Grid is not recognized by ROMS

#1 Unread post by aniskiewicz.paulina »

Hi :)

I have a problem with my grid file. In mu output file I see that model doesn't recognized grid file. My input grid looks like this:

Unfortunately in my output file I see something like this:

Here are the information about grid file:

I've tried to use this assumption:
https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/boards/1/topics/913

I used ncks function:
ncks -v h,lon_rho,lat_rho norfjords_160m_grid.nc norfjords_160m_grid6.nc

And my result was smaller grid file:

Code: Select all

 
dimensions:
	eta_rho = 451 ;
	xi_rho = 901 ;
variables:
	double eta_rho(eta_rho) ;
		eta_rho:long_name = "Y coordinate of RHO-points" ;
		eta_rho:standard_name = "projection_y_coordinate" ;
		eta_rho:units = "meter" ;
	double h(eta_rho, xi_rho) ;
		h:long_name = "Final bathymetry at RHO-points" ;
		h:standard_name = "sea_floor_depth" ;
		h:units = "meter" ;
		h:field = "bath, scalar" ;
		h:coordinates = "lon_rho lat_rho" ;
		h:grid_mapping = "grid_mapping" ;
	double lat_rho(eta_rho, xi_rho) ;
		lat_rho:long_name = "latitude of RHO-points" ;
		lat_rho:standard_name = "latitude" ;
		lat_rho:units = "degrees_north" ;
	double lon_rho(eta_rho, xi_rho) ;
		lon_rho:long_name = "longitude of RHO-points" ;
		lon_rho:standard_name = "longitude" ;
		lon_rho:units = "degrees_east" ;
	double xi_rho(xi_rho) ;
		xi_rho:long_name = "X coordinate of RHO-points" ;
		xi_rho:standard_name = "projection_x_coordinate" ;
		xi_rho:units = "meter" ;
Nevertheless, model still can not see the grid.
Did anybody have this problem?

Thank you for your response :)

I can't see what the error is from ROMS. What does it say?

When you say ROMS does not recognize the grid, do you mean it did not read it at all or that it gave an error. If it did not even read perhaps you have #define ANA_GRID by mistake.
