Standard_name_mapping not working

[ocecept]

Hello;

I am trying to see particles at the bottom of my domaing using z='seaflor', however I am using a ROMS forcing and I do not have sea_floor_depth_below_sea_level in my input file. So, following the Macondo exemplo, I tried to use my batimetry variable (h) using:

my = reader_netCDF_CF_generic.Reader('my_his.nc', standard_name_mapping={'sea_floor_depth_below_sea_level': 'h'})

And I got the following error: TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'standard_name_mapping'

I also downloaded the exemplo_macondo.py and tried to run it, but I got the same error:

INFO: OpenDriftSimulation initialised (version 1.3.2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "example_macondo.py", line 18, in reader_globcurrent = reader_netCDF_CF_generic.Reader( TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'standard_name_mapping'

I could not trace the problem!

By the way, I know I can create the sea_floor_depth_below_sea_level using NCO, but I am not sure if it is right to use sea_floor_depth_below_sea_level=bathymetry. Any clues?

Many thanks and thank you for the great working with OpenDrift!

Hi,

This looks a bit strange, since you are using a quite recent version (1.3.2). Maybe there are some modifications in your local copy of reader_netCDF_CF_generic?

You can check this with git status or git diff from within your opendrift-folder. You can eventually restore this file to the official version with git checkout reader_netCDF_CF_generic from within the readers-folder.

Hi, I checked the reader_netCDF_CF_generic and it was not changed. I also did: git checkout reader_netCDF_CF_generic from within the readers-folder as suggested. I got the same error.

But I just saw the new opendrift version 1.3.3. Downloaded it and now example_maconda works fine.. strange..

I will try my application setting standard_name_mapping={'sea_floor_depth_below_sea_level': 'h'} and see if it works.

Thanks a lot!

Oh yes, I see now that the standard_name_mapping was only added in version 1.3.3. https://opendrift.github.io/history_link.html So then it makes sense after all!
