[Wrf-users] Error when using 2001 MODIS static data

[Tabish Ansari]

Hello

I am trying to run real.exe with the new geographical dataset from MODIS.
Geogrid.exe showed no errors however, it seems that the land surface model
is expecting only 20 land categories (as per USGS) and is getting 24
categories from MODIS and throwing an error. How should I resolve this?

 ----------------- ERROR -------------------
 namelist    : NUM_LAND_CAT =         24
 input files : NUM_LAND_CAT =         20 (from geogrid selections).
 -------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
 FATAL CALLED FROM FILE:  <stdin>  LINE:     651
 Mismatch between namelist and wrf input files for dimension NUM_LAND_CAT

I am using the NOAH land surface model (sf_surface_physics=2);
sf_urban_physics=0 and sf_sfclay_physics=1

I am using WRF version 3.4.1
