Hello,

I have a compiled version of RegCM4.3 and I'm trying to use the HADGEM2-ES RCP driving data, but I'm unable to run the sst script to generate the sst's to run the model. I have tried both the monthly and daily sst's (the only ones available for the particluar HADGEM2-ES RCP ensemble), as it was not clear in any of the documentation which one would work.

Both of them give me similar errors having to do with the calendar (either "leap year" or "360-day"):

$ ./Bin/sst SEA_NAT45.in

This is sst part of the RegCM version 4
   SVN Revision: 3572M compiled at: data : Mar 19 2013 time: 15:06:23

: this run start at    : Tue Aug 26 12:37:26 2014
: it is submitted by   : hstauffe
: it is running on     : stratus.pmc.ucsc.edu
: in directory         : /vol6/hstauffer/RCP_NAT/RCP4.5N

HA_45 calendar should be set to 360_day
sst : Calendar mismatch:             1
Abort (core dumped)

I am now not sure what driving data would be appropriate, since monthly and daily are the only apparent options for the HADGEM RCP scenario that I need. Do I have to transform the driving data before I run the sst script?

Please advise so that I can start again on the long process of downloading the correct data or altering the data that I already have to make it compatible.

Thank you.

-Heidi
