Hi Kostas,

Sorry for the late reply. Are you aware of the following bug (with an easy fix) in WRFV3.7 and later?

Seems this might be hurting you.

Cheers

Dom

With 3.8.1 i get -7. Has anyone had similar behaviour? I attach my namelist. My domain is the area around Paris, France the topography is relatively flat, away from coastal areas. I am using the BEP urban model. I have tried additionally 2 configurations (changing some schemes with no urban model) only with 3.8.1 and i always get a very cold bias in the order of -5,-6.
