Convert a CF Standard Name to/from a GCMD Science Keyword
This web page lets you convert a CF Standard Name to/from a GCMD Science Keyword. Usually, there are more than one GCMD Science Keywords associated with a given CF Standard Name, and vice versa. For example, converting the CF Standard Nameair_pressure
into GCMD Science Keywords leads to
Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Atmospheric Pressure Measurements Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Sea Level Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Static PressureThis is useful if, for example, you have a dataset with CF Standard Names and want to add GCMD Science Keywords to the dataset's keywords metadata.
