Ocean Modeling Discussion

Dear all, actually, I had a similar question last week and I'm quite happy there is some discussion about that. However, as this is really a basic issue of physical oceanography, I assume there are other posts concerning this topic, which I might have missed. My comment is more a fundamental one ...

Dear all, we saw also this behaviour of blowing-ups when only using tidal boundary conditions and reduced 2d momentum conditions. Usually, I use a dirty trick to reduce the instabilities. It is a kind of damping, which was also introduced into FVCOM to stabilize the model at open boundaries. It is a ...

Dear all, I hope I did not miss the answer to the following question inside the forum. We are using two-way nesting for tidal-flat applications. When comparing the free surface in coarse and fine grid within the same region, one can see a difference in dry areas. Whereas in fine grid, zeta meets the ...

Dear all, in the meantime I checked this issue on another computer platform with a newer version of the intel fortan compiler. Using the compiler version: Intel(R) Fortran Compiler XE for applications running on IA-32, Version 12.1.4.319 Build 20120410 The segmenttion fault does not appear any more ...

Dear John Warner, thanks very much for your answer and offer. I really would like to check the COAWST code as well. In the meantime, I found a quick solution to the original problem which is working but is still quite strange. The source of the error seems to come from several lines above when ...

Dear all, I started using the ROMS-SWAN coupling with the inlet test case. I could successfully compile and run the model with the nearshore_MELLOR05 option. Then I changed to the NEARSHORE_MELLOR08 option for calculating the radiation stresses. When running the model on 2CPU's I got a segmentation ...
