- dveg = 7 -> dynamic vegetation off (use input LAI; use FVEG = SHDFAC from input)
- dveg = 8 -> dynamic vegetation off (use input LAI; calculate FVEG)
- dveg = 9 -> dynamic vegetation off (use input LAI; use maximum vegetation fraction)

A parallel capability has been added by Wei Yu (weiyu@ncar.edu) to support mpi only.

- To compile with sequential version, edit the file 'user_build_options', uncommment the compiler section without MPI
-
System setup and execution now requires only a WRF/WPS geo_em file, Dependence on the wrfinput file has been removed.
-
As part of #2, initialization no longer occurs in the first forcing file,
- but in the file listed in the namelist as: HRLDAS_SETUP_FILE = "
- The initialization fields are: SNOW,CANWAT,TSK,TSLB,SMOIS
- This file also contains the static grid/domain information: XLAT,XLONG,TMN,HGT,SEAICE,MAPFAC_MX,MAPFAC_MY,SHDMAX,SHDMIN,XLAND,IVGTYP,ISLTYP,DZS,ZS
- This file can also contains some optional fields: LAI
- NOTE: a WRF input file can be used as a HRLDAS_SETUP_FILE
-
The timing structure has changed:
- The initial conditions are the states at START time.
- First forcing file used is START time + FORCING_TIMESTEP
- First integration is START time + NOAH_TIMESTEP
-
First output file is now START time + OUTPUT_TIMESTEP
-
RESTART file states are consistent with OUTPUT file states with the same time stamp
-
Instructions for using GLDAS and NLDAS as forcing has been provided in addition to the NARR instructions (see /docs)
- Also, a NCL script has been included for preparing single- or multi-point forcing
-
Initial LAI (if present in the HRLDAS_SETUP_FILE) will be used to initialize the leaf and stem carbon pools
-
Removed dependence on external GRIB tables for forcing creation; now in namelist only
