[RegCNET] CLM4.5 input data for urban landcover - too low values

[Peter Huszar]

Dear RegCM users,

I am using RegCM 4.7 along with CLM4.5 and found some peculiarity with the
CLM4.5 input file DOM1_CLM45_surface.nc created with mksurfdata. In the
file created by the 4.7 version (by looking at urb_2d) there is a very
limited urban landcover and only large cities are represented, everything
else is lost. I am sending the corresponding printscreen of the 4.6.1
CLM4.5 urb_2d too
(left panel - 4.7.0, right panel - 4.6.1), which looks as it should. Just
to note that the configuration is same for both namelists (just using the
corresponding namelist version which brings some minor differences).
I noticed that there has been a lot of changes in the
PreProc/CLM45/mksurfdata.F90 between 4.6 and 4.7. However it seems that in
4.7, something is wrong as the results does not seem right.

Any suggestion where might be the problem?

Thanks a lot!
Peter
