[RegCNET] Using alternate land cover file

[rajesh maurya]

Hi Heidi,

   The landuse experiment that you had done with Regcm3 with made change in
terrain code to redirect the model to another land cover file .

Same expriment I have to do but I donot know what are steps I have to
follow to start expeiment. I would appreciate if you guide me with step buy
step.

Detail od data which we are using..

data file. ..*IND_cov.gri*
