EarthCube Advancing netCDF-CF for the Geoscience Community Project

The EC netCDF-CF project aims to enhance netCDF-CF and increase its use in the geoscience community. To this end, the project team will organize community workshops focused on developing, refining, and reviewing enhancements to the standard.

EC netCDF-CF hosted Community Workshops

First Workshop: 24-26 May 2016 in Boulder, CO
