Question about WRF physics for tropical suite

[William.Hatheway]

Quick question about the WRF physics suite 'tropical'

According to the users guide online bl_pbl_physics = 1 YSU; only works with sf_sfclay_physics=1
But for the tropical suite we are using sf_sfclay_physics=91.

Is the users guide's table just out of date or does it have an error?

Thanks

sf_sfclay_physics = 91 is an older version of sf_sfclay_physics =1. This is why YSU PBL can work with sf_sfclay_physics = 91.

Thanks for clarifying

sf_sfclay_physics = 91 is an older version of sf_sfclay_physics =1. This is why YSU PBL can work with sf_sfclay_physics = 91.

Does that mean that the current version of the tropical suite can use either sf_sfclay_physics =1 OR sf_sfclay_physics = 91?

 

[Ming Chen]

No, it uses sf_sfclay_physics = 91.

 

[William.Hatheway]

No, it uses sf_sfclay_physics = 91.

Okay thanks for clarifying that, I guess my request would be to modify the users guide to say that the YSU PBL can work with either sf_sfclay_physics = 1 or sf_sfclay_physics = 91
