[MITgcm-support] balancing the heat equation

I didn't see the variable 'TOTTTEND' in the manual (pages 376-385)  
but could find it in the code.

- Are some available variables missing in the package documentation  
(manual) ?

- Has anyone done a complete Heat equation balance and in that case  
what diagnostics variables
    where you outputting?

Thank you.
