PACS Mexican Daily Precipitation Unified CPC-JOSS dataset

    
     1.0  General Description

          The PACS Daily Precipitation Unified CPC-JOSS Dataset is composed of
     data from both the CPC and JOSS Mexican Precipitation datasets. Data for 
     both the CPC and JOSS datasets were kindly provided by Art Douglas 
     (Creighton Univ.) Data from these sources were NOT quality controlled. 
     This dataset contains data from across Mexico for 1989 thru 1999.

     2.0  Detailed Data Description

          Detailed information is not available for the Unified CPC-JOSS
     Mexican Precipitation data.

     2.1  Detailed Format Description

          The Unified Daily Precipitation Composite contains five metadata 
     parameters and one data parameters. The metadata parameters describe the 
     station location and time at which the data were collected. The data
     parameter occurs once for each day in the monthly record. Each record
     reports the actual number of days in the month, so record lengths vary by
     month. The table below details each parameter.

     Parameters               Units

     2.2  Data Remarks

     given in the data is an abbreviation of the long station names given in 
     the raw data, and was generated by CPC or UCAR/JOSS.
