Convert a CF Standard Name to/from a GCMD Science Keyword

This web page lets you convert a CF Standard Name (external link) to/from a GCMD Science Keyword (external link). Usually, there are more than one GCMD Science Keywords associated with a given CF Standard Name, and vice versa. For example, converting the CF Standard Name
  air_pressure
into GCMD Science Keywords leads to
  Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Atmospheric Pressure Measurements
  Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Sea Level Pressure
  Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Static Pressure
This is useful if, for example, you have a dataset with CF Standard Names and want to add GCMD Science Keywords to the dataset's keywords metadata.

Want To Do Keyword Conversions from within a Computer Program, Script, or Web Page?

If you change the extension of this web page's URL from .html to .txt, ERDDAP will respond with just the text result. Percent Encoding - The parameter values in the URL (the parts after '=' signs) must be properly percent encoded (external link): all characters other than A-Za-z0-9_-!.~'()* must be encoded as %HH, where HH is the 2 digit hexadecimal value of the character, for example, a space becomes %20. Characters above #127 must be converted to UTF-8 bytes, then each UTF-8 byte must be percent encoded (ask a programmer for help). There are websites that percent encode and decode for you (external link).

Exact Match - This service requires an exact match. Trying to translate a partial or invalid CF Standard Name or GCMD Science Keyword, or using a different case (upper or lower), will lead to an HTML error.
