The files in nogaps0.5a start in 2007. All filenaming conventions are the same as for nogaps0.5c. These files are updated daily and pushed to the Navy DSRC. The tail end of these files contain forecasts typically out to tau=120 hrs. When the forcing is processed the following day, the previous day's forecasts get throw away and are overwritten with the appropriate analysis fields and the forecasts out to tau=120 for that day.
