The main goals of the EarthCube "Advancing netCDF-CF for the Geoscience Community" project are to work with the existing netCDF-CF community to:
-
Increase the range of geoscience domains using netCDF-CF and active in the community
-
Extend the netCDF-CF standard to support data from a wider range of geoscience domains
-
Collaborate with other standards groups such as the OGC, ESIP, RDA, and NASA ESDS
The project will gather scientific use-cases and example datasets to guide the drafting of documents detailing enhancements to the CF standard. Close collaboration with the existing netCDF-CF community and engagement with new geoscience domains as well as other standards groups will lead to strong community agreement around the proposed enhancements.
