Missing values are denoted by 99.999. Annual average data have been augmented (data in parentheses) when only 1 or 2 months are missing for that year, by substituting the monthly fit value(s) for missing (99.999) data and then averaging the 12 values. The month without data is still shown as 99.999 while this recomputed annual average is shown in parentheses. These monthly data have been adjusted from January 1992 to the present by adding -0.112 per mil.
