CF

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)

The CF Cluster of the ESIP Federation

Objectives

Propose relevant extensions to the CF naming conventions that are relevant to observational data
Provide tutorials on the use of the CF conventions at Federation meetings
Create use cases that demonstrate the value of CF usage in remote sensing

Get Involved: Monthly Telecons

Next telecon: to be announced
Minutes of past telecons/meetings:

Topics

Spectral bands
Define as dimension rather than coordinate variable
Pre-define band names
Pre-define by wavelength/frequency range
Data quality
Modifiers such as "percent_cloud_free"
Swath geometry
Engineering parameters
Difficult challenge
