cc: Ian Harris date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 18:16:47 +0100 from: Ian Harris subject: CRU TS 2.10 VAP & WET to: Phil Jones Phil, Preliminary investigations are indicating that the published 2.10 dataset has transposed the Vapour Pressure and Wet Day parameters. Examples so far are from January and February 1981. Month Param Min Max Jan 81 VAP 0 310 Jan 81 WET 0 3220 Feb 81 VAP 0 280 Feb 81 WET 0 3240 I think the 310 and 280 values clinch it? This applies to both the original GRIM format files and to the ones I reformatted as grids (that program did one var at a time so could not have swapped them, I've checked anyway).
