Hello
I am currently running version 4.2.1 of the WRF model with the lake model turned on. I would like to modify the total number of lake levels and the depths of those lake levels. Where can this be done? I've located the module_sf_lake.f90 code in the /BuildWRF/WRFV4/phys/ directory, which appears to have a hard-coded number of lake levels (variable name, nlevlake) set to 10. Can I simply change this number and recompile? I have yet to identify where the depths are specified. In the output files, lake level depths are found in the variable, soil_levels_or_lake_levels_stag, but I have yet to find where that variable is in the WRF code to modify them.
Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
