CLIMATE DATA RECORD PROGRAM
Operational CDRs
In addition to embracing the NRC CDR definition, operational CDRs are routinely assessed for quality and systematically generated, on time, all the time. The first iteration of a CDR that entails public posting of the source code, data and documentation. The CDR has been through the six-phase R2O process that is described in the Developers Guidelines.
