 "trackep2014_ep.sh"
  Amanda)         code1=ep012014.dat; DATEST=20140522; DATEND=20140529;;

ep012014.dat is used to find two files aep012014.dat and bep012014.dat within hit package's 
archive data location: hit_pkg/hit/tpctrack

Note: 
a) use NHC's website "http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2014/" to verify storm ID and storm base. 
b) If you don't set it right "  Amanda)         code1=ep012014.dat; DATEST=20140522; DATEND=20140529;;" in script such as  "trackep2014_ep.sh", then everything will go wrong.
