Hi,

I see most adjoint studies analyze sensitivity to the net heat flux,  
but none analyzed its components (Qnet = SW + LW + LH + SH).

The adjoint diagnostics to the turbulent components of Qnet seem to be  
not available  
(https://mitgcm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/outp_pkgs/outp_pkgs.html#adjoint-variables), just wondering if the adjoint model can give sensitivity to Sensible & Latent Heat flux so that each component can be  
quantified?


many thanks,
Dong
