Hard-wired vegetation types #347

Open rml599gh opened 1 month ago

rml599gh commented 1 month ago

An issue to start collecting cases where vegetation numbers are hard-wired or vegetation ordering is assumed.

subroutine um2cable_lp in cable_um_init_subrs.F90 appears to have a special case for permanent ice (confusingly called perma frost in the comment line). If I'm reading it correctly, this assumes ice is the last tile. I suspect it would be better to remove this special case from the code and just prepare ancillary files which have the values in that we want to use - I think this is mostly being used for soil ancillary fields.

phenology This needs a thorough review - there is clearly an assumption that relates the ordering of the phenology inputs to the vegetation type ordering - particularly impacts casa_inout and casa_readbiome
