    See W. Large and S. Yeager, 2004: "Diurnal to Decadal Global
	Forcing for Ocean and Sea-Ice Models: The data sets and
	Flux Climatologies", NCAR TECHNICAL NOTE, NCAR/TN-460+STR.
	section 5.2
	
    Comparison of SOC (Southampton Oceanography Centre)
	relative humidity climatology to NCEP 1984-2000
 	mean.  Mean percent difference as a function of latitude
	is used for correcting NCEP values (see script below).
	
    For use with modified latm6 code.

    For use with CORE experiments
