The calculating process of variable pmxrgn

Dear,The variable pmxrgn is calculated in pkg_cldoptics.F90 with subroutine cldovrlap. The variable pint defined here is the interface pressure and the variable pnm has the same definition. However, the code in subroutine has a scale factor of 10, that is pnm(i,:)=pint(i,:)*10._r8I wonder is there any difference between these two variables. A factor of 10 will cause a big difference in calculating pmxrgn and thus affecting total, low, medium and high cloud amount.Thanks for your soon reply!
