Climate and Forecast Metadata Conventions

Community / Open Project Active

The CF Conventions Community develops and maintains the Climate and Forecast metadata conventions, which define standards for the description of Earth sciences data stored in NetCDF and other formats. The conventions promote interoperability and self-describing datasets across climate science, oceanography, and atmospheric research.
