I wish to know how to use NNRP1/NNRP2 LBC data for RegCM5. The ictp dods has data up to 2015. After that period, If I download the data from NCEP R1/R2 then it is float type. How to convert them to short like ictp dods?

Another question, the ERA5 low resolution data is available in ictp dods. How to use it in RegCM5?
