Hi Rajesh,

Your formula is correct. Whatever Mizan's suggestion is wrong because its unit is mm/day. Once you averaged it (t=1,t=240), again unit mm/day and multiply by 30 makes it monthly accumulation. The same suggested by Bamba is correct. You may not expect exactly the same amount from simulation compared to observations. You need to do some analysis for getting reasonable amount from model data.

Hello All,
 
      I am plotting the contour for precipitation , in that it is showing 3 hourly data( In SRF file ). Here I am plotting monthly precipitation the command i am using is 
ga-> d ave(tpr,t=1,t=240)*30 (mm) and found the value 542, 479,455,512,513 mm ( year-  2000, 2001,2002, 2003, 2004) but observed data (IMD Delhi, India)  same time and same grid are found 799, 797, 658, 854, 815 mm respectively.
 
again using  Mr. Md. Mizanur Rahman suggestion using command ga-> d ave(tpr,t=1,t=240)*8*30 (mm) and found the values 4340, 3832, 3643, 4099, 4099, 4103 mm respectively.


Please let me know If i am missing something.

hi rajesh
I think your formula is wrong. Because you are multiplying only by 30, it is not correct. It should be multiplied by 24*30, because you are doing average (t=1, t=240), after averging you will get one hour rainfall after that you will multiply 24 to average rainfall then you will get 24 hours rainfall. i, e complete formula for one month will be ave(t=1, t=240)*24*30 then you will get one month rainfall (mm).

Hello All,
 
      I am plotting the contour for precipitation , in that it is showing 3 hourly data( In SRF file ). Here I am plotting monthly precipitation the command i am using is  ga-> d ave(tpr,t=1,t=240)*30 (mm) My question is about the command whether it is right one to get correct value or else .
 
Please let me know If i am missing something.
