:1. Spectral bands
 
::Define as dimension rather than coordinate variable
 
::Pre-define band names
 
::Pre-define by wavelength/frequency range
 
::[[Spectral_Band|Proposal by Tom Whittaker]]
 
 
 
:2. Data quality
 
::Modifiers such as "percent_cloud_free"
 
 
 
:3. Level 3-specific
 
::Local/solar time
 
 
 
:4. Level 2-specific
 
::Orbital parameters/swath geometry
 
 
 
:5. Level 1-specific
 
::Calibration tables/engineering parameters
 
 
 
==netCDF and ISO==
 
Some ideas about the relationship between the [https://geo-ide.noaa.gov/wiki/index.php?title=NetCDF_and_ISO_Metadata netCDF metadata model and ISO] are available. Input on those topics are welcome on the NOAA GEO-IDE wiki or here!
 
== netCDF Templates for in-situ data types ==
 
NODC has recently proposed a set of [https://geo-ide.noaa.gov/wiki/index.php?title=Category:NODC_NetCDF_Templates netCDF Templates] for in-situ data types. These are important potential extensions to the CF Conventions.
 
 
 
== netCDF files with groups ==
 
[http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/thredds/fileServer/testdata/NDBC_41001_201101_D1333_v00.nc Here] is a netCDF-4 file created by NDBC which uses groups. The THREDDS link to the dataset is [http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/thredds/catalog/testdata/catalog.html?dataset=testdata/NDBC_41001_201101_D1333_v00.nc here].
 
 
 
 
 
== CF-Aware Tools ==
 
[http://hdfeos.org/software/h4cflib.php H4CF Conversion Library]- provides CF-compliant access to HDF4 and HDF-EOS2 files
