Issue Reading MPTABLE File using Noah-MP 3.6

[mcthreems]

I am trying out a simulation using Noah-MP 3.6, but have run into an unusual problem at runtime. The run quickly crashes with the below error message (in the standard out, no error message is left in the log file). I haven't seen this error previously when running simulations using Noah-MP 4.0.1, and am not sure where to look to try fixing it. I have attached both the ldt and lis configuration files, plus the log file for the run.

Error Message:
At line 462 of file ../surfacemodels/land/noahmp.3.6/module_sf_noahmplsm_36.F90 (unit = 15, file = './INPUT/LS_PARAMETERS/noahmp401_parms/MPTABLE.TBL')

Primary job terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.

mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

Process name: [[11355,1],0]
Exit code: 2

Hi @mcthreems

You are trying to use the Noah-MP-4.0.1 MPTABLE file with the Noah-MP-3.6 LSM.

The format of this file is different between these two model versions.

From looking at your lis.config file, you should also use the Noah-MP-3.6 SOILPARM and GENPARM files.

You can obtain these files here: https://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/lisdata_pub/data/PARAMETERS/noahmp36_parms/

Please see the README file in this directory. Use the SOILPARM.TBL.WRF-3.9 in place of the regular SOILPARM.TBL file.

Thank you for directing me to these files. I can confirm that the simulation is running now that I have it pointed to these in the configuration file. For future reference, is the site you linked the official repository for these types of input files to run the various model options in LIS?

Yes, the "PARAMETERS" sub-directory should have most of the necessary parameter files to run LDT/LIS.
