MODULE cable_latent_heat_module
  !* This MODULE contains one SUBROUTINE which evaluates the latent heat from

  ! evaporation. This is a component of the calculation of the surface energy
  ! balance and is called twice per cycle in the MO iteration section of
  ! [[define_canopy]].

  !*## Purpose
  !
  ! This SUBROUTINE converts the previously evaluated rate of potential
  ! evaporation `ssnow_potev` from the soil into the associated latent heat flux
  ! `canopy_fes`. The evaluation accounts for whether the water flux is
  ! in liquid or solid phase (evaporation or sublimation, dew or frost),
  ! the direction of the flux (to or from the soil), and any limits due to a lack of
  ! water in the surface layer of the soil column.  The SUBROUTINE also evaluates
  ! the partition of the latent heat flux between soil `canopy_fess` and
  ! puddle `canopy_fesp` contributions.
  !
  !## Warning
  !
  ! This current CABLE implementation is possibly confusing.
  ! The variable `ssnow_potev` is not potential evaporation (in kg water
  ! m\(^{-2}\)s\(^{-1}\)) but is instead the latent heat flux (in Wm\(^{-2}\))
  ! associated with the potential evaporation.
  ! `ssnow_potev` assumes that the water flux described by the potential
  ! evaporation is of liquid water regardless of temperature
  ! and/or whether the surface is covered by snow. Additionally one option for the
  ! evaluation of `ssnow_potev` (the [[Penman_Monteith]] option) does not function
  ! correctly over frozen surfaces. A bug fix will require changes to
  ! [[define_canopy]], [[Penman_Monteith]] and this SUBROUTINE; comments have been
  ! inserted into the code accordingly.  
  !
  ! The subroutine implicitly sets `ssnow_wetfac=1` over snow but does not 
  ! actually change the value of `ssnow_wetfac` for these points.
  ! Later on, other calculations use `ssnow_wetfac` and may use a different
  ! `ssnow_wetfac` value over snow. It is important to note,
  ! [[Surf_wetness_fact]] calculates `ssnow_wetfac` and sets it to 0.9
  ! over snow. And the value for points with new snow could be smaller.

!|## Method
!
! 'Potential evaporation' quantifies the theoretical value of evaporation from
! a fully saturated surface (i.e. with no limits on water availability) at a given
! temperature and humidity, in response to the available energy.
! This SUBROUTINE evaluates the value of the latent heat flux from the
! ground/soil/snow pack given the potential evaporation according to one of four cases
! (see Ticket 137)
!
!  1. evaporation from/dew onto surfaces where there is no snow and
!     when soil temperature > freezing point
!  2. sublimation from/deposition of frost onto surfaces where there is snow cover
!  3. evaporation of liquid water from a frozen soil column if there is no snow present
!     (sublimation of frozen water from within the soil column is not possible per CABLE)
!  4. deposition of frost onto frozen soils if there is no snow cover
!
! while satisfying any constraints due to limits from soil moisture availability.
!<br></br>
! There are six outputs from this SUBROUTINE
!
! * three latent heat fluxes (soil, puddle and total). Note that these fluxes
! are referenced to the area of the land point and not to the area of the
! puddle/non-puddle split.
! * `pwet` quantifying the impact of puddles in reducing the latent heat flux from the soil.
! * `ssnow_wetfac` quantifying the control of soil moisture on the rate of evaporation.
! * `ssnow_cls` quantifying whether the latent heat flux represents a change between
! liquid/vapour of ice/vapour phases.
!<br></br>
! `ssnow_cls` takes one of two values - 1.0 if the flux of water is of liquid, and
! 1.1335 if the flux of water is of ice.  1.1335 = latent heat of sublimation of ice /
! latent heat of evaporation of liquid water.  
!
! **IMPORTANT** the value of `ssnow_cls` set in this SUBROUTINE is used to control whether
! the water fluxes from the snow pack/soil column are of liquid or solid water
! in [[soil_snow]] (and its SUBROUTINES).
! Inconsistencies between the two sets of SUBROUTINES
! would lead to loss of energy closure and/or loss of mass.
!
!<br></br>
!## Workflow
! The underpinning equation linking the \(\beta\)-formulation for the soil latent heat flux
! to the potential evaporation is
!
! \(\lambda E_s = \beta c_{ls} \lambda E_{pot} \)
!
! where \(\lambda\) =`air_rlam` is the latent heat of evaporation
! (which can theoretically vary so is an mp-array), \(c_{ls}\)=`ssnow_cls`
! is a factor set by the phase of the water being fluxed,
! \(\beta\)=`ssnow_wetfac` is a coefficient quantifying the control that soil surface
! layer moisture has on evaporation, and \(\lambda E_{pot}\)=`ssnow_potev`
! is the latent heat flux associated with the potential evaporation.
!
! <br></br>
! The workflow is
!
! 1. A first estimate for the soil latent heat flux is calculated
! assuming that the flux is of liquid water. If `ssnow_potev` is negative
! any limitation due to soil moisture availability is negected.
! <br></br>
WHERE (ssnow_potev < 0. ) ssnow_wetfac(:) = 1.0
canopy_fess= ssnow_wetfac * ssnow_potev

!| 2. If there is water in the puddle store `ssnow_pudsto`, the fraction
! of surface area covered by the puddle is quantified, `pwet` (between 0-0.2).
! The soil latent heat flux is reduced by the change in area fraction.
! <br></br>
pwet = MAX(0.,MIN(0.2,ssnow_pudsto/MAX(1.,ssnow_pudsmx)))
canopy_fess = canopy_fess * (1.-pwet)

! frescale is a factor used to convert an amount of water (in m3/m3)
! in the surface layer of the soil into a limit on the soil latent heat flux.
! 1000 is the density of water in kg/m3
frescale = soil_zse * density_liq * air_rlam / dels

!| 3. (the main loop) The value for \(c_{ls}\) and additional limits
! on the latent heat flux(es) are applied, according to which of the four cases
! is occurring.  Inside the loop the workflow is as follows:
!
DO j=1,mp

  IF(ssnow_snowd(j) < 0.1 .AND. canopy_fess(j) .GT. 0. ) THEN

!|    - For cases 1 and 3 the flux is of liquid water, \(c_{ls} =1\).
!     
!     - Limit 1: For cases 1 and 3 there must be sufficient liquid water in the surface
!       soil layer to provide the water for evaporation. This sets
!       the maximum soil latent heat flux possible, `fupper_limit`.  Two options
!       are provided for `fupper_limit`, set by the `cable_user_l_new_reduce_soilevap`
!       switch.
!       The options differ in the amount of water that remains at the end of the time step.

!        frozen_limit=0.85.  This provides a second upper limit on the evaporation and
