Station metadata¶
wis2box is designed to support data ingest and processing of any kind. For observations, processing workflow typically requires station metadata to be present at runtime.
To manage your stations of interest, create a CSV file named metadata/station/station_list.csv in $WIS2BOX_HOST_DATADIR,
specifying one line per station as follows:
station_name,wigos_station_identifier,traditional_station_identifier,facility_type,latitude,longitude,elevation,territory_name,wmo_region
BALAKA,0-454-2-AWSBALAKA,AWSBALAKA,Land (fixed),-14.983333,34.966666,618,Malawi,I
BENI-ABBES,0-20000-0-60602,60602,Land (fixed),30.12846,-2.14953,510,Algeria,I
IN-GUEZZAM,0-20000-0-60690,60690,Land (fixed),19.56388,5.74887,399,Algeria,I
MALOMO,0-454-2-AWSMALOMO,AWSMALOMO,Land (fixed),-13.14202,33.83727,1088,Malawi,I
This CSV file is used by wis2box data processing pipelines and is required before starting automated processing.
Note
run the command wis2box metadata station publish-collection to
publish your stations as a collection to the wis2box API
