Getting FVCOM

The FVCOM main webpage, hosted by the University of Massachusetts – Dartmouth (UMASS-D) has a wealth of information about current and past projects and news of upcoming FVCOM courses, workshop and releases https://www.fvcom.org/. The code is now hosted in GitHub an freely available for download https://github.com/FVCOM-GitHub. The https://github.com/UK-FVCOM-Usergroup repository hosts the official FVCOM branch with added support for running https://github.com/fabm-model/fabm enabled Ecosystem models.

Intel Fortran compatibility issues for older FVCOM versions

With Intel Fortran compiler versions 15 and above, the behaviour of pointers has changed and FVCOM experiences problems in some FVCOM modules. To date (2016-10-25), FABM has problems when reading boundary data for ERSEM. Other identified problems appear when running the nesting output (NCNEST). The problems manifest as FVCOM 'hanging' whilst utilising 100% of the CPU(s).

This has been fixed in FVCOM 4.0 and 5.0 (it is to do with initialising pointers) but that change has not been backported to FVCOM 3.x.
