Based on meetings with land group, more cmorized variables are desired for supporting ilamb analysis. An CLM2 to CMIP conversion table was available (provided by @Daniel Ricciuto): /home/ac.ricciuto/models/ilamb_processing/alm2ilamb_wkflow/clm_to_mip.

Mean monthly comparison shows same spatial patterns and magnitudes in general. Differences between the raw data and CMIP6 data may be caused by the different remapping methods I was using to convert ne30 resolution (raw data) to 1-deg lat long (CMIP6).

LITTERC_LOSS contain fluxes (1) from litter to soil = fLitterSoil (2) form litter to atmophsere part 1 = heterotrophic respiration (3) from litter to atmophsere part 2 = fire loss; therefore minus respiration and fire loss from LITTERC_LOSS, the rest is fLitterSoil

From variable 28 are added for v3, not verified and added to e3sm_to_cmip.

From variable 12-27 are BGC specific variables for publication;

fVegLitter and fLitterSoil formula were not confirmed by a domain expert.

cSoil and npp were added March 2021.e3sm_to_cmip handlers were not formulated as of Jan 10, 2022
