[RegCNET] a question in running RegCM3

[XUNQIANG BI]

Hi, Zhao:

You'd better let us know which UNIX computer you used, as well as the
domain.param file ?

I guess that it's not a problem of 10 minute resolution datasets,
(of course, you can easily check this point by using 5 minute instead),
at least it's not a problem for LINUX users.

By the way, Ashraf said that he think the dust package (under RegCM/Main)
need to be improved. And he will tell the details later this month.

So you'd better wait for the updated version for dust simulation.

Best Regards,
Bi Xunqiang

     I am a new one to use RegCM3 model. When I ran it to simulate the dust transportation, I found some blocks prevented me from the fluent run. 
    The problem is associated with reading SOILCAT.10 in Preproc/Terrain/terrain.f. I have set ntypec=10 in advance. I printed the following sentences intentionally to know what reason caused the mistake. Here are the print sentence and signaled mistakes:
Print sentences in terrain.f:
                print*,'AERTYP2',AERTYP
                print*,'   LANDUSE READ1IN', ilat1,ilat2,irec,'==',ch_tex(1,1)
                print*,'   LANDUSE READ2IN', nxmax,ntex,ibyte,ntypec ; !!pause
                if(AERTYP(7:7).eq.'1')
             &        read(45,rec=irec) ((ch_tex(j,k),k=1,ntex),j=1,nxmax)
                if(AERTYP(7:7).eq.'1') then
                 print*,'   LANDUSE READ3IN', ilat1,ilat2,irec,ch_tex(1,3)
                pause
                endif

        I think that the SOILCAT.10  may have some problems, such as not including global but regional area. Here is size of the data file given by commanding 'ls -lt SOILCAT.10' under UNIX:
-rw-r--r-- 1 kys users  39657600 2006-08-13 04:12 SOILCAT.10
        I have tyied to download another SOILCAT.10, but the same result. I donot know why. Can you do me a favor.
        Thanks
        Sincerely
