UK Sub-hourly Rainfall data - Columns in the RS table

The surface observation data are in a simple ASCII format.

Description: This entity contains rainfall tip amounts with a time resolution of one minute, from SSER. The identifier is DCNN or rainfall station number. Non-key attributes are taken from mp.srain. There are no QC attributes because, in May 1995, OPR confirmed that there would not be any quality control performed on sub-hourly rainfall.
