Ocean Modeling Discussion

First, you're not actually using the command: ncgen -b *.cdl with the '*' globbing because I don't think that works with ncgen. You're probably using something more like ncgen -b myfile.cdl Right? Second, if you're getting a syntax error, it's because the syntax of your cdl file is wrong. ncgen ...

So I tried getting sediment bed properties (like bed age, porosity, thickness, mass) into the stations file again. No luck. Surface properties (active layer thickness at least) are being output to the stations file. However, there's nowhere to set any Sout flags for bed properties in the stations.in ...

OK. I was able to get it working, but I think I found a bug. I only had SSH_TIDES set, but UV_TIDES was not set. I don't think the cppdef logic is right in get_idata.F Line 180 of get_idata.F reads: # if defined AVERAGES_DETIDE && (defined SSH_TIDES || defined UV_TIDES) But this occurs inside a ...

Perhaps, you have a file protection on Data/Forcing/frc_tides.nc and this file cannot be opened for writing. Hcount is an integer variable and does not have a dimension. I have write permission. I did a chmod a+w just in case and put the full path in the ocean.in file and that failed to work. Could ...

Hi - I'm trying to use the new AVERAGES_DETIDE option in a simple estuary-like domain. The model runs fine without the option, but when I turn it on, I get this error when it tries to write out to the file: WRT_TIDES - error while writing variable: Hcount into tide forcing NetCDF file: Data/Forcing ...

Your error shows that make can't seem to find a file: makefile:436: ROMS/Functionals/Module.mk: No such file or directory If you copied over the entire Functionals directory, there's a sub-makefile Module.mk that you also copied over. I don't think you need that in your MY_ANALTICAL_DIR directory ...

One comment before my suggested solution - If you don't like vim, there's always emacs. There's a Windows version for both and they both tell you what line endings a file is using. I generally use emacs but switch to vim when I feel like it. Then again, whatever works best for you. Now to the meat ...

From my experiences editing Wikipedia, the discussion or talk pages are for meta-information, i.e. talking about the main wiki page. For example, you might talk about what sort of content would be on a page or if you should create a new page from some subset of a current page's content. They act as ...

This has been fixed by ticket #132 [ROMS Trac] [CSTMS Trac]
and ticket #134 [ROMS Trac] [CSTMS Trac]

Many thanks to Hernan for fixing the bug.

How do I get sediment bottom or bed parameters written out to the stations files? I turned on #define STATIONS, created a stations.in file, and set some of the Sout(idBott) parameters. I get water column values and I also get mud_01, mud_02, but I don't get any bed surface parameters. I also can't ...

I just did a test using the ESTUARY_TEST case. I changed these values from the original: NRST == 120 !Same as NHIS NHIS == 120 !Same as original NDEFHIS == 600 !5 records per file I then compiled the model with the initial analytical conditions and force quit half-way through ocean_his_0003.nc ...

At first look I can see that perhaps additional logic is needed if NDEFHIS is not a multiple of NTIMES. This means that when the execution terminated the multiple history files were not finished and more time records are needed to close that file and define the new one. Or the restart record doesn ...

I was going to submit this as a bug report, but I want to make sure I didn't screw something up in my setup. I tried to restart a ROMS run by changing these parameters from the original ocean.in file: NRREC == -1 LDEFOUT == F ! to append to existing file ININAME = (restart file) The restart would ...

Thanks for the information. I think I'll try using the AVERAGES files. This is an estuary, so I'm forcing the free-surface at the open boundary and not using the SSH_TIDES or UV_TIDES options, which means I can't use the DETIDE option unless I change my setup, right? Also, what variables are in the ...

How would you go about computing tidally averaged parameters from the netCDF history files? For example, I have half-hour outputs from an estuary model that was forced with a semidiurnal tide (12-hour, to prevent aliasing). I'd like to find tidally-averaged velocities and tracer concentrations. Do I ...

I think your problem is because you checked out the code from Windows and the line endings are Windows style. I've seen errors like this before when I've checked out from a Windows machine onto a shared-drive and tried to run on a Unix/Linux box. It's pretty cryptic and a pain to debug. You can use ...

After I applied the command 'dos2unix', there are still some error messages: Did you get every text file? Besides the .F files there are all the makefiles in the Compiliers directory, the main makefile, the varinfo.dat file, and probably a number more. I recomend using a unix or a cygwin version of ...

Re: svnversion - It shouldn't be necessary to have svnversion on a system to compile the code. The make file will continue if svnversion fails and will try to find the version of the code using a grep command (I think...). Without svnversion, you'll get an error, but the compilation process will ...

I haven't used IDV much, but maybe the NetCDF operators can help. They can do some simple operations and tend to be much quicker than the Matlab interface.

Look for the documentation here:

Aaron - Whether emacs enters a tab or spaces is determined by the mode you're in. Opening a .F or .f90 file should put you in Fortran or F90 mode automatically. When you hit tab in this mode, emacs should indent appropriately and spaces, not a tab, should be entered. Also, opening the .h files ...
