[Wrf-users] Queries about sharp discontinuity of Hydrological Variables

[Kevin Matthew Nuss]

The discontinuities in the runoffs and mixing ratio might be caused by the
strange soil moisture pattern.

Since the soil moisture is most disconinuous in the deepest layers, I would
first check the begining of the run to see if the incoming data used to
initialize soil moisture or soil properties is patchy rather than one of the
WRF LSMs or microphysics/cumulus schemes. It seems like the 15 day run might
be making bad data slightly better on the surface, rather than creating bad
data.
