the simulation result is bad

[xwbin]

Hi,
I wanna run a model to analyse the South China Sean Circulation,but the results are realy different comparing with hycom data which I used for the initial and boundary conditions.There is no tide in my model,only the wind from Climate Forecast System Version 2 (CFSv2) and zeta from Hycom driving the model.
You can see the details in the attachments,which is the annual average.It is obviouse that the Kuroshio intrusion from western Pacific to the northern South China Sea is stronger than the Hycom data.
I doubt that there is something wrong with my cppdef.h file.Please help me check.Any comments or suggestions are really helpful to me.Thank you!

I doubt that there is something wrong with my cppdef.h file.

I think you mean "suspect" and not "doubt". The only thing I see there is signs of a really old ROMS version, nothing all that suspicious. I don't see anything all that alarming about your flow fields either, unless you know from data that you have way too much happening in the South China Sea. The only forcing is wind stress?

Thanks!
The only forcing is wind stress,and do I need to add the heat flux to make the model output closer to the hycom?

[kate]

To get the closest to HYCOM, you should use the same surface forcing they use. This would include heat and salt fluxes. Find out if they use a bulk flux formulation internally and do what they do.

Thanks,Kate.I will have a try!I suspect that I don't set the parameters well because most of them are difficult to undertand. Can you give me some advisement and help me point out which is obviously wrong?

[kate]

We know nothing about your parameters. Perhaps if you post them people can chime in with advice.

So what is your goal here? Are you running at the HYCOM resolution?

Thanks,Kate!I wanna to make my model closer to the hycom in order to run some sensitive experiments.And my model resolution is 1/10°.I forgot to paste the parameters ,sorry for that!I will post them later.thank you very much!
