roms psi==2?

#1 Unread post by liyizhen837 »

Hi,
I'm running a climatological simulation using ROMS version:
September 24, 2010

The simulation is smooth, and I didn't see any problem in the grid mask file (mask value==0 or ==1).
However, in the output avg files, the mask_psi is ==2 for some locations. I am supposing this is just
an output error/bug, or did I do anything wrong with the setting?

BTW,I didn't see this problem when I use old roms version.

Thanks much,
Yizhen

Yes, this is absolutely correct :!: It has been in ROMS since the beginning. The land/sea mask of PSI-points is re-written internally in ROMS to impose free-slip/no-slip conditions on momentum. See routines ROMS/Utility/metrics.F.
