Hi Aleksandar (and David), Its great to hear from you especially on the subject of specifying netCDF-CF extensions for the Geoscience Community. During our time working on GSICS (ref: http://gsics.wmo.int), we both have struggled to progress with this task and I welcome your (and David's) initiative to work on this much needed improvement to support the usability of geosciences data in user community. We at EUMETSAT have implemented netCDF versions of our MFG, MSG and MetOp products as the Data Centre Archive's common delivery format for our user community. For more information on what is available, please refer to the following web-page: http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/Data/DataDelivery/EUMETSATDataCentre/NetCDFFormatforDataCentreProducts/index.html Examples of these products can be found here (also examples of swath type data): http://gsics.eumetsat.int/thredds/netCdfExamples.html I've attached a draft documents list the CF standard names and units we have used in our netCDF products. I authored this document during their development with the support from our instrument experts and engineers. I hope this document is useful in the preparation of the CF extensions proposals. Please keep me informed on the progress made on this project.

One of the planned extensions is about storing satellite swath data in the original instrument viewing geometry (often times referred to as Level 1 and Level 2 data). This topic has been discussed on the mailing list several times in the past and this time we intend to go all the way and submit a proposal to the CF governing body. The proposal?s aim is to support as many swath types as possible for data collected by any type of instrument aboard satellites and aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles. This message is a request for input. In order for the proposal to comprehensively represent the current community practices in storing swath-like data we are asking for examples of your netCDF files. The best is to send us the output of a ?ncdump -h? command or point us to sample files accessible via the Internet. All received samples will be added to the github.com/diwg/diwg<http://www.github.com/diwg/diwg> collection. In case of HDF5 files, send us the output of a ?h5dump -A? command. The currently anticipated timeline is to prepare a draft proposal by the end of 2016 and invite community review. We will be posting important updates about the progress. Thank you!
