See section on Mass and mass-fluxes in the TMPP manual for how computed from raw data.

Details:

• Surface pressures (Pa) are valid for hours 21, 03, 09, 15, and 21.
• Mass fluxes (kg/s) are constant in intervals [21,03], [03,09], [09,15], and [15,21] .
• Grid cells are optionally combined by area-average (surface pressures) or summation (mass fluxes).
• Layers are combined by summation (mass fluxes).
