LAI from in wrfout files are different from VEGPARM.TBL

[xuanlab]

I am doing WRF simulation with UCM of 3 urban categories.
And I found that LAI in wrfout files are different from that in VEGPARM.TBL .
For example, when the LU_INDEX is 31, LAI in wrfout files is 4.29,
while the range of LAI for "Urban and Built-Up Land" in VEGPARM.TBL is 1.0.
What is the problem?

Will you please attach your namelist.input file and let me know which version of WRF you are using? Thanks!

Dear Kwerner

I am using WRFv3.7.1.
Please kindly find the attached file.

Hi,
Can you run this test with the latest version of WRF (V4.5) and let me know if you're still seeing the issue? There have been quite a few updates to the code since version 3.7.1. Thanks!

Dear Kwerner
I tried the same simulation with WRFV4.3. And I got the following errors in rsl.error.0001.
How can I solve the problem?

Hi,
Can you try with Version 4.5 (instead of V4.3). If you still get a segmentation fault, please attach your latest namelist.input file and package all of your ouptut/error files (e.g., rsl.*) into a single *.tar file and attach that, as well? Thanks!

if you were running UCM, I wonder if you also experience the similiar issue?
I got the RRTMG longwave error for model crash.

(RESOLVED) WRF Single-layer, UCM crashed

I ran a case in WRFv4.4.2, which was a 15 km run using Noah-MP land surface model. Simulation for SF_URBAN_PHYSICS = 1, Single-layer UCM in the Southeast United States. Simulation started from 2015-08-02 00Z and plan to end at 2015-08-10 00Z The run crashed at 2015-08-03_14:30:00Z due to NaN...

Hi Kwerner
Thanks for your suggestion.
In these days, I tried the simulations by changing eta levels, then the simulation went well (although the eta levels are the almost the same with that of the default one).
However, the simulation results, especially the surface temperature, become lower than that without UCM. I think this may be the problem posted here (Latent Heat Flux Is Zero in Urban Land).
Then, I tested the simulation with sf_urban_physics=2 & 3. Although the simulations are still on going, the surface temperature seems reasonable.
Always thanks for your suggestion!

At present, I didn't get some problem directly related with RRTMG longwave error.
I suggest you try with sf_urban_physics=2 or 3. There may be a problem when dealing with emissivity of urban category when sf_urban_physics=1. Plese find the following post (Latent Heat Flux Is Zero in Urban Land).
