Driving Noah-MP single point simulation using tower-observed data?

[tais958]

Hi, Maybe I had missed this part in the user guides you provided, but I wondered if LIS allows user to conduct single point simulation using Noah-MP and potentially makes it driven by observed met forcing? Thank you in advance for any response!

Hi @tais958

It's not possible to conduct a truly single-point simulation, but we can simulate a 2 grid point by 2 grid point domain.

For an example, please see the Bondville testcase: https://github.com/NASA-LIS/LISF/tree/master/lis/testcases/metforcing/Bondville

NOTE - we don't keep these testcases updated to the current software. Please follow the Users' Guides for constructing your config files. But you can get a sense of what is being done from the ldt.config and lis.config files in this directory.

Thank you, @dmocko! This is quite helpful. I'll start with this and see how far I can go. Most likely will have more questions for you.
