Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

I am working the GOES-R ground system. We have requirements to generate solar imagery products using NetCDF files. There is another self-describing file format (i.e. FITS) that already has the necessary conventions for solar imagery. Assuming there is interest in augment the CF metadata conventions to support solar imagery... I would think it makes sense to make use of FITS/WCS conventions/keywords as applicable to establish necessary conventions for this type of data. Thoughts ? Note that we also have requirements to generate other level 1b space and solar products used by the climate and forecast communities, and there is likely a need for other metadata conventions to express these products in a manner analogous to earth oriented products. ..............End of Message ...............................-->
