radiation calculations frequency: iradsw, iradlw

Hello all,The default radiation calculations in CAM5 are done once per hour. The frequency can be changed by setting iradsw and iradlw in the namelist. Can the iradsw and iradlw be set at different values? Such as iradsw=3, iradlw=1? I have tried to set them as different numbers, but CAM5 crashed. I don't know why. Hope someone can help.Thank you.Jocelyn

I think iradsw and iradlw should be set to the same values because you need SW and LW at the same time to calculate the radiative heating.
