Actually, a brief interlude to churn out the tmin & tmax primaries, which got sort-of
forgotten after dtr was done:

Welcome! This is the GLO2ABS program.
I will create a set of absolute grids from
a set of anomaly grids (in .glo format), also
a gridded version of the climatology.
Enter the path and name of the normals file: gunzip clim.6190.lan.tmn
FILE NOT FOUND - PLEASE TRY AGAIN: clim.6190.lan.tmn
Enter a name for the gridded climatology file: clim.6190.lan.tmn.grid
Enter the path and stem of the .glo files: tmnglo/tmn.
Enter the starting year: 1901
Enter the ending year: 2006
Enter the path (if any) for the output files: tmnabs
Now, CONCENTRATE. Addition or Percentage (A/P)? A
Right, erm.. off I jolly well go!
tmn.01.1901.glo
(etc)
tmn.12.2006.glo
#####
Welcome! This is the MERGEGRIDS program.
I will create decadal and full gridded files
from the output files of (eg) glo2abs.for.
Enter a gridfile with YYYY for year and MM for month: tmnabs/tmn.MM.YYYY.glo.abs
Enter Start Year: 1901
Enter Start Month: 01
Enter End Year: 2006
Enter End Month: 12
Please enter a sample OUTPUT filename, replacing
start year with SSSS and end year with EEEE: cru_ts_3_00.SSSS.EEEE.tmn.dat
Writing cru_ts_3_00.1901.1910.tmn.dat

This took longer than hoped.. running out of disk space again. This is why Tim didn't save more of
the intermediate products - which would have made my detective work easier. The ridiculous process
he adopted - and which we have dutifully followed - creates hundreds of intermediate files at every
stage, none of which are automatically zipped/unzipped. Crazy. I've filled a 100gb disk!
