Ah, now I see your reply. Since you have a solution to your
immediate problem, I will not rush the republish but will have it
done as soon as it's convenient. Thanks.<br>

of symlinks to solve my immediate problem, but I still find this a
bit troubling. I will have to check all GEOS-5 data files I grab
from now on. I asked Larry Marx to check if any of COLA's CMIP5
data at NASA have 8-digit date stamps, and he found everything to
be correct with only YYYYMM date strings.

Quick answer on my way to a meeting - CMOR2 was used
for this and at least one other dataset that we have
(from COLA) that also has the yyyymmdd format. I'll
ask a few other questions after my meeting but that's
the short answer.<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>My script to generate a GrADS descriptor

<div>If I have read the DRS document correctly,
this a not a correct file name. </div>
