Hi,
The roms output density anomaly is not consistent with the value I calculated using temp and salt. But the roms output potential vorticity is consistent with value I calculated.

- The section is along 30 N.The result is 3-day averaged in March. Potential density is shown in white line, pv is shown in color. The left density is calculated using temp and salt; the right density is from roms averaged output file.
Re: roms output wrong density anomaly
It looks like one is potential density, the other in situ density. If you look at mod_ocean.F, the model has both:
However, wrt_his.F only writes rho, not pden. One could modify the output to add the option to write pden.
Code: Select all
! pden Potential Density anomaly (kg/m3). !
! rho Density anomaly (kg/m3). !
