Dear Ahsan
You should have to modify your name list for Aerosol option (user guide RegCM4.3.5.6 reference page 36).
While in case of ICBC program error it look like that your HadGEM2 date is not matching with the GLOBDATE1 and GLOBDATE2.
I will suggest you to follow the user guide pages 37-38, If you want to run the model for Aerosol and Chemistry options.

Subject: [RegCNET] Starting RegCM Simulation (error and questions)

Dear All
 
I have set up a RegCM4.3.5.6 simulation using HadGEM2-ES GCM (http://clima-dods.ictp.it/data/data/d8/cordex/HadGEM2/). I have configured namelist for my concerned domain. In namelist I have some questions, In the test namelists there is no specification for Aerosols. Should I need to specify aerosols as well for this run? (I have already downloaded aerosol files too).
 
Secondly in sst and dattyp I have set
ssttyp = 'HA_RF',
dattyp = 'HA_RF',
What should be this if I am running an RCP scenario.
Coming to error when I run icbc after running sst successfully I get following error.
[pmdtest@r720 RF]$ ../bin//icbc test_015.in
  This is icbc part of the RegCM version 4

Aborted (core dumped)
 
As you can see the GLOBdates refer to 19691201-19711201 but the error message is referring to file of different dates (ta_6hrLev_HadGEM2-ES_historical_r1i1p1_199012010600-199103010000.nc). Why is it so?
 
Thanks for your time!
Regards
Ahsan
