[MITgcm-support] aim.5l_LatLon Topography File Format

[taimaz.bahadory]

I haven't changed any other file bu just the "topo.filt_55l.bin".
Anyway, there are some other files I was suspicious about
(landFRC.fullcell.bin, stheta.*.ft.bin, which I guess is the place where
temperatures are set), and I tried to make them compatible with my new
topography file (i.e. make sure to have a temperature between 100 and 400
in places which I have land), but still the problem persists (just the word
"Temp" in the previous error is replaced by "TS").
