[RegCNET] Map factor is not close to 1 everywhere

[sridhar nayak]

Dear all,

I have set a domain in RegCM3 from latitude  -15 to 45 and longitude
from 30 to 120 with the following parameters:

iproj= NORMER
iy= 245
ix= 335
ds= 30
clat=17.27
clon= 74.87

My problem is that regarding map factor which should come as close as
to 1, but in my case it is coming:

ga> d dmap
Contouring: 1.05 to 1.4 interval 0.05

I have adjusted the domain by changing the above parameters several
times to bring the map factor as close as to 1. But the map factor
still bahaving the same as above. My domain is on the tropical region.
so I can not use  LAMCON as projection.

Therefore, may I request you all kindly to give your suggestion.

yours truely,
Sridhara
