*** 00readmefcarc *** cursory documentation of archive of GOES Sounder DPI data (gif files) for Florida-area CRYSTAL experiment Data are ordered by date; each day's products are contained in its own directory, named in the "yyddd" format (day of the year). Typical naming convention example: fcpw.02182.1500.gif fc - for Florida-area CRYSTAL pw - parameter abbreviation (here it's precipitable water) .02182 - day of the year [yyddd - from (20)02, the 182nd day .1500 - time UTC [hhmm] aka 01 Jul 2002] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - cd 02177 (... goes/realtime/face/arc/02177 ...) ls -l (... showing the 12 through 14 UTC window ...)
