[RegCNET] Variables from STS file

[Mohamad Ibrahim OMAR]

Dear Uzair,
The precipitation in the STS files is the average/day not the cumulative amount. In regarding to the unit of precipitation, Yes you are right multiply the value of precipiation by 60x60x24=86400.
But if you want to get the total summation for the precipitation you should sum all the amount per day using any software (e.g. cdo daysum regcm_input_file.nc regcm_out_file_sum.nc).
hope this may help
Regards

GOOD MORNING

The output that RegCM generates are ATM, SRF, RAD and STS. The STS file generates daily output data while the other files generate 3-hr interval data.

My query is:-

1. Is the daily precipitation data from STS file is cumulative of 3-hr interval data from SRF file ?

2. The output of precipitation,from STS file, obtained from downscaling "GFDL-ESM2M" global data has the unit (mm/s) if we use 
'q file' command in GrADS. So if I want the data in mm/day should I multiply the data with 86400 ?
