FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: <stdin> LINE: 3062 grid%tsk unreasonable using GFS data

Hi all,
While running real.exe I'm facing an error.
in rsl.error.0000 -->

d01 2017-11-29_00:00:00 No average surface temperature for use with inland lakes
Assume Noah LSM input
-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: <stdin> LINE: 3062
grid%tsk unreasonable
-------------------------------------------
I am using GFS data.
Here I attach the rsl.error.0000, namelist.input, and met_em.d01.2017-11-29_00:00:00.nc


Can anyone help me please to solve this error?

 &domains
 time_step                           = 10,

Right now you are using a 10second time step with a grid domain size of 27km.

I would look at this tutorial and see if changing your namelist up slightly might help solve your problems.

WRF Namelist.input Best Prac

It seems like a landmask issue.
Where did you get GFS data for this case?

@Ming Chen
Thank you for your reply.
I downloaded gfs data from here
Catalog https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/thredds/catalog/model-gfs-g4-anl-files-old/catalog.html
But later I tried to do it with ERA5 data also. Still I'm encountering the same error.
I downloaded the ERA5 data using the data download instruction pdf you posted here.
@William.Hatheway Thanks for your keen observation.
Let me try with 180 seconds.

Dear @Ming Chen and @William.Hatheway
Thanks for the guidance.
This can be due to the sf_surface_physics in namelist.
When I used

sf_surface_physics = 1,   1,   1

And I removed the line

sfcp_to_sfcp                        = .true.

Then the problem was solved.

The root cause of the error is below. You have to follow the steps below if you wanna use LSM.

The error was related to the geogrid.exe. The geographic data was not full. But the geogrid.log didn't show any error.
## Error
1. geo_em files show unreliable values for LANDMASK, SKINTEMP , SOILTEMP, HGT_M and ALBEDO12M variables.
2. It will reflect to met_em files also.
3. So real.exe cant read these inputs from met_em files, if you are using sf_surface_physics =2, 3, 4, or 5 (LSM)
## solution
1. Make sure the path to GEOG files is correct eg: /home/user/WPS_GEOG/ (Sometimes path starting with ~/WPS_GEOG/ won't work )
2. Re-run geogrid.exe, ungrib.exe and metgrid.exe

My error has been solved and here I attach the solution for the public.!
