[RegCNET] SST in ICBC

[XUNQIANG BI]

Hi, Ratnam:

Please not set LSMTYP='USGS' in domain.param,

RIGHT NOW, THE OPTION FOR LSMTYP='USGS' DOESN'T WORK.

This part is just reserved for the interface for Common
Land Model. The whole package is not avaibale right now.

So you're wrong to set LSMTYP='USGS' in domain.param,

Regards,
Xunqiang Bi
