Part 4: Setup the FVCOM input files

This video demonstrates making input files for Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM).
I did not create the functions that I used in the MATLAB scripts.
All those functions are available in the FVCOM toolbox GitHub:
github.com/pwc...
Thank you to the author for making those files available online.

The 3 MATLAB scripts are avaible in my github repository: github.com/adenarayana/FVCOM

Where can I find input files (in tutorial video, 3:41, "3 MATLAB scripts") ? I couldn't find those in fvcom-toolbox.

[@madepython]

The '3 MATLAB scripts' shown in the tutorial video are not available in the fvcom-toolbox. I personally created those scripts as an example of how you can use the functions from the fvcom-toolbox. They serve as a demonstration of the toolbox's capabilities.

can you share those scripts please@@madepython

where can i get fvcom river and se , the two files that i need to put in model run

[@madepython]

The "fvcom_river" is the file you get by compiling the fvcom source code. "casename_run.nml" or in this video, I named the casename "SE", which is the fvcom control file that is included in the fvcom example folder.

Thank you very much for your answer, I am sorry that my questions may be a little too much, I am a beginner college student, I tried to follow your steps, and also used your script, and removed the river part, but it showed FVCOM Fatal Error! CAN NOT UPDATE TIME FOR INVALID FLOATING POINT TIME VARIABLE Stopping FVCOM FVCOM Fatal Error! Can Not Read NameList NML_CASE from file: ./CX_run.nml Stopping FVCOM, in addition, I would like to ask where can I get the tide_component data, thank you very much!

[@madepython]

No worries friend, I also faced the same problem when the first time I learned this FVCOM. I think from your error message you need to set the number of rive to 0 in the CX_run.nml file. For the tide_component data you could find it by estimation the the tidal component from sea water surface elevation data.
