ARM DOD standards #142

Closed kirknorth closed 10 years ago

kirknorth commented 10 years ago

@scollis, are these standards still relevant for VAPs?

jjhelmus commented 10 years ago

Those are a bit out of date, use the latest ARM Data File Standards.

kirknorth commented 10 years ago

Okay thanks @jjhelmus. Is there somewhere we can file this information besides in this issue?

jjhelmus commented 10 years ago

The ARM standards document only applies to ARM products so I am not to keen on making it's requirements widely known, since it is of little use to non-ARM folks. Also the netCDF files that Py-ART produces do not fully meet the ARM standards since they at time conflict with the CF/Radial standards. I could include a link to the document in the pyart.io.write_cfradial docstring along the lines of "The files produced by this routines also try to meet many of the standards outlined in the ...", does that seem reasonable?

Yup seems reasonable!
