WRF output data type

[dniloash]

Hello, I have read some post and currently I think the default data variables except precipitation, written into wrfout files are instantaneous (the closest time step solution), but I would like to know if it has been always the same way or how long has this been like this? has the average of the variable during history_interval time ever been used ?.

Most of the variables in wrfout are instantaneous. Some variables like rainc and rainnc are cumulative. This remains unchanged for all versions of WRF.
