| VersionID: | V1 |
| Description: | This file includes long-term mean (climatology) and standard deviation of monthly values for October over the baseline period 1981-2010 using MERRA-2 data. There is one file for each month that includes multiple 2D variables. This file can be used for climatology plots and climate anomaly calculations. |
