"exceeds dimension bound" error solved

#1 Unread post by xupeng66 »

Hi All,

I managed to solve the "exceeds dimension bound" error mentioned in my previous post by switching the dimension order of the variables (e.g., x_rho) in my grid file from (eta_rho,xi_rho) to (xi_rho,eta_rho). I am wondering if this means ROMS actually requires a fixed dimension order: (xi,eta) when using Matlab/Fortran to produce the grid file and (eta,xi) when using C to produce the grid file.

Any thoughts on this will be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Guangyu

Yes, that would be the case. In your post it wasn't clear which language you were referring to.

I use Matlab so I guess the dimensional order of the grid variables has to be (xi, eta).
