Introduction

The NRT Spatial Data Format extends the NRT Data Format with a geometry column. It is used to create the possibilty to describe both, simple and complex geometries for visualisation products.

o2a.GeoCSV Format version 1

Format version 1 is not yet proofed. It is basically a GeoCSV using the WKT notation.

o2a.GeoCSV Example

datetime    vessel:polarstern:mins:latitude [deg]  vessel:polarstern:mins:longitude [deg]  vessel:polarstern:tsk1:salinity [psu]  vessel:polarstern:geometry [point]

Format

For complete description see 'Format' in NRT Data Format Version 2.

...

The 'unit' in square brackets '[ ]' is used for describing the geometry type. If empty 'point' is the default. If no 'datetime' the row will be deleted.

datetime    type:dev:longitude [deg]    type:dev:latitude [deg] type:dev:parameter1 [°C] type:dev:geometry [point]

datetime    type:dev:parameter1 [°C]    type:dev:geometry [line]

datetime    type:dev:parameter1 [°C]    type:dev:geometry [polygon]

In the context of O2A several publicly known data formats (GeoCSV, GeoTIFF, netCDF) are used but with additional requirements. To avoid confusion the resulting specifications should be referred to with an "O2A" prefix (e.g. "O2A GeoCSV") or by their file extensions (e.g. ".sdi.tab") as shown in this table.

source format namesource format extensionsinternal format extensioninternal format names
GeoCSV.csv, .tsv, .tab.sdi.tabO2A GeoCSV, internal GeoCSV
GeoTIFF.tif, .tiff.sdi.tifO2A GeoTIFF, internal GeoTIFF
netCDF.nc.sdi.ncO2A netCDF, internal netCDF

These O2A specifications might look similar but are not to be confused with the NRT data format!

o2a.GeoTiff Format version 1

Format version 1 is not yet proofed. An GeoTiff with defined metadata tags. The advantage is to store the SensorURN and/or DOI and/or additional metadata tags in
