bedrock layer

[jinmuluo]

Hi,

I'm wondering about the definition of the bedrock layer, for example, if col%nbedrock(c) = 10, does that mean the bedrock layer starts from 10 or next layer 11 is the bedrock?

Best,

An unrelated question here, I found loops in CLM start with the outer loop of depths, and than the inner loop is the column loop. If I reverse the loop order, could that cause trouble for the model?

I generally advise users to try what they have in mind and confirm for themselves. The worst that I would expect is a model crash. More likely, I would expect a change in answers, at the very least due to the change in order of operations. You as the scientist should assess whether the code is still scientifically correct.

Regarding the first question, I typed "git grep nbedrock" in my ctsm directory and found the following possibly useful documentation in the code:

nbedrock => col%nbedrock, & ! Input: [real(r8) (:,:) ] depth to bedrock (m)
