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/Campaign/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, the coordinates from the starting and ending points could be indicated.
