 Data file format:   Files are ascii, written using fortran format '(3f8.1)'. Each file contains four header lines defining the data source and each column. Data follows in three columns, 64800(=360*180) lines. Latitude and longitude are implicit in the line index where:
line 1 is 89.5N, -179.5W
line 361 is 88.5N, -179.5W etc. . .
