Tmax-A Mean daily maximum temperature Tmin-A Mean daily minimum temperature
Tmax Absolute max temperature for month Tmin Absolute min temperature for month
Tavg Mean monthly temperature DPavg Mean monthly dewpoint
MSLP Mean monthly SLP Pcpn Mean monthly precip
Dir Mean monthly wind vector direction Spd Mean monthly wind speed
Snow Mean monthly snowfall Snow depth Mean monthly snow depth
MEAN Give the monthly mean for the entire POR
Note: The "Mean Wind Vector" is the resultant wind vector of adding all the individual wind vectors.
So the easterly (northerly) component will cancel the westerly (southerly) component.
