[MITgcm-support] output U, V, W, T, S, and Eta files on the curvilinear coordinates

[Yi-Chih Huang]

Dear MITgcm-support experts,

    I conduct idealized simulations on the curvilinear coordinates and do
not need any tile.  At first, I did not include mdsio in packages.conf and
did not add " useMDSIO=.TRUE.," in data.pkg.  Although I got "NORMAL END"
in the log file without any error message, the output files were
only PHref?.???? and pickup.* files but without U, V, W, T, S, and Eta
files as in the manual.  After I added " useMDSIO=.TRUE.," in data.pkg, I
got the error message " invalid reference to variable in NAMELIST input" input,
unit 11, file scratch1.000000009, line 3, position 9".  I got the U, V, W,
T, S, and Eta output files on spherical coordinates without mdsio in the list
in packages.conf.  I have pasted the related files as the follows.  Could
anyone suggest outputing U, V, W, T, S, and Eta files on the curvilinear
coordinates?

    Thanks much,

                   Yi-Chih

3.5.1.1 MDSIO output files
The “traditional” output files are generated by the mdsio package. At a
minimum, the instantaneous
“state” of the model is written out, which is made of the following files:
• U.00000nIter - zonal component of velocity field (m/s and positive
eastward).
• V.00000nIter - meridional component of velocity field (m/s and positive
northward).
• W.00000nIter - vertical component of velocity field (ocean: m/s and
positive upward, atmosphere:
Pa/s and positive towards increasing pressure i.e. downward).
• T.00000nIter - potential temperature (ocean: C, atmosphere: K).
• S.00000nIter - ocean: salinity (psu), atmosphere: water vapor (g/kg).
• Eta.00000nIter - ocean: surface elevation (m), atmosphere: surface
pressure anomaly (Pa).
