This basic extent information supports spatial/temporal searches that are increasingly important as the number of map based search interfaces increases. Many of the attributes included in this spiral can be calculated from the data if the file is compliant with the NetCDF Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Convention. Describes a simple latitude, longitude, vertical and temporal bounding box. For a more detailed geospatial coverage, see the suggested geospatial attributes. Further refinement of the geospatial bounding box can be provided by using these units and resolution attributes. Many of these extent attributes are calculated using the CF-Conventions.
