Running MM5 with the PX LSM model

Before you can run MM5 with the PX LSM model, you need to ensure that:

• You run TERRAIN with the correct settings
• You added SOIL TEMP / MOISTURE fields in the REGRID step

This option is NOT available in the MM5 MPI code

configure.user

ISOIL = 3(Pleim-Xiu land-surface scheme)

IBLTYP = 7 (Pleim-Xiu PBL )
         The PX LSM model only works with the Pleim-Xiu PBL scheme

make clean
make

mm5.deck

Set ISMLYR

These values represent the bottom of the input soil layers
These must be set to the levels you added in the REGRID step
 
Typical values will be:

ISMLYR = 10,200,0,0,
