problems in ROMS tide simulation

[baipeng_up]

Hi

I was running a real tide case recent days, and I only provide only 1 tide forcing file for the ROMS, no initial file, no climatory file, also no other foring files. Additionally, I used TPXO7 data for making the tide forcing file. But, the program was always blowing up, and the result seemed to be good when the program had ran for 0.8day,then the result becomed worse and worse. I had tried to smooth the grid file, set the "DT" (in the *.in file) smaller, the program could only run for a few steps further and then still blowing up.

Does anyone get into the same trouble with me?

If you are using TPXO, why not extract the velocities and use them too?

Many of us have troubles with ROMS, but there's more than one kind of trouble. Where do the fields go bad and how do they look?

[geo_ytwin]

What is the horizontal resolution and minimum water depth of your model? In my experience, increaing the hmin will also help the model integrate forward. In addition, you can try to reduce the resolution in the begining. When the model can run smoothly, then more detailed work is needed to refine the model and optimize the results.

In addition, you can try to reduce the resolution in the begining. When the model can run smoothly, then more detailed work is needed to refine the model and optimize the results.

The horizontal resolution is 1/20° and the minimum water depth "DCRIT" was set to 3.0m.
Tanks for your suggestion, I'll try them later. What's more, I use the EASYGRID for generating the grid file, I set the maximum "r-factor value" to 0.3 in the *.m file, but the "smooth_bath" function can only limit the "r-value" to about 0.37, so I doubt may be the grid file I prepare for the ROMS is bad and could I know what tools do you usually use for generating the "_grd.nc" file? I appreciate it very much for all you replies!

Tanks for your reply! I just want to see the result only forced by the "Amplitude" and the "Phase"，I think we could get a good result only by provide "H" and "g", and I'll add the tide velocities later.

I plot the "Zeta" (free surface height) of the ROMS result, and I can see regular rising-tide and falling-tide pattern at about 0.8day, this pattern will last for about 3 modeling days and then the "Zeta" field lose the regular pattern and become messy, what's more, my model ran for about 11 modeling days totally.

Additionally, I use the EASYGRID for generating the "_grd.nc" file, I set the maximum "r-factor value" to 0.3, but the "smooth_bath" function can not be up to the standard, I doubt may be the grid file is bad, so what tools do you usually use for generating the grid file? I appreciate it very much for all your replies!

[kate]

But does zeta go bad everywhere or just certain places? What sort of places? Is this a 2-D simulation or could things be going bad in some other way first? Why do you suspect your grid file of being bad?

[geo_ytwin]

Sometimes I use seagrid to generate my grid. Generally, I will directly make my grid by matlab.
Also,roms_tools downloaded from IRD is the toolbox I used.

The zeta goes bad everywhere, and I checked the r-value of my grid, the result is too big. I haven't check other variables except zeta yet, I feel that it will be a long way for me to learn ROMS. I re-maked the grid file today, I want to get rid of the problems of the grid first, if the result was still bad, then I'll check other things.

Thanks a lot!

[LiuZHQ]

looks like you're adapting Flahter and Chapman to simulate the tidal current. To me, it is important that we provide tidal current (suggested by Kate) to this sort of OBC in Flather form (an "active" OBC in fact) to include both the tidal current and the tidal wave correctly.

Or, if you insist, use clamp for zeta OBC and radiation for all the other components. But, this kind of setup is bad and I can not grantee the resutls to be reasonable.

Hi all

When I simulated the tide in Bohai Sea, I confront a problem: the phase of M2 S2 K1 O1 is not good(fig 01), compared to other results(fig NAO_m2),there are large errors. I know the topography and bottom firction are significant to tide. the depth of Bobai Sea is used the newest data ectracted from digital ocean atlas, the boundary condition is forced by 4 tides (M2 S2 K1 O1 )ecactracd from TPX07 tidal data, then modified with NAO99 data, the tidal forcing i checed is right, and i have tried to change the quadratic drag coefficient from 0.0015 to 0.005, the results were no good. I am confused that is there any other parameters needing to change? Give me some advice, please, thank you.

Hi

From your post I know that your forcing file is generated according to the TPXO7 data. Recently, I was modeling tides of the Beibu Gulf(China), also, I use the TPXO7 data for making the tide forcing file, however the result is unsatisfying, so I checked the forcing file and found that are some abnormal values in some areas, so I suggest you should check your tide foring file first.

[anthena]

Hi baipeng_up, I know there are some errors in TPX07,in the model I used the amplitude and phase got from NAO99, but the tidal current components is from TPX07, is this the reason of bas simulation?

Hi anthena, why not turnning off the "UV_TIDES" in the *.h file and just use the amplitude and phase as the forcing factors, as far as I know, we can get good result by only defining "SSH_TIDES", you could try this, if the result goes fine, you can say the tidal current components derived from TPX07 is bad. Additionaly, you could do more contrast numerical experiment, this will help you figure out the problem.

hello baipei_up
i am also runing roms application about bohai sea,i meet the same problem which the result of zeta and velocity is bad due adding tide forcing.can you tell me how you solve it.And can you tell me how to analyze the amplitude and phase of tide according the zeta?could you send me a copy of your program? thank you very much!my email address is 2454518664@qq.com
