= Optimization of the SOil freezing parameterization =


Soil freezing follows from the initial work of Isabelle Goutevin [[BR]]


* Following the modification of the TRUNK since the initial implementation, issues related to the infiltration of water in the soil appeared: see summary under [attachment: Infiltration_solsgeles_v3.docx​ Soil freezing infiltration problems and suggestions]


==> Several tests have been performed to accound for sub-grid variability of soil freezing in order to limit the reduction of infiltration due to soil freezing. 

Results of some tests can be found under: [https://orchidas.lsce.ipsl.fr/dev/freeze.3934.php test_soil_freezing]
