I'd like to see some additional ALMA output variables
added to the models in LIS, particularly in NOAH and
CLM2. First, not all of the water and energy balance
variables are output in these models, and second, we'd
like to compare all of the output variables between all
the models. I've attached a spreadsheet of all the ALMA
variables currently output (at least in LIS 2.3).
In particular, Qf, Qv, Qa, Qtau, DelSurfHeat, DelColdCont,
and DelIntercept are needed in NOAH and CLM2.
RadT, SnowT, VegT, BaresoilT, and Acond are needed in NOAH.
Ecanop and CanopInt are needed in NOAH and CLM2.
Even though, CCond (canopy conductance) is not a strict
ALMA
variable, I'd like this variable to be output in NOAH
and CLM2.
Of course, any others that are applicable would be welcome.
