A file conformance checker for NetCDF files following the Climate and Forecast convention and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery is available in the GCW Data Portal. The first convention ensures that data are supported by sufficient use metadata (standardised variable descriptions, units, missing values etc) to properly understand the data.
A vaidation service for NetCDF/CF files have been added. You find this interactive service under the menu "Support". It will also check ACDD elements if requested. The purpose of this service is to help data providers to chech their products before they are made available. The service is available at https://gcw-test.met.no/dataset_validation/form.
