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 record contains data for the piClim-370-EAS126aer experiment simulations from the Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP), produced using CanESM5-1. It contains NetCDF output for a set of experiments with anthropogenic emissions for the year 2050 and fixed, pre-industrial, sea surface temperatures, sea ice extent, and land use. For a full description of the experiments, see: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/16/4451/2023/.\r\n\r\nThe piClim-370-EAS126aer experiment is a fixed sea surface temperature (SST) experiment with 1850 SSTs and sea ice concentrations, following the RFMIP piClim experiment designs. Aerosol and precursor emissions (SO2, black carbon and organic carbon) over East Asia are taken from year 2050 of SSP1-2.6, while all other anthropogenic emissions and land use are taken from SSP3-7.0 At least 30 years are requested. East Asia is the region bounded by 95 and 133E and 20 and 53N.\r\n\r\nThe simulations are initialised from the CMIP6 historical experiment. Anthropogenic emissions designed for the ScenarioMIP experiments SSP3-7.0 and SSP1-2.6 are used. All experiments follow SSP3-7.0, with perturbations to regional aerosol and precursor emissions using SSP1-2.6 emissions, following the RAMIP protocol. Data are provided for a subset of CMIP6 variables, following their CMIP6 definitions. Some 3D variables are produced at reduced vertical resolution compared to CMIP6. These are identified with new variable names, as set out in the RAMIP data request: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/16/4451/2023/\r\n\r\nAcronyms\r\n------------\r\nCanESM5-1: The Canadian Earth System Model version 5.1\r\nSSP1-2.6: experiment based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP1 with low climate change mitigation and adaptation challenges and RCP2.6, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 2.6 W/m2 in the year 2100.\r\nSSP3-7.0: experiment based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP3 which is characterised by high challenges to both mitigation and adaptation and RCP7.0, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 7.0 W/m2 in the year 2100.\r\nScenarioMIP: the Scenario Model Intercomparison Project simulates climate outcomes based on alternative plausible future scenarios.\r\nCMIP6: is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, a global collaboration of climate modellers.\r\nRFMIP: The Radiative Forcing Model Intercomparison Project.",
