Confusing q_sum definition in output statistics. #151

Open Sierd opened 1 year ago

Sierd commented 1 year ago

I would like to get rid of the q_sum definition. I cannot see how this can be used without causing confusion in some cases. Summing over a model timestep that is not equal to the output timestep produces an non-transparent and non consistent result. Instead I would like to promote using the avg parameter which can be multiplied by any timestep to calculate total transports.

Does anyone use q_sum?
