Percolation rate | kgm-2s-1 | The newly proposed percolation is the downward movement of water under hydrostatic pressure in the saturated zone.This water might still end up in rivers and lakes as discharge but it is a slower process than water runoff or drainage. Such defined percolation is an input for hydrological models together with e.g. water runoff. This parameter is proposed as a rate rather than the accumulated one following WMO approach in such cases. The accumulated value can be still encoded using it with accumulation specified in PDT. |
Question: Do we need to ask also for another already accumulated parameter "Percolation" [kgm-2] as some model are producing it and they would have to convert it into the rate?
