cppdefs.h

cppdefs.h

Internal header file containing all the C-preprocessing options that defines a particular application. It is included at the top of every ROMS source file. The application CPP option is specified in the makefile definition ROMS_APPLICATION. The application header file is determined during compilation as the lowercase value of ROMS_APPLICATION with the .h extension and loaded into the ROMS_HEADER definition. Then, during C-preprocessing the application header file is included in cppdefs.h using the following directive:

 #if defined ROMS_HEADER
 # include ROMS_HEADER
 #else
   CPPDEFS - Choose an appropriate ROMS application.
 #endif

However, if only the tidal elevation is available, the tidal currents at the open boundary can be estimated using reduced physics equations. Only the pressure gradient, Coriolis, and surface and bottom stresses terms are considered at the open boundary. See u2dbc_im.F or v2dbc_im.F for details.
