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


Options associated with momentum equations

The default horizontal advection is 3rd-order upstream bias for 3D momentum and 4th-order centered for 2D momentum. The default vertical advection is 4th-order centered for 3D momentum. If this is the case, no flags for momentum advection need to be activated.
The 3rd-order upstream split advection (UV_U3ADV_SPLIT) can be used to correct for the spurious mixing of the advection operator in terrain-following coordinates. If this is the case, the advection operator is split in advective and viscosity components and several internal flags are activated in "globaldefs.h". Notice that horizontal and vertical advection of momentum is 4th-order centered plus biharmonic viscosity to correct for spurious mixing. The total time-dependent horizontal mixing coefficient are computed in hmixing.F.

The default is to use the low-level MPI calls. The options for routine mp_boundary (used to process lateral open boundary conditions is either mpi_allgather or mpi_allreduce (default).
The user needs to be aware that the choice of these MPI communication routines it will affect performance issue. In some computers, the low-level are either slower or faster than the high-level MPI library calls. It depends on the computer (cluster) set-up.
