======================================================
DIRECTORY STRUCTURE AND FILENAMING CONVENTIONS
======================================================

Images must be organized into satellite sub-folders,
with a sub-folder under each satellite sub-folder called
"animation_images".  Images for specific date / times
should be under the "animation_images" sub-folder and
directly beneath the satellite folder should be the
latest images.

The conventions outlined in the readme file MUST be
followed, otherwise it will cause problems with the web
page.

where

{SATELLITE}        - Satellite (i.e., goes-east).   Use valid 
                     UNIX filenaming convention - alphanumeric, 
					 dashes, periods only, NO underscores (_)!
                     Preferably all lowercase.

animation_images   - This folder is always named "animation_images"

{DATE-TIME-IMAGE}  - Images for a specific date / time, channel and region.
                     These images will have the date / time in the file name. 

{LATEST-IMAGE}     - Images where the file name will always be the same and 
                     will always be the latest date / time.

FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS
------------------------------------------------------

{DATE-TIME-IMAGE}
_________________

{SATELLITE}_{DATE}_{TIME}_{CHANNEL}_{REGION}.{FILE_EXT}

The following "fields" ({}) in the filename should NOT contain any underscores (_)!

{SATELLITE} - satellite name, same conventions as for the folder name and should 
              match the parent satellite folder name exactly (alphanumeric, 
			  dashes and periods, no underscores). 

{DATE}      - date, YYYYDOY format, i.e., year followed by day of year 
              (zero padded) - example: 2016108

{TIME}      - time, HHMM format - zero padded hour and minute - example: 1645 

{CHANNEL}   - channel, any valid UNIX filename string (i.e., alphanumeric ...) 
              except no underscores (_)

{REGION}    - region, any valid UNIX filename string (i.e., alphanumeric ...) 
              except no underscores (_)

{FILE_EXT}  - jpg or gif

Example:

goes-east_2016108_1645_01_conus.gif

{LATEST-IMAGE}
_________________

latest_{SATELLITE}_{CHANNEL}_{REGION}.{FILE_EXT}

The "fields" in these filenames are the same as above.

Example:

latest_goes-east_01_fd.gif
