Air Quality/Chemistry Naming Conventions

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)


This is a wiki for the development of CF-compliant naming conventions for air chemistry and aerosols.

NetCDF Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Convention

The CF conventions for climate and forecast metadata are designed to promote the processing and sharing of files created with the netCDF API The conventions define metadata that provide a definitive description of what the data in each variable represents, and of the spatial and temporal properties of the data. This enables users of data from different sources to decide which quantities are comparable, and facilitates building applications with powerful extraction, regridding, and display capabilities.
