Site Files

-----

Data in the units specified in the file = value in file/scaling factor, i.e. with a scaling factor of 10 the file value 452 is really 45.2

All files are approximately 369 kbytes, except the README which is 12 kbytes, and SITE_FORMAT which is 4.7 kbytes.

o README.TXT

o FORMAT.TXT Contains information on the site file format and how to find the data for a given location.

o Monthly File

These files contain monthly mean values of climate data for each non-background data point.
