First the simple stuff to make sure we are all on the same page here.
I've enclosed the published params.h, preproc.h and the namelist for the
Acker run. To reproduce the run you will need to compile and run with these
settings. Also you will need to ensure you are compiling with 8-byte words
on the Sun.

Secondly, what version of the model are you using? I assume you are running with
CCM3.2? The actual run was with CCM3.0. But 3.2 is bit-for-bit with 3.0, so that
should not be a problem. But, you should note that because IEEE words are slightly
different than Cray words, you CAN NOT exactly reproduce the Acker run on a
different machine. The climate should of course be similar, but different machines
by nature give different results. The arctic surface temps -- is that the
monthly average over the entire arctic, or the max difference over a single point
at a given point in time?
