Regarding the evaporation metric, we've been using the "flux_lhe" output, but wanted to clarify if that's the intended output for calculating the E for a P - E metric? Also,...

Thank you all for the suggestions. We'll look into the E-P budgets and the tendencies to see what we find. I'll get back to you with any new info.

I have looked into the E-P budget, and it looks like there is a consistent imbalance in favor of E up until the very end of the 25-year run. I...

Complicating things, I have found different values for water loss from the buckets based on the bucket_depth output itself and the tendencies. Using the base bucket_depth output, and calculating the...

The bucket depth tendencies also seem to show a different amount of loss when adjusted to be kg/day and summed over time. The bucket_depth_lh tendency shows a much larger loss...

Based on these figures, it appears that the E-P budget does not fully explain the loss seen in the bucket depth output (too small), but neither do the bucket depth...

Regarding point 1 of your suggestions, the vast majority of our water starts at the surface, and we do expect a spin-up period where it evaporates out. Below is a...

Regarding point 2, the do_water_correction option is set to true, while the water_correction_limit is set to 200 hPa. I can try setting water_correction_limit to 0, but might try some other...

The fact that it is inconsistent with the bucket loss figure is likely part of the problem. The various figures I've made don't really match up with each other with...

I attempted to do a run as you described without any moist processes, but have been having trouble with errors. I'm not sure if there is a setting I need...
