How to use and contribute

Forms

Please use the appropriate form to create new pages, so they can be searchable via Category pages. First ensure no page already exists through the Categories  : Concept, Fundamentals, Glossary.

The templates control the formatting, but a free form text box allows the users to add any supporting information (figures, citations). Through these forms, users can optionally assign optional category for the instrument type(s).

There are two forms i.e., page types that can be used by anyone on the wiki:

1. Glossary for mathematical and data symbols
2. Concept for defining short, reusable Concepts or longer derivations which are categorized as Fundamentals

Glossary

The glossary is for defining mathematical symbols and NetCDF variables. Please use this form or the edit with form (example) at the top of existing pages that have already been formatted according to the template. These pages are automatically appended a category Glossary.

Concept

For any definitions, concepts, or processing steps that need describing please use this form, but first ensure no page already exists through the Categories Concept and/or Fundamentals.

The form will ask if you are creating a Concept, or a Fundamentals page. If a concept becomes long, i.e., contains too many topics, consider making it a fundamentals page or splitting the page into smaller concepts.
