WMO OSCAR | Details for Variable: Precipitation intensity at surface (solid)

Variable: Precipitation intensity at surface (solid)

Definition

Full name	Precipitation intensity at surface (solid)
Definition	Intensity of solid precipitation reaching the ground - Physical unit: [ mm/h ] (mm of liquid water after melting)
Measuring Units	mm/h	Uncertainty Units	mm/h
Horizontal Res Units	km	Vertical Res Units
Stability Units	mm/h (Stability /decade)

Comment:	Needed as a complement to "Precipitation intensity (liquid or solid)" in order to distinguish liquid and solid precipitation.
