<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"><a href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/12/5583/2012/">https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/12/5583/2012/</a> staes values ~0-240 <strong>g/m2 and </strong>many examples are there. They all show clwp in g/m2 which is about 0-300 g/m2 range.</div>
<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"> </div>
<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">So why I am getting very kigh values. Are the units in kg/m2 correct
<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">for the functions 'pw' and prcwater_dp.</div>
<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"> </div>
<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">Looking forward to any kind of help.<br /><br />Thank you</div>
