ioos_category -- This is a REQUIRED variable attribute if
is set to true (the default) in setup.xml; otherwise, it is OPTIONAL. For example, Salinity The categories are from NOAA's Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) (external link).
- (As of writing this) we aren't aware of formal definitions of these names.
- The core names are from Zdenka Willis' .ppt "Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) NOAA's Approach to Building an Initial Operating Capability" and from the US IOOS Blueprint (external link) (page 1-5).
- It is likely that this list will be revised in the future. If you have requests, please email BobSimons2.00 at gmail.com.
- ERDDAP supports a larger list of categories than IOOS does because Bob Simons added additional names (mostly based on the names of scientific fields, for example, Biology, Ecology, Meteorology, Statistics, Taxonomy) for other types of data.
- The current valid values in ERDDAP are Bathymetry, Biology, Bottom Character, CO2, Colored Dissolved Organic Matter, Contaminants, Currents, Dissolved Nutrients, Dissolved O2, Ecology, Fish Abundance, Fish Species, Heat Flux, Hydrology, Ice Distribution, Identifier, Location, Meteorology, Ocean Color, Optical Properties, Other, Pathogens, Phytoplankton Species, Pressure, Productivity, Quality, Salinity, Sea Level, Statistics, Stream Flow, Surface Waves, Taxonomy, Temperature, Time, Total Suspended Matter, Unknown, Wind, Zooplankton Species, and Zooplankton Abundance.
- There is some overlap and ambiguity between different terms -- do your best.
- If you add ioos_category to the list of
in ERDDAP's setup.xml file, users can easily find datasets with similar data via ERDDAP's "Search for Datasets by Category" on the home page. - Try using ioos_category to search for datasets of interest.
- There was a discussion about ERDDAP and ioos_category in the ERDDAP Google Group. (external link)
