CAM4 estimating Solar heating rate

Hello everyone,I am using CAM4, E1850CN compset. Here, the Solar heating rate (QRS) is a default output variable. I think the default QRS is the estimate of solar heating rate due to all the gases and other constituents of the atmosphere.I was wondering if it is possible to estimate the heating rate only due to specific gases, say for H2O or CO2,  and output that as a variable.I think in the model following gases are considered (taken from the namelist)rad_climate = 'P_Q:H2O', 'D_O2:O2', 'D_CO2:CO2', 'D_ozone:O3', 'D_N2O:N2O', 'D_CH4:CH4', 'D_CFC11:CFC11',
'D_CFC12:CFC12' ThanksAngshuman

Diagnostic radiation calculations are not supported in the cam4 radiation package (cam_rt).  The recommended method is to use the offline tool, PORT.see http://www.geosci-model-dev.net/6/469/2013/gmd-6-469-2013.pdf
