[RegCNET] column-level soil/lake energy conservation error (W/m**2)

[Felipe Roque]

Hi Friends,

I´m using RegCM-4.1. Anyone knows what could cause an error in subroutine
BalanceCheck (~/Main/clm3.5/src/biogeophys/BalanceCheckMod.F90)? This
warning doesn´t stop regcm, but is it a critical error? Should I worry
about it?
This subroutine accumulates the numerical truncation errors of the
water and energy balance calculation. It is helpful to see the performance
of the process of integration.
The error for energy balance = abs(Net radiation - change of internal
energy - Sensible heat - Latent heat)


 soil balance e nstep =     49500 point =  4105 imbalance =    0.00 W/m2
 soil balance e nstep =     49500 point =  5456 imbalance =    0.00 W/m2
 soil balance e nstep =     49500 point =  2304 imbalance =    0.00 W/m2
