Indoor air temperature and floor temperature in WRF-BEM

[mcjason413]

How to find the height of the indoor air temperature "TLEV_URB3D" and floor temperature "TFLEV_URB3D" from the output of WRF-BEM simulation?

In module_sf_bep_bem.F:
tlev1D(iz_u,ibui)= tlev_urb3d(ix,ind_bd(ibui,iz_u),iy)
tlev_urb3d(ix,ind_bd(ibui,iz_u),iy)=tlev1D(iz_u,ibui)

In module_sf_urban.F:
TLEV_URB3D(I,:,J)=tlayer0_urb(I,1,J)

So, TLEV_URB3D is calculated from the "tlayer0_urb", but how is this variable initialized? In module_sf_urban.F, the "SUBROUTINE urban_var_init" has "TLAYER0_URB", but I don't understand from where it gets the initial values.

Please find the lines below in Registry.EM_CMMON:

state real TLEV_URB3D i{umap6}j misc 1 Z r "TLEV_URB3D" "INDOOR TEMPERATURE" "K"
state real TFLEV_URB3D i{umap9}j misc 1 Z r "TFLEV_URB3D" "FLOOR TEMPERATURE" "K"

change them to:


state real TLEV_URB3D i{umap6}j misc 1 Z rh "TLEV_URB3D" "INDOOR TEMPERATURE" "K"
state real TFLEV_URB3D i{umap9}j misc 1 Z rh "TFLEV_URB3D" "FLOOR TEMPERATURE" "K"

Then type ./clean -a in top WRF directory and recompile the code.

From my understanding, this modification add these variables to output. Are their outputs on the same vertical levels with other variables?

Yes they are always on their native model grids both horizontally and vertically.
