Sören,

   Thank you for clarifying. We all use terms for which we have specific
definitions while others have their own definitions that are different.
That's why I want to be sure we're both using the same definition.

   These data will be part of the input to Itzi models of flat land surface
hydrology. They are the only variable contributing to water depth by time
and place.

Very much appreciated,
