NEESPI METADATA MODEL

The NESSPI metadata model provides minimal set of attributes that should be included in the data submitted by data providers. These attributes are needed so the data can be visualized by the GES DISC data analysis and visialization system, Giovanni.

Example of the set of attributes to provide in HDF file:

• dataProductName
• dataProductVersion
• sensorName
• timeInterval
• timeFrequency
• startTime
• endTime
• mapProjection
• cornerUpperLeft
• northernmostLatitude
• southernmostLatitude
• westernmostLatitude
• easternmostLatitude
• stepLatitude
• stepLongitude
• dayNightFlag
• fileFormat
• fileFormatVersion
• creationDate
