Description

@mvertens is making changes in CESM so that solid & liquid runoff fluxes from CISM are routed to the runoff model rather than directly to the ocean. The plan in MOSART is for these fluxes to be routed through separately so they can be maintained as separate fluxes sent to the ocean – i.e., MOSART will export separate fluxes-to-ocean for GLC-derived runoff than for LND-derived runoff. Long-term, we want the same behavior in RTM.

If it will be a while – say, post-CESM3 – before this can be put in place, then a short-term solution is to import these two new fluxes (GLC-derived solid & liquid runoff) and add some error-checking to ensure that they're zero, aborting if not.

Note that this is only important for configurations with an evolving ice sheet. However, the tentative plan is for the standard CESM3 configurations to have an evolving ice sheet.
