Dear RegCM users,

I really miss some feature in RegCM. When defining the domain grid, users are restricted to center the domain to the projection center without any possibility to define an arbitrary shift on the projection plane. The root of the problem is, it seem, in the

PreProc/Terrain/mod_maputils.F90

at lines (in version 3.6.1)

cntrj = real(jx+idot,rkx)/d_two

cntri = real(iy+idot,rkx)/d_two

where this asummption is implemented and setup_lcc is called with this central (i,j) afterwards.

Could this be changed to any cntrj, cntri (of float value) in order to shift the grid? This would faciliate e.g. to match RegCM grids with WRF (for comparison studies) grids which are not centered in the projection center, in general.

Anyone did some (working) modifications in this regard?

Thanks a lot in advance

Peter
