CF_Naming_Conventions Description: [[TermDesc::CF Metadata Conventions support interoperability of Earth Science data. A central element of the CF Conventions is the Standard Name Table, which uniquely associates each standard name with a geophysical parameter (see namig guidelines. These can be used to find or compare datasets in catalog browsers such as AQ_uFIND. There are 680 CF-registered atmospheric chemistry names (thank you C. Textor and others), covering mostly model-generated parameters. The naming of observation-parameters is poorly covered (volunteers in the community ?).]]

CF Convention Dimensions and Coordinate Information
Metadata required to locate data in space and time. Special on vertical coordinates (Kari, Decker, Martin). Coordinate (0-360 or -180 to +180) - Martin
CF Convention for Names for Air Quality and Atmospheric Composition
The CF standard name table specifies the possible values of the standard_name attribute defined by the CF NetCDF standard. As an example CF standard names, the entry for sea-level atmospheric pressure includes:
- standard name: air_pressure_at_sea_level
- description: sea_level means mean sea level, which is close to the geoid in sea areas. Air pressure at sea level is the * quantity often abbreviated as MSLP or PMSL.
- canonical units: Pa
