Observation Instance
Get a list of Observation objects.
### Available end points:
- `/observations/` - Will list all Results in the database
- `/observations.json` - Will return all Results in json format. This can
also be achieved by using the accept header. `application/json`
- `/observations/<object_id>/` - Returns Results object with that id
### Available Methods:
- `GET`
- `HEAD`
### Available filters:
- `title`
- `uuid`
- `keywords`
- `status`
- `result_field`
- `discoveryKeywords`
- `updateFrequency`
- `nonGeographicFlag`
- `publicationState`
- `permissions`
### How to use filters:
These filters can be used like django query filters using __ for related model relationships.
- `/observations/?uuid=d594d53df2612bbd89c2e0e770b5c1a0`
- `/observations/?status=completed`
- `/observations/?results_field__dataPath__startswith=/neodc/esacci`
- `/observations/?discoveryKeywords__name=ESACCI`
- `/observations/?nonGeographicFlag=True`
Filters can be stacked to build an 'AND' relationship. E.g.
- `/observations/?publicationState__in=published,citable&nonGeographicFlag=True`
- `/observations/?publicationState__in=published,citable&discoveryKeyword__name=NDGO0003`

The data were collected by observation stations operated by the Met Office across the UK and transmitted within the following message types: NCM, AWSDLY, DLY3208 and SSER. The data spans from 1853 to 2022. Over time a range of rain gauges have been used - see section 5.6 and the relevant message type information in the linked MIDAS User Guide for further details.\r\n\r\nThis version supersedes the previous version (202207) of this dataset and a change log is available in the archive, and in the linked documentation for this record, detailing the differences between this version and the previous version. The change logs detail new, replaced and removed data. These include the addition of data for calendar year 2022.\r\n\r\nThis dataset is part of the Midas-open dataset collection made available by the Met Office under the UK Open Government Licence, containing only UK mainland land surface observations owned or operated by Met Office. It is a subset of the fuller, restricted Met Office Integrated Data Archive System (MIDAS) Land and Marine Surface Stations dataset, also available through the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis - see the related dataset section on this record. A large proportion of the UK raingauge observing network (associated with WAHRAIN, WADRAIN and WAMRAIN for hourly, daily and monthly rainfall measurements respectively) is operated by other agencies beyond the Met Office, and are consequently currently excluded from the Midas-open dataset. Currently this represents approximately 13% of available daily rainfall observations within the full MIDAS collection.", "keywords": "Met Office, MIDAS, UK, meteorology, rainfall, diurnal, daily, monthly", "publicationState": "citable", "dataPublishedTime": "2023-10-03T16:43:35", "doiPublishedTime": "2023-10-03T16:43:40", "updateFrequency": "notPlanned", "status": "superseded", "result_field": { "ob_id": "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/observations/40688/?format=api", "dataPath": "/badc/ukmo-midas-open/data/uk-daily-rain-obs/dataset-version-202308/", "oldDataPath": [], "storageLocation": "internal", "storageStatus": "online", "volume": 1093782713, "numberOfFiles": 52070, "fileFormat": "Data are BADC-CSV formatted" }, "timePeriod": "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/times/11290/?format=api", "geographicExtent": "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/bboxes/18/?format=api", "nonGeographicFlag": false, "phenomena": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76672/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76674/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76675/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76678/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76679/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76680/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76682/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76690/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76694/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76695/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76696/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76697/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76717/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76718/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76719/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76720/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76721/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76722/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/76723/?format=api" ], "dataLineage": "Data collated by the Met Office and archived in the Met Office's MIDAS database.
