The CF Standards Cluster
Objectives
- Propose extensions to the CF naming conventions that are relevant to observational data
- Create use cases and interoperability demos that demonstrate the value of CF usage in remote sensing
- Provide tutorials at Federation meetings on the use of the CF conventions
Get Involved: Monthly Telecons
- Next telecon:
- Tuesday Jan 17, 2pm ET / 11am PT (tentative)
- Dial: 877-668-4493
- Access code: 23138379
- Agenda:
- HDF-EOS / CF Conversion Table
- Summer Meeting Plans/ Technical Workshop showing CF-aware tools
- CF extensions needed for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 data
- Minutes of past telecons/meetings:
Possible CF Extensions
- 1. Spectral bands
- Define as dimension rather than coordinate variable
- Pre-define band names
- Pre-define by wavelength/frequency range
- Proposal by Tom Whittaker
- 2. Data quality
- Modifiers such as "percent_cloud_free"
- 3. Swath geometry (Level 2 data)
- Orbital parameters
- 4. Engineering parameters (Level 1 data)
- Calibration tables
CF-Aware Tools
H4CF Conversion Library- provides CF-compliant access to HDF4 and HDF-EOS2 files
