ZenodoSupporting Open Science with the CF Metadata Conventions for NetCDFSlides for the presentation given on 11 December 2024 at the AGU Annual Meeting to the session for the AGU Open Science Recognition Prize. Abstact:The CF (Climate and Forecast) Conventions are a community-developed standard that promotes the sharing and automated processing of Earth systems science data in the netCDF data format (and in Zarr/GeoZarr). The CF conventions define metadata that can be used to describe the coordinate systems, data structure, and geophysical meaning and units of each variable. This enables users of data from different sources to decide which quantities are comparable and facilitates building applications with powerful extraction, analysis, and display capabilities. There is a mature and growing ecosystem of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) and commercial software tools which work with CF. The CF standard has been essential to the success of high-profile internationally-coordinated modeling activities (e.g, the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, which hosts more than 30 million files and more than 15 petabytes of data, all compliant with CF). CF is widely used by weather, climate, ocean and Earth observation scientists, and is gaining traction among others, such as the biogeochemistry and atmospheric chemistry communities.

Day six of the sixth eruption near #Svartsengi and the town of #Grindavík This eruption is the largest one yet. Here is a 4-day series of #Sentinel5p satellite data from the #TROPOMI instrument showing the mean amount of SO₂ in a vertical column of atmosphere (Dobson units). With time this will turn into sulfate particles forming volcanic smog.

This level 3 data is made available by The German Aerospace Center as #NetCDF files and can easily be opend in #QGIS and visualized with MDAL library.

From my colleague, Luke, on #Twitter and #linkedin so far:

" I am trying to expand my network. I have a #YouTube channel where I share tutorials on #FAIR #OpenData, #NetCDF files +Darwin Core Archives

youtube.com/@LukeDataManager

More subscribers/followers -> More people see my videos -> More people learn about FAIR data!

Consider helping me out! "

I really like his videos, check them out.
