This page is intended to describe best practices while adding a new dataset entry to the Catalog.

Guidelines for all submissions

Naming

The first required field for the submission of a new dataset is the name. This name is used to identify the new dataset within the Catalog environment. For naming the dataset, please use the following convention: Institute Sensor/Campaing/Product/Model at Location.

Examples:

TU Delft optical disdrometer Parsivel² PAR001 at Cabauw
KNMI DALES model outputs over Cabauw
TU Delft CMTRACE Level 2 Wind field at Cabauw

Recommendations for the different submission types

Geographic coordinates

For datasets produced by stationary instruments (in-situ, remote sensing) and for single-column model outputs, the latitude and longitude coordinates should be entered with a precision of at least 4 digits.

For non-stationary in-situ and remote sensing observations, use the description field to indicate the measurement domain. For example, it could be indicated the coordinates from the starting and ending points.

-== General Guidelines ==
-* Latitude and longitude coordinates for in-situ and remote sensing datasets should be entered with a precision of at least 4 digits.
-* Refrain from using Notes. Put important information directly in the description
-* Naming convection for the title: Institute - Sensor - Location
-== Checklist for in-situ data ==
-* dataset description should contain sensor type/brand
-* dataset description should contain .. (if applicable)
-== Checklist for remote-sensing data ==
-== Checklist for model data ==
-* The description should explicitly mention the variables that are provided (e.g., temperature, wind speed, etc..)
-== Campaign data ==
-How to enter campaign data?
