This release includes major refactoring of land surface processes for enabling improved evapotranspiration models.

  1. New options for "land cover types," conceptually similar to Plant Functional Types in ESM land models or to National Land Cover Indices, these allow partitioning the surface for use in various processes, typically governing evapotranspiration.
  2. Updated Arctic evaporation to use this new concept, but also making evaporation in ice-rich conditions much more robust than previously. The old model is still available, and is documented in tests, but demos will migrate to the newer model.
  3. Addition of a few Priestley-Taylor models, including a basic one based on PRMS (this existed previously but is improved here) and a new one allowing canopy, snow and bare ground evaporation, along with transpiration from the rooting zone.

Note that this version is the version of the code to be used in the Sept 2021 workshop training on ATS.
Also, updating release notes (no change to code) to establish DOI with Zenodo.
