About data formats
Most of the datasets (but not all!) are formatted as NetCDF.
Additionally, we provide plain text and xml representations of NetCDF known as CDL
and NcML, respectively.
For those who are not familiar to NetCDF, we also provide simple CSV and Excel versions for datasets that are not too big or complex.
Other datasets are either stored in their original format or as a compressed bagit archive.
RDF/XML links on each page point to ORE Resource maps describing the contents.
