tracking over long timeseries

[fedeborile]

Hi @AntSimi, I would be very grateful if you could help me. I have performed eddy detection in the Mediterranean Sea using 36 years of daily reanalysis data from the CMEMS dataset. I am now attempting to conduct eddy tracking, but it seems the timeseries is too long. When running the following command:

EddyTracking ./tracking_ACY.yaml -v DEBUG

I encountered the following error message:

Exception: Several timesteps in grid dataset [ 86400 15811200]

I suspect that it is not possible to compute tracking on such a long timeseries. My question is: is there a way to compute tracking over shorter consecutive periods and then merge the outputs? Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Hi Federica, take look at your timeserie, it seems that some daily identification are missing.

>>> 15811200 / 86400
183.0

I guess there is 183 daily missing identification .

ran into the same problem today.

error message:

Exception: Several timesteps in grid dataset [ 86400 15811200]

solution: The error will occur if any expected data file within the specified tracking period is missing. So, check if all required data for the specified tracking period are prepared.
