Description
Koby noted some more bugs in P3:
A few notes on P3:
1. The routine ice_supersat_conservation was correctly changed by Aaron a few weeks ago to include sublimation and rain evap as source terms for testing qv depletion, but since deposition tendency (qidep) can be strongly corrected w.r.t the amount of mixed-phase liquid (the WFB process), I suggest to move this water-vapor related correction to be last, just before the ice/liquid state correction. Also the name is a bit confusing ... (please let me know when you have corrections to the code)
2. As for the routine prevent_ice_overdepletion which intend to prevent qvi supersaturation due to evaporative processes, we need to include also rain evaporation like the following:
```
dumqv_sat_i = qv_sat(t_atm,pres,1)
qdep_satadj = (qv-dumqv_sat_i)/(1._rtype + bfb_square(latent_heat_sublim)*dumqv_sat_i/(cp*rv* bfb_square(t_atm) ))*inv_dt
qidep = qidep*min(1._rtype,max(0._rtype, qdep_satadj)/max(qidep, 1.e-20_rtype))
qi2qv_sublim_tend = qi2qv_sublim_tend*min(1._rtype,max(0._rtype,-qdep_satadj)/max((qi2qv_sublim_tend+qr2qv_evap_tend), 1.e-20_rtype))
qr2qv_evap_tend = qr2qv_evap_tend*min(1._rtype,max(0._rtype,-qdep_satadj)/max((qi2qv_sublim_tend+qr2qv_evap_tend), 1.e-20_rtype))
```
I tested the above, and the combination of changing the order and including the rain evaporation reduces the radiative forcing by ~0.25 W/m2 for a 2 yrs simulation.
3. There is a correction for the P3 lookup table based on a bug found by Hugh/Jason in the aggregation part; The new table was given the number 4.1.1 (p3_lookup_table_1.dat-v4.1.1), and table_2 was just copy-past and was given the same number without any change. These change also changes the radiative forcing on the order of ~0.25 w/m2 for a 2yrs simulation
