Greetings! The models do calculate fields of QPF, though that's really just a generic term, so you won't see any fields labelled that. What you're looking for are fields like: Convective_precipitation_surface_Mixed_intervals_Accumulation Total_precipitation_surface_Mixed_intervals_Accumulation and I'm sure I've missed others. Hope this helps! Ryan > Awesome thank you so much! I’ve been reading a lot through metpy and the > thredds server. I’m not finding any documentation on model output of QPF. If > I’m not mistaken does the GFS actually output QPF or is that calculated later > on? I’m not exactly sure. I appreciate the help.
