add UT and UQ to cam_diagnostics #807

Open adamrher opened 1 year ago

adamrher commented 1 year ago

What is the feature/what would you like to discuss?

cam_diagnostics.F90 output's most of the resolved fluxes (e.g., VT and VQ), but are missing UT and UQ. We'd also like to output OMEGA^2. There may more missing fluxes we'd like to add, and so we should flesh that out in this thread.

Is there anyone in particular you want to be part of this conversation?

@islasimpson

Will this change (regression test) answers?

No

Will you be implementing this enhancement yourself?

Any CAM SE can do this

Thanks for opening this Adam. UT, UQ, and OMEGA2 would definitely be helpful to add. If OMEGAQ isn't already included, then it too (not sure if it's missing from cam_diagnostics.f90 or just not part of the standard h tapes). Perhaps not as widely useful, but OMEGAU and OMEGAV will become more important as climate models increase in resolution to resolve conditional instability and the associated conversion from mean flow to mesoscale TKE via these terms.

@adamrher and @rcjwills - What priority does this need CoupledEval2 (for Cecile's upcoming run) or CoupledEval3? Not makin any promises if you request CoupledEval2 :-)

adamrher commented 1 year ago

not high; just wanting this in CESM3.
