question follows after splitting bry and wind force file

[xwbin]

Dear all

My bry file and wind force file are larger than 2G,so I split them according time records.
I split bry file into 2 nc files and wind forcing file into 4 nc files.

I do not know why the model couldn't read the 'scs_bry2.nc'.
When I check the output.dat ,I also could not find 'scs_bry2.nc' 'wind_frc2.nc' 'wind_frc3.nc' 'wind_frc4.nc' in input files.
Is there something I missing?
You can see detals in the attachments which is about the .in file and ouput.nc file.

Plese guide me to the answer.Any comments or suggestions are really helpful to me.
Thank you!

[jcwarner]

there was just a recent update for this. is your code up to date?

Dear all,

I am obtaining the same error as xwbin. I am trying to run a simulation forced with wind, tides and a sea level imposed at the boundaries. If I force the model only with tides and wind, it run without problems, but when I add the bry file, it give me the error:

CHECK_MULTIFILE - Error while processing Lateral Boundary multi-files:
data does not include initialization time = ***** 00:00:00

***** 00:00:00 ***** 00:00:00 INPUT/mysimulation_bry.nc

CHECK_MULTIFILE - Error while checking input Lateral Boundary file:
INPUT/mysimulation_bry.nc
last data time record available is for day: ***** 00:00:00
but data is needed to finish run until day: ***** 00:00:00

I have tried to use different name for the time variable in my boundary file: ocean_time,bry_time, time, ... without results. I have been reviewing the check_multifle.F file but it hasn´t help me and the code has been updated to the last version using svn, but I get the same error.

Below you will find my configuration files:

Any comment or suggestion will be really welcome.

[jcwarner]

does "data include initialization time = ***** 00:00:00"?
what are the actual values of ocean_time in your mysimulatin_bry.nc

[flcastej]

Dear John,

Thanks a lot for your help, this error is the same that I obtained running the model force with tides. In that case the error was fixed adding to my *.h file:

#define ANA_FSOBC
#define ANA_M2OBC

I have been reviewing the time variable for all my files and I have some doubt about it. I am going to open a new topic to ask them. Once I have it cleared I will answer your question about times.

Thanks a lot.

[flcastej]

Dear all,

I have been reviewing my boundary forcing file and I realized that I set the time reversed (the end time was the start time) and the my simulation runs longer than my boundary file. Once I fixed it, my model runs without problems.

[xwbin]

Dear all
After checking your answers,I still could not solve my problem,why the model did not read the bry2.nc and frc2.nc.Is the update really helpful for my question and where can I get the update?
Thanks for your guys' help!

ROMS is quite picky about the format of the file. Do you have tabs in the ocean.in? I suggest getting rid of the comment on the line of your first forcing file too. ROMS will ignore comments where the "!" is at the start of the line.

Thanks for your help,there are no tabs or any comments as attachments showing.I only modify .in file,are there any other files i need to modify?

[kate]

Not unless you have a stations file or something. Did you try it? What happened?

Hi Kate,
Really thank you for your patience!I find the answer with your help.You remind me that the format is important.It works after I checking the bryname format as well as frcnameformat and deleting a blank line as the attachments showing.

[pjvidya]

Did you solve the problem?
I'm facing the same.
Kindly help

[kate]

Was it a space or a tab that caused problems? I'd get rid of any tabs if you have them.
