| Provenance | Precipitation is an essential climate variable (ECV) computed by the HARMONIE meteorological model.Details about computations for different domains and time periods are given here. | ||||||
| Calculation caveats | Spatial representation: S1 Could be compared to: C1 Could be used with: U1, U2 |
||||||
| Motivation | Precipitation is a base indicator for many applications including infrastructure planning. | ||||||
| Experience user | These variables are of use for many additional applications. | ||||||
