Dear WRF support
I am working with 3D simulations of near-surface wind jets using WRF 3.9. I am using the MYNN PBL scheme and I would like to output the different contributions of the TKE budget. I activate the flag "bl_mynn_tkebudget" and i have thus the following variables in my outputs:
DTKE
QWT
QDISS
QSHEAR
QBUOY


In particular I am interested in the advection term in the TKE equation. That is why I activate "bl_mynn_tkeadvect" (see my physics namelist herebelow).

As far as I understand in the code, the "DTKE" includes the temporal tendency and the advection term (lagrangian derivative*timestep). Is there a relatively easy way to separately include in the output files the temporal and the spatial (advective) tendencies?

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Best regards,

Étienne

DTKE is the temporal tendency of TKE, which includes the four items in TKE budget equation (QWT,QDISS, QSHEAR, QBUOY).
There is one variable in Registry, QKE_ADV, which is defined as part of the scalar 4d array to advect it. However, there is no state variable to represent the advection term of TKE.
