The CloudConvFlux collection

The CloudConvFlux collection contains diagnostics for mass fluxes in cloud convection.

Here is a sample definition section for the CH4 collection.

  • If this collection is not already present in the HISTORY.rc file in the GEOS-Chem run directory for your selected simulation, you can copy and paste this into your HISTORY.rc file and edit accordingly.
  • To prevent an individual field from being included in the diagnostic output, place a comment character # in front of the field name.
  • Please see our Legend for History diagnostics page for more information about each of the collection tags.

  CloudConvFlux.format:       'CFIO',
  CloudConvFlux.frequency:    00000100 000000
  CloudConvFlux.duration:     00000100 000000
  CloudConvFlux.mode:         'time-averaged'
  CloudConvFlux.fields:       'CloudConvFlux_?ADV?           ', 'GIGCchem',

This table describes the diagnostic quantities belonging to the CloudConvFlux collection:

Diagnostic name Description Units Wildcards Simulations Notes Bpch equiv.
CloudConvFlux_<spcname> Mass change due to cloud convection kg/s
  • ?ADV?
  • ?GAS?
  • ?WET?
  • all simulations
