[Go-essp-tech] Incorrect file names?

[Max Suarez]

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.
