1. P1 correction! - The precipitation files to use for P1 were listed incorrectly.  The files listed were not hybrid ERA-40 precipitation.  They were the original ERA-40 precipitation.  We have added a new experiment PE to represent what we had wanted originally in P1.  Please see the table of experiements for the corrections.
