Saving TKE when using YSU PBL scheme in WRF

I’m running WRF simulations using the YSU PBL scheme, and I was wondering if there is any way to output TKE (Turbulent Kinetic Energy) when using this scheme.

I understand that in earlier versions of WRF, TKE was not explicitly available or saved when using YSU, as it's a non-local scheme and does not prognose TKE like the MYJ or MYNN schemes. However, I wanted to check if:

  1. WRF internally calculates or estimates TKE at any stage when YSU is used?
  2. Is there any way (via Registry modifications, diagnostics, or additional namelist options) to output or reconstruct TKE even if it's not a prognostic variable in YSU?
