Monthly Climate Change Scenarios, Version 2. Available on-line [http://www.daac.ornl.gov /] from Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, U.S.A.
Reason: The data originators at NCAR prepared a new version of the data in full-grid format (i.e., all grids will be represented in the data set file).
Revision Summary: The VEMAP 2 monthly climate change scenario data set was originally provided in partial-grid format (i.e., only those grids containing data are in the data set file). The VEMAP team subsequently prepared full-grid versions of the data to take advantage of some recent improvements in netCDF software. The VEMAP Team provided the ORNL DAAC with the full-grid format data (i.e., all grids will be represented in the data set file).
