HF Radar metadata - OceanOPS/helpdesk GitHub Wiki

Registration of HF Radar stations from the EU HFR node

Metadata access

ERDDAP

API

Update of the OceanOPS database

Before the update of the HF Radar network, some records were already existing in the OceanOPS database.

  • Step 1: export the station metadata from the EU HFR node API
  • Step 2: step up the environment. Mainly, creation of new programs. Program name = HF _country _- lead agency
  • Step 3: identify the API records matching with historical records => update of the metadata record
  • Step 4: registration of new records

How to select HF Radar records

  • Network = "Global High Frequency Radar"=> records from the API
  • Network = "HF Radars"=> Historical records + "Global High Frequency Radar" records
  • Network = "HF Radars" + exclude network = "Global High Frequency Radar" => only historical records
