WRF has multiple precipitation related variables in the output, such as:
RAINC: ACCUMULATED TOTAL CUMULUS PRECIPITATION
RAINSH: ACCUMULATED SHALLOW CUMULUS PRECIPITATION
RAINNC: ACCUMULATED TOTAL GRID SCALE PRECIPITATION
SNOWNC: ACCUMULATED TOTAL GRID SCALE SNOW AND ICE
GRAUPELNC: ACCUMULATED TOTAL GRID SCALE GRAUPEL
HAILNC: ACCUMULATED TOTAL GRID SCALE HAIL
My understanding is that the total precipitation is adding RAINC & RAINSH & RAINNC together. But do I need to also add SNOWNC & GRAUPELNC & HAILNC? My study period is in the winter, so there is ice-phase precipitation.
