know this is an unusual case - but it is another example of an understandable
slip that can be made when producing data. When Laura republishes these
should it be under a new publication data set version or not? I
think the only thing that is changing is the filename - is that right? I
don't think this warrants a new publication data set version, but could be
wrong.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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.

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
