Dear ccm3 users:

I found there is a huge snow height difference between ccm3 and
NCEP/NCAR reanalysis.

For example, around south pole, in September,2000, the snow height given
by NCEP/NCAR reanalysis is around 50m. While looking at file
SEP1.T42.0198.nc (climatological equilibrium state in September) from ccm3
package, the snow height at the same region is around 0.15m.

I feel this is not the problem of units. Could any of you tell me why
there is such a big difference?

Thanks,
Xuguang
