Error with surface physics

Hey guys,

I have successfully run the three WPS executables, copied the met_em files into my WRF/run directory but when I run real.exe I get this:

----- ERROR: sf_surface_physics = 7 AND flag_imperv = 0
----- ERROR: sf_surface_physics = 7 AND flag_canfra = 0


I attached my namelist.input file, the logfile for running real.exe and my namelist.wps file.

My guess is there are some inconsistencies between the settings in WRF/namelist and my settings when running WPS, but I couldn't find any possibility to set flag_imperv & flag_canfra

edit: I use WRF vers 4.1.5.


Could one of you help me with this problem?
Please let me know, if you need any more information for solving this problem.

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Torben

I just changed the value of sf_surface_physics from 7 to 5, don't know what exactly is the difference, since I am still at the very beginning to understand the program...
anyhow real.exe seems to work now, as you can see in the attached log.real2.

Unfortunately wrf.exe still doesn't work properly.
This is the error that is written to the logfile:

-------------------------------------------------

Tile Strategy is not specified. Assuming 1D-Y
WRF TILE 1 IS 1 IE 49 JS 1 JE 87
WRF NUMBER OF TILES = 1

I attached the whole log.wrf file hoping that somebody knows how I can make the planetary boundary layer schemes compatible.

There are several issues involved in this failed case:

(1) Although not strictly required, it is recommended to run ACM2 PBL, Pleim-Xiu sfclay and LSM together.

(2) Some combinations of schemes don't work, for example CLM4 cannot couple with MYJ PBL scheme.

(3) When turning on Pleim-Xiu LSM, Canopy Percent and Imperviousness Percent must be available. Unfortunately these two variables only have values over the U.S. No data are available for your model domain.

Please use other LSM and pay attention to the limitation of its usage.
