Outline

In this section, we’ll examine the gridfile class, which is used to catalogue climate data and assign it human-readable metadata. The section includes of the following pages:

gridMetadata

We’ll start by examining gridMetadata, an auxiliary class used to define metadata for climate data sets.

Coding 2

We’ll then do a short open-coding session in order to practice using gridMetadata

gridfile

With this background, we’ll then examine the gridfile class, and overview its key features

Coding 3

Next, we’ll examine some key gridfile commands, and we’ll use the class to catalogue our climate datasets.
