[Wrf-users] mismatch_landmask_ivgtyp error in WRF 3.8

[Ufuk Utku Turuncoglu (BE)]

Hi,

I am trying to run the latest version of the WRF model (3.8) using 
ERA-Interim boundary conditions (downloaded from 
http://rda.ucar.edu/data/ds627.0) but i am getting following error when 
i run the real.exe

...
  Noah -> Noah: bad soil moisture at i,j =           37 22

in this case, i used ungrib/Variable_Tables/Vtable.ERA-interim.pl as 
Vtable file and i did not do any modification in METGRID.TBL file 
(linked to metgrid/METGRID.TBL.ARW) and all the input files are created 
without any problem. So, how can i solve this problem. Is it related 
with NOAH LSM? or latest changes in the code itself. Anyway, please let 
me know if you have any suggestion about it.

Best Regards,
