I am trying to run simulations with coupling WRF atmospheric model with a mixed-layer ocean model. Here is the change I made in the namelist.input. I switched on sf_ocean_physics by setting "sf_ocean_physics = 1". For the initial mixed-layer depth, I tried two different values, one with oml_hml0 = 50 (default value in the namelist) and oml_hml0 = 0 ( oml is initialized with climatological ocean mixed depth, according to the README.namelist. Both runs finished without problems. Yet when I check the mixed layer depth, SST and TSK for both runs, it seems like there is something wrong with the results.
1. For the oml_hml0 = 50: The value of mixed-layer depth changed but the SST and TSK values didn't change during the 72-h hour simulation.
2. For the oml_hml0 = 0: the initial value of mixed-layer depth is 0, not climatological value as described in the README.namelist. The SST didn't change during the simulation but TSK did.

Hi Chen Hua,
Please let me know which version of WRF you are running. Have you made any changes in the standard WRF?
