No, this is not the case. All _FillValues are replaced with zero in all the nf_fread* routines. For example, in nf_fread2d.F we have: 

        status=nf90_get_var(ncid, ncvarid, wrk, start, total)
        IF (status.eq.nf90_noerr) THEN
          Amin=spval
          Amax=-spval
          DO i=1,Npts
            IF (ABS(wrk(i)).ge.ABS(Aspval)) THEN
              wrk(i)=0.0_r8                      ! masked with _FillValue
            ELSE
              ...
            END IF
          END DO
        END IF

This will remove any _FillValue at input. We cannot apply land/sea mask here because this type of coding is not adjointable. Anyway, the mask multiplication takes place in ini_fields for all the model state variables.

Therefore, I don't see the problem that you are reporting.

  • Ticket #286 – Description

    initial v1  
    1 Since the _FillValue has been introduced to mark land points in the ocean_his output files, one can not use them directly to restart the model (assuming the ocean_his files containing all relevant informations). Since grid points' values located on land are set to _FillValue, ROMS stops during initialization by reporting unreasonable input values.
     1Since the '''_FillValue''' has been introduced to mark land points in the '''ocean_his''' output files, one can not use them directly to restart the model (assuming the '''ocean_his''' files containing all relevant data). Since grid points' values located on land are set to '''_FillValue''', ROMS stops during initialization by reporting unreasonable input values.

    3 Setting the _FillValues to zero (like in the old case) resolves the problem but might be not intended. Therefore I would suggest, if the checking of unreasonable values might be improved and is restricted only on ocean points by using the existing masks.
