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 in situ air temperature readings recorded between one hour after sunset and one hour after sunrise have been extracted from ICOADS and the ship data have been adjusted to reduce the effects of varying thermometer heights. The data have been adjusted from their respective recording heights to each of three reference heights: 2m, 10m and 20m. The air temperature readings have been subjected to a quality-control procedure and then the values have been aggregated to form gridded averages, with corresponding uncertainty estimates.\r\n\r\nThis dataset has been developed under the following NERC-funded projects: GloSAT (NE/S015647/2), CLASS (NE/R015953/1) and AtlantiS (NE/Y005589/1).", "keywords": "CLASS,temperature,marine,global", "publicationState": "citable", "dataPublishedTime": "2025-05-09T11:14:22", "doiPublishedTime": "2025-05-14T15:13:23.806341", "updateFrequency": "notPlanned", "status": "ongoing", "result_field": { "ob_id": "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/observations/44247/?format=api", "dataPath": "/badc/deposited2025/Classnmat_v2", "oldDataPath": [], "storageLocation": "internal", "storageStatus": "online", "volume": 9619584318, "numberOfFiles": 3864, "fileFormat": "Data are NetCDF formatted" }, "timePeriod": "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/times/12378/?format=api", "geographicExtent": "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/bboxes/4777/?format=api", "nonGeographicFlag": false, "phenomena": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/29133/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/29134/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/29135/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/29136/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/31690/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/31691/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/31692/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/31693/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/50542/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/50543/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/60438/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/70766/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/70767/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/70775/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/75959/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/phenomona/82244/?format=api" ], "dataLineage": "In version 2 of CLASSnmat the following changes have been made to the construction of the dataset:\r\n- Ship Data from additional sources to ICOADS have been used\r\n- A refined Quality Control (QC) procedure has been used\r\n– An ensemble version of the Cornes et al.
