The F value (0 to 3) determines the type of descriptor. Element descriptors (F=0): As the name implies, these descriptors are used to convey elemental data and related meta-data. The X value identifies the Class of the descriptor (i.e. Horizontal Coordinate parameters, Temperature parameters, etc.). The Y value is the descriptor's number within ...
DTED (or Digital Terrain Elevation Data) is a standard of digital datasets which consists of a matrix of terrain elevation values, i.e., a Digital Elevation Model.This standard was originally developed in the 1970s to support aircraft radar simulation and prediction.
Geospatial metadata (also geographic metadata) is a type of metadata applicable to geographic data and information.Such objects may be stored in a geographic information system (GIS) or may simply be documents, data-sets, images or other objects, services, or related items that exist in some other native environment but whose features may be appropriate to describe in a (geographic) metadata ...
GEOMS – Generic Earth Observation Metadata Standard [1] is a metadata standard used for archiving data from groundbased networks, like the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC), [2] and for using this kind of data for the validation of NASA [3] and ESA [4] satellite data.
The value recorded for each cell may be of any level of measurement, including a discrete qualitative value, such as land use type, or a continuous quantitative value, such as temperature, or a null value if no data is available. While a raster cell stores a single value, it can be extended by using raster bands to represent RGB (red, green ...

NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is a set of software libraries and self-describing, machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data. The project homepage [2] is hosted by the Unidata program at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). They are also the chief ...
