NetCDF and CF: The Basics

Feedback form is now closed.

This workshop will teach some of the basics of CF metadata for netCDF data files with some hands-on work available in Jupyter Notebooks using Python. Along with introduction to netCDF and CF, we will introduce the CF data model and discuss some netCDF implementation details to consider when deciding how to write data with CF and netCDF. We will cover gridded data as well as in situ data (stations, soundings, etc.) and touch on storing geometries data in CF.
