Colormaps

  • Colormaps MUST be defined in colormaps.json.
Example colormaps.json

Variables

We’re only concerned with definitions for variables; availability of variables is on a per-region basis in regions/root.json.

  • Variables MUST be defined in variables.json.
Example variables.json

TODO

  • Extract SWE variables to their own dedicated file. They have different requirements from the GeoTIFF variables, and overloading the JSON isn’t working.

Sebastien notes

I created the variables.json file and updated github

new attributes
  • sensor, platform, algorithm, sensor_text (text to display)
  • color_map_id: refers to colormaps.json file
attributes removed
  • enabled: Now determined by the variables attribute in regions/root.json, because different variables can be enabled for different regions.
  • cog_path: geotiff filepath In regions/root.json
  • color_map
  • color_map_value_range: should be in regions/root.json. Still needs clarification of specs by Karl.

I also included the SWE variables, which were in the original variables.json
