Sorry for sending so many emails. Indeed I do have 
non-zero, non-NaN values in the radiative file, I was not reading it 
properly!!!
But anyway, I am still interested by interfering 
with people using RegCM for solar radiation studies.
Thanks again  for your reply.
Best regards
Béatrice

Subject: [RegCNET] Surface solar radiation
 
Dear All,
 
Which variable should I extract from the output 
files if I want to study solar resource at the surface? Up to now, I have 
plotted "solin" in RAD output files, but I have seen in the User's guide, that 
there are many variables relative to solar radiation (sina, fsw in SFR output 
files). Which one should I use then? Indeed, I am interested in global 
solar radiation received over the surface. Is anyone working on solar radiation 
with RegCM?
 
In the previous RegCM version I used, I did get 
non-zero values for radiative fields. A few days ago, I installed 
the latest version of RegCM (the one posted 
on the web site in November 2009). The model is running but the radiative file 
has zero values in it now. Is there any parameter I should care about 
then?
 
Many thanks by advance for your 
response.
 
Greetings,
 
Béatrice
