<p>The objective of <a href="https://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-cmip">CMIP</a> is to better understand past, present and future climate changes arising from natural, unforced variability or in response to changes in radiative forcing in a multi-model context. A specific committee, the <a href="https://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-cmip/wip">WGCM Infrastructure Panel (WIP)</a> is charged with coordinating infrastructure support for CMIP. It works with projects funded to develop software and supporting infrastructure that facilitates access to and analysis of the CMIP model output. It defines specifications and standards that ensure model output is written in a common structure and format, and that it is archived and made accessible worldwide in a common way. These specifications and standards are collected into a <a href="https://wcrp-cmip.github.io/WGCM_Infrastructure_Panel/CMIP6/data_request.html">Data Request (CMIP DRQ)</a>.</p>

<h3 id="cordex---coordinated-regional-downscaling-experiment">CORDEX - Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment</h3>

<p>The vision of <a href="https://cordex.org">CORDEX</a> is to advance and coordinate through global partnerships the science and application of regional climate downscaling of data directly from contemporary global climate models. The WCRP views regional downscaling as both an important research topic and an opportunity to engage a broader community of climate scientists in its activities. Regional climate information is more than ever needed for decision-making on societal issues such as vulnerability and adaptation to a changing climate with weather/water extremes. For infrastructure support, data and metadata standards CORDEX draws on and contributes to the work of WIP. Similar to CMIP, these data specifications are collected into a Data Request, the <a href="https://cordex.org/experiment-guidelines/cordex-cmip6/data-request-cordex-cmip6-rcms/">CORDEX DRQ</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://esgf.llnl.gov">ESGF</a> is a collaboration involving multiple international organizations that provides access to a vast array of climate data. The software stack that provides the ESGF federated services draws heavily on CF compliant metadata and additional conventions developed and maintained by the different MIPS that ESGF supports.</p>

<p><a href="https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu">Copernicus CDS</a> provides comprehensive climate data and services. Depending on data type several formats are used, including netCDF/CF. External data providers are requested to follow a specified data format that builds on CF (see this <a href="https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/COPSRV/%28version+C3S-0.3%29+Guide+to+NetCDF+encoding+for+C3S+providers">link</a> for details).</p>

JEDI is led by the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA), uses CF conventions to handle diverse data types in a unified framework for weather prediction and climate research.

Managed by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), this repository adheres to CF conventions for its extensive collection of Arctic research data.
## Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
IMOS provides oceanographic data following the CF conventions, ensuring that their datasets are accessible and usable by the wider scientific community.

<h3 id="wmo-experimental-cf-netcdf-profiles">WMO Experimental CF-netCDF Profiles</h3>

<p>Within the overaching framework of WMO Information System (WIS) extensions to the Climate and Forecast Conventions (CF conventions) for netCDF are developed (WMO-CF extensions, or <em>profiles</em>). They aim to reduce the effort involved in specifying data products and ensure interoperability by providing standardized semantics and metadata. The level of standardization provided by the WMO-CF extensions is in many cases greater than what is provided by the CF conventions to satisfy the specific WMO operational needs to support Earth System monitoring and prediction. New netCDF profiles are defined to act as templates for reporting data from different sources.</p>
