    ! Purpose : This is a driver routine to compute eddy diffusion coefficients        !
    !           for heat (sl), momentum (u, v), moisture (qt), and other  trace        !
    !           constituents.   This scheme uses first order closure for stable        !
    !           turbulent layers (STL). For convective layers (CL), entrainment        !
    !           closure is used at the CL external interfaces, which is coupled        !
    !           to the diagnosis of a CL regime mean TKE from the instantaneous        !
    !           thermodynamic and velocity profiles.   The CLs are diagnosed by        !
    !           extending original CL layers of moist static instability   into        !
    !           adjacent weakly stably stratified interfaces,   stopping if the        !
    !           stability is too strong.   This allows a realistic depiction of        !
    !           dry convective boundary layers with a downgradient approach.           !
    !                                                                                  !   
    ! NOTE:     This routine currently assumes ntop_turb = 1, nbot_turb = pver         !

       !   2. Surface-based CL with multiple layers and 'bflxs =< 0'                !
       !   3. Surface-based CL with multiple layers and 'bflxs > 0'                 !
       !   4. Regular elevated CL with two entraining interfaces                    ! 
       !   5. SRCLs. If SRCL is based at surface, it will be bflxs < 0.             !
       ! '1-4' were identified from 'zisocl' while '5' were identified separately   !
       ! after performing 'zisocl'. CL regime index of '1-4' increases with height  !
       ! ( e.g., CL = 1 is the CL regime nearest to the surface ) while CL regime   !
       ! index of SRCL is simply appended after the final index of CL regimes from  !
       ! 'zisocl'. However, CL regime indices of SRCLs itself increases with height !
       ! when there are multiple SRCLs, similar to the regular CLs from 'zisocl'.   !

       ! accounted by using 'dwsurf = tkes/b1' when bflxs > 0. This approach is fully !

       ! is to calculate 'dl2n2_surf'  and  'dl2s2_surf' of surface interfacial layer !
       ! separately, and this contribution is explicitly added by initializing 'l2n2' !
       ! 'l2s2' not by zero, but by 'dl2n2_surf' and 'ds2n2_surf' below.  At the same !
       ! time, 'dwsurf' should be excluded in 'wint' calculation below. The only diff.!
       ! between two approaches is that in case of the latter approach, contributions !
       ! of surface interfacial layer to the CL mean stability function (ri,gh,sh,sm) !
       ! are explicitly included while the first approach is not. In this sense,  the !
