🎉 Generate spreadsheet templates for recording data and metadata for CF-NetCDF files! 🚀
The latest update adds a sheet for variable attributes—metadata describing each variable.

Templates bring structure and enable automated CF-NetCDF creation with scripts. In the future, I plan to develop a converter tool ion top of this—upload a template, download a CF-NetCDF!
Version 1.12 of the CF conventions is out: https://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.12/cf-conventions.html
And it is published to Zenodo and citeable, so if you use CF, please consider citing it in your publications: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14275599
Today, my YouTube channel LukeDataManager hit 1,000 subscribers! 🎉

I started it to archive tutorials for the Nansen Legacy project but soon realised the global need for more FAIR data training. Now, I create videos on CF-NetCDF, Darwin Core Archives, and best practices for data publishing.
Thanks to everyone watching and sharing—I’m excited to keep guiding you through the FAIR data revolution! 🚀
Any ideas for future videos? Let me know!
Excited to share that I'm now a member of the CF Conventions Committee! 🎉
CF (Climate and Forecast) conventions standardise how scientific data and metadata are stored in NetCDF files, ensuring consistency and machine readability. Looking forward to contributing and collaborating with the community to shape its future! 🌍

🚀 Excited to share my new FREE video tutorial on creating CF-NetCDF files using R! 🌟
In this video, you'll learn to:
• Ensure compliance with CF and ACDD conventions
• Work with 1D, 2D, and 3D data
• Manage irregular grids and moving instruments

I’m pleased to share that my NetCDF in Python and R tutorials are now available on NorDataNet. 🎉
Access them here:
Python: https://www.nordatanet.no/NetCDF-in-Python-from-beginner-to-pro
R: https://www.nordatanet.no/NetCDF-in-R-from-beginner-to-pro
These tutorials cover everything from basic data extraction to creating your own NetCDF files, ensuring they meet CF and ACDD standards for FAIR data.
NorDataNet enhances access to environmental datasets, supporting long-term preservation and interoperability. 🌍📊
🌍 Heading to the 2024 CF Workshop in Norrköping, Sweden! 🇸🇪 CF conventions are vital for ensuring data adheres to the FAIR principles. While NetCDF files are great, CF standards make data truly interoperable across disciplines.
I'll be sharing ideas on introducing CF to new disciplines like biology and geology, helping them unlock the full potential of their data. Excited to learn how CF conventions evolve and meet the community! 🌟

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting the University Centre in Svalbard, where I hold a 20% position. It was a productive trip, and I:
🟠 Presented on how to publish UNIS data 📊
🟠 Presented on using ChatGPT for productivity 🤖
🟠 Ran a data publishing workshop 💻
🟠 Updated the UNIS website 🌐. https://www.unis.no/how-to-publish-unis-data/
It’s always great to reconnect with colleagues and friends. I continue to offer year-round support on data management for UNIS staff and students.
🌍📊 Want to work with NetCDF files in Python? My tutorial series covers everything from opening and plotting NetCDF data to creating CF-compliant files for FAIR data publication.
Whether you're new to NetCDF or looking to enhance your skills, I've got you covered! 🚀 Check it out: https://lhmarsden.github.io/NetCDF_in_Python_from_beginner_to_pro
Topics include:
🔸Extracting data 📝
🔸Plotting 📈

Thanks for the welcome! It is good to be here after leaving Twitter.
I think I will continue with YouTube to maximise how many people can see my videos. I will try to share direct links!
🚀 New Video Alert! 🚀
I’ve just released a tutorial on how to convert NetCDF data to CSV or XLSX using R. Whether you’re dealing with 1D, 2D, or 3D variables, this video will guide you through the process step-by-step.
