Content Framework for Operational Environmental Remote Sensing Data Sets: NPOESS concepts

This poster (or slides) describes the main concepts which relate data format (HDF5), metadata, and data organization, as they are being applied to NPOESS. It includes the motivation for selecting HDF5; the motivation and general implementation of FGDC base metadata and remote sensing extensions; and the current attempt to use best experiences with HDF-EOS swath and netCDF Climate & Forecast conventions to guide NPOESS product definition.
