[RegCNET] problem with ICBC

[XUNQIANG BI]

Hi, Carolina:

If your SST files (sst.wkmean.1990-present.nc for OI_WK and
sst.mnmean.nc for OISST) are all the latest one, and you need
update your SST_1DEG.f and ICBC.f file (or edit in the codes)
to fix the problem you met by using weekly OISST.

Very Easy !!!
1st step:
% grep WKDAY ICBC.f SST_1DEG.f

You might find

       COMMON /DATEWK/ WKDAY(427+910)

Note the above 910 is the record number (number of week) in the
SST file   sst.wkmean.1990-present.nc

Then you use the ncdump to see the number of record in
your latest sst.wkmean.1990-present.nc file,

% ncdump -h sst.wkmean.1990-present.nc

......
         time = UNLIMITED ; // (957 currently)
......

If you download today, you will get 957.

Then you edit the code and replace the 910 to 957. There are several
places need to be replaced.

The above 910 is just an example number. In fact, if you download
the latest web version of ICTP RegCM3, you'll find the number is 962,
which corresponds to the last week of year 2008 (since 1990).

Of course, usually, it's not wrong to set to a big number intentionally.

Let's make the summary for the way to solve your problem:
1) download the latest SST data;
2) update (or edit) SST_1DEG.f and ICBC.f

Good luck !
