This is how we manage our case study data for use with Gempak. Each event has
it's own directory with the typical gempak subdirs on a separate partition
from our"live" data. They also have their own Gemenviron file that
can be sourced prior to running any of the gempak programs (ntl). I've been
working on a script to archive events automaticaly but it never seems to get
far enough up my list of"to-do's" for me to finish it.
