how to make NOAH-MP working with WRF 3.5.1

[gverri]

Hi all,
I'm trying to work with WRF 3.5.1 because it is the only version supported by the coupler we are going to use for the first time.
I'd like to maintain NOAH MP land surface model (sf_surface_physics=4) as I usually do with WRF 4.2.1 but I got the error below:

INITIALIZE THREE Noah LSM RELATED TABLES
Tile Strategy is not specified. Assuming 1D-Y
WRF TILE 1 IS 169 IE 180 JS 374 JE 388
WRF NUMBER OF TILES = 1

=================================

The only way to make the wrf.exe working is to use NOAH LSM (sf_surface_physics=2)!
Thanks for any suggestion
I attached the namelist.input for convenience

Giorgia,

I would suggest that you recompile WRF with debug mode ( i.e., ./clean -a and ./configure -D), then rerun this failed case. In your RSL files, you will find the exact code and line, at which the model crashed. That might give you some hints what is wrong,

Please understand that It is hard for us to debug possible problems in all the older versions of WRF. However, users are very welcome to fix problems they found in WRF and post the results in the Forum, which might be helpful for others who may experience the same problems.
