about the initial file for the wet and dry case

[jiangyuwu]

The domain has large tidal flat area, shall I define the additional variables, e.g. WETDRY_MASK_* and the corresponding ZETA related with the critical water depth, in the initial file? Or shall I modify the code to run such case?
thanks very much

Looking in get_state.F and checkvars.F, I see that the reading of the wet/dry masks only happens on PERFECT_RESTART:

Code: Select all

# if defined WET_DRY   && defined PERFECT_RESTART

There is code to only read these things on restarts, not when nrrec is zero.

As for zeta, try it and see? I don't recall having to do anything special in my WET_DRY starts.
