| categoryObservation |
Category observation |
A single ResultValue for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method. |
| countObservation |
Count observation |
A single ResultValue for a single Variable, counted on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, and having a specific ProcessingLevel. |
| measurement |
Measurement |
A single ResultValue for a single Variable, measured on or at a SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, and having a specific ProcessingLevel. |
| pointCoverage |
Point coverage |
A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, with a fixed ValueDateTime, but measured over varying X,Y locations, where X and Y are horizontal coordinates. |
| profileCoverage |
Profile coverage |
A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over multiple locations along a depth profile with only one varying location dimension (e.g., Z, where Z is depth). ValueDateTime may be fixed or controlled. |
| sectionCoverage |
Section coverage |
A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over varying X (horizontal) and Z (depth) coordinates. ValueDateTime may be fixed or controlled. |
| spectraCoverage |
Spectra coverage |
A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over multiple wavelengths of light. ValueDateTime may be fixed or controlled. |
| temporalObservation |
Temporal observation |
A single ResultValue for a single Variable, measured on or at a SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, and having a specific ProcessingLevel. |
| timeSeriesCoverage |
Time series coverage |
A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature of fixed location, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over time. |
| trajectoryCoverage |
Trajectory coverage |
A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over varying X,Y, Z, and D locations, where X and Y are horizontal coordinates, Z is a vertical coordinate, and D is the distance along the trajectory. ValueDateTime may be fixed (DTS Temperature) or controlled (glider). |
| transectCoverage |
Transect coverage |
A series of ResultValues for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method, with specific Units, having a specific ProcessingLevel, but measured over multiple locations along a transect having varying location dimensions (e.g., X and/or Y, where X and Y are horizontal coordintes). ValueDateTime may be fixed or controlled. |
| truthObservation |
Truth observation |
A single ResultValue for a single Variable, measured on or at a single SamplingFeature, using a single Method. |
