33 # Twentieth Century Global Reanalysis Version 2, 2 deg (Grid 255), 24 p-levels (1000 - 10 hPa) plus sfc
36 # http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds131.1/
37 # http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/20thC_Rean/
39 # Need to download 2 files, a 3d pressure file and a suface flux file. Note that as for most
40 # reanalysis data sets the soil variables are 6-hour forecasts.
42 # The Vtable has been tested on the NCAR TCRP files. Modifications may be required for other sources
44 # Note that soil temps are miscoded as '11' instead of '85'
