| 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 | |||||||

| 42 | tasmax | Daily Maximum Near-Surface Air Temperature | TREFHTMX TREFMXAV (available on h0 starting v2) | J. Zhang | Update Jun 13, 2022 The monthly averaged daily mean max/min surface temperature are now standard output on h0 starting v2. 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. Mar 22, 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 | ||||||||
