[Go-essp-tech] Incorrect file names?

[Laura Carriere]

Okay, the GMAO data "gained" the dd during the file aggregation process 
after CMOR2 was run.  And the COLA data does not have the yyyymmdd 
format like I thought, I spoke too soon.  The GMAO data provider can 
rename the files and we can republish but at the moment we are waiting 
for more memory for the server.  A republish without the memory would 
essentially take the server offline for an unacceptable period of time 
so this will have to wait.  I don't know when the memory order will 
arrive but we plan to install it as soon as possible after that.

   Laura.
