[gradsusr] Units for Precipitation?

[Gerardo De Jesus Montoya Gaviria]

Dear Howard. The expression,  [kg/ m^2] = mm, didn´t has physical meaning
in the sense of MKS or CGS system units. This expression, in meteorology
simple means that, a height of 1mm is equivalent to a 1kg (a liter of
water) spilled over an area of 1 m2. May be, this help.
