NOAH LSM version

[shaider2]

HI all,
I am using WRF 4.5.2. It will nice if someone can suggest which version of NOAH LSM this version has

 

[William.Hatheway]

As far as I know it's 5.0.0

LSM 5.0.0 was released in May 2023 and WRF 4.5.2 was released in Dec 2023.

I assume it would be the latest

I'm not sure this is correct. Noah LSM has not been updated for many years except occasionally for bug fixes. The latest Noah LSM document from NCAR/RAL site has a version number 3.4.1. NCAR/RAL is where we get our WRF updates. See Unified Noah LSM | Research Applications Laboratory

Thank you for the correction

How would we go about adding the latest noah mp to the wrf files?
