Dear RegCM-users,
 
I would like to run RegCM over Madagascar for the period 1957-present using ERA40 for boundary and initial conditions.
 
As regards SST, which dataset covering the period 1957-present, should I be using?
 
I have downloaded the NOAA Extended Reconstructed SST "sst.mnmean.nc" file from the CDC website, but when trying and running icbc.x with that dataset, I get the following error message:
 
ERROR OPENING SST.RCM FILE
STOP 4810 IN PROGRAM ICBC
 
Could anyone help me to cope with that problem?
 
Many thanks by advance for your help.
 
Best regards,
 
Beatrice
