<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1f497d">After recompiling with debugging and traceback, the true cause of the segfault revealed itself. If sf_urban_physics is non zero AND a Noah land surface scheme is chosen, WRF will crash; not
only with Intel 17.0.4 but also 14.0.1 (and the latest 18 beta). Looks to be a problem with uninitialized variables when module_sf_noahdrv calls the particular sf_urban scheme.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1f497d">When WRF is run using the PGI compiler (2017), crashes are much less likely, but still occur on occasion.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1f497d">The documentation for WRF says that the urban physics schemes will work if a Noah LSM is chosen … perhaps this is a problem that was thought to be fixed but appears not to be.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hi,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I’ve experienced segfaults in various WRF versions (3.7.1 and 3.9) that appear tied to executables built using the current (17.0.4) version of the Intel compilers.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">With debugging set at a value of 100 in namelist.input, I consistently see “CALL rrtmg_lw” as the last thing written to the rsl.error.0000 file prior to the segfault.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Longwave schemes 4 (3.7.1 and 3.9) and 24 (3.9) have been tried with similar behavior.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This is using openmpi (have tried the latest 1.10 and 2.1 releases). Stacksize is unlimited.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Intel compiler version 14.0.1 does not show this problem, nor does the latest PGI 2017 community release.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
