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 use the form

First ensure no page already exists through the Categories:Glossary category lists, alternative using the search tool!

  • If one exists, you can edit with form on the page itself.
  • If none exists, create new page 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.
