Does wrfout have snow cover fratcion variable?
Noah-MP contains FSNO in snow albedo calculation, but it seems not output this variable in wrfout files?
Thanks a lot.

snow cover fraction is not a state variable included in wrfout. It is also not available in all the surface schemes.
FSNO in noahMP scheme is a local variable. if you need to output the variable, you will need to modify several codes, including Registry. Please take a look at the document here for helpful information:
