Not Enough Soil Levels in Middle of Ocean Run

Hello,
I am trying to get WPS and WRF set up to simulate a storm in the middle of the ocean, as in attached.
When I get to running real.exe, it throws the fatal error:
/Not enough soil temperature data for Noah LSM scheme/
I can see in the logs I generate while running WPS that the ERA5 input data files do have SOILHGT and related soil parameters, and my WPS/WRF tools run perfectly fine over CONUS. It's only this offshore domain that is causing problems (NOTE: I originally thought it was a dateline issue, so I moved the domain to keep it in the western hemisphere).

I think that the problem is specifically with d03, as it does not intersect any land. Does someone have advice on what I might try to get WPS to provide the soil data needed for WRF to run, or another workaround?

Thank you.

Hi,
Apologies for the delay in response. If you haven't solved this yet, will you attach the namelist.input file and the wrf error log(s)? If you have several rsl* files, please package those together in a single *.tar file and attach that.

Will you also let me know which version of WPS and WRF you are using? Thanks!
