# Title Requesting access to the netCDF files that are shown as netCDF header examples in the Conventions document # Moderator @user # Moderator Status Review [last updated: YYYY-MM-DD] Brief comment on current status, update periodically # Requirement Summary When creating CF-compliant netCDF files, users frequently not only need an idea how the netCDF header should look like, but also how the data variables need to be stored. So, a GitHub folder with some small sample netCDF files would be extremely beneficial. # Technical Proposal Summary Brief proposal overview # Benefits Users trying to create CF-compliant netCDF files will have good netCDF example files for guidance. # Status Quo Discussion of the current state CF and other standards. # Associated pull request Link to associated pull request, if present. # Detailed Proposal As a regular reader and user of the CF Conventions, I frequently need example netCDF files that demonstrate the implementation of specific CF Convention aspects. As of now, the CF Conventions shows example netCDF headers, but to my knowledge, the corresponding CF-compliant netCDF files are not provided. With CF-compliant, I mean netCDF files that pass state-of-the-art CF-checkers such as IOOS Compliance Checker. Also for workshops that cover aspects of the CF conventions, the availability of sample netCDF files that relate to the examples shown in the CF conventions document would be beneficial. Using them, users can e.g. try to read them in, modify them and check if they are still CF compliant. I would very much appreciate if a folder with sample netCDF files could be made accessible. Thanks a lot.
