clm5 soil_moisture_streams problem

[anushree]

Hi all,
i am running a simulation which gives the following error-
./preview_namelists
GET_REFCASE is false, the user is expected to stage the refcase to the run directory.

i found out that if i remove these following lines from user_nl_clm, the model is able to build successfully without producing the above mentioned error.

use_soil_moisture_streams = .true.
&soil_moisture_streams
soilm_offset = 0
soilm_tintalgo = 'linear'
stream_fldfilename_soilm = '/home/cas/cesm/LFMIP-pdLC-SST.H2OSOI.natveg.1980-2014.MONS_climo.nc'
stream_year_first_soilm = 1997
stream_year_last_soilm = 1997
/
Please,someone tell me why these above lines are not working.i am using cesm2.1.1 and clm5.
Thank you,

First, I think you just need to remove the "&soil_moisture_streams", and "/" in the user_nl_clm file. Second -- make sure use_soil_moisture_streams is in the namelist_definition file: /home/apps/centos7/CESM/cesm2/cesm2.1.1/components/clm/bld/namelist_files/namelist_definition_clm4_5.xml. I'm thinking you are using a feature that wasn't in CESM2.1.1, but was added to a later version of the cesm2.1 series. I'd suggest also updating to cesm2.1.3 the latest one.

Thank you Erik for your suggestion.i am using CLM5,then why is it looking in the namelist_definition_clm4_5.xml?
should it not look into namelist_definition_clm5.xml?

The name is historical. It uses the same file for both clm4_5 and clm5_0. In many cases they use the same
settings. And when they don't it's detailed in that file. There isn't a file that's just for clm5_0.
