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.
Seems ok for now. Might need assessing in the future. It would be nice to have these from the GCMD list perhaps, so they are forming proper metadata?
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
