I have no idea what could cause the error other than the CLM package used an index that was greater than the size of a netCDF dimension. I suggest contacting the creator of the CLM package. You could also use some of the netCDF tools listed at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html to see what they have to say about the netCDF file. > Thanks so much in advance for any help you can provide, > Cory > > ______________________________________ > > J.
