Index iswater vs islake

[kyle_r]

Hi,

For the options "iswater" and "islake" in the land cover index files, does WRF handle these land cover categories differently? If so, how? I am using NLCD 2011 as my land cover and there is only one water category, so I was trying to determine which option would be best.

Thanks

Unless you turn on the sf_lake_physics option, WRF will treat islake and iswater the same.
