<br>
completely understandable that the discrepancy crept in with so
many details to worry about. Thanks very much for correcting the
problem. This will make it much easier for users.<br>

<pre wrap="">Karl, Jennifer,
Sorry this was a problem.
We will rename the files and republish.
We did use CMOR to produce the original files,
but because of the problems at NCCS with the large number
of files, we had to aggregate them and this was done by
hand, using the same script for monthlies and dailys.
I am ccing Denis Nadeau who is working this.

<pre wrap="">Dear Novice (with clearly more knowledge than most so-called experts),
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.

<pre wrap="">Dear Experts,
Here is a dataset:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pcmdi3.llnl.gov/esgcet/dataset/cmip5.output1.NASA-GMAO.GEOS-5.decadal1960.mon.atmos.Amon.r1i1p1.html">http://pcmdi3.llnl.gov/esgcet/dataset/cmip5.output1.NASA-GMAO.GEOS-5.decadal1960.mon.atmos.Amon.r1i1p1.html</a>
And here is the file name template for all the variables in this dataset:
<varname>_Amon_GEOS-5_decadal1960_r1i1p1_19610116-19701216.nc
My script to generate a GrADS descriptor for this file barked because the
MONTHLY data file has time stamps in the YYYYMMDD format.
If I have read the DRS document correctly, this a not a correct file name.
Shouldn't I be able to assume that monthly files will have only YYYYMM date
strings?
