Error with LDT testcases

[MariRiba]

Hi
I have installed LDT and LIS but when I am running testcases, I am getting the below error:

ldtlog.zip

- - - - - - - - - - Albedo Parameters - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Param_Check: Average max snow albedo values to be calculated ...
Reading ./INPUT/LS_PARAMETERS/noah_2dparms/maximum_snow_albedo.hdf
[ERR] MAX_SNOW_ALBEDO characteristics do not match expections!
Rank is 2 , expected 2
First dimension is 538705920 , expected 7200
Second dimension is 269352960 , expected 3600
Data type is 5 , expected 5 or 4101
[ERR] Program stopping ...
endrun is being called

What might be the issue here?
Is there a problem with the executable or with the " maximum_snow_albedo.hdf " file ?

Note: LIS executable is running properly without error.

Hi @MariRiba

As you can see in discussion #1405 - HDF-4 is required to read the maximum_snow_albedo dataset.

If you really can't compile HDF-4, you can edit the ldt.config file and use "CONSTANT" for your Max snow albedo data source:.

However, you will not get identical output between your run and the testcase target_output.
