+In :eq:`5.67`, if :math:`q_{atm} - q_{soil} < 0`, then :math:`r_{soil}=0`. Furthermore, if :math:`q_{atm} - q_{soil} < 0` and :math:`T_{g} > T_{atm,\,dp}`, then :math:`E_{g}=E_{soil}=E_{sno}=E_{h2osfc}=0`. This limits sporadic large dew fluxes that can result in unrealistically high surface temperatures passed to the atmospheric model (The RRTMGP component in particular, which returns an error and stops the model if the surface temperature is greater than 355K).
