Configuring a CORDEX-MENA experiment – in #10: INT2LM

in #10: INT2LM

<p> Hi, <br/> I am unsuccessfully attempting preparing a model setup suitable for performing a <span class="caps"> CORDEX </span> - <span class="caps"> MENA </span> experiment. <br/> The run terminates at int2lm due to “Not all necessary fields could be read or interpolated”. Please see the files attached. <br/> Any hint will be appreciated. <br/> Simon </p>

In the namelist you wrote
itype_albedo = 2,
However, from the OUTPUT file (see excerpt below) it can be seen that the parameters ALB _DRY and ALB _SAT are missing in your external data set.
You may either set
itype_albedo = 1,
or provide an external data set with ALB _DRY and ALB _SAT included. 

    The following external parameters have been read:

COARSE LM INT2LM Height of the Orography T T F Geopotential of the surface T T F Orography transition at LB T with 10 grid points Fraction of land T T F Soiltyp F T F Surface roughness F T F Root depth F T F Plant Cover (Vegetation) F T F Plant Cover (Rest) F T F Leaf area index (Vegetation) F T F Leaf area index (Rest) F T F Evergreen Forest —- T —- Deciduous Forest —- T —- Standard deviation of SSO —- T —- Anisotropy of the orography —- T —- Angle between axis —- T —- Mean slope of SSO —- T —- Sulfat drops (12 month) —- T —- Mineral dust (12 month) —- T —- Organic (12 month) —- T —- Black carbon (12 month) —- T —- Sea salt (12 month) —- T —- Dry soil surface albedo —- F —- Sat. soil surface albedo —- F —- clim. deep soil temperature —- T —-

<p> Thank you. Which of the three available in ExtPAR options for Surface Albedo (Modis sry &amp; sat; Modis 12vis; Modis12) would you recommend me to use to have the external data for <span class="caps"> ALB </span> _DRY and <span class="caps"> ALB </span> _SAT included? </p>
