UCM configuration problem using NUDAPT (Houston)

[lslrsgis]

Dear WRF community,

I'm writing for a problem when using NUDAPT in UCM/WRF. My purpose is to run a test for Houston area using available datasets.

(1) The files NUDAPT44_1KM, urbfrac_nlcd2011 within Urban Tar File are downloaded from http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/download/get_sources_wps_geog.html#specific, and placed to GEOG/WPS_GEOG_HIGH_RES/.

(2) in namelist.input, changed the options:
& physics
sf_surface_physics=2 (noah model)
sf_urban_physics = 0, 1, (UCM) 2, (BEP) 3 (BEM)
num_land_cat = 33,

Question 1: WPS geogrid.exe, ungrid.exe and metgrid.exe are successfully executed. -----URB_PARAM, FRC_URB2D are generated in geo_em.d0*.nc. WRF ./real.exe also runs well. However, when ./wrf.exe, it fails with errors as follows (with num_land_cat = 21):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Question 2: I tried to change num_land_cat = 21 to num_land_cat=33 in namelist.input. When executing ./real.exe, there is a mismatch error. My question is how to change num_land_cat to 33 in geogrid?

----------------- ERROR -------------------
namelist : NUM_LAND_CAT = 33
input files : NUM_LAND_CAT = 21 (from geogrid selections).

Any indications? Thanks very much

This is a bug in the WRF model prior to version 4.1

Please download the newest version (WRFV4.1) and rerun this case.

Let us know if you still have the problem.

For the NUM_LAND_CAT, its value in namelist must be the dame as that in met-em file. Please find the correct value by
ncdump -h met-em and NUM_LAND_CAT is a global attribute.

Thanks very much. I will try V4.1.

BTW, would you look at this: http://forum.mmm.ucar.edu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=5288&p=9938#p9938. Another topic on compilation problem.
