+One-line Summary: limit surface T to valid range for RRTMGP
+Github PR URL: https://github.com/ESCOMP/CAM/pull/1184
+
+Purpose of changes (include the issue number and title text for each relevant GitHub issue):
+
+. Jim Edwards reported that regression testing of cesm3_0_alpha05a using
+  the cam6_4_043 tag was encountering failures due to the following error:
+
+  radiation_tend: ERROR: kdist_lw%gas_optics: gas_optics(): array tsfc has values outside range
+
+  t_sfc is computed using input LW surface fluxes from the surface models via:
+
+   t_sfc = sqrt(sqrt(cam_in%lwup(:ncol)/stebol))
+
+  To work around this problem we have added limiters to keep t_sfc in the
+  valid range for RRTMGP.  Temperatures above the surface are already being
+  limited to be in RRTMGP's valid range before being passed to the gas
+  optics code.
+
+Describe any changes made to build system: none
+
+Describe any changes made to the namelist: none
+
+List any changes to the defaults for the boundary datasets: none
+
+Describe any substantial timing or memory changes: none
+
+Code reviewed by: peverwhee, brianpm
+
+List all files eliminated: none
+
+List all files added and what they do: none
+
+List all existing files that have been modified, and describe the changes:
+
+src/physics/rrtmgp/rrtmgp_inputs.F90
+. limit t_sfc to valid temperature range
+
+If there were any failures reported from running test_driver.sh on any test
+platform, and checkin with these failures has been OK'd by the gatekeeper,
+then copy the lines from the td.*.status files for the failed tests to the
+appropriate machine below.  All failed tests must be justified.
