I agree the practice in ELM of initializing to NAN and then using that in if statements needs to go. Why not initialize to some really large value like 10^8?

Getting rid of the NaN inits would be a good thing.

PR that increased to 10 looks pretty straightforward https://github.com/E3SM-Project/E3SM/pull/3860

What is the status of this PR?

Is this ready to be merged?

Telecon: ready but have a higher BGC PR to work on.

Telecon: ready. Needs conflicts resolved.

Is this needed for any BGC v2 simulations?

Is this a v3 feature?

@keziming please fix the PR title.
