Accumulations are described in section Mean rates and accumulations. The accumulations in monthly means of daily means (stream=moda/edmo) have been scaled to have units that include "per day", so for accumulations in these streams:

The mean rates/fluxes in Table 4 provide similar information to the accumulations in Table 3, except they are expressed as temporal averages, and so have units of "per second". The mean rate hydrological parameters have units of "kg m^-2 s^-1" and so they can be multiplied by 86400 seconds (24 hours) to convert to kg m^-2 day^-1 or mm day^-1.
