[Bug]: stratospheric water vapor (H2OLNZ) figure is not generated #867

Closed tangq closed 4 weeks ago

What happened?

The stratospheric water vapor (H2OLNZ) figure is not generated in the zonal_mean_2d_stratosphere set. This is particularly important for E3SMv3 simulations because stratospheric water vapor was changed to H2OLNZ from Q.

What did you expect to happen? Are there are possible answers you came across?

What is the difference between H2OLNZ and Q?

chengzhuzhang commented 3 weeks ago

@tangq provided some context earlier for me to understand:

In v3, we implemented the Linoz v3 scheme that includes the stratospheric water vapor source from methane oxidization. The variable is called “H2OLNZ” and it equals to Linoz v3 water vapor (in stratosphere) and Q (in troposphere). The radiation code was also changed accordingly to use “H2OLNZ” for their calculations (i.e., specified by rad_climate).

H2OLNZ and Q only differ in stratosphere.

That's right, @chengzhuzhang .

rljacob commented 3 weeks ago

Doesn't the water vapor from methane oxidation get added to Q? Or is it tracked separately?
