ERA5_Land Precipitation #3

Closed danpower101 closed 3 years ago

danpower101 commented 4 years ago

Precipitation in ERA5_Land accumulates over a 24 hour period. Although there are hourly readings they do not represent precipitation in that particular hour, but a sum of the hours previous (up until 00:00).

This needs to be fixed so that each hour represents the rainfall in that hour in mm.

Corrected in recent update. ERA5_Land precipitation data is now recorded for the hour and not accumulated over 24 hours.
