Hi all,
I'm trying to get the hourly snowfall (in terms of equivalent water, mm) from WRF model. However, I'm confused about SNOWNC and ACSNOW.
I found the following information in the Registry.EM_COMMON
SNOWNC - "ACCUMULATED TOTAL GRID SCALE SNOW AND ICE" "mm"
ACSNOW - "ACCUMULATED SNOW" "kg m-2"
My question is:
1. SNOWNC only represents grid-scale snow and ice. I think it can't be used as it doesn't include snow from the unresolved scale. Is this Right?
2. Does ACSNOW represent accumulated snowfall? Does it melt during the simulation process?
Thank you very much!
