New Year TRAPS Update | Weekly Research Update

Over the past several weeks I improved tiny river code and attempted a yearlong LiveOcean-with-TRAPS run (Birch Bay WWTP omitted). The yearlong run crashed on February 19th (2021). The cause of failure appears to be related to another point source. I am suspecting that there is a problem with the way I have implemented the point sources. Already I have identified one bug in the point source code. More details are provided below. River code improvements For a while I thought that tiny rivers were causing ROMS to crash. This turned out not to be true. However, the misunderstanding gave me an opportuntity to improve tiny river code. The LO_traps repo is up-to-date with all of these improvements. Verification of tiny river directi

Nice write up. Some questions:

In Figs. 3 and 4 the units of NO3, NH4 and DO are mg/L, but ROMS expects mmol/m3. Was this conversion done?

In Fig. 5 I don't understand the placement of the symbols indicating the river and WWTP. Shouldn't the WWTP be in the center of a w-cell? Note that to plot a grid cell using pcolormesh you should give it coordinates for the box edges (hence with arrays one larger in both dimensions than those for the property itself).
