In mp_thompson.meta, graupel is defined as such:
[graupel]
standard_name = lwe_thickness_of_graupel_amount
long_name = graupel fall on physics timestep
units = m
dimensions = (horizontal_loop_extent)
type = real
kind = kind_phys
intent = inout
Does the long name description suggest it's a value over one physics time step? In mp_thompson.F90 we see it's actually the accumulated surface graupel, where delta_graupel_mp is the time step surface graupel amount.
graupel = graupel + max(0.0, delta_graupel_mp/1000.0_kind_phys)
