The BNU soil dataset has the same soil categories as in STATSGO with differences in spatial variations.
The MODIFIED_IGBP_MODIS_NOAH_15s has the same categories as in MODIFIED_IGBP_MODIS_NOAH.
The additional static information is introduced via the namelist.init_atmosphere
config_landuse_data = 'MODIFIED_IGBP_MODIS_NOAH_15s'
config_soilcat_data = 'BNU'

It doesn't look like config_nsoilcat is used anywhere, so it seems like we could remove it from this PR branch.

@mgduda Mike, this variable will be used in the following PRs that will compute the fractional content of soil types in each grid cell. And the 3-d array of fractional soil types will be dimensioned as nsoilcat.

@tanyasmirnova Apologies for the long delay in following up on this PR. If the config_nsoilcat option will be used in a future PR, perhaps we could add it to the Registry.xml file at that time?

@mgduda Michael, yes, we can add config_nsoilcat later.
