[RegCNET] Zheng & Lake Model

[Neil Davis]

I am working on running the RegCM over an East African Domain with 
emphasis on the impact of Lake Victoria on the climate.  I have been 
using the 1D lake model, with the bats ocean flux scheme, as this is 
required to run the lake model.  Recent research by one of my colleagues 
has shown that the Zheng ocean flux considerably improves the forecast 
over the Indian Ocean and therefore the circulation over the African Domain.

I am wondering if it is possible to run the Zheng ocean flux over the 
Indian Ocean, but still run bats over the lake so that I can have the 
benefit of the lake model, as well as the improved circulation generated 
by the Zheng scheme. 

Thank you for your help.
