What is the feature/what would you like to discuss?
Radiation is not run every timestep. As a result, diagnostic values are 0 on non-radiation timesteps. Ideally, per @adamrher , these diagnostics would reflect the last timestep radiation was run (since, particularly with high-res runs, the history frequencies often do not align with the radiation frequencies).
In RRTMGP, most diagnostic fields (see: FLNT) are interstitial variables that are handled by the framework. We'd have to move them to the registry to persist across timesteps.
Is there anyone in particular you want to be part of this conversation?
No response
Will this change (regression test) answers?
Yes
Will you be implementing this enhancement yourself?
Any Software Engineer can do this
