Guidelines to publish climate data

These guidelines are covering the main steps involved in publishing a climate dataset. The publishing options available to climate researchers in Australia are listed, based on their organisation and the type of data to be published. Some of these options are covered in detail, highlighting how to prepare a dataset for publication, what to include both in the dataset itself and in the metadata record. The focus was on institutions and projects we know of that publish climate data. If you are aware of others that we didn’t cover please contact us by creating an issue.
