The American Geophysical Union's 2023 Fall Meeting in will be held 11-15 December 2023 in San Francisco, CA. This year's theme is “Wide. Open. Science.”
The organizers of session IN017: CF and NetCDF: 30 Years of Wide Open Science encourage you to consider submitting an abstract for this session. From the session description:
The CF (Climate and Forecast) Conventions are a community-developed standard for describing Earth system science data in the netCDF data format. The CF Conventions can encode information that describes the coordinate systems, data structure, and geophysical meaning and units of each variable, and how the data were collected. It is widely used by weather and climate scientists and remote-sensing researchers and is gaining traction in new communities, such as biogeochemistry and operational weather prediction. It has a mature ecosystem of FOSS and commercial software tools that can explore, analyze, and visualize data that is encoded using the CF Conventions.
This session will focus on efforts to extend the existing CF Conventions; recent advances in the CF and netCDF software ecosystem; the experience of projects in domains and features new to CF and netCDF (e.g., new standard names, compression, aggregation, Zarr); optimization of data formats; and engagement with the community.
The submission deadline for abstracts is 2 August 2023.
