stratiform_liquid_precipitation_flux kg m-2 s-1 Stratiform precipitation is precipitation that formed in stratiform cloud. "Precipitation" in the earth's atmosphere means precipitation of water in all phases, but liquid precipitation refers to non-frozen water. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.

stratiform_liquid_precipitation_flux kg m-2 s-1 [KSP2] Stratiform precipitation, whether liquid or frozen, is precipitation that formed in stratiform cloud. "Liquid_precipitation" includes both "rain" and "drizzle". "Rain" means drops of water falling through the atmosphere that have a diameter greater than 0.5 mm. "Drizzle" means drops of water falling through the atmosphere that have a diameter typically in the range 0.2-0.5 mm. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
