data_position.argos_location_class currently unused #269

Open lewismc opened 1 year ago

lewismc commented 1 year ago

The following row is unused in the data_position table

argos_location_class character varying(1),

I need to seek clarity on this one. @tagtuna any advice? Thanks

Hi Lewis, we will need to keep this one because it's a data field specific to the Argos satellite system. Some tags carry GPS-like antenna and establish positions from Argos whenever the antenna breaks the sea surface and in contact with the atmosphere. However, this system utilizes the Doppler effect so it's positional accuracy is lower and hence this flag is used by the system to denote its accuracy

Sounds good. In the future, an example eTUFF which has this metadata attribute would be great so we could test and implement. Thanks
