Hi Xunqiang,

I am sorry to trouble you again. I want to know how I can set the parameters about soil texture data in the model. Now I want to run some dust experiments over East Asia, but there is a message ¡°Soil texture datasets are only required for running dust experiment, and you just need download SOILCAT.02 and SOILCAT.TAR¡± on the website http://users.ictp.it/~pubregcm /RegCM3/globedat.htm. Now I have downloaded SOILCAT.02 and SOILCAT.TAR data, but I don¡¯t know how to use the data and how to set the parameters about soil texture data in the model. Could you help me?

Thank you very much in advance.

Your friend,

Xingtao Su
