How to handle weather station data in platform element? #168

Closed ElodieFZ closed 2 years ago

ElodieFZ commented 3 years ago

We should use the platform element to add station information.

The long_name attribute should contain the station name. Could the resource attribute contain the link to WIGOS OSCAR URI?(https://oscar.wmo.int/surface/#/search/station/stationReportDetails/0-20000-0-01492 for example). Where could the station WIGOS id be stored? In the long_name together with station name?

For the URI, it's ok with me, although how official that landing page, meaning how persistent the URI is, can be uncertain. For the WIGOS id, we do not have support for it in mmd. Generally the concept is that the resource is leading the user to all additional information about the station, including also the ID. But you can put that in the netCDF file I think.
