precipitation in m?

"precipitationVolume": {
"type": "number",
"example": 56,
"description": "Amount of precipitation (mm)"
}

Wouldn't it be more consistent to be in m as everything else in SignalK is in meters?

The SI unit for rainfall is the millimeter (mm), so this would align with the Signal K use of SI units.

I don't see that in the docs.

I assume you mean the Signal K spec.... There are some missing paths / units SignalK/specification#662 seeks to address the ones related to the meteo context.

[motamman]

I understand that SI is mm. I only ask because that would mean SK would then have two base units within the same unit dimension or unit family. (I am not sure what the correct term is.)

I saw this in the openApi.json

          "precipitationVolume": {
            "type": "number",
            "example": 56,
            "description": "Amount of precipitation (mm)"
          }
