Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type 15-6 weather data reader

Chun Kwong,
  Precipitable water is a measure of the amount of water contained in a 
vertical column above the surface if it were all precipitated out. The 
idea of it is to provide an idea of muchh rain or snow might fall as a 
result of a thunderstorm or low pressure system.
Best,
 David
