A question when I ddd new prescribed moisture streams feature in CESM2

Hi, everyone.

I would like to carry out an experiment with prescribed climatology of soil moisture over the land. I set "use_soil_moisture_streams = .true. ". I think the prescribed soil moisture file will replace the model prognostically determining soil moisture. My question is how often does this happen? For example, the mode output will be replaced once with the prescribed file after 3 hours? If so, there is still an interaction between the land and the atmosphere, except that soil moisture is not affected by the atmosphere because the model output is replaced by the specified file?

Any hints would be helpful! Thanks in advance!
Best,
Kaiwen

The soil moisture from the file is interpolated to the model time step. See src/cpl/share_esmf/SoilMoistureStreamMod.F90
