i was comparing the output rasters with a png [1] a same period. 
eg Jul_2006. it seems that in the bin [2] file N is S and vise versa.
The phenomenon can be seen clearly by comparing the western coast of
India between [1] and [2]

I don't think I'm doing something wrong, but can anyone cross check just
to be sure I didn't anything stupid on my side?

Best regards
