[EnergyPlus_Support] Liquid precipitation depth

[vincent lacour <vlacour@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning,
I got the following error message in energyplus:
** Warning ** Missing Data Found on Weather Data File
   ************* Missing "Liquid Precipitation Depth", Number of items= 8760

I copied to my idf file one of the schedule:compact object from the
PrecipitationSchedulesUSA.idf file and added a site:precipitation
object referring to this schedule.
The resulting *.err file did not show any error concerning these new
objects but the same message on missing liquid precipitation depth
shows.

My questions:
1/ What is the difference between "Site:Precipitation" and "Liquid
Precipitation Depth"?
2/ If the site:precipitation object does not replace missing data in
the weather file, what is the use of this object?
3/ Does energyplus use "Liquid Precipitation Depth" anyway?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Vincent
