Supported Datasets
This list shows the currently supported Datasets and their selection criteria. This
list is being expanded and more selection criteria are being added as well.
| Dataset Name | Search Criteria |
|---|
| DMSP | satellite : "name of satellite" , orbitStartTime : yyyy-MM-dd , orbitEndTime : yyyy-MM-dd , geometry : "lat-lon point" |
| DSCOVR | satellite : "name of satellite" , processEnvs : "procesing environment,code(s)" , dataTypes : "dataType,code(s)" , dataStartTime : yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mmZ , dataEndTime : yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mmZ , processStartTime : yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mmZ , processEndTime : yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mmZ |
| Multibeam | ship : "name of survey ship" , survey : "desired survey" , startYear : yyyy , endYear : yyyy , geometry : "bounding lat-lon box parameters" |
| Ionosphere | stationName : "desired station" , obsStartTime : yyyy-MM-dd , obsEndTime : yyyy-MM-dd , geometry : "bounding lat-lon box parameters" |
| (Hydrographic) Sounding | survey : "desired survey" , startYear : yyyy , endYear : yyyy , geometry : "bounding lat-lon box parameters" , activeOnly : true or false |
Notes:
Most of the string fields, like
stationName and
survey are case sensitive.
Dates and times must be written in ISO 8601 format (e.g.
yyyy-MM-dd ).
DSCOVR dates include the time component (e.g.
yyyy-MM-dd T HH:mm Z)
The
Bounding box latitude-longitude parameter is a string composed of four
floating point decimal degree numbers in the order of
"minX, minY, maxX, maxY" (or
"minLon, minLat, maxLon, maxLat" )
The DMSP
geometry is a point covered by the satellite swath. This parameter is
a string composed of two floating point decimal degree numbers in the order of
"longitude,latitude" .
The
activeOnly parameter selects current data if
true, or all data if
false.
The search criteria are intended for selecting data, filtering out
unwanted data to produce a smaller result. Although it might be possible
to use these criteria to explore the data, this is not their intended use.
