CAM2 File naming convention

Hi,

I have a question about the CAM2 file naming convention eg: b30.009.cam2.h0.0640-10.nc.
What are the numbers standing for? My question arises as I am trying to figure out if the
data contained in this file are valid for the year 2005.

Thanks in advance,

Francois

cam history files, by default, are named:

caseid.cam2.h0.yyyy-mm.nc

so, your file apparently contains the monthly output from october
of year 640...not sure if this data is valid for 2005...hope that helps...

this information was extracted from section 3.1.4 of the cam
users guide:
