how to save vertical transect in the model

Dear Friends,

I want to save vertical transect of ROMS fields in output nc file. How can I do this ?

Thanks

You want ROMS to only output a vertical transect, not the full 3-D field? It does not currently support that option, but you could hack the output (def_his/wrt_his or def_avg/wrt_avg) to do that. Much simpler would be to let it write the full 3-D field, a record per file, extract the vertical slice you need, then delete the full 3-D file. You could write a script that operates on file N as soon as file N+1 is created, running in the background.
