CF extensions for satellite data ESIP Summer Meeting 2012
Possible extensions circa Winter 2011 • 1. Spectral bands • Define as dimension rather than coordinate variable • Pre-define band names • Pre-define by wavelength/frequency range • Proposal by Tom Whittaker • 2. Data quality • Modifiers such as "percent_cloud_free" • 3. Level 3-specific • Local/solar time • 4. Level 2-specific • Orbital parameters/swath geometry • 5. Level 1-specific • Calibration tables/engineering parameters
Whittaker proposal for spectral bands • Create two coordinate axis types ("wavelength" and "wavenumber") that can be recognized by the NetCDF library as defining a "spectral coordinate". • Similar to time dimension variable • New standard names also needed • center_wavelength, or wavelength • center_wavenumber, or wavenumber
