RegCM4 NAM simulation used no urban representation #25

Open jesusff opened 1 month ago

jesusff commented 1 month ago

Melissa just confirmed that RegCM4.4rc8 evaluation simulation over NAM used the BATS land surface scheme using the default land cover data set (http://154.66.220.45:8080/thredds/catalog/regcminput/SURFACE/catalog.html?dataset=regcminput/SURFACE/GLCC_BATS_30s.nc).

This landcover data set has no urban types (values range 1-20), which were included as a basic urban treatment in BATS using extra classes 21 and 22](https://github.com/ICTP/RegCM/blob/da8220bd4c0d0a4d4bd5b8272bbede0d9f347790/Main/batslib/mod_bats_param.F90#L47-L48).
