RE:
> Adding features to better support satellite data
See attached white paper for how to extend CF conventions for GOES-R level 1b space weather data. These conventions will work for polar orbiting satellite level 1b space weather data also. Level 2 space weather products ill require additional constructs,
Business has been lousy. Otherwise, I would love to come !
very respectfully,
randy

The project goals include several specific CF development efforts, both standards development and software prototyping. (We are just starting to spin-up community conversations around these specific goals for drafting CF extensions.) Another aspect of the funded project is community engagement including with the existing CF community, geoscience domains that have not been very involved in CF, and other standards bodies (e.g., OGC). These and other topics are on the current list of possible agenda items. Please let us know if you have other agenda items in mind.

> Improved support for dimensionless data variables, logarithmic scales, differences, etc.
> While we wish we could host all those interested in attending, given the available meeting space and the number of project participants, we are asking members of the CF community that are interested in attending to contact us directly and let us know which aspects of CF are of interest to you and your goals for the meeting. Please submit your expressions of interest by Monday, 4 April 2016. We plan to invite participants by Friday, 8 April 2016.
