[Wrf-users] mismatch_landmask_ivgtyp error in WRF 3.8

[Helen Macintyre]

I had issues using ERA-Interim when I needed to update the sea surface temperatures. I had to download the ERA landmask separately and use that as the land/sea mask for SST in the METGRID table. Hope this helps.

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,
