Abnormal termination: NetCDF OUTPUT

[Lee2015]

When I run a case using "mpirun -np 8 oceanM ocean_mexico.in > ocean_mexico.log", I got the following error. Attached is the log file. Thanks!

This is becoming a new FAQ...

NETCDF_OPEN - unable to open existing NetCDF file:

So, in the ocean.in file, did you delete some lines? Comment out some lines? Perhaps the name of the forcing file? Some other input filenames? For example, if ROMS wants to read a forcing file and doesn't know the name of it, it will have junk in the filename. With your options, it will want to read surface temperature flux and perhaps incoming solar radiation as well, therefore needing a forcing file or two. You can check globaldefs.h for the conditions that trigger the need for FRC_FILE.

kate, thanks! you are right. I delete a input file, but I forgot to modify the number of input files.
