<br><font size=3>List,</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=3>I dumped the contents of an eta 48hr grib file using
grib2ctl to a control file so I could use GrADS to plot surface pressure
and precip. However I couldn't help but notice that the units for
Surface Convective Precip were in kg/m^2. Pardon my ignorance, as
I've never actually plotted precip contours before, but how does this convert
into inches or even centimetes? The values produced seemed suspiciously
high, similar to something you might see in a convective feedback situation,
and I was wondering if there is some sort of conversion factor I'm not
aware of, or if I should literally expect 4" liquid equivalent in
a 3 hr period? </font>
