Mismatch between pft and grid level output

[jiamengl]

Hello, I run a simulation and output two types of files, with h0 being grid level and h1 being pft-level, by adding the following command in use_nl_clm

hist_fincl2='GPP','C13_GPP','FPSN','LIVESTEMC','C13_LIVESTEMC','RAIN_FROM_ATM','LEAFC','C13_LEAFC','GMSUN','GMSHA','GS','GM','FPSN','PCO2','PBOT','TOTVEGC','C13_TOTVEGC'
hist_dov2xy=.true.,.false.
hist_type1d_pertape =' ', 'PFTS'
hist_nhtfrq = -1,-1
hist_mfilt = 120,120

However, when I checked the output, I found the values of h0 and h1 files are not inconsistent for the variable 'RAIN_FROM_ATM'. Those two files are too large to upload. I found that the values in h0 file is smaller than 0.0003, but that in h1 file can be as large as 30. Seems like for other variables the magnitude of values in those two types of files are consistent.

Can anyone please help me with this?

RAIN_FROM_ATM is a gridcell level variable (forc_rain_not_downscaled_grc) and so you won't get valid output if you request it at a sub-grid level (e.g., pft).
