[Ncep.list.wwatch3.discussion-group] Open boundary conditions for unstructured grids

Hello everyone,

I hope this email finds you well. Recently, I wrote the open
boundary conditions (netcdf format) for my unstructured grids (generated by
OceanMesh2D) in the WW3 model. When running the model with all 170 open
boundary points in one file, it shows 'Writing boundary data for time:
20180101 0 at 1 points. Max.: 5.7379'. I think there is something wrong
with it as I have 170 open boundary points rather than 1, and the WW3
results show the weird same wave heights along the open boundaries as well
(attached). However, if I separate the spectral file into individual files
with each one corresponding to one point (170 points corresponds to 170
open boundary files), the model works fine (it shows 'Writing boundary data
for time: 20180101 0 at 170 points. Max.: 6.3766'). I was wondering if
there is anyone who can help me fix this issue so that I can input all the
boundary points with one file? Many thanks.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please kindly let me know. Many
thanks.

Kind regards,
Jin
