[MITgcm-support] Offline model help

[Tongya Liu]

Hi MITgcm users,

I’m running a 2-D offline model driven by the surface geostrophic current. I have a month long set of daily velocity fields to advect the floater in the domain. 

data.off:

&FFLINE_PARM01
 UvelFile='input/ug',
 VvelFile='input/vg',
&

&OFFLINE_PARM02
 offlineLoadPrec=64,
 offlineIter0=0,
 deltaToffline=86400.,
 offlineForcingPeriod=2592000.,
 offlineForcingCycle=0.,
&

My forcing files are named this way: ug.0000000001-30.data & vg.0000000001-30.data.

data:
&PARM03
nIter0=0,
nTimeSteps=30,
deltaTClock=86400.0,

pChkptFreq=0.0,
chkptFreq=0.0,
dumpFreq=0.0,

monitorFreq=86400.0,
&

When I run the model, I always got the error like this:

forrtl: severe (24): end-of-file during read, unit 11, file /MITgcm_github/verification/floater/off_2d/scratch1.000000019, line 17, position 0

It seems the model can’t read the forcing files properly, but I’m sure I made the forcing files in a right way. I’m not sure whether I use the correct offlineForcingPeriod and deltaToffline. What should I do to check the problem and figure it out?

I would be very grateful for someone to help me.
