CROCO and FABM

Hi

I’m wondering if any work has been done to make CROCO compatible with FABM?

Best regards

Hi Joe,

I looked into this few weeks ago and discussed with the CROCO developers. It hasn’t been done, and when I tried to start it myself I realised that it is not so straight forward as I was hoping since CROCO has diverted from ROMS to a significant degree and many functions in the source code have been reorganised.
So it is a bit of work but as I said to the developers I am willing to contribute if other people are interested and we have the support of the developers.

I know the developers of ROMS-FABM for Rutgers-ROMS and could arrange a meeting to assess the workload.

Hi,
This is great opportunity. Yes, I am interested in participating in such a meeting, and I hope someone from the CROCO developers can participate in this meeting too.

Hi,

In SINTEF Ocean we have been given a small internal funding to improve aspects of the ocean modelling and we have decided to spend part of it in making the FABM biogeochemistry coupler compatible with CROCO.

I have some experience with the FABM coupler on combining ROMS and ERSEM models.

Taking into account that CROCO originated from AGRIF-ROMS I was thinking to follow the same code modifications used in ROMS and identify the equivalent variables and functions that were modified in ROMS for CROCO.

But I hope I can have some help in identifying these variables and functions from the CROCO developers or anyone else who has some knowledge on how to port these modifications in CROCO.

Is @jvmcgovern still interested in this modification?
Please reply here if you can help.
Regards
Konstantinos

I would like to support this effort and discuss a path forward for implementing the changes needed. My email is joe.mcgovern@marine.ie
