Questions about output results in grid level?

Hi,

I have a question about the output for CLM5. This is part of the namelist below:

hist_fincl1 = 'SABV', 'SABG'
hist_fincl2 = 'SABV', 'SABG'
hist_fincl3 = 'SABV', 'SABG'
hist_fincl4 = 'SABV', 'SABG'
hist_dov2xy = .true., .true., .false., .false.
hist_type1d_pertape = ' ', ' ', 'PFTS', 'COLS'
hist_nhtfrq = 0, -24, -24, -24

In my case, there are four patches in a grid cell. In the first simulation, I assigned 'PCT_CFT' to "10, 20, 30, 40"; in the second simulation, I assigned 'PCT_CFT' to "20, 40, 30, 10". I want to look at the effect of different patch ratios on solar rad absorbed by veg (SABV) and solar rad absorbed by ground (SABG). Thus, I would output grid scale results (hist_fincl1 and hist_fincl2).

However, I noticed the same results between the two simulations. Totally weird! I was expecting that there would be different results due to different patch ratios. Could you give me some guidance on that?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

M.

If the model isn't behaving as I would expect, maybe I would first confirm beyond doubt that my changes are implemented correctly. Second I would probably go into the code and add simple write statements so that I may look at the values of variables that I was expecting to change.

Thank you! Will check it.
