Software should not be part of the catalog and should be shared via the Ruisdael github. But I agree with you that we should provide some better guidelines as to what counts as a dataset. I'll put this on the agenda for the first core group meeting in January/February 2025. For now, if you are not sure, just ask me 🙂

The catalog lists many different types of data.

Types

  • Model Outputs: the output of numerical weather prediction models, such as DALES, HARMONIE and other types of numerical simulations, reanalyses and forecasts.
  • in-situ observations: these are datasets collected directly at the location of interest.
  • remote-sensing observations: (Datasets collected from a distance, typically using satellites or ground-based remote sensors.)
  • Derived/Processed Data: for example, highly processed datasets, blended satellite and in-situ data, retrievals and datasets based on other datasets.
  • Geospatial Data: for example, datasets that include spatial information about the Earth's surface, sub-surface and atmosphere. GIS layers etc..

Not a Dataset

  • software and data analysis scripts. The latter should be indexed, documented and distributed through the Ruisdael github page.
  • datasets that do not have any link to the Ruisdael project.
