Does this change answers?

But isn't TOP on by default? Its used in v3.

No it is on in the master branch. Our policy is that the v3.0 tag should make v3.0 answers without relying on a runscript. See https://github.com/E3SM-Project/E3SM/pull/6108.

discussion: this makes sure TOP works for grids not used in WCYCLE v3.

@bishtgautam can this be merged?

I think t=0 is not included in an average (in EAM). So if its output at all, its instant and in its own file. If you want an average every...

You should use add the "cell_methods" attribute to the variables. Then "cell_methods = "time: point" indicates instantaneous values. "cell_methods = "time: mean" for averages.

"maximum" and "minimum" it looks like but yes. https://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.7/build/ape.html
