CF standard names list. The conventions for climate and forecast (CF)
“metadata” are designed to promote the processing and sharing of files created with
the NetCDF API. The CF conventions are increasingly gaining acceptance and have
been adopted by a number of projects and groups as a primary standard. The conven-
tions define “metadata” that provide a definitive description of what the data in each
variable represents, and 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, re-gridding, and display
capabilities. The CF conventions generalize and extend the COARDS conventions.
19.5.1.3.3 Discussion and Validation of CF “metadata” Takes Place
in Two Formats
1. CF “metadata” Trac, and
2. cf-“metadata” mailing list.
The list is then published by Alison Pamment CF meta data secretary. Alison is
research scientist based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and is responsible
for Climate and Forecast (CF) “metadata” support.
