Table 9.

Fields written to CLM5 history files describe the evolution of plant growth. Bold indicates requested fields. The others are written by default. Instantaneous fields are stored in filetype “h0”. Time averaged fields are stored in filetype “h1”.

Variable name Description
Instantaneous values
EFLX_LH_TOT Total latent heat flux [+ to atm]
ER Total ecosystem respiration, autotrophic + heterotrophic
HR Total heterotrophic respiration
TSA 2 m air temperature
ZSOI Soil depth
DZSOI Soil thickness
WATSAT Saturated soil water content (porosity)
SUCSAT Saturated soil matric potential
BSW Slope of soil water retention curve
HKSAT Saturated hydraulic conductivity
ZLAKE Lake layer node depth
DZLAKE Lake layer thickness
