Ocean Modeling Discussion

Hi I wonder if anyone may indicate literature supporting the 9 Jerlov Water types included in ROMS (types I, IA, IB, II, III, 1, 3, 5 and 7). I did not find anything about the last type. Moreover, the classidications I found were based on attenuation at a specific wave lenght and not at two bands as ...

Regarding the comment about CICE: "it seems not simple to have open boundary conditions with some lateral boundary forcing of ice conditions". This issue has been addressed already. I am currently running a coupled ROMS+CICE model for a large region around Svalbard that uses time-varying sea-ice ...

Hi I have been struggling with an error in writing the history file. It seems to be in nf_fwrite3d.f90 in the call to mp_bcasti. I have no clue about what is causing it. ROMS stops with a forrtl: error (78): process killed (SIGTERM). This happens the first time history is being written, after the ...

Hi Kate,

Thanks for your answers. No, I don't think there is a memory problem. It seems one of those difficult errors without a consistent pattern. I guess I will have to move further back in time in the repository I am using and see if I can be sure about when the error starts to show up...

Does anyone may clarify the meaning and implications of the log file message:

NLM: GET_STATE - Warning - NetCDF global attribute: NLM_LBC
for lateral boundary conditions not checked
in restart file: /global/work/pduarte/tmproms/run/arctic-4km/ocean_ini.nc

Hi, I am having the above run time error and I have seen already some posts about it but found no "easy" explanation for it. I am suspecting the model initial and boundary conditions files and I have a question about these. I am running a coupled physical-biogeochemical simulation and I added ...

Hi, thanks very much for the prompt replies.

Hi As I understand, the routine lmd_swfrac.F computes the fraction of solar radiation flux that reaches some specific depth based on the Jerlov water type and an exponential decay function for two wave length bands. In the routine pre_step3D.F the variable srflx is multiplied by the mentioned ...

Hi, Thank you both for your prompt replies. I already saw the paper by Gibson and Spitz 2011 and yesterday, while I was going through the code, I realized that the ice algal model was taken from Meibing but it was nice to have your confirmation on that. I also saw in the Gibson and Spitz paper that ...

Hi,

Does anyone have an input file for the BESTNPZ model?

Regards

Hi, I am new in ROMS so I apologize in advance if my questions seem to naive. I am interested in using the BESTNPZ biogeochemical model coupled with a 3D circulation-ice ROMS Pan-Arctic implementation. I have chosen BESTNPZ because it includes ice algae. I tried to find some literature about it and ...

Hi, I am just starting with ROMS and I am mostly interested in coupled physical-biogeochemical models. When running ROMS, is it only the main program that cycles through all grid cells and different tiles, when multiprocessing is used? Do the subroutines that calculate biological processes need to ...
