ACCESS FUNCTIONS

Definition of the access functions that are developed in Eubrewnet

The users with the right permissions have access to some functions to directly get the information stored in the database. The root of the access functions is the same for all http://eubrewnet.aemet.es/eubrewnet/data/. From this point users can select different function. As Example Get DS.

The DS database access function provides the Direct Sun individual measures enhanced by information from their summaries and if they are between correct Mercury Lamp Tests.

Description of the DS Get Function:

There is a Get Function Table with a summary of the available functions to access stored data and their links as example. The extended documentation for each function can be directly access from the table using the links in the column Long Description.

For products, the Eubrewnet provides an interface for processing by demand. The Process Function Table gives a summary of the available process functions. Even the data providers can force a process and database stored data update using the update interface. The Update Function Table sumarizes the available functions. Providers can force only the update of the products of their Brewers.

There are some common inputs for the functions as the parameter format or the list of common inputs (as the brewerid and dates) wich can be used in almost every function. The description can be found in the COMMON SECTION.

Examples of the use of the functions are provided for Matlab 2013A, Matlab 2015A and Python in the EXAMPLE SECTION.

For security purposes user authentication has been added to this tools and their use is registered.


COMMON

Format

The access functions provide four different ways of data access using the format input parameter.

Format input Description Example
jsonM JSON matrix formed by lists of lists (default value). The first list is formed by the value names and the following lists are the query outputs Get DS by default
jsonO JSON object of lists, where each key is the value name and its value is the time sorted list of them Get DS with jsonO format
text Human readable comma separated values where first row is the value names and the following are the query outputs Get DS with text format
csv CSV direct download where first row are the value names and the following are the query outputs Get DS with text format

Common Inputs

Almost all functions accept the following input options:

Parameter Description Example
brewerid Brewer identification number Get function with brewerid input parameter
date Date in YYYY-MM-DD format Get function with date input parameter
enddate Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If provided, the function will return the query in a date range Get function with enddate input parameter
fields Comma separated list of fields to write in the output. You can use myfields* to select all fields starting with myfields O3L1_5 output with just the ''gmt'' and ''o3'' fields

See also the code examples in matlab and python.

Means

For selected functions, passing the &means=xk variable in the URL will return the mean of all the output fields in the period specified by xk, where x is a number and k is any of min, h (hours), d (days), or M (months). The output includes two extra fields, stats_nobs, with the number of measurements which have been used to calculate the mean, and stats_std_o3 with the standard deviation of the ozone over the specified period. Examples:

GET FUNCTIONS FOR HIGHER LEVELS

The output of the GET functions is stored in Eubrewnet's database, from where it's retrieved on each function call with little further processing. They are faster than their equivalent PROCESS functions, which process the data in real time, usually starting from the previous level. Whenever possible, GET functions should be used instead of the PROCESS equivalents.

PROCESS FUNCTIONS FOR HIGHER LEVELS

The main output of the PROCESS functions is the same as their GET equivalents, but here the calculation is done in real time, usually starting from the previous level. This makes the PROCESS functions much slower, so we recommend using the GET equivalents when available.

O3L1 Returns the Level 1 of Ozone O3L1 Process O3L1
O3L1_5 Returns the Level 1.5 of Ozone O3L1_5 Process O3L1_5

UNC Filter Flag

The following table describes the values of the filter_flag field found in the UNCL1_5 and UNCL1_5_V2 functions. Note the values below 1024 correspond to the standard ozone ''filter_flag''

Name Set when Value
FLAG_OZONE_STD_FILT Ozone standard deviation above 2.5 (ds) or 5 (zs), unless another values is set in the configuration 1
FLAG_AIRMASS_FILT above airmass 3.5 (brewers affected by straylight) or 6 (straylight correction provided or MKIII), unless another value is set in the configuration 2
FLAG_HG_FILT no valid HG 4
FLAG_MIN_FILT below min Ozone Value, as set in the configuration 8
FLAG_MAX_FILT above max Ozone Value, as set in the configuration 16
FLAG_BLACKLIST date and time included in the Exclusion List 32
FLAG_U_O3 outside the [0,25] limit for the combined uncertainty of individual measurements 1024
FLAG_U_O3_SYS outside the [0,25] limit for the systematic uncertainty of individual measurements 2048
FLAG_U_O3_RAN outside the [0,25] limit for the random uncertainty of individual measurements 4096


UPDATE FUNCTIONS

These functions use the PROCESS functions to update Eubrewnet's database, so that the data is available to the GET functions. This process is automatically done when a configuration is updated, so users do not need to directly access these functions.

O3L1 Update the Database content for the Level 1 of Ozone O3L1 Update O3L1
O3L1_5 Update the Database content for 1.5 of Ozone O3L1_5 Update O3L1_5
O3L2_0 Update the Database content for 2.0 of Ozone O3L2_0 Update O3L2_0

Update O3L1


Update O3L1_5


Update O3L2_0


Bypassing data filters

Data with a non-zero filter_flag value will not be included in the O3L1_5 and AODL1_5 output unless &rejected is added included in the URL. For example, the output of

https://eubrewnet.aemet.es/eubrewnet/data/process/O3L1_5?brewerid=185&date=2018-11-01&enddate=2018-11-02&format=text&fields=gmt,filter_flag

only shows data with filter_flag equal to zero, whereas

https://eubrewnet.aemet.es/eubrewnet/data/process/O3L1_5?brewerid=185&date=2018-11-01&enddate=2018-11-02&rejected&format=text&fields=gmt,filter_flag

includes observations with filter_flag values of 1, 2, 3, 6…, which will would have been hidden were it not for the &reject included in the URL

The filter_flag values correspond to the following conditions and variables:

Flag type Flag name Description Value
Ozone data filter FLAG_OZONE_STD_FILT Above the ozone standard deviation threshold 1
Ozone data filter FLAG_AIRMASS_FILT Above max airmass 2
Ozone data filter FLAG_HG_FILT Wrong HG 4
Ozone data filter FLAG_MIN_FILT Below Min Ozone Value 8
Ozone data filter FLAG_MAX_FILT Above Max Ozone Value 16
Ozone data filter FLAG_BLACKLIST Date in Exclusion List 32
Uncertainty data filter FLAG_U_O3 outside the [0,25] limit for combined uncertainty 1024
Uncertainty data filter FLAG_U_O3_SYS outside the [0,25] limit for systematic uncertainty 2048
Uncertainty data filter FLAG_U_O3_RAN outside the [0,25] limit for random uncertainty 4096

You can also omit any of these data filters adding allowfilter=xxx[,yyy] to the URL, where xxx is one of the Flag names in the above table. Note you can pass more than one Flag name, separating them by commas. Capitalization is not taken into account.

Thus for example, if the last URL is changed to

https://eubrewnet.aemet.es/eubrewnet/data/process/O3L1_5?brewerid=185&date=2018-11-01&enddate=2018-11-02&rejected=True&format=text&fields=gmt,filter_flag&allowfilter=FLAG_OZONE_STD_FILT,flag_hg_filt

both the FLAG_OZONE_STD_FILT and FLAG_HG_FILT data filters will be ignored and all the data will have a filter_flag value of 0.
