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.
