@gbonan just a heads up that I will request your review of these updates when I'm done.
So far I have addressed 2a and 2b from your pdf.

@gbonan I have now addressed issue (3) from your pdf.

Regarding issue (4), I found the equation in this form:
jmax25top = ((2.59_r8 - 0.035_r8*min(max((t10(p)-tfrz),11._r8),35._r8)) * vcmax25top) * params_inst%jmax25top_sf
Does the jmax25top_sf (scaling factor) parameter at the end correspond to what's discussed in the Canopy Scaling subsection of Section 2.9? That I'm not sure about. Do you know?

Answered my question about the missing jmax25top_sf in the documentation:
jmax25top_sf = 1 in the clm paramfile, so it's ok to not mention in the documentation.

I have now addressed issue (6) and I will go along with your assessment in issue (7) rather than pursuing further.

I left the most difficult (or time consuming) of Gordon's issues for last, and I am considering opening a separate PR for it for clearer tracking. This is what's left:

Parameters are given in Table 2.9.1, Table 2.9.2, or are in the text. These need to be updated. There are a lot!

Notes to self:

  • Paused at Rd25 before eq. 2.9.9 (check params in SP mode; BGC mode already addressed)
  • Saved latest paramfile in /glade/derecho/scratch/slevis/ctsm60_params.c260518.asc`
