Using Bulk flux forcing in IS4DVAR

[hjsong]

Hi,

I am wondering if BULK_FLUXES is working for IS4DVAR.

I could see Adjoint/ad_bulk_flux.F, but it says

Code: Select all

#if defined ADJOINT && defined BULK_FLUXES_NOT_YET

'BULK_FLUXES_NOT_YET' flag means that it is not ready yet?

And, although it is compiled with BULK_FLUXES and running, I got this message in standard output file.

CHECKADJ - unsupported option in adjoint-based algorithms: BULK_FLUXES
REASON: not working.

What does this mean?
Can I ignore this message if it runs fine?

Thank you.

The model stopped when the adjoint model is about to start.
So I guess the BULK_FLUXES is not ready for the adjoint ROMS, right?

Thank you.

Yes, I believe that's what it means. Bulk_flux is a complicated thing, iterating to solve for an atmospheric boundary layer.
