What this form does
This form captures information required to define a mathematical variable or NetCDF data format. It passes the supplied fields to this template, so they can be formatted according to the template’s specifications.
The template also automatically assigns the entry to Category:Glossary, and any (optional) instrument specific category if requested by the user.
How to create a new page
Please create pages using the variable's standard/full name, as opposed to a symbol. The supplied name is the wiki page's title. This will help make the category list more meaningful. For example, creating a page named Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation is more meaningful title than epsilon.
When to use this form
- First ensure no page already exists through the Categories:Glossary list.
- If one exists, you can edit with form on the page itself.
- To create a new page, enter the page name below; if a page with that name already exists, you will be sent to a form to edit that page.
