:D The good news: Tarandeep Kalra and I successfully installed ROMS (COAWST version) in the bash console of Windows 10. My version of Ubuntu in my bash window is not the latest (16.10 or higher is now available). csherwood@IGSAGIEGWSCSH10:/mnt/d/u/sed_toy$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available ...

As far as I know, LTRANS is still a good approach for post-processing ROMS output to track dynamic particles.
The original developer, and probably the best contact, is Elizabeth North at enorth@umces.edu.
See her web page at: http://www.umces.edu/hpl/people/enorth

Hi Mark and Bene, Unless things have changed, the NC_CONFIG macro is not very smart, and doesn't actually search for installed versions of NetCDF...it just assumes the netCDF files are in the location associated with the NC_CONFIG macro. Thus, if you have multiple netCDF installations, or have just ...

Answering my own question, with thanks to John Wilkin (who showed it to me) and John Warner (who found the key issue for bbl simulations: #undef splines ). You can use atmospheric pressure in ana_pair to impose a horizontal pressure gradient. Use it to make the dp/dx you want, recalling that in ...

This question demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of how ROMS steps tracers. We are developing a floc model that moves mass from one suspended-sediment tracer class to another. This is a zero-dimensional calculation, performed at every i,j,k location, and integrated over one baroclinic ...

I'd like to be able to simulate steady, uniform open-channel flow efficiently, and get the same results that 1DV models get for turbulence, stress, and velocity profiles when forced with a sloping sea surface. Small periodic domains (sed_toy, bio_toy) with body force or surface stresses don't ...

All, We ran into some compiler-specific issues using LTRANS this winter, and they were largely resolved by Elizabeth North and Ian Mitchell. I will forward the link to this thread to them and suggest they respond, but in the meantime, contact them for the latest guidance: Ian Mitchell <imitchell@hpl ...

I think Mark's suggestion about adding the -lnetcdff library might have gotten lost in the noise. You have to do that. Here is my CYGWIN-gfortran.mk file, which I keep in ../my_ROMS_compilers. I point to that directory in by build.bash file, with: export MY_ROMS_COMPILER=/home/csherwood/src/my_ROMS ...

csherwood

It is weird that putting the full path name in did not fix the problem. The .f90 files are in the ./Build directory: they are made when the C pre-processor program is run on the .F files, and are a good place to look to see what code is actually included after all of the #ifdef commands are resolved ...

csherwood

John, I did an svn update (just to make sure we were working on the same code) and copied the build.bash, .in and .h files to a project dir, modified build.bash, and built the estuary test case. Putting this in the .in file: VARNAME = ${HOME}/src/my_roms/ROMS/External/varinfo.dat does not work for ...

csherwood

I see a couple things that are either typos or mistakes. The executable is oceanS (note uppercase S). The input file you should be piping to that is ocean_estuary_test.in, not sediment_estuary_test.in (that file should be specified in ocean_estuary_test.in). Unless you have reason to change it, best ...

csherwood

nc-config is great...but one caution: if you have done multiple attempts...especially unsuccessful attempts...at building or installing the netcdf libraries, you may have more than one nc-config script around, and you'll get the results from the first one encountered on your path. I don't think nc ...

I have used LTRANS with ROMS, and worked with E. North as she developed / applied LTRANS 2 to ROMS runs. The benefits of LTRANS are that it has alot of options for particle behavior, and it is well tested and pretty easy to use. The downside is that the UMaryland version it is not (yet) parallelized ...

Hi John,

I am using it for test cases and at MVCO.

Hi MK, The cohesive routines are not in the main branch of ROMS yet, but they are available in private branches of the CSTMS respository. Use svn to grab the most up-to-date versions (which are not totally compatible with the newest version of ROMS) from: https://www.myroms.org/svn/cstm/branches/crs ...

