Hi,
I am trying to use the NASA JPL SST data from “ https://podaac-tools.jpl.nasa.gov/drive/files/allData/ghrsst/data/L4/GLOB/JPL_OUROCEAN/G1SST”. I have successfully ran metgrid.exe and created the met_em_d0* files and have linked them in my WRF run directory. To set up my namelist.input for SST updates I have added the lines below:
&time_control
auxinput4_inname = "wrflowinp_d<domain>",
auxinput4_interval = 360,
io_form_auxinput4 = 2
&physics
sst_update = 1,
Rdlai2d = .true.,
usemonalb = .true.,
The model runs correctly and gives me a note of "SUCCESS COMPLETE WRF". However, when I check my wrfout_d0* files, in the SST field values assigned to the land are zero (which from my understanding is because “fill_missing” in METGRID.TBL was set to zero). Because of this, the albedo is also zero everywhere in wrfout file. In contrast, when I use default GFS data and do not update SST (default run), in the wrfout files the SST field has non-zero values over the land as well as over the ocean (same as the SKINTEMP variable in "met_em_d0*" files).
I checked the SKINTEMP field in my met_em_d0* files and they all look good and have assigned values for the land cells. However, the met_em_d0* files that are using NASA, SST data have a field called SST that the default runs do not.
I am stuck here and not sure how to resolve this problem. I have used the notes in the tutorial in “https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/CASES/SST/wrf.php”. But on this page, there is nothing mentioned about how SST should look after the runs.
I was wondering if you could advise me on this issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Maryam
