Abstract Fix to include deep inland water.
Problem Statement 1. We updated our backup database before collection 5 reprocessing and intended to include the deep inland water. However, we recently realizedthat we need to comment out one line in the code to actually make this happen.
2. A small bug was found on range checking for the input data.
Description of Change The corresponding line was commented out so that we could capture lake ice in the winter in the center of very deep lakes (like the Great Lakes). Changes were also made to fix that range checking bug.
