d.F and nl_ocean.h files. The corresponding part of the code is as follows:

I initially thought that there was a problem with my .bdy and forcing files, but after checking it, I found that the data was normal. Only the ocean_time and other parameters in the bdy and clm files are different from those in the ini file. I unified them to 58376 (otherwise other errors will occur).
But I still get the error.I have attached the log file in the end.
I do have no idea about this, Can anyone give me some suggestions or ideas?
thank you very much.

Hi there, did you manage to solve this issue? I'm running into the same problem and I don't understand it.

there can be many reasons why the model is not starting.
i remember seeing this

GET_GRID - bathymetry at RHO-points: h
(Grid = 02, File: Projects/Mangkhut/Mangkhut_roms_grid_ref3.nc)
(Min = 0.00000000E+00 Max = 3.49541846E+03)

if your min depth is 0, you need to define wet_dry.
