Hi all,
 
Sorry for disturbing you. I ran into another problem when running the Regcm4. Please help out with these problems when you have free time.
 
1. The incorrect of the ptop (defaults to 5) when I use the NNRP2 global analysis data. 
./icbc regcm2.in
"......
READ IN fields at DATE:   1990010100

 Error: the RCM surface is above the GCM

 model top at i,j=           28           30

 This might reasonably happen if you have a

 very tall mountain in your domain. Setting

 ptop to a smaller value could help.

 Otherwise, this indicates a bug somewhere...

   5.2941825E-02  =>     5.293683     ,    5"
 
2. There is no above-mentioned problem when I use ERA40 global analysis data for a try. But another problem raised when I carry out the parallel computing.
