SCRIP_COAWST error

[hato-hhu]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an ideal coupling experiment to simulate tropical cyclone. Therefore, the grid information of wrfinput_d01 and roms I obtained did not contain the latitude and longitude information. When I do three layers of nesting for wrf and move the nesting between the second and third layers, I need a scrip file. However, I generated scrip files that could not run m files (Tools/mfiles/mtools/plot_scrip_weights.m).

I find that the Total number of links in the output log file is always 0. Is it a problem with my wrf and roms grid files? The scrip_coawst program can always end successfully and get a scrip file, even though the file is wrong.

Thanks in advance,

This is the running log file

scrip_coawst_log.txt

[hato-hhu]

These are the in file for scrip, the grid files for roms and wrf, and the h file for coawst(hato.txt)

scrip_hato.txt
wrf-roms.zip
hato.txt

can you try scrip with just 2 wrf grids?

Thank you for your reply.
I tried it as you suggested, the wrf grid uses two domains, the domain_02 is moving, and the roms uses one domain, but the Total number of links in the output log file is still 0. And it also could not run m files.

so i downloaded your wrf-roms.zip, and the roms grid has all 0's for the lon_rho and all 20 for the lat_rho.
h is a constant 1000.
same for XLONG and XLAT.
please check your grids.

Thanks for your reply.

I want to make an ideal tropical cyclone experiment with coawst, so I designed an ideal wrf grid according to the practices of some articles, and obtained the corresponding roms grid according to wrf grid through the wrf2roms_mw file in tools. I will try to change the approach of the ideal grid file. Thanks again.

The article I refer to is Zhao X, Chan J C L. Changes in tropical cyclone intensity with translation speed and mixed‐layer depth: idealized WRF‐ROMS coupled model simulations[J]. Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2017, 143(702): 152-163.
