The first level of subdirectory is the Storm basin(ATL) and the Year and all directories subordinate will have data for storms which occurred in that year. The README.TXT in the ATL1961 directory is the directory structure for the 1961 digital archives.

The second level of subdirectories are labeled by the storm name. In 1961 they were Anna, Betsy, Carla, Debbie, Esther, an unamed storm, Frances, Gerda, Hattie, Jenny and Inga. The README.TXT file in this level of directories lists and summarizes the files archived.
