Hello, I am a new user of the CLM model. The following questions might seem a bit naive, but I hope you can help me with them:
In my CLM model output files, the H2OSOI (soil moisture) variable has 15 layers, but I checked the user manual and found that it should have 20 layers. Also, the values for the soil layers seem strange; they are irrational numbers, including:
0.00710063
0.02792499959
0.06225857511
0.1188650653
0.2121933997
0.3660658002
0.6197584867
1.038027048
1.727635264
2.864607096
4.739156723

My questions are:
- Is this output correct?
- Are the units of the soil layers in the output in real physical layers, and are the units in meters?
- If I need to interpolate the data to other layers, do I simply need to use the command cdo intlevel,0.05,0.25,0.7,1.5 X.nc X1.nc?
