How to set the coordinate system (spherical or Cartesian)

[marinekame]

Hi all,

Please let me know how to set the spherical coordinate system or Cartesian coordinate system in ROMS.

Is it set Manually by options in ROMS setting files by the user ?
Or Automatically by the coordinate system used in the input NetCDF files ?

Thanks

There's a "spherical" flag that the model reads from the grid file or from ana_grid.h. Most analytic cases have spherical=.false. but BENCHMARK has it set to .true.
