Version2.2 - This version of NCEI Accession 0001402 contains the previously submitted 
data in .csv format in the directory /data/0-data/2003/. Each .csv file contains 
all the data for the corresponding year and month as listed in the filename. The 
filenaming convention is not consistant between the most recent submission and the 
previous submission.

The most recent filenaming convention is as follows:

YYYYMM.csv

Where,
	YYYY - The four digit year for the data collected.
	MM   - The two digit month for the data collected.

The re-submitted data were transferred via FTP in a .zip file. The .zip file was 
uncompressed and the data files were stored in the directory corresponding to the 
.zip file naming convention. 

To update this accession to conform to new archiving practices, NCEI has performed the 
following actions:

The previous data was stored in /data/0-data/ as .zip files. Those .zip files have
been uncompressed and the data files are found in the directory corresponding to the
.zip file naming convention. The .zip files were then deleted.

The files in /data/1-data/ were the uncompressed .zip files from the original 
submission. Since these files are now stored in /data/0-data/, the /data/1-data/ 
directory has been removed.
