Ocean Modeling Discussion

Dear professor Wilkin,

Sorry for the late reply but I wanted to test some things before answering.
The problem was that I was checking the salinity only at the first levels :oops:
and not the vertically integrated salinity (as you suggest).
I can see now the river inflow in both cases even though ...

If I understand correctly, in my version of ROMS (prior to 11/25/2013)
rivers can be activated with UV_PSOURSE cpp option for river transport only.
If I want tracers also, I have to define TS_PSOURSE and set to true LtracerSrc in the ocean.in file
and/or set river_flag=3 (both temperature and ...

Dear Kate,

My ROMS version is 3.7.
I know that *_PSOURSE cpp options have been replaced with LuvSrc, LwSrc, and LtracerSrc
but I haven't update recently because I will have to change a lot of things in my configuration. :oops:
Where do you think the problem is?
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your ...

Dear all,

I tried to add rives in my configuration but for some reason salinity remains too high.
So I did several tests trying to understand why ROMS doesn't seem to read my river data.
I prepared the river.nc input file according to: /MYROMS/trunk/Data/ROMS/CDL/frc_rivers.cdl and I used map ...

Hi,

You can take a look at this: https://www.myroms.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2512&hilit=dtfast
to find out about the relationship between ntimes, dt and ndtfast.
ntimes is the total number of timesteps so if you have for example:

NTIMES=1440
DT=300
NRST,NHIS,...=288

then your model will run ...

Hi,

In your header file you have #ifdef GLE_MIXING instead of #ifdef GLS_MIXING.
Make sure that you have the correct paths, names for all your input files and you might also take a look at:
/test/your_test/Build/read_phypar.f90 to see if you can find anything there.
Also make sure that you don't ...

Thank you both for your answers!
I will try again according to your suggestions.

Kate,

Thanks for your reply. I changed the code in the /Modules/mod_ncparam.F as Hadfield proposed in
https://www.myroms.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3154&p=12020&hilit=ANANAME#p12020
and the problem solved for the ana* files.
But I'm still having those characters in the LBC section for the ...

Patrick,

Thanks for your kindly reply. Maybe my question wasn't clear enough so I will try to rephrase.
What I'm trying to find out is not what the @ symbol means generally BUT inside the log file.
As shown above those characters appeared (for the upwelling case) while writing in the log file
the ...

Dear all,

When I ran the upwelling case (months ago) I got weird characters in my log file. But since the were associated with biological factors and the results seemed fine, I didn't gave much attention. A part of my log file is:

Lateral Boundary Conditions: NLM ...

Dear Gianni and Kate,
The outputs from POM are not in a netcdf format but maybe I can fix that.
So in order to use them first I have to do some kind of interpolation, then making them netcdf and finally pass the .nc file that I will have created to d_mercator2roms.m script to get my ini.nc file for ...

Dear Kate,
Yes you are right I didn't do any interpolation. :roll: :roll: I'm new in ROMS and modeling and there a lot of things I don't understand yet completely. I read several posts about how to make the ini.nc but obviously I'm missing something.
If I take the data -say from MEDATLAS or POM in ...

Thanks Gianni for your kindly reply,
Yes, the weird characters were my mistake, I'm fixing that now. I haven't realize that the limits for rx0 and rx1 were so strict. I saw somewhere that they are supposed to be rx0<0.3 and rx1<6.
What I can't understand is why ROMS ran the first time since all the ...

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to set up my own application by using as a template the "Fjord tidal case" (just for checking the grid and initial files that I produced for my area).
So first I made the grid.nc file using the bathymetry of my region whereas for the ini.nc file I used constant values ...

I made my grid netcdf file recently using seagrid and then seagrid2roms. It worked for me (using MATLAB R2009a). Do you think that the problem is your matlab version?

Thanks Kate for your kindly reply,
I' m not familiar with python yet but I realize that in the future I will have to learn python also.

Dear Wilkin,
I finally manage to run editmask.m with coastline data by making small changes in the code.
I had seen what you told about i,j grid and I had also ...

Hello all,
I manage to compile and run the "upwelling" test case and also the "lake signell" and "fjord_tidal" cases. Now I'm trying to set up my own application in the region of North Aegean sea (Greece). Since I'm new to Roms and ocean modelling in general I have some difficulties in generating ...

You can make the same plots that you saw in ROMS manual by using John Wilkin's plotting tools:

I think Roms_Islice is the one you want (figure 19 in roms manual).

Hello Kee,
I'm new in ROMS and in ocean modeling so i can't really help you. I wanted also to run the Latte test case but i found the following discussion saying that latte needs to be updated so i didn't even try to run it.... Check this and good luck
