GET

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`

    "abstract": "This dataset contains model data for SNAPSI experiment 'control-full' produced by scientists at UKMO (UK Met Office, Exeter, UK). It is generated with the coupled climate ensemble prediction system GloSea6. \r\n\r\nThe SNAPSI project is a model intercomparison project to study the role of the stratosphere in subseasonal forecasts following stratospheric sudden warmings and the representation of stratosphere-troposphere coupling in subseasonal forecast models.\r\n\r\nThe control-full experiment is a set of retrospective, 45-day, 50-member ensemble forecasts. Following the initial date, stratospheric temperatures and horizontal winds are nudged towards the observed time-evolving state. The forecasts are initialized on the date indicated by the sub-experiment id; for instance, the sub-experiment 's20180125' is initialized on 25 January 2018. The ocean, sea-ice, land-surface and ozone are all initialized and run prognostically.\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------\r\nSources of additional information\r\n------------------------------------------\r\nThe following web links are provided in the Details/Docs section of this catalogue record:\r\n-  Stratospheric Nudging And Predictable Surface Impacts (SNAPSI): A Protocol for Investigating the Role of the Stratospheric Polar Vortex in Subseasonal to Seasonal Forecasts\r\n- New set of controlled numerical experiments: Stratospheric Nudging And Predictable Surface Impacts (SNAPSI)\r\n- MacLachlan, C., Arribas, A., Peterson, K.
