Specific notes
Contributors other than yourself, if any:
CTSM Issues Fixed (include github issue #): #2755
Are answers expected to change (and if so in what way)?
Yes, some urban variables such as urban 2m air temperature, 2m relative humidity, urban air-conditioning and heating energy fluxes will change slightly. See #2755 for details.
Any User Interface Changes (namelist or namelist defaults changes)? No.
Does this create a need to change or add documentation? Did you do so?
I have updated the inline documentation in the code where it's needed. I personally don't think it requires changing or adding documentation elsewhere, but if so, I would be happy to help.
Testing performed, if any:
The original code change was done based on ctsm5.2.001, with which I performed one land-only simulation for the year 2000 under DEBUG mode, and the simulation ran as expected. Details are available in #2755. I did not run additional tests after syncing the branch to the latest CTSM main.
