Research direction
Start with the getvar documentation entry for cldfra and trace the corresponding implementation or tests in wrf-python. Compare the documented percent units with the routine's actual [0,1] result and determine whether the intended fix is in the documentation or returned value. Done means the documentation and behavior agree, with relevant checks passing.
