I had downloaded the sst data of GFDL rom http://clima-dods.ictp.it/data/d8/cordex/SST/ and the file names ts_Amon_GFDL-ESM2M_historical_r1i1p1_195101-195512.nc correspond to surface temperature parameter rather sea surface temperature. ncdump also shows the variable surface temperature. I tried to use the sst data of GFDL downloaded from ESGF portal but regcm is unable to read that, regcm still gives error corresponding to the ts_Amon_GFDL-ESM2M_historical_r1i1p1_195101-195512 file.

I have tried both options.Renaming the .cdf files to .nc. Second, changes the suffix from .nc to .cdf in mod_sst_gnmnc.F90 and recompiled. Still same error for sst.

The filename must have the .nc suffix. If it is not possible to change
the name of the file on filesystem, you can edit source file
mod_sst_gnmnc.F90, modify the suffix there, recompile and run sst
program again.
