Hi CGD BB,
I’ve created a stock GIAF_JRA case using the cesm2_1_1 release on GLADE. When the user_datm.streams.txt* files get created, all of them have offsets of 0, except for SWDN.

Moving to the case directory,
> cd /glade/work/johnsonb/cases/GIAF_JRA.f09_g17.003
> ./case.setup
> ./preview_namelists
> vim user_datm.streams.txt.CORE_IAF_JRA.GCGCS.PREC
> vim user_datm.streams.txt.CORE_IAF_JRA.GISS.LWDN
> vim user_datm.streams.txt.CORE_IAF_JRA.GISS.SWDN
PREC and LWDN have offsets of 0 while SWDN has an offset of -5400.
Checking the headers of the netCDF files in the stream shows that PREC, LWDN, and SWDN have time values of 1.5 4.5 7.5 ... and time_bnds of [0,3] [3, 6] [6, 9] ...
The other fields Q_10, SLP_, T_10, U_10, V_10 all have offsets of 0 as well, although they do not have time_bnds and their time values are set to 0 3 6 ...
Is there a specific reason that SWDN has an offset and the other fields with time_bnds do not?
The SWDN offset is set in this file in the strm_offset entry:
/glade/p/cesm/releases/cesm2_1/cime/src/components/data_comps/datm/cime_config/namelist_definition_datm.xml
I'm unable to find an explanation of the offset either in that file, in the JRA-55 specifications, or in the RDA handbook.
Thank you,
