Abstract:
    Calibrated data for 143 flat-spectrum extragalactic radio sources are
    presented at a wavelength of 850um covering a 5-yr period from 2000
    April. The data, obtained at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope using
    the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) camera in
    pointing mode, were analysed using an automated pipeline process based
    on the Observatory Reduction and Acquisition Control - Data Reduction
    (ORAC-DR) system. This paper describes the techniques used to analyse
    and calibrate the data, and presents the data base of results along
    with a representative sample of the better-sampled light curves. A
    re-analysis of previously published data from 1997 to 2000 is also
    presented. The combined catalogue, comprising 10493 flux density
    measurements, provides a unique and valuable resource for studies of
    extragalactic radio sources.
