Ideas for miscellaneous content

A discussion thread to be used as a parking lot for topics and common USO questions that do not have an obvious home in any of the existing sections.

Hello! I suggest adding a Resources section with user-focused content like:

• Decision Trees to help users determine which access method best suits their needs
• A Troubleshooting guide for common misconceptions and technical challenges (setting up environments?)
• An FAQ covering questions from both new and experienced users
• A Glossary for technical terms, acronyms, and NSIDC-specific terminology used in the cookbook
• A list of additional resources, including relevant documentation, community forums, and support channels (e.g. Help Center on our website)

These are great suggestions. Thank you.

I came here to suggest many of the things Danica wrote already, so this entry is a thumbs up to all that's suggested above!

Quarto has a glossary tool https://debruine.github.io/glossary/ in R

Add read/write data section

I think we need a section on reading and writing datasets.

Cassie Nickles (formerly PO-DAAC) and I put this page together with contributions from others https://nasa-openscapes.github.io/earthdata-cloud-cookbook/how-tos/read_data.html

I think more importantly, a section on how to write CF-compliant NetCDF and tidy csv files is required. This could be a guide for data producers.
