  1.0
  2.0: This dataset has a temperature dependent dry bias correction and updated
filenames.
  1.3: This dataset has been corrected for a dry bias and the filenames have
been changed and moved to another directory.
  3.0: This version was corrected for a temperature dependent relative humidity
dry bias as well al a dewpoint bias. This is the latest and most current
version of the dataset.
