wrf.exe crash when using the new GEFS 0.5 data

Hello Wrfhelp,

We used GEFS 1 deg to initialize WRF V4.1.2 and it works for months without any problem.
However when those data are replaced by GEFS 0.5 deg WRF starts to crash and returns the error which obviously related to the lw_physics schema.

we are using those data :
gep01.t00z.pgrb2b.0p50.fXXX
gep01.t00z.pgrb2a.0p50.fXXX
from : https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gens/prod/gefs.20200928/00/atmos/
You can find attached the namelists and Vtable used for this run as well as logs from ungrib.exe and metgrid.exe
Thank you for your help

I just wanted to add a +1 to this post, as I'm having the exact same issue as reported here when initializing WRF with the new GEFS data. geogrid, metgrid, and real.exe all appear to work properly, but then wrf.exe throws a segfault sometime within the first timestep.

Hi,
Thanks for brining this to our attention. A fix for this problem can be found here: https://github.com/wrf-model/WPS/pull/158
You should see the explanation, and then if you click on the "Files changed" tab, you should see the file modification. Let me know if you have any questions.

This fix solved my problem - thanks! I just recompiled ungrib.exe with this update and things are now running successfully.

Great! Thank you for updating the post.
