About imposing Holland Model in ROMS on an idealized domain

[CeeCee.X]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has the experience of imposing Holland wind field in ROMS.
I have an idealized rectangular domain (250 km * 350 km, resolution = 2km) with tidal forcing propagating in from the east boundary and west boundary closed. I created a forcing netcdf file using Holland model and tried to add it into my tidal simulation. However, since the netcdf requires realistic domain, I have to assign lat. and long. to my idealized domain. Now the Lat/lon of the four edges of my domain are 28.2-29.80/5.00-7.80. I also set spherical=T.
Yet, from now on, with or without the wind forcing, the simulation blows up at the first step, exactly at 10min40sec and almost at the same cell. I attached to figure to illustrate the blows up pattern from my restart file.
Here are my cpp option:

#define ROMS_MODEL


#define UV_VIS2
#define MIX_S_UV
#define MASKING
#define UV_ADV
#define UV_COR
#define TS_MPDATA
#define DJ_GRADPS

#define WET_DRY
#undef SOLVE3D
#define SPLINES
#undef BODYFORCE
#define DIAGNOSTICS_UV

#define ANA_INITIAL
#undef ANA_WINDS
#undef ANA_SMFLUX
#define ANA_FSOBC
#define ANA_M2OBC


/* define only one of the following 5 */
#undef UV_LOGDRAG
#define UV_QDRAG
#undef MB_BBL
#undef SG_BBL
# undef SSW_BBL
#ifdef SSW_BBL
# define SSW_CALC_ZNOT
#endif

#ifdef SOLVE3D
# define GLS_MIXING
# ifdef GLS_MIXING
# define KANTHA_CLAYSON
# define N2S2_HORAVG
# endif
# undef SEDIMENT
# ifdef SEDIMENT
# define SUSPLOAD
# undef BEDLOAD_SOULSBY
# undef BEDLOAD_MPM
# define SED_MORPH
# endif
# if defined SEDIMENT || defined SG_BBL || defined MB_BBL || defined SSW_BBL
# define ANA_SEDIMENT
# endif
# define ANA_STFLUX
# define ANA_SSFLUX
# define ANA_BPFLUX
# define ANA_BTFLUX
# define ANA_BSFLUX
# define ANA_SPFLUX
# define ANA_SRFLUX
#endif


And I also tried to the combinations of (Chapman + Flather or Claped + Reduced) for my east boundary condition, and for south and north boundary I used gradient option.
However, neither of them works.

I was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions to how to determine and solve the blows up problem.

Did you run the model without tide?

Did you run the model without holland wind input and put constant or 0 wind?
