Hello all,

Is there any way we can output the atmospheric heating rate [temperature tendency term (dT/dt)] and adiabatic heating rate in the wrf output?

Thank you so much in advance.
 
Hi,
The diabatic heating terms include the following:

"h_diabatic": this is from microphsics scheme

"RTHCUTEN": this is from cumulus scheme

"RTHSHTEN": this is from shallow convection

"RTHRATEN": this is from radaition

"RTHBLTEN": this is from boundary layer

The sum of the above terms is the total diabatic heating.

Just in case you may need it, RTHFTEN is the total advective temperature tendency, including both horizontal and vertical advection terms.
