Revised data values of +150mm for 2000 and 2001 were found for Cabo de San Antonio these were entered onto the database. However on the revised listing there are no data values for June-December 2001. A task file was found under new_data/cuba/2003 which contained data values for the 12 months for 2001. I was unable to find where these data values came from. The data values June-December were flagged.

To reflect the fact that the monthly means supplied refer to TGZ and not GND the RLR diagram has been redrawn. As a result the RLRFAC has changed fron 6.367m for the data up to 2002 to 6.567m and from 6.217m for data 2005 onwards to 6.417m. RLR (2008) is now 8.8m below TGBM 014155.
