+DART diagnostic output were <i>previously</i> stored in two netCDF files containing 
+the model states just before the adjustment (<em class=file>Prior_Diag.nc</em>) and 
+just after the adjustment (<em class=file>Posterior_Diag.nc</em>). These files are
+now separated into multiple files in order to take advantage of parallel IO. In 
+particular <em class=file>Prior_Diag.nc</em> is broken up into files:
+  <ul><li> <em class=file>preassim_member_####.nc</em></li>
+      <li> <em class=file>preassim_mean.nc</em></li>
+      <li> <em class=file>preassim_sd.nc</em></li>

+      <li> <em class=file>preassim_postinf.nc</em> (if posterior inflation is turned on)</li>
+  </ul>
+and similarly for <em class=file>Posterior_Diag.nc</em> :
+  <ul><li> <em class=file>postassim_member_####.nc</em></li>
+      <li> <em class=file>postassim_mean.nc</em></li>
+      <li> <em class=file>postassim_sd.nc</em></li>

+      <li> <em class=file>postassim_postinf.nc</em> (if posterior inflation is turned on)</li>
+  </ul>
+There is also a text file, <em class=file>obs_seq.final</em>, with the model estimates of the 
+observations.  There is a suite of Matlab&reg; functions that facilitate exploration of the
 results, but the netCDF files are inherently portable and contain all the
 necessary metadata to interpret the contents with other analysis programs
 such as NCL, R, etc.
