INTERESTING VARIABLES:
Param.ID Short.Name Units Branch Long.Name
- 164 tcc % sf00 Total Cloud Cover
- 186 lcc % sf00 Low Cloud Cover
- 187 mcc % sf00 Medium Cloud Cover
- 188 hcc % sf00 High Cloud Cover
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
1) The hydrological parameters are in units of "m of water per day"
and so they should be multiplied by 1000 to convert to [kg][m]-2[day]-1
or [mm][day]-1.
2) Energy radiative fluxes should be divided by 86400 seconds (24 hours)
to convert to the commonly used units of [W][m]-2.
3) WE stands for water equivalent
