When selecting noah-mp dynamic vegetation option = 7,8,9, which is using the input LAI data, is there any example forcing files? For example, if I want to use MODIS/LANDSAT monthly LAI as an input, should I use the same LAI for all hourly forcings within a month?

For a previous version of Noah-MP LSM there was a specific model configuration to run the model as a single cell model (forcing for one point location and output for only this point location) here is the link to this model...

Hello, I've used debugged WRFV4.6.0 version with initial and boundary conditions created using ERA5 data. I encountered several issues. Firstly, I got the error on RRTMG 'taugb3' as below, 1) Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. #0 0x00000000028e5477 in...

Hi I'm trying to set the prec_acc_dt = 60 (mins) on my namelist but when I get the results prec_acc_c and prec_acc_nc variables are zero. I checked the accumulated rain values and RAINC is zero, RAINNC gives precipitation I cannot find the mistake on my namelist, could you help me? Thanks

Hi all, I want to output EFFC (Cloud droplet effective radius) to the WRF-Chem output file. These are the steps I followed: 1. Added 'EFFC' in the MP_MORR_TWO_MOMENT subroutine in phys/module_mp_morr_two_moment.F file similar to rainprod/evapprod in line 575. 2. Added 'EFFC' in line 140 and...

Hi all, I will be using the aerosol-aware Thompson scheme to look at the sensitivity of clouds to initial CCN and INP concentrations. I was wondering if I am supposed to change the content of the QNWFA_QNIFA_QNBCA_SIGMA_MONTHLY.dat file to do that. If not, I would appreciate your insights on...

I'm looking for an ensemble technique, and I remember using it in other numerical models and I think it was also used in WRF, but I'd like to know the specific method. This is a method of using the effects of multiple physics processes in one experiment. Once dynamics is performed, it then...

Hello everyone, I am interested in precipitation output from WRF. Currently I am defining my domains and I would like to ask if nested domains of 15km and 5km are a suitable choice for precipitation? Additionally, I am unsure if I need to activate the cumulus scheme for both domains, or only for...

The variable radt is a little confusing in the namelist description above. So If I have a domain that is 9-3-1km should radt be set for 9 across all domains or 9-3-1 for each of it's domains?

Hi everyone, I am trying to reproduce this Thompson paper, "Explicit Forecasts of Winter Precipitation Using an Improved Bulk Microphysics Scheme. Part II: Implementation of a New Snow Parameterization," using the Thompson microphysics. My challenge right now is finding the right input-sounding...

Hello everyone, Sorry for my English. You'll see, I've run WRF with the default distribution of vertical layers (in my case, e_vert=35). For a better resolution in the lower layers, I set up the following distribution: eta_levels = 1.000, 0.998, 0.994, 0.990, 0.988, 0.982...

I want to make some changes to the MP P3 scheme based on some literature review I see in the phys folder there are four files for this scheme: module_mp_p3.F module_mp_p3.f90 module_mp_p3.mod module_mp_p3.o I started modifying the module_mp_p3.F file and left the others untouched. After...

Hi all, I am running WRF model (version 4.2.2) using aerosol-aware thompson scheme (mp_physics=28) with use_aero_icbc = .false. In fact, I want to use this microphysics scheme in the context of a very low aerosol number concentration. Thus, I modify the naCCN0, naCCN1, naIN0 and naIN1 in...

Hello all, I am currently using the aerosol-aware thompson scheme to do some simulation work. But I have some doubts. I want to compare the effect of aerosols on meteorological elements (such as precipitation and temperature, etc.), so I need to carry out two experiments, one with aerosols...

Dear Sir or Madam, I looked in the code of subroutine moist_physics_finish_em in module_big_step_utilities_em.F file. According to the code, moist theta is updated by summation of the following terms: pre-microphysics moist theta, theta tendency times (1+1.61*post-microphysics Qv) and 1.61...

I am seeing unusual tiling in the precipitation field simulated by WRF aerosol microphysics scheme of Song and Zhang, 2011, i.e., mp_physics = 40, which is used together with cu_physics = 11. I have 3 domains in my simulations and tiling is happening in all three domains. I am using WRF V4.4...

Dear WRF Users! How can I activate hail in Fast-SBM microphysics parameterization? I can run my simulations with graupel, using the same parameterization with 33 bins input. In this case, the hail is 0 for all grid points. I read that the hail can be simulated with 43 bins, but I do not know...
