The update wrfelec37_update01.tgz includes the WRF 3.8 NSSL microphysics. The 3.7 NSSL microphysics had a mysterious bad interaction with the KF cumulus scheme, and a number of minor bugs have been fixed. There is also a registry fix for mp_physics=17, which erroneously had two scalars for droplet concentration (qndrop and qnc). Only qndrop should be there, and the microphysics driver had to be corrected for this.

A couple users reported errors when running a nested domain. It turned out that the problem appeared when D02 was initialized at the same time as D01. Basically, the microphysics module ended up with a setting where it thought it did not need the charge density arrays. A fix for this is included in the new module_physics_init.F

A problem was found in module_mp_nssl_2mom.F where some arrays were not explicitly initialized. A new version has be added to the updates folder (elec-3.7-updates), and the full code is wrfelec37_update02a.tgz (replaces wrfelec37_update02.tgz). Thanks to Hosseini for running into this problem.

Uploaded a beta release of WRF-ELEC for version 3.9.1.1. The features are the same as the last 3.7.1 update, so it is only an update of the WRF version.
EDIT: (11/11/2017) Beta 0.01 with bug fix for seg fault with mp_physics = 17. Thanks to Ling Sun for finding a problem. File affected is module_mp_nssl_2mom.F

A second minor update (wrfelec37_update02.tgz) fixes a compile problem for gfortran. It also contains the files from update01
