incomplete output from mk_grid (kmt, ok)

Hi,  We are using topography/bathymetry data from Sewall et al (2007) to build a grid for a 90Ma case. We have successfully compiled ns_dipole.f, paleotopo.f90 and grid_bin2nc.f90 and we have run mk_grid.csh after creating a .5x.5 degree resolution grid using create.05degree.ncl The .5 degree grid is correctly created and mk_grid.csh seems to run perfectly well. The resulting kmt looks fine, however, the resulting values for some variables don't make sense. For example, all values of HTN, HTE, HUW and ANGLE are equal to zero. For this reason, kmtEd is not "reading" our grid and we cannot edit it using this tool.  The poles were placed taking into account all the tips, i.e., as close to geographic poles as possible, close to continental edge although 1-2 cells away from the edge of the continent and even placing the NH and SH poles on the same longitudes. We have tried several different pole locations -always fitting these criteria- and different numbers of j lines in the NH and SH (always summing up 116 lines).    We have tried with both a gx3v5 and a gx3v7 vertical grid, respectively using 25 and 60 levels (nz). We cannot find te problem. Any help is more than welcome! Here's a copy of the script of one of our attempts: #!/bin/csh -fv  set echoset verbose#################################################################### Required input file:  # topography/bathymetry file at .5x.5 degree resolution.# This can be obtained from the 2x2 degree resolution data# using create.05deg.ncl in this ocn/src/gridgen.# usage:  % ncl create.05degree.ncl# be sure to compile code in src dir and place executable in bin dir # makefile for ocean code found in ocn/bin ####################################################################Define global variables: set MYDIR = /home/evertoncunha/Downloads/GeradorNC/toolsset CASE  = CTB2set ITER  = 1   # iteration set TOPO  = CTB_topobathy_0.5deg_041213.nc #CTB_topobathy_0.5_yymmdd.ncset DATE  = "`date +%y%m%d`" setenv TOOLSDIR $MYDIRsetenv DATADIR  $TOOLSDIR/ocn/datasetenv RUNDIR   $MYDIR/ocn/binsetenv MYDATA   $MYDIR/ocn/data # cp topo data here if ( (! -e $MYDATA/$TOPO) ) thenecho ''echo 'FATAL ERROR: topo file does not exist locally or in ' $MYDATA '.
