The missing GAP data were NOT added into the data file by the FCE Information Manager and then tagged as 'Missing'. Those data values included in the data file tagged as 'Missing' were included in the original download from the NCDC. The FCE Information Manager (June 2014) converted original air temperatures from tenths of degrees C to Degrees C. Converted original precipitation from tenths of mm to mm.
