Dear Sir/Madam

Hello!

Due to unknown reason my e-mail account rejects to post my problem at regcnet@lists.ictp.it. That is why I am sending directly to you guys, thanks!!! I am new to use RegCM4.0, I download the code from the web and the important data’s from http://users.ictp.it/~pubregcm/RegCM4/globedat.htm. to make some simulation around aerosols and climate, for my PhD study. But I have some problems could you please help me in the following manners, thanks!!!

1.  I make some simulation including aerosol, however the output does not have any value of dust at all time. That means I am unable to see any load and impacts of dust in my out put. I think this is due to the lack of this data files: CLAY.02,CLAY.03, CLAY.05, CLAY.10, CLAY.30, CLAY.60, CLM3.0,  SAND.02  SAND.03,SAND.05, SAND.10, loam.02, loam.03,…Could you please tell me where to get this data sets or if you have those data sets and able to attach in e-mail or if I can download from ftp could share to me. 

2. As well as for the other outputs of aerosol such as SO₄ and different forms of carbon the outputs of assa8 (aer mix. sin. scat. Alb) and agfu8 (aer mix. ass. par) values are not reasonable, the values are 0.000X...how I get such values of single scattering albedo and asymmetric parameter? What is my mistake? Is that the input setup problem or due to the data that I use to run the model?

3. First South Africa is the country that has half of its region is in Low-latitude regions and the rest half is part of Middle-latitude region. Thus which one you will suggest me to use in the input 'LAMCON', or 'NORMER'? 

For your more advises this is the input setup that I use to run the model:
