Hi all,
 I just test the case of global_ocean.90x40x15 and noticed that there is 'UVEL    ' 'VVEL    ' 'WVEL    ' 'Salt   ' in the data.Diagnostics included in a filename 'dynDiag', but when I compared the UVEL of the 'dynDiag' file with the U output file at the same iteration, they are not equal. I don't know what's the difference. 
 Any suggestion is much appreciated.
 
the data.diagnostics file as follows
&diagnostics_list
# diag_mnc     = .FALSE.,
# frequency(1) = 311040000.,
  frequency(1) = 864000.,
   filename(1) = 'surfDiag',
   fields(1,1) = 'ETAN    ','ETANSQ  ','DETADT2 ',
                 'PHIBOT  ','PHIBOTSQ',
#                'DSLPuFlw','DSLPvFlw',
# frequency(2) = 311040000.,
  frequency(2) = 864000.,
   filename(2) = 'dynDiag',
# do not specify levels => all levels are selected
   fields(1,2) = 'UVELMASS','VVELMASS','WVEL    ',
#                'UVEL    ','VVEL    ','PHIHYD  ',
                 'THETA   ','SALT    ','WVELSQ  ',
