[RegCNET] Max cloud fraction

[Alexander Bryan]

Hi RegCNet,

Could someone point me to a reference that explains where the default value
for maximum cloud fraction (cftotmax = 0.75) comes from? Does this cap mean
that the cloud fraction output variable (totcf) does not allow for overcast
skies? Can this variable be reliably used as input for a lake circulation
model?
