Hi guys,

In ERA 5 there are 5 variables referring to the mean temperature tendencies due to parametrisation:

1) Mean temperature tendency due to short-wave radiation

2) Mean temperature tendency due to short-wave radiation, clear-sky

3) Mean temperature tendency due to long-wave radiation

4) Mean temperature tendency due to long-wave radiation, clear-sky

5) Mean temperature tendency due to parametrisations

My question:

1) Does the variable "Mean temperature tendency due to parametrisations" contain the effect of all parametrisations, including radiation, or do I have to calculate (Mean temperature tendency due to parametrisations) + (Mean temperature tendency due to short-wave radiation) + (Mean temperature tendency due to long-wave radiation) to get the overall diabatic heating at one grid point?

2) (Mean temperature tendency due to short-wave radiation) minus (Mean temperature tendency due to short-wave radiation, clear-sky) yields the diabatic heating due to clouds, right?

3) Is there also a variable relating to the adiabatic heating rate?

Many thanks,

Amelie
