#750 closed bug

FRC_FILE set when no forcing file required — at Initial Version

Reported by: m.hadfield Owned by:
Priority: major Milestone: Release ROMS/TOMS 3.7
Component: Nonlinear Version: 3.7
Keywords: Cc:

Description

The code in lines 659–714 of ROMS/include/globaldefs.h defines the symbol FRC_FILE. Then in lines 5576–5589 of ROMS/Utility/read_phypar.F the model checks for the existence of the file(s) specified by the FRCNAME entry in ocean.in. The globaldefs.h code defines FRC_FILE if, amongst other conditions, either SSH_TIDES or UV_TIDES is set: see line 700 if SOLVE3D is set and line 711 if it is not.

However, tidal parameters are now read from special tidal-forcing files (entry TIDENAME), not from ordinary forcing files as they were previously. The current code fails when tides are required but with no other forcings.

The references in ROMS/include/globaldefs.h to "(defined SSH_TIDES
defined UV_TIDES)" in lines 700 & 711 should be removed.
