Below we list the metadata required in a NetCDF data file, as well as the optional meta data we highly recommend that are included with the data set.

The parameter names should be used as listed (attention to underscores). The descriptions are example text or several options that are available for that parameter.


Required Metadata

title A comprehensive title for the dataset including the time and location aspect CF, ACDD
authors A list of authors ATOMIX
summary An abstract describing the dataset ACCD
comment Supplementary technical details about the collecting and processing of the dataset CF, ACDD
platform_type The platform from which the data are collected, e.g., sub-surface mooring, research vessel, sub-surface glider ACDD
source The instrument used for collecting the data. For example, vertical microstructure profiler, VMP2000 SN009 CF, ACDD
date_created The date on which the data were created, yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SSZ ACDD
date_modified The date on which the data were last modified, yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SSZ ACDD

history Provides an audit trail for modifications to the original data; e.g., Version 1 CF, ACDD

It is highly recommended to duplicate relevant attributes at the corresponding group level. Attributes not listed in the Climate and Forecast (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD) standards are labeled as ATOMIX.
