Input files

[angelolemos]

Hi all,

I wonder if there is a limit of input files in the roms.in.
I have created my input files in the same way and included in the roms.in, as follow:

If I run from Y2008M10 until Y2010M5 the model works, but if I include Y2010M6 the follow error happen:

NETCDF_OPEN - unable to open existing NetCDF file:
�������� @q������
call from: inp_par.F, find_file

I have checked all files, and I created the Y2010M6 again in the same way of the other files, everything is the same. I found this link (https://www.myroms.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions) that says about some random junk in the NETCDF_OPEN, but I have no comments in this part of my code, and all my input files are in the correct folder.
Any advice about my problem?

Thanks in advance.

[kate]

Yes, there's a limit of 200, hard-coded in read_phypar.F as the dimention of Cval on line 95.

[angelolemos]

Thank you Kate,

I have 200 files from Y2008M10 until Y2010M5, and if I include one more the error appears.
Should I reduce the number of input files or there is some way to change read_phypar.F?
Thank you again.

[kate]

You can just change read_phypar.F, can't you? Change the 200 to 300 and you should be good for a bit.

[angelolemos]

Yes, I tried to change from 200 to 400, but unfortunately didn't work.

/src/ROMS/Utility/read_phypar.F
line 95

from
character (len=256), dimension(200) :: Cval

to
character (len=256), dimension(400) :: Cval

Maybe is necessary changing something else, I don't know.

[kate]

There's another such line in inp_par.F, function decode_line.

[fagundesmo]

May I suggest you merging all files in one?

[kate]

I merge files to have one a year per field, but I don't want to merge everything down to one file (as would be required by the French code).

[fagundesmo]

hmm,

so if I had 20 yrs of ocean BRY and had all those years merged in one file that could create a problem to ROMS (US version)? If so, that could explain many things in my outputs ahahha.

[kate]

If it's running, then you're good to go and I don't think you can blame large boundary files for any troubles.

[angelolemos]

Thank you Kate, my input files are working now.
