Ocean Modeling Discussion

Hi Dr. Fennel,

Thank you so much for the quick reply. Actually I really need your suggestions. Since the region where I will at last configure for 3D coupled model has deepest water depth with only 100m, so at present the experiments I set up by running 1D bio-toy are with different water depth ...

Hi all,

This problem has been confused me for a while and I am seeking for help here.

I was trying to configure a coupled 3D physical - fennel biology model for the MAB region, but the surface chlorophyll spatial distribution and the time of bloom always went wrong (comparing with satellite and in ...

Hi all,

I have two very naive questions.
The first one is about the units in ROMS biological module. With NPZD_Powell as an example, every variable (P,Z,D) should be set as nitrogen-based, i.e. millimole_nitrogen meter-3. While in variable.dat, there is also unit millimole meter-3. I am wondering ...

Hi Kate,
Thanks for your reply! I am using ifort compiler system and the version is the newest 3.6 (just updated yesterday).
Actually now the average file could successfully be generated only if I don't defining 2D variables, i.e. ubar, vbar, zeta. That's really bizarre.

Hi all,
Today I updated my ROMS version from 3.4 to 3.6, but when I tried to repeat an old case, it seems that with v3.6 I couldn't write out the average files.The log file always stopped at:

STEP Day HH:MM:SS KINETIC_ENRG POTEN_ENRG TOTAL_ENRG NET_VOLUME
C => (i,j,k) Cu Cv Cw Max Speed

0 0 00 ...

Hi, I just want to extend this question more: would it be possible to put several climatological files with different variables? To be more specific, since climatological files require 2D & 3D velocity, temperature, salinity and zeta. However, if the data set is too big to write in one nc file, I am ...

Yes. I also have the same question. Is there any more detailed instruction for heat flux forcing for ROMS?
Thanks!

Here is the second figure.

Whoops! The figures don't show up. I attach the two figures here. Sorry about that.

Hi all,

I am testing different climatological surface forcing for ROMS in our model domain (Northeast North Atlantic (NENA), focusing on Mid-Atlantic Bight area (MAB) ) but now I get some unrealistic results.

Since ROMS could be forced in two different ways: either by direct surface flux or using ...
