Chenna,

I am guessing you are using GFS data from after 12Z 14 January 2015.
You need to have these lines in your Vtable (Vtable.GFS) file for the
ungrib.exe step:

GRIB1| Level| From |  To  | metgrid  | metgrid | metgrid                                 |GRIB2|GRIB2|GRIB2|GRIB2|
Param| Type |Level1|Level2| Name     | Units   | Description                             |Discp|Catgy|Param|Level|
-----+------+------+------+----------+---------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------+
  85 | 112  |   0  |  10  | ST000010 | K       | T 0-10 cm below ground layer (Upper)    |  2  |  0  |  2  | 106 |
  85 | 112  |  10  |  40  | ST010040 | K       | T 10-40 cm below ground layer (Upper)   |  2  |  0  |  2  | 106 |
  85 | 112  |  40  | 100  | ST040100 | K       | T 40-100 cm below ground layer (Upper)  |  2  |  0  |  2  | 106 |
  85 | 112  | 100  | 200  | ST100200 | K       | T 100-200 cm below ground layer (Bottom)|  2  |  0  |  2  | 106 |
  85 | 112  |  10  | 200  | ST010200 | K       | T 10-200 cm below ground layer (Bottom) |  0  |  0  |  2  | 106 |

I've attached my full Vtable.GFS.  Note that the attached works for
both GRIB2 and GRIB1 format (obtained by running 'cnvgrib.exe -g21
grib2file grib1file'), whereas, I don't think I've seen any others
floating about that actually work with GRIB1 format. 

Cheers,

David

#  For SNOWH, NCEP starts with the AFWA snow depth analysis and converts it to a water-equivalent.
#  For some reason, NCEP uses a different ratio in the GFS/GDAS than in the NAM and that which is assumed in WRF.
#  Therefore, we need to adjust SNOW and compute SNOWH in ungrib.
