A colleague is trying to set up an idealized case with BULK_FLUXES, but without a forcing file. She's got all analytical options from ANA_CLOUD through ANA_WINDS, but ROMS still wants a forcing file. I believe the problem is in globaldefs.h near the line:

    ( defined SALINITY     && !defined ANA_SSFLUX)   || \

which should also have

      && !defined BULK_FLUXES

I'm following up on a forum post entitled NPZD_POWELL without SPITZ CPP option dated Nov 27 2013. This ​post discusses a bug that has gone unfixed as of January 14 2015 when I downloaded the version of ROMS I am currently working with.

To reiterate:

The option to run NPZD_POWELL without SPITZ flag produces an error in the phytoplankton growth rate. Perhaps make the SPITZ option activated by default as that follows Powell et al. 2006, delete the alternative code, and delete the SPITZ CPP option?

For example, in npzd_Powell.h replace the following:

#ifdef SPITZ
          cff1=dtdays*Vm_NO3(ng)*PhyIS(ng)
          cff2=Vm_NO3(ng)*Vm_NO3(ng)
          cff3=PhyIS(ng)*PhyIS(ng)
#else
          cff1=dtdays*Vm_NO3(ng)
#endif
          DO k=1,N(ng)
            DO i=Istr,Iend
#ifdef SPITZ
              cff4=1.0_r8/SQRT(cff2+cff3*Light(i,k)*Light(i,k))
              cff=Bio(i,k,iPhyt)*                                       &
     &            cff1*cff4*Light(i,k)/                                 &
     &            (K_NO3(ng)+Bio(i,k,iNO3_))
#else
              cff=Bio(i,k,iPhyt)*                                       &
     &            cff1*Light(i,k)/                                      &
     &            (K_NO3(ng)+Bio(i,k,iNO3_))
#endif
              Bio(i,k,iNO3_)=Bio(i,k,iNO3_)/(1.0_r8+cff)
              Bio(i,k,iPhyt)=Bio(i,k,iPhyt)+                            &
     &                       Bio(i,k,iNO3_)*cff
            END DO
          END DO

with:

          cff1=dtdays*Vm_NO3(ng)*PhyIS(ng)
          cff2=Vm_NO3(ng)*Vm_NO3(ng)
          cff3=PhyIS(ng)*PhyIS(ng)
          DO k=1,N(ng)
            DO i=Istr,Iend
              cff4=1.0_r8/SQRT(cff2+cff3*Light(i,k)*Light(i,k))
              cff=Bio(i,k,iPhyt)*                                       &
     &            cff1*cff4*Light(i,k)/                                 &
     &            (K_NO3(ng)+Bio(i,k,iNO3_))
              Bio(i,k,iNO3_)=Bio(i,k,iNO3_)/(1.0_r8+cff)
              Bio(i,k,iPhyt)=Bio(i,k,iPhyt)+                            &
     &                       Bio(i,k,iNO3_)*cff
            END DO
          END DO

With ANA_INITIAL, the model time gets overwritten:

ROMS/Nonlinear/initial.F:          time(ng)=io_time                   ! needed for shared-memory

so that setting DSTART is ignored. The variable io_time is set in get_state.F which isn't called in the ANA_INITIAL case. I don't see how INI_FILE can be activated with analytical initial conditions.
