I want to make a run in which the turbulent mixing will be turned off. How to achieve that?

Thanks

I just found it was used for this purpose:

Can LTRANS be used to simulate oil spill trajectory and fate?

Is there a recommended idt value, maybe depending on the spatial resolution?

Yes, changing the time step seems to have solved the problem. Thanks!

Hi, I was running LTRANS and came across the problem of "jumped over a u element" or "jumped over a v element" problem (error info listed below) " Previous Location: x: -7221945.47253313 y: 2073598.67415 247 lon: -64.8772335292822 lat: 18.3081033479963 Current Location: x: -7221948.21037701 y ...

Is there an article I can cite for the floats trajectories module in ROMS?

Thanks,

Can the latest version of COAWST run a coupled run with WRF moving nest grid?

Thanks.

Kakearney,

Can you describe what do you exactly mean by the "contact file"? Is it the nested grid file?

Thanks,
Fanqing

I am running ROMS with a small nested domain embedded in a larger parent domain. on the east boundary of the nested domain, some perturbation grows gradually and eventually become too big, and the model blows up. The perturbation is fed back into the parent domain. So the problem can be see on both ...

John,

I sent it again, one minutes ago. Could you please check?
Thanks for your patience.

John,

I sent you an Email on Dec 2 2012. Could you please check if you have received it.
I am interested in how the ROMS-SWAN is coupled.

Thanks,
BSW

Thank you. One of the situations when the SST is needed, is when doing air sea coupling, you need to send SST to the atmospheric model.

Since vertically the potential temperature is on the "RHO" levels, for which the Nth level is not exactly the ocean surface. How to get the potential temperature at the ocean's very surface ? Can I set up the vertical coordinate so that the top level z_r=0 too (like z_w) ?
