Ocean Modeling Discussion

Hello,

I was wandering if there is a flag for outputting or not the initial state (to the ocean_his.nc file for example). I can't see info about this in the .in file. Because I'd like the initial state not to be outputted.

Many thanks for your help,

François

Ok thank you Kate!

I'll check about hacking the output.F and defining the value.
Can you remind me what is the subroutine called to search the value in the .in file?

Hello, I'd like to plan several simulations, starting from a restart file, lasting typically 24 hours. I'd like to output a history file every hour but only for the 6 last hours of the simulation, because otherwise if I have a hundred parallel runs, it will take way too much hard drive space, 6 ...

Thanks Kate! Now it is working properly. It is strange however, since I let this LDEFOUT to false with the setups without tracer, and whitouth HIS or AVG file present, and they worked properly as well. Ah! I get it. I guess it's because I don't ask any HIS output (NHIS==0) with the other setups, but ...

Hello, I've a run already set up that works fine, with custom BC, forcing and IC. I'd like to add a passive tracer at one point (basically to illustrate, after a few days run, the error of the position of an object due to an error in the velocity field). I fetched informations where I could find it ...

Well it seems that the compiler is ill-defined. At this place: ; -c -heap-arrays -fp-model precise -g -check uninit -ftrapuv -traceback -free mod_kinds.f90 There should be the compiler (ifort, gfortran, pgi) before the -c. Check in your build.bash script that the compiler is well defined. Cheers ...

Thank you Shou,

This thread indeed gave me lots of elements of answer and comprehension!

Thank you for your quick reply. I guess I made a mistake in my previous header files then.

Happy modelling,

François

Hello, I was previously using ROMS 3.2 and defined in the header file the options, for example SOUTH_M2FLATHER and SOUTH_M2NUDGING for the south 2D-momentum boundary condition set to flather and nudging. Now using ROMS 3.6 and the new way to provide lateral boundary conditions in the ocean.in file ...
