CMT numbers for EML project

[tobeycarman]

@hgenet, can you verify that CMTs 8, 9 and 10 here should be moved to the EML cmt number space (20-39)?

Tobey,

CMT9 and 10 are EML/DeepRoot. But CMT 8 (shrubland) should be listed in the IEM group. Because it is not a CMT identified in the land cover map yet, we should give it a number >= 12 (landcover classes in the landcover maps go from 0 to 11). This Shrubland parameterization will be used down the line when ATM and DVMDOSTEM will be coupled.

OK, sounds good. Sorry, I know you mentioned that the other day, I should have remembered.

Is the name "Shrubland" appropriately distinct from "Shrub Tundra"?

FWIW, the veg map I have been using (from atlas:/atlas_scratch/tem/snap-data/iem_ancillary_data/Landcover/LandCover_iem_TEM_2005.tif) only has classes 0-7:

Yes Tobey, Shrubland is different from Shrub tundra. This shurbland parameterization has been developed from sites selected and described by Vijay Patil in the Yukon Flats for his PhD. One way to describe them would be lowland boreal wet shrubland.

OK, maybe I will put it as "Lowland Boreal Wet Shrubland". Kind of a mouthful, but it is very explicit, which I usually appreciate down the line.

Also note that there are some options for the param-util.py script that make it easy to check that all the files are consistent. dmvdostem itself doesn't really pay heed to the comments for the CMTs in the parameter files, but some of our downstream programs and scripts (calibration viewers etc) will can be enhanced with nice text labels if the names in our files are consistent. And our integration with PEcAn will also benefit from keeping things nice clean and standard.

Here is an example of how I have been using param-util.py to see that the community types are named/numbered the same across different files (this is before I edited as we have talked about above):
