[CF-metadata] Herbaceous vegetation area type and a new LULCC carbon flux standard name for LUMIP

2018-04-17 Thread Martin Juckes - UKRI STFC
Hello All, We have two outstanding CF metadata requirements for the LUMIP CMIP6 data request. (1) An area type is needed for non-woody, or herbaceous, vegetation. LUMIP variable: nwdFracLut Percentage of land use tile that is non-woody vegetation ( e.g. herbaceous crops) Plants can be divi

Dear All, I don't know if this helps, but our plan for the CMIP6 data request is to deal with any conflict between the metadata requested and the convention by providing users with a list of exceptions. We do our best to make all the requested parameters fit the convention, but with thousands

Dear group, but I'd like to add that EUMETSAT also will be depending on using radians as units for our products using geostationary projections. We have the same issue that Randy notes - the scan characteristics of the instrument mean that it steps its view along an axis which changes its ang
