[gradsusr] Correct unit of vertically integrated moisture flux divergence

I am calculating the vertically integrated moisture flux divergence in
GrADS using the following commands:

>* sdfopen shum.nc <http://shum.nc>
*>* sdfopen uwnd.nc <http://uwnd.nc>
*>* sdfopen vwnd.nc <http://vwnd.nc>
*>>* p1000 = const(shum.1,1000,-a)
*>* define qu=vint(p1000,shum.1*uwnd.2,100)
*>* define qv=vint(p1000,shum.1*vwnd.3,100)
*>* d hdivg(qu,qv)*


shum: *kg/kg*
uwnd and vwnd: *m/s*


Is the unit kg/m2s? or mm/day? after the divergence?

Sincerely,

*Lyndz*
