Actions: NCEI took the the following actions at the request of the WMO. All 3 Western Sahara stations (Dakhla_60096, Laayoune_60033 and Smara_60335) have been removed from this version of the CLINO 1991-2020 data set. Information regarding the 3 Western Sahara stations has been removed from the Region 1 explanatory document (Explanatory_Information_Region1.pdf). Data for these stations also have been removed from the composite primary parameter data files and from the global maps of the primary parameters. Version2.2: The contents of this version are the same as 1.1 with the exception of the removal of the Western Sahara stations as noted above.
