Annual mean temperature unit #30

@barlage I am wandering what is the right unit (°C/K) for annual mean temperature for initializing HRLDAS.

In this, otherwise very useful, NCL script is is defined in °C ("annual_mean_temperature = 10.9 ; will be used as deep soil temperature"), but the variable TMN where it is stored is generally considered to be in K (in the HRLDAS code)

Thank you for help.
