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`

    "title": "Multiscale benthic images collected by Autonomous Underwater Vehicle during expedition JC257 in the UK-1 area of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, Pacific Ocean, 2024.",
    "abstract": "A collection of 52,771 benthic still images was obtained using a downward-looking camera mounted on the UK Autosub5 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), deployed from RRS James Cook during cruise JC257 in the abyssal plain (~4130 m depth) of the UK-1 exploration area of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, Pacific Ocean, in 2024. During mission AS5M094, the AUV was programmed to replicate parallel 1-to-2 km long transect lines in four sites spaced by an array of scales, located 0, 15, 30, 100 km South from the northern border of the UK-1 exploration area. The Grasshopper2 GS2-GE-50S5C camera mounted on the AUV collected vertically orientated still images at a target altitude of 3 m above the seabed, with one image being captured per second. These images were colour-corrected to enhance visual fidelity and converted from original 8-bit RAW to JPG images. The image set includes images collected above 1.6 m and below 3 m altitude, which was corrected for the lever-arm corrected AUV pitch. The data were collected by scientists from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK as part of the NERC-funded Seabed Mining And Resilience To EXperimental impact (SMARTEX) project (NE/T003537/1).",
