[RegCNET] Problem with ICBC of SST's

[Fiona TUMMON]

Hi there,
 I'm doing a climatological simultaion over Southern Africa and I'm having a problem with the ICBC of SST data. I've downloaded the newest OISST (weekly average SST data) from the NOAA website, but when I try and use this file I get the following error:

    READ IN fields at DATE:  2003010100
    SST file is not the right one

 I'm sure it's something to do with the file having a larger number of records than the code of 
SST_1DEG.f is written for, but I can't see where to change this in the code (in fact I can't even seem to find a piece of code anywhere in RegCM which says to print the error that I got...).

 Also, a second question - possibly easier than the first. Running the icbc creates a files RCM_SST.dat and .ctl ...because I'm running the icbc for a long time period I'm actually using 2 different SST datasets (not really ideal, I know, but it's the best I can think of for the moment). Each time I run it, it creates a new sst file. Is this file used elsewhere in the model? If so, should I keep a version of the file for each time period I'm running the icbc and then concatenate them all together?

Hope that all made sense...

If anyone could help me in this regard, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks,
Fiona Tummon
