Master list for history fields

[tomasz]

Hi forum,
Do you know where one could find a master list of the history fields of CAM and WACCM? I would like to get an up-to-date list of all available output variables.

Thanks,
Tómas.

The CAM master field list is at

CAM History Fields

The only reference I could find to a WACCM master field list was from 2012, so that's probably dated.

@mmills may have a better answer for you.

The available history fields vary depending on the version of the model, and there are numerous versions of WACCM with different chemistry and physics packages. Whenever the model is run, there is a complete list of available history outputs listed in the atm.log file after this line:

******* MASTER FIELD LIST *******

As an example, I have attached the full master field list section that I cut from an atm.log file generated for our first CMIP6 WACCM6 historical run with full TSMLT chemistry (b.e21.BWHIST.f09_g17.CMIP6-historical-WACCM.001).

Of course, these are just for the atmosphere component. If you are looking for history outputs from the surface models, you might try looking at their log files (ocn.log, ice.log, lnd.log, rof.log, cpl.log). If it is not there, we can ask someone else to help you.

Thank you both!
