Error when across the longitude 180

[marinekame]

Hello.

I am a ROMSTOOLS user.
I want to analyze the region from 170E to 170W across the 180E.
Therefore I set lonmin=170 and lonmax=190 in the romstools_param.m.
But, when I ran make_clim after make_forcing, the following errors occurred.
Would you please tell me how to solve this problem ?

Thanks for any help.

I am not a ROMSTOOLS user, nor is this the forum run by the developers of it. Still, I have run Arctic domains that need to interpolate over the full range of longitude. In general, you want to be consistent, say with a grid that has longitude values between 0 and 360, bathymetry with longitude values between 0 and 360, ditto the T and S fields you are interpolating from. It could just as well be -180 to 180, but still be consistent. I have Python or NCL scripts to convert my grid from one convention to the other, that being easier than converting SODA or whatever. Our MERRA scripts convert from the range (-180,180) to (0,360) as part of the download process.

Then you still need tools that can deal with the dateline or the prime meridian, whichever. For scrip, there's a periodic flag that needs to be set. It's probably true for any other interpolating tool as well. My branch of ROMS has a flag for dealing with periodic forcing when ROMS is interpolating internally, but I don't think the trunk code has it. Note to Hernan for his Arctic plans...
