[RegCNET] precipitation's unit

[sh zhou]

Hi,

I want to display the precipitation for one day, but I found the unit for
"tpr" is "mm/day", and there are 8 times output  everyday ( the interval is
3h), so, why some variables like "tpr, evp runoff" unit set with "mm/day"
which also has values for each time in output?  how to use it? Thank you.
this is my data description :
