Method Detail

getLocation

@Nonnull
EarthLocation getLocation()

Location of this observation

Returns:

the location of this observation

getObservationTime

double getObservationTime()

Actual time of this observation. Convert to CalendarDate with getFeatureCollection().getTimeUnit().makeDate()

Returns:

actual time of this observation.

getObservationTimeAsCalendarDate

@Nonnull
CalendarDate getObservationTimeAsCalendarDate()

Actual time of this observation, as a CalendarDate.

Returns:

actual time of this observation, as a CalendarDate.

getNominalTime

double getNominalTime()

Nominal time of this observation. Convert to Date with getTimeUnit().makeDate(). When the nominal time is not given in the data, it is usually set to the observational time.

Returns:

Nominal time of this observation.

getNominalTimeAsCalendarDate

@Nonnull
CalendarDate getNominalTimeAsCalendarDate()

Nominal time of this observation, as a CalendarDate. Will be equal to the observation date if not exists independently.

Returns:

Nominal time of this observation, as a CalendarDate.

getFeatureData

@Nonnull
StructureData getFeatureData()
                               throws java.io.IOException

The actual data of just this PointFeature. This is the data of the innermost nested table, aka leaf data.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getDataAll

@Nonnull
StructureData getDataAll()
                           throws java.io.IOException

All the data of this observation, joined with data from all parent features.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getFeatureCollection

@Nonnull
DsgFeatureCollection getFeatureCollection()

Get the containing DsgFeatureCollection
