May 30, 2000: VIC release 4.0.1

Increased use of the released VIC model code has lead to the
discovery of a couple of minor bugs. This release fixes those bugs as
well as introducing a improved precipitation correction algorithm based on
Yang et al. 1998. Unless you have encountered these problems or are
trying to correct precipitation undercatch due to wind, in the VIC
model, your results will not be impacted by these fixes.

MODIFIED FILES:
correct_precip.c - changed to WMO correction equation for
NWS 8" standard gauge.
full_energy.c - modified to handle WMO correction.
initialize_atmos.c - modified to handle WMO correction.
fixed error in estimating minimum daily
temperature from sub-daily temperatures.
make_in_and_outfiles.c - removed line that opened the state file
again for each new grid cell.
open_state_file.c - modified comments.
put_data.c - modified to handle WMO correction.
snow_utility.c - cleaned source code.
solve_snow.c - modified to handle WMO correction.
surface_fluxes.c - modified to handle WMO correction.
vicNl.h - modified to handle WMO correction.
vicNl_def.h - modified to handle WMO correction.
