What lies underneath science parameters Luis Bermudez MMI 2007
Parameters Composition Parameters are composed (implicitly or explicitly) of the following: • Complex properties • Complex observables • Complex methods Examples from CF and BODC are enclosed
CF - Air_temperature Property Temperature of air Observable
BODC code GTKCMA01 Second maximum level of waves on the water column by waverider and manual record analysis
Complex Property Second maximum level of waves on the water column by waverider and manual record analysis Complex Observable Complex Method

Questions • What constitutes a Complex Property ? • What constitutes a Complex Observable ? • What constitutes a Complex Method ? • How far can we go with CF?
