[Go-essp-tech] Incorrect file names?

[Jennifer Adams]

Dear Experts, 

Here is a dataset:
http://pcmdi3.llnl.gov/esgcet/dataset/cmip5.output1.NASA-GMAO.GEOS-5.decadal1960.mon.atmos.Amon.r1i1p1.html

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?
