NetCDF Standard: SEACOOS CDL v2.0 (PDF)

This document describes a set of conventions adopted by the SouthEast Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing System (SEACOOS) to promote sharing and exchange of data from disparate ocean observing and remote-sensing data sources. These data include observations from buoys, offshore towers, ships, tide- and stream-gauging stations, acoustic profilers, radar, aircraft, satellites and other remote mapping sensors. SEACOOS is a regional partnership that has initiated an integrated coastal ocean observing system for a four-state (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida) region of the southeast coastal U.S. (Seim, et al., 2003, Seim, et al, 2002). SEACOOS partners publish near real-time data in netCDF (network Common Data Form) format and make it available on the Internet through OPeNDAP (Open source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol) Servers.
