Other *.gr3

Implementing SCHISM model as part of NOAA's Integrated Water Modeling Projects

Generating spatially homogeneous *.gr3

In addition to the *.gr3 discussed earlier, there are other *.gr3 whose values are set spatially homogeneous in this model setup:

  • manning.gr3 (2D)
  • albedo.gr3 (3D baroclinic)
  • diffmin.gr3 (3D baroclinic)
  • diffmax.gr3 (3D baroclinic)
  • watertype.gr3 (3D baroclinic)
  • windrot_geo2proj.gr3

These *.gr3 can be easily made with xmgredit5 or SMS since they have only one z value. Take manning.gr3 as an example, in xmgredit5:

Alternatively, use this script in the SCRIPT folder/ to make all spatially-homogeneous *.gr3 at once:

[your_run_dir]$ ./gen_gr3.pl

The usage is straightfoward as shown in the first few lines of the script: gen_gr3.png It takes hgrid.gr3 as a template and fills the user-specified values into each *.gr3.
