Ocean Modeling Discussion

Kate and John: WET_DRY is definitely the path I am thinking to follow. I was just worried about it not being possible after Zafer comment.
Thanks once more.

Jcwarner and Wilkin - Thanks a lot for the suggestion guys. I will look into both dataset to see which one can be more suitable to my case (and thanks for the heads up on the mean sea level Wilkin) :)

Nacholibre - When you talk about bad values, do you mean NaN (not a number) values?
At some point ...

Hey there John, thanks for your answer.

I thought about using Hycom because I am trying to simulate the surge caused by hurricane Sandy on Delaware Bay. When I applied just the winds and tides, the simulation fails to achieve that (in fact, instead of having an elevation in the sea surface, it ...

Dear all,

I'm trying to run COAWST (coupling ROMS and SWAN) using free-surface information from HYCOM at the boundary.
In my first test, I've created a file with information just in the East boundary and it worked.
For a second test, I've created a file with information also in the North and ...

Ok. Thanks a lot for your reply =)

One last questions.
Would I run into the same situation if I was putting my forcing in the East/South boundary or is this a problem specific for West/North boundary?

Thanks a lot guys. This was very helping and enlightening.

Guys,

I'm sorry, I just realized I explained my case wrongly and I didn't mention that I am using COAWST. :oops: It is actually when I force the model with the Sea Surface Elevation that I get the problem, not when forcing with the U-component of the Barotropic Flow.

That is what confused me the ...

Dear all,

I am running a test case to better understand the impact of different kinds of Boundary Conditions and found something that I cannot understand.

My scenarios are:
S1 - FSCHAPMAN - M2FLATHER
S2 - FSCHAPMAN - M2CLAMPED
S3 - FSCLAMPED - M2FLATHER
S4 - FSCLAMPED - M2CLAMPED

(Meaning I am ...

Dear Vilandra

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your easygrid_v2. I was having a lot of problems trying to run the v0 version in here but with your version it ran smoothly.

Cheers,
Andre
