Description of changes

Add the ndep_inparm namelist to drv_flds_in, so that CTSM can turn on ndep from the ATM model. Also turn on using the ndep from the ATM model for the cam LndTuningMode testmods. And make sure ndep comes from CAM when we are coupled to CAM.

Specific notes

Contributors other than yourself, if any:

CTSM Issues Fixed (include github issue #):

Are answers expected to change (and if so in what way)? Yes (just for the cam LndTuningMode BGC tests)
Answers change to a small amount because of small differences in interpolation and
sending the data through the system as well as the difference between using NDEP_month
rather than the sum of NDEP_NOy_month+NDEP_NHx_month witn single precision data

Any User Interface Changes (namelist or namelist defaults changes)? Yes

Does this create a need to change or add documentation? Did you do so? Yes Yes

Testing performed, if any: Single cases will run aux_clm
Currently only running SMS.ne30pg3_t232.I2000Clm60BgcCrop.derecho_intel.clm-clm60cam7LndTuningMode
with ndep_list = 'noy', 'nhx' at the end of user_nl_clm

OK, started aux_clm on Derecho and Izumi. I'll work on the change files and bring this in after testing looks good.

@ekluzek thanks for this PR! I requested some minor changes. I also asked about the strange appearance of over 3000 new lines in the .rst file.

:sup:`3`\ There are 14 aerosol deposition rates required depending on species and affinity for bonding with water; 8 of these are dust deposition rates (dry and wet rates for 4 dust size bins, :math:`D_{dst,\, dry1},\, D_{dst,\, dry2},\, D_{dst,\, dry3},\, D_{dst,\, dry4}`, :math:`D_{dst,\, \, wet1},D_{dst,\, wet2},\, D_{dst,wet3},\, D_{dst,\, wet4}` ), 3 are black carbon deposition rates (dry and wet hydrophilic and dry hydrophobic rates, :math:`D_{bc,\, dryhphil},\, D_{bc,\, wethphil},\, D_{bc,\, dryhphob}` ), and 3 are organic carbon deposition rates (dry and wet hydrophilic and dry hydrophobic rates, :math:`D_{oc,\, dryhphil},\, D_{oc,\, wethphil},\, D_{oc,\, dryhphob}` ). These fluxes are computed interactively by the atmospheric model (when prognostic aerosol representation is active) or are prescribed from a time-varying (annual cycle or transient), globally-gridded deposition file defined in the namelist (see the CLM4.5 User's Guide). Aerosol deposition rates were calculated in a transient 1850-2009 CAM simulation (at a resolution of 1.9x2.5x26L) with interactive chemistry (troposphere and stratosphere) driven by CCSM3 20\ :sup:`th` century sea-surface temperatures and emissions (:ref:`Lamarque et al. 2010<Lamarqueetal2010>`) for short-lived gases and aerosols; observed concentrations were specified for methane, N\ :sub:`2`\ O, the ozone-depleting substances (CFCs),and CO\ :sub:`2`. The fluxes are used by the snow-related parameterizations (Chapters :numref:`rst_Surface Albedos` and :numref:`rst_Snow Hydrology`).

I did not read through all these other additions, but something seems wrong... Why did all these new lines (from line 296 to 3697) appear here?
