CRU TS 2.02 April 2003 modified 23rd Jan 2004 Dr. T. D. Mitchell, Tyndall Centre The data are provided in two alternative sets of files: 1. 100-year files (*1901-2000*), one per variable: see data_all directory. 2. 10-year files, ten per variable: see data_dec directory. The station counts are also provided in two alternative sets of files: 1. 100-year files (*1901-2000*), one per variable: see stn_all directory. 2. 10-year files, ten per variable: see stn_dec directory. NOTE: These station counts are of all stations with a valid absolute datum within range of the grid-box. Stations without a normal for 1961-90 or that overlap another station may have data discarded before gridding. A better version of this information (i.e. only stations that contribute to the final grids) will be provided for the next version of the data-set. [20th Jan 2004] A set of additional files is in the relax directory. This contains a best-estimate of the climatological value used to in-fill periods for which a true estimate could not be made.
