EarthCube Advancing netCDF-CF Project

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.
