Hi-
> This a question for IDV Staff:
> Why for direct evaporation from soil or potential evporation from soil,
> the display units say in W/m2 units, if the real units is for example:
> mm/m2xhr?
According to the WMO docs on the parameters, W/m2 is the correct unit:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/grib2/grib2_table4-2-0-1.shtml
(parameter 200). In this case, they are looking at evaporation in terms of
energy per unit area. Here's a web reference I found:
http://www.fao.org/docrep/x0490E/x0490e04.htm#units
that helps explain this. I think that W/m2 is equivalent to mm/s since
precipitation and evaporation are generally in terms of kg/m2 (roughly
1 mm of water) and the s-1 would give you the rate.
