 # GeoCAT-datafiles
 
-This repository contains the many data files that are used by 
-[GeoCAT-examples](https://github.com/NCAR/geocat-examples) and possibly other GeoCAT components 
-to test or demonstrate GeoCAT functionality. The repo has several directories for different data files types 
-(such as NetCDF) as well as provide a convenience function to access those files with ease:
