wrf.exe doesn't read urban parameters from wrfinput_d02

Open AndresSimon opened this issue 5 months ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug I am running a 2 domains simulation with BEP-BEM, with urban parameters introduced in the geo_em files by w2w. real.exe creates wrfinput_d01 and wrfinput_d02 properly. However, when running wrf.exe, only the urban parameters in d01 are read. In the case of d02, BUILD_HEIGHT, BUILD_AREA_FRACTION and BUILD_SURF_FRACTION are ingested by wrf as zero. This makes the model take the urban information from URBPARM_LCZ.TBL instead of from the wrfinput files for domain d02.

To Reproduce I am using WRF v4.7.0 The namelist is included as attached

Expected behavior Theorically, wrf.exe should ingest the values in BUILD_HEIGHT, BUILD_AREA_FRACTION and BUILD_SURF_FRACTION from wrfinput_d0*.
