Hi Hai-shan,

While we're talking about ORO, the problem is that you can potentially
have two definitions of where the land is. One is as the ORO variable in
the atmosphere initial conditions file, the other is in the LSM non-time
evolving file (surf2d in fsurdat, or as generated on-line and written to
lsmi_arbini.nc, etc). The LSM data will overwrite the original ORO data
- under the assumption that LSM knows more about the land that the
atmosphere model. During initialisation, there is a check to make sure
this overwriting did nothing. If this is not the case, it is assumed
that LSM is right, and ORO from the initial conditions is wrong. To stop
this message, the easiest fix is to make sure ORO is correct in the
initial conditions. However, I don't recall this occurring when you
compile the model "out of the box" and use the example data sets (on a
number of supported UNIXes). If you have interpolated to get a different
resolution, this is not necessarily the case. Although, I don't think it
is a problem (just make sure the LSM data is correct!), you might be
suspicious about the port (?) (hint: lat=2 is in Antarctica, where LSM
can do some redefining).
