inconsistent units in radolan showcase

[kmuehlbauer]

Some units in the radolan showcase (and possibly other notebooks) are inconsistent. RY for instance is in "mm/5min" "not mm/h".

[heistermann]

I think the unit for RY is just mm. I am quite certain it is not mm/h. Using mm/5min is rather to calrify the accumulation interval.

[kmuehlbauer]

Sure, so what is needed to get it all consistent?

[heistermann]

Grr, just trying to find the product overview in the web.

[heistermann]

No, I mean from DWD.

[heistermann]

No, there used to be a pdf that also specified the units for all products in a table.

[heistermann]

Exactly, thank you!

[heistermann]

Yes, but from 2009...

[heistermann]

Anyway, I guess this is the basis to specify the units.

[kmuehlbauer]

So, it is mm/5min for RY.

[heistermann]

Yes.

[heistermann]

Ha, and now I get your actual point.

[heistermann]

I thought you wanted to channge from mm/5min to mm/h.

[heistermann]

But it is the other way around.

[kmuehlbauer]

Yes, this was somehow misleading

[heistermann]

Maybe we should introduce the unit in the overview table unter section National Composites.
