Climate and Forecast (CF) features

Author

Summary
This is an ontology representation of the generic features defined by Climate and Forecast (CF) standard names vocabulary (http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/), maintained by the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/ ) which is intended for use with climate and forecast data, in the atmosphere, surface and ocean domains.
Description
Acknowledgements to all the contributors to the CF Standard Name Table http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/cf-standard-name-contributors
The links between the properties and to the Medium, Layer, and Surface classes are based on the work done by Jonathan Gregory on the definition of a grammar for CF, which is used here with his kind permission.
