44title : NetCDF Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Conventions
5- version : ' 1.12'
6- date-released : ' 2024-12-04'
7- doi : 10.5281/zenodo.14275599
8- abstract : This document describes the CF conventions for climate and forecast metadata
9- designed to promote the processing and sharing of files created with the netCDF
10- Application Programmer Interface. The conventions define metadata that provide a
11- definitive description of what the data in each variable represents, and of the
12- spatial and temporal properties of the data. This enables users of data from different
13- sources to decide which quantities are comparable, and facilitates building applications
14- with powerful extraction, regridding, and display capabilities. The CF conventions
15- generalize and extend the COARDS conventions. The extensions include metadata that
16- provides a precise definition of each variable via specification of a standard name,
17- describes the vertical locations corresponding to dimensionless vertical coordinate
18- values, and provides the spatial coordinates of non-rectilinear gridded data. Since
19- climate and forecast data are often not simply representative of points in space/time,
20- other extensions provide for the description of coordinate intervals, multidimensional
21- cells and climatological time coordinates, and indicate how a data value is representative
22- of an interval or cell. This standard also relaxes the COARDS constraints on dimension
23- order and specifies methods for reducing the size of datasets.
