This is the base branch to develop CWC WRF v4.6.1.1. Propose your bug fixes and developments for this release against this branch.

RELEASE NOTE:

Fixes applied from WRF v4.7.1:

kkeene44 and others added 7 commits January 13, 2026 10:25
TYPE: bug fix

KEYWORDS: ghg_input, idealized, no radiation

SOURCE: internal

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
Problem:
Most idealized cases have radiation options turned off, which causes the following error message to inaccurately print to the rsl files when ideal.exe is run:

ERROR: ghg_input available only for these radiation schemes: CAM, RRTM,
RRTMG, RRTMG_fast
           And the LW and SW schemes must be reasonably paired together:
           OK = CAM LW with CAM SW
           OK = RRTM, RRTMG LW or SW, RRTMG_fast LW or SW may be mixed

Solution:
In share/module_check_a_mundo.F, add code to ensure that when radiation is turned off, not only does the message not print, but the namelist value for ghg_input is set to 0, as well.

LIST OF MODIFIED FILES: 
M    share/module_check_a_mundo.F

TESTS CONDUCTED: 
1. Code compiles okay and no longer prints the message for idealized cases (tested with em_quarter_ss).
2. The Jenkins tests are all passing.

RELEASE NOTE: This PR fixes an erroneous print for using ghg_input when no radiation option is selected, mostly from idealized cases.
TYPE: bug fix

KEYWORDS: Urban, Noah-MP, LCZ

SOURCE: Martilli, Alberto (CIEMAT)

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:

Problem:
If one uses Noah-MP and LCZ data, all the LCZ_1, LCZ_2, etc. are zero because they are not defined correctly for Noah-MP. 

Solution:
This PR fixes the issue by using LCZ_*_TABLE instead so that LCZ are correctly defined in Noah-MP.

LIST OF MODIFIED FILES: 
M       phys/module_surface_driver.F

TESTS CONDUCTED: 
1. A one-month simulation was conducted for February 2018 over Atlanta to verify the change.
2. The Jenkins tests are all passing.

RELEASE NOTE: This PR fixes an error associated with using LCZ categories in NoahMP. Prior to this fix, the LCZs were not correctly referenced, hence ignored in the NoahMP code.
This has all current bug fixes and no new features (since WRF v4.5.1),
so it should work fine.
The default (1) leads to crashes with SLUCM urban option. See CORDEX-WRF-community/fps-urb-rcc#4
