cold sst and temp is not varying

[mashinde]

Hi,

I am forcing ROMS with era interim 6hrly data for 1998. for one year simulation it gives cold ssts and temp is not varying. I don't know why this is happening. my cppdefs.h is as below...

/* Basic physics options */
#define UV_ADV
#define UV_COR
#define UV_VIS4
#define MIX_S_UV
#define TS_DIF4
#define MIX_GEO_TS
#define SOLVE3D

#define NONLIN_EOS

#define CRAIG_BANNER
#define CHARNOK
#endif
/* Open boundary condition settings */
#define EASTERN_WALL
#define SOUTH_FSCHAPMAN

#define WEST_FSCHAPMAN
#define SOUTH_M2FLATHER
#define NORTH_M2FLATHER
#define WEST_M2FLATHER

#define WEST_TRADIATION
#define WEST_TNUDGING
#define ANA_FSOBC
#define ANA_M2OBC
#define TCLIMATOLOGY
#define TCLM_NUDGING
#include "globaldefs.h"

i am using following variables from era interim.
u10m, v10m, t2m, msl, rh, swrad, lwrad_down and total rainfall

I also attached here with monthly mean SST for 1998 with era interim forcing. Please tell me how can I solve this problem. summer months should show warm temperature.

Thanking you

regards

You'll need to do a little more digging. Look at the stdout output file from ROMS to see the reports from GET_2DFLD when reading in the atmospheric components. Are they varying with the seasons? Have you output the heat fluxes as seen by ROMS? What do they look like month by month? Didn't someone else report something like this? Please let us know what you find out.
