Calculating SMB from WINDEROSIONDEPOSITION field #13

Closed EricKeenan closed 3 years ago

EricKeenan commented 3 years ago

Delta SWE is identical to (MS_HNW - MS_WIND - ET - MS_SNOWPACK_RUNOFF). But is not equal to (pr - WINDEROSIONDEPOSITION - ET - MS_SNOWPACK_RUNOFF)

Based off my understanding of the variables I would expect both expressions to be equal to detla SWE. Do you agree? If so, could the discrepancy be due to a programing error? My impression is that numerical errors arising from explicit snow drift should be encapsulated in delta swe and WINDEROSIONDEPOSITION, and therefore should not explain the difference.
