[RegCNET] Using RegCM for predictions - data for lateral boundary conditions????

[Béatrice Morel]

Dear RegCM-users,

I would like to use the RegCM model for climate predictions (mainly
rainfall and surface temperature) over the Eastern part of Africa
(Madagascar and Great Horn of Africa). For those of you running RegCM
for climate predictions, could you please tell me what kind of data I
could use for lateral boundary conditions? I believe I could use global
data from any climate GCM?

Many thanks by advance for your answers.

Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Beatrice from Reunion Island
