[Wrf-users] RAINC, RAINNC, or RAINC+RAINNC?

[Gisele dos Santos Zepka]

Dear all,

In order to identify the best combination of cumulus+microphysics 
parameterizations that provides the precipitation associated with a MCS, 
I run several WRF simulations testing different schemes combinations. I 
have the observed rainfall data and I intend to compare them with the 
model rainfall outputs. As I am working with high space resolution (2 
km), in some simulations I also turned off the convection scheme. My 
question is what precipitation variable from WRF should I use to make 
this analysis: RAINC, RAINNC, or RAINC+RAINNC?

Any help will be great.
