does the model output at GMT?

[anushree]

Hi all,
I have to plot diurnal patterns of some meteorological fields over India (GMT+5:30) .i was wondering if the model output is at GMT,does that mean i need to plot everything at +5:30 or does the model take care of time zones while giving output over different regions?
Regards,

The timestamp of all subdaily output is in GMT.

Thanks you Gary,for replying!
So,can the namelist variable avgflag_pertape = 'L'( for local time history averaging) help me any way? I am unable to understand the meaning of local time history averaging here?Can someone help me out with the meaning with an example?

One of the CAM experts will have to weigh in.

@nusbaume can you comment on the question about outputting CAM history fields in local time with the "L" option?
