🎉 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
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

🌍 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! 🌟
