Kim, Jinwon commented on CLIMATE-47:
------------------------------------
The current version does not need "precipFlag". This flag has been used to
specify unit conversion with the CRU3.0 precipitation data which (kg/m2/s) is
different from other datasets (mm/day); this step in the current version is
done via metadata information and is transparent to users. Thus, I suggest
dropping "precipFlag" in the current version.
We may reinstate "variableFlag" to point specific variables (e.g., temperature,
cloudiness, shortwave radiation, etc.). For example, I use "precipFlag" in my
hydro prototype because bias correction of precipitation is done differently
from temperature. This can be included in a future version with clearer view on
future expansion for supporting specific users.

> precipFlag attribute within the Model class needs to be refactored

> Key: CLIMATE-47
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE-47
> Project: Apache Open Climate Workbench
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: rcmet
> Affects Versions: 0.1-incubating
> Reporter: Cameron Goodale
> Assignee: Cameron Goodale
> Fix For: 0.1-incubating
>
>
> There is a precipFlag attribute within the Model class. This has been used
> for computation and unit conversions.
> As the code is changing we need to handle this attribute better. We can
> either get rid of it entirely, or decide on better rules for handling this
> information.
> If anyone else has experience working with precip data and has suggestions
> for way to handle this let us know.
