WRF-Fire and WRF-Sfire "crash: set_fire_params: fuel category out of bounds"

[jester585]

Hello everyone,
I have prepared nfuelcat and zsf maps for WRF-SFIRE. The maps appear as expected in the geogrid and metgrid outputs. However, when I run real.exe, the nfuelcat and zsf data appear as undefined.I have changed many settings in both namelist.input and namelist.fire. I even switched the model to WRF-Fire, but I get the same issue in both versions. I couldn’t figure out where the problem is. Could the issue be related to the way the GeoTIFF file is adapted for geogrid, or is it caused by something else such as the domain configuration? I would really appreciate any help.

Sorry that I don't have an answer to your issue. I am not an expert in WRF-FIRE.

Please take a look at the website: WRF-Fire: Wildland Fire Modeling | Research Applications Laboratory. Hope you can find some hejpful information there.
