Description:
The PR adds a mass accumulation table (full column only) as a 1-month benchmark option. The mass accumulation table compares the difference in mass change for each species across two different runs, ref and dev. The mass change per species is computed as the difference between start and end based on values in the restart files (end restart mass minus start restart mass). Concentrations are converted to mass in the same way as done for the benchmark mass tables.
Here is an example of what the accumulation table looks like.
This table can be used with the operations budget table to look at changes in mass across a run, and to validate the operations budget diagnostics. Its values correspond to the ACCUMULATION entries in the operations budget table and is an alternative (and cheaper) way to get those values.
The table is currently only produced for full column and is limited to the 1-month benchmark. It can be expanded in a future PR if there is demand.
Expected differences:
None. This table is off by default in the 1-month benchmark yaml configuration file.
