As noted in the PR of #527 - there is some missing science around what happens to transpiration when soil is partially frozen that needs careful consideration.

At the moment there is no limitation on the amount of water that can be transpired other than maintaining wb < swilt - we also need to recognise that there needs to be sufficient liquid water around to support the flux as well. This issue is going to bbe potentially more problematic with the accommodation of different density of liquid and frozen water.

This likely involves interactions between cbl_remove_trans, get_rex1d, surfbv (where ice gets forcibly melted to ensure wbice/wb > frozen_limit) and the setting of fwsoil`.
