Revised approach to initialize snowh from sneqv instead of a fixed value #1072

Open thomasuhoh opened 1 year ago

thomasuhoh commented 1 year ago

This PR adds a different approach to initialize "snowh" from "snow" field in case no information about physical snow depth is available from, e.g., GFS or ECMWF analysis. The approach is based on the work from Hill et al., 2019, The Cryosphere, 13: https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-13-1767-2019
