Dear ALL,

I came across a problem after a long PreProcessing ICBC run. The error is shown below and I have attached the log file for the icbc pre processing, and my regcm.in file.

Error: the RCM surface is above the GCM

model top at i,j= 37 204

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...

0.0000000E+00 => -5.000000 , 5.000000
