Lack of vertical movent. #355

salida.log

Hi, I am using a CROCO file with u, v, and w velocities and OceanDrift module. However the particles stay at the same depth. The w velocity is there, so it should be read and used by default, isn't it?

Log attached for details.

The log doesn't say whether your croco file contains w, but you are using OceanDrift v1.2.3, which is a 2D model. If you were using OceanDrift3D instead, you should get vertical movement as well.

However, from version 1.3.0, OceanDrift3D has been merged into OceanDrift, which is now a 3D-model, where vertical motion can be disabled if desired:

>>> o.disable_vertical_motion()
