This feature type is used to represent some key characteristics of the meteorological situation at a specific point. Meteorological parameters are usually parameters that are measured over intervals of time, e.g. the amount of precipitation on a square meter in the last 24 hours. The time span for which a single observation of this feature type is valid is to be interpreted by the user.

Description |
Mean sea level pressure MSLP |
Mean sea level pressure (MSLP) is the atmospheric pressure at sea level or (when measured at a given elevation on land) the station pressure reduced to sea level assuming an isothermal layer at the station temperature. Property type: Numeric Default Value: null Display Unit: hPa Validation rule: Value ≥ 850 and ≤ 1100 Display Options: Decimals: 1 |
Pressure PRESSURE |
The atmospheric pressure measured at the point of observation. Property type: Numeric Default Value: null Display Unit: hPa Validation rule: Value ≥ 850 and ≤ 1100 Display Options: Decimals: 1 |
Temperature TEMPERATURE |
The thermodynamic temperature of the air. Property type: Numeric Default Value: null Display Unit: °C Validation rule: Value ≥ -90 and ≤ 60 Display Options: Decimals: 1 |
Precipitation PRECIPITATION |
Precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity. This property is used for recording the amount of precipitation. Property type: Numeric Default Value: null Display Unit: l/m² (equal to mm) Validation rule: Value ≥ 0 and ≤ 2000 Display Options: Decimals: 1 |
