Greetings, is there routine like ECMWF forcing field method for GFS or WRF data.

Thanks.

There is currently no such function in this repo, but it would be a very interesting contribution.

Thanks, closing this now.

Related to routine for ECMWF, MATLAB based routine mentioned in #3, is there routine for GFS in MATLAB? A similar routine in Python is here https://github.com/martalmeida/okean/blob/master/okean/roms/inputs/surface.py

I am not aware of any matlab tool for GFS. In the roms-matlab repo (from https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/matlab, login needed) GFS is not mentioned.

If you have an opendap URL of HTTP link to GFS output (suitable from ROMS), you might share it here.

Maybe the reference data from this test would be useful if somebody wants to implement the GFS or WRF (or NCEP) model support .

Colleague of mine shared GFS routine matlab files in CROCO https://gitlab.inria.fr/croco-ocean/croco_tools/-/tree/dev_2022/Forecast_tools . It has routine for GFS download.

For your information, I implemented the ROMS.prepare_gfs functionfor GFS (using the NCAR RDA data archive):

https://alexander-barth.github.io/ROMS.jl/dev/reference/#ROMS.prepare_gfs

Finally, I did not use the code from croco_tools because it uses the rolling GFS archive (the NetCDF format of NCAR RGA is quite different for the rolling archive).
