  • A statement of the amount of detail provided to sufficiently assess fitness for purpose.

  • Precision can be expressed as a distance, or expressed without unit of measure specifying spatial resolution by means of an "equivalent scale" with a fraction (e.g., 1:1,000, 1:1,000,000) or alternatively specifying the angular distance.

  • Where the spatial resolution of the dataset is not the original resolution of the data (e.g., the resolution at which a climate model was run), you can note that in the description. if applicable, please consider GridSpec (https://extranet.gfdl.noaa.gov/~vb/gridstd/gridstd.html)

Example:

  • Reanalysis: 0.25° x 0.25° Mean, spread and members: 0.5° x 0.5°
