Restart issue

#1 Unread post by kate »

I usually set my restart frequency to once a day, ditto my writing of averages files (each file with one record). However, I tried a restart at less than a day and failed:

Code: Select all

 NETCDF_OPEN - unable to open existing NetCDF file:
               nwgoa_avg_0000.nc
               call from:  def_avg.F
 No such file or directory
I got it to restart with this patch:

Code: Select all

diff --git a/ROMS/Nonlinear/output.F b/ROMS/Nonlinear/output.F
index 8a33e14..65697f5 100644
--- a/ROMS/Nonlinear/output.F

               NewFile=.FALSE.
I don't know if this is right for all situations.

Perhaps this is a better fix:

Code: Select all

diff --git a/ROMS/Nonlinear/output.F b/ROMS/Nonlinear/output.F
