Intern:Time Series Stations

=Handling Time Series Stations=

Definition
This page deals with time series stations, e.g. sites or locations where continous time series measurements are performed or which are regularily revisited in order to perform scientific work. Examples are e.g. fixed-point marine observatories such as moorings or other sensor platforms, atmospheric measurement stations or sites of scientific interest such as the HAUSGARTEN.

These stations are frequently identified by a name or title given by the community and it is a challenge to identify data collected at these stations in PANGAEA because no consistent way to label these stations yet exits.

Handling in PANGAEA
According to the discussion results of the 6th PANGAEA Meeting the preferred way to handle time series station labels is to use the PANGAEA terms catalogue using a dedicated ontology section e.g. 'PANGAEA, time series stations'
