7.2 Where is CF Metadata Used?
CF has been adopted by many earth-science projects;
encouraged by important groups, institutions, and partnerships; and
supported or required by various software packages for analysis
and visualization.
Projects adopting CF include 23 groups:
- AMIP: Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project
- APE: Aqua-Planet Experiment
- CCMVal: Chemistry-Climate Model Validation Activity
- CEOP: Coordinated Energy and Water Cycle Observation Project
- CFMIP: Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project
- C-LAMP: CCSM Carbon LAnd Model intercomparison Project
- CMIP3: Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (Phase 3)
- C3-Grid: Collaborative Climate Community Data and Processing Grid
- DAMOCLES: Developing Arctic Modeling and Observing Capabilities for Long-term Environmental Studies
- ENSEMBLES
- Godiva2 Data Visualization System
- Gulf of Maine Model Interoperability Project
- Humboldt
- IOOS: Integrated Ocean Observing System
- MERSEA: Marine Environment and Security for the European Area
- MetaMod
- NARCCAP: North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program
- NERC DataGrid
- NERC RAPID THCMIP (Thermohaline Circulation Model Intercomparison Project)
- PMIP: Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project
- SAMOS: Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System
- SeaDataNet
- TF HTAP Coordinated Model Studies (TF HTAP = Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollutants)
