Description
Hi,
In ./build/source/engine/vegNrgFlux.f90, there are several drag coefficient that looks like they are fixed in the code:
```
real(rkind),parameter :: C_r = 0.3 ! roughness element drag coefficient (-) from Raupach (BLM, 1994)
real(rkind),parameter :: C_s = 0.003_rkind ! substrate surface drag coefficient (-) from Raupach (BLM, 1994)
real(rkind),parameter :: approxDragCoef_max = 0.3_rkind ! maximum value of the approximate drag coefficient (-) from Raupach (BLM, 1994)
real(rkind),parameter :: psi_h = 0.193_rkind ! roughness sub-layer influence function (-) from Raupach (BLM, 1994)
real(rkind),parameter :: c_d1 = 7.5_rkind ! scaling parameter used to define displacement height (-) from Raupach (BLM, 1994)
real(rkind),parameter :: cd_CM = 0.2_rkind ! mean drag coefficient for individual leaves (-) from Choudhury and Monteith (QJRMS, 1988)
```
Following Raupach (1994), these parameters are not constants.
In this regard, I would like to suggest moving these parameters to the parameter file so users can modify them as needed.
Warm regards,
