Cell values:
 The value in each cell is the range in temperatures for the 
month at that x,y location.  It is a continuous variable in units 
(increments) of 1/10th of a Degree Centigrade (ie. a value 
of 100 = a range of 10.0 degrees C).  The range in temperature 
data can be used to calculate average minimum and average 
maximum temperatures, using: min = meantemp-(range/2).  The 
temperature range data was calculated using the station records 
data from NCDC's Global Historical Climatological Network V2 
data, by Wolfgang Cramer.  Ocean and missing data have values 
of zero.
