CRU data dump no.1 - lost data

Oops.

Bear in mind that there is no working synthetic method for cloud, because Mark New    lost the coefficients file and never found it again (despite searching on tape    archives at UEA) and never recreated it. This hasn't mattered too much, because    the synthetic cloud grids had not been discarded for 1901-95, and after 1995    sunshine data is used instead of cloud data anyway.

Boab, great forensics and comment. It's like lifting the lid on a vast sewer. Keep up the good work.
