boundary problem

#1 Unread post by Yomi »

Hello, everyone

I defined EASTERN_WALL in cpp.h file, but when I ran the model, it blew up, and the error was "unable to find requested variable: zeta_east in file: iput/frc_tides.nc". Please tell me how to fix it. Thanks!

What version of ROMS do you have? Some things to know:

* As of last fall sometime, ROMS wasn't getting it's boundary options via cppdefs at all, but rather from the LBC variable in ocean_xx.in. Does your ocean_xx.in have this section?

* ROMS hasn't checked EASTERN_WALL in a good long time, even when it was using cppdefs. If you don't have LBC in your ocean_xx.in, then what of the EAST* cppdefs are defined?