Update : A simple case (no waves or sediment transport) with the smoothed grid (see note below) now runs to completion, with a tidal range of ~4 m. Neil Ganju suggested changing the s-levels (He da man!). New values are: theta_s = 1; theta_b = .8, tcline = 0. In addition, we switched from UV_QDRAG ...

csherwood

Update on this problem: another run, with DCRIT increased to 0.5 m and tiling switched runs a little longer, and blows up in a different spot (steep channel edge as water level is rising). The location is not close to a tiling boundary.

csherwood

I have been trying to solve a blow-up with wetting and drying. The bathymetry has terrible metrics, according to the output: Maximum grid stiffness ratios: rx0 = 1.960000E+02 (Beckmann and Haidvogel) rx1 = 1.466021E+04 (Haney) However, I don't think this is the problem. For one thing, I am not sure ...

Kate -

Nothing specific. The USGS Coastal and Marine Program has provided in-kind support as salaries of ROMS and CSTMS contributors and smaller contributions to support travel and workshops.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Kate,

The USGS should be mentioned as ROMS supporters, as should the National Ocean Partnership Program.

Cheers, Chris

Passive tracers will work fine if all of the isotopes have the same initial age and are not decay products of other isotopes you are modeling. If that is the case, you can decay them all after the ROMS run during post processing.

Nevermind. It had nothing to do with the paths, or at least not the paths of the object files. I needed mspdb80.dll on the path. I am so lame, I can't even figure out how to ensure the .dll is on the path when the linker is invoked, so I put a copy right in the top directory with the makefile. (I am ...

[rant] Downloaded the new CSTM trunk, and tried to build it on Cygwin with ifort. The first problem I encountered looked like: ... mod_strings.f90(85) : Error: This name does not have a type, and must have an explicit type. [IA32] character (len=80) :: my_fc = ""/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel ...

I am developing some code that will eventually be included in ROMS, but right now, I am compiling and testing outside the ROMS environment. To make life easier later, I want to write the code using ROMS code conventions. So: 1) Can I (should I) use intrinsic array operators like integer :: IMAX ...

csherwood

Hi Stef, The new version of ROMS has a directory structure that reduces the need for changing code with each application. Unless you are really developing new components of the model, you can work by updating the from the main repository...in fact, this would keep you in closer touch with any bug ...

csherwood

It looks like you have more than one TS advection scheme enabled...undefine all except for Also, try it without sediment density effects turned on first...and do a sanity check to make sure your water + sediment density is not ridiculous...you might have to ramp it more gently over several time ...

csherwood

After watching the successes and frustrations of Hernan, John, and others as they worked to release ROMS 3.0, it is obvious that the collaboration technology, or our application of it, is probably not yet optimized. Over the next year, we should think about what method(s) would be easiest and most ...

csherwood

That doesnt work if stratigraphy or limited sediment is enforced. Imagine a cell with only a little available sediment in the top layer...say 1 mm...(for real geologic reasons, not numerical reasons). A big resuspension event strips the bed and puts everything is suspension...and morph factor is 10 ...

csherwood

Here is my understanding of the problem: the morph factors (in ROMS and D3D) act on the erosion or deposition rates...so at the end of a time step, they deposit or erode X times the amount calulated by the model (call that F for flux). This causes bed elevation changes that are X times greater, so ...

csherwood

I disagree with Liz...the vertical advection scheme is awesome and can run at 5 - 10 x CFL. However, the horizontal advection scheme may be the problem...try using MPDATA, which is positive definate.

csherwood

In trying to regenerate the numbers seagrid comes up with, I found that there are inconsistencies in the earth radii being used. In ROMS (mod_scalars.F) ! Eradius Earth equatorial radius (m). real(r8) :: Eradius = 6371315.0_r8 ! m In earthdist.m (seagrid's routine for calculating spherical distances ...

csherwood

I remember somebody (either John Warner or Hernan) saying the rivers should be put into the top layer. Maybe they can help us with a primer on how to do rivers.
