[MITgcm-support] Re : Query regarding "exf package".

[himansu pradhan]

hi MITgcm users,

A doubt to clarify

My u/v-windstress file is of one time slice (157 * 133) . This is what i
was using in "data" file .
*******data******
 &PARM03
 startTime=0,
 endTime=864000,
 deltaT=10.0,
 abEps=0.1,
# momDissip_In_AB=.FALSE.,
 pChkptFreq=432000,
# chkptFreq=432000,
 dumpFreq=21600,
 &
# Input datasets
 &PARM05
 bathyFile='top_MOD.bin',
 hydrogThetaFile='15lvlT_may.bin',
 hydrogSaltFile='15lvlS_may.bin',
# zonalWindFile='pUstress.bin',
# meridWindFile='pVstress.bin',
&
but when i use the SAME u/v- windstress file (157*133) in "data.exf" . The
model didnot run ..!!!!!!!!
# *********data.exf************
# External Forcing Data
# *********************
 &EXF_NML_01
 exf_iprec         = 64,
 readstressOnAgrid=.TRUE.,
 useExfCheckRange=.FALSE.,
 &
 &EXF_NML_02
 ustressstartdate1=20110101,
 ustressstartdate2=000000,
 ustressperiod=864000,
#
 vstressstartdate1=20110101,
 vstressstartdate2=000000,
 vstressperiod=864000,
#
 ustressfile  = 'pUstress.bin',
 vstressfile  = 'pVstress.bin',
 &
[....]

finally,
i created u/v- windstress file having 2 time slabs (i.e.
157*133*2)............ The model "runs" SUCESSFULLY for the total period of
intergration. .

my doubt is :

(a) why i need to give 2 time slabs (157*133*2)  in "data.exf".....???
(whereas, In "data" i use only one time slab(157*133) for the complete
period of integration)

Am i doing right here  ???


Thank you ,
