I want Help with customizing WRF code for new surface parameter – where to begin?

Hey everyone,

I am working on a research-based task that involves tweaking the WRF source code to introduce a new surface parameter related to vegetation moisture. I have browsed through some posts here and reviewed parts of the Registry & physics modules but I am a bit lost on where to start effectively.

Has anyone here dealt with adding a custom variable that influences land-surface physics? I am interested in how to properly register the variable, pass it through the necessary physics routines and ensure it gets output correctly in the simulation results.

I have done some basic code editing in the past during a salesforce developer training I took but modifying scientific models such as WRF feels a bit more layered and complex.

If anyone could share guidance on which files usually need editing or any compilation pitfalls to watch out for, it would help me move forward.

Thank you.:)
