This PR adjust the default settings for iHAMOCC output in namelist_definition_blom.xml, mainly

  • add daily frequency for some of the newly added outputs
  • remove outputs on layers almost completely (with some exceptions for N-cycle related fields)
  • add monthly outputs for diffusive fluxes between sediment and water column

Are the units correct here (i.e. shouldn't it be: m-2)?

@JorgSchwinger - thanks for checking the output list!

I am not sure, if this is used at all for the extended nitrogen cycle - I don't think so.

Ok, yes the field is all 0 in the output. Would it be possible to add this diagnostic? It is used to provide the output frn=minus_tendency_of_ocean_mole_content_of_elemental_nitrogen_due_to_denitrification_and_sedimentation

(Otherwise I will just remove frn)

Hi Jörg, I don't know, how to read the data request here. Is by definition denitrification incorporating both, denitrifcation and anammox losses of N to N2 (i.e. more the traditional way)? - or are these separate things in the CMIP output? And what is meant as loss by sedimentation? - is it just particulate N-flux to the sediment or is it the net-flux (i.e. particulate sedimentation - diffusive inorganix reflux)? - technically, all the stuff can be delivered by correct post-processing of output data (if written out).

I don't know how to read the request either, I would interpret it in a way that makes sense for our model. dnitint would provide a compact way of storing this in a 2d field. You can have a look in the data request table. If there is a possibility to calculate frn please add, otherwise I'll remove it.

Ok, I see. I am a bit time constrained these days. I try to look into it asap. Is there a time that it needs to be finished (if not already better by yesterday)?

For now I switched off dnitint.
