unexpected cold water

#1 Unread post by guyz »

hello every one, i am freshman to ROMS, and I am trying to do some simulation of coastal upwelling. Few days ago I did a simulation, unexpected cold water shows up in my result.
about my configuration:
a rectangular study area with four open boundaries,
no heat flux, uniform wind stress blowing westward,
flat bottom with 75m depth.
and my cpp file

#define SOLVE3D
#define UV_ADV

# define NORTH_M3NUDGING

i do not know any more information need to be given.
attached is surface temperature, the unexpected cold water are circled using black circle.

can anyone tell me the reason causing the unexpected cold water

You have both radiation and nudging for the M3 fields. I have always used the same for T, and provided some value for the outside. Otherwise, what is it going to use when it thinks there is inflow in the radiation condition? Do you have some external values you can provide? It might help.

Dear kate, many thanks for you reply.

I have both radiation and nudging for T too, but i think the expected cold water maybe come from the nudging effect, so i turn it off, but the cold water are still there.

i am not clear about "provided some value for the outside", do you mean the boundary condition? in my configuration, both the boundary conditon (T and S)and inintial condition come from the same data file
