27	mc	~~Convective Mass Flux~~
28	o3	Mole Fraction of O3		O3	o3 = O3			interpolated to 19 pressure levels. Philip Cameron-Smith (Unlicensed): Yes, the E3SM variable O3 is what is wanted here. However, it would be good to note somehow that "Stratospheric ozone is prognostic, and tropospheric ozone follows the input4mips prescribed concentrations."					yes
29	pfull	Pressure at Model Full-Levels		P0, PS, hyam, hybm	pfull = P0hyam + PShybm		Chris Golaz		J.Zhang	04 Jun 2019	yes	fixed	yes(pfull is monthly data instead of climotology according to our formula. cmor asks for climatology but it is not clear years to average over. It is safer to have monthly data and consistent with other Amon variables 11 Jul 2019 )

34	rlutcs	TOA Outgoing Clear-Sky Longwave Radiation	toa_outgoing_longwave_flux_assuming_ clear_sky	FLUTC	rlutcs = FLUTC	yes	Chris Golaz	Slight approximation here since we are using TOM, but NCAR does the same.	J.Zhang	31 May 2019	yes	fixed	yes

42	~~tasmax~~	~~Daily Maximum Near-Surface Air Temperature~~		~~TREFHTMX~~			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. 22 Mar 2019 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 not useful
43	~~tasmin~~	~~Daily Minimum Near-Surface Air Temperature~~		~~TREFHTMN~~			J. Zhang	Same as above
44	ua	Eastward Wind		U	ua = U		Chris Golaz	interpolated to 19 pressure levels					yes
