variable_level_MODEL_initialdate_zhour_lead1_lastlead_member.filetype
Variable = use variable names specified in data document
Level = Numbers for hPa levels (200, 500, etc), and 2m for 2m temperature, 10m for 10m winds, toa for outgoing longwave radiation, and sfc for the remainder
MODEL = Model name in all caps. Modeling group specified (e.g. FIM).
Initialdate = ddmonyyyyy where dd is 2-digit day, mon is 3 character month abbreviation and yyyy is 4-digit year
zhour=hhz initial hour in UTC; where hh is 2 digit hour (e.g. 00z-09z; 10z-23z)
Lead 1= dxx where xx is two digit lead of first time record in days
Last lead = dyy where yy is lead of last time record in days
Member = mzz where zz is 2 digit ensemble member (e.g. m00-m09 and >=10 are 2-digit)
filetype = nc for netcdf or grb for grib
