<font face="Times New Roman">Dear Novice (with clearly more
knowledge than most so-called experts),<br>
<br>
I'm copying a contact for the GEOS-5 model who may be able to
provide some information on this. I can't explain why the monthly
file names are inconsistent with what CMOR2 puts out. Maybe CMOR2
wasn't used. The DRS document doesn't absolutely forbid including
more precision than necessary in specifying the time-periods, so I
don't think we can force them to rename their files. That being
said, my hope was everyone would use CMOR, so the file names would
all follow the same template.<br>

<div>Here is a dataset:</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div><br>
</div>
<div>And here is the file name template for all the variables in
this dataset: </div>
<div>
<div><varname>_Amon_GEOS-5_decadal1960_r1i1p1_19610116-19701216.nc </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My script to generate a GrADS descriptor for this file
barked because the MONTHLY data file has time stamps in the
YYYYMMDD format. </div>
<div>If I have read the DRS document correctly, this a not a
correct file name. </div>
<div>Shouldn't I be able to assume that monthly files will have
only YYYYMM date strings? </div>
