| 11 | tauu | Surface Downward Eastward Wind Stress | TAUX | tauu = -TAUX | yes | J.Zhang | Note, I was analyzing this variable from e3sm output. It turns out that TAUX(Y) is surface stress, which is in opposite direction to tauu(v) (wind stress). This was not caught in CAM's conversion table. |
| 12 | tauv | Surface Downward Northward Wind Stress | TAUY | tauv =- TAUY | yes | J.Zhang | Same as above |

| 34 | rlut | TOA Outgoing Longwave Radiation | FSNTOA, FSNT, FLNT | rlut = FSNTOA - FSNT + FLNT | Equation originally from NCAR. Using this ensures that individual TOA terms (SW, LW, up/down) are consistent with TOM net flux (rtmt): rtmt = rsdt - rsut - rlut | ||
| 35 | rlutcs | TOA Outgoing Clear-Sky Longwave Radiation | FLUTC | rlutcs = FLUTC | Slight approximation here since we are using TOM, but NCAR does the same. | ||

| 43 | J. Zhang | We cannot use monthly h0 output for this. But the necessary data is in daily h1 files. We would have to create time series of monthly averages from these daily files. double checked that TREFHTMX and TREFHTMN saved to h1 have the same values as TREFHT. Checked code in cam_diagnostics.F90, TREFMNAV and TREFMXAV should be the correct field to output. Unfortunately, those high frequency data saved are note useful | |||||
