The Revised Weather Data file is one of five data files (G0000388-G0000392) containing weather, fuel moisture and test fire behaviour measurements for 11 field stations across Canada. The measurements were taken by forest researchers between 1931 and 1961. This particular file was created from the Basic Weather Data file in order to eliminate the duplication resulting from different instruments measuring the same observation. Also, some information was not considered useful and was therefore eliminated (e.g. cloud cover - direction).
