Notes 1991-1994 Hourly means: The D component tabular values should all be negative (looking at 1990 and 1995 values and what's expected from model) APART from those in 1993 where the tabular base is -3. In these cases the tabular base needs to change to -2, 600 subtracted from the tabular values and then the sign changed. [fixed on 2009-01-23]

1992 Hourly means: The D component tabular base for November and December should have 1 added to it, and the tabular values should have 600 subtracted and the sign changed. [fixed fixed 2009-05-11]
