@rhaesung These changes all look good to me.
I have a few tiny suggestions for the precision to make the code more portable.

Looks ok to me.
The code of this PR was provided by @JongilHan66.
Modified prognostic updraft fraction (sigmab) calculation in 'progsigma_calc.f90' which is physically more sound:
a) moisture convergence calculation: integrate from the convection source level rather than from the cloud base
b) 2D advection of sigmab: sigmab advection averaged over the cloud layers rather than taking a maximum sigmab advection from k=2 to the model top
c) To suppress unrealistically large reflectivity in the model first time step, minimum sigmab at the first time step is set to zero
Fix in missing vertical transport of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) when aerosol transport is turned on (samfdeepcnv.f & samfshalcnv.f)
Introduce TKE at model layer interfaces (tkeh) for use in convection schemes (GFS_typedefs.F90, GFS_typedefs.meta, satmedmfvdifq.F, satmedmfvdifq.meta, samfdeepcnv.f, samfdeepcnv.meta, samfshalcnv.f, and samfshalcnv.meta)
Vertical transports of hydrometeor variables are currently not allowed in the convection schemes. But vertical transports of number concentrations of only cloud water and ice are mistakenly allowed, which is fixed in this update (CCPP_typedefs.F90)
All the modifications and bug fixes above had neutral impacts on the GFS forecasts
