date_time_start

yesDate and time of measurement in ISO 8601 format notation, using UTC time zone, without fractions of seconds. Or start of time range.

2date_time_endno

End of time range of measurement in ISO 8601 format notation, using UTC time zone, without fractions of seconds.

see above
3elevation [m]no

Elevation in meter. A negative value means below sea level, while positive value means above sea level. See Pangaea Geocode definition.

Note: This is not the height/depth of the measurement (unless it's taken on earth's surface) but the topographical elevation at the lat/lon position.


4z_value [m]noVertical position of the measurement, in meter (third spatial dimension).
5z_typeyes, if
z_value [m]
is given
Pangaea Geocode to describe the type of z_value [m].

valid: "DEPTH, water"
valid: "DEPTH, sediment/rock"
valid: "HEIGHT above ground"
invalid: "HEIGHT above aeroplane"

metadata reference6event_nameyesName of event.

Reference key for metadata. event_name must match one event name in metadata file (if metadata file is used).
PS1010-1
data
<parameter> [<unit>]
no

Arbitrary amount of columns (at least one) with (measurement) data. Each column name has to start with the parameter/phenomenon name followed by a unit in square brackets. <parameter> and [<unit>] are separated by a single whitespace.

Reference key for metadata. <parameter> must match the parameter name in metadata file (if metadata file is used).


spatio-temporal locationlastgeometryyes

Geometry in WKT notation without third spatial dimension. The reference system needs to be EPSG:4326 and the unit is decimal degrees. Longitude comes first, latitude second. The geometry type can be chosen freely. However, a simple POINT is usually the best choice.
