WACCM ADF Goals (based on these comparisons https://github.com/NCAR/wawg_dev/issues/2):

  1. QBO
  2. Zonal Mean U winds and Transform Eulerian Mean (TEM) of winds
  3. Water Vapor (tape recorder) and temperature time series at 100 hPa in the tropics (compare with MLS)
  4. Temperature: NH PolarPolar 
  5. Temperature: SH Polar
  6. Temperature: Dec Zonal Mean (against MERRA and SABER)
  7. Temperature: June Zonal Mean (against MERRA and SABER)
  8. Ozone diagnostics for lower stratosphere (ozone hole)
