Station¤

Introduction¤

The Station is the main component of Paricia. Stations own the measurement data, who can view the existing data and add new sets, and captures a lot of metadata on the geographical location of the station, including longitude, latitude and altitude, but also region, basin, ecosystem or area covered.

It also owns another key parameter used during the data ingestion process: the timezone where the station is located, used to interpret the time of the datasets.

Incorrect timezone

If this parameter is not defined correctly, the time of the data associated to the station would be interpreted wrong. Check the parameter before uploading data, specially the first time.

As pointed out in the permissions page, Stations visibility can take a third option, internal, that only allows registered users to visualize the data of the station. Stations also require change permission in order to be able to upload data associated to that station and then validating it.
