Notes: (1) The listed units for this parameter appear not to be appropriate for evapotranspiration. Instead, it is recommended to use parameter 39 with statistical process 1 (accumulation) in order to report evapotranspiration in units of Kg m-2. (2)For parameter 38 (category 0), ice volume is expressed as if the ice contenet were melted to liquid water and then its volume measured in the liquid state. This may be understood in the same manner as water equivalent snow depth. =============================================== * Parameter deprecated - See Regulation 92.6.2 and use another parameter instead. ** It is not recommended to use this parameter, but to use another one with a more descriptive unit. *** Parameter deprecated. Use another parameter in parameter category 3: Soil products instead. **** Statistical process 1 (Accumulation) does not change units. |
