problem when activate AVERAGES_DETIDE

[Barbara]

Hi,

Has anyone encounter similar problem as shown below? It seems that ROMS could not write information into the tidal forcing nc file generated on Windows.

Code: Select all

 DEF_TIDES - unable to open tide NetCDF file: /public/home/QLX/tide/tide_YS_8_19700101.nc

 NETCDF_OPEN - unable to open existing NetCDF file:
               /public/home/QLX/tide/tide_YS_8_19700101.nc
               call from:  def_tides.F

 ERROR: Abnormal termination: NetCDF OUTPUT.
 REASON: NetCDF: HDF error

Your suggestions on how to solve this problem is very much appreciated!

Best,

Barbara

Maybe you did not compile NetCDF with a suitable HDF library?

Sometimes, it's tricky to compile NetCDF and HDF4/5 completely. Therefor, creating all nc files under format of "classic" or "64bit" which is "Original NetCDF format" could be an easier way to bypass re-compiling NetCDF and other libraries.

PS:
If possible, updating to a new version of ROMS will be the best choice. Since a certain version, "AVERAGES_DETIDE" does not add information into tide file but create a new one whose path is also defined on the file of Standard Input parameters (ocean.in)

Code: Select all
