25.2 Rainfall units¶
The catalogue currently labels total_precipitation_6hr as mm/day, while the field describes a six-hour accumulation. Do not interpret that label as a confirmed daily total or multiply it by six. Inspect response units and time intervals and confirm the convention with GAP before aggregating.
