Precipitation anomaly 2020 (1991-2020)

This variable is the accumulated liquid and frozen water, including rain and snow, that falls to the Earth's surface. It is the sum of large-scale precipitation (that precipitation which is generated by large-scale weather patterns, such as troughs and cold fronts) and convective precipitation (generated by convection which occurs when air at lower levels in the atmosphere is warmer and less dense than the air above, so it rises). Precipitation variables do not include fog, dew or the precipitation that evaporates in the atmosphere before it lands at the surface of the Earth. Monthly mean precipitation data is in units of “m”, effectively accumulated over a day, thereby giving “m day-1”. For consistency with the ECMWF parameter database, the units in the GRIB files are “m”.
