About Soil Texture Data in WRF

[Liliputian_123]

Hello,

I would like to ask what is the reference year of the the Soil texture data in version 4.2.2 of WRF?

I found this and it says 2017.

CCPP Scientific Documentation: GFS Noah Land Surface Model

The readme file from this link Noah-Multiparameterization Land Surface Model (Noah-MP® LSM) | Research Applications Laboratory has no information on this.

Thank you!

Hi,
I first would like to apologize for the delay in response. When you refer to "soil texture data," do you specifically mean something that is specific to the Noah model, or are you referring to some of the static data fields during the geogrid process?

Hi Kwerner!

Thank you for your reply.

I am referring to the static files in the geog folder. Is there a documentation or README file for this?
I wanted to know the year when the soil texture was taken.
