(submitted to Climate Dynamics, soon available on that site) 75 79 76 - the retrieval method for radiative fluxes has slightly changed (0-24 hour averages whereas the previous version was based on 24-48h averages from the previous day forecast). This has a very minor impact on the validation statistics and all the validations presented in `Praveen Kumar et al., 2011 <http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/~tropflux/papers/TropFlux_paper_accepted_r.pdf>`_ are almost unchanged.80 - the retrieval method for radiative fluxes has slightly changed (0-24 hour averages whereas the previous version was based on 24-48h averages from the previous day forecast).
