All data is filed with both intuitive naming conventions and convenient directory names. The naming convention of the data is as follows: Composites (McIDAS AREA format files) ---------- arctic.composite.BAND.YYYY_Month_DD.TT00UTC.area -where BAND is the type of imagery (i.e. InraredWindow, LongwaveInfrared, ShortwaveInfrared, WaterVapor), YYYY is the year (i.e. 2011), Month is the month (i.e. February), DD is the day of the month (i.e. 01, 12, 31), and TT00 is the UTC time where TT is 01-23 (i.e. 0100, 1200, 2300).
