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.
