Noah-MP Dynamic Vegetation option

[cassie_zhang]

When selecting noah-mp dynamic vegetation option = 7,8,9, which is using the input LAI data, is there any example forcing files? For example, if I want to use MODIS/LANDSAT monthly LAI as an input, should I use the same LAI for all hourly forcings within a month?

WPS static data includes LAI from MODIS. This is the data that will be used later when dveg =7, 8, 9.

The monthly LAI will be linearly interpolated to the specific time of model integration. With sst_update on, LAI will be updated.
