Hi all,
The 2023 AGU Fall Meeting <https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting> will be held
11-15 December 2023 in San Francisco, CA and online. The call for abstracts
is open with a 2 August 2023 deadline.
Please consider submitting to session IN017
<https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/192249> "CF and NetCDF:
30 Years of Wide Open Science".
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.
We hope to see you there.
