Commented-out code should only be in the repository for a good reason. Please add a comment above the "!wz" lines giving the context. For example: what the code did, why it was removed, and what it should be replaced with. (This can be short, and only understandable by a subject matter expert.)

Good point! I added a comment before "!wz" lines. Thanks!!
In fact, these lines are used to calculate the effective momentum roughness length z0m proposed by Zheng et al.
(2012, https://doi.org/10.1029/2011JD015901). However, the effective z0m formulation is applied only for land, rather than for ice.
Moreover, since "shdmax" is zero over ice, these lines of code yield that z0max is actually 0.01 which is the momentum roughness length over bare soil (z0g) and not related to the ice momentum roughness length.

Looks good to me.


z0max = max(z0max, zmin)
