Description of Changes:
The parameters F0 and F1 which represent environmental moisture deficiency and govern the entrainment rate in the SAS deep convection scheme, exhibit an issue when aerosol-cloud interactions (ACIs) are active in seasonal-to-seasonal forecasts. Specifically, these parameters can become unexpectedly large, leading to a model crash. A solution is to limit F0 < 3, suggested by Jongil
