V10 not in standard CAM output

[Andrie]

Hi team,

I am setting up some fully coupled CESM2.1.2 simulations and trying to decide which variables to add to the fincl1 stream of the CAM output.
I noticed that V10 is not a default output while U10 is.

My question now would be:
1. Can I just add V10 to the cesm212/components/cam/src/physics/cam/cam_diagnostics.F90 file (i.e. everywhere where it is mentioning U10, I would copy the line and adjust it to V10). Or is that not possible due to a certain reason?
2. Looking into how V10 is actually calculated, I did some grep searches and ended up looking at the cesm212/components/cam/src/utils/sgexx.F90 file. I am unsure if that is the right file, but in case it is I do not understand how V10 is computed there.

Thanks a lot for your help!

U10 is the 10 meter wind speed, not the U component of the wind at 10 meters.

So sorry for the oversight on my end.

I know it doesn't make much sense. Perhaps that will be corrected in a future release.
