Convert a CF Standard Name to/from a GCMD Science Keyword
This web page lets you convert a
CF Standard Name
to/from a
GCMD Science Keyword.
Usually, there are more than one GCMD Science Keywords associated with a given
CF Standard Name, and vice versa. For example, converting the CF Standard Name air_pressure into GCMD Science Keywords leads to Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Atmospheric Pressure Measurements
Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Sea Level Pressure and Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Static Pressure. This is useful if, for example, you have a dataset with CF Standard Names
and want to add GCMD Science Keywords to the dataset's keywords metadata.
View/download the entire GCMD Science Keywords list in these file types: .csv,
.htmlTable,

If you change the extension of this web page's URL from .html to .txt,
ERDDAP will respond with just the text result.
Percent Encoding - The parameter values in the URL (the parts after '=' signs) must be properly
percent encoded:
all characters other than A-Za-z0-9_-!.~'()* must be encoded as %HH,
where HH is the 2 digit hexadecimal value of the character, for example, a space becomes
%20. Characters above #127 must be converted to UTF-8 bytes, then each UTF-8 byte must
be percent encoded (ask a programmer for help). There are
web sites that percent encode and decode for you.
Exact Match -
This service requires an exact match. Trying to translate a partial or
invalid CF Standard Name or GCMD Science Keyword, or using a different case
(upper or lower), will lead to an HTML error.
