    WRF- URBAN

    Hello Experts, I recently ran a simulation on WRF4.4 using SLUCM, initialized by ERA5 data, coupled with Noah LSM and the cglc_modis_lcz. Though my real.exe was successful, but my simulation keeps crashing without a specific reason, I also tried to run it on WRF version WRFV4.5 but the problem...

    BETR assignments by urban category (like AH, ALH, FRC_URB)

    I am a graduate student in Japan, sorry for my poor English. As the title suggests, I'd like to assign BETR by urban category. Although I have rewritten module_sf_urban.F and URBPARM_LCZ.TBL as in the attached file and run the calculation, only BETR is not loaded. I've already confirmed that...

    Stubborn error with CGLC_MODIS_LCZ: "WARNING, FRC_URB2D = 0 BUT IVGTYP IS URBAN WARNING, THE URBAN FRACTION WILL BE READ FROM URBPARM.TBL"

    Hi everyone, This error is similar to those reported in several other cases over the past year ('WARNING, THE URBAN FRACTION WILL BE READ FROM URBPARM.TBL' occurred., Problems running Urban UCM and WUDAPT LCZ, cglc-modis-lcz_100m dataset " WARNING, THE URBAN FRACTION WILL BE READ FROM...

    WRFCHEM/UCM simulation stops with sfc_urban_physics=1

    Dear community, I am running wrf-chem 3.9.1 version with sfc_urban_physics=1. But it stops at the first running time when dealing with domain2. It shows forrtl: error (78) in rsl.error. However, it ran sucessfully with sfc_urban_physics=0. I tried some tests. when 4 nodes ,per nodes with 64...

    How does the WRF BEP/BEM considers urban Anthropogenic heat?

    Dear community, To the best of my knowledge, I think the SLUCM considers anthropogenic heat by giving a heat source term to each urban category(e.g., 20W/m2 for subruban category). and the BEP/BEM calculate the heat emission from air conditioner (AC). My questions are: 1. Does BEP/BEM...

    Noahlsm

    Hello experts, I ran two simulations with sf_urban_physics = 0 and sf_urban_physics = 1 (SLUCM), I coupled both with Noah LSM, Please I will like to know how Noah calculates the skin surface temperature for both. I took a look at the module_sf_noahlsm.F code but i do not have clarity on it, I...

    WRF CHEM 4.4.2 -- Simulation stops when using Single Layer Urban Canopy Model (forrtl: severe: SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred)

    Dear community, I have been trying to run WRF CHEM simulation using the single layer UCM (sf_urban_physics = 1), like the title says. However, no matter what I try the simulation stops after some period of time. I have conducted successful simulations using no urban (sf_urban_physics = 0) or...

    Missing FRC_URB2D values over Cyprus using cglc-modis-lcz_100m dataset

    Dear WRF Expert, I'm running the model over Cyprus using three one-way nested domains at 12, 3, and 1 km, respectively. I'm considering the sf_urban_physics = 2 and the hybrid 100-m global land cover dataset with Local Climate Zones. To use this dataset, I followed the instructions provided...

    CFL error while running WRF-ARW

    Hello everyone, I'm running some simulations with WRF version 4.5.1 coupled with sf_urban_physics = 2 and bl_pbl_physics = 8 for three one-way nested domains for a month. Initially, I defined the eta levels with auto_levels_opt = 2, dzbot = 35, dzstretch_s = 1.3, and dzstretch_u = 1.1. This way...

    Failed run WRF-Chem with LCZ and urban canopy scheme.

    Hi all, I tried to run WRF-Chem with LCZ and urban canopy scheme, but it failed. The attachments are namelist.input, namelist.wps, and rsl.error.* files. Please note that: 1. I tried to run WRF-Chem with default land use and it was successful. 2. I tried to run WRF-Chem with LCZ land use...

    Green roof soil moisture

    Dear WRF community, I have a question about soil moisture in the green roof option. I would highly appreciate it if someone could help me. For single layer UCM (SLUCM), how can I change the initial soil moisture of green roofs? While green roof properties for SLUCM are specified in...

    Daytime temperatures in Clay in Soil texture

    I am currently studying the heat island of Bangkok, Thailand as part of a Southeast Asian urban climate research. This study uses WRF versions 4.2.2 and 4.3.3. Also, Noah LSM and Single layer UCM are used. I have run simulations on many cases, but the simulations do not reproduce the daytime...

    TC_URB vs T_2m

    Hi, I have run WRF with the SLUCM and I am just interested in understanding the variable urban canopy Temperature (TC_URB)? and whether the 2m temperature is calculated the same way as without the urban canopy model?

    [SOLVED] Segfault for WRF V4.5 with the new hybrid 100-m MODIS-LCZ dataset using SLUCM urban physics

    Hi, I came across segfault for WRF 4.5 using the new modis-lcz dataset under SLUCM urban physics. The segfault always happen at 1 of the 72 cores in Cheyenne. From the error log it seems that the segfault happens during avgflx at solve_em.F. I cannot pinpoint how it happens without any...

    Can we use urban 3D data in WRF

    Hi, everyone. Recently I have a question. That is, if I have a gridded dataset of urban building height. How can I use it when I run a WRF simulation? As I know, we re allowed to replace the land use and land cover (LULC) data. Is there a similar way to deal with urban 3D data? Now only...

    Where can I find "Urbanized-WRF" or "WRF-Urban"?

    Hello all, My name is Young. I'm a grad student who just started learning WRF. My goal is to analyze Urban Heat Island effect with WRF, and I recently installed WRF-ARW 4.5 in my Linux successfully i. I'm still figuring out the next step- preparing an LCZ map of my ROI and others that is...

    [SOLVED] Running WRF V-4.5 with the new hybrid 100-m global land cover dataset with Local Climate Zones and MLUCM BEP

    Hello. I'm trying to run the latest version of the WRF model by implementing the hybrid 100-m global land cover coupled with the BEP urban parameterization. I have 3 nested domains with 12 km, 4km, and 1km horizontal resolution, respectively. Unfortunately, during the simulation of the first...

    Error when using LCZ in WRFV4.5

    Hi all, Im trying to use the WUDAPT LCZ to upgrade the urban landuse in WRFV4.5. According to the recent update log, the lu_index from 31-41 is changed to 51-61. So I used w2w to generate the LCZ geo files and then modified the lLU_INDEX in the geo_em.d0*. The metgrid.exe and real.exe is...
