ROMS/TOMS - Output error ............ exit_flag: 3

#1 Unread post by ZhaoTH »

Hello ROMS experts,

I'm modeling the changes on Antarctica from 1996 to 2015 using WAOM10. But I met the following problem,

I used the forcing files of the whole period 1996-2015 to run the model, the running stopped at the first stpe with the error as shown as the log file(Attachemen file 1: ocean_waom10_log_1996_2015.txt).

 ROMS/TOMS - Output error ............ exit_flag:   3


 ERROR: Abnormal termination: NetCDF OUTPUT.
 REASON: NetCDF: Invalid dimension ID or name
I tried to reduce the simulation period. And I found that only I didn't load waom10_nudge_2012(2013,2014,2015).nc, the running can continue. So I set the simulation period as 1996_2011,and rerun the model. It worked and the running stopped at the step of the year 2011,with output netcdf files and the log file (Attachemen file 2: ocean_waom10_log_1996_2011.txt).

But once the forcing files contains the nudge_2012.nc file, the running will stop in the first step with similar log file as attachment 1.

However, my colleagues and I checked all of my nudge files and look at the fields using ncview and attributes/variables names using ncdump -h command, we can’t see anything wrong with them. I even copied nudge_ 2011.nc as nudge_ 2012.nc (only changed the ocean time), but the result had no changes.

I have no other way to try, so I come here for help. Could you please give me some information on this? Any idea will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Meng

Your error might not be in the input files at all. It says:
DEF_VAR - unable to define variable: Tobc_in
in NetCDF file: /scratch/gh9/mx3818/waom/output_1996_2015/
Do you have permission to write to this /scratch/gh9/mx3818/waom/ directory? Does it exist?

Hey,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, this folder /scratch/gh9/mx3818/waom/ is where my waom model is located. I'm sure I have write permission. In addition, the output file path in my Attachment 2 is/scratch/gh9/mx3818/waom/output_1996_2011/,which worked.

Code: Select all

Output/Input Files:

             Output Restart File:  /scratch/gh9/mx3818/waom/output_1996_2011/ocean_rst_1996_2011_test1.nc
        Prefix for History Files:  /scratch/gh9/mx3818/waom/output_1996_2011/ocean_his_1996_2011_test1
       Prefix for Averages Files:  /scratch/gh9/mx3818/waom/output_1996_2011/ocean_avg_1996_2011_test1

In fact, I also encountered similar errors in my another tests (same forcing files):

Please See Attachment 3. test1_log.txt

Code: Select all

DEF_VAR - unable to define variable: x_psi
           in NetCDF file: ocean_his_1996_2011_0001.nc
Please See Attachment 4. test2_log.txt

Code: Select all

 DEF_VAR - unable to define variable: h
           in NetCDF file: /scratch/gh9/mx3818/waom/output_1996_2012/ocean_his_1996_2012_test1_0001.nc
Many thanks!

Best,
Meng

I see you are using #define PARALLEL_IO

That is almost certainly the issue. Try running without that and see if the error occurs.
