CF checker

There are a few options when it comes to check if your files are CF compliant. You can use online checkers as these: https://compliance.ioos.us/index.html http://cfconventions.org/compliance-checker.html You upload yur netcdf file on the web and you get back a report.   This is fine if you have one small file but if you want to check a lot of files you have to use a checker on oyur computer. We installed the ioos checker in our conda environments. The ioos checker is python based and it is the same checker used by NCI on the data they publish. Using it is very simple, nust load the module        module use /g/data3/hh5/public/modules      module load conda/analysis3 To can now call the checker cchecker.py  cchecker.py -t=acdd -f json_new -o tpca_acdd.json -c strict /g/data/ua8/CLEX_Data/TPCA_reprocessing/tmp/*/tpca_*_2007.nc
