[RegCNET] Re: Timing of RegCM SRF output

[Pal Jeremy]

Hi Bill,

Your answer depends on the variable of interest.  For example, runoff 
and precipitation are average rates over the period and winds, 
temperatures, fluxes, and radiation are instantaneous.

Is there any variable in particular that you are interested in?
