Output variable of evaporation and precipitation in CAM6

[Go-Un Kim]

Hi,

I want to plot "precipitation - evaporation" using the simulated CAM6 data.

So, I will change user_nl_cam.

However, I couldn't find the evaporation variable.

Through the "CAM history field (https://www2.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm2/atmosphere/docs/ug6/hist_flds_f2000.html)",
precipitation is PRECC + PRECL or PRECT
evaporation is EVAPPREC or latent leat flux?
Is it right?

Hi,

Here are a couple of other responses on the forum that may help you:

precipitation in CAM

There are many variables regarding precipitation: PRECL, PRECC, PRECT, PRECCav, PRECLav 1. What is the difference between PRECL and PRECCav? If my output interval is 6 hours, is PRECCav the averaged PRECC within the 6 hour interval? and could I say if I output "PRECC:A", it is same as...

How to simluate the amount of liquid water in the cloud that evaporates to water vapor?

Hi, When I use the iCESM1.2, I want to know is it possible to get reevaporation data? (The amount of liquid water in the cloud evaporating or ice sublimating into gaseous water) . Can I simulate it? And, if I want to simulate water vapor markers in future scenarios and use F-CASE, what do I...
