[RegCNET] SST in ICBC

[J.Venkata Ratnam]

Hi

  I think the ICBC program calculates the SST wrongly
if one uses USGS data set. The mksst2 subroutine in
ICBC.f, calculates SST based on LANDUSE of BATS and
not of USGS

   5806       DO 20 I=1,JX
   5807       DO 20 J=1,IY
   5808       IF( (TOPOGM(I,J).LE.1.) .AND.
   5809      &   
(XLANDU(I,J).GT.13.9.AND.XLANDU(I,J).LT.15.1) .AND.
   5810      &    (SST1(I,J).GT.-900.0) ) THEN
   5811          TSCCM(I,J) = SST1(I,J)
   5812       ENDIF
   5813    20 CONTINUE


The XLANDU is 15 for BATS and 25 for USGS. So, I think
this needs to be changed for getting correct SST for
USGS data.

Thanks
Regards
Ratnam
