They may be direct or indirect measurements and may be feature or coverage data. In order to be valid, observations data must carry geospatial and temporal metadata as well as variable values (or equivalent such as pixel values for a faster coverage). url: http://reference.metoffice.gov.uk/DataCategories/data-types/Observations scheme: http://reference.metoffice.gov.uk/DataCategories/data-types concepts: id: ocean title: Ocean url: https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2-topic-hierarchy/blob/main/topic-hierarchy/earth-system-discipline/ocean scheme: https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2-topic-hierarchy/blob/main/topic-hierarchy/earth-system-discipline concepts: id: 22 title: BUFR/CREX Oceanographic elements url: http://codes.wmo.int/bufr4/b/22 scheme: http://codes.wmo.int/bufr4/b |
