Global Attributes:	history: Fri Mar 11 09:38:23 EST 2011: created by JS using convert2alma.sh title: Princeton University Hydroclimatology Group Bias Corrected 59-yr (1948-2006) Meteorological Forcing Dataset institution: Princeton University contact: Justin Sheffield (justin@princeton.edu) source: Forcings are a hybrid of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and observations comment: This is an update to the original version reported in Sheffield et al., J. Climate (2006). Updates include: i) extension to 2006; ii) improved sampling procedure for correction of rain day statistics; iii) use of latest versions of CRU, SRB and TRMM products; iv) improved consistency between specific and relative humidity and air temperature. See Sheffield et al., J. Climate (2006) for details of the observations used and the bias correction and downscaling methodology. Unlimited_Dimension: time
