@lokendrarathore the format_meteo_forcing.py
script actually uses the CHIRPS precipitation dataset where the units are in mm so I didn't originally have to convert it. You will need to change how the script reads in the precipitation variables and provide the conversion factor. Look at lines 120-122 to see how the variables are indexed and converted to the correct units.
Please let me know if this helps clarify things and how else I can help.
I am assuming this is resolved so I am closing this issue. Please reopen if there are additional questions on the format_meteo_forcing
functionality.
Hi @KMarkert I have another query regarding script _format_meteoforcing.py for making forcing files. It needs a NetCDF file which consists of rainfall, tmax, tmin, and wind velocity and in the code, it converts the temperature to celsius from kelvin. But, the precipitation default unit is meter of era data, so it needed to be converted in to mm, as vic takes precipitation in mm. Where did you convert that in the script. Thanks.
