Dear all,

I am trying to run RegCM4.0 using regcm.in, attached above, as a namelist file. What I really wanted to do was to make a test without the restart option, because when I use the restart option the output files refer only to the dates of the restart (idate1, idate2). Many attempts of running the model with the restart option disabled (true), led to the below:

This is RegCM version 4

Could you please tell me why this is happening considering that we want the model to create the SAV files only if for restart?

Thank you in advance!
