 ====== Reformatting files to AeroCom/HTAP standards ====== ====== Reformatting files to AeroCom/HTAP standards ======

 +**Note: these commands cover the elder phase 3 naming scheme, but should nevertheless still usefull**
 +
 +The AeroCom standard is described in the section "submitting to the AeroCom database".\\
 +https://wiki.met.no/aerocom/data_submission
 +
 +Below simple nco commands are listed which can be of help to reformat.
 +
 +A public set of format correction tools is under development and can be accessed here:\\
 +https://github.com/metno/aerocom-data-correction-tools
 +
 +Format can be checked with a CF checker, eg:\\
