zero_phase_date

[pmaccc]

I am updating my system to use the most recent version of ROMS (my current version is from 2016, oops!). I am able to run the upwelling example on my cluster, but when I try to run using my realistic forcing ROMS appears to halt right after successfully reading the initial state from a history file, and (I think) right before reading the tide forcing file.

Earlier in the log file it threw this warning/error:

Code: Select all

  TIDE_DATE - Checking tidal reference date for zero phase: 
                 'zero_phase_date' variable not found in: /mmfs1/gscratch/macc/parker/LO_output/forcing/cas6_v0/f2021.11.10/tide0/tides.nc
                 given tide_start =     8035.0000 (days)
                 tide_DateNumber  =   727564.0000 (1992-01-01 00:00:00)

The variable zero_phase date was not in the earlier version of varinfo.dat. My question is, is it required?

Thanks, parker

Yes, you need to update varinfo.dat. For more information about that specific update check the following trac ticket.
