Questions about diffusion variables

Q1: Variables about horizontal diffusion (i.e. 'HDIFE_TEMP' and 'HDIFN_TEMP') are not saved in my experiment results. So I want to find alternatives. Then I found these 4 variables in outputs (ISOP_ADV_TEND_TEMP, Redi_TEND_TEMP, RF_TEND_TEMP, SUBM_ADV_TEND_TEMP). Is the sum of these 4 variables same with horizontal diffusion estimated from 'HDIFE_TEMP and 'HDIFN_TEMP'?

Q2: About vertical diffusion, I think the vertical diffusion is estimated by 'DIA_IMPVF_TEMP' and 'KPP_SRC_TMP'. But I found 'HDIFB_TEMP' is also the variable about vertical diffusion. So how to calculate precise vertical diffusion in heat budget? Should I include 'HDIFB_TEMP' when calculating vertical diffusion?

Any suggestions are welcome! (BTW, the version of CESM is 2.1.3, the resolution is f19_g17, compset is B1850)
