[MITgcm-support] Increasing the number of grid points

[Joseph Schoonover]

So, I've successfully changed the binary files 'bathyPolR.bin' and 'thetaPolR.bin' and have changed the proper parameters in 'data' and 'size.h'. Upon execution, I get the following error:

" Unable to open execution environment parameter file "eedata"
STOP ABNORMAL END: S/R EESET_PARMS statement executed "

I'm not quite sure what this means. After looking under the rotating_tank portion of the manual, I do not see anything on eedata other than the fact that this files contains no customizations for this experiment.

Is there a particular portion of the manual I should look over?

Thanks,
Joe Schoonover

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; "><div>Dear Joe,</div><div><br /></div><div>the file that you mention contains the topography for the experiment, i.e. one water depth for each grid point. No wonder it does not fit anymore after changing the number of grid points. You need to provide a new one with the right number of grid points. </div><div>Do you have access to matlab?
