You want the reference gamma shape somewhere special? In a separate file, in the gamma files?

I was surprised to see no regions where it failed due to zero precip etc. Can you output the gamma shape calculated for the reference pool (1951-2000) i.e. the bottom of the fraction in step 43? One field per month of the year would be useful. Cheers P.S. also try to name files following the same structure as the other variables, so pr_gamma.patterns1.dat not pr.gamma.dat Tim At 16:59 10/07/2008, you wrote: Hi Tim, HadCM3 precip gamma file now awaiting shredding/awards as appropriate.
