Issue with LIS NoahMP 3.6 Output – No LIS_HIST_*.nc Generated & <variable> Error

[Mahza2303]

Hi everyone,

I am currently using ERA5 meteorological data to force the LISF model (NoahMP 3.6). Unfortunately, I’m unable to generate any NetCDF output files like LIS_HIST_*.nc.

I ran the model for a one-month period and set the Surface model output interval: to 1mo. However, only a restart file is generated—no history (diagnostic) file is produced.

When I try changing the output interval to 1da, the model throws the following error:

[ERR] Swnet                                              field is not defined  
[ERR] for diagnostic output...  
[ERR] Please exclude it from the model output attributes table  
[ERR] Program stopping ..  
[ERR] endrun is being called  

I’ve attached my lis.config, ldt.config, and output attributes table for reference. I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and advise what might be going wrong.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @Mahza2303

Thanks for your patience with a reply. Several LIS team members were on leave in July/August, we have lost some staff,
and we had important annual meetings this month.

I have reviewed your ldt.config and lis.config files, and your NOAHMP_OUTPUT_LIST file.

Can you please explain why all of your file entries in your configs start with a "/"?

For example:
Forcing variables list file: /forcing_variables.txt

It's not clear that LDT and/or LIS are finding your files. Can you please attach your ldtlog and lislog files?
