Scenarios and Examples

This section collects some representative projects and explores how Unidata-supported and other tools can be combined into a robust data management workflow. These examples are not intended as exhaustive recommendations, but rather as examples of how the various tools described in this resource center might fit together to solve a range of data management problems.

Share your experience

If you have developed a data management workflow you feel might be applicable beyond your own project, and of interest to others in the Unidata community, please share it with us. Contact the Data Management Resource Center team to discuss including a description or project and data managament workflow here.

Scenario: ASCII Data from a variety of instruments (PECAN Field Study)

Data files are collected by instruments in the field. ASCII files are converted to netCDF using Rosetta, adding metadata.

Scenario: ASCII Data from a variety of instruments (FIT Lagoon Study)

Data files are collected by instruments in the field. ASCII files are are used in spreadsheet format.

Scenario: Output from model simulations (NCSU)

Data files used as input for computer model simulations, and the output from those model runs.

Scenario: Binary Data collected from multiple instruments (OWLeS)

Data files are collected by instruments in the field. Binary files from the instruments are converted to netCDF using custom code.

Additional scenarios are being documented.
