Ocean Modeling Discussion

Dear colleagues, NSF NCAR’s Climate and Global Dynamics (CGD) Laboratory is excited to announce the job opening for a Project Scientist I in their Oceanography Section. This is a two-year position with the possibility of extension. This position primarily supports the Community Earth System Model ( ...

Hi Aryan, The following paper gives some guidance, based on the choice of spatial resolution, tracer advection schemes, Reynolds number and turbulence closures, when representing non-hydrostatic processes (lock-exchange and mixed layer instability) using ROMS. Marques, G., and T. Özgökmen, 2014: On m ...

Hi Andre, I suspect there might an inconsistency between the s-coordinate formulation used to create your initial condition and the one used in ROMS. This could lead to horizontal density gradients in your computations. I don't know why you are using Tcline = 0 and I am not sure if this is fine ...

The following error affects just applications using shallow water equations. lines 845-848 in inp_par.F (revision 726) It should be: IF (LsshCLM(ng).or. & Lm2CLM (ng).or.LnudgeM2CLM(ng)) THEN Lclimatology(ng)=.TRUE. END IF Cheers, Gustavo

I believe you made some mistakes when defining 'dye concentration' and 'dye concentration western boundary condition' in varinfo.dat. Try the following instead: 'dye_' ! Input/Output 'dye concentration' 'kilogram meter-3' ! [kg/m3] 'dye_, scalar, series' 'ocean_time' 'idTvar(inert(i))' 'r3dvar' 1 ...

Rafael, The following tutorial (see Section 5.4) explains how to write a curvilinear mesh with data (vectors and scalars) in a VTK file using the visit_writer library: https://wci.llnl.gov/codes/visit/2.0.0/GettingDataIntoVisIt2.0.0.pdf I read the netcdf file using Python and then I follow the above ...

Hi Rich, I've used Mayavi in the past, but recently I started using Visit ( https://wci.llnl.gov/codes/visit/ ) instead. The latter is also free, high performance, and interacts with Python. The following tutorial (see Section 5.4) explains how to write a curvilinear mesh with data (vectors and ...
