#717 closed bug (Fixed)

Important: Error in correct_tracer routine for two-way nesting

Reported by: arango Owned by: arango
Priority: major Milestone: Release ROMS/TOMS 3.7
Component: Nonlinear Version: 3.7

Description

A factor of dt(ngc)/dt(ngf) was missing in the computation of the vertically integrated tracer flux correction (TFF) in two-way nesting in private routine correct_tracer_tile of nesting.F:

           TFF=TFF*dt(ngc)/dt(ngf)

The correction is small but it may make a difference in some applications at the refined grid boundary. It assumes that the coarse grid tracer flux remains constant over all fine grid mini-time steps.

Many thanks to Richard Leighton for his excellent description and solution to this problem. Check his application before and after the fix.
