Writing extra turbulence output variables into history file

[smrhashemi]

Hello all

I am interested in turbulence properties of my model. I can see the following parameters in my history file by choosing
Hout(idMtke) == T ! Write out turbulent kinetic energy.
Hout(idMtls) == T ! Write out turbulent kinetic energy times length scale.

However, when I tried to output other parameters which I found in the varinfo.dat such as
'vertical mixing turbulent length scale'

by switching
Hout(idVmLS) == T
in ocean.in, it did not write it to history file.

As a general question, are all output variables listed in varinfo.dat file? Any suggestion to get more turbulent outputs from model such as those mentioned in
the following research?

if you look in ROMS/Utility/def_his.F, the idVMLS is for
define FORWARD_WRITE which has to deal with the 4dvar stuff.
The tke and gls vars whould be most of what you need. Remeber the gls var is different depending on what you set for the gls_p, m and n input coefficients.
