+    ! cell because it is the maximum value. (This treatment is important so that we give
+    ! priority to non-zero indices, and more generally allow setting up the glacier region
+    ! indices so that higher values take precedence - i.e., if a CTSM grid cell has any
+    ! overlap with a higher-valued region, we use that region.)
