era52arl.cfg conversion for ssrd and slhf not written correctly
amcz opened this issue · 2 comments
ssrd and slhf should both have conversion factors (sfccnv) of -0.00028.
ssrd is being written as +0.00028 and slhf not being written at all.
Fixed
In Possible issues you mentioned that :
''heat fluxes (LTHF, SHTF)
HYSPLIT convention is that upward heat flux is positive. ERA5 uses the opposite convention.
Make sure that a conversion factor is negative in the era52arl.cfg file.''
which refer respectively to ''slhf'' and ''sshf'' in ERA5 but this closed issue mentions an additional one which is ''ssrd'' or DSWF according to the era52arl.cfg file and all these variables have a conversion factor of +0.00028.
So the question is : should we just change the sign of the heat flux variables (slhf and sshf only) or should we consider make it for ssrd (surface_solar_radiation_downwards) also ?
Thanks in advance.
