Description

This document outlines the metadata and data structure requirements developed to facilitate the use of geophysical datasets by improving their portability and accessibility, and by making their contents self- describing. This approach was originally selected to deal with atmospheric and oceanographic datasets, but has been recently expanded to support all measurements from Earth observation instruments.
