NoahMP only requires wrfinput to initialize. WRF-Hydro only requires geo_em. There are duplicate fields read in from these two files (land use type, soil type). Can we streamline?
Expected Behavior
N/A
Current Behavior
Duplicate info (land use type, soil type) is read in from two separate files.
Possible Solution
Propose shifting WRF-Hydro to either (a) ingest land use and soil type directly from the LSM vs. a separate file read, or (b) accept wrfinput as the GEO_STATIC_FLNM file option so the user is not required to maintain two separate files with duplicate info. Need to check what is required when coupled to WRF.
