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


Parameter Name Description
title e.g., Vertical micostructure profiler data from cruise XXX
summary required by ACDD
comment required by CF
platform_type research vessel, sub-surface glider etc
creation_time yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SSZ
date_created yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SSZ
date_update yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SSZ
time_reference_year year for time reference
fs_fast sampling frequency for fast channels
fs_slow [math]\displaystyle{ ^a }[/math] sampling frequency for slow channels
profiling_direction horizontal, vertical, glide
fft_length as data points (note, fft_lengths_sec in seconds is optional)
diss_length as data points
overlap as data points
goodman 0=not applied; 1=applied
HP_cut the high-pass filter cutoff frequency in Hz. Can be zero for no filtering.
conventions CF-1.6, ACDD-1.3, ATOMIX
history Version 1
data_mode D #(D)elayed

[math]\displaystyle{ ^a }[/math] or fast_ctd or similar if such records are included

Optional Metadata


Parameter Name Description
fft_length_sec seconds
diss_length_sec seconds
overlap_sec seconds
f_AA Hz, the anti-aliasing frequency.
FOM_limit non-dimensional, if absent the FOM QC-flag is not set. Typically, 1.1.
diss_ratio_limit non-dimensional, if absent the dissipation ration QC-flag is not set. Typically, 2.77.
despike_shear_fraction_limit non-dimensional, if absent the de-spike fraction QC-flag is not set. Typically, 0.05.
despike_shear_iterations_limit non-dimensional, if absent the de-spike iteration passes QC-flag is not set. Typically 8.
variance_resolved_limit threshold for the minimum percent of variance resolved in a shear spectrum. Typically 50%.
f_limit upper limit to exclude frequencies that have contaminations. Typically infinity.
fit_2_isr dissipation threshold to use the method of fitting to the inertial subrange. Typically 10-5 W/kg.
