Short description of the diagnostic
I would like to implement a new diagnostic calculating the total budget/mass for a given atmospheric tracer (typically o3 or ch4). It also can do the budget for a sub-part of the atmosphere (typically the troposphere) by masking the input data. My feeling would have been to develop a new diagnostic but maybe it would need to be included in preprocessors?
Anyway, I already have some personal scripts to do this I extracted and joined the relevant parts (sowewhat dirty).
This is my first development for ESMValTool so i'm taking any feedback before diving into the code.
