Description:

This PR introduces a detailed data format specification for processed data.

  • Based on OceanSITES 1.4 with some enhancements/deviations
  • Incorporates OG1 (OceanGliders) patterns for contributor metadata
  • Maintains CF conventions and ACDD compliance
  • Enhanced vocabulary requirements for interoperability
  • ORCID integration for persistent researcher identification
  • OceanSITES QC flag system, but with notes of deviations from IOC
  • Specifications for file naming conventions following OceanSITES
  • Dimensions: Uses N_LEVELS instead of DEPTH (more aligned with CCHDO)
  • Units: UDUNITS-2 compliance with oceanographic additions (sverdrup instead of Sv, to distinguish from sievert)
  • Time format: OG1 compact format (YYYYmmddTHHMMss instead of YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ
