Plan on running MM5 later with the PX LSM model?

• TERRAIN
  Two changes are needed in the terrain.deck file, setting the LSMDATA, and IEXTRA parameters to TRUE.
   
  LSMDATA = .TRUE., ; .TRUE. --- Create the data for LSM
  IEXTRA = .TRUE., ; .TRUE. --- Create extra data for Pleim-Xiu LSM
   
• REGRID
  Extra fields like SOIL TEMP / MOISTURE needs to added to the input data in this step.
   
• MM5
  Compile time and run time options need to change in order to run the model with the Noah LSM.

The PX LSM model has not been ported to the MM5 MPI code. So this option can only be run in serial mode in the MM5 model.
