About easygrid's SMOOTH_GRID

[xiaozhu557]

Now I am running ROMS for simulating the SOUTH CHINA SEA, and after I changed for my depth from our group to create a grid:
lat = 0.86; % Latitude (degrees) of the bottom-left corner of the grid.
lon = 99; % Longitude (degrees) of the bottom-left corner of the grid.

X = 3120000; % Width of domain (meters) 26.33
Y = 2800000; % Length of domain (meters)
rotangle = 0; % Angle (degrees) to rotate the grid conterclock-wise
resol = 11000; % Cell width and height (i.e. Resolution)in meters. Grid cells are forced to be (almost) square.
N = 10; % Number of vertical levels

When I smoothed the depth at first time, it is OK, and outputed in the screen:

But when I soothed it again,by setting in the easygrid.m:
create_grid = 0; % Create GRID. Turn OFF to work with a previously created grid (i.e. grid variables existing on Workspace)
plot_grid = 1; % Plot grid
smooth_grid = 1; % Smooth bathymetry using H. Arango's smth_bath.m , which applies a Shapiro filter to the bathymetry
edit_mask = 0; % Edit rho-mask using interactive plot. Use this to manually change sea-pixels into land-pixels and vice-versa
screen_output = 1; % Displays (on screen) many parameters that need to be copy-pasted in the ocean.in file
save_grid = 0; % Save GRID in a NetCDF file
save_init = 0; % Create (and save) INITIAL CONDITIONS (from grid)
% ON = 1; OFF = 0
It just outputed in the screen:

And my setting in the easygrid.m file is
if smooth_grid == 1;
order = 2; % Order of Shapiro filter (2,4,8)... default: 2
rlim = 0.35; % Maximum r-factor allowed (0.35)... default: 0.35
npass = 50; % Maximum number of passes.......... default: 50
end

What's more, while I run the model using this depth, it will blowing-up.

But if I use the depth from ETOPO5 to run this model, it is OK.

Who can you tell me what should I do? Why the easygrid.m just outputed that
Number of smoothing applications: 1
while I smoothing the depth at the second time?

I hope your help! Thank You!
