[RegCNET] Floating point exception when using the dust model

[Zakey Ashraf_Saber]

Hi Greg,

   Some other issues need to be considered, 1) the resolution of soil
texture file; 2) the resolution of the land-use. what is the map factor
inside your domain?

    How many points you have in your domain? Any way, I'm preparing for
Dust sub-gird scheme version  which will help with the high resolution
run.
