5 years ago GCMD keywords for location could be very useful, in particular GEOGRAPHICAL REGION: https://gcmdservices.gsfc.nasa.gov/static/kms/locations/
Antarctica and high altitude stand out as missing.
Geographic area needs to have a controlled vocabulary list in order to effectively provide reports and statistics.
For now, generic areas of arctic, antarctic and high-latitude are provided.
Some research might focus on a specific country, wider region, specific site or oceanographic area.
Some possible vocab lists are: SeaDataNet: Full list: http://seadatanet.maris2.nl/v_bodc_vocab_v2/welcome.asp GCMD: https://earthdata.nasa.gov/earth-observation-data/find-data/gcmd/gcmd-keywords
