maximum temperature: 2 m above ground (Kelvin): tmax.gdas.yyyymm.grb2 –> max of 4 values per day
minimum temperature: 2 m above ground (Kelvin): tmin.gdas.yyyymm.grb2 –> max of 4 values per day
precipitation rate: ground or water surface (kg m-2 s-1): prate.gdas.yyyymm.grb2 –> sum of 4 values per day which are converted to cm / 6-hour
