Wrong sign of hfls in TROPFLUX?

[axel-lauer]

The sign of variable hfls (Surface Upward Latent Heat Flux) seems to be disagreeing with the ones in other datasets (e.g. MERRA2, CMIP6). I would expect that the field average of hfls should be positive, which it is not. This might need to be double-checked.

Also, why is hfls available in to two different output files (Amon and Lmon)? To my knowledge, hfls is not included in the CMIP6 CMOR tables for Lmon.

Thank @axel-lauer, I will look into this. I think we were making it available for any of the MIPs and would have found it in an Lmon table. Maybe its outdated and I'll remove.
