What is the correct precipitation unit for MESH? Is it in $\frac{mm}{s}$ or $\frac{m}{s}$?

mee067 commented 2 months ago

it is a mass flux unit: kg/m2/s - given that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3, this translates to mm/s if we consider an intensity (depth/time). This means the first table has a mistake.
