Soil moisture in met_em* files has negative values

[yanhongyi]

Hello, I recently planned to study the effect of soil moisture on air temperature, so I wanted to modify the soil moisture in the met_em* files.

However, I found out today that there are negative values in the soil moisture (Variable: SM, SM000007, SM007028, SM028100, SM100289), which confuses me. My met_em* files are all generated using ERA5 data as forcing data.

Or, in the calculation (met_em* to wrfinput+wrfbdy), all numbers less than 0 will be treated as 0?

Thanks!
Hongyi
